Hope other Oppn leaders will raise voice against hate: Jamiat
Hailing Rahul Gandhi’s maiden speech as the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, prominent Muslim organisation Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind on Wednesday hoped that other opposition leaders will also raise their voice fearlessly in the Parliament against the violence, hatred and injustice.Jamiat president Maulana Arshad Madani said his organisation supports what Gandhi said about violence and hatred because no religion in the world allows violence and hatred to be spread.
“Religion gives the message of humanity, tolerance, love and unity. Those who use it to spread hatred and violence cannot be true followers of their religion,” Madani said.
Sensible people should condemn and oppose such people at all levels, he added.
Asserting “no religion allows violence in any form”, Madani said, “What Rahul Gandhi has said has been the stand of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind and its leaders since day one, and they have always said that religion teaches love, tolerance and unity.”
He further said that mob lynching is a cruel form of violence.
The Supreme Court has also expressed its displeasure on this and has given strict instructions to the Centre to prevent it. But there has been no serious attempt to stop this violence carried out on the basis of religion,” he added.
Recently there were mob lynching incidents in Odisha and in Uttar Pradesh’s Aligarh, he said.
