New Delhi: The Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind has strongly criticized the Indian government for its anti-Muslim stance, the controversial Waqf (Amendment) Act 2025, and \u201cfalse and divisive\u201d allegations of Muslim infiltration.<\/p>\nNew Delhi: The Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind has strongly criticized the Indian government for its anti-Muslim stance, the controversial Waqf (Amendment) Act 2025, and \u201cfalse and divisive\u201d allegations of Muslim infiltration.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, a statement issued after the Central Working Committee meeting of the organization, chaired by Maulana Mahmood Madani at its headquarters in New Delhi, said that Muslims in India are facing growing hostility under the current regime, marked by curbs on religious freedoms, bulldozer politics, and propaganda against halal practices. Madani said that the government and sections of the Indian media are complicit in creating an environment of fear and discrimination aimed at reducing Muslims to second-class citizens.<\/p>\n
The meeting, attended by senior scholars including Maulana Mufti Abul Qasim Nomani and Maulana Mohammad Salman Bijnori, re-elected Maulana Madani as president for the 2024\u20132027 term and rejected Indian Home Minister Amit Shah\u2019s allegations of large-scale Muslim infiltration. It said that the Indian government itself had admitted before the Supreme Court and Parliament that there is no verified data on illegal immigrants, adding that blaming Indian Muslims for demographic changes is politically motivated.<\/p>\n
The Jamiat warned that the Waqf (Amendment) Act 2025 poses a grave threat to the constitutional and religious identity of Waqf institutions and vowed to challenge it through legal and democratic means. It also urged the Indian government to extend the registration deadline under the Umeed Portal by two years.<\/p>\n
Reaffirming solidarity with Palestine, the Jamiat condemned Israel\u2019s genocidal assault on Gaza and called for the creation of a sovereign Palestinian state based on pre-1967 borders with Jerusalem as its capital. The committee also expressed concern over India\u2019s voter verification drives that could disenfranchise poor and marginalized citizens, and paid tribute to Hafiz Peer Shabbir Ahmad and other late scholars of the organization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
