While the JUH patronises Deobandi school of thought, the JAHH is flag bearer of Salafi belief, eulogised by Talibaan in Afghanistan and ISIS in West Asia.
Besides Sri Sri Ravi Shankar’s global event on the banks of river Yamuna, national capital hosted two other events also on Saturday–a mega conference called by the Jamiat Ulema-i-Hind (JUH), one of the foremost Islamic organisations in India and the international conference of Imams organised by Jamiat Ahl-e-Hadees Hind (JAHH).
While the JUH patronises Deobandi school of thought, the JAHH is flag bearer of Salafi belief, eulogised by Talibaan in Afghanistan and ISIS in West Asia. But at both these conference leaders and scholars distanced themselves from both of them and even described the ISIS a tyrannical and a barbaric force, whose acts only parallel with medieval Mongol warriors Gengiz and Halaku Khan.
At the JUH conference, attended by a battery of political leaders, senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad created a row, by drawing a parallel between ISIS and RSS. He said Muslims oppose both the organisations. "We see among Muslims too, who have become reason of destruction of Muslim countries today... there are some forces behind it... but we need to understand why Muslims are taking part in it, why they are getting trapped. So, we oppose organisations like ISIS, the way we oppose RSS. If those among us, in Islam, too do wrong things, they are no way less than RSS," the Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha said.
During Congress regimes, the JUH has received official patronage, as its leaders had associated themselves with the party during freedom struggle against Mohammad Ali Jinnah’s Muslim League. Off late, now the Modi government has found a new group All India Ulama and Mashaikh Board (AIUMB) to counter the traditional Muslim organisations. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is inaugurating first World Sufi Forum here on March 17, at Vigyan Bhavan, organised by AIUMB, to give boost to their activities.
Congress president Sonia Gandhi in her written message to JUH conference attended by over 50,000 people, criticised the government action against students. She said powers that be are spreading hatred across the country. Especially, secularism is being targeted. It is a matter of concern."In current circumstances, Jamiat has again taken an important step. I pray for this step taken by Jamiat for country's unity and integrity and hope its efforts will bring good results," she said. Significantly, JUH is important component of Maulana Badruddin Ajmal led United Democratic Front (UDF) in Assam, which is going to polls next month. Besides Azad, the conference was attended by Mani Shankar Aiyar, JUH president Syed Arshad Madani, Acharia Pramod Krishnan, Muslim cand Christian, Buddhist and Sikh leaders from various parts of the country.
At another conference in Ramlila Ground, JAHH speakers told Imams who lead prayers in mosques to created awareness against terrorism and foil designs of ISIS, who are luring youth. Maulana Asghar Ali Imam Mahadi Salafi, general secretary of JAHH emphasised that an Imam happens to be the guarantor of order and discipline and peace and security.
Will discuss legal action on the matter: RSS
Nagaur: The RSS on Saturday took strong exception to Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad seeking to draw a parallel between it and ISIS, saying his remark shows the party's intellectual bankruptcy and unwillingness to deal with fundamentalist forces like Islamic State. "Azad comparing ISIS with RSS exhibits the intellectual bankruptcy of Congress and its unwillingness to deal with fundamentalist and cruel forces like ISIS," RSS leader J Nand Kumar told reporters here. He said Akhil Bhartiya Pratinidhi Sabha, the highest decision making body of RSS, will discuss legal action on the matter. "We are altogether here... will discuss and consider legal action," he said.
