Jamaat rejects any out of court settlement of Babri Masjid dispute

Prominent Muslim body Jamaat-e-Islami Hind (JIH) today rejected any possibility of an out of court settlement of the Babri Masjid dispute. Speaking at Jamaat’s monthly press meet today at its New Delhi headquarters, the JIH President Maulana Syed Jalaluddin Umari said that: “On the occasion of the 24th anniversary of Babri Masjid demolition, were solve to continue the peaceful struggle for restoration and reconstruction of the Babri Masjid., in cooperation with the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB), human rights organizations and justice-loving people of all religions. Jamaat rules out any possibility for an out of court settlement towards resolution of the Babri Masjid case. 6th December 1992 was one of the darkest days in the history of India. Unfortunately the perpetrators of the demolition are still walking free and successive governments have not arrested anyone. The Liberhan Commission presented its report in June 2009 after a long period of 17 years but no practical steps were taken thereafter. The case is pending before the Supreme Court and Jamaat is hopeful that the verdict will be in its favor”.

Earlier the Secretary General of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, Muhammad Salim Engineer expressed skepticism over government’s claim to curb the circulation of black money by demonetizing 500 and 1000 rupee currency notes. Salim Engineer said: “we are not convinced by the government’s claim that the demonetization scheme will curb black money. If black money was to be curbed, why introduce the 2000 rupee note. This sudden announcement by the government appears to be an election stunt and has resulted in a lot of inconvenience to millions of poor and middle class citizens who have to queue for hours and days in front of banks and ATMs just to collect their own money.Jamaat-e-Islami Hind demands that the government should come out with a ‘’white paper’’ on the entire details of the demonetization plan and extend all possible measures to reduce the inconvenience caused to ordinary citizens’’.The JIH Secretary General also condemned the Burmese government for the ongoing genocide of Rohingya Muslims and destruction of their lives and properties.He said that: ‘’the ethnic-cleansing of Rohingya Muslims continues unabated even after the much flaunted establishment of a democratic government led by Aung San Suu Kyi. Jamaat expresses its distress and anxiety at the indifference of the United Nations, international human rights organizations and Muslim States at the plight of Rohingya Muslims. JIH demands the Government of Myanmar to stop these repressive measures against Rohingya Muslims forthwith, to provide them with an opportunity to lead a peaceful life with full freedom in their country and to take strong action against the military and the terrorists targeting them.
