The meeting entitled “The threat of communalism to Indian society and polity” was attended by officials of FDCA and other eminent personalities. They held a thorough discussion on the topic. The meeting unanimously accepted participants’ proposal for a long-term plan to combat the threat of communalism. It was also agreed that a delegation of FDCA would visit the places where communal harmony is disturbed or communal riots have happened like in Muzaffarnagar. A detailed report of the visit would be presented to the government and other institutions so that the government and administration could be pressed for redressal of the grievances of the victims and to ensure their rights and punishment to culprits.

Throwing light on the activities of FDCA, Mohammad Salim Engineer, National General Secretary of FDCA, said sincere efforts are being made to revive and strengthen the forum in the entire country. Maharashtra chapter of FDCA very recently organized a big program in Mumbai which was attended by eminent experts of human rights and social activists. Mr. Salim further said that a central team of FDCA would soon visit different parts of the country and make people aware of the threat of communalism. The team will also appeal to the masses to work together to promote communal harmony and peace in the country so that communal elements do not succeed in their sinister plans.

Eminent personalities who took part in the discussion included Muchkund Dubey, President, FDCA, Justice Rajendra Sachar, veteran journalist Kuldeep Nayar, Secretary General of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind Nusrat Ali, Journalist Santosh Bharatiya, Dr Javed Jamil, Prof. Bhim Singh, Fr.

    The initiative of FDCA is very great. These efforts are like a slap on the shameless face of so called muslim MLAs, MPs & other leaders. Insha Allah the Almighty will help them.
    Please go ahead with your activities & we are all with you.
