Mumbai Police kicked up a controversy following its circular which says the women’s wing of an Islamic organisation is “brainwashing and training girls for jihad”.

The outfit has threatened legal action if no apology is tendered by the police.

The “internal circular” said the Girls Islamic Organisation (GIO) of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, one of the country’s largest Islamic organisations that runs 40 high schools and three junior colleges in Maharashtra, has been operating with the objective of “brainwashing college and school girls and train them for jihad”.

“The group GIO is related to Jamaat-e-Islami Hind and it was established in Kerala. The purported aim of this organisation is to make more and more Muslim women aware of their religion and the holy Quran. But the real objective of this organisation is to brainwash school and college girls and train them for jihad,” the circular, issued last month, says.

The document, meant for internal circulation, got leaked and has invited the wrath of Jamaat with its Maharashtra spokesman Mohammad Aslam Ghazi threatening to sue the police department if it does not apologise.

Ghazi alleged it was a deliberate attempt to tarnish the image of the socio-religious organisation.

“The circular was leaked with vicious intentions. The allegations against GIO are false and baseless,” he said.

“The Mumbai police either has to prove the allegations or apologise for the error. Otherwise, we would sue them for defamation,” said Ghazi, adding their organisation worked for “peace, justice and to fight against prejudice of the state machinery”.

Mumbai police spokesman Satyanarayana Choudhary said “the circular was meant to be only for the department and not for public.”

Earlier, Mumbai police had got embroiled in a row over a poem by a traffic police inspector Sujata Patil published in an issue of the force’s in-house journal ‘Samwad’ where she had described last year’s Azad Maidan protesters as “snakes” and “traitors” whose hands should have been “chopped off”.

Amid threat of legal action and mounting anger of Mulim organisations, Patil had apologised in writing. The apology was published in the next issue of ‘Samwad’. PTI VM SK PAL 04011833

    They dread muslim women with hijab more than muslim men. They know very well that muslim ummah is awakening. They dont have courage to face the truth and so resorting to the age old tactics of misinformation campaign and rumour mongering. Jih should take strict action at the highest level and nip in the bud the mischief of communal police of mumbai.

    AlHamdulillah the malign circular is leaked. This is the beginning and must have agenda to arrest a few GIO members and put thousands of pages false charge-sheet and drag in litigation unnecessarily. JIH must take appropriate legal action to stop this malign plan.

    Anti Muslim elements have been always busy in creating trouble for the Muslim Ummah all the time. They should be given left and right on the spot. Otherwise these evils will never stop.

    The circular clearly equates Islamic teaching with the meaning of Jihad, as being propagated by the Jewish Zionists, in their relentless propaganda against Islam. The circular could be a direct feed from the Israeli security experts working with Indian security agencies, masquarading as fighting terrorism, but in fact picking up on Muslims and Islam around the world. Indian administration should rise up to such nefarious ingress into our internal affairs by foreign ‘expert’ who hold their own world-view and are bent to destablised India, to make the nation subservient to their machinations.

    Looks like the Police along with other government machinery are working on a prepared Agenda of targeting the innocent well placed Muslims to terrorize them and the community as a whole. One good thing about all these targeted attacks is that the public come to know about their false claims in the end. Shouldn’t justice win in the end?

    The point to ponder is that after all these 60, 70 years of our existense as a tahreek there is still misconception about Jihad. Moulana Moududi wrote about it some 60 years back. The need of the hour is to educate the masses about the true perspective of Jihad, significance and importance of Jihad. Those who are at the Police department need to be trained and educated in this regard.
