New Delhi, hailing Rahul Gandhi's maiden speech as leader of the opposition in the Lok Sabha, prominent Muslim organization Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind on Wednesday hoped that other opposition leaders would also raise their voice bravely in Parliament against violence , hatred and injustice. .
Jamiat president Maulana Arshad Madani said his organization supports what Gandhi said about violence and hatred because no religion in the world allows violence and hatred to spread.
"Religion conveys the message of humanity, tolerance, love and unity. Those who use it to spread hatred and violence cannot be true followers of their religion," Madani said.
Sensible people should condemn and oppose such people at all levels, he added.
Stating that "no religion allows violence in any form", Madani said: "What Rahul Gandhi has said has been the position of Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind and its leaders from day one, and they have always said that religion It teaches love, tolerance and unity."
He further said that mob lynchings are a cruel form of violence.
"We have a set of laws in the form of Constitution, but it is a pity that the vicious cycle of mob lynching does not stop. We have been demanding a strict law to prevent this for a long time," Madani said.
"The Supreme Court has also expressed displeasure over this and given strict instructions to the Center to prevent it. But there has been no serious attempt to stop this violence carried out on the basis of religion," he added.
Recently there were incidents of mob lynching in Odisha and Aligarh in Uttar Pradesh, he said.
"We are happy that Rahul Gandhi, in his first speech in Parliament as leader of the opposition, fearlessly raised his voice against violence and hatred. We hope that after Rahul Gandhi, other opposition leaders also raise their voices without fear in Parliament against violence, hatred and injustice," he said.
Madani said the results of the general elections have shown that people have rejected the politics of sectarianism and hatred.
The country's minorities, Dalits and oppressed sections voted for the INDIA alliance to save the Constitution and democracy, he said.
"So now it is the moral duty of these parties, especially Congress, to protect the Constitution and democracy, as well as fight for the rights of voters," he added.
Madani also said that during the recent parliamentary elections, INDIA bloc leaders, especially Gandhi and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, stood firm on their ideology of secularism, and that is the reason why secular-minded voters They trusted them and openly supported them.
Gandhi launched an all-out attack on the BJP in Lok Sabha on Monday, saying the ruling party leaders are not Hindus and engage in "violence and hatred" round the clock.
His comments sparked massive protests from treasury benches, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi accusing the Congress leader of calling the entire Hindu community violent.
Gandhi, however, responded to Modi, saying that he was talking about the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and that neither the ruling party nor the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) nor Modi represents the entire Hindu society.
