New Delhi, Oct 7: Anguished by the victimization of Muslims by the security agencies during investigations into the serial blasts in various Indian cities, renowned Islamic scholars and religious leaders will meet here on October 14 to draw up an action plan to fight the vilification campaign against minorities.
The initiative to bring the leaders under one banner to end alienation of Muslims was taken by the Shahi Imam of Jamia Masjid, Maulana Syed Ahmed Bukhari, who had urged them to take serious note of anti-Muslim campaign and fight it out.
Hurriyat Conference (M) chairman, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, has been also invited to participate in the meeting to express his views on problems of Muslims and economic blockade of Kashmir by extremists during the Amarnath land agitation in Jammu.
Over 150 Muslims religious leaders and scholars, besides heads of madrassas have confirmed their participation in the meet, where fake encounters, bomb blasts in Kanpur, Malagoan, Nanded and anti-Muslim violence in Assam and Maharashtra will come up for extensive discussion.
Maulana Rabi Nadvi, president of the Muslim Personal Law Board, Maulana Arshad Madni, president of the Jamiat-e-Ulema Hind, Maulana Salim Qasimi, Rector of Darul Uloom Deoband, Maulana Baduruddin Ajmal, leader of Muslim United Democratic Front of Assam, Maulana Asghar Imam Mehdi Salfi of Jamiat Ahele Hadith, Maulana Fuzalur Rehman of Markazi Jamiat Ulema Hind, Maulana Tauqeer Reza Khan, chief of the Barellevi sect, Maulana Muhammad Iqbal, Rector of Jamia Warsia Lucknow, Maulana Mehmood Daraibadi, Ulema Council Mumbai, and Maulana Nizamuddin, Amarat Sharia Bihar are some prominent persons to participate in the meet.
The hate campaign of Sangh parivar against Muslims will be debated by the leaders, who are unhappy with the role of Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh and his Home Minister Shivraj Patil in dealing with the communal groups.
Maulana Syed Ahmed Bukhari had met Prime Minister last month to take up the case of Abu Bashar, a resident of Azamgarh who police claims is the the mastermind of Ahmedabad blasts. It was after the Delhi encounter that the Imam got in touch with Muslim leaders to seek their support for galvanizing support against selective approach of the government, which targets only Muslims and ignores acts of arson, killing and loot by the likes of Bajrang Dal.
