Jamaat Ulama-e-Hind says Nupur Sharma should be forgiven, says Muslim scholars don't support protests

New Delhi, June 13: Jamaat Ulama-e-Hind president Sahaib Qasmi said that former Bharatiya Janta Party leader Nupur Sharma, who passed a controversial statement on Prophet Muhammad, should be forgiven as per Islam.

 

 

While talking to the pivate media house, Qasmi said, "Islam says Nupur Sharma should be forgiven. We disagree with the protest that started across the country after Friday prayers against Nupur Sharma and her Derogatory remarks." He added that the organisation of Muslim scholars disagreed with the nationwide protests in wake of her remarks.

 

Apart from this, Jamaat Ulama-e-Hind also welcomed the decision of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to suspend Sharma. "We are welcoming the decision of the law because India is the law of the land and we are not going to take the law into our hands. The law does not allow to come on the road and break the rule," Qasmi said at the press conference.

 

 

 

Jamaat Ulama-e-Hind has decided to issue a `fatwa` through which it will urge people not to support any kind of violence in connection with Nupur Sharma and her remarks. "The fatwa will come against Asaduddin Owaisi and Mohammad Madani," the Jamaat said.

 

Jamaat Ulama-e-Hind also appealed to the government to investigate several Muslim organizations and their funding and said it will not allow other Muslim organizations to incite violence.
