Outcast those who indulged in Friday's violence from Islam: MRM

 

 

New Delhi, Jun 15: Condemning the incidents of arson, violence and stone-pelting indulged in by the angry mobs of Muslims in parts of the country on Friday June, 9, 2022 after the namaj, the Muslim Rashtriya Manch (MRM), a prominent national Muslim organization, has demended expulsion of all those Muslims who were involved in that mindless violence. Such incdents of stone pelting, arson and rioting didnot only bring disrepute to Islam but also ashemed the Muslim community, the MRM said.

 

In a statement issued here on Sunday, the MRM called the incidents of violence “a conspiracy” to create unrest in India and malign the country's image abroad, and urged the Muslims to stay calm and do not get misled by anyone.

 

The Muslim Rashtriya Manch demanded that all the state governments take swift action against such rioters to maintain law and order as well as peace, and asked the opposition political parties including TMC, AAP, Samajwadi Party, Shiv Sena, and Congress to take action against their leaders “who indulge in insulting Hindu deities and religion.”

 

In wake of the the incidents of violence, an emergency online meeting of the all key office bearers of MRM was held on Saturday. The meeting, presided over by national convenor Mohammad Afzal, strongly condemned the incidents of stone pelting, arson and rioting that took place in different parts of the country on Friday, the MRM said.

 

The meeting noted that the incidents of Friday violence did not not only bring disrepect and disrepute to Islam, but ashamed the Muslims, the outfit said.

 

It also noted that Islam is recognized as a peaceful religion, but the Friday’s incidents of stone-pelting and rioting in different parts of the country indicates that it has gone into the clutches of “Satan”, the outfit added.

 

“The MRM demands that all those who indulged in stone pelting, arson violence on Friday and made hate speeches be outcast from Islam. It is Manch’s appeal to all Ulema and Maulvis to consider this demand,” the MRM release said.

 

“The MRM demands that the TMC, AAP, Samajwadi Party, Shiv Sena, Congress and other parties also take strict action against their leaders who indulge in insulting blasphemy against Hindu deities and religion as well as incite violence,” it added.

 

The outfit alleged that the Friday violence was part of “a conspiracy to create unrest in India and malign its image abroad in the name of protest against certain remarks made by two BJP functionaries against Prophet Mohammad.

 

Noting that the BJP has already taken action against its functionaries for their remarks, and those leaders had tendered an apology on their own, the outfit appealed to the Muslim community to “remain calm and do not get misled by anyone.”

 

“The MRM requests the Muslim society to understand that violence and hatred are not the solution to any problem. Violence only leads to destruction. Prophet Mohammad Saheb has also given the message of patience and love,” it said.

 

Underlining that the Constitution of the country does not allow anyone take the law into one’s hands, the MRM demanded that the state governments take “swift and stringent action against those who indulged in violence to maintain law and order as well as peace.”
