Islamic Jamiat On Friday, Hind Chief Mahmood Madani asserted that Islam is the world's oldest religion. Speaking at the organization's 34th General Session on Friday, he added that he and those like him belong to India just as much as Prime Minister Narendra Modi and RSS leader Mohan Bhagwat do.
"India is where we live. Mahmood is as much a part of this nation as Narendra Modi and Mohan Bhagwat are. Mahmood is not even a millimeter ahead of them, and they are not even a millimeter ahead of Mahmood "The Jamiat leader spoke.
The leader of Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind continued by stating that Muslims originated in India. He added that it is unfounded and incorrect to claim that Islam is an immigrant religion. Madani referred to India as the ideal country for Muslim Hindus.
"Muslims' original homeland is this region. It is utterly false and unfounded to say that Islam is a religion that originated from the outside. Among all religions, Islam is the oldest. The finest country for Muslims who speak Hindi is India "He mentioned during the meeting.
Mahmood Madani also expressed worry over the country's allegedly rising Islamophobia and hate speech. On Sunday, the gathering's plenary session will take place.
A prominent Muslim organization, Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind, raised the issue of an alleged rise in Islamophobia during the meeting and called for the enactment of a special law that would explicitly punish individuals who encourage violence against minorities. According to the news agency PTI, the organization passed numerous resolutions, one of which addressed the purported escalation of hate crimes and Islamophobia in the nation.
The Jaimiat claimed that in recent years, "the growth in Islamophobia, aside from acts of hatred and incitement against the Muslim community, has escalated to an alarming level in our country."
The report claimed that although the administration is aware of these developments, it nevertheless chooses to take an ostrich-like stance.
In an effort to uphold integrity and promote a favorable perception of India, the Muslim organization claimed it wanted to draw the attention of the government. Strict action against individuals and the media involved in propagating hatred was one of the measures Jamiat suggested should be done.
