New Delhi: The Executive Committee of Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind has come out with a clear opinion on the current circumstances of the country, according to which the atmosphere of hatred, division and insecurity is dangerous for the future of the country and this committee has also presented a six-point demand letter.
What is the whole matter?
The members of the Executive Committee of Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind have unanimously issued a statement regarding the current circumstances of the country. In this regard, a special meeting of the Executive Committee of Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind was held on June 11, 2026 under the chairmanship of Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind President Hazrat Maulana Mahmood Asad Madani, in which a draft of a resolution regarding the current situation of the country was presented, which was passed after detailed discussion. Later, the said proposal was presented to all the members of the Executive Committee for approval, which was passed unanimously by the members.
Highlighting the serious situation in the country and the tense environment for the minorities, the members of the Executive Committee have clearly and clearly said that today our country stands at a very sensitive juncture. The changes that have taken place in government priorities and social behavior in the last few years are a matter of concern not only for a particular section, but for the entire democratic system. Hate speeches have further polluted the environment. Religious fanaticism, which was once heard on the margins of society, is today becoming a part of national politics and the statements of the ruling establishment. The reality is that hatred has now taken the form of threat-based politics. Under an organized thinking, efforts are being made to change the constitutional nature of this great democratic country, the attitude of the judiciary has also played an important role in giving strength to this.
Minorities are being targeted
The members of the Executive Committee said that we express with extreme disappointment that the honor and dignity of minorities, their religious rituals, mosques, madrassas and cemeteries are being continuously targeted. Under the guise of normal pretexts, action and sabotage against them continues without any stop. These circumstances have given rise to the feeling among a large section of the country that “internal colonialism” is being established in this country, where a sense of pressure, deprivation of rights and constant insecurity is becoming dominant. In any civilized society, matters related to religious places should be dealt with justice, transparency and in accordance with legal requirements.
Executive Committee members said that similarly, recent developments related to voting rights and electoral process are also raising many serious questions. Various actions going on in the name of civic identity and citizenship have created anxiety among millions of citizens. There is a growing perception that the purpose of these efforts is not merely to improve voter lists, but to limit the political representation of certain sections of the society. However, if doubts and distrust begin to arise over the fundamental pillar of democracy, namely the right to vote, its consequences will be far-reaching and dangerous.
Executive Committee members said that what is even more worrying is that the real problems of the country are being left behind. Youth are worried about employment, farmers are facing difficulties, inflation is making life difficult for the common man, while the education and health sectors are facing many challenges. Despite this, the national discourse is repeatedly diverted towards religious controversies and communal debates. The energies of nations should be spent on solving real problems, not on controversies that divide society and divert public attention from core issues.
The members of the Executive Committee said that if today the rights, identity and dignity of one community can be hurt, then tomorrow the same attitude can be adopted with any other community also. Therefore, this problem is not limited to just one community but is an important national issue related to India’s constitutional future, democratic values and rule of law.
“Hatred tears nations apart, nations are strengthened by justice.”
The members of the Executive Committee said that history is witness that nations are not built by hatred, hatred breaks nations. Nations are strengthened by justice, grow by trust and develop by equality. If we do not make collective efforts today to protect justice, equality and constitutional values, future generations will not forgive us. The experience of history shows that when hatred is made a means of political power in societies, its fire eventually engulfs the entire society.
Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind demanded from the Government of India and all State Governments that all actions related to illegal infiltration should be taken with complete transparency, in accordance with legal provisions and judicial principles. The push-back should be done as a serious legal process rather than as a stunt (just for show or publicity). Profiling and discriminatory actions against any citizen on the basis of religion, language, race, dress or regional identity should be stopped immediately. The issue of demographic changes and infiltration should not be used in any way for political or electoral gains and persons holding public office should adopt a responsible and fact-based communication style. Legal action should be taken without any discrimination against elements promoting hatred, social exclusion and communal tension.
A demand letter was also presented by the Executive Committee
- Strict adherence to the guidelines issued by the Supreme Court to prevent violence, lynching, hate attacks, organized harassment and hate speech on the basis of religion, caste, race, language or identity should be ensured.
- In case of communal riots, massacre or mob lynching, the concerned administration should be held accountable. If negligence, irresponsibility or bias is proved, legal action should be taken against the concerned officials and appropriate compensation, legal protection and rehabilitation should be provided to the victims. Along with this, an effective system should be established for speedy disposal of such cases through fast track courts.
- Necessary steps should be taken to ensure effective representation of disadvantaged groups and minorities in education, employment, skills and government institutions, so that all citizens have equal opportunities for development, participation and a life of dignity without any discrimination.
- The protection of religious freedom, places of worship, educational rights of minorities and their religious institutions should be ensured under the Constitution of India. Also, the rights granted by the Constitution should not be restricted or limited under administrative or legal pretexts.
- Transparency, fairness and full compliance with constitutional provisions should be ensured in all processes related to voter list, citizenship and identification. Along with this, the process of forcibly expelling any citizen from the country by declaring him a foreigner without providing him due process of law, effective hearing and opportunity to exercise the available legal rights in matters related to National Voter List (NRC) and foreign nationals should be stopped, as this not only affects the fundamental human rights but also damages the international reputation of the country.
- The Government of India, in line with its historic foreign policy, international law and human rights principles, should support the right to self-determination of the Palestinian people and the uninterrupted supply of humanitarian assistance at all levels and play an effective diplomatic role in this regard. Along with this, the government should also reconsider military, war or defense cooperation and agreements with Israel so that India’s position and approach remains in line with the universal principles of justice, peace and human rights.
