All India Imams Council demands scrapping of Triple Talaq Bill
New Delhi: The All India Imams Council (AIIC), a body of Ulemas, Imams and Islamic scholars held Protest March at Jantar Mantar on Wednesday and made several demands including discarding of Tripal Talaq Bill while also urging the centre to stop interfering in Muslim Personal Law.
A press release issued by the organisation added “The Constitution of India guarantees the right to freedom of religion to all its citizens. Interference in the Personal Law in the disguise of security and freedom of Muslim women is the ill-intention of the government to show the Islam in the bad light and this is nothing but the conspiracy to uproot the religious affairs of the particular community” and demanded that the government should not interfere in personal law of Muslims.
The organisation further took up issues like growing incidents of Mob lynching and Right wing atrocities in the country, Citizenship Amendment Bill and National Educational Policy among others.
“From Akhlaq to Tabreez Ansari viz., Pehlu Khan, Mazloom Ansari, Afrazullah, Rohit Vemola, Dhabolkar, Pansare, Gouri Lankesh to Hafiz Junaid, Asifa more than 100 cases of mob lynching were seen in the country, but none of the culprits has been given a deterrent punishment, which encourages right wing’s criminals. The soft attitude of the government shows that it is the result of collusion between police, administration and doctors. Despite the fact that Supreme Court had sent notice four times to stop mob lynching, the government has not taken any action” the press release noted.
Expressing its dissent over expanding NRC to the whole country to target Muslims, the organisation called for dropping the bill. “The announcement to expand NRC across the country is the result of grave conspiracy. In fact minorities especially Muslims will be the prime target of it and millions of citizens will be deprived of their rights in their own country. The key purpose of the Citizenship Amendment Bill is religious discrimination, which is against the fundamental rights of the Constitution” it said.
The National Education Policy, 2019 has been drafted to fulfill the interests of political and economical spheres. The intention of the proposed reformations is total control of the government on education. Making all religious and private institutions under this NEP will be dangerous. Proposal of electing only half of the members of National Education Commission according to their eligibilities and selecting the remaining members by the parliament shows the ill intention of the government and undemocratic. Imposing Hindi language as the third language on non-Hindi speaking regions will destroy the regional languages and cultures. These reformations undermine public education system and make the private education secur boom. The draft NEP ignores the constitutionally mandated reservation for the disadvantaged sections. Recommendation to restructure higher education modeling on ancient tradition is part of the attempt to saffronize education. Hence, the All India Imams’ Council considers present policy is unconstitutional prepared in haste thus seeks changes in it under the monitor of expert educationists, the press release noted.
