Council of Indian Muslims (UK)

“The destruction of Babri Mosque on 6 December 1992 by BJP led Hindu zealots symbolised the manner in which identities of Indian communities were politically used by the state.” Chairman of Council of Indian Muslims—UK (CIM) Mr Munaf Zeena has said in a statement issued today.

Dear Mr Prime Minister,

We are aghast at the brutal and extra-judicial killing of eight Muslims in Gopalgarh in Bharatpur District of Rajasthan. Even more shocking in these cold blooded murders is the participation of local police whose fascist and blood thirsty soldiers entered the mosque and showered bullets at the worshippers.

British Indian Muslims, calling it wanton terrorism and mindless blood-letting, have strongly condemned the blasts outside Delhi High Court that killed 12 persons and injured many.

“We strongly condemn such cowardly and mindless acts of the desecration of human lives. Our thoughts go with the victims and their relatives.”  Chairman of Council of Indian Muslims—UK (CIM), Mr Munaf Zeena said in a statement issued today.

Council of Indian Muslims—UK (CIM) has strongly condemned serial blasts in Mumbai.

“We condemn these attacks on innocent people by bloodthirsty terror mongering beasts. Our thoughts go to the families of the victims among whom there would be women who would have been widowed, children would have been orphaned and the elderly parents would have lost the only support to them.” CIM’s Chairman Munaf Zeena said in statement issued today.

Governments all over the world use different methods to muzzle freedom of press. The most common way is to bribe media houses by giving them advertisements. Other popular methods practiced to silence the press are: co-opt the media or embed senior journalists. And if all these don’t work then kill them as it happened to Syed Saleem Shahzad in Pakistan and Jyotirmoy Dey in India’s financial capital Mumbai. In India, cases like Dey are rare. Still several state governments have adopted subtle ways to tame the free media. Among them the Nitish Kumar government of Bihar has mastered the art of keeping the local and national media quiet by offering them government largesse.

Dear Mr Chief Minister, 

Council of Indian Muslims—CIM (UK) is aghast at the brutal killing of poor labourers by the Bihar police in  Forbesganj on  02 June 2011. A video footage of this barbarity of Bihar police is now available for anyone to watch.

 We are sure, by now you will have seen the gruesome pictures of the victims of the “brave” police of Bihar that did not even spare a pregnant woman and an infant.

 Mr Chief Minister, this will be hard to believe that by now you have not watched the footage of a “victorious” and jubilant member of your police force swearing at and and jumping on the face and chest of a fallen man hit by bullets and who later succumbed to his injuries in the hospital. In the clip his colleagues may be heard saying, “ho gaya, ho gaya, badla lya ja chukka” (It’s all done. Revenge has been taken) that tells a lot about the mindset of those entrusted with the sacred duty of keeping and maintaining law and order in the state.

Senior IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt has filed an affidavit filed before the Supreme Court that Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi asked police officers to be indifferent to rioters and calls for help from victims during the 2002 communal riots. Two months ago, in February, Tehelka had scooped this statement made before the Special Investigation Team (SIT).

London: 23 March Multiculturalism, love for humanity and tolerance is not a new concept but something that was introduced by Muslim sufis in India centuries ago, said the Indian High Commissioner to the UK Nalin Surie. He was speaking at a dinner hosted in his honour last night jointly by the North London Muslim Community Centre (NLMCC) and North London Muslim Housing Association (NLMHC).

Chairman of Council of Indian Muslims—UK (CIM) has deplored the death and life sentences awarded to 31 convicts of Godhra train burning case as, “most bizarre and ignoble judgement in Indian legal history.”

A special court trying 94 Muslims in the case had earlier acquitted 63 of them and held other 31 guilty; 11 of them were yesterday handed death sentences and 20 life imprisonment.
