Council of Indian Muslims (UK)

Council of Indian Muslims—UK (CIM) has strongly condemned the imposition of the so called Jazya on Sikh community and demolition of their houses in Pakistan's Aurakzai tribal region as “un-Islamic and shameful”.

A press statement issued by the CIM quotes its religious affairs advisor and London based renowned religious scholar Maulana Atiqur-Rehman Sambhali as saying, “Such an action is highly deplorable, unacceptable and un-Islamic. “

British Indian Muslims have urged the British Government to declare the Chief Minister of Gujarat Mr Narendra Modi persona non grata and refuse him visa to enter into Britain.

Modi, who had allowed and supported the ethnic cleansing of Muslims in the state as its Chief Minister in 2002, has reportedly accepted an invitation to address “India Summit 2009” being organised by Dow Jones Financial News in London in May 2009.

British Indian Muslims have urged the Indian government to hand over the Babri Mosque site to Muslims and let them rebuild the mosque there.

Marking the 17th anniversary of the demolition of Babri Mosque on 6 December 1992 in Ayodhya, the Chairman of Council of Indian Muslims—UK (CIM) Mr Mohammad Munaf Zeena said, “The demolition of Babri Mosque and Gujarat massacre are two of the most brazen crimes committed against Indian Muslims and the tragedy is that the perpetrators of these crimes are still roaming free.

British Indian Muslims have condemned terrorist attacks in Bombay. "We are shocked and saddened at the tragic deaths of innocent people killed in these barbaric attacks and strongly condemn these acts of savagery. Our thoughts go to the families of the deceased and pray for quick recovery of the injured." Chairman of Council of Indian Muslims—CIM (UK) Mohammad Munaf Zeena has said in a statement issued today.

Council of Indian Muslims—UK (CIM) has welcomed the news of the arrest of three Hindu terrorists involved in two bomb blasts in Malegaon in the south western Indian state of Maharashtra last September in which five persons were killed.

Council of Indian Muslims—UK (CIM) has congratulated Indian scientists for their first and successful moon mission launched yesterday. “We are proud of our scientists and pray that we continue to hear such positive news from all walks of life from India more often. In the present depressing political environment this news has provided every Indian and every person of Indian origin in the world an opportunity to raise his head with pride.” CIM’s chairman Mohammad Munaf Zeena said in a statement issued today.

Demanding an inquiry in the ongoing bomb blasts in Delhi and encounters with alleged terrorists, the Chairman of Council of Indian Muslims—UK (CIM), Mohammad Munaf Zeena has asked “With all the ‘masterminds’ in the custody of Indian police and two others killed in police encounter, who has now carried out yesterday’s blasts in Delhi?”

“The over ambitious security forces and BJP jingoists should not be unaware of the dangerous game they are playing by maligning the Muslims and taking advantage of the situation.” Zeena said.

Council of Indian Muslims—UK (CIM) has urged the Indian government to launch independent inquiry into the dastardly series of bomb blasts in Delhi in which 20 people have died and many more are injured.

Council of Indian Muslims—UK (CIM) has strongly condemned anti-Christian violence and ongoing harassment of Christian community in the South Indian state of Orissa.

“Attacking and harassing religious minorities under trumped up pretexts are the sole motto of fascist Hindu organisations and the central and state governments appear to be helpless before them. To add insult to injury instead of taking any action against the perpetrators, Education Ministry of Orissa has issued show cause notices to Christian schools that were closed in protest against attacks on Christians.

British Indian Muslims have strongly condemned the inhuman series of blasts in Indian cities of Ahmadabad and Bangalore. “No one with the slightest human feelings will ever stoop so low to take innocent lives like this. The perpetrators are worse than animals, devoid of conscience and human values.” Chairman of Council of Indian Muslims—UK (CIM), Munaf Zeena said in a statement issued today.
