IUML VISION 2020

CALLS FOR A VIBRANT GO AHEAD

Contn..on Page No. 4

At the Indian Union MuslimLeague Nat iona l De legates

conference held at Shihab Thangal

Nagar, Bangalore on 15th and 16th

January 2010, a document called

Vision 2020; Design for a vibrant

go Ahead has been presented by

Mr. E. Ahamed , National President

IUML for circulation to the delegates.

That document has been published

as a booklet.

Though one year has passed it is

appropriate to refresh our memory

and the salient points have been

displayed below.

Muslim community in India

is passing through a significant

phase in its history. Two apparently

complimentary trends- intensive

anti-Muslim campaign orchestratedby Sangh Parivar and emergence of

extremism within the community-

have been simultaneously at work.

But the situation is not very dim as

a section in our community paints.

One cant be very pessimistic while

seeing a discernable makeover in

the community. This shift is very

apparent in the eld of political

participation. Alienation and growing

extremism cannot overshadow

the real advancements that the

community made in relation to the

participation in governance.

The Indian Union Musl im

League is the real champion of

this transformation. A closer look

at the history of our party would

reveal how Muslim League has

been instrumental in this process

of change. Indian Union Muslim

League since its inception itself

represented a remarkable chapter

in the history of Indian Muslims who

were caught up in the traumatised

experience of partition.

Honble Existence

Formation of Indian UnionMuslim League offered material for

re-orientation of our identity along

a nationalistic line. Emphasising

more on the slogan honourable

existence, Quaid-e-Millat IsmailSaheb, inculcated the need of

creating a cohesive Indian Muslimidentity. Pious leadership of Seyd Abdul Rahiman Bafakhi Thangaland Pankkad Seyd PukkoyaThangal elevated this identity togreater spiritual heights. With theirahead of time visions, our greatleaders like K.M. Seethi Saheb andC.H.Mohamed Koya Saheb couldpreside over the destinations ofmillions of Indian Muslims. SeethiSahebs accession to Speakership inKerala legislative assembly and C.H.Mohamed Koya Sahebs attainmentof Chief Ministership represent twomajor landmarks in the history ofIndian Muslims empowerment.Immaculate presence of latePanakkad Seyd Mohamedali ShihabThangal in the League leadershipgave our party a strong and enviable moral fabric. Finally, a birth incentral ministry (a long cherisheddream) through E. Ahmed Sahebcharacterizes a distinctive phase inIndian Muslim League history. Thisevent itself marks the journey of a

party from the state and experienceof untouchability to the state ofpartner in power.

Muslim League is a party witha distinctive sense and character.

Through the proper utilization ofpolitical power for the upliftment

of community, League has attained

the status of a much sought-after

brand in global Muslim politics. In

the age of growing disempowerment

and estrangement of Muslim

community all over the world,

this Muslim League model stands

apart with high stake in political

participation. Similarly, League is

the only Muslim organization that

maintains consistent presence in

the Indian Parliament all along

its history. Since independence,many organizations have come

with tall claims to represent the

Indian Muslim politics but most of

them vanished failing to withstand

the test of time. It does not mean

that the way we travelled was with

full of roses. We have struggled

a lot to make a brighter past and

present. Taking cue from past and

present, there is the need to attune

a stunning future. But, the political

strategies of old mould, for sure,would not serve this purpose. This

document, therefore, suggests a set

of guidelines for the reorientationour party making sensitive to the

present issues.

2THE TIMES OF LEAGUE

Let us Inaugurate

A New Era for Harmony of Hearts!

he Times of League appears from this month of January, 2011 as

a new shining star in the journalistic rmament of India.

This journal dedicates itself to disseminate the ideology of Indian Union

Muslim League in our Country. Thanks to the efforts persistently made

by Honble E. Ahamed the National President of Indian Union Muslim

League, this socio - political organization has become a household name

in this great nation. This publication commences the work of carrying

the message of IUML to every nook and corner of our motherland.

The All India Delegates Conference of IUML which was held on 16th

january 2010 at Bangaluru deeply deliberated upon the future plan,

programme and course of action of the party; nalized the historic

document of IUML -Vision 2010 and released it as the Bangaluru

Declaration. Subsequently, the Constitution of IUML was revised;

new amendments were included and the completed Constitution was

printed and distributed to all the State Units of IUML. In the light of the

programmes as mentioned in IUML Vision - 2020 and of the articles of

the revised Constitution of the organization the membership campaign

has been started , Kerela has completed the process and elected its state

ofce bearers; Tamil Nadu is nearing the completion of the organizational

work and other State Units are in the process of completing the work

at the earliest.

Recently on 11th December 2010 IUML TamilNadu State Conferencetook place in Chennai Tambaram. In this historic conference the Honble

Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu Dr. Kalaignar Karunanidhi was conferred

with the Communal Harmony Award : Naanilam Portrum Nallinakka

Naayagar. The morning session was assigned entirely for discussing

the issues, problems and challenges the Tamil Nadu Mahalla Jamaat

organizations were made to confront day to day. It was indeed a

very great success in the annals of IUML in Tamil Nadu. The Mahalla

Jamaat solidarity seminar has provoked a new awakening in the Muslim

Community that their bounden duty should be for ever to strengthen the

Mosque based Mahalla Jamaats for their future well being and prosperity

in this country.

The place of IUML in Indian parliamentary democracy is not only

unique but also different from other political parties. IUML as the socio political organization of the Muslim minority in India functions not

with the motive of occupying the seat of power in the centre or in the

states. IUML sends its representatives to the Parliament and the State

Assemblies not with the intention to rule the country; but to represent in

the proper corridors of power the real interests and genuine aspirations

of the minorities, especially the Muslim Community of our country . In

this context let us quote from the founding fathers of IUML. The rst

council meeting of IUML that met on Wednesday the 10th March, 1948

in the then Banquet Hall, presently known as Rajaji Hall in the capital

city of Chennai passed the resolution as follows:

Whereas in view of the attainment of independence of the country it

is essential that the policy of the Indian Union Muslim League should be

claried, this meeting of the Council of the Indian Union Muslim Leaguedeclares that it shall be the whole hearted and devoted endeavour of the

Muslim League to bring about perfect harmony and goodwill and mutual

understanding among the various sections of the people of the country,

ensuring the swiftest possible progress of the people towards prosperity

and happiness. This meeting calls upon all Muslims to co-operate in every

possible way with other organizations and parties in the matter of the

establishment of peace and harmony between the various communities.

This meeting further resolves that the Muslim League shall now devote its

attention principally to the promotion of the religious, cultural, educational

and economic interests of the Muslims of the Union.

This journal which is preferred to be known as A Harmony of Hearts

Monthly shall unfalteringly continue to be the guardian of national unity,

the champion of communal amity and the harbinger of the minorities

honourable existence with their cultural identities and shall strive for

adherence of the Rule of Law that paves the way for Social Justice and

Dignied Democracy .Let us unitedly inaugurate a new era for the Meeting of Minds and

the Harmony of Hearts of the friendly people of our beloved Country.

A MAMMOTH GATHERING

Honble E. Ahamed Presents IUML Vision 2020 to

Honble Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu

JANUARY - 2011


Political:

Enhancement of

Participation in Governance

As we are fully aware, the low

participation of Muslims in nearly

all political spaces has an adverse

impact on Indian democracy andpolity. In a democratic society like

India, a reasonable representation of

various communities in governance

is necessary to enhance participatory

governance. The proper political

participation provides a necessary

inuence and opportunity to change

or at least to inuence events which

enable our meaningful participation

in the political process. The current

statistics show that the country

is far from attaining such a goal.

Enhancement of participation at

various levels is the sole remedy tosuch a situation.

The priorities should be given

to address new challenges and to

work out programme strategies to

attract the youth and new social

groups. A thorough re-thinking of

old social base, accommodation

of new social groups, formation

of various groups for specialized

professional groups including IT

professionals and new labour force

are the related priorities.

Regular Orientation programmes

are needed for the ordinary workersto educate the developments

in different fields; national and

international politics, economic

change, media and new means

of communication, human rights,

environmental protection and

women empowerment and so on.

Social:

Commitment for the

creation of pluralist society

For multicultural and multiethnic

nation like India religious pluralism

is an essential requisite for the

survival of its society. Our religionhas given prime importance to

pluralism and religious tolerance.

Intolerance towards others can

never be dened in the spirit of

Quaran as the Holy Book stands

for amazingly broader range

of tolerance and peaceful co-

existence. Clash of civilizations

sounds thus sounds quite foreign

to our ideology. In its history, Islam

has always spoken for the dialogue

of civilizations and cultures.

Economic:

Need for micro-leveleconomic interventions

Musl ims are the worst-hit

community under the new economic

regime. Studies have shown that

the community, many of which are

artisans, odd jobbers and petty

traders are witnessing a rapid

decline in their living conditions in

the face of the current economic

reconguration. On the other side,

there is a newfound economic

mobility among Muslims mainly due

to the remittance from the Gulf. We

have a time-tested system of zakat

with a view to lessen the effects of

economic imparities. And there is

a considerable section of faithful

Muslim population keeping aloof

from the bank interest.

Given this, what is required is

a collective effort to channelize

the excess wealth that rich people

in our community possess in a

constructive way. Introduction of

microcredit system strictly adhered

to Islamic nancial rules is the most

appropriate solution which seems

to have a high potential to bridge

the gap between the poor and the

rich in our community.

Other avenues in which we

can engage the rich people in the

community (especially high-prole

NRI businessmen) are to chart

out localized poverty alleviation

strategies, set up an Islamic nancial

banking and support initiatives for

self-employed youth. Setting up

Islamic nancial institution with the

back up of our front organization,

KMCC would be an appropriate step

in this context. Encouragement

should also be given to support

individual/family based business

and enterprising activities across

rural and urban spaces.

4. National level think tank

For last two decades, Muslim

League has felt the need of platform

for a meaningful dialogue bringing

together scholars, professionals and

intellectuals in the community. But

what we need more appropriately

is a group of organic intellectuals

to speak up for our rights and

to make heard the previouslyexcluded voices of Indian Muslims.

Our brothers in distress (especially

Dalits) have succeeded in creating

such an organic intelligentsia.

Our party has a plan to initiate

a dialogue and float a platform

for organic intellectuals to come

out and express themselves. The

ideal proposition for this is to

create a national level think-tank

incorporating scholars from different

fields including theology. The

proposed think-tank is expected

to have a role in policy making.

The activities would also involve

regular interactions with ulemas of

different streams. The Party would

get benet out of such dialogues

and brainstorming sessions.

Research Centre and

Data Bank

A research centre with state-

of the art facilities and properly

updated data bank on various socio-

economic indices of the communityl ike educat ion, employment,

poverty, and standards of living is

also proposed. Research in the elds

like community history, migration

studies, maritime studies, electoral

studies can also be promoted under

the activities of this centre.

Archives and Audio-Visual

Documentation Centre

It is a painful reality that Muslim

League so far has no centralized

integrated documentation activities.

Materials on our party history are

totally scattered or under individualpossession. A national level archives

for the preservation of rare material

with audio-visual documentation

unit seems to provide a real solution

to this problem.

Media Cell and Core

media group

Muslim League feels the need

of launching a media cell and a

media lobbying group in order to

counter the negative stereotyping

and vilication of Muslims in the

media. This will be an appropriate

move to make the media debates

in favour of the community or at

least to lessen the damages caused

by such debates. Formation of a

core media group with journalists

showing inclination to the League

ideology and habitual lobbying

among the media persons can also

be included in the activities of the

media cell.

Human Rights Educationand Legal Aid Cell

An awareness campaign is to

be initiated to make our workers

acquainted of const itut ional

provisions l ike human rights

commission. The Muslim League

is giving a thought to have a

genuine mechanism to get national

and international audience for

violation of Muslims human rights.

Formation of a legal aid cell under

the party to provide legal assistance

to needy people in the community

is in the pipeline.Empowerment of Women

Enhancement of the role of

women in the party and government

is, obviously, our long-committed

agenda. In view of the impending

constitutional changes providing

special reservation for the women in

the Parliament and State Legislative

Assembly seats, Muslim League also

cannot keep aloof from it. Women

empowerment and realization of

their rights, however, come solely

through education. Effort to make

them self-dependent seems to bethe other means of empowerment.

Self-help groups to address local

and proximate income generating

issues could be made a part of such

a holistic approach.

Appropriation of

Technological Innovations

Science and technology are

not esoteric spheres of thought

and activity but should be rooted

in people s knowledge and

understanding and addressed to

their needs. For several centuries

in history, Muslims were theharbingers of many technological

inventions. But there is a widely-

held misconception at present,

often being circulated by the anti-

Muslim forces that the community

and its doctrinal orientation are not

compatible with new technology.

This is not true by all means.

Historically, we have constantly been

on the forefront in appropriating

the technological innovations.

And what we witness at present is

the increased engagement of the

community with new technology.This trend is very apparent in

places like Kerala, Karnataka and

Maharashtra.

Muslims engagement with new

IUML 2020 Vision....

Contn.. from Page No. 1

JANUARY - 2011

technology is a significant and

interesting phenomenon as it has

collectively brought many changes

in pattern of life. Many of the Muslim

organizations in Kerala have taken

the advantage of IT to have wide

reach for their ideologies among

larger section of population. The

proliferation of Islamic webistes,

blogs, you tube clippings, socialnetworking sites and other related

sites for expressions of beliefs and

articulation also have increased

tremendously. Muslim League

workers in this context should make

use of new technologies and global

means of communication for the

propagation of our ideology. We

should not spare any attempt to

reach out to such professionals or

utilize them for communitys benet.

The utilization of technologies also

involves dissemination of new

technologies for needy people in oursociety. Efforts have to be there to

make our community well-equipped

in terms of acquaintance with the

global means of communication.

Environmental Protection

Environmental degradation

and consequent climate change

is a major matter of concern

which attracted so much of global

attention in the event of global

summit on climate change. But

Muslim community, as a whole, pays

little attention to the frenzied global

debates on environmental issuesand its wide-range repercussions.

The Party has sensed the urgency

and need to address such sensitive

issues with a due concern they

deserve.

Civil Society Organizations

and NGOs

In order to be sensitive to

many previously unheard issues,

there is the need to initiate the

process of establishing single-issue-

oriented NGOs under the patronage

of the Party. Such civil society

organizations eventually wouldstrengthen the Party as they play an

important role inrecognizing real

issues of the people. Civil society

organizations also will help us in

institutional development.

Primacy on Education and

skill development

As we know, Muslims League

leaders were instrumental in

establishing many prestigious

educational institutions all across

Kerala. But we have witnessed a

slow down trend with collective

efforts giving way to individual one

in establishing new educational

institutions. The party workers

should be on the front-run in setting

up educational institutions in the

locality. So, instead of running new

institutions in individual capacity,

the League members should make

such an occasion a point to ensure

the involvement of local League

units. Financial assistance to the

needy students through various

Merit Scholarship Programmes

should also be made a mandatoryactivity for each local unit.

The Party members should focus

on skill development and capacity

building amongst the poor at the

grass roots. Some of the core

ideas could be: provide inputs into

community organizations to support

skills up-gradation and enable the

setting up of a Panchayat Resource

Centre for training.

Guidelines for Strengthening

Organization

The rst and foremost task ofeach IUML worker is to have a

well organized unit of the party

at primary (ward or division),

municipality, panchayat, taluk and

district level. In order to run the

party machinery effectively, we

must strengthen the organizational

set up and broaden the party work

in accordance with the policies

of the party. For a concerted and

coordinated move at the national

level, there is the need of a uniform

policy throughout India with regard

to party structure, political alliancesand grass-root level organization.

After strengthening organi

zat ional set up, every state

committee should review the

organizational apparatus at state

and district level within one year

from today and organize front

organizations namely; youth,

students, women and trade union.

The rst priority should be given to

strengthen the base of the parent

body, the IUML and the formation

of frontal organizations should be

completed in accordance with thefollowing guidelines.

1. The youth who endorse the

ideology and policies of the Muslim

league should be organized under

the banner of Muslim Youth League.

The Youth wing of the Party should

focus its attention to implement

all programmes of the party in

the areas of politics, education

and culture. Poverty alleviation

of the community and relief work

and welfare programmes for the

benet of the economically and

educationally backward sections of

the community. The Youth League

should also focus their attention

to stall anti-muslim campaign let

loose by the fascist elements and

extreme activities of the members

of the community which create ill-

will and disharmony between the

Muslims and other communities.

The nefarious design of these

overzealous people who endeavor

to tarnish the image of Islam and

Holy Quran should also be resisted

through the established means anddemocratic process.

2. The State committees should

strive hard to organize Muslim

Students Federation in Madrassas,

Upper Primary and High schools,

Colleges and other educational

institutions wherever there are

suff ic ient number of Musl im

students. The rst and foremost

duty of MSF is to propagate the

basic ideals which IUML stands

for and to motivate the members

of the community to prosper

against the odds. They must try

to inculcate fundamentals of Islam

and understand the changing world

around them. Maintain their identity

and promote unity among the

Muslim students. Being disciplined,

obedient and dynamic in learning

modern science and technology,

history, culture, they must widen

the horizon of knowledge. They

must also try themselves to be a role

model to the future generation to

understand and promote cohesion,

unity and also to make them t

enough to live in plural societyholding own identify and faith.

The state committee and district

level committees should extend all

help and encourage them to realize

their success in their states and

wherever they need help including

nance to pursue their studies.

3. Womens Organis ation:

Womens polit ical and social

empowerment has gained much

of attention in the current political

debate. In view of the impending

constitutional changes providing

special reservation for the women inthe Parliament and State Legislative

Assembly seats, Muslim League

also cannot keep aloof from it. So

it is the need of the hour to have

an active Womens wing of the

party. Simultaneous to realizing

their prime duty-building up a

happy family based on the values

according to Islamic instructions,

duties as daughter, mother, wife,

every Muslim woman should also

understand political changes taking

place in our country. Our sisters

should also be convinced of theimportant role they have to play in

building up the community and the

nation as well. Their participation in

the governance of the country has

become very vital though active

politics may not be possible for every

woman. They can always support

and cooperate with achieving

participatory representation in

the democratic institutions like

Panchayati Raj, Legislative Assembly

and Parliament, for the welfare of

the community. They are really

a very vital force in deciding the

electoral outcomes. The State Party

leadership should take cautious and

correct steps in organizing Womens

League units at state and district

and if possible at local level.

4. Trade Union activities are

warranted widely in the country

there is an imperative need for the

Party to have labour unions at the

national and the state level. Kerala

State where all the different front

organizations of the party are very

much strong, should be a role modelfor other States to organize trade

unions along the line of Swatantra

Thozhilali Union.

It is the responsibility of the

National and State leadership to

provide proper guidelines for up-

to-the mark functioning of front

organization. There should be a

consistent effort from the side of

IUML at each level to monitor the

activities and programmes of the

front organizations. IUML is all

set to organize a special national

meet within six months in order tooat Muslim Youth League, Muslim

Students Federation, Womens

league and Trade Union at the

national level.

ALWAYS IN SUPPORT OF THE GOOD GOVERNANCE

HEADED BY DR.KALAIGNAR

The D.M.K Government headed by Dr.Kalaignar is working towards

promoting the life standard and basic needs of the people from all walks

of life.

The welfare schemes like life saving Kalaignar Health Insurance Scheme,

Kalaignar Housing Scheme and the 108 Ambulance Scheme have become

the pioneer schemes to the whole of India.

This Conference requests the people to support this Government

and also afrms its relentless support to the continuance of the same

Government.

INCREASE THE RESERVATION TO MUSLIMS

It has been a long pending demand for reservation to Muslims who are

backward not only in Education and Employment but also Economically

weak.

In 1971 when the D.M.K. was in power 49% reservation was given

to the Backward and Schedule Caste people. This was subsequentlyincreased by D.M.K Government to 69% and the Muslims were included

in the Backward List.

On 15.09.2007 Dr.Kalaignar provided 3.5% reservation to the Muslims

out of 30% reserved for the Backward Class, to which we are always

thankful.

Since the Muslim community is in a most backward status it is imperative

to increase the reservation.

Hence it is resolved to request Muthamizh Aringnar Dr.Kalaignar to

increase the reservation to Muslims in Education and Employment from

3.5% to 5%.

SEEKING TO IMPLEMENT THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF

JUSTICE.RANGANATH MISRA

It is resolved to insist the Central Government to provide 10%

reservation to Muslims in Education and Employment by implementingthe recommendations of Justice.Ranganath Misra.

This conference thanks D.M.K Party, the custodian of Minorities, headed

by Dr.Kalaignar, for supporting implementation of the recommendations

of Justice.Ranganath Misra by raising the issue in their General Body,

Executive Committee and the Election Manifesto.

DUE PROTECTION TO URDU LANGUAGE IN UNIFORM

PATTERN OF EDUCATION

The implementation of Uniform Pattern of Education is welcomed by

every one. The Muslims who have Urdu as mother tongue also are very

eager in learning Tamil as a compulsory subject.

At the same time various Urdu Institutions and OMIEAT have also

represented the Government to ensure their mother tongue Urdu to be

a compulsory subject.

This conference requests Dr.Kalaignar to take appropriate measures tomeet the demands of the people having Urdu as their mother tongue.

SET UP A BRANCH OF ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY

IN TAMIL NADU

The Central Government has decided to set up branches of the world

famous Aligarh Muslim University in West Bengal and Kerala.

The Bihar Government is taking steps to set up a branch in Bihar

State.

So, this conference requests Dr.Kalaignar to initiate steps to set up a

branch of the same in Tamil Nadu and also provide needed lands to it.

NATIONALISE THE WRITTINGS OF MUSLIM LITERATES

This conference requests Dr.Kalaignar to accumulate the literatures of

various Muslim poets, writers and religious leaders who have worked for

the development of Tamil and Nationalise the best among them.

GRANT AID FOR THE SELF FINANCED MINORITY

EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS

From the year 1991 there are totally 567 Self Financing Minority Schools

in Tamil Nadu, in which 56 Primary Schools, 84 middle schools, 208 High

Schools and 216 Higher Secondary Schools, run by the Minorities.

In these Schools nearly 1 lakh students are studying and 2,500 Teachers

are working. They are not being paid with the Government salary.It was alleged that the salary comes to a total of Rs.200 crores and

on that basis it was stopped. But it is understood that it is only Rs.70

Crores.

Hence it is requested that the Tamil Nadu Government may pay the

Government salary to the Minority Schools.

PERMISSION FOR THE MOSQUES

The Muslims face so many hurdles in getting the permission from the

District Collector, to renovate the existing Mosques and build new Mosques

in the lands purchased for the same due to new residential settlements

in this fast developing era.

So it is requested to take necessary steps to make the local bodies as

the authorities to give such permission.

NON RESIDENTIAL INDIANS WELFAREThere are so many people from Tamil Nadu working abroad. So, it is

requested to set up a separate Department in the Government to look

after the welfare of the NRIs of Tamil Nadu as it is existing in Kerala and

other States.

HOLY HAJ PILGRIMAGE

This conference conveys its gratitude to the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister

Dr.Kalaignar who has helped more than 5,000 Hajis to undertake their

Holy Pilgrimage this year.

It is requested to help to increase the number of pilgrims in future and

to make necessary arrangements and facilities as available in Chennai to

undertake the pilgrimage from Trichy or Madurai also.

LIBRARY IN QUAID-E-MILLATH MANI MANDAPAM

This Conference conveys its gratitude to Dr.Kalaignar for announcing

that the Public Grievance Cell building being built in Vellore Collectorate

would be named after Ganniyaththukkuriya Quaithe Millath.

Only Dr.Kalaignar has laid foundation stone to build the ManiMandapam

for Quaith-e-Millath in 2001, who has argued in the Constituent Assembly

to make Tamil as National Ofcial Language.

This conference requests the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister to permit the

Muslim League Publications Trust to set up a library and manage the same

in the said Mani Mandapam.

SUBSIDY TO THE MUSLIM WOMEN AID SOCIETIES

This Conference conveys its gratitude to the Tamil Nadu Government

for setting up Muslim Women Aid Societies throughout the State by its

order in G.O.Ms.No.14/2007.

If the fund is mobilized to an extent of Rs.10 Lakhs the Governmentgives the same amount as Subsidy.

The Muslim community being economically backward could not mobilize

this much of amount in every District.

Hence it is requested to increase the subsidy to three fold ( 25% Groups

fund and 75% Government Subsidy) and pay Rs.1 Lakh every year for

the administrative expenses to the Muslim Women Aid Societies.

ALTERNATE SITES TO THE TAMBARAM ROAD SIDE VENDORS

Due to Fly over construction and road extension in Tambaram the road

side vendors are facing eviction. This conference requests the Tamil Nadu

Chief minister Dr.Kalaignar, to set up a Welfare Board for the welfare of

the road side vendors to intervene in this and provide alternate sites to

the affected road side vendors and ensure their honourable living.

RELEASE OF LIFE CONVICTS

This conference requests the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Dr.Kalaignar to

release the life convicts who have completed 10 years of imprisonment

in Tamil Nadu Prisons on compassionate grounds

* Increase the reservation quota * Implement Ranganath Misra Report * Aligarh University in Tamil Nadu * Release of life convicts.

Since 1906, no Muslim politicalparty other than the Muslim League

had any chance of survival on the

turbulent Indian politics. Hundred

years of pre and post independent

India witnessed the rise and fall of

many Muslim political parties. TheMomin conference, the Unionist

Party, the Azad Board, the Shia

Conference, the Nationalist Muslim

Party, Khuda-e-Kidmadgars, the

Khakasar Movement, the Shafi

faction of Muslim league and a host

of others in the pre independent

India were no match to the All

India Muslim league under the

dynamic leadership of Qaid-e-Azam

Mohammed Ali Jinnah. Many such

organizations headed by ulamas

charged that the league leader

was far away from Islam, he was

westernized and such a person was

not competent to lead the Muslim

community. They beat their own

trumpet and asserted that the

ulama alone should assume the

leadership of the community. The

reaction of Muslim community to

this false propaganda was quite

different and their attachment to

the league became much stronger.

The more they attacked the league

leadership, the stronger the scent

the community smelt. The Muslimmass stood as a solid rock behind

the league leader and the result of

its support became history.

After the partition, the question

Indian Union Muslim LeagueSurvival of the Fittest

of revival of Muslim league in India

created a big storm. The burden of

revival fell on the shoulders of Qaid-

e-Millath Mohamed Ismail Sahib.

Lord Mount Batten, the last BritishGovernor General of free India,

invited Mohamed Ismail Sahib to

Madras Raj Bhavan , not for a tea

party, but to convey a message

of terse warning from the Prime

Minister of India, Pandit Jawaharlal

Nehru, to wind up the Muslim league

party. On hearing the warning Qaid-

e-Millath Ismail Sahib remained in

stony silence for a moment and

assured the Governor General

that he would consult with and

convey the decision of the working

committee of the party soon. On

the other side, the chicken hearted

Muslim league leaders tried all the

tricks to prevent the revival of the

party. The business tycoons and

vested interests within the party

played their cards effectively to

prevent the take off. Undaunted by

the brewing political storm Qaid-e-

Millath Mohamed Ismail Sahib took

a momentous decision to continue

the league against heavy odds. The

Indian Union Muslim League came

into existence on March 10, 1948.Frontline Muslim league leaders like

Abdul Hamid Khan, M. A. Salam,

Ansari, Mohamed Hussein, Ahmed

Meeran and Jamaal Mohideen

resigned from the party protesting

against the revival. Most of them

appealed to the Muslims to join

the congress party. The adversaries

expected that the party would

die in its infancy. Belying all their

expectations, the party stood thetest of time. Many new Muslim

parties mushroomed once again

on the Indian political eld. Muslim

Independent party under Mr. Hamid

Khan, All India Muslim league

under M.S Abdul Majid and Muslim

Majlis under Dr. Faridi vanished in

no time.

The Indian Union Musl im

League with the strength of its

noble objectives protection

and preservation of the shariah

law, reservation in education andemployment for Muslims and other

minorities, preservation of separate

identity of minorities earned a place

in the heart, of millions of Muslims

all over India. It has consistently

provided good leadership right

from its inception. By getting

a berth in the central ministry,

Muslim league has attained a long

cherished goal of partnership in the

governance of the nation. The party

under the eminent leadership of

Mr. E. Ahmed, Honorable Minister

of State for Railways has grown

by leaps and bounds. In a recent,

Tamil Nadu State Conference of

the party, the All India General

Secretary and the State President,

Prof. K. M. Khader Mohideen,

made a bold appeal to the chief

Minister Dr. Kalaingar Karunanidhi

in the presence of lakhs of Muslims

to release the Muslim convicts

suffering in jail for more than a

decade on his personal surety. His

appeal went well with the masses

of the Muslim community. His

appeal moved the hearts of the

audience in the conference. The

Chief Ministers compliments on

the Tamil literary skill of Prof. K.M.Khader Mohideen was well received

by the Muslims, who always looked

upon their State Leader as a moving

encyclopedia. The success of the

Sate Conference was not only an

added feather on the cap of the

Indian union Muslim league but also

judged by many political pundits

a turning point in the history of

Indian Union Muslim League.

The present political scenario is

anything but favorable to the party

and it is hoped that the leadershipwill certainly seize the opportunity

to take the party to the pinnacle

of success

OUR VOICE IN PARLIAMENT

AYODHYA YATHRA A SHAMEFUL EVENT!

The demolition of Babri Masjid on 6th December, 1992 was a mostreprehensible act. The perpetrators of this deed had struck not only

against a place of worship but also at the principles of secularism,

democracy and the rule of law enshrined in our Constitution. In a move assudden as it was shameful, a group of people of heinous crime managed

to outrage the sentiments of millions of Indians of all communities who

have reacted to this incident with anguish and dismay.

Sir, the Liberhan Commission Report has explored the fact that

the demolition was a well-planned and systematic conspiracy created by

the Sangh Pariwar and its sister afliations comprising the RSS, the VHP,

the Bajrang Dal and the BJP. It was neither spontaneous nor a voluntary

one. It was a well-orchestrated and a well-planned one. The Report has

placed individual culpability for the demolition on a total of 68 persons.

Towards this strong indictment, I would like to know what kind of a

punitive action is going to be taken towards the 68 persons who were

strongly indicted by the Report. It is indeed very shameful event in

the history of India.

At this juncture, I would like to point out the narration of the SupremeCourt verdict through SC 605 of 1995. This judgement was given at

the time of the NDA Government only condemning the heinous and

criminal act of Babri Masjid demolition towards the then Cabinet and

Home Minister, now the Hon. Leader of the Opposition. The text very

clearly stated in this way:

It was an act of national shame. What was demolished was not

merely an ancient structure but the faith of minorities in the sense of

justice and fair play of the majority. It shocked their faith in the rule of

law and the constitutional process.

This is the exact narration given by the Supreme Court.

At the time of the demolition of the Babri Masjid in Uttar Pradesh, the

State was governed by the BJP. The demolition was carried out with full

assistance of its sister concern, the RSS. It was running as a parallel

Government. It was stated very clearly in the Liberhan CommissionReport. It was used as an essential component needed for the demolition

act. Even when it was brought to the Chief Ministers attention that the

Babri Masjid was being demolished and the mobs were attacking the

minorities and the innocents in Ayodhya, he did not direct the police

to use their force to protect the people and the innocents. As a result,

all the police ofcers and the Governmental authorities, the complete

Government machinery had acted as uniformed karsevaks rather than

the protectors.

Closed circuit televisions and metal detectors were intentionally

rendered inoperative and ineffective by the Government administration.

No video recording of the event happened. Video recording, according to

the rule of law, from the Government side has been stopped. The media

was targeted and it was heavily harassed. According to the text of the

Liberhan Commission Report, some media people had been arrestedand they were housed in a very small place and some of those media

people were molested. It was a very shameful act. The result of all this

is the betrayal of the nation and Indian history. Such a person is now

a sitting Member of this House which is the supreme institution of this

country. ...*

Sir, the chief architect of the event was Shri L.K. Advani. He has

initiated the Rath Yatra from Somnath to Ayodhya in 1990 which has

created 3,000 riots all over the country. Thousands of people were killed.

The Times of India, in its Editorial Page, has said that it was not a Rath

Yatra, it was a blood yatra. Such a very shameful event had

* Expunged as ordered by the Chair.

happened in this country. I recall that the then Prime Minister Shri V.P.

Singh has not supported the Rath Yatra just to save his Government even

though he was getting the support of the BJP for his Government andbecause of his refusal to support such kind of a criminal act, he had to

lose his Government. He was not hesitating to face such an ultimatum.

At this juncture, I honestly salute the courage of late V.P. Singhji.

Sir, on many previous occasions and even before the Libarhan

Commission, Advaniji has made many conicting statements. Once

he claimed that the demolition of Babri Masjid is the most agonising

moment of his life, another time, he confessed that the demolition of

Babri Masjid has helped his party to consolidate its vote bank and on

another occasion he said that the Ram Temple movement was a matter

of pride for Hindus. The way he was attempting to polarise and poisonise

the Hindu religious concept was not accepted by the Hindu community

and he should realise that.

Sir, in order to disturb the peace and harmony of the country, huge

amount of money was transferred to the accounts of RSS, VHP, BJP

and its associate organisations. As my friend has already mentioned,

tens of crores of rupees have been put in their accounts on so many

occasions. Where has such a huge amount of money come from? Crores

and crores of rupees have been transferred into various accounts for

carrying out this kind of a heinous and criminal act. How has this big

amount of money been transferred? Who has utilised it? How has it beenutilised? All this factual information must be disclosed to the nation. All

the judicial cases pending in different courts pertaining to Babri Masjid

demolition have to be consolidated and should be adjudicated in one

court at the earliest.

At this juncture, before I conclude, I would like to recall how a leader

should act and how a leader of our country had respected the communal

harmony, nationalism and showed great patriotism. At the time of

freedom, the country was partitioned. After the formation of Pakistan, at

that time the Muslim League Leader in Pakistan, Mohammad Ali Jinnah

raised the voice in favour of the Muslim minority community in India to

protect their rights.

At that time the late Muslim League Leader Qaed-e-Milad Mohammad

Ismail Saheb told Mohammad Ali Jinnah Ji, you are in the foreign

country, you are not son of India, you are not the citizen of India, weare the citizens of India, we are the children of this country, we know

how to protect the minority issues. We know how to look into the

minority problems. You are in the foreign country. You should not speak

about a minority community in India. If it is justiable to talk about

a minority, you please think about the minorities, that is, Hindus and

Christians living in that country. You please look into the problems of

those minorities in Pakistan and do not speak about the minority or the

Muslim community in India. We have the courage to face the problems

in this motherland. This is patriotism, this is nationalism. This is the

communal harmony. This is the communal amity the leadership has

shown in this country. Our radical group leaders should learn this kind

of lesson from this kind of an act.

In our Indian culture, no worship place of any religion is demolished

for the creation of another worship place of some other religion. OurIndian people are not having this kind of a culture. India is a secular

country, no religion is against any religion, no religion is giving any kind

of immorality against the morality of any other religion. All religions are

teaching moralities. We may be different in religious names. But as far

as the concept of morality is concerned, we are all brothers, we are all

sisters in India.

I would like to conclude with one particular concept by leaving it for

your consideration. At the time of demolition of Babri Masjid because of

anger of certain group of people in Pakistan, a few number of Temples

were damaged (Interruptions) Immediately, the Pakistan Government

had announced that they would be taken care of (Interruptions) We

know very well that India is a secular country and Pakistan is not like

us. Even then the Pakistan Government had taken the responsibility to

renovate the damaged areas in those Temples (Interruptions)

Apart from the completion of the demolition when Pakistan Government

had submitted all these things to the Hindu community, our Leader of

Opposition, Shri Advani, had gone (Interruptions) and had participated

in the opening of renovated Temples. Like that as this is a secular country,

I would appeal in this august House that let this demolished Babri Masjid

be reconstructed in the same site by the people, if those people are led

by Advani Ji, we are all ready to queue up behind him. That will be a

historical achievement in this country. This kind of secularism, this kind

of communal harmony, this kind of communal amity should be proved

in the history of India. This will be really a new era of all our Indians.

This will be the proud of each and every Indian citizen among the world

countries.

By taking this opportunity, I would request all our people

that because of religion, because of any other worship style, please do

not try to differentiate the brotherhood of the people (Interruptions)All religions are teaching morality. All religions are teaching each and

everyone to behave like brothers and sisters. That kind of concept, that

kind of principle may please be followed by all our Members irrespective

of the State where we are from, irrespective of the political party that

we belong to.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman Sir, for having given me this opportunity

to place my concept and submissions on this debate.

SINGLE WINDOW SYSTEM FOR

MONITORING MINORITY WELFARE

E.T. BASHEER M.P., DEMANDS

I wish to draw the kind attention of this august

House on the necessity of a single window systemfor monitoring the minority welfare programme inour country. There are different Ministries/Councilsand corporations constituted for this purpose.Ministry of Minority Affairs, Maulana Azad Education Foundation,Central Wakf Council, National Minorities Development andFinancial Corporation, Ministry of Human Resource Development,U.G.C., National Council for Promotion for Urdu Language, Ministryof Culture etc. are various bodies entrusted with various scheme.In addition to this Prime Ministers 15 point program is also there.The programme is implemented through various departmentsdealing with the different developmental activities. There is noapex body for monitoring these schemes. I wish to point out thatseveral schemes intended for the upliftment for the minorities are

not attaining its goal due to the lack of evaluation and monitoring.I, therefore, urge upon the Central Government to take urgent actionin the matter and form a single window monitoring mechanism forthe effective implementation of the Minority Welfare Schemes.
