Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind President Maulana Mahmood Madani has expressed deep concern over the recent statement of Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. He said that such statements not only openly promote violence and hatred, but they are also a direct attack on the democratic and constitutional structure of India.

Maulana Madani said that intimidating a particular community, threatening to take away its voting rights and encouraging economic exploitation against it reflects open fascism and a mentality of collective punishment. He made it clear that such thinking is completely unacceptable in any civilized, democratic and constitutional system.

FIR should be registered immediately on inflammatory statements: Madani

He stressed that ignoring these statements as mere political rhetoric or election strategy would be tantamount to compromising the basic principles of democracy. Maulana Madani demanded that an FIR should be registered immediately on such inflammatory and divisive statements and a clear message should be given that neither any person in India is above the law nor any position gives the right to spread hatred.

This is misuse of state power: Maulana Madani

Maulana Madani said that if the Chief Minister of any state himself admits that he is using the administrative and government machinery as a weapon against any community. Inciting people to file false complaints, raising baseless objections and systematic harassment is a gross abuse of state power. He said that such statements are an attempt to openly legitimize violence against a community, raising serious questions on the fairness and credibility of the entire democratic structure.

National issue related to democratic health: Madani

He clarified that Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind does not consider this matter as a matter limited to any one state, but considers it a very serious national issue related to the democratic health of the country. If today freedom is given to target a community in one state, then tomorrow the same attitude can be adopted against any other community.

Maulana Madani appealed to all the constitutional institutions, especially the Election Commission, Judiciary and civil society, to discharge their constitutional responsibilities instead of remaining silent spectators, so that those doing politics of hatred, division and fear can be stopped in time and democracy can be protected.

Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind President Maulana Mahmood Madani has expressed deep concern over the frequent incidents of alleged mob lynching and murder against the Muslim minority community in Bihar in recent times. In this matter, he has written a detailed letter to Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar demanding immediate, effective and decisive action against the culprits.

When hatred takes the form of violence then the state’s silence is fatal: Madani

In his letter, Maulana Madani has said that Bihar, the land of Mahatma Buddha, has been known for its bright tradition of social harmony, compassion and non-violence, but recent incidents have seriously hurt this historical identity of the state. He said that today the mentality of spreading hatred is being given free rein in the entire country, which includes the common anti-social elements as well as the public representatives in Parliament and Assembly. When hatred takes the form of violence, bloodshed and murder, then the silence of the state proves to be extremely fatal. In such a situation, as the Chief Minister, it is your constitutional and moral responsibility to ensure the safety of life and property of the citizens and to restore the shaken public confidence.

Madani mentioned many incidents in the letter

Maulana Madani has mentioned all the recent serious and worrying incidents in his letter. Maulana Madani said – the brutality done to Muslim cloth merchant Mohammad Athar Hussain in Nawada district and his subsequent death; The incident of Ahmed Azad being tied to an electric pole and beaten publicly on suspicion of possessing meat in Mathia village of Gopalganj; The case of Mohammed Murshid Alam being made a victim of kidnapping, physical torture and humiliation by calling him ‘Bangladeshi’ in Chakdaha colony of Madhubani district; Heart-wrenching incidents include the murder of Mohammad Qayyum following a minor dispute in Jhanjharpur and the kidnapping, alleged gang-rape and brutal murder of a widowed Muslim laborer, Hina Parveen, in Bhairavpatti village of Murliganj police station area in Madhepura district.

Expressing deep sorrow, pain and anger over the heinous crime that happened to Hina Parveen, Maulana Madani said that such a brutal murder of a helpless widow, the sole guardian of six innocent children, raises serious questions on both the sensitivity of our society and the efficiency of the administrative system.

Maulana Madani made this demand from Nitish Kumar

Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind has demanded that prompt, transparent and fair action be ensured against the persons involved in all these cases. Strict disciplinary measures should be taken against officials guilty of negligence and adequate compensation, justice and full rehabilitation should be provided to the victims’ families. Also, clear, concrete instructions should be issued to the police and district administration to stop the tendencies of mob justice (vigilantism), communal profiling and violation of law. Apart from this, Maulana Madani has appealed to all the local units of Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind to come forward to help the affected families, especially the orphan children and other needy people.

Union Minister Giriraj Singh has hit back at Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s remarks regarding Hindu religion and Hindu deities. Apart from this, he also reacted to Madani’s statement about Jihad. On Revanth Reddy’s statement, Giriraj Singh said that the Congress Party has launched a campaign against Hindus and whoever talks in such language neither has faith in the Constitution of India nor has anything to do with the culture of India.

Speaking to reporters in the Parliament complex on Wednesday (December 3, 2025), Union Minister Giriraj Singh said, “The people who spoke in such language must have had sentiments linked to the Mughal invaders. Only that person can use such language.” He said that Revanth Reddy should declare Congress Party as Muslim League Congress Party.

Apart from this, Union Minister Giriraj Singh also hit back at the statement given by Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind President Maulana Mahmood Madani regarding teaching Jihad in schools. Giriraj Singh said that Maulana Mahmood Madani should be sent to some Islamic country as a good speaker. There is no need of such people in India. These people create division in the country. They abuse Hindus, insult them and there is no place for Jihad in India.” He said, “Whoever talks about Jihad should be put under the grip of law.”

What did Revanth Reddy say about Hindu gods?,

Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy had given a statement in the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee meeting on Tuesday (December 2, 2025), which quickly went viral on social media. As soon as the video went viral, political controversy broke out in Telangana. Reddy had said, “How many gods are there in Hinduism? Three crore? Why? Hanuman for the unmarried, another god for those who marry twice, another for those who drink alcohol. Yellamma, Pochamma, Maisamma… gods for those who demand chicken, also for those who eat dal and rice.”

Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind President Maulana Mahmood Madani, who was in the news recently for his comments on the Supreme Court, has once again given a big statement. He said that I have not said anything wrong. There is no word in my statement which can be taken back.

Mahmood Madani gave clarification regarding Jihad

Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind President Maulana Mahmood Madani said on Tuesday (December 2, 2025), “For the last 30 years, we have been waging a religious war against those who commit riots and bomb blasts. We keep saying against the riots, which no one can see, that they are rioters and we are Jihadis.”

He said, “This is our Jihad. Speaking against the oppressors and those who do injustice is Jihad and we will continue to do so in the future also. As far as my statement is concerned, there is no word in my statement which can be taken back. I have said the absolutely right thing. I have been saying this regularly and will continue to say so in future also.”

What did Maulana Mahmood Madani say about Vande Mataram?,

Maulana Mahmood Madani has also given a statement regarding the national song Vande Mataram. He said, “Regarding Vande Mataram, I have definitely said that you cannot force anyone. This is our faith. We are monotheists. You want us to bow before everything, why? Let us remain Muslims.”

Madani again gave statement regarding Supreme

Maulana Mahmood Madani, President of Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind, said, “Let me say about the Supreme Court that I belong to an institution which is drawn from a particular community. If I do not express the concerns of my community, then who will? I have told you only the concerns of the community.” He said, “Everyone has the right to call what I say wrong. Reject what I say, it doesn’t matter to me.”

Maulana Mahmood Madani’s recent statement regarding Jihad has started receiving strong reactions from within Muslim organisations. National President of Jamiat Himayatul Islam, Maulana Qari Abrar Jamal on Sunday (November 30, 2025) expressed strong objection to Madani’s statement and said that it is important to understand the real meaning of Jihad. Jihad does not mean fighting against any society or country, but fighting against evil, promoting reform and good works.

It would have been beneficial if a fatwa was issued against terrorists – Jamal

Qari Abrar Jamal said, “If Maulana Mahmood Madani had talked about the problems, misunderstandings within his community and about jihad against those who directly or indirectly support terrorists, it would have sent a positive and meaningful message. If he had issued a fatwa of jihad against terrorists, then this step would have been really beneficial and inspiring for the society.”

He said, “On the contrary, the statements being made by Madani against crores of Sanatani people of the country are extremely unfortunate. The Hindu community has always shown brotherhood and harmony by standing with the Muslims. Be it festivals, happiness or difficult times, they have always supported us.”

It is wrong to talk about jihad against Hindus – Qari Abrar Jamal

Referring to history, Maulana Qari Abrar Jamal said, “Even during the India-Pakistan partition in 1947, the Hindu society had told the Muslims that this is your country, we will protect you. In such a situation, talking about jihad against Hindus is meaningless and wrong. Such statements spoil the atmosphere of the country and it is also not good for the progress of India.”

He said, “The country is rapidly moving towards development and it has been resolved to make India a developed nation by 2047. At such a time, promoting words like jihad and terrorism can take the society in the wrong direction.”

Qari Abrar Jamal appealed to Maulana Mahmood Madani

Appealing to Maulana Mahmood Madani, he said, “He should give the message of nationalism and unity to the Muslims and not give a discourse that creates division in the society. The Ulema should issue a strict fatwa against terrorism. If a person is caught in terrorist activities, we will not perform his funeral and will not even give him a place to bury him in the cemetery.”

BJP and Janata Dal-United (JDU) leaders on Sunday (November 30) criticized Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind chief Maulana Mahmood Madani’s statement on ‘Jihad’. BJP spokesperson Guru Prakash has reminded Mahmood Madani of the law and constitution of the country. BJP national spokesperson Guru Prakash said while talking to the media, “There is democracy and judiciary in the country. He (Mahmood Madani) should be told that he is above the constitution and law.”

He clearly replied that the country has a constitution prepared by Baba Saheb Ambedkar, there is a preamble and thinking. Therefore, do not even imagine taking the law into your own hands. Don’t think about it at all.

Madani should not make irresponsible statements – Ghulam Ghaus

JDU MLC Ghulam Gaus termed Maulana Mahmood Madani’s statement as ‘absurd’. Ghulam Ghaus said, “He (Mahmood Madani) should not make irresponsible statements.” ‘Unity in diversity’ is the specialty of our country.

What did Ghulam Ghaus say on Madani’s ‘homecoming’ statement?

He also rejected the statement of Mahmood Madani, in which Maulana said that a section is being given exemption in the name of ‘homecoming’. Ghulam Ghaus said, “If a person wants to follow any religion willingly then who can stop him? Jihad means gaining control over one’s wrong desires or desires in one’s mind. But they should not make irresponsible statements.”

‘There is no opposition left’

During this, JDU MLC also reacted to Tejashwi Yadav being elected Leader of Opposition. He said, “The opposition has no existence left. The appointment has happened because of the system of democracy. The job of the opposition is not only to criticize the government, but also to advise the government and tell about its mistakes.” Attacking Ghulam Ghaus, he said that it is not his job to merely protest in the name of the opposition, because in a democratic system the opposition is also a part of the government.

The controversial statement of Maulana Mahmood Madani, President of Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind in Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh, has created a new controversy across the country. Now his statement has been opposed by the Chief Imam of All India Imam Organization, Dr. Imam Omar Ahmed Ilyasi himself. He has issued a statement calling it unnecessary and dividing the country.

Ilyasi said, ‘Neither I nor any Indian Muslim agrees with the statement of Maulana Mahmood Madani. His statement is baseless. His statement will spoil the atmosphere and spread anarchy in the country. He said that he neither trusts the government nor the courts, especially the Supreme Court. We don’t know what message he wants to give or what he wants to say. But he specifically mentioned Muslims in his statement. The Muslims of the country do not agree with this. His uncle had also given a controversial statement some time ago. The atmosphere of the country had also deteriorated due to this.

What was the intention behind his statement?

Ilyasi further said, ‘We should think about the intentions behind his statement. The peace of the country should not be affected. Today anti-national forces are active. Conspiracies are being hatched to disturb the peace of the country. Under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi, our country is moving towards becoming ‘Vishwa Guru’. Therefore, conspiracies are being hatched. All this is being done to spoil the environment of the country. No Indian Muslim agrees with his statement. Therefore, they should clearly explain why they have such thinking.

What did Maulana Mahmood Madani say?

Maulana Mahmood Madani, President of Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind in Bhopal, MP had given a controversial statement. In this, he raised questions on the Supreme Court’s decision on Babri Masjid and the policy intentions of the country’s government and said that whenever there is oppression, there will be jihad. Apart from this, he had also given a controversial statement regarding Vande Mataram. Just after this his statement went viral on the internet. Most people are associating his statement with inciting communalism.

Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind chief Maulana Mahmood Madani gave a controversial statement regarding Jihad and triple talaq, after which politics has heated up across the country. In a program in Bhopal on Saturday (29 November 2025), he said that whenever there is oppression, there will be jihad. During this, he also made controversial comments on the Supreme Court. On this statement of Madani, everyone from BJP to Congress, Shiv Sena and JDU targeted him.

BJP called it white collar terrorism

BJP leader and former Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi alleged that such statements were made with the aim of instigating communal riots in the society. He said, “We have to beware of the conspiracy of these white-collar terror leaders. Such people are neither well-wishers of humanity, nor well-wishers of the country, nor well-wishers of any religion. This statement of theirs reflects their distorted mentality towards the country and its honour. Fear and confusion are being exposed one by one. Your communal conspiracy thinking is completely aimed at creating division and conflict in the society. This kind of violent anarchic thinking will never succeed. It won’t happen.”

Stop giving wrong sermons on Islam: Congress

Congress leader Shama Mohammed said, “I want to ask Maulana Madani what is wrong in the Supreme Court’s decision on triple talaq? It is not even in the Quran Sharif. Please stop preaching wrong Islam to your followers. It is haram.”

No one can disagree with Vande Mataram: JDU

On Maulana Mahmood Madani’s speech in Bhopal, JDU leader Neeraj Kumar said, “Whether it is Vande Mataram or the national anthem, no one can disagree on it. Who can disagree with the national anthem or the national flag? This country belongs to everyone and everyone has played a role in maintaining democracy and achieving independence. No one has come from abroad. The people of this country have played an important role in building educational institutions or society, hence Vande Mataram, Bharat Mata Ji.” Raising slogans of Jai and bowing before the national flag is not a living community or a killing community. It is a sign of the Indian community.”

‘Stop provoking the Muslim community’

Shiv Sena leader Shaina NC said, “Maulana Madani and such so-called contractors of the society always give wrong advice. If the Supreme Court gave its stand on triple talaq for the honor of Muslim women, was it regressive? He said that the word Jihad has been misused, we also agree that the word Jihad has been misused, but why are you provoking the Muslim class? Such contractors of the society should talk thoughtfully. People should not be misled.”

Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind chief Maulana Mahmood Madani has expressed objection to the questions being raised regarding the word Jihad in a program in Bhopal. Speaking at the National Governing Body meeting of Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind, he said that the enemies of Jihad, Islam and Muslims have transformed the sacred ideas of Islam like Jihad into words associated with misuse, disturbance and violence.

‘Whenever there is oppression, there will be jihad’

Maulana Mahmood Madani said that by using words like Love Jihad, Land Jihad, Education Jihad and Spit Jihad, Muslims are hurt a lot and their religion is insulted. He said that people holding responsible positions in the government and media also use such words. They have no shame nor do they care about hurting the entire community. During this, while making controversial remarks, Maulana Mahmood Madani said that whenever there is oppression, there will be jihad.

‘Negative campaign against religious seminaries’

Mahmood Madani also said, “The current situation in the country is very sensitive and worrying. Sadly, a community is being legally weakened, socially isolated and economically dispossessed. Efforts like mob lynching, bulldozer action, occupation of Waqf property and negative campaigns against religious madrassas and reforms are being made to weaken their religion, identity and existence.”

‘Muslims feeling unsafe’

He said, “Today Muslims feel unsafe on the road. They have to face hatred at every step. Now we also have to be prepared. Those who include people in a particular religion in the name of returning home have a free hand. No questions are raised against them nor any legal action is taken. This is a completely double attitude.”

Maulana Madani’s bad words on Supreme Court

Mahmood Madani also raised questions on the Supreme Court. Mahmood Madani said, “It is impossible to create law and order and crime-free society in any country without justice. Sadly, in the last few years, especially after the decisions in cases like Babri Masjid and Triple Talaq, it has become a common thought that the courts are working under government pressure. Various interpretations of constitutional rules and basic principles related to minorities have raised serious questions on the role of the judiciary.”

He said, “The Supreme Court is entitled to be called Supreme only as long as it follows the rules and takes care of the duties of the law. If it does not do so, then it is morally not entitled to be called Supreme.”

Congress Party’s national spokesperson Dr. Shama Mohammad has expressed strong objection to a statement by Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind President Maulana Mahmood Madani on Saturday (November 29, 2025). Dr. Shama Mohammad even asked Maulana Madani to stop giving wrong teachings of Islam to the people.

In fact, Maulana Mahmood Madani, while addressing the National Governing Body meeting of Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind in Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh, had objected to the questions being raised regarding the word Jihad. He said that the enemies of Islam and Muslims have transformed the sacred ideas of Islam like Jihad into words associated with misuse, chaos and violence.

At the same time, during this time he raised questions on the Supreme Court and the decisions given by the Supreme Court, after which Congress leader Dr. Shama Mohammed got angry.

Dr. Shama Mohammad spoke on the statement of Maulana Madani

Congress national spokesperson Dr. Shama Mohammad reposted a video of Maulana Mahmood Madani giving a speech during the program on social media platform X on Saturday (November 29, 2025). She said in her post, ‘I want to ask Maulana Mahmood Madani, what is wrong in the Supreme Court’s decision on triple talaq? This is not even in Quran Sharif! So please stop preaching wrong Islam to your followers! This is haram.

I would like to ask Maulana Madani – what is wrong with the Supreme Court verdict on Triple Talaq? It doesn’t even exist in the Holy Quran! Please stop preaching the wrong Islam to the followers! That is Haram https://t.co/o4IDvlpDgl

What did Maulana Madani say on the decisions of the Supreme Court?,

Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind President Maulana Mahmood Madani said regarding the decisions of the Supreme Court, ‘It is impossible to create law and order and crime-free society in any country without justice. Sadly, in the last few years, especially after the decisions in cases like Babri Masjid and Triple Talaq, it has become a common perception that the courts are working under government pressure. ‘Many interpretations of constitutional rules and fundamental principles related to minorities have raised serious questions on the role of the judiciary.’

He said, ‘The Supreme Court deserves to be called Supreme only as long as it follows the Constitution and takes care of the duties of the law. If he does not do this then he does not deserve to be called supreme.
