Jamaat-e-Islami President Syed Saadatullah Hussaini expressed serious concern over the arrest of Islamic scholar Maulana Tauqir Raza Khan with several other people in Bareilly and said that it is a reflection that it is a reflection that in which direction our country is being taken by communal politics and hatred.

In a statement issued to the media, he said, ‘The expression of devotion and reverence started with the simple slogan of’ I Love Muhammad ‘, it was condemned to be condemnable by calling it a threat to public system. FIR and comprehensive collective arrests are not only unfair to criminal the peaceful suit of faith, but it is an insulting attack on the civilized ethos of respected and pluralism.

Maulana Tauqir Raza was under house arrest from the beginning

He said, ‘For centuries, the people of India have been living together respecting each other’s religious sentiments. It is unimaginable that such an expression of devotion can polarize society, rather, it is a political mischief that has given rise to this crisis.

He further said, ‘Reports show that Maulana Tauqir Raza was initially placed under house arrest and after that an FIR was lodged against hundreds of Muslims without proper investigation under the most rigorous provisions of the Indian Justice Code.’

Use of derogatory language against Maulana Tauqir

Hussaini said, ‘Even more disturbing is that some political leaders have used derogatory language against a reputed scholar like Maulana Tauqir Raza, which highlights the disgusting politics behind this entire episode. Such an inconsistent use of state power not only weakens the rule of law, but also deepens separation and mistrust.

The Jamaat president said, ‘India has faced countless protests and movements in its democratic journey. Although violent incidents such as stone pelting or damage to property should always be condemned, no allegations are valid without proper investigation and it is a basic principle of governance that law enforcement agencies respond with equality and genetics.

Communities are being divided

He said, ‘Similar movements in the past have been managed without any harsh allegations or balanced response of criminalization of the entire community. Targeting and taking action against any one group is a violation of both the spirit of the Constitution and the principles of fair governance.

Maulana said, ‘What is being displayed today is the misuse of state machinery and law enforcement for political objectives, which is turning the challenges of law and order into communal polarization opportunities. Every time elections come close, this cycle is repeated, communities are divided, mistrust is created and the social fabric of the nation is sacrificed for narrow benefits. This is a dangerous path, which is destroying democratic institutions and constitutional values.

Syed Saadatullah appeals to Muslim communities

Syed Saadatullah Hussaini said, ‘We appeal to the Muslim community to be firm, peaceful and follow the messages of patience, kindness and compassion of Prophet Muhammad (there is peace and grace of God). At the same time, we urge the government to immediately withdraw excessive allegations, release the people detained wrongly and restore equality, genetics and justice in governance.

Hussaini said, ‘India’s strength lies in the social fabric of its constitution, its pluralism and mutual respect. Weakening these foundations for short -term political benefits causes damage to not only a community, but the entire nation.

Jamaat-e-Islami Hind President Syed Saadatullah Hussaini has strongly condemned the growing massacre and human crisis in Gaza. Hussaini urged the Government of India, world powers and rational citizens from all over the world to stand up against harassment and take immediate action to stop the Israeli’s ongoing attack.

In a statement issued to the media, the Jamaat president said, ‘More than 20.1 lakhs, including about 1.1 million children, are stuck in Palestinian Gaza due to continuous siege and bombing. Since the ceasefire broke on 18 March 2025, Israel has increased its military aggression.

Full blockage on essential items
He further said that apart from this, there is complete blockade on help and essential items. The people of Gaza are dying of hunger and thirst, their houses are collapsing and their voices have been suppressed. The situation is very serious. The Israeli government is planning complete destruction of the people of Gaza and the world should take action from now on to stop this near destruction.

Hussain said that 90% of Gaza’s medical facilities have either been destroyed or are not working. Only a few nutrition centers are running throughout the Gaza Strip, while thousands of tonnes of aid materials, including food and medicines, have been stuck on the boundary posts for months. Diseases like diarrhea, hepatitis and respiratory infection are spreading rapidly due to lack of cleanliness and clean water availability.

UNICEF reports

He further said that according to UNICEF reports, 6,60,000 children are unable to go to school and more than 17,000 children are alone or orphans. If the siege is not removed, there is a possibility of a large famine by September 2025. Hussaini called upon the international community to take decisive action and said that this is an examination for the global system.

He said that we call on all countries to break military and economic relations with Israel, to follow the ICC arrest warrant for Netanyahu and support the United Nations General Assembly to end illegal occupation.

Eliminate dual criteria rich countries

Hussain said that in the case of Israeli, double standards of the United States -led rich and powerful nations should end. Now the time has come for the US and its allies only move beyond the showy things and start following the great principles of peace and justice that they claim.

India should also take initiative

Syed Hussaini urged the Government of India to fulfill his historical and moral responsibility by adopting a firm and theoretical attitude. India has always supported Palestine’s equitable side. In this important moment, we should raise our voice more vigorously and clearly than before. The government should publicly condemn Israel’s action.

All military and strategic partnerships with him should be suspended and support the international initiative to justify the attackers. Our voice should be directed not by political calculations, but by our constitutional values and civilized ethos. He reiterated, ‘There is no neutral diplomacy in front of the massacre, it is a reasonable opportunity to stand on the right side of history.’

Appeal to ordinary citizens

Calling the citizens of India, Hussaini appealed for active participation in peaceful resistance. He said, we urge our fellow citizens to raise their voice, boycott Israeli products and companies involved in this genocide and oppose the misinformation being spread about Palestinian resistance. At the same time, we should use every platform such as social media, public functions and personal conversations to share the truth about Gaza and stand with the oppressed.
