5 SUMMARY Review of Urdu newspapers published by the India Policy Foundation (IPF) was not at all liked by Jamate Islami and its mouth piece Dawat wrote an editorial over it with the headline A planned attempt to divide Indian society. Now, the question is that if Indian society can be divided by analyzing different news reports in Urdu Newspapers. If presenting the truth is not crime then why Jamate Islami is bothered about it? Is not is truth that the aim of Jamate Islami is to bring Nijam-e-Mustafa (Islamic nation) in the country? Though Jamate Islami claims to be a cultural organization but since 1960 it was trying to enter into politics from the back door. Isn't it dangerous for the unity of the country to dream of making the country an Islamic nation and opposing democracy? There was uproar in Andhra Pradesh and Telengana last week when police killed seven terrorists. Radical Muslims alleged that the police deliberately killed Muslim youths. Several Urdu Newspapers joined this campaign. It was alleged that the police killed innocent youths while truth is that these people killed in Andhra Pradesh were seven SIMI terrorists who escaped from Khandwa jail. In this police encounter two police personal were also killed. Other five policemen killed were associated with a terrorist organization Galba Islam Party. They were alleged to be responsible for brutally killing three policemen. Killing innocent people in the name of encounter cannot be tolerated by the civil society but those who were killed in these two incidents were dreaded terrorists. In such situation advocating them cannot be justified. These days Sangh Pariwar is in the line of fire of Muslim organizations. Jamiat Ulama e Hind and Jamate Islami don't want to miss any opportunity to target Sangh leaders. Secretary of Mahmood Madni faction of Jamiat Ulama Maulana Naumani is running a campaign against various organization of Sangh in Urdu newspapers. Painful condition of minority Hindu in Pakistan is reflected from the decision of the Pakistan Supreme Court that ruled on the petition of chief of Pakistan Hindu Panchayat Ramesh Kumar who alleged that Muslims captured a temple in 1979 in a village in Khaibar Pakhtunva. There were hands of some political leaders in this sordid deed. They gave a proposal to Hindu leaders that if they pay a sum of Rs 3.75 lakh, the land would be given back to them. Hindus contributed and the amount was paid to Muslim leaders. Muslim leaders had taken the money but refused to return the land. President of Hindu Panchayat filed a case in the court saying that demolition spree to Hindu temple by Muslims is continuing from very long time and the government and the police are part of it. When the Supreme Court issued notice to the state government, the public prosecutor tried to push up the matter. When this continued for long, the SC instructed the state government to built a temple on own its expanses. Now, the interesting thing is that if the government follows instructions of the court or not. Interesting information is coming from Turkey that indicates radicals Islamists once again taking rains in the country. Recently work for converting an old monument in the capital city of Turkey into India Policy Foundation April 16 - May15,

6 mosque started. Around 1500 years ago this building was erected as a Church which was around 1000 years ago converted into Sufia mosque. In 1932 this building was made museum by Kamal Ataturk. As per the news reports coming in from there, an imam has started reciting Quran there. Intention of the incumbent government it Turkey is to convert this building into a mosque again. A new political formation is taking place in the country and Radical Islamists are once again in power. The new government recently invited over a dozen Urdu journalists from India. These journalists criticized Kamal Ataturk in a bitter manner and declared him enemy of Islam. They welcomed the fact that Islamic rule is once again established in Turkey.

7 NATIONAL I Why India Policy Foundation is under attack from Urdu media? Dawat, mouth piece of Jamate Islami, on April 19, 2015 published an editorial on the front page targeting publication of analysis and review of Urdu media by India Policy Foundation (IPF). The newspaper gave headline to this editorial Planned attempt to divide Indian society. The newspaper said mentioning preface of online newsletter of the IPF that some of the newspapers in the country tried to break social fabric of the country and were always in the look out to start the communal fire. Recently Urdu newspapers started a campaign against Hindu leaders and organizations. They tried to incite Muslim leaders by using the statement of Sarsanghchalak Shri Mohan Rao Bhagwat and other leaders. This is absolutely false that Sangh leaders are harming unity of the country. The bitter truth that Shri Bhagwat spoke about Christian missionary Mother Teresa had been used by the newspapers to incite minorities against Hindus. This is mentioned in the analysis of Urdu media in Hindi and English in the preface of the issue dated March Important Urdu newspapers were analyzed and presented in Hindi and English with comments. Its purpose is to make opinion about Muslims among intellectuals of the majority community but with a pre conceived idea. The organization is trying to influence policy of the country. Though IPF started working in 2008 but it became more active since the Narendra Modi government had taken over. Its real objective is discussion on national and international issues and to give a particular tilt to the policy decisions. Presenting reports of Urdu newspapers in a clever manner that serves their interest has been their real objective. The organization outlining its objective on its website claims strengthening democracy in the country and guiding the nation for the challenges put before it. Its real objective is to play active role in the matters of national interest. The organization has been doing research on policy matters with the collaboration of several other institutions of India and abroad. It also takes help of seminar and brings out book to arouse public consciousness. The IPF in its recent issue covered news reports from 28 Urdu newspapers and projected them as anti- RSS. Now let us analyze their claim of being democratic. This organization is learning from Israel to strengthen social fabric of the country. In the recent past, deputy chief of mission of Israeli Embassy and honorary director of IPF Rakesh Sinha had a meeting to encourage mutual cooperation. This and over a dozen other such policy organizations have been playing special role in the policy decisions. Between March 18 and 19, 2015 another group India Foundation organized a seminar on antiterrorism where national and international thinkers participated. This organization was started by Ram Madhav around 8 years ago. In this seminar Union Home minister Rajnath Singh called Muslim patriot. Later on it was known that in this seminar against terrorism six Union ministers and other experts participated. Role of the son of National Security Advisor Ajit Dobhal was importation in it.

8 Comment : Jamate Islami and its mouth piece Dawat are put off with the IPF because it has been able to expose them. Isn't it in the national interest to expose Urdu newspapers running mischievous and false campaign against the country and the majority community? Isn't it true that several Urdu newspapers are published from India but they speak the language of Pakistan? Will editor of Dawat dare to produce a single instance where news report or editorial in Urdu newspapers are not presented in a twisted manner? Why Jamate Islami is uneasy for the IPF exposing anti-national newspapers, news reports and comments. Jamate Islami is such an organization that has been banned by Bangladesh. Relations of leaders of Jamate Islami of Jammu and Kashmir with Pakistan are not hidden to anyone. Isn't it true that banned Islamic organization SIMI was once part of the Jamate Islami? Isn't it that hands of SIMI people were found in terror activities in the country? Is it not true that people involved in bomb blasts in the country have been found having close relationship with Jamat? Isn't it true that Jamat wants to convert India into Nijam e Mustafa (Islamic nation)? Was not the founder of Jamate Islami Maulana Madudi fiercely opposed to democracy? Is it not true that Kerala government banned several publications of Jamate Islami as it considers them anti-national? Is it not true that the organization by donning the rob of religious and cultural organization is actually involved in politics. Will leaders of Jamate Islami tell that in the past two years how many times they visited Pakistan? Jamate Islami is tainted with terror allegations. What are the relations Jamate Islami has with Mutamvare Islami of Saudi Arabia and Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt? Dawat must throw some light on it. Is it not true that once Muslim Muttihida Mahaz contested Lok Sabha elections with the blessings of Jamate Islami, Maulana Muzaffar Hussain and Maulana Israrul Haque were elected to Lok Sabha. Is it not true that Maulana Muzaffar Hussain was put on house arrest under defense of India rule? Is it not true that at the instance of Jamate Islami a discontented leader of Jamiat Ulama Atikurahman Usmani formed an organization of 17 Islamic outfits All India Majlish Mushrawat that fielded candidates for the Lok Sabha and Assembly elections? Is it not true that Jamate Islami formed a political party Welfare Party of India to contest elections in the country and tried to form a Sanyukt Morcha of Muslims and other minorities? This is a different matter that despite its entire attempt to influence politics of the country, it failed miserably. Is it a crime of the IPF to analyze and review Urdu newspapers and what for leaders of Jamate Islami are so annoyed? Is bringing truth before the nation a crime? II Ruckus over killing of terrorists Siyasat (April 5, 2014) reported that the police killed two terrorist in Nalgaunda district who were associated with banned terrorist organization SIMI. According to director general of Telengana police Anurag Sharma, those killed included Mohammad Ezazuddin and Mohammad Aslam. They had fled from the Khandwa prison of Madhya Pradesh in As per Sharma, when encounter with these India Policy Foundation April 16 - May15,

9 terrorist took place one policeman was killed while two got injured. These two terrorists were alleged to be involved in bomb blast at Chennai railway station. They were also alleged to be responsible for bomb blast at Ganesh temple in Pune. The police said that when they were asked for frisking, they refused and opened fire at the police in which two home guards were killed and three police personal got injured. A carbine and two pistols were recovered from them. The police are looking for their four other accomplishes. They are also alleged to be looting a bank in Karim Nagar. The machine gun recovered from them was of the police. Intelligence people are looking for these people. After this incidence, five other Islamic terrorists were killed when they were being taken to a Hyderabad court from Warangal jail. It is said that one of their accomplish fled. The police said that these terrorists were taking shelter in a mausoleum in Sita Rampur. The management of the mausoleum was also being quizzed. According to Munsif (April 7, 2014), the entire country was put on alert for the arrest these terrorists. The police arrested some SIMI workers in Kurnool. According to NIA, five accomplishes of these terrorists are being searched. The police claimed that two terrorists were killed in Andhra Pradesh. The looted an ATM in Lucknow in February and killed three people. According to Roznama Rashtriya Sahara (April 9, 2015), Jamiat Ulama e Hind general secretary Maulana Mahmood Madni criticized the police encounter in Warangal. He alleged that the police arrested these Muslims in false cases of terrorism but when they were unable to produce evidences, they killed them in encounter. He demanded CBI investigation into the matter and also said that the matter would be challenged in the court. Jamate Islami general secretary Nusrat Ali demanded arrest of guilty police officials and cases filed against them in the court. He demanded Rs 1 crore compensation to every family member of the alleged terrorists killed in encounter. He said that pictures of the people published in newspapers had their hands tied in seats and they were handcuffed. The story of the police in this regard appears to be a complete false. President of All India Majlish Mushrawat Dr Zafar Islam Khan said, If we don't get justice in India, we would go to international forum so Indian Muslims get some respite from the government terrorism. Muslim leaders and Urdu newspapers unleashed a campaign against the government for the killing of dreaded SIMI terrorists. Roznama Rashtriya Sahara (April 9, 2015) attributed Congress leader Digvijay Singh calling the Warangal encounter of Wakaruddin as fake. Communist Party of India demanded high-level enquiry into the matter. Roznama Rashtriya Sahara on April 9, 2015 wrote in its editorial that voices against these encounters have started emanating from Andhra Pradesh and Telengana. In the Warangal district of Telengana five Muslims prisoners were killed in an encounter. Similarly in the disguise of smugglers of sandalwood, the police killed 20 laborurs in the state. Congress leader Digvijay Singh said that the way encounter was done in Gujarat, similar encounter was done in Telengana. Father of Wakarudding demanded CBI inquiry into the matter. The CPI has been demanding compensation to 20 laborurs killed in encounter but it is not demanding compensation for five Muslims. If both these incidences are fake encounters then why double standard. There are several incidence of fake encounter but they are India Policy Foundation April 16 - May15,

10 put in the cold storage. Encounters of Ishrat Jahan in Gujarat and Sohrabuddin in Rajasthan could be termed as fake. Similar is the case of the Batla House encounter. The government must ensure that the police don't kill innocent people. According to Inquilab (April 9, 2015), Shahi Imam Syed Ahmed Bukhari termed it as brutal killing. Chief of Jamate Islami Jalaluddin Umri said that this matter would be taken up across the country so any policeman could not dare to kill Muslim youths. Azizulhind on April 10, 2015 expressed concern in its editorial that spree of killing Muslims in fake encounter is not stopping. The newspaper reported that story of the police was absolutely false. Telengana police killed two youths Aslam and Amzad in such encounters. The police claimed that they were SIMI activists who had fled from Khandwa jail. The newspaper complained that implicating Muslims in false cases are continuing unabated. The same newspaper published the statement of All India United Democratic Front president and MP Maulana Badrudding Azmal in which he demanded CBI inquiry into the matter. He said that the story told by the Telengana police was unbelievable. The police deliberately killed these innocent Muslims. Siyasat on April 09, 2015 editorial alleged that the Telengana police killed these innocent Muslims in revenge. So the police and the government must have to answer before people. Muslims would not look into the matter silently. If Muslims are keeping silent, then no one can guarantee security of Muslim youths. The newspaper expressed concern that there was lack of unity among Muslims which emboldened the administration. Another newspaper Munsif on April 9, 2015 alleged that the police were killing innocent Muslims deliberately because hands and legs of the people killed were tied. They were also tied in seats. Statements of the police were not reliable. Another newspaper Itmad (April 9, 2015) alleged that the police were breaking laws and they were not encounter but murder. The Central government cannot escape from the responsibility just by asking report from the state. They are equally responsible in this crime. Muslims of the country must raise voice against it. According to Siyasat (April 9, 2015), several dozens of Muslims have been killed by the police. In July 1993, Fasi Ahmed was killed in police encounter while in 2002 alleged mastermind of Sai Baba temple Syed Aziz and Azam was killed by Karim Nagar police. In 2004, one Muslim mujahid Salim Azmi was killed in police encounter in Saidabad. His four accomplish were recently killed. Siyasat published many pictures of their funeral procession. As per the news report, the crowd turned violence when bodies were being buried and several vehicles were destroyed. Siyasat in its editorial on April 9, 2015 complained that the police were killing Muslims in a planned manner. The newspaper demanded that the guilty police officials must be punished and cases must be filed against them. Nai Dunia on April 20, 2015 reported that the way bloodbath was being played against Muslims that had demolished faith of Muslims in chief minister of Telengana and Telengana Rashtra Samiti. The newspaper alleged that Muslim Ittehada Musalmin was trying to cover up the matter instead of taking a solid step. India Policy Foundation April 16 - May15,

11 Inquilab on April 22, 2015 alleged in the main news report that a committee constituted by the people revealed that the truth of the police claim of killing five terrorist is that they were killed by the police and guns were placed besides them later. The committee also claimed that Aaler where encounter took place, traffic for two kilometers was closed. The committee demanded judicial probe into the matter. Siyasat on April 14, 2015 in its editorial criticized the fake encounter. The newspaper demanded that investigation must be done by the CBI to probe this fake encounter. The newspaper said that special investigation team would have Telengana police team and you cannot expect impartial enquiry. Action must be taken against guilty police officials. According to Siyasat on (April 11, 2015), over the killing of SIMI terrorists in police encounter vioent Muslim youths caused ruckus outside Mecca mosque in Hyderabad. The police registered 11 cases on attacking police and stone pelting. The police resorted to Lathicharge in which several people got injured. According to Siyasat (April 12, 2015), the police arrested several dozens of Muslims involved in this violence. Siyasat on April 17, 2015 published a news report in which it was claimed that Mohammad Ahmed father of deceased Waqar Ahmed sent a letter to chief justice of Andhra Pradesh High Court on April 25, 2015 in which he expressed his suspicion that his son was killed in fake encounter. Naxal leader Barabar Rao alleged that the police were killing Muslim youths under a conspiracy. He said that Telengana chief minister Chandrashekhar Rao got killed Muslim youth under pressure from the Central government and the RSS. III Masarat Alam a puppet in hands of Pakistan The way Masarat Alam was released by chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir Mufti Mohammad Sayeed and later on arrested again under pressure from the BJP triggered violent protests in the valley. Delhi-based weekly Nai Dunia warned in its editorial on April 27, 2015 that Pakistan was once again trying to diminish peace in the Valley. Self proclaimed messiah of people in the Valley were looking for a new pawn in the name of Masarat Alam to implement their design. This included political decision of releasing prisoner and schemed to get Masarat arrested to throw the Valley in the fire. He started it at the time when tourist season in the Valley starts. Masarat is such a leader who always praises Pakistan. When handful of people were shouting slogan 'Meri Jaan Pakistan', it made news but no one paid attention to the action of Pakitani pawns. This group does whatever is asked by its bosses sitting in Pakistan. These puppets of Pakistan must be asked that why thousands of people are killed in the land where they were shouting slogan 'Pakistan Meri Jaan'. The Pakistan which is in pain over killing of India Policy Foundation April 16 - May15,

12 Kashmiries is unable to see bodies of Shias in its own courtyard. Had he raised voice against killing of Shias and terror of Pakistani Taliban, he would have deserved heaven. But Masarat Alam is getting something from Pakistan to destroy peace in the Valley where there is peace, happiness and democracy. In this game of Pakistan the real culprits are Indian pawns of Pakistan. They are trying to give message to Pakistan by raising Pakistani flag that people across the border are looking at them while the truth is that bosses of dying Huriyat Conference are worried. Masarat Alam was in the Jail but when PDP-BJP government came to power in J&K, he was released under a political game-plan but now Mufti must be regretting the way Masarat bitten him. There was a complete peace before Masarat was released. No one paid attention to release and arrest of Masarat but politics of Mufti awaken terrorists across the border. The biggest terrorist in Pakistan who hates India like anything and mastermind of Mumbai terror attack raises anti-india voice at every platform. However, no one accepted the fact that there were hands of Pakistani government and Army behind Hafiz. Now, Hafiz is so emboldened that he declared it openly getting support of Pakistan and its Army against Jihad in India. What Hafiz Sayeed said might cause problem not only for the Army but also for the country. Hafiz Sayeed told a TV channel that the Pakistan government and Army are with us in jihad for Kashmiries against India. Which force is encouraging Hafiz Sayeed and why Pakistan is not worrying of getting exposed? Nawaz Sharif government is hapless to pull string of these jihadies. Pakistan is on a full time mission in Jammu and Kashmir. They are inciting separatist so there is a need for security forces to remain cautious. There must not be a situation to open fire in retaliation of stone palters. There is a need for intelligence agencies to become more active so anti-india protests are avoided. Hurriyat Conference was confined to its office near Rajbhag during the Lok Sabha and Assembly elections. A senior leader said that once lakh of people used to gather at the call of Syed Ahmed Shah Ghilani but now it is difficult to mobilize even hundreds. Media is fanning the activities of separatists for TRP. Hurriyat Conference's call for protest against Taral incident was a complete dud. But strange thing is that incidents of stone pelting took place in north Kashmir but news channel projected as it was across the Valley. This has sent a message as if every Kashmiri is a separatist, anti-national and supporter of Pakistan IV Jihadi leader glorified Hindustan Express on April 8, 2015 reported that Institute of Objective studies decided to give away Shah Waliullah award to All India Muslim Personal Law Board besides that under junior category awards will be given to two researchers Mohammad Kitayadullah and Nanjam al Shahir. Extremist Muslim leaders are running a campaign to glorify this jihadi. Last month, National Urdu Promotion Council, a government organization, organized a seminar. Urdu department of Delhi University and Jawahar Lal Nehru University organized couple of seminars. But strange thing is that India Policy Foundation April 16 - May15,

13 this radical Islamic scholar was termed as secularist. This is the same person who had invited Ahmad Shah Abdali from Afghanistan to attack India to end the influence of Kafir in India. Abdali killed lakhs of Indians in the Battle of Panipat and looted Delhi. Even temples of Mathura and Vrindavan were not spared. It is also said that this Islamic scholar Shah Waliullah Khan instigated Abdali to attack Mathura, Vrindavan and Kurukshetra. In this attack Abdali killed thousands of Hindu and destroyed hundreds of temples. Secretary of Shah Waliullah Committee Prof Istaq Danish said that his organization IOS is giving away Shah Waliullah Award since This award includes Rs 1 lakh in cash, one memento and a shawl. V A new campaign against Sangh Sahafat on April 5, 2015 published a report with the headline Dangerous campaign against Jamiat Ulama and Jamate Islami by the RSS. According to the newspaper, campaign against Muslim organizations was intensified by the RSS after the formation of the Modi government. Hindu community is being misled by publications of RSS and its affiliate organizations to campaign against Jamit Ulama and Jamate Islami. The RSS and its affiliate organizations are taking up issues like Ghar Wapsi, Love Jihad and population control for Muslims. Jamate Islami is especially under attack. The newspaper published three pictures of cover of three books with the news report. One of them had the headline Danger of Minoritism. The other had the headline Challenges of Islamic rule and title of the third book was Islamic Political Thought and Aspirations. One of the book Danger of Minoritism by Muzaffar Hussain claims the work being done in the name of minoritism is to destroy the nation while K D Paliwal referring verses of Quran in his book India another challenge to Islamic rule wrote that as per instructions from prophet Muslims must marry such women who loves you and could give as many children as possible so Islamic rule can be established while the book by Purushottam Islamic Political Thought and Aspiration tells that only Islam is responsible for partition and other problems in the country. The two big Muslims organization Jamate Islam and Jamiat Ulama wants to make India an Islamic Nation. In this book Mahatma Gandhi, Pt Jawahar Lal Nehru and other secular leaders have been fiercely criticized saying that they were not aware of the intention of Islam. Purushottam also said that Maulana Abbu Ali was more honest than Maulana Hasan Madni who clearly said that Islam and patriot cannot coexist. He also said Muslims would make Pakistan, Hindus can make their own nation. The newspaper reported that such talks are making confusion among Muslims. Member of Jamate Islami executive committee Dr Syed Qasim Iliyas said that organizations like Sangh Pariwar under a planned conspiracy campaigning against Muslim organizations. This propaganda is being done so that literate Hindus get influenced by it and start doubting Muslims. The RSS refused to accept Muslims as minorities in its Nagpur conclave. India Policy Foundation April 16 - May15,

14 VI Fierce attack on 'Saamana' of Shiv Sena Inquilab on April 16, 2015, criticized by saying that the demand made by Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut was the complete violation of Constitution. Therefore he must be arrested immediately. The newspaper expressed astonishment over the fact that despite anti-constitutional demand, the Election Commission had not taken any action on the matter. Sanjay Raut is an MP and he must have taken oath to allegiance of Indian constitution but he is disrespecting the constitution. The same newspaper attributed All India Muslim Personal Law Board spokesperson Abdur Raheem Qureshi's demand from the PM to make his view clear on the issue of Shiv Sena. Both the parties are partners at the Centre and in the state both therefore they cannot disown this statement. If the government thinks that this demand was anti-constitutional then why the guilty was not punished? Shahi Imam of Jama Masjid termed Shiv Sena as the biggest anti-muslim organization. He alleged that Shiv Sena always frightened Muslims. Statement of Shiv Sena is going to drive the country towars another partition. All India United Democratic Front president Maulana Badruddin Azmal said that people with such demands were enemies of Unity and peace of the country. Constitution has given every citizen to exercise his/her voting right and anyone demanding withdrawal of it was violation of the Constitution. The place for such people is in jail as they are enemies of the nation. An IPS officer of Uttar Pradesh cadre Amitabh Thakur complained in the court demanding that cases must be filed against Sanjay Raut and Akbarudding Owaisi. Such statements are against unity and integrity of the nation. Union minority affairs minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said that demanding withdrawal of voting right from Muslims was an irresponsible statement and this would spoil environment of the country. According to Azizulhind (April 14, 2015), imam of Fatehpuri mosque Dr Mohammad Mukarram demanded filing case against Shiv Sena while secretary of Jamiat Ulama e Hind Maulana Abdul Hamid Naumani called Shiv Sena a fascist organization. He demanded Election Commission to cancel its recognition as a political party. The newspaper published nine reports in this regard in which arrest of Sanjay Raut was also demanded. Roznama Rashtriya Sahara on April 13, 2015 criticized the demand of banning Muslims from voting in its editorial and alleged that Shiv Sena leaders by making such statements are actually harming development initiative of PM Narendra Modi. If the PM really believes in principal of 'Sabka Saath aur Sabka Vikas', he must have to rein in such elements so the environment of the country is not tense and sense of security increases among Muslims. If such demands are not stopped unity of the country would be in danger. Azizulhind on April 13, 2015 wrote in its editorial that ever since the Narendra Modi government came to power extremists have started a campaign against Muslims. Now, demand is being made to get rid Muslims of their voting rights while one of the leaders of Hindu Mahasabha suggested forced family planning for growing Muslim and Christian population. The RSS is using the Central India Policy Foundation April 16 - May15,

15 government against Muslims. They are also being targeted in the name of beef and demand is being raised to ban cow slaughter. The only purpose of it is to harm Muslims economically. Strange this is that human right people are keeping silent over it. Inquilab on April 13, 2015 attributed Congress spokesperson Meem Afzal saying that if the Modi government has the courage, it should bring law barring 20 crore Muslims from voting right. Urdu Times on April 13, 2015 published special editorial in which it alleged that leaders of Shiv Sena lost their mental balance. They don't know what they are saying. In the same issue statement of Gurudas Kamat was published very prominently in which legal action against Sanjay Raut and Shiv Sena has been demanded. In another editorial, the newspaper said that the RSS has been demanding from very long that Muslims must be withdrawn voting rights. Now Shiv Sena is following the path of the RSS. It appears that they are so afraid of strength of Muslims that they want to snatch Muslims their voting right. The newspaper warned that if Muslims have been separated from the democratic process, the country would not progress. They must understand be it the BJP, be it Shiv Sena or the Congress, this country is not their ancestral property. At present the NDA is in power but this situation is not going to remain forever. People were fed up of the Congress and they were waiting for the elections to come to dump them in dustbin. Urdu Times published five news reports in which it was said that this country was not ancestral property of the RSS and the BJP so they could snatch voting right of Muslims. Muslims know how to get their right. Dawat on April 19, 2015 wrote special editorial saying that Bal Thackerey was the first person to demand stripping Muslims voting right. He was criticized for that. After 15 years of the incidence, Sanjay Raut has repeated it again by saying that Muslims are used as vote banks and that is causing problem. So this practice has stopped their development. Editorial of Saamana especially targeted leaders of AIMIM and its leaders. The influence of this new organistion is increasing in the Muslim localities. To have a check on them Shiv Sena is instigating Hindus against Muslims. One thing that one can remember is the statement of Atal Bihari Vajpayee who had said that Muslims are necessity of this country. Had they not been there, how Hindus would be united. We would have to call Muslims from outside. The editorial of Saamana said that when political parties like AIMIM start its vicious campaign then Hindus vote against their poisonous campaign. When leaders like Mulayam Singh and Lalu Prasad persuade Muslim votes, pro-hindu parties cannot hide their happiness. They become happy when Imam of Jama Masjid and Azam Khan of Uttar Pradesh indirectly indulged in sycophancy. However, there was nothing like that in the editorial of Saamana on which serious comment could have been made. Had there been any serious programme for the welfare of country and countrymen, they would have presented it in all seriousness. However, Muslims themselves are responsible for the fear among Muslim population. Weekly Nai Dunia on April 20, 2015 issue warned that if voting right of minorities was withdrawn, danger is not for Muslims but for Hindustan. According to its editor Shahid Siddiqui, this is the thinking of Hitlar. People demanding such thing want to make 21 crore Muslims economic, social and political slave. They know that their biggest strength after partition was their votes. It is due to their India Policy Foundation April 16 - May15,

16 votes every political party had to bow before Muslims. India is a secular nation because Muslims have voting right. The moment Muslims are bereft of voting right, democracy in the country would end and dictatorship would take place. India would go to the path of destruction like Pakistan. According to Urdu Times (April 14, 2015), former minister of Maharashtra Arif Naseem Khan demanded that Rajya Sabha membership of Sanjay Raut must be terminated and he must be arrested immediately to run case against him. He claimed that Muslims were citizens of the country and no one would be able withdraw their voting right. Urdu Times on April 17, 2015 editorial wrote that people must answer the question that why Muslim don't come out to vote in big way who were causing ruckus on Shiv Sena's statement of withdrawing of voting right to Muslims. The result is that non-muslims won from Muslim-dominated area. As long as Muslims are not properly utilizing their voting rights, no one would pay attention to them. Muslims would have to understand power of their votes. If Muslims remain indifferent towards elections, no one can save them from destruction. If 80 per cent turnout is taking place in Muslimmajority areas, political parties come to their feet. Muslims at present are like football kicked from one post to other. Dawat wrote in its editorial on April 22, 2015 emphasizing on the demand raised by Shiv Sena over the withdrawal of voting rights to Muslims. Since everyone needs votes of Muslims so they need such candidates that can get votes of Muslims. As far as vote bank politics is concerned, everyone is doing it. If the government tries to do anything, it is alleged to be appeasing the community. Minorities are getting more and more backward and their number is decreasing. There is no doubt about it that after independence they have been politically exploited making them more backward. Political parties like Shiv Sena neither want to do anything for Muslims nor want to allow others to do anything for them. Though label of vote bank is on Muslims but none of the politicians or community is free from it. They talk about secularism and talk about taking everyone along but in reality they do vote bank politics. If Muslim politics is vote bank politics then what Hindutva, Dalit, caste, communal, regionalism is? Recently politicians were attracted towards Dalits on anniversary of Bhim Rao Ambedkar and several programmes were organized across the country. But when Congress leaders talked about the same thing they are criticized. Shiv Sena is already doing Maratha politics and if someone does Muslim politics what is the mistake of Muslims that necessitates withdrawal of their voting rights.

The newspaper alleged that it was an attempt by Kafirs to destroy identity of Muslims so they are using such tactics. There was an attempt to drive Muslims away from their faith. The newspaper reported that as per Hindu religious scholars yoga uplifts spiritual and physical strength. It is an attempt to satisfy God while for Islam it has no connection with Allah. Most of the time Sanskrit hymns are anti- Islamic. The newspaper also criticized that attempt was being made to give it in a form of physical education which is an impure attempt to hide behind it. So it is necessary for Muslims to understand this anti-islamic thing which is against the principal of Islam. It is directly associated with Kufra (anti- Islamic lie). Attempt was also made to misguide people on a book published in Arabic with the headline Yog, Sharia in the light of Islam. Muslims must keep away from Yog and don't participate in Kufra.

He said that Paramhans ji mahraj died in 1919 and temple was built there. But in 1997 this temple was demolished and it was occupied by the land mafia with the support of politicians. But when Hindus tried to build temple there, they were not allowed. Hindu leaders requested that the land must be handed over to them so they can build temple there. Politicians behind it asked for Rs 3.75 lakh for the land which Hindus collected and paid to the leader still land was not handed over to Hindus.

IV Muslim and secular parties on the same platform Radical Muslims and secularists are having sleepless nights over the growing influence of the BJP. They have started emphasizing that if the influence of the BJP is to be stopped, Muslims must have to join hands with secular forces and Dalits. Mumbai-based Urdu Times on April 19, 2015 complained that anti-muslim policies have been adopted after Narendra Modi came to power like ending reservation to Muslims and banning cow slaughter that is harming Muslims immensely. Now attempts are being made to stop admission of Muslims in educational institutions. Demand is being raised for forced family planning of Muslims but Muslim community is keeping silent. Muslim leaders have the only job to shout at the streets, meet ministers and get their pictures clicked to get them published in newspapers. Election results clearly tell that there is no credible leadership among Muslims. Division of secular votes resulted into the victory of Sangh Pariwar. Recently in Bandra by-elections both the Congress and AIIMM lost and Shiv Sena won. Need of the hour is that Muslim must join hands with secular forces and Dalits to form a Sanyukt Morcha. This Morcha must include Dalits, Christians and other minorities only then Muslims could be stopped. India Policy Foundation April 16 - May15,
