New Delhi: Jamaat-e-Islami Hind on Saturday gave a clear call to the people of the country to defeat communal forces in the upcoming elections for five state assemblies and Lok Sabha.
In the press briefing at the JIH headquarters in the national capital, National President of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind Syed Jalaluddin Umari made the statement and noted that communalism is a big threat to the democratic and pluralistic structure of the country, and votaries of fascism must be kept from power.
JIH chief was accompanied by General Secretary Nusrat Ali and national secretaries Mohammad Salim Engineer, Mohammad Ahmed and Ejaz Ahmed Aslam.
"Jamaat-e-Islami Hind is of the view that in the prevailing situation in the country, communalism and fascism is a big threat which has now assumed dangerous proportions. The menace has endangered democracy and secular ethos of the country, pluralistic structure of the society and existence and identity of minorities," said Ameer-e Jamaat.
He said Jamaat has decided to awaken the people to use their vote with full responsibility in the elections and vote for the candidates who have good character and clean image in the society, and can combat communalism and fascism.
He further said that in the election-bound states, Jamaat will release people's manifesto to explain Jamaat's stand and create awakening in the people. With the help of people, workers of Jamaat will evaluate the candidates and present to them the manifesto and demands. After thorough assessment, they will decide to support those candidates who can defeat candidates of fascist forces and who are also on higher moral grounds among the existing candidates.
While condemning the bomb blasts that are claiming innocent lives, Jamaat leaders said such blasts have always been used by some political parties for electoral gains.
They also said that communal riots are also being engineered and executed for the similar ulterior motives. Jamaat demanded thorough probe into the Patna blasts and stringent punishment for the culprits.
