The TMMK and MMK in their press release have said that, “The Triple Talaq Bill paves way for imprisonment of innocent Muslim men on the false claim that they have pronounced Triple Talaq and at the same time rendering the Muslim woman and her family desolate.”

The Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) is another ‘Black Act’ that is an unjust law that trounces upon all facets of Justice. The National Investigation Agency in the name of curbing terrorism is indulging in arbitrary and unjust activities.

Protest held in Madurai

About the scraping of the special status of J 7 K, the press release states “It is evident that communal bias has instigated the central Government to abrogate Art 35A and suspend Art 370 from the Constitution, imprison leaders of Kashmir and divide Jammu and Kashmir in to two Union Territories by holding the people of Kashmir by the force of gun.”

The Mob lynching incidents have all been carried out in the name of beef and refusal to chant Jai Shri Ram. The videos of the inhuman acts have been circulated with impunity implying that the perpetrators have the indirect support of the Central Government and the state BJP Governments; said the statement.

Protest in Chennai

“A Country should be governed by the Constitutional Laws with the aim to uphold and safeguard the welfare of the people. The Central Government in contradiction to this objective making use of the brutal majority in the Parliament has brought these Black laws,” said Dr. M.H. Jawahirullah the president of MMK.

Dr. Jawahirullah told twocircles.net, “Around 60,000 people came out to participate in the protest from the 4 cities of Tamil Nadu. Leaders from DMK, Congress, CPM, CPI, Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi; representatives of other NGOs and movements such as People’s watch and Christian Goodwill Movement joined us in our protest.”

“ This mass protest is the beginning, we are going to continue our struggle, he added, “ We will educate the people about these Acts and how they are going to affect us. Already a petition against the abrogation of the special status of J & K has been filed in the SC, we will have our executive meeting in which we will decide what further action we can take to repel these black laws”.

‘The massive agitation that took place yesterday has kindled the spirit of opposition throughout the state and people are demanding their withdrawal,’ Dr. Jawahirullah concluded.

Other prominent leaders who were part of the protest are Central Chennai District President Abdul Salaam, South Chennai District President Ghori (alias) Muhammad Abu Backer, and North Chennai District President F.

The post Muslim organizations in Tamil Nadu protest against the ‘black laws’ enacted by the center appeared first on SabrangIndia.

Voicing his strong opposition, Kishanganj MP said the Bill is against the Constitution, the ‘Shariat’ and women rights and said he wanted to vote against it but couldn’t reach the Parliament on time due to traffic jam. Maulana added that he is against party line on the issue and it should not be passed in Rajya Sabha.

A video of Qashmi’s statement shared on various social media platforms has drawn huge criticism for Congress which is trying hard to move away from the policy of minority appeasement. Twitter users questioned the party for silencing Muslim voices, called it a ‘lame excuse’and party’s ‘damage control mode’.

The harshest criticism came from AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi who wrote on the micro blogging site, ‘May be Hazrat Maulana didn’t knew that the debate lasted for 3 hours but was “struck in traffic of Janedharu”politics’, referring a claim by Congress that its president Rahul Gandhi is a janeu-dhari Hindu.

Talking to TwoCircles.net, Asrarul Haque’s arch-rival AIMIM Bihar chief Akhtarul Iman questioned his silence on Triple Talaq Bill in Lok Sabha. He said his act has disturbed the ‘millat’ and termed it an ‘unforgivable political offence which must have troubled Maulana’s conscience’.
