الهند: التهم الملفقة تفسد حياة مسلمي الهند

خبر من مصادر إنجليزية.

أكد "مهد شهيد" - عضو "جامعة أليجار الإسلامية" الهندية في تصريحات صحفية - أن التهم الملفقة التي توجهها السلطات الهندية للمسلمين تؤدي لتدمير وإفساد حياتهم؛ حيث يقضون أعمارهم سنوات خلف القضبات، ثم يتم تبرئتهم في النهاية بعد تدمير حياتهم وضياعها.

وجاءت تلك التصريحات خلال فعاليات الحلقة الدراسية التي عقدت بعنوان: "التحالف التقدمي الوحدوي وتوقعات المسلمين"؛ حيث حضر العديد من رموز المجتمع الإسلامي والسياسي ورجال الشرطة، والتي اتهمها الحضور بتلفيق التهم وممارسة تمييز ضد المسلمين وبيروقراطية موروثة عن الاحتلال البريطاني.

وطالب الحضور بضرورة اتخاذ إجراءات حاسمة تجاه تلك المواقف، وعدم التضحية بالمسلمين في الصراع السياسي، وأن تقوم الحكومة بتعويض المسلمين المتضررين؛ المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.

False Terror Cases Rips Indian Muslims Lives

Left for years behind the bars, a growing number of Indian Muslim youth are falling victim to the government racial profiling after being falsely targeted in terror charges.

"Muslim youth are charged with terrorism and are later acquitted," said Mohd Shahid of Aligarh Muslim University told Parda Phash news portal on Sunday, September 1.

“This destroys them and their families.”

Shahid was speaking at a seminar on United Progressive Alliance (UPA) and Muslim Expectations, organized by the Aligarh Movement magazine at the India Islamic Cultural Centre.

Attendants attributed police anti-Muslim discrimination in India to the bureaucratic and police system inherited from the British.

"No change has come in the mindset of police and administration, so nothing can be done till the mindset is changed," Mohammad Adeeb, MP, said

Congress leader Anees Durrani urged Muslim youth who are framed in false terror cases to seek compensation from the government.

Journalist Ashish Khetan shared a similar opinion.

“There are many instances where Muslim youths have been wrongly framed in terror cases," Khetan said.

"There should be no politics of victimhood. There should be justice for all, the innocents who are killed in terror incidents and those who are wrongly blamed for it.”

There are some 140 million Muslims in Hindu-majority India who have repeatedly complained of being selectively and unfairly targeted by anti-terror police.

In 2012, a wave of Muslim protests sparked across India to denounce the unfair targeting of Muslims in the name of fighting terrorism.

They also accuse authorities of feeding stereotypes about their religion.

According to information obtained under Right to Information (RTI) Act, out of 1,222 under trial in Alipur Central Jail as of December 2011, 530 were Muslims.

Similarly, out of 2,200 under trial in UP’s Ghazaibad jail, 530 were Muslims. Data received from other prisons of states are equally disquieting.
