الهند: الأحزاب الإسلامية وقدرتها على تحقيق مصالح المسلمين

خبر من مصادر إنجليزية.

أكد عدد من المراقبين ورموز العمل الإسلامي في "الهند" أن فشل الأحزاب السياسية العامة في رعاية مصالح الأقلية المسلمة، دفع المسلمين إلى الثقة في قدرة الأحزاب الإسلامية الناشئة على السعي لحماية مصالح المسلمين.

ويأتي إنشاء الأحزاب الإسلامية في إطار إنشاء المجتمعات الدينية المختلفة للأذرع السياسية التي تُمثلها، وبرغم الضغوط والعراقيل التي تعترض طريق الأحزاب الإسلامية التي يُعد مجلس اتحاد المسلمين بـ"حيدر آباد" أحدها، والذي حصد مقعدين ببرلمان الولاية، علاوة على عدد من مقاعد المجالس المدنية والمؤسسية؛ مما قلَّص المقاعد التي تسيطر عليها الأحزاب ذات الخلفية الهندوسية؛ المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.

‘Muslim’ political parties are fraught with danger

For Syed Ubaidur Rahman(Sify) long, many Muslims are of the view that their issues can be solved by Muslim political parties. Many community leaders while talking about the failure of mainstream political parties in taking care of Muslim issues rue the fact that they have failed the Muslims.

While there may be some truth in their anguish and lack of trust in mainstream political parties in the country, are Muslim political parties the panacea that will take care of Muslims and solve all their issues.

This is something that has pitted one section of intelligentsia among the community against the other. In the last couple of years Muslims have experimented with political parties in almost every part of the country. Many religious parties too have launched their political arms, and while some of them seem to have achieved a modicum of success, the others have not.

Hyderabad based Majlis Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) of Asaduddin Owaisi and Akbaruddin Owaisi has been more fortunate than Ajmals in its endeavor to extend its reach to different parts of the country.

Largely a party confined to old Hyderabad in Telangana till very recently, the MIM led by the fiery duo has seen a meteoric rise in its fortunes.

When the votes were being counted following the last assembly elections in Maharashtra, the party caught the fancy of almost everyone. At one point they seemed to be winning at least six seats in state assembly. Though they ended up winning two assembly seats in the state and losing at least four other seats with slender margins, their achievement was huge. If that was not enough, the party came up with even better performance in civic bodies’ elections earlier this year, cutting Congress and NCP votes in many corporations.

Now the party is working overtime in Uttar Pradesh and Delhi to expand its reach in the Hindi heartland where Muslims have sizeable population.
