Muslim Rashtriya Manch announces ‘warning Pakistan’ Campaign

Muslim Rashtriya Manch (MRM), the largest nationalist social reform movement of Indian Muslims has announced to launch a ‘Warning Pakistan’ campaign from December 6 coinciding the death anniversary of Dr. babasaheb Ambedkar.Ali Daruwala,State Convenor ,Muslim Rashtriya Manch,informed about this campaign in Pune through a press release.

During this month-long campaign the MRM activists will organize dharna, demonstrations, protest marches and submit memoranda issuing warning to Pakistan to vacate Indian territories of Pakistan Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (POJK), Gilgit-Baltistan etc. forcibly occupied by that country in 1947.

The MRM activists will also issue stern warning to former J & K Chief Ministers – Faruk and Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti for their anti-India statements and utterances asking them to leave the country and settle in the countries of their choice.

This decision was announced at the webinar of MRM activists held on December 2, 2020. MRM Patron and Guide Indresh Kumar announced the launch of this campaign as a sequel to earlier “Hum Majboot- Majboot Bharat” campaign held from June 9 to October 2, 2020. During this nationwide drive the MRM activists had contacted over 20 lakh Muslims across the country and collected over 8 lakh “Sankalp Patras” from them for making India strong and self-reliant.

The webinar was attended by all the National Conveners, Co-Conveners, and National Conveners of various cells and over 500 activists from Kashmir to Kanyakumar and Lakshadweep and from Goa-Gujarat to Assam and Manipur.

Addressing the webinar Indresh Kumar said that in this testing period of Covid-19 pandemic the MRM has used technology to keep its activists connected and implement various programs successfully as compared to other social organizations. He congratulated the MRM activists for providing food to the needy in times of the pandemic and boycotting Chinese goods during the Diwali and Id festivals and also presenting the local made earthen lamps (diyas) to their Hindu brethren as a token of ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’.

He said that China is responsible for this Covid-19 pandemic and it has been pursuing its expansionist policy by devouring Tibet and massacring over 12 lakh Buddhist Tibetans. Now also it is playing havoc with the Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang province showing its anti-humanity face to the entire world. Boycotting Chinese goods is the only way to defeat China, he said, congratulating the MRM activists for their boycott of Chinese goods in the festival times.

Commenting on the ‘Hum Majboot-Majboot Bharat’ campaign Indresh Kumar said that other social organizations like Rashtriya Sadbhavana Manch, Vishal Bharat Sansthan etc. also joined the campaign and together we succeeded in collecting over 8 lakh signatures from the Muslims of India dedicating them to making India ‘Atmanirbhar’ under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Referring to his recent visit to J & K, he said Pakistan has been trying to foment troubles in Kashmir since 1948. He said those Indian Muslims who migrated to Pakistan in the wake of Partition of India in 1947, were living there still as stateless persons. Pakistan had not granted 1.40 crore of those Mohajirs citizenship as yet and they are now demanding a separate country for them.

Against this background it was unfortunate on the part of former J & K Chief Ministers to voice anti-India feelings and even seek help from the enemy country like China to ‘liberate’ Kashmir, he said.

He addressed a meeting of Kashmir and Gujjar-Bakarwal Muslims in Jammu which passed resolutions asking Mehbooba Mufti who refused to hold the national tricolor to leave India and seek shelter in the country of her choice.

By another resolution, the meeting also asked Faruk Abdullah to spend his last days in China as his dream of ‘liberating Kashmir with the help of Chinese’ will not be fulfilled in his lifetime.

Indresh Kumar said that the time has come to tell Pakistan in clear terms to vacate the Indian territory of POJK, and Gilgit-Baltistan which it had illegally occupied by force since 1947. The MRM will launch a nationwide campaign from December 6, 2020 to January 10, 2021 holding dharnas, demonstrations, protest marches, press conferences to convey the message to Pakistan in the strongest possible words.

Lauding the MRM role in supporting the Sri Ram janmabhumi movement Indresh Kumar said that the MRM had launched a mass awareness campaign on this issue in 2016 and planned a gathering of MRM activists at Ayodhya in December 2020. But due to Covid-19 protocol, this program is currently postponed to a further date which will be announced later.

However, he appealed the MRM activists to participate in fund collection drive for Sri Ram Mandir in association with Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and collect contribution from the Muslim community that considers Sri Ram as ‘Imam-e-Hind’. The VHP will be launching a fund collection drive from January 15, 2021 to February 27, 2021.

He said that even the RSS Sarsanghchalak Dr. Mohan Bhagwat in his recent address before a select audience representing different religions and sects had reiterated that all Indian are one people irrespective of their religion, caste and creed. Taking this into consideration, we must participate in this fund raising drive and cooperate in creating a positive picture of New India, he appealed. We should strive to become true Indians of Good India (अच्छे भारत के सच्चे भारतीय हैं).

Former BJP Organization General Secretary and presently Akhil Bharatiya Sah-Sampark Pramukh of RSS Ram Lal also addressed the webinar. Describing the MRM as a movement of New India, Ram Lal appreciated the zeal, commitment and dedication of the MRM activists in conveying the right message to the Indian Muslims.

“You have undertaken a very difficult challenge of changing the discourse of the nation from negativity to positivity and have continued to work without caring for criticism. I appeal to you to work with conviction and courage, consistency and commitment and firmness. We are heading towards a favorable situation and will succeed in our mission”, Ram Lal said.

He appealed to the MRM activists to keep contact with the religious leaders, scholars and opinion makers of all sects of Islam to elucidate their support in this mission.
