NEW DELHI — Prominent Muslim organisation Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, headed by Maulana Mehmood Madani, has offered legal aid to all those “unjustly imprisoned” in the police crackdown after communal violence rocked Nuh in Haryana on 31 July.
The legal support was assured as a high-level Jamiat delegation visited the riot-affected areas of Mewat on Saturday and addressed the legal and humanitarian aspects to seek justice for those falsely booked for the violence.
The delegation also assessed the ongoing rehabilitation efforts and legal actions required to provide relief to the arrested persons.
The delegation, led by General Secretary Maulana Hakimuddin Qasmi, and Jamiat Legal Affairs head Maulana Niaz Ahmed Farooqui, also comprised other Jamiat members. It decided to assist in rebuilding the homes demolished by the administration.
The Jamiat delegation conducted a formal meeting with local lawyers in Nuh in its endeavour to provide justice to the affected people. Renowned local advocate Tahir Roparia has been assigned by the Jamiat to look after all the cases on behalf of the organisation.
Maulana Farooqui was quoted by media outlets as saying that the Jamiat has received 114 applications and approximately 300 individuals have been arrested in Mewat.
He also added that Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind is committed in providing legal assistance in accordance with the country’s framework of law and will exert every effort to secure justice for them.
“There are many innocents who have been wrongly accused in the violence, in most cases they are the single breadwinners of the family and we have decided to collectively support them by offering whatever legal aid we can. The heinous acts committed by miscreants, followed by the government’s unjust use of bulldozers, have inflicted immense mental and physical suffering on the affected population. The Jamiat’s priority is not only to support these individuals psychologically but also to aid those who are in dire need,” Maulana Farooqui said.
