Guwahati:
Assam Lok Sabha MP and Head of All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) Maulana Badruddin Ajmal who is also the President of Assam State Jamiat Ulama (ASJU) – the highest body of leading organizations of Islamic scholars belonging to the Deobandi- India’s school of thought – reiterated its appeal on Thursday to Muslims of Assam not to sacrifice cows during this week’s Eid-ul-Adha, “with respect for the feelings” of Hindus.
Few of RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) want to end Hindustan by trying to make Hindu Raj. Hindu Raj will never come true even in their dreams. They can’t support the unity between Muslims and Hindus in this country “You don’t eat cows for a day on Eid. We prefer to celebrate with Hindu Bhais. Our ancestors were all Hindus. They came to Islam because it has special qualities. That is to respect the feelings of other religions,” said reporters in Guwahati.
Earlier, Mr Ajmal had said in a statement that performing the ‘Qurbani’ or sacrifice on Eid-ul-Adha, which will be celebrated on Sunday, is an essential duty for Muslims who can afford the ritual and the tradition follows it. sacrificing animals such as camels, goats, buffalo, sheep and cows.
“However, India is a country of people of different communities, ethnicities and religions. Most of the inhabitants of India practice the Sanatan faith, which treats the cow as a sacred animal,” he said.
He also asked people to respect the Assam Cattle Preservation Act 2021, passed last year, which prohibits the sale or offer of beef or beef products in any area “predominantly inhabited” by Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Jains and others. “non-beef products”. eating communities”.
Responding to the controversy surrounding former BJP spokesman Nupur Sharma’s comments about the Prophet Muhammad and the horrific killings in response, Mr Ajmal said: “Muslims should not respond. Instead, they should pray that God brains gives to people like Nupur Sharma. Decapitating those who talk about it are stupid.”
The AIUDF chief also denied rumors that the party could vote for BJP candidate Droupadi Murmu in the presidential election.
“The NDA (National Democratic Alliance) has not contacted us. We have the numbers that we can influence, but have only been approached by the opposition,” Mr Ajmal said.
