Maulana Muhammad Usman Rehmani Ludhianvi, the Shahi Imam of Punjab, led a protest against terrorism after Friday prayers outside the historic Jama Masjid in Ludhiana in the wake of Monday’s blast near the Red Fort in Delhi.
The Shahi Imam added, “Islam never, under any circumstances, permits attacks on unarmed, innocent, ordinary citizens. Then who are these people who repeatedly shower bombs and bullets upon defenceless people, and whose names surface before Muslims?”
Calling for strict and swift action by the Centre against those involved in terror activities “so that a clear message can be sent to the traitors”, Ludhianvi said, “Terrorism has no religion. Those arrested so far in connection with terror activities across the country include people with different kinds of names, not belonging to any one religion. Therefore, people using social media should also understand that it is wrong to target any one religion or community with hatred after a terrorist attack.”
Ludhianvi comes from a family of freedom fighters who opposed the formation of Pakistan during the Partition. The Majlis Ahrar Islam, the organisation currently headed by him, participated not only in India’s freedom struggle, but also led movements against the nation’s ‘traitors’.
The Shahi Imam reiterated his appeal to Muslims across the nation to raise their voice against terrorism, and to make the society aware of antisocial elements who try to link terrorism with Islam.
