Akbaruddin Owaisi to PM Modi: 'This country is not your father's property'

[footmarks]

He can whine as much he want, the position of Muslims will not change until they are scattered all over bharat, northern bharati Muslims should migrate to south where Muslim are living in harmony and establish their political base there.

Position of muslims will not change, as long as they remain muslims. The religion is foreign to them, they don't understand it properly and always play victimization card to justify their arrogance.

Noted historian Dr. Tara Chand remarks:

“He (Wali Ullah) appealed to Najib-ud-Daulah, Nizamul Mulk and Ahmad Shah Abdali – all three the upholders of condemned system – to intervene and restore the pristine glory of Islam. It is amazing that he should have placed his trust in Ahmad Shah Abdali, who had ravaged the fairest provinces of the Mogul empire, had plundered the Hindus and Muslims without the slightest compunction and above all, who was an upstart without any root among his own people” (History of the Freedom Movement of India, volume I, 1970, page 180).

Even though the defeat of Hindu Marathas by Abdali could not halt the sliding decline of Mogul Empire, it made Wali Ullah the hero of Indian Muslims and he emerged as main inspiring force for Muslim politics in this country. His Islamic thought was regarded as saviour of the faith and its impact left a deep imprint on Indian Muslim psyche, which continues to inspire them even today. Almost all the Muslim organisations in this country directly or indirectly draw their political inspiration from Wali Ullah.

Wali Ullah died in 1762 but his son Abd al Aziz (1746-1823) carried his mission as a result India faced violent communal disorder for decades. Considering Indian subcontinent no longer Dar-ul-Islam (A land, where Islam is having political power) and British rule as Dar ul-Harb (A land, where Islam is deprived of its political authority), he laid emphasis on jehadi spirit of the faith. Saiyid Ahmad (1786-1831) of Rai Bareli a trusted Salafist disciple of Abd al Aziz launched jehad on the Sikh kingdom but got defeated and killed in battle of Balkot in May 1831. Tired with their failures in re-establishing Muslim rule the followers of Wali Ullah preferred to keep their movement in suspended animation for decades, when the Britishers established their firm grip on this country.

The Sepoy mutiny of 1857 was a turning point in the history of Islamic fundamentalism in India. With its failure Indian Muslims lost all hopes to restore Muslim power in India.(Many Hindus took advantage of this opputunity, this is why RSS is called a traitor by different muslim org.) But successive Ulama in their attempt to keep the movement alive turned towards institutionalised Islamic movement. Some prominent followers of Salfi/Wahhabi movement like Muhammad Qasim Nanutvi and Rashid Ahmad Gangohi drew furter inspiration from the religio-political concept of Waliullah and set up an Islamic Madrassa at Deoband in U.P. on May 30, 1866, which grew into a higher Islamic learning centre and assumed the present name of Dar-ul-Uloom (Abode of Islamic learning) in 1879. Since then, Dar-ul-Uloom, which is more a movement than an institution has been carrying the puritanical tradition of Shah Waliullah and is a semi-Salafi/Wahabi movement inspired by Saudi Salafis.

His insistence for not diluting the cultural identity of Arab in a Hindu-majority environment shows that his so-called reform of Islam was only for a political motive. His obsession to extreme Sunnism, modern Deobandism/Wahabism, is welll known.

Contrary to his projected image of a reformer, Wali Ullah like other militant group of Islamic intellectuals did not appreciate any cultural and social reconciliation with non-Muslims in an integrated society. His communal bias against the political rise of non-Muslim powers like Maratha, Jat and Sikh goes against the theory that Wali Ullah was a Muslim thinker for Islamic moderation. His exclusivist theory favouring political domination of his community all over the world with starting point in India vindicates this point. In the background of his hate-Hindu political move, Wali Ullah may not stand the scrutiny of being a Muslim thinker for rational evaluation of Islam and its moderation.

Combination of Deobandi and Salafi/Wahabi extremism and religio-political strategy of Wali Ullah has become the main source of inspiration for Islamic terrorism as we see today in Pakistan, Afghanistan and India. So long the Muslim leaders and intellectuals do not come forward and re-evaluate the eighteenth century old interpretation of faith (Deobandi and Salafi ideology), any remedy for resolution of on going emotional disorder in society is a remote possibility. It is the social obligation of intellectuals to bluntly identify and confront the Deobandi and Salafi roots of terroism and awaken the moral and economic strength of entire society without any religious or sectarian prejudice.

What a piece of shit, do this scum know that Shah waliullah (ra) is considered noble by Sufis aka Barelvis as well?

Shah Wali Ullah is respected in all sects maybe except among shia, he have nothing to do with Wahhabis, wahhabis were not even born back then.. wahhabiism in subcontinent started with Shah Ismael dehlvi who inspired by book (Kitab ul tawheed) of Ibne Abdul wahhab wrote book call Taqwiyat ul Imaan in which he defined wahhabi version of Tawheed (monotheism) to Muslims of subcontinent.

Position of muslims will not change, as long as they remain muslims. The religion is foreign to them, they don't understand it properly and always play victimization card to justify their arrogance.

it will change, but first they have to decide their home, if they want to remain scattered or they want to unite in south where Muslim already are in good numbers? once they decide to move south things will turn in their way.

2nd its northern piss drinkers who have problems with them, Muslims are living in harmony with southern pig eaters bcoz they are little bit civilized.

MR. A K KHAN IPS ENTERTAINED MURDERS FOR POLITICAL ENTRY INTO MIM PARTY AS PER SIGNALS OF OWISI BROTHERS WHILE MISUSING ENORMOUS POLICE POWERS IN THE CADRE OF COMMISSIONER OF POLICE HYDERABAD

FACT FINDING REPORT BY PUCL, AP

(From 09-05-2012 to 06-06-2012)

PUCL received a representation from Zubeda Begum M/o Late Ibrahim Yafai, aged about 60 years. The content of the representation is, her son Ibrahim Yafai, age 23 years was murdered on 30-04-2011 by MLA AKBARUDDIN OWAISI (MLA Chandrayanguta) and his followers with the cooperation of Mr. A K Khan,IPS( The than Hyderabad Police Commissioner). They are misguiding the court too and further they are harassing the family members of the representative (Victim) to not to take any further movement against the murder of her son Ibrahim Yafai
and odd (Others).

The PUCL, AP, AICPL and Minority Mahila Welfare Association formed a Fact Finding Committee consisting Jaya Vindhyala, Iqbal Khan, Prakash,Riazuddin, Sulthana Begum, Razia Begum, Rasheeda Begum, Romana Begum,Saleem, Aslam, Masaiah, Sujatha, Abraham, Akhtharunnisa Begum,Rajendra Prasad, Dasarath, Saakira Begum and Shoba. The committee
enquired on this matter from 09-05-2012 to 06-06-2012.

Ibrahim Yafai is the son of Brother Mohammed Pehelwan @ Mohammed Bin Omer Yafai. The forefathers of the Yafai family migrated from Yemen to India on an INVITATION BY THE THEN NIZAM NAWAB of HYDERABAD as WRESTLERS. They have plenty of the lands also.

Mohammed Pehelwan had a group of wrestlers, they are trainers of wrestling and they own a training centre also (In old City). They have good relations with the common public. With his support the MIM Party had a huge success in the State and Lok Sabha (Legislature and Parliamentary) elections. Subsequently when Akbaruddin Owaisi of MIM Party, the Candidate for the Chandrayangutta Constituency. Mohammed Pehlwan and his associates were supporting him. (Supported him)

Though Mohammed Pehlwan and his associates were giving funds to the MIM Party and for the development of the Muslim community. Akbaruddin Owaisi as an MLA, after consolidating his position over the constituency, he started making land settlements by creating disputes.
This was observed by Mohammed Pehelwan and his followers and they questioned about these un-constitutional methods. One day Mr. Akbaruddin Owisi started creating disputes in the Pehelwan’s lands. It was an unbearable situation for them.

Mohammed Pehelwan entered into an agreement for 25 acres of land with the SONY GROUP at Bandlaguda area (Ranga Reddy District.) This was occupied by MLA Akbaruddin and his henchmen. They have put this land under the name of “Shahanaz” as a binami name and they were converting(Converted) this land in to plots and (Started)selling the same (Sy No. 84,85,86,15,98,98/1 and 82)(Of (Bandlaguda,(V)(M), Ranga Reddy District). As a result of this Pehelwan left the party with his followers, but Mr. Akbaruddin Owisi and his henchmen
not digesting this(Did not digest the same) and trying to get back him and his associates into the MIM party by creating problems and startedregistering cases against them.
Mr. Mohammed Pehelwan approached court of law and got back his lands by the court. The MIM party leaders and their henchmen were unable to interfere with the properties as the lands were under the supervision of the court. The MIM party leaders and their henchmen were continuously harassing them with the help of police or Revenue authorities and other government agencies like MCH (GHMC) by one hand to another hand. If any Police authorities or other government agencies did not cooperate with the MIM Party leaders or their henchmen illegal acts, they were transferred and they were appointing the officers who supported the MIM Party and who would listen to their
words.

The Sy No. 82 at Bandlaguda area was made as government land and allotted to the weaker section housing colony with the instigation of Akbaruddin Owaisi. On 14-07-2009 it was inaugurated by the then Chief Minister Mr. late Raja shekar Reddy and other ministers present were Smt. Sabitha Indra Reddy, Aanam Ram Narayana Reddy, M Mukesh Goud,Daanam Nagender, Shilpa Mohan Reddy and V Hanmantha Rao, MP, Dr. K Keshava Rao, MP, Syed Azeez Pasha, MP, Penumallu Madhu, MP, M A Khan,Rasheed Ali, MP, Asaduddin Owisi, MP, MLA Akbaruddin Owisi and Hyderabad District Collector Naveen Mittal, Dr. P Pandu Ranga Rao(Engineer in chief, GHMC), MT Krishna Babu, IAS, Special Commissioner GHMC, S P Singh, IAS, Commissioner and Special Officer GHMC and others.
Later on Mohammed Pehelwan approached the court of law and he got the declaration order that the Sy No 82 is private patta land as result Revenue authorities themselves removed the inauguration stone from the land and handed over the land to its owner Mr. Mohammed Pehelwan.
For the inauguration ceremony and other activities on 14-09-2009 there was (spent) huge amount of public fund spent for this. They misguided the Government Machinery, on this still then the Government did not take any steps on them. Due to this incident the people lost faith on the Government. This is shame on the part of the government.

This made MLA Akbaruddin Owisi to visualize that this Pehelwan is the only one person who is not coming in to the clutches of the MIM Party leaders and their henchmen, so he started to continuously harass the Pehelwan and his people with all the possible ways.
We came to know that on 30-04-2011 he called for PAADAYATHRA in the Chandrayangutta Constituency (as per MIM Party), that programme began in the early hours 7a.m itself. At 7a.m Mr Akbaruddin Owisi was present at the MIM Party office in the area and sent his henchmen to Pehelwan’s house, they informed that “AKBAR SAHEB IS CALLING at area MIM Office”, Pehelwan and their family members didn’t respond to their words and they were quite. Again Mr Akbaruddin Owisi and his henchmen {Mr Balal( MLA), Mansoor Awalgi (Corporater) and others} went to Pehlwan’s house. Mr Akbaruddin Owaisi was waiting out side of the house of Mr. Pahelwan’s. His henchmen entered in to the house of Pehelwan’s and started abusing the women folk of Pehelwan’s “thumaare mardom, aap logonke saath so gaye tho marad ban jaathe hai kya, Akbar Saheb ke paas bhejo, marad banaake bhejdethe hai…. Akbar Saaheb BAAHAR KHADA HAI JALDI AAVO BHOL DO… ”, and they left the place. Unable to bare these filthy comments on the women folk, Mr Ibrahim Yafai went to the area office of the MIM Party, taking this asan opportunity the MIM leaders and others beat him seriously. When Ibrahim Yafai was grounded, his uncle came to the spot and stopped the vehicle of MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi who was leaving the area office of the MIM Party after beating Mr. Ibrahim Yafai.

There were scuffle between the Pehelwans and Akbaruddin Owaisi and others. During this Mr. Akbaruddin Owisi fired on Ibrahim Yafai with his weapon (we came to know this weapon is unauthorized weapon, his licensed weapon kept at home as per the commissioner of police, Hyderabad statement). There was so much bleeding to Ibrahim Yafai,blood started to flow out of his wounds and Akbaruddin Owaisi clothes were covered in blood. He was wearing a bullet proof jacket as an inner garment. Immediately Ibrahim Yafai, who was shot ran for some distance and fell down. When Pehelwan’s relatives came to know of this incident, they reached the spot. The gunmen of Mr.Balala (MLA, Malakpet) Mr. Janimiya fired against the Ibrahim Yafai’s brothers–Awad Bin Younus Yafai and Abdullah Bin Younus Yafai were injured. Mr. Issa Bin Younus Yafai brother of Ibrahim Yafai was trying to stop this quarrel between the two groups. When the quarrel came to an end, the uncle of Ibrahim Yafai himself sent Akbaruddin Owaisi to the hospital, thinking that he was injured. Subsequently they saw their own man lying on the road who was fired by Mr. Akbaruddin Owisi and two persons were injured by the Gunmen of Mr. Balala, MLA. THESE THREE WERE TAKEN TO Yashoda Hospital, Malakpet, Hyderabad, where Ibrahim Yafai was declared dead.

Further our enquiries revealed that the Pehelwans went to Mr. Akbaruddin Owaisi, MLA who was at the area’s MIM Party office only to question them regarding filthy abuses to their women folk and not to fight with them, their intention was not to fight with MLA or others as they went with out any arms. There was the marriage of two girls in the Pehalwan Family so they had no intention of quarrelling with Akbaruddin Owaisi and others.Further they stated before the committee, Mr. Balala MLA of Malakpet Constituency has instructed his gunmen Mr. Janimiya to fired at Mr. Afif Bin Younus Yafai who was the brother of Ibrahim Yafai, where as he did not confronted with any body and he tried to stop the quarrel between the two groups.

After this incident the MIM Leaders and their henchmen increased their harassments by creating false cases/complaints up on Pehelwan and their people. Police also started to act according to the instructions of Mr. Asaduddin Owaisi, MP(Hyderabad Constituency) and MLA Akbaruddin Owisi and creating an atmosphere of fear among the people of Chandrayangutta as well as within the Pehelwan people. Now the MIM Party seems to be in panic because of the lack of PARTY FUND, LOW VOTE BANK IN THE UP COMING ELECTIONS, they are unable to raise the party fund with out support of this people as well as police authorities. Land grabbing, land settlements are also slowly going out from their clutches and are facing troubles to organize /conduct the area meetings. This is all happening because the Pehelwans (and his supporters) left the MIM Party. So to maintain him to their fold the
MIM Party is resorted to make the police to register false cases against the pehelwan people. Except the police harassments there is no other private harassment in that area.

Our committee revealed further that the local police, and local politicians want disturbances, false prosecutions to be always to keep the people submissive, monitoring the benefits to the officials and politicians. This has become chronic in this area where the people are helpless. No other political party is allowed in this area. (Even though most of the old city minorities are supporting Telangana State to be formed) There is no approachable track to the government for the people of this area; as such there are constant harassments by the TASK FORCE and others, causing suicide deaths in the old city.

One communist leader came to know the suicide death at old city due to the police harassment. The communist leader went to the deceased house, but the MIM leaders and cadre beat him, he was injured. The government machinery particularly police department stand by as a spectator.

When Mr. A.K. Khan was appointed as the city Police commissioner it was hugely publicized as he was appointed by the M.I.M party and so under his term the crime rate increased in these years. If the party wanted any work to be done it is said that he used to try and give to them.

There is a fashion in the government that the Junior most D.G.P rankers are appointed as the D.G.P instead of the Sincere and Senior officers from the last ten years. It is heavily publicized that Mr.A.K. Khan to obtain the support of the M.I.M party for his appointment as the D.G.P he used to support the party leaders even in their against public welfare activities. It is heavily publicized that before the appointment of Mr. A.K. Khan I.P.S as the Commissioner unbiased towards his duty and after his appointment as the commissioner he used his seat powerful instead of the duty and worked for the personal benefit of some political leaders. The people are saying that due to his unethical behavior it is a black spot for the Indian Police Service.

Prior to this, there was money lenders exploitation at old city. People of this area got rid of the Money Lenders with the help of PUCL. Further the PUCL fought against the illegal grabbing of lands (Bhagamathi heritage), grabbing of houses by the then counselor of MIM Party. But these MIM Party men protected him at that time. But, now the then counselor left from the MIM Party after counseling by the then police authorities who were in charge of the south zone area. Unfortunately the then counselor facing harassments from MIM leaders and Cadre and false prosecutions by the police, as the MIM Party lost the party fund and other benefits from them.

At present the atmosphere of the old city area is turning out to be normal, people of this area have engaged themselves to normal work, to normal living and with this effect the residents of this area are in comfort where as political parties are in an un-satisfaction, why because no one is coming forward to participate in GOONDA POLITICS or OWDYISM or BAD OUTFITS, which are assets of the so called political parties.

For instance, we can take sample example one Mr. Issa a business man who was once contributing all his earnings as the party fund to the MIM Party, participation of party activities. He suffered, loss in his business. As his family members started to grow up. This made him to get distant from the Party and started working for him and his family instead for the party; it resulted in a great loss to the MIM Party. The party opened a rival shop in front of his shop to put him to great loses, started police torture and passing threatenings. Unable to bear this, the wife of Mr. Issa approached the Station House Officer, Chaderghat Police Station, Hyderabad through the media with a
complaint against the illegal acts of the MIM Party Leaders Mr.Akbaruddin Owaisi and others with the cooperation of the then Commissioner of Police, Hyderabad. She explained in detailed what agonies she is facing. This reflects that the MIM Party attitudes are visible in organizing vindictive acts, such as opening a very big new diary farm against the existing prosperous diary farm whose management doesn’t come under the MIM Leaders Favors, and, also publishing a rivalry news paper against the existing popular news paper whose management is independent in nature and do not want to them to be cowdowned.

Political party is dominating and dictating the terms as per their wishes and monopolizing the social order of this area as per their whims and wishes. The disturbances in this area, mostly communal disturbances made political parties glorified when the peace is maintained in this area according the wishes of masses became death knell to the political party of this area ( mostly communal issues created by the leaders of the concerned political parties with the internal understandings). The political party is not ready to accept this atmosphere.

SUGGESTION:

The Government at least now should open their eyes and it should take action on the people who are following/doing unconstitutional methods.
The Government and the Government Machinery should work under the area of constitution itself. It should give importance to the people’s
Human Rights. The Government should punish the real criminals under the constitution, then only the people will have faith on the
government. And the people will start respecting you. Then only the people will repeatedly elect you as their rights protector.

2nd its northern piss drinkers who have problems with them, Muslims are living in harmony with southern pig eaters bcoz they are little bit civilized.

Everyone has a problem with them, they are the problem. They believed in the desert dwellers, while living in green pastures. They went backwards, and that's why they are still backward.

Like I said, those who are still serving their desert dwelling masters are "well Off" living in filthy conditions there. Their adopted (mostly forcefully) beliefs, imported from dim-wit desert dwelling, interbreeding backward humans are the reason they are not prospering.

 

[Lotus_stalk]

Blame this on south Indians who are tolarating this swine. If he have balls he should visit North West balls in India. :/

Don't underestimate people of the south. I think Owaisi must be regretting provoking majority in Hyderabad. South Indian leader Raja Singh takes rallies from middle of Owaisi's Old Hyderabad(hurling indirect insults at Owaisi).

[Mian Babban]

History tells us that Ahmad Shah Durrani massacred thousands of Shia Muslims and Hindus in Kashmir because of local Sunni/Salafi population’s invitation to him to help them undermine the Shia rulers (remanant of Chak dynasty) and Shia population. In middle of the 18th century, when the Mughal Empire had begun its decline, a few Sunni/Salafi Muslim Kashmiri nobles invited Ahmed Shah Abdali, the brutal semi-Salafi ruler of Afghanistan, to liberate their country. Pathans/Pashtuns, like Moghals obliged and over ran Kashmir in 1752. In order to maintain their stranglehold over Kashmir, Abdali’s satraps not only doubled taxes of their impoverished subjects but specifically persecuted the Shia minority with a fanatical vigour as they saw in them a perpetual threat for their puritanical Salafi/Sunni beliefs. Fifty years of Afghan rule were rife with suppression and massacres of Shia Muslims. With Kashgari sowing the seeds of hatred among the Muslim community for political ends Shia’s in Kashmir in subsequent years had to pass through the most atrocious period of their history. Plunder, loot and massacres which came to be known as ‘Taarajs’ virtually devastated the community.

History records 10 such Taarajs also known as ‘Taraj-e-Shia’ in 1548, 1585, 1635, 1686, 1719, 1741, 1762, 1801, 1830, 1872 during which the Shia habitations were plundered, people slaughtered, libraries burnt and their sacred sites desecrated. Such was the reign of terror during this period that the community widely went into the practice of Taqya (temporary or permanent conversion to Sunni sect) in order to preserve their lives and the honour of their womenfolk. Village after village disappeared, with community members either migrating to safety further north or dissolving in the majority faith. The community has yet to recover fully from the shocks of these Taarajs, the last one suffered more than a century ago, and the fear of hidden lurking dangers continues to haunt it to date.(http://edition.presstv.ir/detail.fa/278797.html and http://kashmirobserver.net/news/features/shias-kashmir-socio-political-dilemmas)

Evidence of beheadings of Hindus, Sikhs and Shias by Pashtun Salafist ruler Ahmad Shah Durrani Abadali and his invading thugs. And this happened much before the Saudi, USA, Punjabi establishment’s Deobandi Jihad project in Pashtun areas. History is crue; denial and abuses are the only escape for insecure nationalists.

In his letter to Ahmad Shah Durrani/Abdali, Shah Waliullah advised him for “orders prohibiting Holi and Muharram festivals should be issued” exposed his hostility towards both Hindus and Shias. (Shah Wali Allah and his times by Saiyid Athar Abbas Rizvi, 1980, pp. 209-304)

Ahmed Shah Durrani is also notorious for holocaust of Sikhs in Punjab. When Ahmad Shah Durrani returned for a sixth campaign of conquest (his fifth being in 1759-61), tens of thousands of Sikhs including women and children were mercilessly slaughtered by his forces. In the twilight of dawn, Durrani and his allies surprised the Sikhs, who numbered about 50,000, most of them noncombatants. It was decided that the Sikh fighters would form a cordon around the slow-moving baggage train consisting of women, children and old men. They would then make their way to the desert in the south-west by the town of Barnala, where they expected their ally Alha Singh of Patiala to come to their rescue. An eye witness account describes the Sikhs. “Fighting while moving and moving while fighting, they kept the baggage train marching, covering it as a hen covers its chicks under its wings.” More than once, the troops of the invader broke the cordon and mercilessly butchered the women, children and elderly inside, but each time the Sikh warriors regrouped and managed to push back the attackers. By early afternoon, the large fighting cavalcade reached a big pond, the first they had come across since morning. Suddenly the bloodletting ceased as the two forces, man and beast, resorted to the water to quench their thirst and relax their tired limbs. From that point on, the two forces went their separate ways. The Afghan forces, who had inflicted terrible human losses on the Sikh nation, and had in turn suffered many killed and wounded, were exhausted, having not had any rest in two days. While the living remainder of the Sikhs proceeded into the semi-desert toward Barnala, Ahmad Shah Durrani’s army returned to the capital of Lahore with hundreds of Sikhs in chains. From the capital, Durrani returned to Amritsar and blew up the Harimandir Sahib which since 1757 the Sikhs had rebuilt. As an act of intended sacrilege, the pool around it was filled with cow carcasses It was estimated that 25,000 to 30,000 Sikhs were killed on that horrific day of 5 February 1762. As it is doubtful their entire population would have numbered 100,000, it means one third to a half of all Sikhs perished. The Sikhs were not the only people who were targeted.

In the so called "holocaust", armed Sikh warriors were killed in a battle......its as absurd as saying Babur committed holocaust of Afghans in first battle of Panipat
