NEW DELHI: Law-enforcers
in the city are keeping a close watch on the activities of an Islamic
radical group - shariah4hind - that has given the call for a mass rally
around the Parliament to demand the enforcement of the Shariah laws. The
group, through its website shariah4hind.com, has denounced the Indian
Constitution and asked Indian Muslims to protest on March 2 and 3. The
website has been blocked after Delhi Police received a complaint in this regard. The Bhagat Singh Kranti Sena has also petitioned Delhi high court to stop this rally.
The government has been requested not to issue visa to Sheikh Anjem Choudary, the London-based leader of the group, as the rally could create communal tension in the country. But, Choudary has announced they will hold a video conference with other leaders in Lebanon on March 2 and 3 and broadcast it.
The website, shariah4hind.com claims to have issued a fatwa against Indian political leaders and the Indian Constitution, calling the move of their group as "India's biggest Muslim uprising". The website claims that their first targets will be Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, senior BJP leader L K Advani, Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi and Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi. The website has a countdown timer to the event, which has sent the agencies into a tizzy.
Choudary spoke to TOI over telephone from London. He advocated for the Shariah law: "According to the Shariah, Muslims are not allowed to participate in the elections, which have been going on in India, or vote for any party like BJP, Congress or SP. Muslims must not abide by any other law but the law of Allah."
Senior Delhi Police officers said they will not allow any such rally in the city. Sources said they will also try to stop the broadcast of live speeches of Choudary and Sheikh Omar Bakri Muhammad, worldwide leader of Al-Muhajiroun, on March 3.
Choudary further told TOI that if he does not get the visa from Indian High Commission, he would go ahead with the programme and ask all the Muslims to gather near the Parliament. The website claims that the protesters would assemble at the Parliament from Raisina Road, Rajya Sabha Marg and Red Cross Road.
"A Delhi Police officer had also called me up, asking me to cancel the programme; but I told him that it will not be cancelled as we don't abide by your laws or courts. They cannot stop Muslims from rising," he said.
Delhi Police said the content of the website is defamatory in nature, and if needed, they might register a case against it.
