The irony is that pro BJP -RSS\nwebsite OPINDIA.com<\/a> is\nimplicitly expressing it’s sympathies for Aysha Renna who had braved the\nphysical attack by the police in Jamia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This once again underlines\nthe propensity of all shades of fundamentalists \/ communalists to converge\nagainst the left. The reality is however, completely different :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salutes to the people of\nKondotty who said NO to Maududism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The joint programme at\nKondotty (Malappuram, Kerala) that was held on Saturday was the result of a\nmeeting held on 24 December at the League House at Kondotty, at the initiative\nof the Muslim League and eminent citizens. The mass rally that was held on\nSaturday was decided upon based on clear decisions arrived at during the\nmeeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The programme had the\nparticipation of temple and mosque committees, religious, social and cultural\norganisations, clubs, all political parties (except BJP), and traders’\norganiations. The rally was supposed to start from Kodangad to the Vaidyar\nMemorial which is about 5 km away from the starting point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the CPI(M) and the AP\nSunni faction of Muslims also kept aside differences of opinion to cooperate\nwith the League for the joint programme, there were clear guidelines laid out\nby the committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There would be the national\nflag at the front of the rally. No flag of any other organisation would be\nused. Behind the banner, in the front row would be the MLA, Municipal\nCouncillors, and one leader each of all political parties. Only slogans that\nwere pre-decided by the committee shall be used. In the public meeting at the\nend, there would be an introduction by the Convenor of the committee, and\noath-taking led by the Municipal Chairperson. No other speeches would be there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All these guidelines were\nfollowed. There was just one change – the MLA was allowed to make one\nannouncement on stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, what did the Islamist\nfundamentalist Jamaat e-Islami do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the previous day\nonwards, they campaigned that Ayesha Renna would be leading the rally. When\nthat did not work, they tried to get her at the front of the rally and hijack\nthe protest. That too didn’t work. When the organisers concluded the programme\nby thanking everybody, the Jamaat e-Islami guys made a ruckus, got a mic and\nRenna gave a political speech of the Jamaat e-Islami.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same stage had leaders of\nthe CPI(M), DYFI and so on, who could have responded to the Jamaat e-Islami’s\nrubbish. But the decision of the committee was something else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus the people told her,\nthis is a common platform. If you want to deliver the speech of your\norganisation, do it somewhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jamaat e-Islami’s Ayesha\nRenna claimed that some people were put behind bars for taking part in protests\nagainst the CAA. The people she was referring to were those who destroyed\npublic property during a hartal called by a few organisations led by the SDPI\n(the political party of the Islamist fundamentalist Popular Front of India,\nnotorious for chopping off the hand of a college teacher some years ago). The\nhartal was more or less a failure, and the police is mandated to follow the law\nand court orders regarding hartals. DYFI activists who stopped Yeddyurappa when\nhe came to Kerala have been remanded for 14 days. Such things are to be\nexpected when illegal acts are committed. This doesn’t mean that no protest\nwhich is illegal should be staged. Just that the protestors should be ready to\nface the repercussions as well. Political organisations who are experienced in\norganising protests don’t go around lamenting when some of their activists are\nbooked by the police for staging protests defying the law when necessary. They\nexpect such things to happen, and are prepared for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the Jamaat e-Islami\ncouldn’t but help coming to the defence of their ideological brethren. Forging\nthe widest possible unity for the common cause of fighting the CAA-NRC is the\nleast of their concerns. They would be happy if the CAA-NRC is not withdrawn.\nThey are perfectly fine with a Hindu Rashtra, as their founder Maududi said.\nThen it will be clear to the Muslims that there is no place for them in India.\nThen they can straightaway fight for the establishment of the Islamic State,\nled by the Jamaat e-Islami.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To return to the basic issue, there have been a number of programmes against CAA-NRC in Kerala, organised by joint platforms of organisations which have been long-time rivals. There was a protest programme in which both the Chief Minister and the Opposition Leader of Kerala observed satyagraha. There have been programmes organised by Muslim organisations, addressed by leaders belonging to various political parties including the CPI(M), Muslim League and the Congress. In none of these protests did the leaders of the political parties attack each other’s parties. They understood that these are joint programmes for a specific cause on which there is a common minimum understanding. If there are criticisms to be made against each other, that is done in other platforms, not in common platforms. The Maududist Jamaat e-Islami, however, did not bother to respect such democratic courtesies. In any case, their founder Maududi was opposed to democracy, because democracy would amount to human beings ruling themselves, while what the Jamaat e-Islami stands for is the “rule of God” (which effectively translates to the rule of a few religious leaders). Jamaat-e-Islami is fascist in Pakistan and Bangladesh where they have been enjoyed State power. In India their chances are slim, but that doesn’t make their ideology any less hideous. The people of Kondotty have said, “\u00a1No pasar\u00e1n!” (They shall not pass) to Maududist proto-fascism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
