NEW DELHI: The apex body of Indian Muslim organizations, All India Muslim Majlis-e Mushawarat (AIMMM), has condemned the wave of violence the country is facing since the advent of the Modi government at the center.

Zafarul-Islam Khan, national President of the AIMMM, said in a statement on Thursday that “the latest murder of two Dalit kids and the vile attack on their parents in BJP-ruled Haryana by so-called upper caste goons only reinforces our conviction that the Modi government is unable and unwilling to stop the continuous violence by people belonging to ultra Hindutva outfits.”

He added: “Riots, lynching, attacks on churches, mosques and houses of Muslims, Dalits, Adivasis (tribals) and Christians have become the norm now due to the silent support enjoyed by these hate-mongers of the Sangh Parivar (Hindu nationalists) who include some members of the Union Cabinet and the ruling party legislators.”

Khan charged: “They have created an atmosphere where violence has become acceptable. Soft verbal condemnations to befool world public opinion and payment of ex-gratia amounts are meaningless if the culprits and criminals are not brought to justice.”

He said that Modi government must either govern according to the Constitutions and laws of the land “or pack its bags.”
