Ref. No. MBMC/09/78[P] Dated:18.01.2009


ALIGARH: The Millat Bedari Muhim Committee [MBMC], Aligarh, a non political and social organization working for the secular and democratic values in the country, condemns the terrorist strikes in the country. The MBMC believes that terrorism is a menace that deserves condemnation in all its forms and manifestation. It should be tackled for peaceful and meaningful co-existence of mankind. Selective war on terror will not yield any result. On the other hand, it will generate more terrorism.

In this regard, The Millat Bedari Muhim Committee [MBMC] organized a seminar on the theme of “War on Terror: Myth & Reality” on January 17, 2009 [Saturday] at Arts Faculty Lounge, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh [Uttar Pradesh] INDIA. Shri Amaresh Misra, a renowned Journalist & Historian delivered key-note address and grace the occasion as a chief guest. Prof. [Dr.] V. K. Abdul Jaleel, Registrar, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh presided over the function.

Speaking in the seminar, Mr. Jasim Mohammad, President, MBMC, said, “Terrorism is a great threat for India. But it is strange that Indian state never tried to tackle terrorism in true spirit. As soon as any activity like a bomb-blast takes place, within minutes media and investigative agencies pronounce judgment. And they try to establish a myth that a particular community is behind the attacks and local police start their operation.” He also demanded the judicial inquiry in the death of ATS Officers Shri Hemant Karkare, Vijay Salasker and Ashok Kamte during Mumbai attack.

Delivering the key-note address, Shri Amaresh Misra, defined the difference between terror and terrorism in the perspective of history and said terror starts from the evil and terrorism comes from injustice.” He also said, “Modern form of terrorism is based on fiction that human being writes. Today terrorism has become a business and a weapon in the hands of Imperialist forces like America and Israel.” He also said, “Imperialists forces like America and Israel have adopted terrorism as a weapon to attack on other countries and to damage and destroy the civil movements and resistance forces in the countries.” He further added, “Behind all terrorist strikes, there is an idea of Zionism. Business friendly evil approaches are involved in the terrorist activities. Now fascist and communal forces are committing terrorist crimes but blaming others. Now terrorist activities are being perpetrated on the pattern of underworld. In this terrorism, corporate Business class and Western Bankers are actively participating to dominate over the Nations. East India Company tried to change the mentality of Indians on the pattern of Latin America and South Africa but Indian Muslims and Santali Dharamis defeated their ideas. Due to this historical background, they want to take revenge from India. They want to pressurize India and want to strengthen their agents in the countries. When Raj Thakare talks about the banning on ‘Chhat Pooja’ and Narender Modi speaks in favour of ‘Hindutva’, they are part of that conspiracy.”

On 26th November, 2008 Mumbai terrorist strikes, Shri Amaresh Misra said, “It seems that MOSSAD was behind the Mumbai attack.” He described the Mumbai attack in the light of historical perspective. On 26th November,2008 whatever happened in Mumbai is a conspiracy. This was planned only to kill Shri Hemant Karkare because few days ago, he apologized in front of Mumbai Muslim intellectuals that there is no organization like Indian Mujahideen and he bravely challenged the western oriented myth of terrorism.” He criticized the role of Mumbai Police during November Mumbai attacks. He further said, “Killers of Mahtama Gandhi are the killer of Shri Hemant Karkare. He also demanded, from Indian Government to setup Judicial Inquiry in the Death of ATS officers and to setup High Level Intelligence Agency for the probe of Mumbai Attacks instead of Mumbai Police.

Presiding over the seminar, Prof. (Dr.) V.K. Abdul Jaleel, Registrar. Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh appreciated the stand of the Millat Bedari Muhim Committee and said, “Terrorism is a big threat for the Nation. We should fight against it together.”

Prof. Razaullah Khan, Chairman, Civil Engg. Department, AMU said, “Terrorism has no religion. It should not be associated with any religion.” He condemned the Israeli aggression in Gaza and demanded from Indian government to rethink its relationship with Israel.

Dr. Mohammad Shahid, Former Secretary AMU Teachers’ Association, said, “Dual approach can not stop the terrorism. Whenever any terrorist strike happens, a particular group, especially Muslims are being targeted for the attacks. It is condemnable.” He also said, “If after Tribunal Court’s clean chit to SIMI could be banned, why Abhinav Bharat can’t be banned?

Dr. Arshi Khan, Department of Political Science, AMU, Dr. Ashutosh Kumar, Department of Hindi, AMU, M. Mohsin Israeli Advocate, Supreme Court of India, New Delhi and Prof. Humayun Murad Ex- President, AMUTA & Former Controller Of Examinations & Admissions, AMU also expressed their views on the topic.

The seminar started with the recitation of the Holy Qur‘aan by Mr. Nadeem Ashraf. Mohsin Raza Khan, Hony. Secretary, the MBMC delivered welcome speech and Salfiya Hakeem presented vote of thanks. Ms. Vardah Ayesha Khan conducted the seminar.
