Riyadh/KSA: In an event organized by the overseas chapter of the India Islamic Cultural Center in Riyadh, Minister of Panchayati Raj in the Government of Uttar Pradesh Mr. Kamal Akhtar gave assurance that he would exert efforts to facilitate the allotment of land for the construction of IICC branch in Lucknow. In this connection he said that he will discuss this matter with the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh Mr. Akhilesh Yadav to establish an ICC Center on the lines of the ICC headquarters in Delhi. The minister added that should the need arise; he would be happy to meet with a delegation of IICC to chalk out the future plan as he is personally interested in the project.
The minister emphasized that fascist forces are creating hatred against Muslims. To counter this hatred it is important to communicate the true picture of Islam and Muslims through IICC centers across the length and breadth of India. Mr. Kamal Akhtar was all praise for the current IICC president Mr. Sirajuddin Qureshi, who has been focusing on the personality development and vocational training of Muslim boys and girls.
At a dinner banquet organized in his honor, he interacted with the prominent members of the Indian community, allayed their concerns and answered their questions. Answering a question, Akhtar declared that the UP government was pursuing a development agenda with sincerity. However, he said that India’s Federal government along with some sections of the paid media is bent upon sullying the image of the UP government. The partisan media ignores positive developments in the state and highlights negative reports to paint the UP governments in a bad picture.
Referring to Muzaffarnagar riots, the minister explained that UP government was doing all within its means to prosecute the perpetrators of the riot. He added that most of the accused have been put behind bars. He said that his party’s government acted swiftly and decisively to prevent the riots from spreading across the state by deploying the army within eight hours. A memento of appreciation from the IICC was also presented to the minister.
Earlier, IICC convener in Riyadh, Mr. Murshid Kamal highlighted the vision and mission of IICC. He shared with the audience the plan to set up IICC centers in Patna, Lucknow and Hyderabad. He said that aims and objectives of IICC are to promote inter-religious harmony and coexistence, and to project the true image of Islam. He added that IICC is well on its way towards achieving the goals set out by its founding fathers under the dynamic leadership of Mr. Sirajuddin Qureshi.
A documentary on the ICC was also shown to the audience.
