We are Indian Muslims, have not come from Pakistan: Zameer Ahmad


Bengaluru, Apr 11 (IANS): Former minister and Congress MLA B.Z. Zameer Ahmad Khan on Monday said 'they were Indian Muslims and not from Pakistan and believed in coexistence'.

"We are not Muslims from Pakistan...Peace and coexistence is our first priority. We are Indian Muslims," he said.

Speaking to reporters, Khan charged the ruling BJP for communalising the youth's murder case in his constituency.

"We are living with honour and we will continue to live with dignity in future. We have not come from Pakistan," he reiterated.

Khan, who is one among the prominent Muslim leaders in the state, charged that ruling BJP was carrying out politics out of deaths also.

"This is wrong. My constituency witnessed one or the other communal clashes before I was elected. No communal incident has been reported for a long time after. BJP is planning to create clashes in the constituency and using the murder case of Chandru for vote bank politics," he alleged.

Chandru, a youth was murdered last week following a road rage case. State Home Minister Araga Jnanendra stated that the murder took place as youth did not speak Urdu. The home minister later apologised for the statement.

The case had been handed over to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), after the ruling BJP leaders slammed the police department refusing to accept their report that the murder was due to road rage incident. The BJP leaders also visited the house of the deceased to pay condolences to the family.

"I will not let BJP vitiate the atmosphere. Bengaluru Police Commissioner has clarified about the murder. BJP is still trying to play a communal card in connection with the incident, he stated.

    He has a point. We live in a world where Taliban's treatment of women is not acceptable but Taliban's inspiration is from Barelvi form of Islam which has origin in India. Some in India are disowning Taliban in a argument, but many in India celebrated Taliban's take over of Kabul. Now the question for ZA: No hijab in Pakistan, but those kids who got to school in Karnataka should have the right for hijaab and everyone in Pakistan are demanding in their support. Mr. ZA, Is Pakistan our benchmark or Afghanistan? A little less important detail is that OBL was caught under the nose of Pak Military in Attotabad in Pakistan. Mr. ZA, will you now talk about Muslims? Muslims in Pakistan? Hindus in Pakistan? or where it all meets, in Afghanistan?

    The BJP Govt either at the centre or in the state have nothing to showcase of their Governance and are only engaged in the Divide and rule policy and create communal problems in the state. The Govt in the state is bscoming known as one that is engaged in only Harassing Minorities. All this Divisive agenda is to divert the attention of the common man from their untold sufferings being faced by them.

    Dear Rahul from Jeppu, Your comment should be celebrated day in and day out. Indian Muslims have not come from Pakistan or any other nation. Then, a million dollar question, what is hijaab, halaal, and fatawa alamgiri? Wake up, they accept that they did not come from India, Pakistan or any other nation, but came from Allah and go back to him...in 21st century do not insult our Muslim brother and sisters.
