    Memorandum seeks early decision on pending applications since 2022; calls for lawful, transparent and equal enforcement of noise pollution regulations across all religious places

    Dehradun | Nation Pulse 24
    A delegation led jointly by Dehradun City Qazi Mufti Hashim Ahmad Qasmi and former BJP Councillor Aftab Alam met Dehradun District Magistrate Dr. Ashish Chauhan on Saturday to discuss issues concerning loudspeakers used for the call to prayer (Azan) at mosques.
    During the meeting, the delegation submitted a detailed memorandum requesting that any administrative action relating to loudspeakers be carried out strictly in accordance with the law and established legal procedures. The delegation also urged the administration to ensure that mosque management committees or the City Qazi’s office are formally informed before any action is taken so that compliance with prescribed norms can be ensured within the stipulated time.
    The memorandum further requested that the provisions of the Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000 be implemented uniformly across all religious institutions, without discrimination.
    According to the memorandum, more than 20 mosques in Dehradun had submitted applications in 2022 seeking permission for loudspeaker use in compliance with the directions of the Supreme Court of India, the Uttarakhand High Court, and the State Government. However, despite nearly three years having passed, the applications remain pending, with neither approval nor rejection communicated by the district administration.
    The delegation stated that recent police action against loudspeakers at certain mosques was reportedly based on the absence of official permission, even though the concerned mosque committees had already applied within the prescribed time. It argued that administrative action before deciding pending applications is inconsistent with the principles of natural justice, due process, and good governance.

    The memorandum requested the District Magistrate to:
    Decide all pending loudspeaker permission applications submitted since 2022 at the earliest.
    Grant permission to eligible mosques in accordance with the applicable rules and prescribed standards.
    Inform mosque management committees if any documents or formalities remain incomplete and provide them an opportunity to comply.
    Refrain from removing loudspeakers from mosques without following due legal procedure until pending applications are decided.
    Establish a transparent, time-bound, and fair permission mechanism to prevent similar situations in the future.
    The delegation also assured the administration that all mosque management committees would fully comply with the Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000, court directions, and all conditions prescribed by the district administration while continuing to cooperate in maintaining public peace, law and order, and communal harmony.
    Among those present were social activist Khurshid Ahmad, Latafat Hussain, President of Tanzeem Rahnuma-e-Millat, Ameer Ahmad Qureshi, Secretary of Jama Masjid Paltan Bazaar, Haji Dilshad Qureshi, Master Mustaqeem Hasan, Tauseef Khan, Mufti Tahir Qasmi, Israr Ahmad, and several other community representatives.
    Notably, this is regarded as the first major public initiative undertaken by City Qazi Mufti Hashim Ahmad Qasmi after assuming office.

    Uttarakhand Muslims Send a Clear Political Message: Our Vote Will No Longer Be About Defeating Someone, But About Securing Our Future

    Uttarakhand Assembly Elections 2027: The vote should now be based on education, employment, development, constitutional values and a concrete agenda — not fear, emotions or negative politics

    Dr. J. Usmani

    Nation Pulse 24

                  As Uttarakhand moves towards the 2027 Assembly elections, the political ground is gradually beginning to heat up. The BJP, Congress and other political parties will soon sharpen their electoral strategies, select candidates and work out their political and social equations.

    But this time, political parties in Uttarakhand need to understand one thing clearly:

    The parameters of Muslim voting politics must change.

    The vote should no longer be cast merely to defeat someone.

    It should not be driven by fear.

    It should not be dictated by emotions.

    The vote must be for the future of our children, better education, employment opportunities for the youth, economic progress, constitutional rights and the overall development of Uttarakhand and India.

    The message for 2027 is clear: the vote must be based on programmes and performance, not fear and negative politics.

    Don’t Tell Us Whom to Fear — Tell Us What You Will Do

    For years, particularly during elections, Muslim voters have often been told about the dangers they may face if a particular political party comes to power.

    But the question must now change.

    Don’t just tell us whom we should fear. Tell us what you will do if you come to power.

    What is your programme for improving the education of our children?

    What is your roadmap for creating employment opportunities for our youth?

    What will you do to support small businesses, artisans and self-employed young people?

    How will you improve schools, colleges, hospitals, roads and basic infrastructure in backward and neglected areas, including Muslim-majority localities?

    How will you ensure that the benefits of government welfare schemes reach every deserving citizen without religious discrimination?

    And most importantly, will you openly stand for the equality, dignity, security and constitutional rights of every citizen?

    In 2027, political choices should be determined by the answers to these questions.

    If You Want Our Vote, Show Us Your Development Roadmap

    Muslim voters have a significant electoral presence in several constituencies across Uttarakhand’s plains, particularly in districts such as Haridwar, Dehradun, Udham Singh Nagar and Nainital.

    Therefore, every political party seeking Muslim votes — including the Congress — must understand that remembering the community only during elections will no longer be enough.

    A legitimate question must be asked:

    If our votes contribute to your political victories, where is our meaningful participation in your organisation, leadership and decision-making process?

    If Muslim political workers spend years strengthening a party, why should their role remain limited to mobilising crowds, raising slogans, putting up posters and doing groundwork during elections?

    Muslims are equal citizens of Uttarakhand. Their political participation cannot be viewed only through institutions dealing specifically with minority affairs.

    They are equally concerned with education, healthcare, industry, business, infrastructure and the overall development of the state.

    If political parties want votes, they must also offer representation, respect and a credible development agenda.

    Being a Muslim Candidate Alone Will Not Be Enough

    This message is not only for political parties. It is equally important for Muslim political leaders.

    In 2027, merely being a Muslim candidate should not automatically guarantee political support.

    A Muslim candidate must face the same questions as any other candidate.…

  • Muslim Patriots Who Helped Shape India: Remembering the Freedom Fighters and Soldiers Who Served the Nation

    Muslim Patriots Who Helped Shape India: Remembering the Freedom Fighters and Soldiers Who Served the Nation

    Muslim Patriots Who Helped Shape India: Remembering the Freedom Fighters and Soldiers Who Served the Nation

    By Nation Pulse Desk

    India: India’s freedom was won through the sacrifices of countless men and women belonging to different religions, regions, and communities. Muslim freedom fighters, revolutionaries, political leaders, and soldiers played an important role in the struggle against British colonial rule and later in defending independent India. Historians widely acknowledge that India’s independence was the result of a united national movement rather than the efforts of any single community.

    Among the most revered names is Ashfaqulla Khan, who was executed by the British on December 19, 1927, for his role in the Kakori Conspiracy. His friendship with Ram Prasad Bismil and his sacrifice remain enduring symbols of national unity and patriotism.

    Another towering figure was Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, one of the foremost leaders of the Indian National Congress and independent India’s first Education Minister. Begum Hazrat Mahal emerged as one of the leading faces of the Revolt of 1857, while Bakht Khan commanded rebel forces in Delhi against the British during the same uprising.

    The freedom movement was further strengthened by the contributions of Dr. Mukhtar Ahmed Ansari, Hakim Ajmal Khan, Rafi Ahmed Kidwai, Asaf Ali, Yusuf Meherally, Maulana Mohammad Ali Jauhar, Maulana Shaukat Ali, Hasrat Mohani, Badruddin Tyabji, Syed Hasan Imam, and Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan. These leaders organized movements, inspired public participation, endured imprisonment, promoted national unity, and played key roles in India’s struggle for self-rule.

    Many historians also regard Tipu Sultan as an important early symbol of resistance against British expansion in India. Although he lived before the organized national freedom movement of 1857–1947, his military resistance against the British East India Company continues to be remembered as a significant chapter in India’s anti-colonial history.

    After independence, Muslim soldiers continued to serve the nation with distinction. Company Quartermaster Havildar Abdul Hamid displayed extraordinary courage during the 1965 India–Pakistan War, destroying several enemy tanks before making the supreme sacrifice. He was posthumously awarded the Param Vir Chakra, India’s highest wartime gallantry award. Brigadier Mohammad Usman, remembered as the “Lion of Naushera,” laid down his life during the 1947–48 India–Pakistan War while defending Jammu and Kashmir. Their bravery remains a proud chapter in the history of the Indian Armed Forces.

    While some of these personalities were martyred in battle or executed during the freedom struggle, others devoted their lives to India’s independence through political leadership, mass movements, legal advocacy, education, and social reform. Together, their contributions demonstrate that the story of India’s freedom and nation-building was written through the collective efforts of people from every faith and background.

    As the nation continues to honour its heroes, historians emphasize that remembering the contributions of all freedom fighters—regardless of religion—helps preserve the inclusive spirit that shaped modern India.

    Dehradun City Qazi Raises Objection Over Alleged Removal of Mosque Loudspeakers Without Written Notic

    Letter sent to District Magistrate and SSP seeks due legal process; says Muslim community respects Supreme Court orders and noise pollution norms

    Report: Amaanullah Usmani 

    Dehradun | Nation Pulse 24

    Dehradun City Qazi Mufti Hashim Ahmad Qasmi has written to the District Magistrate (DM) and Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) after receiving reports that loudspeakers used for the Azaan at some mosques were allegedly ordered to be removed without any written notice. According to the letter, oral instructions were reportedly issued in the name of Supreme Court directions, and in some places loudspeakers had already been removed.

    In his communication, the City Qazi stated that if any administrative action is required, it should be carried out strictly in accordance with the law and the established legal procedure.

    The letter further states that mosques across Dehradun and the rest of Uttarakhand generally use loudspeakers for the Azaan for only 10 to 15 minutes in a 24-hour period. It also claims that sound levels are maintained within the limits prescribed by the Uttarakhand Government’s notification dated June 9, 2021, relating to environmental and noise pollution standards.

    Mufti Qasmi said that whenever any complaint is received regarding excessive sound levels, the concerned Imam and mosque management committee are immediately instructed to ensure compliance with the prescribed limits.

    He also requested that any complaint regarding noise pollution should first be formally communicated to the concerned mosque management committee or the City Qazi’s office so that corrective action can be taken without delay. He added that noise pollution laws should be enforced equally at all religious places and strictly through due legal process.

    The City Qazi emphasized that the Muslim community fully respects the Constitution of India, the Supreme Court’s orders, existing noise pollution laws, and all directions issued by the Uttarakhand Government. He said the purpose of the letter is to maintain coordination with the administration, ensure lawful action, and preserve communal harmony.

  • Uttarakhand’s Madrasa Education Reform: A Step Forward or a Constitutional Challenge?

    Uttarakhand’s Madrasa Education Reform: A Step Forward or a Constitutional Challenge?

    Uttarakhand’s Madrasa Education Reform: A Step Forward or a Constitutional Challenge?

    Khurshid Ahmad Siddiqui (Ghulam-e-Mustafa)

                  The Uttarakhand government’s initiative to activate the State Minority Education Authority has sparked an important debate across the education sector. According to the government, the move aims to improve the quality of education in minority institutions, particularly madrasas, by introducing modern, skill-based, and employment-oriented learning alongside religious education.

    The vision is ambitious: to ensure that madrasa students have opportunities to become doctors, engineers, scientists, teachers, civil servants, and responsible citizens while preserving their religious identity.

    There is little disagreement that modern education—including science, mathematics, computer literacy, and vocational skills—is essential in today’s world. If these subjects are effectively integrated into madrasa education, students will undoubtedly gain broader career opportunities.

    However, the real challenge lies in implementation. Educational reform requires qualified teachers, updated curricula, technological infrastructure, and sustainable financial support. Most madrasas are primarily funded through community donations intended for religious education rather than mainstream schooling. Without adequate financial assistance, questions remain about how institutions will recruit qualified teachers and deliver high-quality modern education.

    Another important concern is whether the state’s broader education system should receive equal attention. Many government schools in Uttarakhand continue to struggle with teacher shortages, inadequate infrastructure, and declining learning outcomes. A comprehensive education policy should address these challenges alongside reforms in minority institutions.

    Education should serve as a bridge that promotes equality, social harmony, and democratic values. Therefore, reforms should be based on dialogue, trust, and participation rather than perceptions of administrative control. If any community feels that its educational or cultural identity is being unnecessarily influenced, it may create distrust instead of cooperation.

    There is also concern about the academic burden on students. If madrasa children are expected to attend regular schools during the day and religious classes before or after school, they could face extremely long study hours, potentially affecting their mental well-being and overall development.

    India’s cultural diversity is one of its greatest strengths. The Constitution guarantees every community the right to preserve its language, culture, and educational traditions while ensuring that all institutions promote scientific temper, constitutional values, national unity, and modern knowledge.

    Articles 29 and 30 of the Indian Constitution provide religious and linguistic minorities with the right to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice. At the same time, the State has the authority to regulate education in the interest of quality, child welfare, and national academic standards. Maintaining a constitutional balance between institutional autonomy and educational reform is therefore essential.

    Ultimately, the most important stakeholders are the students. If reforms provide quality education, equal opportunities, and respect for cultural identity, students can contribute meaningfully to society and nation-building. But if reforms generate uncertainty, identity concerns, or excessive academic pressure, their educational outcomes may suffer Conclusion

    Education reform in Uttarakhand should not be limited to one category of institutions. Government schools, madrasas, and all educational institutions deserve equal access to quality teaching, modern technology, trained educators, and constitutional values.

    The true purpose of education is not to change a community’s identity, but to empower every student according to their potential. Only an inclusive, balanced, and constitutionally guided education policy can prepare future generations to become scholars, professionals, innovators, and responsible citizens.
