New Delhi: A significant conference of Muslim political, religious, and social leaders is proposed to be held in New Delhi on July 24 to deliberate on issues concerning Muslims across the country, the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), administrative actions affecting religious institutions, and the prevailing socio-political situation.

According to available information, the meeting aims to discuss the challenges faced by the Muslim community, strengthen coordination among various organizations, and formulate a common strategy through democratic and legal means.

Who Is Expected to Attend?

The proposed conference is expected to bring together Muslim Members of Parliament from different political parties, prominent Islamic scholars, and representatives of major Muslim organizations.

Among those reportedly invited are senior Congress leader and former Union Minister Salman Khurshid, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi, MP Mohibbulla Nadvi, along with other Muslim parliamentarians.

Representatives from Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, including Maulana Arshad Madani and Maulana Mahmood Madani, as well as Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, Jamaat Ahle Hadees Hind, and the All India Muslim Personal Law Board, are also expected to participate.

Key Issues on the Agenda

The discussions are likely to focus on:

– Administrative action and bulldozer drives involving mosques and madrasas.

– Incidents of mob lynching and communal violence.

– Issues related to religious identity and alleged discrimination.

– Implementation and proposals of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in various states.

– Administrative measures concerning madrasas in Uttarakhand and their impact.

– Constitutional guarantees of religious freedom, minority rights, and available legal remedies.

– Developing a coordinated and democratic strategy among participating organizations.

Focus on a Common Strategy

Leaders and organizations attending the conference are expected to work toward evolving a shared approach on these issues. Sources indicate that legal, social, and democratic options will be discussed, and a joint resolution or declaration may be issued if a consensus is reached.

Discussion on ‘Gair-Ta’awun Tehreek’?

According to sources, one of the important topics may be whether the community should consider a “Gair-Ta’awun Tehreek” (Non-Cooperation Movement), including the possibility of an electoral boycott, if governments are perceived to be failing in ensuring justice. Political and community leaders are expected to deliberate on this issue.

Official Confirmation Awaited

Organizers are yet to release the final agenda and confirmed list of participants. Changes in the agenda and attendance remain possible until an official announcement is made.

The conference is being organized by Indian Muslim for Civil Rights. Given the current socio-political context, the meeting is being viewed as an important platform for discussing issues affecting Muslims nationwide and exploring a coordinated future course of action.
