Jamaat-e-Islami Hind has strongly condemned the terror attack on a convoy of Congress Party at Bastar district in Chhattisgarh. Describing it as anti-human and undemocratic, the organisation has demanded from the government to take positive and constructive steps that could put an end to such unpleasant incidents. The Jamaat has also demanded a high-level probe to expose the real culprits and prosecute them according to the law of the land.
Mr.Nusrat Ali, Secretary General of the Jamaat, in a statement on 28 May, expressed surprise at the fact that even after 65 years of Independence, central and state governments neither created an atmosphere of justice and equality nor could train the citizens not to resort to violent means to resolve their problems and issues.
The Jamaat leader urged the government to analyse its schemes and programmes for tribal areas honestly and ensure their justified rights. The government should create an atmosphere there that tribals turn to peaceful and constructive means to resolve their issues. He also appealed to the people of those areas that destruction and violence cannot resolve their issues rather will complicate them, so they should keep from illegal and unpleasant ways and adopt peaceful, democratic and constitutional means for their struggle.
