Hyderabad: Jamaat-e-Islami Hind (JIH) held a three-day national conclave in Wadi-e-Huda, Hyderabad, from November 15–17, 2024. The event, attended by over 15,000 members, focused on pressing local, national, and international issues, culminating in resolutions addressing key challenges.
Addressing Communal Tensions
JIH expressed grave concern over the rising communal violence in India, highlighting attacks on individuals, organizations, and places of worship. The conclave criticized the use of bulldozers in demolition campaigns that violate Supreme Court orders and decried the misuse of legal processes. Participants warned that such divisive agendas endanger both national integrity and the Muslim community’s security.
Resisting the Waqf Bill
The conclave rejected the proposed Waqf Bill, accusing it of harming the Muslim community’s resources and undermining national interests. The resolution called the bill unjust and misaligned with public sentiment, urging its withdrawal.
Strengthening Solidarity and Unity
JIH emphasized solidarity among Indian Muslims, urging them to remain steadfast in faith and committed to justice despite challenges. Delegates stressed the importance of peaceful reform and countering misinformation about Islam through deliberate, community-driven initiatives.
Social and Economic Concerns
The conclave criticized increasing economic inequality and wealth concentration among a small elite, attributing these issues to systemic corruption and authoritarian tendencies. It also raised alarms about the erosion of democratic values and the rise of extremism in media and education.
Condemning Gaza Aggression
JIH strongly denounced Israel’s actions in Gaza, calling them genocide and a crime against humanity. The conclave urged the Indian government to uphold its historical support for Palestinian rights and called on international organizations to hold war criminals accountable. It appealed to global Muslim leaders to advocate for justice and support persecuted populations.
Commitment to Justice and Nation-Building
The conclave concluded with a call for Muslims to prioritize judicial, social, and political reforms while contributing to national development. Delegates stressed the importance of patience, resilience, and peaceful efforts to achieve long-term objectives in the face of adversity.
