ALL INDIA JAMIATUL QURESH ACTION COMMITTEE First National Conference
held at Hotel Park Hyatt, Hyderabad on 6th of August 2021. Faheem
Qureshi Advocate President raised his concerns over the lynching of
Muslim Cattle Traders, Transporters, Consumers of beef, Butchers
especially on the pretext of “saving cattle” has apparently been on the
rise in recent years. There have been dozens of such killings in the
last few years
President Faheem Qureshi informed that Radical cow protection groups in
India have killed at least 44 people during three years and often
received support from law enforcement and Hindu nationalist politicians,
according to a new report from Human Rights Watch.
The 104-page report examines Hindu nationalist vigilante attacks and
said 36 of the dead were members of India’s large Muslim minority. About
280 people have been injured in more than 100 attacks between May 2015
and December 2018.
In Dadri, Mohammad Akhlaq was lynched for possessing cooked meat, which
might have come from a buffalo. There are many other cases, where
victims were killed without proof of possessing cow meat or being
accompanied by a cow. In the name of cow-protection, almost all cattle,
farm and poultry animals are being ‘protected’ by Hindutva forces while
inflicting one-sided violence against Muslims.
Multiple cases of mob lynching have been registered in Bihar, UP,
Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh. Several cases have also been reported in the
south Indian states of Karnataka, Telangana and Kerala. In other words,
mob lynching has almost become a national phenomenon.
The Rajasthan assembly passed an anti-lynching bill with provisions for
life imprisonment and a fine ranging from Rs 1-5 lakhs in cases where
mob violence lead to a victim’s death.
In July 2018, the Supreme Court described lynching as a “horrendous act
of mobocracy”. passed directives urging the parliament to enact a law to
deal with the crime that “threatens rule of law and the country’s
social fabric.” It also came up with an 11-point prescription, which
included state governments designating a nodal officer for taking
measures to prevent incidents of mob violence and lynching.
Despite the Supreme Court’s intervention, According to the report, “35%
of police personnel interviewed for the survey think it is natural for a
mob to punish the “culprit” in cases of cow slaughter,
As revealed by a report published in 2017 – the police registered cases
against the victims and survivors of mob lynching in 30% of the cases.
The members of AIJQAC extend their heartfelt sympathy and condolence to
the bereaved families and friends of all those who died of violence.
Further resolved to support the victims by all legal means to protect
their fundamental, constitutional and human rights. It is also
resolved to seek legal protection for the active members of the
organization including the President and his family members and members
of all affiliated units in the country who are facing threats to their
lives from Cow Vigilante Groups, Hindu Nationalist Politicians and other
groups which cannot be named on record due to immediate threat of
