New Delhi, July 16, 2021 (PPI-OT):In India, the Islamic organisation Raza Academy has urged Minister of Minority Affairs in Rajashtan to bring a law to ensure action against people who make insulting remarks about Prophet Muhammad (SAW). A delegation led by Islamic organisation Raza Academy chief Mohammad Saeed Noori met Rajashtan’s Minister of Minority Affairs, Saleh Mohammad and urged him to bring a law to ensure action against people who make insulting remarks about Prophet Muhammad (SAW).

The minister told him that Indian Muslims are grief-stricken due to insulting remarks being made against Prophet Muhammad (SAW). ”Muslims can tolerate anything but not any kind of insult to Islam and Prophet Muhammad (SAW),” he added. In response, Rajashtan’s Minister of Minority Affairs Saleh Mohammad said that the issue would be discussed with the state’s Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and a bill will soon be passed in the legislative assembly.

A day earlier, Islamic organisation Raza Academy chief Mohammad Saeed Noori had spoken about the need for the law at a conference held at the famous shrine of Khawaja Moinuddin Chishti in Ajmer district. He stated that certain people make “unacceptable” remarks against religious leaders particularly Prophet Muhammad (SAW) just to gain cheap popularity. “They succeed to make headlines but on the other hand, they cause pain to people. Sometimes, law and order situations are damaged as a result of their remarks,” he said. In June this year, Noori along with Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi chief Prakash Ambedkar had held a press conference in Mumbai and urged the Maharashtra government to bring the same law and provide five per cent reservation to Muslims in the state.
