No end to demands of Islamists in Kolkata
Never before the existing political regime were Islamists
perceived to bring out processions almost at regular intervals – to voice their
concerns over various issues, imperative or stray – in Kolkata. Whether it is September 27, 2012 or October 4, 2012, the main concern of
Islamists does remain to showcase innate masculinity to make foes or friends
realize their potency.
The Islamic rally, on September 27, 2012, was
organized to manifest the anger against broadcast of “Innocence of Muslims” and
also against the United States.
However, on October 4, 2012, Siddikulla Chowdhury, chief of
AIUDF West Bengal, stole the show through brining forth another Islamic craving
for power. The meeting was indeed a success; not for presence of a good
gathering but for inactivity of administration– last to earn Didi’s displeasure
by nabbing any Muslim rabble rouser or troublemaker – once more.
Hence, the processions went on letting Siddikulla Chowdhury publish a
charter of demands.
The
fresh charter of demands included:
1)
To
repeal Sec.2(1)(B) and 3(C) of 2003 Amendment of Citizen's Act and giving
Citizenship and Rehabilitation to all refugees.
2)
To
give Reservation to the Muslims and OBCs according to their population proportion;
to implement properly the reservation for the Schedules and others, and fulfill
the backlogs.
3)
To
make strict law against riots for the safety of Indians.
4)
Strong
punishment to the rioters of Bodoland and extending security and rehabilitation
to the victim families.
5)
To
take steps to control price rise.
6)
To
ensure security of women.
The pamphlets
circulated in the procession were found to state vociferously the absence of
Varna system among Islamists and hence, they demanded that the entire Muslim
community in Bengal must be kept under a single reservation scheme.
The
signatories on behalf of the State Committee of AIUDF are: Maulana Siddikulla
Chowdhury, Sukritiranjan Biswas, Sayed Jamirul Hasan, Mufti Rafikul Islam,
