Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind President visits Assam in the wake of eviction drive

Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind President, Maulana Mahmood Madani led a high-level delegation to Assam in the wake of series of eviction drive.
The delegation visited several relief camps, including Betbari, where families displaced by bulldozer demolitions are taking shelter.

Madani expressed deep solidarity and assured them of unwavering support. “Our fight is not against the removal of encroachments,” Madani stated, “but against the inhuman way in which people are being rendered homeless, taking aside the Supreme Court’s directions, and replacing law with threats, fear, and brute force. Such actions are not only against justice but also against humanity.”

He added: “Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind has always stood with the oppressed and will continue to do so. We are ready even for gallows and chains if needed, but we will never step back from supporting the victims. This has been the shining legacy of our elders, and we will uphold it.”

The Assam government has launched a series of eviction drives. The Assam government has reclaimed 182 square kilometres of land from encroachers. Over 50, 000 people are evicted.
