Muslim organisations demanded clarification from Aung San Suu Kyi on
the issue of state sponsored violence in Burma against Rohingya Muslims.
Association for Protection of Civil Rights (APCR) with some other
organisations on a joint platform “Joint Forum of the Concerned
” protested
in front of Lady Shri Ram College in the capital where Suu Kyi, the
Nobel laureate and “champion of democracy” was delivering a lecture.
Protesters displayed placards with pictures of brutal killing of
Rohingyas along with the misleading and racist comments of Suu Kyi on
the issue. It is to be noted that thousands of Muslims were massacred
and lakhs rendered homeless in what has been called as a blood bath that
started early this year. Su Kyi who is now opposition leader of the
Burmese parliament herself had been the victim of state oppressions and
has championed the cause of human rights, but her silence on this issue
was not only surprising but condemnable.
Dr. Zafarul Islam Khan, President AIMMM, Mujtaba Farooq, convener
Coordination Committee of Indian Muslims, Dr. Tasleem Ahmad Rahmani,
President Muslim Political Council of India, Mohammad Ahmad, Secretary
Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, Maulana Abdul Wahhab Khilji, President Indian
Islahi Movement, Dr. Syed Qasim Rasool Ilyas, Member AIMPLB, Prof. MH
Jawaharullah, President TMMK and Lateef Mohd Khan, General Sec. Civil
Liberties Monitoring Committee, Hyderabad have issued a joint press
release urging Suu Kyi to take the massacre of Muslims in Burma
seriously and stop the military government from spilling the blood of
innocent Muslims.
