New Delhi. Maulana Mahmood Asad Madani, president of Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind, expressed concern over the arrest of Professor Ali Khan Mahmudabad of Ashoka University, describing it as a violation of constitutional rights. He hoped that the matter would be reviewed as per the highest ideals of justice.
Maulana Madni said that the statement of Professor Ali Khan, which is also in my cognizance, is beyond comprehension to present as treason or insult. As far as criticism or disagreement is concerned, it is allowed, even if it is to do with the government itself. It is an established fact that disagreement with the government or any class or organization of the country is not the same as opposing the country.
Maulana Madani also referred to the double standards of the government and the administration, saying that on the one hand, a minister of Madhya Pradesh government, Colonel Qureshi, is called a ‘sister of terrorists’, for which the court reprimands him, but no disciplinary action has been taken by the government or party yet, while Professor Ali is arrested immediately, while the said minister’s statement is insulted by the country. This approach promotes disbelief among people towards institutions providing justice.
Maulana Madani said that the institutions protecting justice should understand that the purpose of the law is to protect the freedom of citizens. The democratic system is established by respecting ideas rather than fear or silence. Maulana Madani has insisted that the Government of India intervene in the matter and take immediate and effective steps for the unconditional release of Professor Ali Khan.
Ali Khan Mahmudabad, who taught political science at Ashoka University in Haryana, was arrested for his comment on ‘Operation Sindoor’. Sources said that Mahmudabad has been arrested on the complaint of BJP Yuva Morcha general secretary Yogesh Jatheri in Haryana. Also, a case of treason has been registered against him.
