IUML CELEBRATES 65TH FOUNDATION DAY

Delhi, March 10, 2012- Nationwide celebration of IUMLs 65th Foundation Day has begun with an impressive function organized by the Party at the National Capital. E.

IUML National Vice President Iqbal Ahmed Advocate, M. Abdul Rahman M.P.(Lok Sabha), Uttar Pradesh State IUML President Moulana Kausar Hayat Khan, Delhi State President and National Secretary Khorrum Anis Omer addressed the meeting. In his elaborate address on the long and rich history of the IUML, E. Ahamed has said that the party throughout its history has always stood for the unity and integrity of the Nation, it has always promoted communal harmony. Quoting the Aims and Objectives of the party clearly laid out by the founder leader Qaide Millath Mohammed Ismail Sahib, he said that the IUML never deviated from its cardinal principles. He challenged the adversaries to prove otherwise. IUML always stood for the protection of the rights of the minorities and backwards, but never tried to are up the communal passion - he said.

Since Independence, muslims have done everything possible to adjust and accomodate themselves to the new conditions and environment and move with the spirit of the times and the changed atmosphere in the country. The Indian Union Mulsim League is the real champion of this transformations. A closer look at the history of the party would reveal how Muslim League has been instrumental in this process of change. The Indian Union Muslim League right from its inception on March 10, 1948, represented a remarkable chapter in the history of Indian Muslims who were caught up in the traumatised experience of partition. Muslims in the pre-Independent India naturally felt the need for a body of Muslims which could make

post Independent India offered material for re-orientation of Muslim identity along a nationalistic line. Emphasising on the slogan honourable existence, the founder president Quaid-eMilleth Mohamed Ismail Sahib inculcated the need for creating a cohesive Indian Muslim identity. The party under the able, efcient and dynamic leadership of bafaqi thangal, Ibrahim Sulaiman sait, Gulam Mohamed Banathwallah reached the pinnacle of success. C.H. Mohamed Koya Sahabs accession to the Chief Ministership represents major landmark in the history of Indian Muslims empowerment. Finally a berth in the Central Ministry - a long cherished dream - through the party president E. Ahamed Saheb characterizes a distinctive phase in Indian Union Muslim League history. Indian Union Muslim League is the only Muslim organization that has maintained a consistent presence in the Indian Parliament through out its history. Since independence many organizations have made tall claims to represent political aspirations of Indian Muslims but most of them gradually vanished failing to withstand the test of time. On March 10, 2012, shouts of Allah-huAkbar, Muslim League Zindabad reverberated in all directions in the Indian Sub-continent and on that day Muslims from Kashmir to Kanyakumari looked with pride at what their mother organisation, Indian Union Muslim League had achieved in the post Independent India.

known to the then Government and Parliament their requirements, wishes, disabilities and problems. They felt rightly that Muslims should unite politically. These in brief were the major factors which led to the formation of the All India Muslim League in the year 1906, in Dacca, under the leadership of Muhammed Shah Aga Khan. Nawab Mohisinul Mulk, Nawab Vakarul Mulk, Nawab Salimullah Khan of Dacca were the founding fathers of the All India Muslim League. The crescent and star green ag designed for the party now attains the age of 106 years. Formation of the Indian Union Muslim League in the

IUML in the Election Commission Recognition List

On March 10, 2012, the Indian Union Muslim League has commenced its 65th year journey. We have been consistently supporting for the unity and integrity of India. We have all along been working to maintain friendship, fraternity, good will and for communal amity with all the communities in India. At the same time, we have been striving to preserve the religious, social and cultural identity of minorities particularly of the Indian Muslim Community. We implement this by declaring national unity, communal amity and cultural identity. Having adopted this triple pearl as our basic policy , we earnestly work to establish an unblemished democratic philosophy in India. We have to toil to get social and religious justice to all. Indian Muslims aspire to see that India shall be and must be a best model nation loved by one and all. People in the independent India might have forgotten Allama Mohamed Iqbal, the poet par excellence but none could forget his popular song Sahrejahan se acha Hindustan hamera - of all the countries of the world, India ours is the best. To make India great, its people should cherish love in their hearts. We have to involve ourselves in this task. The French philosopher Earnest Renan denes how a nation is made. A nation is made neither by race, nor by religion, nor by geography but is made by a common moral consciousness. We must work as Renan mentioned to ame the light of the common moral consciousness in the hearts of the Indian people. The Election Commission of India has now approved the merger of Kerala State Muslim League committee with IUML, granted recognition to the party and allotted the ladder symbol to it. The IUML for the rst time in history has found a place along with the list of other recognised parties like AIADMK. DMK, Congress, BJP, two Communist Parties, and so on. It has become a historical compulsion on Iuml to commence the work for the future growth, progress, development and to attain a distinct place for India in the International arena. The path is precise, the goal is clear and hope the journey will be steady. Let us lead the people on to the nationalistic path to reach the common moral altitude to enable them to glimpse the modern world with a new vision and mission. Editor

Holy Quran Speaks

He sends down water (rain) from the sky, and the valleys flow according to their measure, but the ood bears away the foam that mounts up to the surface - and (also) from that (ore) which they heat in the re in order to make ornaments or utensils, rise a foam like it, thus does Allah (by parables) show forth truth and falsehood. Then, as for the foam it passes away as scum upon the banks, while that which is for the good of mankind remains in the earth. Thus Allah sets forth parables (for the truth and falsehood, i.e. Belief and disbelief).
- Quran - 13 : 17.

Saying of Prophet Muhammed (Sal) In the last period of my Ummah there will come people who will be deceitful, liars. They will tell you things which you would never have heard, nor have your forefathers heard them. Be wary of them; let them not misguide you and let them not involve you in corruptions.

golden ideals. The vision 2020 gives a clear picture of IUML programme for the future. The Vision 2020 enumerates the following goals to be pursued with a renewed vigour and zeal in the democratic. 1. Political : Enhancement of Participation in Governance 2. Social : Commitment for the creation of pluralist society 3. Economic : Need for micro level economic interventions 4. National level think tank 5. Research Centre and Data Bank 6. Archives and Audio Visual Documentation Centre 7. Media Cell and Core media group 8. Human Rights education and Legal Aid cell 9. Empowerment of Women 10. Appropriation of Technological innovations 11. Environmental Protection 12. Civil Society Organizations and NGOs 13. Primacy on Education and skill development In order to achieve the above said goals the guidelines for strengthening IUML have been prescribed. The workers of IUML and the heads of the various levels of organization have to strive for strengthening the party organization from the primary to the National level. The rst and foremost task of each IUML worker is to have a well organized unit of the party at primary (ward of division), municipality, panchayat, taluk and district level. In order to run the party machinery effectively, we must strengthen the organizational set up and broaden the party work in accordance with the policies of the party. For a concerted and coordinated move at the national level, there is the need for a uniform policy with regard to party structure, political alliance and grass-root level organization throughout India. After strengthening the organizational set up, every state committee should review the organizational apparatus at state and district level and organize frontal organization namely, youth, students,women and labours. However, priority should be given to strengthen the base of the parent body, the IUML and the formation of frontal organizations should be completed in accordance with the following. Muslim Youth League The youth who endorse the ideology and policies of the Muslim league should be organized under the banner of Muslim Youth League. The youth wing of the Party should strive to implement all programme of the party in the areas of politics, education and culture, poverty alleviation in the community. Relief work and welfare programmes for the benet of the economically and educationally backward sections of the community. The Youth League should also focus their attention on stalling anti muslim campaign let loose by the fascist elements and extreme activities of the members of the community which create ill will and disharmony between the Muslims and other communities. The nefarious design of these overzealous people who endeavor to tarnish the image of Islam and Holy Quran should also be resisted through established means and democratic process.

IUML starts a new journey in the country on the set pathway of its

Muslim Students Federation The State committees should strive hard to organize Muslim Students Federation in Madrassas, Upper Primary and High Schools, Colleges and other educational institutions wherever there are sufcient number of Muslim students. The rst and foremost duty of MSF is to propagate the basic ideals which the IUML stands for and to motivate the members of the community to prosper. They must try to inculcate fundamentals of Islam and understand the changing world around them. Maintaining their identity, they have to promote unity among the Muslim students. Being disciplined, obedient and dynamic in learning modern science and technology, history and culture, they must widen the horizon of their knowledge. They must also try to be role model for future generations to understand and promote cohesion and also to make them t enough to live in plural society, holding up their identity and faith. The state committees and district level committees should extend all help and encourage them to realize their success and extend help including nances to pursue their studies. Womens Organization Womens political and social empowerment has gained much attention in the current political debate. In view of the impending constitutional changes providing special reservation for women in the Parliament and State Legislative Assembly seats, the Muslim League cannot keep aloof from this move. We should make the women realize their prime duty; to build a happy home based on the principles of Islam, to strengthen the moral fabric of our society and to perform the duties as daughter, mother and wife. Besides, they should also be sensitive and vigilant to the social, economic and political changes taking place in our country. Our sisters should also be convinced of the important role they have to play in building up the community and the nation as well. Their participation in the governance of the country has become very vital though active politics may not be possible for every woman. They can always support and cooperate by achieving participatory representation in democratic institutions like Panchayats, Legislative Assemblies and Parliament, for the welfare of the community. They are a vital force in deciding the electoral outcomes. The State Party leadership should take cautious and correct steps in organizing Womens League units at state and district and if possible at local level. Trade Union Trade union activities are warranted widely is the country and there in an imperative need for the Party to have labour unions at the national and the state level. Kerala State where all the different frontal organizations of the party are very strong, should be a role model for other States to organize trade unions along the line of Swatantra Thozhilali Union (STU). It is the responsibility of the National and State leadership to provide guidelines for up-to-the mark functioning of frontal organizations. There should be consistent effort from the side of IUML at each level to monitor the activities and programmes of the frontal organizations. IUML is all set to oat the Muslim Youth League, the Muslim Students Federation, the Womens League and Trade Union at the national level.

clearly states

There were some communications received from two individuals, viz. Sh. Dawood Miakhan and Prof. Basir Ahmed Khan opposing the merger. It was, however, seen that neither of them were members of the above party and thus had no locus standi to raise matters relating to the IUML.

What is to be Done?
of his mother organization that has successfully completed its 64 years of existence in the Indian political arena on March 10, 2012. Inspite of many odds our existence for the past 64 years is really tremendous. But we must also realize that existence alone can not be considered as success. As Earl Nightingale states success is the progressive realization of a worthy goal. Success will not come by mere wishing, dreaming, observing ritualistic practices . Success can be achieved by sacrice, hard work, commitment and determination. We must remember there is no substitude for hard work. Prayers are only answered when they are supported with action. Remember the Prophetic saying tie your camel, have faith on Allah. Enlist the service of capable people The party will grow only if we enlist in to its ranks the nest

How can a community representative organization become strong when its intellectual. Wise, capable and altruistic men lie unused, discouraged, perhaps unknown. The knowledge unapplied in action is a pale academic vanity. The Irish philosopher and politician Edmund Burke states that socities are not destroyed by the activities of rascals, but by the inactivity of good people. Are we properly tapping the human resources from our community? Training to the party workers We must train the party workers to be always in the thick of the Musluims, know their needs, respond to their sentiments and demands, and do every thing to promote their wellbeing and try to

solve their genuine problems. We need to educate our workers in a party spirit inculcating the values of vitues, piety and service. Loyalty to the party and Leadership It is only under the guidance of the party leadership that the victory can be achieved, not by the scattered actions by the individuals. Loyalty to the party and leadership is the basic requirement for a party member. History is full of records that disloyalty cost many emperors and their empires. Set Goals We need to set our goals. If we fail to do so all our desires will become dreams. Let us set goals, work for the goals and x a dead line to achieve the goals. We must motivate the party workers to achieve the goals. The party till this day has not succeeded to rally the Indian Muslim community under the banner of IUML. There is no

credibility frankly speaking in the claim that we represent the Indian Muslim community when major chunk of Indian Muslim population stay out of IUML platform. In this regard we accept the state of Kerala is unique and exceptional one. Indian Muslims are politically conscious and they would consider the concrete facts, deeds, and services to determine the differences between the political parties. It is the high time we need to do some serious self introspection . It is better to light a candle than to curse darkness. Let us accept our responsibilities, work hard to deliver the goods. Let the community reap the fruits of our labour, then we will proudly and loudly shout MUSLIM LEAGUE ZINDABAD

Recently the Gopalapattinam Muslim Mohalla Jamaat which solemnised the marriage between Shahul Hamid and Ramzan Begam conducted an enquiry into the allegations of the wife against the husband. In the shariat panchayat of the Jamaat it was decided to accept the Talaq between the couple and to that effect the jamaat had issued the certicate that the couple had become separated from their wedlock. Ramzan Begam took care of the female child Moubika Refaana. She applied for passport for her child to the Regional passport ofcer in Thanjavur. The ofcer refused to accept the certicate of divorce issued by the jamaat and insisted that she should get

the certicate of divorce from the court of Law. Ramzan Begam took this case to the Madras High court Branch at Madurai. Jastice Sashidaran had given the verdict-that It is not correct on the part of the Regional passport ofcer to say that he can accept only the certicate of divorce from the court of Law. The Talaq certicate issued by the Gopalapattinam Muslim Jamaat has to be accepted and on that basis the passport is to be issued. The petitioner is governed by the Muslim personal Law. The Talaq certicate has been issued in accordance with the Muslim personal Law. The passport ofcer should not insist that the petitioner should bring the certicate from the court of Law.

Election Commission of India - The Guardian of Democracy

The peoples verdict in the ve State assembly polls, despite the
varied political and other divergences of the States involved, has been remarkably forth right and unequivocal. There is absolutely no ambiguity about the mandate, barring perhaps in the Uttarkhand State. And, as it turned out, their reference has swung decisively in favour of Samaj Wadi party in U.P., in favour of Congress in Manipur and in favour of Akahali Dhal in Punjab and in favour of BJP in Goa. The Congess managed to capture power with help of the independents. It is an undeniable fact that in UP, the Samaj Wadi party has cleverly manoeuved to garner the support of the Muslims in big way by exploiting the Congress bungling over the minority reservation quota. Further the OBC + Minority formula evolved and expiremented in the UP played a miracle in the Utter pradhesh Election. The Charisma of Akilesh Yadhav the son of Mulaim Singh Yadhav has played a vital role in the UP Election and the Son Rising mela hasbeen successfully launched in the UP Politics. The Congress in Manipur and Akalidal in Punjab have created history by recapturing the power successively by an impressive margin. The neck and neck ght between congress and BJP in Uttarkhand has resulted in the hung assembly in the State paving the room for horse trading. The Chief Election Commissioner of India S.Y.
