Kota: Jamaat-e-Islami Hind Kota organised a large public gathering at MI Garden, Borakheda, drawing thousands of attendees from Baran, Mangrol, Sangod, Jhalawar, and Kota city.
Event coordinator Gulsher Ahmed announced that the gathering featured prominent leaders, including Malik Motasim Khan, JIH national vice president, who attended as the chief guest. Also present were Salman Ahmed, national media secretary, and Mohammad Nazimuddin, state president, who participated as special guests.
In his keynote address, Malik Motasim Khan highlighted the national discourse around ghar wapsi. He asserted that humanity traces its lineage to Adam, the first man and first prophet, and that returning to one’s spiritual home means embracing the religion of Adam. He criticised the push for a uniform civil code, emphasising that its advocates aim to alienate Muslims from their faith. However, he reassured the audience that Muslims will remain steadfast in their faith and loyalty to the country.
Mohammad Nazimuddin urged Muslims to embody the teachings of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, including treating women with respect, avoiding betrayal, testifying truthfully, upholding justice, and fostering mutual love and unity.
Harisa, state president of Girls Islamic Organisation (GIO) from Jaipur, addressed women and students, stressing the need to adhere to Islamic principles to counter societal and academic challenges.
Muttalib Mirza, in-charge of Hadouti division, reflected on JIH’s over seven-decade-long efforts to preserve moral and ethical values among Muslims, prevent divisions within the community, and promote Hindu-Muslim harmony.
The event also featured speeches by national media secretary Salman Ahmed, state general secretary Shahid Khan, women’s wing state secretary Rubina Abrar, state secretary Sarfaraz Falahi, and Students Islamic Organisation (SIO) state president Adil Saifi. The gathering was moderated by Shakir Mirza, city president.
The speakers emphasised the importance of following Islamic teachings, critiqued the ghar wapsi campaign and the proposed UCC, and called for unity among Muslims and Hindus. They underscored the need to uphold moral values and social justice in society.
