It is a matter of great concern that divisive elements are bent upon damaging the secular fabric of the country. They aggressively undermine the Indian Constitution and attempt to push the country towards anarchy and lawlessness. They target and torture Muslims, Dalits and other weaker sections. The more painfully, they hurl invectives at the sacred figures, especially the messenger of mercy & peace, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in public rallies and from the media platforms.

These people are enemies of peace and a blot on the forehead of the motherland damaging the reputation of the country at the international forum. They are engaged in creating fear Psychosis among minorities, especially Muslims.

In such a situation, loyal citizens and organizations which value the national interests, especially Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, cannot remain silent spectator and hence it is duty bound to take joint action to foster an atmosphere of peace, and religious harmony.

In this perspective, Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, in its National governing body meeting held on 28-29 May 2022 at Deoband, approved an important proposal in the name of "Sadbhavna Manch" to end religious hatred and communalism.

The resolution reads:

• That shall consist of at least eleven members, half of which shall belong to non-Muslims.
• The forum will include active members of the society and local influential leaders irrespective of religion and caste etc.
• The Forum shall convene a meeting every month and shall endeavor to take under mentioned joint steps in accordance with the clause 8 of the Jamiat's Constitution.

Modus Operandi

• A joint gathering of people of different religious sects.
• Strive for the fulfillment of civic requirements.
• To work for the welfare of the labourer class, farmers and backward people.
• To help orphans, widows and the oppressed section of society.
• To make collective efforts to prevent drugs and obscenity.
• To find out peaceful solutions through mutual dialogue and discussion to sensitive religious issues such as use of loudspeakers in places of worship and use of public places for worship etc.
• To make collective efforts to protect environment through plantation, sanitation and water preservation.
