Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, Maharashtra expresses serious concern over reports from the recent local body elections that indicate a disturbing erosion of electoral fairness and transparency.
Free and fair elections are the backbone of democracy. Any perception that the electoral process is being manipulated to favour the ruling party strikes at public trust and constitutional governance.
The reported irregularities demand urgent clarification and accountability:
🔸Allegations of duplicate voters, which were raised but reportedly not addressed decisively by the Election Commission.
🔸Absence of VVPAT machines, denying voters the basic right to verify whether their vote was recorded correctly.
🔸Introduction of a new and unverified counting device, raising questions about transparency and auditability.
🔸Replacement of indelible ink with easily removable marker ink, which can reportedly be wiped off using sanitiser, weakening safeguards against multiple voting.
🔸Post-campaign canvassing, violating the spirit of electoral discipline and fairness.
When electoral safeguards are diluted and concerns are brushed aside, democracy itself is weakened. Elections must not only be free and fair, they must also be seen to be free and fair.
We urge the Election Commission and state authorities to respond with transparency, restore confidence in the process, and ensure that no election machinery is misused to secure political advantage. The integrity of democracy cannot be compromised.

It is despicable that the Modi govt has signed a Bilateral Investment Treaty with Israel at a time when Israel is overseeing genocide, ethnic cleansing & famine of Gaza. The person seated next to @nsitharaman believes that it is “just and moral” to starve Gazans. Arrest warrant applications against him are pending with the ICC. Supporting a genocidal government cannot be in national interest.

New Delhi : Maulana Shafi Madani, National Secretary of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind (JIH), along with other Jamaat leaders, visited the flood-affected regions of Sangra and Baupur Jadid villages in Sultanpur Lodhi (Kapurthala District), Sunder Chuck, Bahadarpur, Kolia Safar Tehseel (Pathankot District) and Sindhupur in Jalandhar. In Kolia village, 30 concrete houses were washed away in the floods. Tragically, four lives were lost, including three young siblings and a 75-year-old grandmother.
During the visit, the JIH delegation interacted with Sikh Community leaders, Nodal officers and affected villagers to assess their urgent needs. The discussions focused on providing comprehensive relief - including food, shelter, clean drinking water, medical services, and long-term rehabilitation measures to help families rebuild their lives.
Volunteers from Jamaat-e-Islami Hind and Society for Bright Future are actively engaged in relief and rescue operations, distributing essential supplies, extending medical assistance, and supporting displaced families in every possible way.
“We are deeply concerned about the hardships faced by the flood victims. Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, together with our partner organizations, is committed to providing all forms of basic support - food, shelter, healthcare, and rehabilitation - until normalcy is fully restored,” said Maulana Shafi Madani, National Secretary, JIH.
He further added, “Jamaat-e-Islami Hind will continue to stand by the flood-hit communities, working tirelessly for their relief, recovery, and rehabilitation. We also appeal to the Government to expedite relief distribution, improve basic infrastructure in the affected areas, and announce adequate compensation packages for the victims to rebuild their lives.”
Maulana Shafi Madani also urged the wider public and well-wishers to come forward and extend their support, joining hands to help the affected families overcome this crisis.

President, Jamaat e Islami Hind Syed Sadatullah Hussaini's statement on Operation Sindoor
Jamaat-e-Islami Hind considers terrorism a serious threat and a heinous crime against humanity, and deems its complete eradication essential for the safety, security, and peace of the country and its people.
The action taken by the country’s armed forces and security agencies against terrorism is being supported by the entire country across all religions and communities. The people of India stand united with our forces.
At the same time, we stress that in this critical moment, it is imperative for all citizens to come together and face this challenge unitedly. Exploiting a national security issue for spreading division or communal tension, is against the interest of the country and must be unequivocally rejected. We appeal to all political, social, and religious organisations and groups to maintain the country’s unity, communal harmony, and mutual respect, and to to demonstrate collective solidarity and responsible citizenship.
