JIH condemns inflammatory posts on social networking sites

December 6, 2014

Mangaluru, Dec 6: With inflammatory messages being circulated on social networking sites such as Facebook and WhatsApp in the name of protecting women and religion, this is severely damaging to the threads of social harmony.

Forming private groups in the society under the pretext of protecting women and their religion as well as supporting such groups is not just illegal, but also against religious principles, said Jamaat-e-Islami Hind local unit chief Sayeed Ismaeel.

He said that the society should strongly condemn such persons who made religion and its followers take the stand of accused. Other than advocating solutions to any problem in a lawful manner, no solution should be resorted in an illegal way.

Hence people should not support any attempts to disrupt harmony in the society nor spread such messages to others. People should stay away from any kind of activities that can harm the peace and harmony among communities, he advised.

He also advocated that police should take note of and take strict action against such miscreant groups, thereby quashing any possibilities of mishaps or communal clashes.
