Senior members of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) met several Muslim leaders and representatives of Muslim organizations at the former lieutenant governor Najeeb Jung’s Delhi home.
Issues like hate speech, riots, mob lynching, and the Kashi Mathura temple were discussed in the meeting, according to a Times of India report.
On January 14, a group of senior RSS pracharaks, including Ram Lal and Krishna Gopal, as well as Indresh Kumar, patron of the Rashtriya Muslim Manch met the Muslim delegation which was represented by the former Delhi LG Najeeb Jung, the former Election Commissioner Shahabuddin Yakub Qureshi, journalist and former MP Shahid Siddiqui, and the hotelier Saeed Sherwani. Lt. Gen. Retd. Zameeruddin Shah, a former vice chancellor of Aligarh Muslim University, couldn’t attend.
This meeting was significant because it included representatives from Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind, and Darul Uloom Deoband. To pave the way for such meetings with the RSS delegation, Najeeb Jung and representatives of Muslim intellectual and religious communities met earlier on January 13 at the home of journalist Shahid Siddiqui.
Confirming the meeting, Siddiqui told TOI, “We had another cordial meeting to discuss the continuing polarisation and marginalisation of the Muslim community. We hope to meet again in different cities.”
