April 03: Rohingya Muslims of Myanmar are leading a miserable life. The Govt. of Myanmar doesn’t recognize them as the citizens of the country. The Muslims of Myanmar are the worst affected persons in the world. In 1948, Burma got freedom from the slavery of the Britishers but the Muslims of this country didn’t yet get freedom.

Rakhain is the province which is adjacent to the border of Bangladesh. The Muslims of Myanmar are therefore taking shelter in Bangladesh. Islam has established the concept of brotherhood. It declared that a Muslim is the brother of another Muslim. Therefore, it is the responsibility of all the Muslims of the world to help the Muslims suffering in any part of the world.

These thoughts were expressed by Mr. Mohammed Abdur Rahim Quraishi, President of All India Majlis-e-Tameer-e-Millat while addressing a gathering of the study circle of Tameer-e-Millat held on the last Sunday. On Bloodshed of Burmese Muslims and the indifference of the World.

Mr. Mohammed Ziauddin Nayyar, Acting President of Iqbal Academy told that the brutal killings of the Muslims of Myanmar and their life of helplessness aggrieves even the cruel persons. The attitude of the Budhists has exposed their artificial Philosophy.

Mr. Aziz Pasha, former Rajya Sabha member of CPI told that we should tight against terrorism. The Muslim ambassadors in India should be given resolutions by various organization to help these victims. He told that the Budhists are making an attempt to send the Muslims away from Myanmar.

Maulana Ilyas Hashmi told that many innocent lives are being destroyed in Myanmar but the international media is keeping silent.
