Names of shopkeepers on the Kavad Yatra route… A shocking statement from the country’s largest Muslim organization, will the stance change?

New Delhi. Before the Kavad Yatra in the month of Sawan, a decision of the UP government has become a topic of discussion in the country. The Yogi government has issued an order to shopkeepers on the Kavad route to put up boards with their names, which the leaders of the India Alliance are opposing. Now a statement of the Muslim organization Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind has also come out in this matter. The organization criticized the decision of the Yogi government and said on Saturday that this is a “discriminatory and communal” decision. It is also a violation of the fundamental rights enshrined in the Constitution.

Jamiat also says that its legal team will consider the legal aspects of this order. The Uttar Pradesh government had earlier ordered all hotels, dhabas and eateries including carts located on the 240 km long Kanwar Yatra route in Muzaffarnagar district to display the names of their owners or those working at these shops. Then a few days later on Friday, the government decided to issue a similar order for the entire state.

Jamiat chief Maulana Arshad Madani said in a statement, “This is a discriminatory and communal decision. This decision will give an opportunity to anti-national elements to take advantage and this new order is likely to cause serious damage to communal harmony, which violates the fundamental rights of citizens granted in the Constitution.” The statement said that Jamiat has called a meeting of its legal team on Sunday in which the legal aspects of this “unconstitutional and illegal order” will be discussed.

Madani also said, “All the citizens of the country have been given complete freedom in the Constitution to wear whatever they want, eat whatever they want, no one will interfere in their personal choice, because these are matters of fundamental rights of the citizens.” He said that the order regarding Kanwar Yatra in Uttar Pradesh is a violation of fundamental rights.
