Antarrashtriya Hindu Parishad (AHP) and Rashtriya Bajarang Dal gave a memorandum to the collector in Sabarkantha demanding to ban Tablighi Jamaat, Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind, and Darul Uloom Deoband and close the Madrassa run by the three bodies with immediate effect.

AHP and Rashtriya Bajarang Dal have claimed to do a fierce movement if the actions won’t be taken. They gave example of Islamic country Saudi Arabia banning Tablighi Jamaat by considering it as an entry point of terrorism. AHP and Bajrang Dal claimed that these bodies can lead to civil war by making the country a center for Taliban activities. They have also demanded to take actions of jailing those involved in anti-national activities and promoting terrorist activities.

Saudi Arabia banned the Tablighi Jamaat and another Islamic body Da’wah group also known as Al Ahbab recently, claiming it as a danger to society and one of the gates of terrorism. The Tablighi jamaat is active in over 150 countries. It originated in India 100 years ago led by Mohammed Ilyas Kandhlawi, with an aim of exhorting the converts in India to give up practices from their Hindu past they had persisted with despite converting to Islam.

The ministry of Islamic affairs of Saudi Arabia tweeted on 6th December, “His Excellency the Minister of Islamic Affairs, Dr.#Abdullatif Al_Alsheikh directed the mosques’ preachers and mosques that held Friday prayer temporary to allocate next Friday sermon 5/6/ 1443 H to warn against (Tablighi & Da’wah group) which is called (Al Ahbab).”
