JUH objects to use of verses from Quran on Race2 posters

By TCN News,

New Delhi: Jamiat Ulama-i- Hind has objected to the Race 2 film poster that carries verses from holy Quran. In a letter to the Prime Minster of India and Ministry of Broadcasting, Maulana Mahmood Madani, general secretary of JUH demanded immediate action to stop publication and display of such “sacrilegious” posters.

“It has been brought to our notice that that Race 2 film posters displayed in many places at Kolkata, carry Quranic verses that has caused great anger to Muslim community. It appears that certain anti- social elements have taken upon themselves to disturb communal harmony and peace by inciting the religious passion and in this context it becomes all the more duty of the law and order authorities to curb such publications as a preventive measure,” Maulan Madani wrote in the letter.

He added that some sections in the world of cinema and book publications, despite being aware of the sensitivities, deliberately target sentiments of a particular community for cheap publication.

Abdul Hameed Noumani, Secretary for press, told TCN that it is not just this movie, but we see a trend of portraying Islam and Muslims in bad lights. Some wasted interest appear to be instigating Muslims all the time, and if you protest, you are accused of being conservative and narrow minded, he added.
