Indian Muslim body demands respect for wishes of Egyptians

New Delhi, Feb 5, IRNA – Indian Muslim Apex body, All India Muslim Majlis-e Mushawarat (AIMMM), said here Saturday that the wishes of the Egyptian and other Arab peoples for a free and democratic polity must be respected by all including the Obama Administration.
“The whole Egyptian society has made it clear that it rejects the police state run by President Mubarak with foreign support. No gimmicks should be allowed to retain the repressive system intact sans Mubarak. The repressive apparatus based on police and an army of informers and plainclothes must be totally dismantled and true democracy should be allowed to take firm roots. Only an interim government headed by a figure from outside the ruling clique, and supported by the protesters, should be acceptable to the international community. The interim government should lead to fair and free elections reflecting the true aspirations of the Egyptian people”, said Dr. Zafarul-Islam Khan, President of AIMMM in a statement issued here today.

Condemning the western scaremongering about the Muslim Brotherhood’s role in the current protests, he said that there is no proof that the Muslim Brotherhood is behind the agitations rocking all parts of Egypt for the last 11 days. These protests are a genuine expression of the Egyptian people’s will to reject the current undemocratic regime and seek a free and fair society where all have equal democratic and political rights.

He Rejected the current American attempts to steer the protests to a situation where Mubarak goes but his apparatus remains intact with all its internal repression and foreign servitude.

Dr. Khan also asked the Indian government and all Non-Aligned and Muslim countries to come out with forceful support of the popular uprising of the Egyptian and other Arab peoples./end
