New Delhi: A Muslim delegation who met Home Minister Amit Shah to convey their apprehension over the increased incidents of communal violence said the Minister was attentive, responding positively and promised to look into the issues they have raised.

According to the NDTV report, the Muslim leaders who met Shah included Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind president Maulana Mahmood Madani, secretary Niyaz Faruqui and All India Muslim Personal Law Board members Kamal Faruqui and Professor Akhtarul Wasey.

The NDTV reported that Niyaz Faruqui, a member of the delegation, stated that they expressed their concerns about 14 challenges confronting the country during the meeting with the Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

Additionally, the delegation also discussed the recent incidents of communal violence in Bihar, West Bengal, and Maharashtra as their primary topics of discussion.

According to Niyaz Faruqui, a member of the delegation, Home Minister Amit Shah listened carefully to their concerns and responded positively during the meeting. The incidents of communal violence, many of which occurred during Ram Navami processions in non-BJP-ruled states, were discussed.

The BJP alleged that their rallies were attacked, while the Opposition parties accused the BJP of engineering the violence for political gains. The Muslim leaders also brought up the incident in Bihar's Nalanda where a madrasa was set on fire, as well as the killings of Junaid and Nasir by cow vigilantes in Rajasthan's Bharatpur.

Hate speeches by BJP leaders were also discussed, with the delegation highlighting their concerns about the government's silence on the issue. The subjects of same-sex marriage and the Uniform Civil Code were also raised, although the Home Minister did not react to them.

Faruqui described the meeting as a "breaking ice" meeting and stated that the delegation was taking an initiative to create cooperation and change the atmosphere in the country. The Home Minister promised to look into the issues raised and said, "I practice what I preach."
