"It is wrong to say that Muslims are opposed to the deal. It can go against the country but how can it go against the Muslim community?" asked Mr Mahmood Madani, general secretary of the Jamiat-ul-Ulema-e-Hind and a Rajya Sabha member belonging to Mr Ajit Singh’s Rashtriya Lok Dal. "We can be against the deal as Indians but not as Muslims," said Mr Madani. Further, he said that such a contention will only increase alienation between the country’s communities.
Mr Mujtaba Farooq, secretary (community and national affairs) of the Jamaat-e-Islami-Hind said that to say that the nuclear deal is against the Muslim community is wrong. However, Mr Farooq said that the deal does indicate India’s surrender before the US and is against national interest. Further, Mr Farooq noted that America symbolises imperialism, evident in its actions in Iraq, Afghanistan and also in the context of Palestine.
