Indian American Muslim Council on Election Results
Today's election results are indeed disappointing - yet today we must further strengthen our resolve to elevate our advocacy efforts for Indian Muslims. We owe this to our brothers and sisters in India to not let today’s results distract us or demoralize us from our strategic focus of combating the fascist ideology of Hindutva. Our battle is not against Modi, or BJP or Congress for that matter. Modi and BJP are simply manifestations of the Hindutva ideology. Our battle has always been against Hindutva and its hate filled ideology, and the election result does little to change our strategic focus.
The IAMC leadership team will be meeting in the coming days to review and re-calibrate some of our advocacy strategies to ensure we remain a powerful and effective voice that advocates for safety, security and rights of Indian Muslims on every front. We must remain steadfast in our objective of defeating Hindutva by exposing their hateful ideology. In this month of Ramadan, please keep our Indian Muslim brothers and sisters in our Duas and beseech Allah SWT for their security, protection and well-being. "O believers! Stand firm for Allah and bear true testimony. Do not let the hatred of a people lead you to injustice. Be just! That is closer to righteousness. And be mindful of Allah. Surely Allah is All-Aware of what you do" (Translation of The Quran 5:8)
I look forward to your continued support for IAMC.
