JuD rejects accusation of blasphemous remarks against Guru Nanak

Spokesperson terms allegations by Indian media an attempt to divide Muslims and Sikhs

Jamat-ud-Dawah (JuD) spokesperson Yahya Mujahid on Monday rejected accusations by Indian media that JuD leader Hafiz Abdul Rehman Makki made blasphemous remarks against the Sikh sacred personality Baba Guru Nanak.

"Hafiz Abdul Rehman Makki never uttered any such words about the Sikh sacred personality in any of his speeches," Mujahid stated.

"India, merely out of panic over the succeeding Sikh separatist movements, is trying hard to create a rift between the two communities," he added.



“We have no doubt that the Sikh freedom movement is legitimate and is for the community’s just and fundamental rights. Just like Kashmiris, Sikhs must also be given their unalienable right to freedom and independence," he told the media.

According to Mujahid, the Khalistan Movement was in a decisive phase, and close enough to success, which has frustrated India to resorting to such malicious tactics.



"No propaganda can ever rupture the bond between the two communities, which are strongly knitted historically in brotherly ties," said the JuD spokesperson in reference to Muslims and Sikhs.

"The whole world is very well aware of India’s propaganda missions and how it tries to manipulate things in their favour. The freedom movement of Khalistan shall bear fruits soon, and India will not be able to suppress the indigenous struggle."
