There has been an uproar over the statement given by Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind chief Maulana Mahmood Madani regarding the Supreme Court at a program in Bhopal. Madani said that the Supreme Court deserves to be called Supreme only as long as it follows the rules and takes care of the duties of the law. If he does not do so then he is not morally entitled to be called supreme. All India Muslim Jamaat chief Maulana Shahabuddin Rajavi Barelvi has reacted to his statement.
Maulana Shahabuddin said that not only me, but crores of Muslims of India do not agree with his statement. He said, “Maulana Mahmood Madani is a religious person. He should speak from a religious perspective. He should not provoke Muslims. Crores of Muslims trust the Supreme Court, Parliament and the government.”

Maulana Madani had also objected to the questions being raised regarding the word Jihad. Speaking at the National Governing Body meeting of Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind, he said that the enemies of Jihad, Islam and Muslims have transformed the sacred ideas of Islam like Jihad into words associated with misuse, disturbance and violence.
‘Whenever there is oppression, there will be jihad’
Mahmood Madani said that by using words like Love Jihad, Land Jihad, Education Jihad and Spit Jihad, Muslims are hurt a lot and their religion is insulted. He said that people holding responsible positions in the government and media also use such words. They have no shame nor do they care about hurting the entire community.
Muslims feeling unsafe: Madani
Madani said, “Today Muslims feel unsafe on the road. They have to face hatred at every step. Now we have to be prepared. Those who convert to a particular religion in the name of returning home have a free hand. No questions are raised against them nor any legal action is taken. This is a completely double attitude.”
Raising questions on the Supreme Court, Mahmood Madani said, “It is impossible to create law and order and crime-free society in any country without justice. Sadly, in the last few years, especially after the decisions in cases like Babri Masjid and Triple Talaq, it has become a common thought that the courts are working under government pressure. Various interpretations of constitutional rules and basic principles related to minorities have raised serious questions on the role of the judiciary.”
