New Delhi: The President of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, Maulana Syed Jalaluddin Umari congratulated Erdogan and the people of Turkey for thwarting a coup attempt at the hands of a section of the military.
Jamaat-e-Islami Hind condemns the attempt to topple the democratically elected government in Turkey. Maulana Umari said that: ‘’Turkey is a very important regional power and has achieved great success in delivering economic prosperity to its people. The Turkish government has given the much needed stability to Turkey and is an indispensable partner to many countries for achieving peace and stability in the region.
There are some powers that do not want to see a strong Turkey and are eager to create chaos and instability in the Middle East. These are the same powers who are the biggest suppliers of arms and ammunition and do not want to see peace in the region. Jamaat-e-Islami Hind strongly condemns the attempted coup by these forces and their henchmen and advises them to desist from trying to topple democratically elected government of Turkey through fascist means like coup and military takeover.
Jamaat also applauds and salutes the brave people of Turkey who heeded the call of their President to save their country and braved the savagery of military tanks and helicopters’’. The JIH chief said: ‘’we hope that normalcy is restored in Turkey as soon as possible and that the guilty are awarded exemplary punishment. We pray for the people who laid down their lives defending the freedom of their country and hope that Turkey continues to show the way for Muslim countries to become a shining example of peace and prosperity in the comity of nations’’.
