NEW DELHI: One of the prominent Muslim organisation of the country Jamaat-e-Islami Hind (JIH) on Sunday criticised the central government for not allowing it to hold a rally in the national capital.
“The JIH lodges a strong protest against the curbing the freedom of the citizens of the country”, said Nusrat Ali, Secretary General of the organisation.
The permission of the rally was withdrawn at the last moment due to the US President’s visit here.
