Friends, ASAK
Mr. Muhammad Adeeb's very timely and emotional account of
despair should come out with some positive steps if we focus on unity and a
non-self-appointed leadership.
I propose a democratic organizing of the 25 crore Indian
Muslims, or at least the registered Muslim voters, as per records with the Election
Commission.
An 'ALL-INDIA MUSLIM ELECTION COUNCIL’ be formed,
preferably by young Muslim IT
professionals, granting all Muslims an open membership of the Council --- on one
person one vote basis.
Let all Muslim registered voters be listed on an open publicly available data-bank.
The choice of IT based
organisation is to save cost, opt for transparency and usher in young blood
into the mainstream of political mobilization.
The Council shall have conveners at all block level
constituencies, who will first monitor the membership registration drive. A FREE
membership, like AAP membership, is promoted, though by definition all Indian
Muslims will be considered general members of the Council.
With the help of our internet resources, we can have
nationwide referendum, to elect National Executive members. That exercise
should cut across all existing leadership conglomerates and open a real
democratic opening to a new leadership based on local grass-root mobilization.
All convening team members of the Council, would pledge to be neutral
and not be partial to any stakeholders for leadership team.
Widest numbers of
National Executive membership aspirants would be encouraged to place their names for being
voted by the membership.
That National Executive elections are not held till at least
a sizable percentage of members is registered on the Council Website and are
fully identifiable and verifiable.
The IT team should be highly motivated and committed to the
idea of forming a democratic leadership of 25 Crore Indian Muslims that may
eventually take up the mobilization of a political cadre as well as aspirants
of elected posts.
Those who are interested, my as a start contact me at the
following address and contact numbers with preferably their contact details.
It
may be clear from the outset, that we will not form a Muslim Political
Party. Instead we will encourage forming a Muslim led secular party that
will be most inclusive.
Sincerely,
Ghulam Muhammed Siddiqui
