Jamaat and constitution
Let's hit at the crux of the issues.
Jamaat is based on Moududi's ideas where state demarcations amongst nations, let alone Islamic states, are not recognised and in that aspect the division of India into three countries after 1947 and even the dismantling of the Caliphate states into several Muslim countries are not acceptable to them.
But there is one thing we have to remember. There is a massive chance that ordinary people like me, who do not believe in the Jamaat's stand, may get caught in the vortex of violent measures taken by the Jamaat's hit-groups if they are banned from politics.
I believe no political party should be banned. Everyone has the right to talk and preach as long as that does not amount to treason.
