Key Highlights

  • Authorities have started a process of profiling mosques, madrassas and persons associated with the management of religious institutions in the Union territory, following the busting of the ‘white collar’ terror module last year.
  • A proforma has been given to village numberdars (village-level revenue staff) for getting details of mosques, madrassas, Imams, teachers and management committee members of these institutions.
  • “They (police) already have details by virtue of Aadhaar and other documents.
  • This profiling is an attempt to intimidate the specific class of people from a particular religion who are involved in preaching the religion,” Mehdi said.
  • He alleged that the profiling seems to be an exercise by the BJP and the RSS to control the mosques.
