Moreover, the Deoband also prefers to steer clear of Jamiat’s political inclinations. JUH leader Mahmood Madani is a Rajya Sabha MP from Ajit Singh’s RLD and Arshad Madani is also said to be planning to launch a party before the next general election. JUH leader in West Bengal Siddiqullah Chowdhury has already launched a political party which had succeeded in thwarting the cause of the Left Front in the recent panchayat elections.

The immediate reason behind the Deoband’s decision is said to be the conflict that took place in the premises of the seminary on the night of May 31, the day when Darul Uloom rector Maulana Marghubur Rahman attended the massive anti-terrorism conference in New Delhi’s Ramlila Ground. As the conference was organised by JUH leader and MP Maulana Mahmood Madani, the Arshad Madani camp had made a big issue of it with even students taking sides.
