It is hardly surprising that the familiar chorus of anti-India voices has grown louder in opposition to the tour, and Chicago-based non-governmental organisation (NGO), “Justice For All,” has emerged as a key advocate among those seeking to push this agenda. Of course, the familiar vocabulary soon makes an appearance: human and minority rights, equality, justice and everything in between, carefully woven for an appealing moral veneer both to attract their audience and deceive the unaware.
It read, “The RSS sits at the centre of the Hindutva extremist movement which has helped drive state-sponsored discrimination, hate speech, violence against minorities and the repression of journalists, activists and civil society in India,” on social media. “Bhagwat’s presence would normalise the RSS and legitimise in the US the exclusionary ideological movement causing deep concern among Sikhs, Muslims, Christians, Dalits and others,” the post further claimed.
Justice For All even launched an online campaign that urged people to put pressure on the US government to bar Bhagwat from entering the United States. Supporters were asked to add their names, email addresses and locations to an already drafted message addressed to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
The message itself followed a familiar line of attack. It portrayed Bhagwat as the head of the RSS and the wider network of organisations collectively referred to as the Sangh Parivar, which took inspiration from Nazi Germany and allegedly tried to “cleanse” India of Abrahamic faiths.
However, the demographic picture tells a different story. The growth of both the Muslims and Christian populations in India counters the sweeping accusations, but inconvenient facts are often pushed aside when propaganda takes centre stage. Afterwards, the already discredited discourse surrounding attacks on churches and mosques was again brought to the fore as if Hindu temples are neither vandalised nor desecrated in both India and abroad.
The “NGO” acknowledged, “Bhagwat keeps himself insulated from the attacks, by continually speaking of India being open to religious traditions and Hindu as a culture.” However, in a bizarre demonstration of guilty by association, it declared that “by extension, he is equally culpable as the perpetrators” for not sending his “troops” to stop them.
If this logic is applied, then authorities and administrations globally should also be held responsible for every crime within their jurisdictions due to their failure to deploy personnel to prevent it. The petition then concluded with a statement to “support policies to promote accountability, respect for human rights, and responsible stewardship of taxpayer resources in India. Allowing Bhagwat to visit will provide a whitewash to the RSS in America.”
The familiar anti-India and Hinduphobic narrative had simply been repackaged and delivered, dressed in the same emotive language designed to stir public sentiment and sympathy for their divisive intention.
What is Justice For All
Justice For All was founded in 2001 by Pakistani-born American imam, author and media operator named Abdul Malik Mujahid and is currently chaired by Dr Khursheed Mallick. It holds consultative status with the United Nations Department of Public Information and masquerades as a human-rights organisation committed to the concerns of “Muslim minorities.” It is a result of advocacy work over supposed breaches of human rights in Bosnia and later Kosovo during the dissolution of the former Yugoslavia.
However, it essentially serves as a propaganda platform with deep animosity towards India, like the rest of these entities which aim to demonise Hindus by using the RSS, Bharatiya Janata Party, Hindutva and Prime Minister Narendra Modi as tools through selective human rights language, genocidal rhetoric and US lobbying.
A glimpse at its website is enough to tear away the mask, revealing its fixation on making outrageous parallels to demean the country while posing as a champion of minority rights.
Notably, Mujahid, who was born and educated in Sindh, was also the president of Islami Jamiat-e-Talaba (IJT), which is affiliated with Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan. Jamaat-e-Islami was created in British India to implement Islamic Law. However, it was split into separate parts after the partition and independence of Bangladesh, yet the core principles remained unchanged.
Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan strictly opposes the non-existent secularism in the Islamic Republic and wants to impose Sharia Law. It is also notorious for its violent actions, targeting of minorities, especially Hindus and promoting extremist views. The outfit has consistently called for Kashmir’s separation from India and even urged the Muslim Ummah to unite in pursuit of this objective.
Given such roots, Mujahid’s hatred for India and Hindus hardly comes as a surprise. However, he seems to have mastered the art of presenting his Islamist agenda to Western audiences in a compelling manner, cloaking his actual goals behind the arguments for human rights and obscuring his real motives and profound hypocrisy.
He also authored a book, “Conversion to Islam: Untouchables Strategy for Protest in India” in 1989, glorifying conversions as a revolt against “untouchability,” while exonerating the role of petrodollars in facilitating this menace. He tied “Hindu revivalism” with “Hindu chauvinism” and blamed it for the bloodshed, upheaval, armed movements and agitations not only among the purported “untouchables” but also “Sikhs, Jharkhandis of Bihar, the Naxalites, the Assamese and the Indian Muslims.”
Mujahid clubbed all these together to first sanitise violence and terrorism and to showcase Hindus as the real source of the problem. It is an agenda he has continued to push ever since. Today, he is asserting to “lead efforts to stop genocide” in campaigns such as the Save Uyghur campaign, Save India from Fascism, Burma Task Force, and Kashmir Action in campaigns.
The strategy is simple: claim human rights abuses selectively while conveniently overlooking the massacres of minorities in nations such as Pakistan and Bangladesh. Additionally, it places a specific emphasis on India and highlights dubious and biased reports to lend credibility to narratives of “Muslim victimhood.” The issue of caste is also touted as “India’s sanctioned apartheid” to continue to exploit the fault lines and drive a wedge between Dalits and the so-called upper castes.
There is a calculated and repeated attempt to form a forceful equivalence between the RSS-BJP and the Nazis, even showcasing Bhagwat as the head of a “Nazi party” who should not be allowed on American soil. He is going to speak at Madison Square Garden in New York on 29th August, where more than 5,000 Indian Americans could assemble for the “Universal Oneness Celebrations” program. Predictably, it has also triggered sharp criticism from the group.
The hostility towards Hindus and the anti-India activism
Justice For All has embarked on a mission to target India and has endorsed the recommendations of the USCIRF (United States Commission on International Religious Freedom) to add the country to the CPC (Country of Particular Concern) list. It complained that the body has been making this suggestion since 2020, but the US Department of State consistently failed to act on it.
According to USCIRF, asset freezes and a travel ban should be slapped on both the Research & Analysis Wing and the RSS. It has outlined the arbitrary report to protest against Bhagwat’s visit. The commission targeted PM Modi and the RSS with unsubstantiated allegations of orchestrating attacks on Muslims and Christians, insisting that “RSS leaders, even when affiliated with the Indian government, should not be honoured with high-level meetings or diplomatic courtesies,” while pressing for sanctions against its members.

Therefore, it is understandable why Justice For All, similar to the rest of this anti-India ecosystem, was eager for these obnoxious recommendations to be imposed.
Moreover, the outfit has also been involved in congressional briefings, seeking sanctions and starting petitions against India and informed that “our petition asking the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation not to honour Prime Minister Modi gained more than 100,000 signatures.”
The group compared Indian policies to Nuremberg-style laws and PM Modi to Adolf Hitler in a report titled “The Nazification of India.” It repeated the disputed Gujarat riots narrative from 2002, maintaining that he “presided over a pogrom” that killed around 2,000 people, the majority of whom were Muslims.
It is noteworthy that the Supreme Court had cleared him of any involvement in the unrest. However, Justice For All ignores the results of the Special Investigation Team (SIT) formed by the apex court, the ensuing clean chits along with the troubling reality and extent of Islamist violence, and uses contested reports and media rankings to support its allegations.
How can an anti-India narrative be complete without accusing the nation of “occupying” Kashmir while completely glossing over the region’s true cultural and historical reality? Justice For All adheres to the same playbook, crying about human-rights violations in the valley, including supposed extrajudicial killings, detention, demographic change and cultural erasure.
The outfit, which reportedly provided a platform to convicted ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence) agent Ghulam Nabi Fai, painted Indian security measures in Kashmir as systematic repression, while the suffering of Hindus, from the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits to the massacre of 25 Hindu tourists in Pahalgam last year, went without any word of compassion for the actual victims of jihad.
The blast at the Red Fort was also leveraged for the same objective with no regard for the lives lost. The organisation has, in essence, adopted Pakistan’s stand on Kashmir, striving to convert it into an Islamist hub within a secular country where only Muslims should possess the right to exist.
Justice For All further demands the release of people facing serious charges in its initiative “Prisoners of Haqq“, implying that their incarceration is not due to unlawful conduct, but rather in pursuit of an honourable cause. It features people such as Dukhtaran-e-Millat chief Asiya Andrabi, who has been found guilty under the UAPA (Unlawful Activities Prevention Act) and awarded life imprisonment.
Indian legal system follows due process, as those deemed innocent or against whom sufficient evidence is not established are released. However, the group’s agenda goes beyond vilifying New Delhi and extends to interfere in its internal affairs.
Justice For All also built its agenda around an Amnesty report, “Made in India: The Supply of Weapons and Ammunition to Israel,l” charging that the Indian government and private companies were selling weapons to Israel and demanding an immediate end to it while “questioning” the silence of American media over the matter. Meanwhile, Hamas has marked its presence in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, intending to incite jihad against India.
Taking cues from the script of the propaganda web series “Laila,” the group accused that the Taj Mahal was under threat, asserting that the Babri Masjid was earlier handed over to Hindus on the grounds of faith. It entirely distorted the Supreme Court judgement, contending that it indicated there was no proof of a temple at that location.
The outfit then utilised Diljit Dosanjh’s film “Satluj” which downplays Khalistani terrorists to further malign India. Interestingly, Mujahid has charged the Indian film industry with acting as an instrument of the nation’s foreign policy, except apparently when it is useful for his agenda.
Justice For All further stepped up its attacks on India after the government warned of action against it, pointing to the sustained propaganda against the country.
In bed with the ICNA
It is common knowledge that Islamo-leftist factions, such as Justice For All, operate in the same space, often working in close coordination with one another. Mujahid’s Sound Vision, for instance, has been reported to share a close relationship with ICNA (Islamic Circle of North America). Both take their ideological guidance from a mutual source: Jamaat-e-Islami.
Mujahid was selected as ICNA supremo (amir) after he landed in the US, and Hizbul Mujahideen commander Syed Salahuddin was interviewed for its magazine “The Message International” during his tenure in 1997. Salahuddin was hailed as a hero for his violent endeavour to separate Kashmir from India and unite it with Pakistan,n announcing him as an “undisputed leader of the mujahideen struggling to liberate the territory of Kashmir from brutal Indian occupation.”
ICNA continually attacks the Hindu community. It has strong connections to terrorist organisations in Pakistan and has been probed by US congressional committees for its proximity to international terrorist groups including the Muslim Brotherhood.
The group has an extensive track record of ties to Jamaat-e-Islami, its members and leaders. Helping Hand for Relief and Development (HHRD), its international charity division, has relations with terrorist groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba, and people connected to jihadi entities like the Hizbul Mujahideen and even the ISI.
Furthermore, the founder ofthe Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) also joined ICNA. Ghulam Nabi Fai has also been provided a podium to address various programs organised by the latter. “Jamaat-e-Islami believes in Islamic revolution, with the ultimate goal of establishing a global Islamic superstate, ruled by sharia. This is exactly what is preached by ICNA at its conventions, at its events and in its publications,” stated Abha Shankar of the Investigative Project on Terrorism, reported Islamist Watch.
“ICNA’s radical leadership not only includes ties to Jamaat-e-Islami, but it has also glorified jihad and martyrdom, and speaks in support of Islamist movements,” she added.
The campaign against Mohan Bhagwat
It is not difficult to comprehend why Bhagwat, PM Modi, the BJP or the RSS remain in the crosshairs of this extremist cabal, which celebrates jihad and terrorism while attacking India and Hindus. Anyone who speaks openly about Hinduism, embraces the civilisational legacy of the country or its Hindu heritage is quickly branded a “threat to minority rights.”
This seems to lie at the heart of the resentment towards a Hindu-majority nation that is increasingly confident about asserting its own identity. Hence, the allegations of persecution and manufactured victimhood are repeatedly pushed into the discourse, without substantive evidence to support them, to show the Hindu community as an intolerant mob emboldened by a Hindutva government.
Bhagwat has also described India as fundamentally a Hindu nation based on culture and ancestry, not religion. Moreover, the RSS-led fight against conversions along with the work undertaken by its volunteers to counter the epidemic is another point of contention for Islamists.
Thus, the very idea of a proud Hindu leader heading a popular organisation being welcomed in another country becomes enough to provoke outrage. However, the underlying objective is to target India and Hindus, sometimes aiming at Bhagwat or PM Modi, and at other times using others as the vehicle for the same narrative. And this propaganda is going to intensify with time as these sinister forces will definitely up the ante in the days ahead.
