Asad Madani

As’ad Madani (27 April 1928 – 6 February 2006) was an Indian Deobandi Islamic scholar and a politician, who served as the sixth general secretary and the seventh President of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind.

Madani's parliamentary speeches were released by the former Prime Minister of India Manmohan Singh in the same seminar.

During the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971, Madni strongly protested against the brutal torture of the Pakistan Army and its allied forces, and distributed adequate aid to the memorial camps.

He projected his views to stop the torture of innocent Bengalis and marched in the streets of Delhi with more than fifty thousand Indian Muslims in favour of Bangladesh.

His last visit to the country was on 2 April 2005 when he was an honorary guest at the National Conference of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Bangladesh at Paltan Maidan, Dhaka.
