Perturbed by growing tendency of stereotyping of Muslims after terror attacks, a prominent body of the communityon Sunday decided to form defence groups against terrorism across the country.

The Jamiat-Ulama-i-Hind President Maulana Arshad Madani here said that the organisation would launch an effective movement against terrorist and disruptive forces in every nook and corner of the country.

"The General Body (of the group) has decided to form defence groups against terrorism throughout the country," he said, adding committees at the Central, state, district and block levels will be formed to carry forward the programme.
