Rashtriya Ulama Council or RUC was founded as a "Public Movement" against the backdrop of the Batla House encounter in Azamgarh district of Uttar Pradesh. Maulana Aamir Rashdi is the founder President of RUC.[4] As Maulana quotes, "For 66 years, Muslims have been a mere vote bank for political parties, just the way dalits are. Others attract Muslims votes by instilling the fear of Sangh (RSS) or BJP or Modi, as is the case now. It is high time Muslims created their political leadership."[5] He has even fought the 2014 Loksabha Elections from Azamgarh against Mulayam singh Yadav, the founder of Samajwadi Party stating that it's a fight for justice.[6] Maulana is known for his statements in favour of the marginalized sections of the society specially the Minorities and other oppressed classes.[7] He has led many mass movements on Muslim Reservation, Illegal detention of the Innocents, Article 341, Triple Talaq.[8]
