Political activity

TNTJ decided not to support any political party.

Protests

TNTJ has held demonstrations and protests across Tamil Nadu several times on various issues including reconstruction of Babri Masjid, removal of liquor shops and load shedding.[1][2][3] Its leader P Jainulabdeen encourages followers to observe peaceful protests and to avoid any inconvenience to traffic.[4] In September 2012, the U.S. Consulate encouraged U.S. citizens traveling in and around Chennai to exercise caution and monitor local media for security updates, owing to a protest by TNTJ following an anti-Islamic movie.[5][6] On 28 January 2014, TNTJ organized a protest to demand increase in reservation for Muslims in Tamil Nadu.[7]

Community work


Donation of blood is highly encouraged among TNTJ followers.[8] It has won government awards for making the highest amount of blood donations in Tamil Nadu in about 10 successive years. It has offered help and support during tsunami relief in several affected areas. Its relief program during Chennai flood of 2015, whose estimated cost was twenty five crore, was a noticeable one. TNTJ has also created awareness among masses about dengue fever.[9] Free water stalls in summer throughout Chennai and Tamil Nadu.

Free book stalls and distributing free Quran to non muslims throughout Tamil Nadu.
