Mushawarat condemns the Andhra Pradesh Goverment’s
vendetta politics
New Delhi, 22 January 2013:
Dr. Zafarul-Islam Khan,
President of All India Muslim Majlis-e Mushawarat (AIMMM),
the umbrella body of
Indian Muslim organizations, said here today in a press
statement that the revival
of an old case and arrest of the Majlis Ittehadul Muslimin
leader and Member of
Parliament Mr Asaduddin Owaisi is a clear case of vendetta
politics resorted to
by the Congress government in Andhra Pradesh only because
the MIM opted out of
the ruling coalition in the state two months ago. Action
should be taken
against those police and judicial officials who failed their
duty in a case
pending since 2005 which, prima facie,
seems frivolous and driven by the anti-Muslim
bias which has become the hallmark of the Andhra
Police which could not
restrain itself from firing even at the protesters who came
out against the
Makkah Masjid blast in May 2007 and later arbitrarily
arrested dozens of blameless
Muslim youths who were later declared totally innocent by
courts. This is the
same police force which failed to take any action against
VHP leader
Togadia despite a
number of FIRs filed against
him. He freely spit venom in Hyderabad
last month and went away under airport-to-airport security
provided by this
very force.
AIMMM
demands that the A.P. government must stop this petty
vendetta politics,
release Mr Asaduddin Owaisi and his brother Mr Akbaruddin
Owaisi, MLA, on bail
and let the courts judge if they are really guilty. As of
now, it is the
administration which is drastically misusing its powers to
silence political
dissent.

Mushawarat chief
writes to the Union Home Minister on saffron terror
New Delhi, 22 January 2013:
Dr. Zafarul-Islam Khan,
President of All India Muslim Majlis-e Mushawarat (AIMMM),
wrote a letter today to
Shri Sushil Kumar Shinde, Hon’ble Union Home Minister,
congratulating him for
his candid statement on the saffron terror. Dr Khan asked Shri
Shinde to
expedite the probe and judicial proceedings in the saffron
terror case. He said
that what has been exposed so far is only the tip of the
iceberg. Dr Khan
also asked the Home Minister to order a judicial probe into all
the terror
incidents which took place since the BJP came to power in
certain states and
later at the Central level in the wake of the demolition of
the Babri Masjid in
1992. Only such a high-lelvel unbiased probe will uncover the
reality of
terrorism in India,
he said.
Dr Khan further said in his
letter, “Those who have been nabbed so far are the expendable
lower rung
workers who actually plant bombs. It is particularly worrying
that persons like
Indresh Kumar and Praveen Togadia, whose names appear in the Malegaon
and Ajmer
blasts chargesheets, have not been even interrogated till
date. Outfits like
Abhinav Bharat, Sanatan Sanstha, Bajrang Dal, Arya Sena, Sri
Ram Sene etc have
not been touched. Places like Bhonsla Military School of Nasik
and Pune and the
Akanksha Resort of Pune have not been probed and the thousands
of Hindutva
terrorists who received arms and explosives training in these
and other camps over
many years have not been traced so far, which means that they
remain free to
undertake their terrorist activities with impunity. It is also
strange that
BJP-ruled states like Gujarat,
Madhya Pradesh
and Karnataka where these terrorists find safe haven, have not
been taken to
task.”
Dr Khan asked the Union Home
Minister to seriously detoxify the Police and Intelligence
personnel who have
been infiltrated by saffron elements who, in turn, facilitate
and cover up
saffron terror activities.

Text of the AIMMM President to the Hon’ble Union Home Minister
22
January 2013
Shri
Sushil Kumar Shinde
Hon’ble
Union Home Minister
Governmt
of India
New
Delhi
Dear
Sir,
Please
accept my sincere congratulations for your courage to say
publicly what is
well-known to those concerned with the security and safety of
our country,
especially since Martyr Hemant Karkare, the then chief of
Maharashtra ATS,
exposed the vast secret network of Hindutva terrorists in 2008
while
investigating the Malegaon
blast of that year.
We hope and urge you that the
investigations and court
proceedings should be expedited and the real culprits who
plan, finance and
direct Hindutva terror, are exposed, nabbed and sentenced.
Those who have been
nabbed so far are the expendable lower rung workers who
actually plant bombs. It
is particularly worrying that persons like Indresh Kumar and
Praveen Togadia,
whose names appear in the Malegaon
and Ajmer
blasts chargesheets,
have not been even interrogated till date. Outfits like
Abhinav Bharat, Sanatan
Sanstha, Bajrang Dal, Arya Sena, Sri Ram Sene etc have not
been touched. Places
like Bhonsla Military
School of Nasik
and Pune and the Akanksha Resort of Pune have not been probed
and the thousands
of Hindutva terrorists who received arms and explosives
training in these and
other camps over many years have not been traced so far, which
means that they remain
free to undertake their terrorist activities with impunity. It
is also strange
that BJP-ruled states like Gujarat,
Madhya
Pradesh and Karnataka where these terrorists find safe haven,
have not been
taken to task.
Please allow me to say that apart
from nabbing these
terrorists, your ministry also has the task of detoxifying the
Police and Intelligence
personnel who have been infiltrated by saffron elements who,
in turn,
facilitate and cover up saffron terror activities.
It is our studied opinion that what
has been exposed
of the vast saffron terror network so far is just the tip of
the iceberg. We
request you to order a judicial probe into all the terror
incidents which took
place since the BJP came to power in certain states and later
at the Central
level in the wake of the demolition of the Babri Masjid in
1992. Only such a high-level unbiased probe will uncover the reality of
terrorism in India.
I take this opportunity to send you a
copy of Godse’s
Children – Hindutva terror in India
by Subhash Gatade. It is about the saffron terror. I hope you
will find time to
read it.
Yours
sincerely
Dr
Zafarul-Islam Khan
President
