SDPI urges Cong Govt. to release Muslim youths slammed with fabricated terror charges

Bhopal, November 16 (Pervez Bari): The Social Democratic Party of India, (SDPI), has demanded the release of innocent Muslim youths accused of bomb blasts, who are languishing in jails, wherein investigating agencies have now revealed that Hindutva activists are the real culprits and have even filed charge-sheets in court of law in some cases against them.
SDPI national general secretary A. Sayeed in a statement said that if Congress is sincere in condemning the saffron terror, it should then also work for the release of innocent Muslims put behind bars on mere suspicion. In incidents such as bomb blasts in Ajmer shrine, Makkah Masjid (Hyderabad), Malegaon etc. the probing agencies have now unraveled the knots and hands of saffron terror network are visible in these heinous crimes. Thus, by corollary the Muslim youths, who have been slammed with fabricated charges, stand fully exculpated, the statement said.
Sayeed said that the Congress leaders are making use of the new revelation of the investigating agencies just to retaliate against RSS leader who raised allegation against the All India Congress Committee, (AICC), president Mrs. Sonia Gandhi. On the other hand, it seems that, they have forgotten the innocent people lying behind the bars for years. Congress leaders should bring pressure on the party's governments to set free Muslim youths so that their careers which are at stake are not ruined permanently. The nation-wide tendency of finding easy targets in Muslims is to be checked, he appealed.
He pointed out that the AICC general secretary Digvijay Singh's statement at Nagpur that all Hindus arrested for their alleged involvement in terror activities across the country are linked to RSS will remain mere political game if he fails to speak up for innocent Muslim youths demanding their release forthwith. The AICC has been blaming BJP and RSS for the Babri Masjid demolition but taking no legal action against them, he added.
Meanwhile, it may be pointed out here that a new report on violent extremists in the United States have found that terrorism plots by non-Muslims greatly outnumbered those attempted by Muslims, and that Muslim-American communities helped foil close to a third of Al-Qaeda-related terror plots threatening the country since September 11, 2001. The Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), a not-for-profit organization advocating for the civil rights of American Muslims, commissioned the report. (pervezbari@eth.net)
