New Delhi: Following the CBI’s conclusions that radical Hindu groups carried out the 2007 bomb attacks on Muslim holy places in Hyderabad, Indian Muslim Council-USA has demanded immediate financial reparations to the innocent Muslims falsely arrested in the case.
Rasheed Ahmed, President, Indian Muslim Council-USA, has strongly supported the similar demand made by Ms. Brinda Karat, CPI-M leader, on the investigation into the tragic Makkah Masjid bomb blast.
According to media reports, after three years of investigation, the prestigious Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) believes that radical Hindu groups carried out the 2007 bomb attacks on Muslim holy places in Ajmer, and Hyderabad, that killed several people. CBI’s conclusions are based on Rajasthan Anti-Terror Squad’s meticulous investigation, resulting in the arrest of extremists – none of whom are Muslims. The accused are believed to be associated with Abhinay Bharat, a Hindu radical group that allegedly planned and executed the 2008 terror attack in Malegaon, Maharashtra, killing six and maiming over a hundred people.
“We applaud the excellent and unbiased work by Rajasthan’s Anti-Terror Squad, and by the elite CBI. We join Honorable Ms. Karat in demanding immediate financial reparations to the innocent Muslims, falsely arrested in Hyderabad,” IMC-USA president said.
He also demanded check on investigating agencies regarding their hasty conclusions soon after a terror blast in the country.
“Finally, we demand that measures be immediately implemented, to prevent Law Enforcement Agencies from rushing to similar hasty conclusions in the future.” said Mr. Ahmed of Indian Muslim Council-USA,” Mr Rasheed said.
While these terror attacks themselves were terribly frightening for all Indians, the government and media’s hastened acceptance without due diligence, wrongfully asserting that Muslims were responsible for it, surely created a ghastly and unending nightmare for scores of innocent Muslims and Muslim community at large. Young Muslims were falsely accused, arrested, and tortured. Such treatment of citizenry by the Police undermines the confidence in the professionalism and neutrality of the law and order. Further, torture of any human being whether accused or convicted does not suit a nation with aspirations to be a global leader, he added.
