RSS conspiracy is behind the attack on the Saeed Masjid, said state general secretary Adv A Pookunhu. Such incidents were meant to provoke the Muslim community. Those involved in the attack should be charged with attempt to murder, he added. The meeting demanded that the attacked masjid and imam should be given remuneration of Rs 10 lakhs.
