Bhopal: All India Muslim Forum, (AIMF), has strongly condemned the brutal crackdown on the peaceful protest of Baba Ramdev, and has termed it as the “resounding victory of corruption in the country”.
In a statement issued from Lucknow, the chairman of the Forum, Dr. M. K. Sherwani stressed that whatever might have been the personal credentials of Baba Ramdev, and by whomsoever he might have been inspired, as alleged by the Central government, but his campaign was for a noble cause which cannot be discarded on hypothetical grounds. If the allegations of wrong practices against him have any substance, they may be the subject of a separate probe.
Dr. Sherwani emphasized that the repeated assertions of All India Congress Committee general secretary Mr. Digvijay Singh, projecting Baba Ramdev as another face of RSS, is the most mischievous game plan of the Congress Party to invoke Muslim sympathy for the upcoming U.P. Assembly elections.
Even if the campaign of Baba Ramdev was sponsored by Hindutva forces, and was with ulterior motives, it does not exonerate the most corrupt Congress government of its heinous crimes, he added.(pervezbari@eth.net)
