Hyderabad: There seems to be a big conspiracy behind the attack on police picket in the Old City of Hyderabad today. This could be to defame Muslims and to silence them to demand justice in Mecca Masjid blast, said Lateef Mohd Khan, General Secretary, Civil Liberties Monitoring Committee.
A policeman was killed and two others were injured on Friday when two people on a motorcycle opened fire on a police picket in Shah Ali Banda area in the Old City of Hyderabad. The killers could not caught.
While condemning the attack on the police picket, Lateef Mohd Khan of CLMC has expressed surprise on how the attackers succeeded in their plan when the entire city is on high alert with police pickets dotting every nook and corner.
“It is a matter of wonder that culprits have done this kind of inhuman act at the time when the city is under red alert and high alert since one month; Police check-ups are going on in every nook and corner on every motor cyclist, because of which people have stopped coming out of their homes,” Khan said and added there could be a greater conspiracy behind the attack given the timing of the attack.
“This committee believes that it is a greater conspiracy to defame a particular community and to divert the people’s attention on the anniversary of Macca Masjid blast, because every year this is happening nearby the area of this place. It is also because of this incident that Muslims are neither in a position to conduct a protest meeting nor to pay their tribute to the Martyrs of Macca Masjid blast victims and subsequent police firing victims.”
CLMC urged the authorities as well as media not to jump to conclusion only to feel sorry later.
“Police or media should not jump to any conclusion on this firing incident; it should be investigated by keeping in view every possible angle. If this is not done in the above manner, then it would be like repeating the mistake that was done immediately after the Macca Masjid blast.”
