“Enough is enough,” said Maulan Azhari, President of Kul Jamati Tanzeem. He declared that if the Muslim youths are not released they will start a Jail Bharo Tehreek (court arrest) and will gherao the Assembly.
The protestors were demanding the release of these accused after the confessional statement of RSS pracharak and terror mastermind Swami Aseemanad wherein he admitted that Malegaon blast 2006 was done by the Sanghi group.
Exposing the dual role of Congress, Abu Asim Azmi, Ex-MP and the leader of Samajwadi Party said that it’s the Congress which agitated when the two SIMI members were released on bail for their good moral conduct in Madhya Pradesh. He also informed the audience who were gathered in Mumbai from Aurangabad and Malegaon, “Congress government never appealed when a court lifted ban on RSS after 1992 but was quick to take the stay from the Supreme Court when special tribunal lifted the ban on SIMI.”

Referring to the Assembly elections going to be held in 5 states, Farid Khan, Secretary, Qaumi Majlis-e-Shoora said that Muslims must vote positively and should not fall in the trap of Congress that BJP will come to power. He said, “Muslims should vote positively and must vote for an alternative to the BJP and Congress in the Assembly elections going to be held in 4 states.”
Aslam Gazi, Spokesperson of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, Maharashtra demanded the immediate withdrawal of the case against the 9 Muslim youths of Malegaon. He said, “In the wake of the confessional statement of Swami Aseemanad, CBI must withdraw the case but they are denying even the bail, it’s shameless.”
He demanded compensation for these accused, arrests of Sanghi terrorists and punishment for the guilty police officers who implicated these youths.
Aslam Gazi also demanded that R.R. Patil, the Home Minister of Maharashtra, should resign.”
Fazlur Rehman from Jamiat Ahle Hadith, Malegaon which is a part of Kul Jamaati Tanzeem, said, “Now onwards, we have decided that we will not meet any Politicians, will not give Memorandum but will go to the people of India for the Justice.”
During his visit to Mumbai a couple of days back, even the chairman of National Commission for Minorities, Wajahat Habibullah, accepted that Muslim youths are falsely implicated in the Malegaon blast 2006 case. He even announced in the press conference that he will talk to P. Chidambaram, the Union Home Minister, and the Head of the CBI.
