Illegal detention of Muslim youth is an embodiment of the Government’s betrayal – Md. Shueb

Riots during SP reign planned – Md. Suleiman

Call to Government to clarify stance on Shivpal Yadav’s Israel trip – Tariq Shamim

 Azamgarh, 12th December, Advocate Md. Shueb, during his presidential address at the Wada Nibhao strike organised by Rihai Manch alleged that the SP government was not earnest in its promise of expeditious release of innocent youth implicated in fabricated cases. He added that even senior party leaders are confused about their stance regarding the status quo and that they issue contradictory statements. He commented on the government's reluctance to release the RD Nimesh report and said that its excerpts printed in newspapers only confirm the falsity of charges against the youth held in various cases. 

Indian National League President Suleiman Ahmed said that even though Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal workers were caught making explosives in Kanpur, the Mayawati government failed to take appropriate action and chose, instead, to bow down to the interests of forces detrimental to the nation's unity. He said the instability the inaction in the probe and the subsequent arrests of Muslim youth could lead to civil unrest in the future. He added that the entirely one-sided, pre-planned riots during the SP rule could be likened to the Gujarat riots and were in no way accidental. 

The Nimesh Commission was constituted for the kidnapping of Hakim Tariq from Azamgarh on December 12, 2007 but even after years, the findings of the Commission have not been made public and the suggestions are far from being implemented. Tariq Shamim, National General Secretary, Qaumi Ekta Dal noted that there are differences of opinion among the SP leaders about the report. On the one hand, leaders like Shivpal Yadav denounce it, while on the other Rajya Sabha representatives of the party use it to gain popularity among Muslims.

He demanded the government explain why its leaders visited Israel and also that the State abstain from    taking assistance from Israel in training police and intelligence officials.

The meeting was attended by Hussein Haji Ahmed, Rabindra Nath Roy, Arif Naseem, Anshumala,Vinod Yadav, Jai Prakash Rai, among others.
