Social
activist Shabnam Hashmi on Saturday took part in the agitation
organised by the Rihai Manch, an outfit formed to struggle for release
of innocent Muslim youths allegedly implicated in false terror charges.
Rihai Manch is holding indefinite demonstration for last 18 days
demanding action against police officers responsible for arrest and
death of terror accused Khalid Mujahid. It is also demanding state
government to act on Nimesh Commission report which found discrepancies
in arrest of Mujahid and his co-accused in the 2007 serial blasts case.
Mujahid had died in police custody on May 18. After a street play by the
members of Revolutionary Cultural Front, Jawaharlal Nehru
University, on the allegedly fake Batla house encounter, Hashmi
expressed her view. She said Mujahid is just one among many innocent
Muslims who are arrested in the name of terrorism in India. "He was
murdered because he could have been a witness against the UP policemen
involved in falsely implicating innocent Muslims," she said.
