In the eddy of police’s “SIMI investigations”, many Muslim youth have been suffering since years. Maulana Naseeruddin’s sons are too among those innocents’ youths who have been in police arrest since years by doing nothing.
Even Maulana Naseeruddin was taken to Gujarat and arrested on charges of instigating Pandya’s killers, but subsequently booked in the Ahmedabad conspiracy case – an alleged conspiracy to avenge Gujarat riots. On January 12, 2010, a designated POTA court acquitted 13 men, including him.
Police accused two of my son in the Mecca Masjid and other blasts, said Naseer uddin. “Police couldn’t get evidence to charge them but didn’t release them. They were sent to MP where their names had been included in a SIMI case in Dhar. They had never been to Dhar,” he added.
“Lawyers in Dhar wouldn’t let anyone represent us,” he said. “We approached the Supreme Court. The case was shifted to Indore and they were acquitted. They had already been in jail for four years and two months”.
This is just not the story of me and my son, but several incidents of double standard by local police witnessed in India, said Naseer.
He says police badly beats the youth and are making them mentally and physically unfit. They are making the life of innocent youths measurable, he added.
“This is our country too, why no Justice with us, he mourns.
He asks “are we not the citizen of India?, then why are we Muslims treated as second citizens of India”?.
