Mangalore, Mar 28: N B Aboobakkar, President, Baikampady Mohiyuddin Juma Masjid Jamath, and Former President of Karnataka State Minorities Development Corporation, has said that he is open for any probe with respect to allegations of misappropriation of funds of the Masjid Committee.
Addressing media persons at a news conference in Mangalore on Thursday, Mr. Aboobakkar said that he is willing to reveal documents of the Masjid committee involving all transactions and open to probe of any level. “I swear by the Ajmer Dargah that if misappropriation of a single paise is found, I will no longer hold any authority in the Masjid committee and resign”, he said.
Commenting on the recent protest by a few residents of Baikampady with regard to the incident involving gunshots fired in the air by his bodyguard Ranjith, Mr. Aboobakkar said that the protestors' claim that he had needlessly trapped about 40 odd innocent people in a police case is “far from truth” and “condemnable”.
Terming it a “political ploy” against him, Mr. Aboobakkar said that certain Congress leaders were involved in the entire episode of triggering a wave of opposition against him.
“Many developmental works have been carried out after I took charge of the Masjid committee. Some people are jealous of this fact and are trying to defame me and oust me from the position citing my affiliations with the BJP”, Mr. Aboobakkar said.
