GIO protests
These protests were followed by demonstrations from Girls' Islamic Organisation and Jamaat-e-Islami Hind.
Speaking on the occasion, Kulsum Aboobakkar, Member, State Advisory Committee, JIH, and member of the editorial board, 'Anupama' women's magazine, said that the incident is a shameful one and stern action should be taken against the culprits.
Growing obscenity, drug abuse, alcoholism and similar social evils are a contributing factor for the occurrence of such incidents and hence attempts must be made to check them. People are drifting away from spirituality and lack of fear of God makes man behave worse than animals. Fear of God is the only way to control such incidents, she said.
Navida Husain Assadi, Convenor, GIO, welcomed. JIH members Navina Shukoor, Idrees, Anwar Ali, Muhammad Maula, Yasin Udupi, Abdul Azeez, Aslam Hoode, were among those present.
An appeal was submitted to the District Superintendent of Police at the end.
