Mangalore, Aug 3: Muslim Souharda Vedike South India (MSVSI) has urged the present Congress-led state government to change their stance on People's Democratic Party (PDP) leader Abdul Nasser Ma'adani, an accused in the 2008 Bangalore serial blasts case.
Addressing a press conference here on Friday, MSVSI secretary S M Basheer Ahmed said that the stance taken by the state government was alarming and that revision of its stance was required.
He claimed that public prosecutor in the Ma'adani case S Dore Raju had made false allegations during the hearing of the case last week. The bail application of Ma'adani has also been rejected with the prosecution falsely contending that he had links with Pakistan and if released, he would try to establish contact with the other accused in the case who were absconding. The state prosecution also contended that Ma'adani was involved in 52 terror cases, leading to the rejection of his bail application, although he is unwell behind bars, he said.
He said that the state government ought to rectify its stance that Ma'adani should not be released on the grounds that he was unwell as they falsely claimed that he was exaggerating his diseases.
The organisation urged the state government ought to intervene in the case and grant bail to the PDP leader. The government of Karnataka should provide justice and arrest the real culprits in the case, he stressed.
The PDP leader filed the bail petition claiming he was not given proper follow-up treatment. He had also stated his wish to tend to his mother who has been suffering from cancer.
During the court proceedings, the state had also expressed fear that if granted bail, the trial would get delayed since it would be difficult to bring Ma'adani back. The next hearing of the case has been scheduled for Monday.
MSVSI chairman Syed Mohammed Saqaf Thangal, secretaries Abdul Azeez Musliyar and Kareem Maulvi Uppinangady, PDP Kasargod district chairman M K E Abbas, PCF Kuwait chairman Raheem and others were present.
