Mangalore, October 17: The state government should apologise Peoples Democratic Party leader Abdul Nasir Madani, who is lodged in Bangalore Central Jail since past 14 months, and release him immediately and unconditionally, said 'Dalit Voice' editor V T Rajshekhar.

He was speaking after inaugurating Human Rights Protection conference demanding the release of Madani, organised by Karnataka Justice Forum here on Sunday.

Mr Shetty said that Madani was put behind bars only for political reasons although Karnataka police did not have any evidence to confirm the allegations against him.

Frustrated by the brutality of Brahminist oppression, Madani had waged a real 'Jihad'. In order to curb his democratic struggle, Brahminist minds joined their hands to send him to prison once again through false and baseless allegations, Mr Rajshekhar said.

He said that the act of BJP led Karnataka government to re arrest a person who was acquitted by court after spending nine long years in Coimbatore Central Prison for a crime not committed by him, is apparent violation of human rights. “The silence of Supreme Court, which was supposed to intervene in this matter, is also disheartening”, he added.

Stating that thousands of Muslims across the country have been subjected to violence and atrocity, the veteran journalist lamented that except in Jammu and Kashmir, Indian Muslims have failed to show resistance against the injustice. “Irony is that Gujarati Muslims are now supporting chief minister Narendra Modi, who is responsible for the killing of thousands of Muslims in 2002 riots”, he said.

If the people continued their silence over Madani's arrest, many Muslims in this country may face the fate of Madani, he warned.

Alhadi Ibrahim Thangal presided over the programme. Karnataka Komu Sauharda Vedike secretary K L Ashok, PDP working secretary Swami Varkalraj Thiruvananthapuram and PFI Karnataka branch president Ilyas Mohammed Thumbe were present among others.

Bengaluru, Jun 18: Former Karnataka Chief Minister and Congress leader Siddaramaiah has accused the BJP-led government of not passing the benefit of the low price of crude to the common man and urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take steps to bring down prices of petroleum products.

Hitting out at the BJP-led government, he termed it as "opportunistic" and said the price of petroleum products were being increased when people were facing difficulties due to COVID-19.

"It is very disheartening to witness and unprecedented opportunistic government which is trying to extract every pound and flesh from the common man, that too when the whole country is suffering from the COVID-19 pandemic. This is in the backdrop of the continuous price hike in the last 10 days," said the letter was written on Wednesday.

The Congress leader said that the policy decisions taken by the government "with respect to managing fuel sources are inconsistent with the prudent measures generally adopted".

"When the price of crude oil was remarkably low in March, April and May 2020, your government was very reluctant to pass on the benefits to the people by reducing the fuel prices proportionately, but, instead, your government continued to capitalise by increasing the excise duty," he said.

He said the government had also "failed" in the last six years to increase the oil storage capacity which could have been used for the country's advantage when the international crude oil price fell really low.

He said the government should roll back the excise duty and help in the reduction of fuel prices.

"The reduced burden will help the common man to have additional money in hand that will be spent on essential goods and services which will ultimately help them tide over these difficult times," he said.
