Mangalore, July 19: There are chances of the young Mangalorean duo of Sharif Migdad and Ayub Hussain being released from Saudi prison in two months.

Abdul Qader and Akbar, family members of Mr. Migdad and Mr. Hussain from Adyar Kannur near here along with Congress leader Hameed Kannur addressed media persons at the Press Club in Mangalore on Thursday, and informed about the possible release of the prisoners who have been languishing in Jeddah jail for 11 years on charges of routing telephone calls illegally.

Mr. Hameed Kannur told Coastaldigest.com that on October 21, 2011, a delegation consisting of himself, Mohammed Monu, Taluk Panchayat member and M A Gafoor, KPCC member, had visited Delhi and met senior leaders such Oscar Fernandes, MP and E Ahmed, Minister of State (Deputy Minister) for the Ministry of External Affairs, to explain to them the situation and press for a demand for the release of the prisoners.

Owing to their cooperation and the efforts of a Muslim organization in Saudi Arabia, it now appears that the release of the prisoners will probably take place in two months, family members of the prisoners said and thanked the leaders for their efforts.

Similarly, 13 more prisoners hailing from Dakshina Kannada district have been put behind bars in Saudi. The central leaders will also press for their release, Mr. Monu and Mr. Hameed informed.

'BJP had arranged chartered planes to move Cong MLAs to Bengaluru'

Agencies

March 10,2020

Bhopal, Mar 10: Senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh on Tuesday parried questions on the exact number of MLAs supporting the party in Madhya Pradesh amid a political crisis triggered by the resignation of Jyotiraditya Scindia and 14 MLAs loyal to him.

Repeating his allegation that the BJP was trying to destabilise the Congress-led government, Singh told reporters that the BJP had arranged three chartered planes for Bengaluru on Monday to fly out some MLAs loyal to Scindia.

"We want to know why Bengaluru is used every time to destabilise governments?" he questioned.

When asked about the number of MLAs supporting the Congress in the current political scenario, Singh only said, "Just wait".

He said an atmosphere of uneasiness has been prevailing in the BJP since the Kamal Nath government started cracking a whip on various mafias.

"We (the state government) are exposing Vyapam scam, e-tendering scam, Madhyam scam. In the honey-trap case, BJP men were found to be involved. This will be exposed," he said.

The political crisis in Madhya Pradesh precipitated with the resignation of Jyotiraditya Scindia over his apparent marginalisation in the state politics. Following Scindia's suit, 14 legislators loyal to him have sent their resignation letters via e-mail to Madhya Pradesh Raj Bhavan.

Scindia was subsequently expelled from the Congress by party president Sonia Gandhi.

Speculation that the Guna royal might join the BJP gained ground after he met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi this morning.
