We aren't responsible for the attack on MLA; don’t politicise the issue: SDPI

Mysuru, Nov 20: Demanding stringent action against those behind attack on former minister and sitting Congress MLA Tanveer Sait, the Social Democratic Party of India has urged the political parties not to politicise the issue.

Addressing a press meet here today, Abdul Majeed, National Gen. Secretary, SDPI, said attack on a peoples’ representative in front of the public shows that how dreadful the incident was. Such incidents create unrest and anxiety in the society.

Congratulating the police for arresting the accused, he urged the police to probe the incident appropriately and reveal the real motives behind the incident. “The culprit must be punished for the crime. SDPI has full trust and hopes on police that they will investigate this matter impartially and will not arrest and use innocents in this matter,” he said.

He said: “The political leaders must have some sense that their misleading and stressful statements will badly impact on the good atmosphere of the society. It's the habit of BJP and Congress to politicize any incidents happened and diverting it to their benefits.”

He said, some political leaders’ assertion in politicizing the incident is a reflection of their irresponsible and misleading attitude. “SDPI strongly condemns such irresponsible behavior. These leaders should need to be matured and know their responsibility by quitting their habits of defining every incidents beneath their nose and giving wrong messages to the society. They must understand that their assertions shall carry truth and sincerity.”

“We have been observing that there are some evil attempts to connect the Mysuru incident to SDPI. We clarify here that there is no any connection between SDPI and Mysuru incident. SDPI is growing across the nation as an alternate political party with the dream of building a popular, secure and equally developed society. In view of gaining massive popularity by SDPI in the nation through creating awareness, intellectualism and political empowerment, the vested interests are taking part in the conspiracies of spreading falsehood and concocted allegations to tarnish the image of the party,” he said.
