  • Arrest of Ma'dani Inhuman: SDPI

    Kollam: The arrest of Abdunnasir Ma'dani by the police of Karnataka and the support given by their Kerala counterparts at a time when his anticipatory bail application is to be considered by Supreme Court is condemnable and inhuman activity, alleged Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI). Ma'dani, who is also the political leader in Kerala has been living with police protection. And the actions of police who included the name of Ma’dani in the Bangalore serial blast case, on the basis of the statement by an accused in the case, is a blatant injustice, said state vice president Moovattupuzha Ashraf Maulavi. He should have at least given the consideration of a person who has been exonerated by Tamilnadu high court in Coimbatore blast case after long nine and half years in jail. This is a part of the ploy by some vested interests to put Muslim leaders and young people behind the bars by falsely implicating them in terror activities all over India. And it is noted that at least 10 blasts occurred recently across the country were the handiworks of Hindutwa organizations, as proved by some security agencies.
    And it’s the Karnataka government, which has withdrawn 18 cases against Sri Ram Sena chief Pramod Muthalik, who was caught in the camera demanding money for fermenting communal violence, trying to implicate Ma’dani in false cases, Moulavi alleged.
    He also said that SDPI would organize together peoples from minority communities and backward classes to stand up against this kind of state terrorism.

  • ‘Denial of right to politics’: SDPI march to Home Minister’s house
    Thiruvananthapuram: The Social Democratic Party of India yesterday marched to the house of the Kerala Home Ministeraccusing that wrong cases were charged against its leaders, unnecessary raids were carried out in the houses of the members and the right to politics was denied. The march which began from the Ayyankali Square was inaugurated by state secretary MK Manoj Kumar.

    The growth of the SDPI has frightened the mainstream political kings and that is the reason for trapping the party’s leaders in fake cases, said Manoj Kumar. They find it essential to block the political strengthening of Adivasi-Dalit-Muslim and backward classes. Accusing terrorism and extremism is the easy way to alienate individuals and organizations in the public. The same has been carried out against certain communities here. Efforts are on to include SDPI in that group and this will be fought and defeated in the democratic way, he added.

    Thiruvananthapuram district president Ibrahim Kutty, AA Shafi, Shajahan, Karamana Razaq, Karamana Saleem, Rajan Kattakkada and SA Kareem spoke. Police stopped the march about 100 metres away the Home Minister’s house.

    The march was organized following the questioning of SDPI leaders in connection with the investigation into the attack on the controversial professor in which several activists of the Popular Front of India have been accused and arrested. SDPI state secretary Muvattupuzha Ashraf Moulvi was asked to appear at the Muvattupuzha police station for interrogation. The SDPI Ernakulam district secretary was issued a look-out notice.

    The police have issued notices to the PFI state president Nasarudheen Elamaram and national committee member Prof P Koya asking them to be present for questioning. Elamaram was asked to be present at the Muvattupuzha police station on August 12 and Prof Koya on August 16. Notices have already been issued against the PFI state general secretary P Abdul Hameed, PFI Ernakulam district president and secretary.

  • Hindutwa-Imperialist Forces behind New Social Unrest: E Aboobacker
    Thalassery: It's the part of Hindutwa-imperialist agenda to create social unrest which has been witnessed in the states like Kerala, alleged E Aboobacker, national president, Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI). He was inaugurating the public conference at Thalassery yesterday organised as part of the 'Popular March' by SDPI with the slogan- 'democracy should not be denied to the marginalised'.The Israel has become a strong presence in our country. It could infiltrate in our security forces and exert influence in other state machineries, he added.
    He also said that the recent stalemate in the parliament session in the name of discussion on inflation was not due to the concern for the poor, instead it was part of a ploy to block the parliament form discussing Gujarat minister Amith Sha's arrest in fake encounter case. For this the parties from right and left joined their hands with BJP, he added.

    He reiterated party's stand on Muvattupuzha incident. The assault on the college professor is condemnable. The law should take its course. But the government and the media has taken a discriminatory position following this incident, he alleged.
    He also said that various political parties had approached their leaders for the support during the elections. Our decency prevents us from revealing its details. At the same time we will not shy away from disclosing the details when it becomes inevitable.
    Nobody can intimidate the party with ban threat. It has got enough popular bases to tackle it, he warned.
    In a lighter vein he said that it was those who were not aware of the existence of India beyond Malabar, who were trying to belittle SDPI and its strength. He also warned that the ulterior motives of vested interests could not be fulfilled so long as even a single activist of the party exists on the earth.
    Kannur district president Pallipram Prabhakaran, general secretary Noushad Punnakkal also spoke. Hundreds of people had gathered near Thalassery bus stand to give ears to the words of their leaders.
