  • Babri Verdict: SDPI Leaders Meet UP Waqf Board Chairman Lukhnow: Social Democratic Party of India and Popular Front of India leaders met chairman of UP Sunni Waqf Board Sufar Ahmed Farooqi yesterday to discuss the issues regarding the Allahabad High Court verdict on Babri Masjid title case and follow up actions to be taken. 
    Popular Front chairman E M Abdul Rahman, Social Democratic Party of India national president E Aboobacker, Al India Imams Council president Moulana Usman Beig met Farooqi and assured all out help in this regard. Farooqi told the leaders that the steps were being taken to go for an appeal in Supreme Court against the High court verdict. 
    We are not ready for an out of court solution agreeing to this verdict. And it is futile to have a discussion with the parties in the case on the basis of a verdict which was relied only on the beliefs of one section. Waqf Board will entrust eminent lawyers to take up the case in Supreme Court, he added.
    Leaders also met Adv. Safaryab Jeelani and Muhammed Hashim Ansari to discuss the issue. Ansari said that Babri Masjid was an issue of world Muslims and he would take decisions in accordance with the steps taken by the Sunni waqf Board. I don't want to become a traitor. My talks with some Hindu saints in Ayodhya were misrepresented in the media, he added.

  • SDPI will get stronger by the local body elections: general secretary
    Kannur: The popular base of the Social Democratic Party of India will get stronger by the local body elections in Kerala, said SDPI general secretary P Abdul Majeed Faisy. The party is contesting alone in around 2500 wards all over the state. He was speaking at a press conference in Kannur.
    He said that both fronts were trying to divert the attention of people by creating controversies like the lottery. The common people are suffering in all this. No party is trying to understand their problems. Both fronts follow an anti-people policy. When asked if the party was working for minorities, he replied that the SDPI was working for the majority. Dalits are majority in India. The ruling class receives money from private monopolies and work for them. The SDPI is duty-bound to respond against this. The SPDI is concentrating more on villages than the cities. It would become the party gathering most number of votes by facing the elections alone.
    Mr Faisy said that the relations that mainstream political parties had with the BJP were getting disclosed. Handing over PDP chairman Abdunnasir Maudany to the BJP government in Karnataka before his bail plea came up in the Supreme Court was an example of the BJP-CPI (M) secret relation. The CPI (M) did so to appease the BJP in the local body elections, he added.
    District general secretary Noushad Punnakkal and secretary N Premraj also were present at the press conference.

  • Left-Right Fronts 'Popularised' Corruption in Kerala: SDPI
    Kozhikkode: Two political fronts in Kerala- UDF and LDF have toppled the very concept of Grama Panchayaths which was conceptualised as the corner stone of decentralisation, alleged Adv. K P Muhammed Shareef, state president of Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI). He was speaking at a function of declaring SDPI candidate for local body elections in Kozhikkode district here yesterday. 
    It's mandatory that Grama Sabhas should be convened once in every three months. And at least 10 percent of the total members which are total voters of a ward should be present in the meeting. The meeting should be announced a week before. But all these things which are stipulated by our constitution are ignored by the political parties whose representatives are in power now, said Mauhammed Sahreef. 
    The decisions taken by the Garama Sabhas regarding the preferential order of beneficiaries of various programs can not be altered even by the Panchayaths. At the same time the parties are vying each other to topple these Garama Sabhas for the sake of corruption and nepotism, he added. He also alleged that the concept of people's planning had helped for the decentralisation of corruption. Even a panchayath member could commit corruption under the guise of these projects. 
    The BOT system which has been adopted by the governments in developmental activities is nothing but a means to fill the pocket of political leaders. Now both fronts in Kerala are trying to reach election understandings in various places. 
    He also said that SDPI have entered the fray as a prelude to bring about a change in which all the people of the country would be free from hunger and fear. For this the party has put forward a clear cut policy of anti corruption and anti fascism. 
    He also hoped that SDPI could contribute a lot in a fight for the popular panchayaths that are free from corruption and discrimination. 
    District vice president A T Abu Haji presided over the function. 
    SDPI has also declared the names of 182 candidates in Kozhikkode corporation and grama panchayaths.

  • Babri Verdict Politically Motivated: SDPI
    Thiruvananthapuram: Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) termed the Allahabad High Court verdict on Babri Masjid title suit as superficial and disappointing. The court, instead of giving judgment on the basis of documents and facts submitted before it, has relied upon mere religious faith and handed out a verdict which is politically motivated, said E Aboobacker, national president, SDPI. 
    This is illegal and discriminatory verdict. This can be viewed as just the continuation of injustice meted out towards Muslims regarding the Babri Masjid issue till now. Congress party along with BJP can not absolve from the responsibility for this situation. 
    He also hoped that UP Sunni Central Waqf Board and All India Muslim Personal Law Board would challenge the verdict in Supreme Court. 
    E Aboobacker also appealed the people of the country to treat the issue through legal manner.
