Some concerned Muslims belonging to different organisations submitted a memorandum to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh here Thursday demanding CBI enquiry into Hyderabad police firing, suspension and detention of erring police officials, Rs. 10 lakh compensation each to the kins of the deceased and judicial enquiry into fake encounters.
“The A.P. Police opened fire indiscriminately targeting the Namazis (Prayer-performers) after bomb blasts in Makkah Masjid, Hyderabad, whereas the mob could have been stopped by other means too, but the police did leave no stone unturned in deteriorating the situation which caused loss of several innocent lives. We strongly condemn this. It is also a matter of concern that despite Central Government’s prior warning the State Government did not take any effective step to dispel this horrible occurrence,” the memorandum said.
The signatories to the memorandum are Shahi Jama Masjid Delhi Imam Maulana Syed Ahmed Bukhari, All India Muslim Majlis-e-Mushawarat (Salim Qasmi group) general secretary Maulana Amiduz-Zaman Kairanvi, its vice president Maulana Ahmed Ali Qasmi, its secretary Maulana Mufti Ataur-Rahman Qasmi and its member Mohd. Ilyas Malik, Jamaat-e-Islami Hind Assistant Secretary Intizar Naeem, UDF Central Council general secretary Rahat Mahmood Chaudhary, UP UDF general secretary Syed Tariq Bukhari, Shahi Masjid Safdarjung Imam Maulana Nawabuddin Naqshbandi, Muslim Majlis Delhi president S.M. Anwarul-Islam and Rashtrawadi Samaj Party Uttar Pradesh president Chaudhary Ziaul-Islam.
