Minister Khader behind suo moto case against party's district president : alleges SDPI
Mangaluru: Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) on Tuesday (Feb 5), organized a press conference at party’s district office, condemning the case registered against its district president and other members by Ullal police, and alleged that district in-charge minister UT Khader, is the man who conspired with the police to file suo-moto case.
Ullal police department had earlier this week registered suo moto case against SDPI District President and others, for potraying the scene of Babri Masjid’s demolition in one of the skit that was presented at the ‘Rebuilt Babri Masjid’ a month long campaign of the party which was inaugurated in Ullal on February 1.
The party condemned the move of the police and termed it ‘politically motivated’ alleging UT Khader had a role to play in the whole episode, while further demanding immediate withdrawal of the case. The party threatened to launch protest across the district if the case is not withdrawn immediately.8197191090
Speaking at the press conference Riyaz Farangepete, added “This is biased, and politically motivated move against us, the same police cannot file suo moto case when sangh parivar and other organizations installs banners in the city demanding ‘Hindu Rashtra’, they also don’t file suo moto case when MP Nalin Kumar Kateel says his men will set the city on fire, but when SDPI does something which is within the limits of the law and without threatening law and order situation, they file suo moto case”.
“Ananth Kumar Hegde will soon be visiting the district and addressing youth, why the police department even giving permission to hold public address in the district? Don’t they know the history of Hegde and his hate speeches? Will they not instill communal disturbance here?” Riyaz questioned.
“Police also don’t file suo moto case against Suvarna News Channel’s anchor for insulting Prophet Muhammed on TV, it is after protests that they initiate action, but if SDPI does something, while staying well within limits and not hurting any community’s sentiments, they file suo moto case against us. This is violation of our democratic rights”
Riyaz further added“All that, which was recreated in the skit is the factual data, and is available on internet, we did not show anything new or did not target any person or organization in the skit. We did the same skit at three places, why only one police station found it objectionable and registered case whereas at two other places they didn’t, when at all three places police officials were present”.
During the campaign SDPI had organized several other events including Babri Masjid Expo, Kavi Ghoshne, Essay writing competition, drawing competition and Quiz among others which were meant to create awareness among the people, a press release from the party added.
Riyaz Farangepete was accompanied by other office bearers, members and workers of the party during the press conference.
