Mangaluru, May 4: MLA Moideen Bawa has added the prime accused of the murder case of Bijai Madrasa's Maulvi to Congress party, alleged Muneer Katipalla.
According to his Facebook post, "Mangaluru North MLA Moideen Bawa has added the activists of the communal organization Techi Ravi, Paddu and others --who are the prime accused in the murder case of Bijai madrasa's innocent Maulvi-- to Congress party by giving them the party flags and shawls at a function. This is the worst way of doing politics. Going to this extent for winning, has saddened me. The Congress party, which always speaks for the safety of minorities and secularism, is against communalism. Siddaramaiah must talk about this step of Moideen Bawa. Otherwise, people will decide in the election.
