Hyderabad: Voicing its concern over increasing
incidents of communal violence in Andhra Pradesh, Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM), a key ally of the ruling
Congress, Wednesday put the government on notice over taking
action against lax policemen.
MIM chief and MP from Hyderabad Asaduddin Owaisi met Chief
Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy and asked him to take action against
the police officers for their inaction in Madannapet and Saeedabad
areas of old Hyderabad, which led to the outbreak of communal
violence Sunday.
Owaisi, who led a delegation of MIM legislators, also sought
action against Congress legislator Jaggareddy for his involvement
in the recent communal violence in Sangareddy town of Medak
district.
"We exercised a lot of restraint. But I can't restrain myself if
these incidents continue. The government will have to pay a
political price," he told reporters after meeting the chief
minister.
Owaisi voiced his concern over desecration of places of worship
and alleged that there was a "deliberate attempt" and a
"conspiracy" to target the houses and places of worship of the
minority community.
The MIM chief also demanded that the unnecessary arrests of Muslim
men and the harassment by police should be stopped.
He said ever since the 2007 blasts in the historic Mecca Masjid
triggered by suspected right-wing Hindu forces, a deliberate
attempt was being made to polarise the society.
He also referred to the series of attacks on Muslim youth four
months ago.
The MP asked the chief minister to create confidence among people
by taking firm action against the right-wing Hindu groups.
