Malegaon:
Even as peaceful protests in different parts of the country have failed
to convince the government to stop the police and investigating
agencies from arresting Muslim youth without sufficient evidence,
a New Delhi based organization on Friday announced the formation
of a fact finding team to look into the illegal targeting of
Muslims and their implication in terror cases.
The decision to form the fact
finding team was taken in the meeting of the core committee of 'Targeting
the Muslim Youth'. The meeting held in New Delhi on Friday was
presided over by Member of Parliament Mohammad Adeeb, Mumbai based
Urdu daily, Inquilab, reported today.
The fact finding team will comprise
of MPs Mohammad Adeeb, D Raja, Badruddin Ajmal Qasmi and other
parliamentarians besides senior journalist Seema Mustafa,
Prof Anuradha Chenoy, journalist Ajeet Singh, Iqbal Ahmed and
Ameeque Jamee.
Senior journalist Kuldeep Nayer has
also given his consent to be part of the fact finding team,
the report said.
The organization, Targeting the
Muslim Youth, is also trying to pursue Justice Rajendra Sachar to
head the fact finding team.
The decision to form the fact
finding team follows the public meeting organised by Targeting the
Muslim Youth on July 09 in New Delhi.
Besides the members of the
fact finding team, the meeting was attended by Samajwadi Party MP
Mohan Singh, Lokjan Shakti party president Ramvilas Paswan, CPI
leaders D Raja and A.B. Bardhan and Ram Gopal Yadav.
The fact finding team will meet the
family members of the Muslim youth recently arrested in the terror
related cases and prepare its own report. Based on the report of
the fact finding team, the parliamentarians would raise the issue
in the parliament, the report quoted MP Mohd Adeeb as saying.
