Kollam (Kerala): Abdul Nasser
Madani, leader of the People's Democratic Party, under custody of
Karnataka police for allegedly conspiring the 2008 Bangalore bomb
blasts, was here in connection with his daughter's "nikah" or
marriage Sunday, and many people turned up to catch a glimpse of
their leader.
Madani, leader of a local political outfit and also a religious
leader here, has been under police custody in the neighbouring
state since August 2010, and was granted parole till March 13 to
attend his daughter's wedding here.
Thiruvananthapuram airport was buzz with activity Saturday as
hundreds of his supporters waited for his arrival since morning.
When he finally landed late in the night, local police had a tough
time controlling the crowd of supporters.
A smiling Madani waved to supporters on emerging from the arrival
terminal.
A five-member Karnataka police team, seeing the large crowd
waiting to greet him, quickly escorted him back into the airport's
arrival terminal.
As the emotions in the crowd subsided, Madani was taken to a
waiting van and driven to a private medical college near here,
where he was treated prior to his arrest by the Karnataka police.
At the private medical college also, supporters showed up in
strength and police were hard-pressed to control the crowd.
Medical college authorities have been instructed by the police not
to divulge results of medical tests conducted on Madani.
After attending his daughter's nikah Sunday, Madani will return to
the hospital.
Madani is set to visit his home in Anwarassery, also located in
this district, to spend a little time with his old and ailing
father. He will fly back to Bangalore Tuesday, and return to jail.
A Kerala police team led by Additional Director General of Police
A. Hemachandran is looking after Madani's security. Scores of
policemen in uniform and plainclothes have been deployed at all
places Madani will visit in the state.
Kerala Home Minister Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan has already said
that Madani's bail conditions would not be breached. He has been
instructed not to interact with media people or make public
statements. Only close relatives are allowed to meet him.
