Bangalore Blast Case : Kerala Tense Ahead of Madani's Arrest


THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, Aug 11 (Times of India): There was high drama at Anwarasseri in Kerala's Kollam district on Tuesday after news broke that a Karnataka police team was on its way to arrest PDP leader Abdul Nasser Madani, listed as an accused in the 2008 Bangalore serial blasts case.

Party activists thronged Anwarasseri where the cleric-turned-politician is camping with supporters. One of them even attempted to jump from a building to protest against the move. He was, however, stopped by other supporters.

Madani slammed the BJP-led Karnataka government. According to him, the move to arrest him was part of a conspiracy hatched eight months ago. Putting up a brave front, he said he was willing to court arrest but he feared more trouble in custody. While saying he was upset for being arrested during the holy month of Ramzan, he appealed to party workers to maintain calm.

Asked if CPM, which aligned with PDP in the last Lok Sabha polls, had abandoned him, Madani said he never expected any support.

Meanwhile, the Karnataka police team led by DCP (crime) Sidda Ramappa arrived in Kochi on Tuesday.

After meeting city police commissioner Manoj Abraham, they left for Kollam. Kerala DGP Jacob Punnoose said all support would be given to the Karnataka police team.

    You are absolutely right Balwanth. I would also like to add that people like Madani are curse to this society. People like him brainwash others into wrong deeds and terrorism. He may have reformed now, he is in a wheelchair, that is why. He should be given rigorous punishment.
