NEW DELHI: The All India Muslim Majlis-e-Mushawarat has demanded a high-level judicial investigation into the “encounter killings” of five Muslim terror accused at the hands of Telangana police.
“This is a calculated conspiracy to push the Muslim youth on the path of extremism and terrorism,” said Zafarul-Islam Khan, president of the Mushawarat, the apex body of Indian Muslim organizations, while commenting on the killings of five alleged “SIMI” (Students Islamic Movement of India) activists on April 7 while in judicial custody, handcuffed and surrounded by an overwhelming police force.
Khan termed the shooting a calculated murder by security forces, hell-bent on keeping the country on the boil.
Khan said while the political bosses of the NDA government claim that the Indian Muslim community is immune to terrorism, the NSA, IB and other security agencies work in tandem to push Muslim youth to extremism and terrorism.
Khan said Telengana police is the same force that earlier framed many Muslim youth and killed protesters when they came out against the Makkah Masjid blast.
Khan demanded a high-level judicial enquiry into the murder of the five alleged “SIMI” activists and the murder of two other alleged “SIMI” activists three days earlier in the same state.
Khan said this is another Batla House kind of fake encounter perpetrated by the security agencies at the behest of their political masters.
Khan said if we fail to get justice, we would approach international human rights.
