Banglore blast case: My statement
My Dear readers
This is my statement about the illegal move being played against me. The intent of this statement is to bring your kind attention to how fabricated the chargesheet submitted by investigative officers of the Bangalore case against me, expecting, as always, your co-operation as regards the legal movements I have taken at this critical stage.
1. I am the founder and chairman of a party which was recognized by the Election Commission of India. I have never spoken for, nor thought of for that matter, establishing an Islamic state in India as the respected prosecution alleges. I have been imprisoned for nine and a half years in connection with Coimbatore blast case-presumably the most horrible blast ever in India in which the lives of more than 50 people were claimed. In that case in which a chargesheet of more than 15,000 pages was issued and about 3,000 witnesses were cross-examined, the prosecution did not accuse me of attempting to convert India into an Islamic state. The prosecution did not accuse me of having links with organizations like SIMI or Indian Mujahiddin in the affidavits submitted many times before the Honorable Supreme Court and Chennai High Court.
2. Thousands are working for The People’s Democratic Party, which was formed on 14th April, the birthday of Baba Saheb Ambedkar. Vice chairman of the party Varkala Raj is a Brahmin. Party general secretary Advocate Prasad is also a Hindu. Ajith Kumar, also a Hindu, is the treasurer, the key post of the party next to the party chairman (the account of the party is in his name). Thousands of Hindu and Christian brothers are working in the party which all at once has representatives in the Haj Committee and Wakf Board. The representative of the party is working now as the Government Public Prosecutor. How can I support those who are up for forming an Islamic state in India, leading as I am thousands of people to the path of democracy for the protection of democracy and secularism?
Those who are observing fast-unto-death struggle against the Bangalore police fabricating the evidence against me to falsely implicate me in the Bangalore blast case are: 1, Swami Varkala Raj (Hindu) 2, Devasya (Christian) 3, VM Marsan (Hindu) 4, Suni Chellappan (Hindu) 6, Chandran (Hindu). They are state-level and district-level leaders of the party.
3. Many workers of almost all parties in Kerala have been jailed in connection with murder cases. But not even a single PDP activist has yet been arrested in connection with the murder case. Nor has anyone been jailed. ( None has yet been convicted either in communal or in political murders)
4. I have been a dependent on my single leg since 1992 August 6 when my right leg was removed in the aftermath of a bomb attack my enemies orchestrated. The first message I delivered to the people of Kerala after I came out of prison after my 10-year-long prison life was that I pardoned to those who were accused in the bomb attack against me. When the trail of the above mentioned case was being held in the fast track court in Kollam, I gave the court a written intimation that I gave pardon to the accused and created a situation for them being acquitted without my witness statement against them. Had I been an anti-Hindu, would not I have witnessed against the Hindu accused who hurled bomb against me and thereby seen to it that they were all punished?
5. Neither I nor my party has ever worked against the interests of this country. Nor will we be ever able to do so.
6. The prosecution states that the accused, including the A1, have become terrorists motivated by my speech on the Babri Masjid and Godhra incidents during 1990. It is true that I delivered speech on the Babri issue. But in 2001, when the Godhra incident occurred, I was behind the bars. How could I speak about an incident which occurred during my prison days in 2001 back in 1990! It is this naked lie that the Prosecution has stated in the chargesheet.
7. The three books that the prosecution accuses me of having given to A1 to read are all available in hundreds of...
