28th November, 2008 – Ulema in bandh mood

If everyone is in hartal mould, why cant we? This seems to be the dilemma that Ulema Council in Uttar Pradesh is in and therefore has called for a state wide 'bandh' today to protest harassment of youth of the community on the pretext of tackling terrorism.

Convener of the Council Maulana Amir Rasadi Madani said the bandh is to draw the attention of the people on the growing menace illegal arrests and harassment of innocent Muslim youth in the name of countering terrorism. But how can the bandh stop such harassment is a question that Madani has no answer to.
