Kerala politician Madani's wife arrested on terror charges

[riju78]

Kerala High Court today rejected the anticipatory bail plea of south Indian politician Abdul Madani's wife Soofiya Madani paving way for her arrest over terror charges.

Court finds prima facie evidence of Soofiya's link with terror plot. She is allegedly linked to LeT south Commander T Nazeer.

With his wife Soofiya Madani being listed as an accused in the Tamil Nadu bus burning case, PDP leader Abdul Nasser Madani on Monday said the couple would fully co-operate with the investigation.

On December 14, Madani told reporters that he feared if his wife also would have to undergo the suffering he had when lodged in Coimbatore central jail in connection with the Coimbatore serial blast cases.

Denying any link with suspected LeT operative, T Nazir, now in police custody, he said instead of focusing on him and his wife in the 2005 bus burning case, the nexus between the LeT and Kerala has to be exposed.

Madani alleged that some congressmen in the state have conspired to trap his family in the case.

Soofiya has been listed as 10th accused in the case relating to the torching of a Tamil Nadu Corporation bus at Kalamassery in Kochi in September 2005 to protest against Madani's detention in the Coimbatore jail.

The development followed the arrest of Nazir, who was the prime accused in the case.

NEW DELHI: In a major embarrassment for the CPM, the Kerala police on Friday named Islamist leader Abdul Nasser Madani’s wife Sufiya Madani as an

accused in the Kalamassery bus burning incident, allegedly choreographed by arrested south India commander of the Lashkar-e-Taiba, Thadiyantavide Nazeer.

The chargesheet said Sufiya Madani was part of the conspiracy behind burning of the Tamil Nadu state bus at Kalamassery, off Kochi on September 9, 2005.

According to the police, she had plotted and funded the bus burning to send a strong message to the Tamil Nadu government after she learnt about her husband’s “plight” in the high-security jail in Coimbatore. Madani was accused of masterminding blasts in Coimbatore to assassinate BJP leader LK Advani in 1998. He has since been acquitted.

Madani was celebrated as a “secular icon” by the CPM in the last parliamentary election. The Islamist leader had campaigned extensively for the CPM in the Muslim-dominated areas of the state.

The latest revelation that Madani’s wife was part of criminal network forged by the LeT commander Nazeer cannot but be discomforting for the Leftists.

Nazeer was picked up by the Bangladeshi authorities recently along with accomplice Shafaz, and handed over to the BSF at its outpost on the Meghalaya border. Both Nazeer and Shafaz are accused in the case relating to last year’s multiple low-intensity blasts at Bangalore and also the attack on the Indian Institute of Science (IISC) in 2005.

Police claim that Nazeer had played a major role in other error incidents in South India as well, besides having recruited local youth for the LeT, indoctrinating them and then also sending them across to *** for terror training.

Nazeer, who belongs to Kannur in Kerala, has been on the run since 1999 after he became an accused in the murder attempt against former chief minister EK Nayanar.

Of late, Nazeer and Shafaz were hiding in Bangladesh and suspected to be plotting strikes against the Indian embassy in Dhaka on the first anniversary of the Mumbai terror attack on November 27.

Investigators say that Nazeer came into militancy through the Islamic Seva Sangh (ISS) founded by Madani. After the banning of ISS, Madani formed the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and Nazeer became its active member. Following the arrest of Madani in connection with the Coimbatore bomb blasts, Nazeer is suspected to have established links with LeT.

Im not aware of this story but innocent until prove guilty right? And any credible links were they stated that they actually supported LeT ?

Guilty by association. Questioning 26/11 has become a "crime" in India now. Any Muslim politician that doesn't tow the official govn'ts line is a 'suspected terrorist'. Is India a democracy run by thugs or what?


Poor Indian Muslims.

Poor Indian Muslims.

The terrorist who caught by Bangladesh and send it to India was a malayalee and he is in wanted list for set fire a bus here in Kerala and some other bomb blast in Karnataka..Sufia Madani was arrested because police got evidence that she was in contact with those guys in the time of setting the bus on fire..Infact police trace the call back to her phone number and also there are so much evidence that Naseer visites Madani in Coimbatore jail..He is spilling all to the investigative officers and vital LeT links in Kerala is found out and some arrests are made here...Infact Naseer is the guy who is recruiting all the thugs and criminals as LeT cadres..Some of them joined puerly for money.Three of the guy who were recruited were shot dead in Kashmir by security forces..One is a Christian who is also in the wanted list of Police in Kerala..He just converted in to muslim and went to training in LeT camps across the border..The killing of those guys helps found out LeT links in Kerala..

You should say poor muslims all over the world..Some retards using religion as a weapon to recruit people to terrorise the world and every muslim in the world is treated as a suspects..Ask your government to take actions against LeT and its founders ...It will be a strong message to the world that all muslims are not terrorists
