1. SDPI leader Riyaz Farangipete has supported the candidature of Shafi. He said, Shafi will contest the election within the framework of law. We are trying to get bail considering the elections. Every activist will campaign to get Shafi elected.
2. State Minister for Kannada and Culture and Energy, Sunil Kumar gave a strong reaction. He said, ‘The declaration of a candidate who is accused of murdering a Hindu activist has spread fear. The misdeed of taking someone responsible for social unrest to the assembly which is temple of democracy shows the terrible face of SDPI. There should be discussions, debates in society. However, a chaotic, fearful environment should not get created. Offering candidature to a murder accused is like creating pressure mechanism. Noble and good people of society should also get an opportunity. The malicious tendencies in society should be opposed, otherwise terrorists will contest the elections under the leadership of SDPI’.

This shows how the political party of Jihadi organisation is trying to misuse the rights given by the Constitution. Now this party also needs to be banned ! |
