Majlis e Ittehadul Muslimeen(MIM) party MLAs disregarded their stature of being law makers, they shamelessly attacked & hurled disgusting abuses at Taslima Nasreen with the help from their party activists. When journalist and organisers intervened, even they were attacked and press club property was damaged. MIM floor leader of the state assembly, Mr. Akbaruddin Owaisi declared that he is very proud of his MLAs & activists for attacking an unarmed lady for their perceived insult to islam. Being peoples representatives, They clearly demonstrated that they are no good to represent people of their constituency and have no respect for the constitution, which they took oath to protect and serve. Mr Akbaruddin Owaisi clearly states that his muslim identity is more important to him than being a legislator:
"We are not bothered about our MLA status. We are Muslims first. And its our responsibility to test those who have said anything against Islam in which ever way possible".
Even after that statement, MIM MLAs didn't resign as mark of respect to the chair, instead MIM President Sultan Salauddin Owaisi praised assailants and said that his party is ready for bigger sacrifices!. Akbaruddin Owaisi has said that anyone who commits blasphemy against islam deserved to be beheaded. MLA, Mr. Muqtada Afasr Khan has said that they would kill Taslima Nasreen, if she comes to city again!
Anyways, Such people should not hold office in our pluralistic and secular society. MIM always treated old city as its private domain and it hindered other political parties from serving people there with its intimidation & aggression. Presence of our own police force in the old city is considered as intrusion and recently, they were not even allowed to patrol the rioting areas. Such is the influence MIM sways in the old city. Below are the few images concerning MIM's MP Mr. Asaduddain Owaisi (s/o MIM Leader Mr. Sultan Salauddin Owaisi):
Owaisi argues with south zone Deputy Commissioner of Police(DCP) to leave the place. Later, DCP was transfered.
Owaisi and MIM party activists ban police entry.

Legislators who doesn't respect law of the land and who associate with terrorist organization in the foreign land should not be allowed to serve the public but MIM being ally of ruling government and also being skilled in using minority tag, it would be wishful thinking to expect any substantial action. This is evident from the reluctance of police to file earnest charges against the MLAs despite the evidence and demands from the reporters to file attempt to murder charges. In spite of this, MLAs were given bail on the same day of their arrests. Defiance shown by the perpetrators and lack of indignation from the so-called secularist only reveals the true nature of secularism in this country!.
Update: Last few days, local urdu newspapers are fuming over MIM's missed opportunity to murder Taslima and none are finding such writings outrageous!. Even after MLAs blatantly threatened Taslima's life, Police are hesitant in registering cases against MIM MLAs under section 307 of IPC and the Chief Minister is conspicuously silent.

That was a shameful act! Did the people voted an MLA to kill a women?... known more from here about the incident.
what coincident we both posted the same issue!
Intolerance and bigotry are the pillars on which most religions or at least the radical branches of it stand on.
It was really troubling for me to read (back when this whole episode happened) that a paper in India could publish an article that openly instigates or supports violence. Somebody should have filed a lawsuit against the publishers.
And i hope someday Indians would realize the value of free speech and start using it properly.
Btw...nice to see u blogging again man.
