In a big jolt to Congress, Masood Madani, the grandson of freedom fighter late Maulana Husain Ahmad Madani and son of former Jamiat Ulama chief late Asad Madani, quit the party. He ruled out any possiblity of reconciliation with Congress in future.
For the beleaguered Congress it is a big setback and a loss of face. Also, it will surely affect Congress not only in Uttaranchal but in the forthcoming polls in UP. Masood Madani, a former Congress minister from Uttaranchal, announced the decision at a crowded press conference in Roorkee. Of course, the decision was expected ever since police allegedly mistreated him and lathi-charged his supporters. Madani issue had become a major embarrassment for Congress because he held rallies all over Uttaranchal and big crowds were seen in rallies.
Labelling the Congress leaders as anti-Muslim, Madani said ‘beared and skullcap wearing’ person is a suspect everywhere. He lamented that despite assurances ND Tiwari did not take action against any official responsible for the lathi-charge. He charged Congress government in Maharashtra of making life tough for ordinary Muslims and throwing the innocent in jails.
The patriotism of every Muslim is doubted in the present regime. He did not spell out which party was he going to join. ‘Despite thousands of communal riots and demolition of Babri Masjid during Congress rule we remained with the party, but the party leaders have now become so communalised that a patch up is impossible’, he said.
