You detain a person for almost ten years and then pass a verdict of his innocence!!. In the mean time take hig
h moral grounds in international forums. This can happen only in India. And this is precisely what happened in the case of Abdul Nasser Madhani. It is shocking and more shameful is the silence surrounding these. This is a very serious indictment of Indian Judiciary, and influence of vested interests on law machinery. Madhani is a political leader with significant following, not necessarily communal (frankly this blogger is scared of so called ‘secular’ people. They are more damaging!!). Further he need be understood from the context of his background as religious preacher. I happened to listen to part of his speech in early 1990s (quite accidentally, I was stuck in a traffic jam in Thiruvanthapuram and had decided to walk), he was fiery and intimidating. I found it puzzling and disgusting. But then later I came to hear much worse from others (read right wing Hindus. However I still believe babri masjid- an unused mosque, demolition has much less significance to most people unlike what ‘secularists’ or right elements in islam and hindus want to believe to stoke passion and hence make a living) who have since become national leaders as also irritants going in the name of ‘secularism’. All equally obnoxious and appalling. Madhani in the mean time was misused by political parties and entrenched power groups for their own motives; I won’t be surprised if the same were active in his detention. One sincerely hopes he be wary of ‘secular’ trap of scoundrels in Left (to quote him ‘vikaarthil pravarthikunekayi nallaya vicharichu pravarthikunethu’. He surely has learned his lessons on political survival in Gods own country!!). He was freed because he was innocent and not because of any political reasons. One hopes he will be able to provide some respite for people in Kerala from the two party swindling that has been taking place for sometime now, if not third front a significant pressure group.
Mr. Madhani has changed, matured significantly in all these years. Now I find him a very normal and still quite passionate man, at personal level I also find him quite likable and trustworthy. He still is an amazing orator. How will the State or society compensate his years of detention is something this blogger would like to know (or demands to know)?. Who is responsible for this blatant injustice?
