HUBLI: Members of the Indian Union Muslim League took out a protest march in Hubli on Thursday to condemn the recent serial bomb blasts in the country.
The members, led by president of the district unit of the party Dadapeer M. Koppal, held placards with messages condemning the blasts and those responsible for them, during the march.
Mr. Koppal addressed the protesters on the Hubli tahsildarâs office premises. Condemning the bomb blasts, he said that the BJP governments (in Karnataka and Gujarat) had failed to take steps to prevent the blasts.
Mr. Koppal said that it was wrong to target Muslim organisations whenever there were blasts or any terrorist activities in the country.
Wrong policies
<b>
Wrong policies were responsible for the growth of Muslim and Hindu fundamentalist organisations, he said and added that governments should stop indulging in politics at the cost of people. Rafiq Maniyar, Jalalsab Bijapuri and Chamansab Ansari were among those who participated in the protest.</b>
The protesters submitted a memorandum, addressed to the President, to the Hubli tahsildar. In the memorandum they stressed the need for better coordination between the Union and State governments in combating terrorism.
