Alair Encounter: MUF To Hold Protest Meeting

The Muslim United Front, an umbrella organisation of several religious, social and political groups, has decided to hit the streets in protest against the killing of five undertrials at Aliar of the Nalgonda district in a "fake encounter".

The MUF is organising a public meeting at the Khilwat grounds on Tuesday night in protest against the encounter.

The meeting will be presided over by Moulana Abdul Rahim Qureshi, President of the All India Majls-e-Tameer-e-Millat and Assistant General Secretary of the Muslim Personal Law Board.

MIM President and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi, Majlis-e-Ulema Deccan President Moulana Syed Qubool Pasha Quadri Shattari, Jamia Nizamia rector Syed Shah Akbar Nizamuddin, Ameer of Amarat-e-Millat Islamia Moulana Hussamuddin Saani Aamil Jafer Pasha, advocate Mohd Abdul Azeem and other leaders will address the meeting.

It may be mentioned that the MUF has rejected the offer of Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao of a probe into the encounter through a Special Investigation Team (SIT).

The MUF leaders are firm on their demand for a probe through the CBI or a sitting judge of the High Court. (INN)
