Khammam: BRS minority wing former district president Mohammed Tajuddin took serious exception to the remarks being made by some right-wing parties and organisations seeking religious colour to the recent rape and attempted murder against a 12-year-old child in Khammam city
In a statement issued here on Thursday, he said that the entire Muslim community unequivocally condemns the atrocity. No religion, culture or sense of humanity would ever condone such an inhumane act against a young child.
However, it is deeply unfortunate that some individuals are attempting to link the incident to religion in order to incite hatred. The Muslim community never defends a criminal based on their religion, he said.
Referring to the rumours that a few ruling party corporators tried to save the accused Mohammed Ghouse, Tajuddin said that the three prominent figures, who were rumoured to have visited the police station to shield the accused, do not belong to his caste or religion.
It then becomes clear how wrong it was to view the matter through the lens of caste or religion. Attributing the individual actions of a few to the entire community was an irresponsible act, he opined.
Meanwhile, Rajaka Sanghams along with SC/ST, BC, student and women associations as well as political parties have been taking to the streets demanding severe punishment for Mohammed Ghouse.
After the incident came to light people from all sections of society have launched protests demanding justice for the girl in Khammam city. George Reddy PDSU, AISA, USFI, BSFI student unions also staged separate protests in support of their demands.
TDP’s women’s wing Telugu Mahila activists carrying placards, the participants marched from the Telugu Desam Party office to NTR circle on Thursday seeking strict action against the accused.
The Telugu Mahila leaders Rachakonda Pavani, Kama Anitha, Rangishetti Mangamma, Tadishetti Swathi and others wanted the government to take measures to prevent violence against girl children.
