SEVERAL MUSLIM organisations have condemned the bomb blasts at Sankat Mochan temple at Varanasi, which led to the killing of devotees, and at the railway station.
The All-India Muslim Backward Classes Federation (AIMBCF) has condemned the dastardly attack and paid tributes to those who died in the blasts. Federation chairman Ibrahim Qureshi expressed his grief over the attack, which he termed as a conspiracy of fascist, communal and terrorist organisations. The AIMBCF has appealed to citizens to maintain harmony and brotherhood.
The MP Muslim Vikas Parishad has castigated the incident. In a statement issued today, the Parishad said the attacks on Raghunath Mandir, Akshardham Temple, the Babri Masjid-Ram Janmabhumi Complex and now the Sankat Mochan temple clearly illustrate that the aim is to destabilise the country.
The Parishad has urged Hindus, Muslims and all other communities to come together and fight terrorism. However, MPMVP president Mohammad Mahir has urged people not to term such attacks as Islamic terrorism as it links terrorism with a religion.
The Minorities’ Cell of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) staged a demonstration at Peer Gate to express its anger over the Varanasi blasts. District president of the Cell, Syed Mumtaz Ali led the protest.
