Hyderabad : The Hyderabad police arrested President of DJS, Abdul Majid, and key members, Salahuddin Affan and Mohammed Bin Omer, just hours before a scheduled press meet on the occasion of Black Day, marking the anniversary of the demolition of Babri Masjid on December 6, 1992.
President Abdul Majid was taken into custody from his residence in the early morning hours, while General Secretary Salahuddin Affan and Joint Secretary Mohammed Bin Omer were apprehended later in the day from the DJS office in Mogulpura, Hyderabad. The arrests were made to thwart the planned press conference where the leaders intended to voice their concerns and protest against the historical event.
In a press release, Ahmed Mohiuddin, Secretary of DJS, strongly condemned the arrests, labeling them as an infringement on the right to free expression and peaceful assembly. He detailed the arrests, explaining that Abdul Majid was apprehended early in the day, followed by the detention of Salahuddin Affan and Mohammed Bin Omer at around 11 AM.
Mohiuddin emphasized the significance of December 6 as a Black Day in Indian history, marking the demolition of the 475-year-old Babri Masjid under an organized conspiracy. He accused the authorities of suppressing the voices of DJS and other Muslim and secular organizations that observe this day as a protest against the destruction of the historic mosque.
