Terror tag to slain undertrials
Hyderabad: The Telangana Muslim JAC has decided to approach the High Court against the Telangana government and the leading media houses of Hyderabad for projecting the undertrials, who were killed in Alair encounter, as terrorists. In a media statement, JAC chairman Mohammed Mushtaq Mallik strongly condemned the use of prefix ‘Ugrawadi or terrorist’ by some media houses while mentioning the names of five Muslim youth, who were killed in the encounter.
He said although all five of them were facing serious charges, none of them was convicted by a court of law on terror charges. He said it was against the rules of journalism to brand someone as a "terrorist" without having any proof. However, some media houses, especially the Telugu media, have been using the term "terrorist" indiscriminately against the Muslim youth.
Prisoners on hunger strike
Meanwhile, protesting the killings of their jail inmates, Viquaruddin and gang, under-trial prisoners of Chanchalguda Central Prison have started a hunger strike from Tuesday night. The prisoners- Khalim, Zahid, Shakeel, Bishwak and Abid Hussain- have written a letter to the jail superintendent notifying the same. Even undertrials in State jails have been protesting against the encounters and staging demos inside the jail, according to sources.
