| SSP, TJP thugs arrested for stupidity... |
| 2002-08-06 |
| At least 36 activists of the banned Sipah-i-Sahaba and Tehrik-i-Jafria were arrested after the rejection of their bail applications by an Anti-Terrorism Court. SSP activists had attacked a procession and beat up the TJP activists last year in Rasul Nagar village. Police had booked 14 accused, including former SSP president Javed Iqbal. Later, the TJP activists retaliated, pelted stones and damaged the mosque in the same village. Some people sustained injuries in the attack. Police booked 82 activists of the TJP besides arresting some of them. However, activists of the SSP and TJP later got interim bails from a local court. On Monday, police arrested all accused of the SSP, including its former president, and sent them to jail along with 25 activists of the TJP after the rejection of their bail applications. At least 34 activists of the TJP managed to escape from court. Police parties are raiding their houses and hideouts for their arrest. If you've lost track, SSP is the intolerant, xenophobic, Sunni organization, and TJP is the intolerant, xenophobic, Shi'ite organization. Both groups have nothing better to do that stupid stuff like this. |
