SIO BANGALORE CONDEMNS HYDERABAD BLASTS

The Students Islamic Organization (SIO)- Bangalore strongly condemns the recent blasts in Hyderabad and all other acts of violence designed to terrorize and spread fear among public. It demands that an independent, impartial investigation be initiated immediately and those responsible be brought to justice through due process of law. It condemns the harassment and injustice which is often inflicted upon particular communities after such incidents, especially by State authorities. At this time it also appeals for peace and calm among the society, and urges all not to fall prey to those who would use such incidents for political or personal mileage. SIO also strongly condemns the irresponsible behaviour of various media outlets which seek to sensationalize and pass judgement during coverage, and urges media to exercise restraint and responsibility.
