Thiruvananthapuram, Sunday 02 November 2008: Claiming that the People’s Democratic Party headed by him has no links with extremist elements, PDP Chairman Abdul Nasser Madani yesterday blamed the Muslim League and BJP with carrying out a misinformation campaign’ against his party to gain political mileage.

The League leadership should clarify why it alone opposed a CBI probe into the May 2003 Marad killings, when all other political parties agreed to such an investigation, Madani said

Noting that Muslims in the state lived in total peace and amity, he said it had to be ascertained why certain youths had chosen the path of extremism.

Refuting charges that he and some PDP activists had nexus with fundamentalists, PDP has no connections with any fundamentalist forces and the ongoing campaign by the League and BJP is done only with an eye on the vote bank’Madani said.
