The leaders before meeting the Governor had visited Madani at the Parappana Agrahara jail and talked to him regarding the actions undertaken by IUML to ensure treatment. “What is being meted upon him by the jail authorities and Karnataka Govt is cruel than those being heard out”, said ET Muhammed Basheer.
Madani has expressed his gratitude for the efforts from our part, said the top IUML leader.
The memorandum submitted to the Governor reminded that he was falsely implicated earlier in the Coimbatore serial bomb blast case and was acquitted by the court being found innocent after serving a term of almost 10 years in jail.
He has been arrested again and lodged in Parappana Agrahara jail, for last two and half years allegedly for taking part in the conspiracies of Bangaluru serial bomb blasts.
The memorandum observed that it is quite unfortunate that his bail application repeatedly gets rejected by the court on the objection raised by Karnataka Police. The memorandum informed that the medical report submitted in Parappana sessions court today too has noted that basic medical treatment was denied to a critically ill Madani.
Jail officials, despite earlier court orders, didn’t take him for treatment citing flimsy reasons like, they don’t have enough escort and so on, says the memorandum.
The leaders informed that it is because of this denial in timely treatment, that the blood got clotted in his right eye, the veins got weak and the right eye lost its sight completely.
They also informed the Governor regarding other ailments suffered by Madani in the form of diabetic retinopathy, diabetic neuropathy, cervical spondylitis, kidney failure, disc collapse, stomach ulcer, backbone ache, blood pressure and a lot other diseases, which he developed during the last two years of imprisonments, being denied of basic medical assistance.
They further informed the Governor about the Kerala Chief Minister’s statement in the Kerala Assembly on December 17, 2012, where he expressed the Kerala government’s willingness to take up the complete treatment expenses of Madani, on permission from the Karnataka government.
Madani had yesterday wrote an open letter saying that the jail authorities and Karnataka government are now misguiding the Kerala government and its people by not providing any required treatment and by keeping on baselessly repeating that adequate treatment has been provided.
Earlier they were keen on repeating this lies before the courts and now they does the same before the Kerala public, he said in the letter. He had attached the copy of his medical reports along with this letter to prove the serious lapse in treatment before the Kerala public.
He says in the letter that, now he doesn’t even have a minute ray of hope with regards to getting justice from the Karnataka government.
