'Wanted to teach Hindus a lesson': Tahir Hussain's confession on Delhi riots

[-=virus=-]

New Delhi: Suspended Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) councillor Tahir Hussain has confessed about his role in the North East Delhi riots that broke out in February this year. Delhi Police have claimed that Hussain during the course of interrogation revealed that he was the mastermind of the Delhi riots and "wanted to teach Hindus a lesson" using his political power and money.

Times Now’s Bhavatosh Singh said that police in its report have claimed that Hussain has admitted to his role in the Delhi riots, but it wasn’t a signed confession statement. The ex-AAP councillor has told police that he met Khalid Shah of United Against Hate and they both conspired to organise protests across several parts of Delhi. He has also claimed that there was resentment amongst the Muslims after CAA was enacted and he wanted to teach Hindus a lesson.

He has told police that organised protests were carried out after the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) was as enacted and it all culminated the second protest that happened at Haffrabad Metro Station.

According to Delhi Police, Hussain’s task was to collect and stock huge number of glass bottles, petrol, acid, stones on the roof of his house.

"Khalid Saifi, along with his friend Ishrat Jahan, first started a dharna demonstration in Khureji on the lines of Shaheen Bagh. On February 4, in Abu Fazal Enclave, I met Khalid Saifi for planning the riots," Hussain told the police during interrogation, ANI reported.

"On February 4, in Abu Fazal Enclave, I met Khalid Saifi for planning the riots. It was decided to provoke people sitting on the anti-CAA strike. Khalif Saifi said that something big has to be done at the time of Donald Trump's visit so that the government kneel," he said.

According to Delhi Police, Hussain had called several people and asked them to throw stones, petrol bombs, and acid bottles from his roof.

"On February 24, according to our plan, I have called several people and told me how to throw stones, petrol bombs, and acid bottles from my roof. I had shifted my family to another place. On 24 February 2020, at about 1:30 pm we started throwing stones," Hussain told police.

Notably, Hussian is one of the prime accused in the killing of IB staffer Ankit Sharma, who was found in a drain on February 26 in the Chand Bagh locality.

I wonder how much he was beaten before they forced him to confess their lies.

And, regarding the idiot in the video, can someone ask him if he made similar videos regarding Hindu leaders.

Similarly, the whole world recognised Modi being responsible for the Gujarat genocide, and even banned him from entering their countries, until he was elected Prime Minister so they had to accept him.
ISN'T Modi also a terrorist and every Indian who voted for him or shows support for him also a TERRORIST.
Or, is that label only reserved for Muslims.

Where the likes of Modi, Pragya, Thackrey, Yogi like terrorists roam free with political power and defenders of their own lives like Tahir Hussain against terrorists are forced to give out statements of carrying out terrorism. Such are the affairs of the state called India

he will get the chance to explain everything in adalat .

What difference does that make,
Indian judiciary is as corrupt and biased as the rest of Indian society. The supreme court had some respect, but even they are rapidly losing what little respect they had, by giving questionable judgements and becoming political appointees.

The only way he will escape is by making a deal, that depends on what the BJP/RSS type Hindus want from him.

wanted to teach Hindus a lesson

by burning muslim homes and killing muslims ?

statements give before a police inspector does not matter much , he will deny it in adalat .

Given Delhi Police's track record before, during and after the riots, how is it that you even bother to engage with this post?

I just asked somebody why he was wasting time on this post. Now I find that someone else also as sensible like you is doing the same.

Fair enough. You gentlemen have time to spare, I suppose.

You do not sound very convincing when you keep trying to conflate the bigoted policy of a particular political faction currently in power with the Indian state.

After a point, it gets boring.

 

[N.Siddiqui]

Muslim mohallas and homes were attacked by marauding, attacking Hindu goons, could be from VHP/any Sangh, and they, the Muslims defending their families/women/children and themselves is not liked by the Hindutva goons, it is like how dare they saved themselves and resisted the extremists.

As someone has written, it is like an 'Intifada' by the Muslims...

Come on yaar, if you have a point to make then say something, don't assign lack of importance to something just because you feel it is unimportant to you, that is not fair.

It is a topic, a relevant recent one, regarding an issue where dozens of people were killed, and many religious properties destroyed, an alternate reality is being created here with such storylines and you expect no one to reply.

Silence allows lies and fabrications to become the truth, how can you oppose someones right to present their point of view. Especially if that viewpoint is not preaching direct hate.
If someone here was saying kill Muslims or kill Hindus, that deserves to be silenced, but you are being very unfair and taking a self-assumed weak moral high ground.

When will Delhi Police interrogate the "Goli maaro saalon ko" brigade ?

Ah, Umar Khalid. An old foe of Delhi Police. Convenient to frame him here.
