Investigations by the Kerala ATS and intelligence sleuths point towards Abdul Nasser Madani's links with the Indian Mujahideen and Lashkar-e-Tayyeba. The man suspected of plotting the Coimbatore bombings continues to preach and practice hate. Yet, the CPM has struck an alliance with him, forging a terrifying Marxist-Islamist front

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

All that while, during the 2001 Assembly poll, leaders of the Congress-led UDF “queued up” (in Madani’s words) in front of the Coimbatore prison, seeking the blessings of the ‘ustad’ so that his followers and sympathisers would vote in their favour. Unable to deny this fact (though Madani said it), Congress leader Oommen Chandy and State president Ramesh Chennithala admitted that UDF men had indeed gone to Coimbatore but only out of compassion for a man who was lodged for long in a prison without trial.

But there was more. Madani said he had proof that the UDF leaders had written to him seeking his electoral support. Muslim League leader PK Kunhalikkutty denied this, but the other day Madani produced letters written by Kunahalikkutty in the official letter pad of the State Industries Minister — he held this portfolio then — begging for his support.

Madani, now 44, claims that he is the second ‘Mahatma’. “I am no Mahatma Gandhi, but as a worshipper of that great soul, I have pardoned the people who made me a cripple,” he said recently. “If I am the hindrance to communal harmony and peace in Kerala, send me back into the prison. I am only happy to do that sacrifice for the peace of this State and country.”

The strangest and least likely of combinations, that's for sure.

True, this man was involved in serial bombing and with the Indian Mujaheddin...yet the political parties during the elections go into alliance with criminals and now for the first time with terrorist...India is soft on terror and you would agree with me...

Every one wants this crucial vote bank to win and even if that means sleeping with the terrorists...
