`PDP aggrieved by e-mail threats'

Special Correspondent

KOCHI: People's Democratic Party's (PDP) Ernakulam district secretary Mujeeb Rahman has urged the Government to bring to book those sending threatening e-mails and letter bombs in the name of pressing the Government to release party chairman Abdul Nasir Maudany, from prison.

He said that such threats were being made by jilted lovers and those with personal axes to grind. But such acts ended up marring the image of the party in the public eye, Mr. Maudany and the party workers.

He said neither the party nor Mr. Maudany had ever called for or engaged anti-democratic or illegal forms of agitation to get Mr. Maudany out from his nine-year remand in the Coimbatore jail.

If those arrested for making the threats were let off on the plea that they suffered from mental illness, such acts would recur and innocent people would face harassment, Mr. Rahman said.
