Mangalore: As if people in DK and Kerala did not know earlier, Home Minister Dr. V.S. Acharya of Karnataka in Mangalore on Sunday revealed (or confirmed) that several political leaders knew him (AN Maudani) before serial bomb blasts in Bengaluru. Dr. Acharya was talking to pressmen on his visit to DK on Sunday.
He had a dinner with Police Commissioner and other staff at the City Police Lines, where he paid his tributes to lord Ganesha. However, the Home Minster could not tell everything on Maudani’s circle of friends in Karnataka.
He, therefore, diverted the Press attention to Sept. 24 when the controversial Babri memorial land dispute will end with a Supreme Court verdict before one of the 3 judges on the constituted bench of 3, retires on Sept30. He asked local police forces to be prepared for eventualities of the SC long awaited verdict on Ram Lulla and the Babri Memorial clashes. The captive Maudani will be in custody at least upto Sept 30.
