Coimbatore, Oct 18: Kerala-based People's Democratic Party (PDP) is planning an agitation seeking release of its chairman Abdul Nasser Mahdhani, a key accused in the 1998 serial blasts in the city, its general secretary Poonthura Siraj said today. The details and strategy of agitation would be announced in a couple of days after meeting Mahdhani, lodged in the centre prison here, Siraj told reporters. Considering the health conditions of Madhani, the party would appeal to the Tamil Nadu government to release him on interim bail at least for a month during Ramzan, which begins from November five or six, Siraj said.
He said PDP had already discussed with many like minded organisations and people, like tribal leader C K Janu and heads of some Muslim organisations, about the agitation, which would be totally peaceful, he said.
The agitation would be in Kerala in the last week of this month, he said.
