Indian shops and business establishments closed on Bush's visit
2/26/2006 10:00:00 AM GMT

Leaders of a number of Muslim political and religious organisations in
Hyderabad called Sunday for shutdown on March 3 to protest the visit of
the
American President George W. Bush to the Indian city.

"We are appealing to people in Hyderabad, its twin city Secunderabad and
neighbouring Mahabubnagar district to close their shops and business
establishments as a mark of protest," said Tameer-e-Millat president
Moulana
Rahim Qureshi.

"This is to protest against the Bush administration's anti-Muslim and
anti-Islam policies around the world."

Bush is set to visit the Andhra Pradesh state capital on March 3. He's
also
scheduled to visit a village in Mahabubnagar.

"As Muslims it is our duty to raise our voice against these policies,
especially the atrocities committed in Afghanistan and Iraq and the
continued support of the U.S. to Israel's illegal occupation of
Palestine,"
Qureshi, the secretary of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board, said,
adding:

"We are also protesting against America's attempts to have its hegemony in
Asia by preventing countries in the region from acquiring strategic
nuclear
capabilities. The pressure on India to sign the nuclear deal is part of
this
strategy," he said.

"We are appealing to the people to shut their businesses as a mark of
protest. It will be a peaceful and democratic agitation and the strike
call
will not be forcibly enforced," Akbaruddin Owaisi, the leader of
Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) said in the state assembly.
