Brother P. Koya is our old friend. We were present at the inauguration of the NDF at Calicut. He was arrested and persecuted by the Hindu govts. (whether Congress or marxist) of Kerala not because of the map publication which was just a pretext. Koya’s organisation, NDF, attracted a large number of poot oppressed but revolutionary Muslims. The Congress, Muslim League and marxists started losing their Muslim followers. Kerala’s Muslim League, a party of rich Muslims, was the biggest loser. All these victims of NDF’s growing popularity led to Brother Koya’s persecution which brought him closer to the hearts of oppressed Muslims. Koya is now purified having been tested by fire. We wish him all success – EDITOR.
