IIPM BBA MBA Institute: Student Notice Board
Siwan, once home to luminaries like Dr Rajendra Prasad and Maulana Mazharul Haq, suddenly came to light one again in the 90s. Mohammad Shahabud
din or Saheb, as people preferred to call him, made headlines for the next two decades like none other. In the absence of any administration during the Lalu-Rabri rule, the city used to follow his dictum. Such was his fear that apart from CPI (ML) Liberation, all other political parties had closed their offices for good. Political activities, other than Shahabuddin's RJD, were unheard of. Banners were absent. Call it his fear or his charisma, it was omnipresent. But as Saheb cools his heels inside jails, things have changed tremendously. The same Saheb, whom the combined opposition had never been able to defeat in the past, saw his wife Heena vanquished by an independent Om Prakash Yadav.
Shahabuddin started his career in 1990. He became an independent MLA from Ziradei while sitting inside the Siwan jail. Lalu saw a future leader in him and grabbed the opportunity and brought him into the RJD fold. He was not wrong. He went on to win four consecutive Lok Sabha elections. The journey from a nondescript politician to Saheb is as fascinating as the man himself.
His rise was succored by the upper caste hate of Communist parties. Wary of the radical
designs of Indian People Front and CPI (ML) Liberation, the upper castes saw a rallying force in Shahabuddin. He did not disappoint. His name appeared in the daylight murder of JNU Students' Union leader Chandrashekhar, an upcoming icon of CPI (ML) Liberation. Saheb remained unperturbed. His political demise came with the fall of the RJD regime. The subsequent President's Rule saw the tightening of noose. On April 24, 2005, the then DM C. K. Anil and SP Ratan Sanjay stormed into his impregnable citadel of Pratap Pur and recovered a large cache of illegal arms. Six new cases were filed against him. The winds started to change. Prior to that, in the Assembly elections, many of his close aides and relatives like Azazul Haq, Awadh Bihari Chaudhary, Shiv Shanker Yadav and Vikram Kunwar lost their respective seats on RJD tickets. The Nitish government transferred all his cases to Fast Track courts. He has been variously sentenced to two to ten years in eight different cases. He has also been awarded life sentence in the Chotelal Gupta murder case.
For all practical purposes, the Siwan Jail has become his address now. Every other day he has to appear in one case or other. In the spare time, he indulgences himself in going through magazines, in exercising and in lonesome contemplation. His father, an erstwhile stamp vendor, had left his job following his son's rise. He takes care of his affairs in his absence. People still line up at his court but the pomp is missing. His father tries to offer some hollow hopes but in vein. His wife takes care of the household. Although she fought the last election, she prefers to remain away from public eye. His kids study somewhere outside Bihar. His die hard supporter Awadh Bihari Chaudhary says, 'The Nitish government is trying to undermine Saheb's power. But Nitish will fail.' But the statement lacks confidence.
