New cases like a woman being given triple talaq thrice in last 3 marriages emerge

Triple Talaq has inarguably become one of the most talked about topics in the Indian society of late. On one hand the All India Muslim Personal Law board is vehemently opposing any action to abolish the practice, and on the other hand various women groups have been calling for making it illegal.

As this face-off continues, more and more instances of this practice are coming to light, which show the practice is indeed proving to be a bane for women.

In on such case from Bareilly in Uttar Pradesh, a 35 year old women has opened up about her plight of being given triple talaq in three of her past marriages and is now afraid that her fourth marriage too might end up following the same fate.

The woman named Tara Khan, who is the resident of Tahaka Nagaria village, has claimed that her first marriage lasted for 7 years after which her husband gave her triple talaq to marry a younger woman as they failed to have kids.

What further worsened her plight was that two subsequent marriages yielded her abusive husbands who used to assault her and ended up giving her triple talaq. These marriages lasted 3 years and 4 months respectively. In her fourth marriage, she and her husband have been going to a counselling center, to sort out their marital issues.

She reportedly stated that she wants her existing husband to keep her and if need arose, she would seek the help of Prime Minister Modi or Chief Minister Yogi.

Another incident regarding Triple Talaq has emerged from Bahraich in Uttar Pradesh. In this case, a man has been accused of giving triple talaq to his three wives and has also been accused of serious allegations like rape of a minor and blackmail.

Reportedly all the three women together went to the police station and complained against a man named Danish who is a resident of Kanungopura.

They claimed that Danish first married in 2013 and after his marriage allegedly made an objectionable video of his wife in order to extort money from her family members in exchange of not leaking the video. As claimed by them, he later gave her triple talaq and married another woman and did the same with her. They further allege that Danish then proceeded to forcibly marry an underage girl and gave her the same treatment.

When all the three women came to know about his plans to marry the fourth time, they put forth the whole matter in front of police. Local police inspector has reportedly stated that Danish would be booked under rape of a minor and the sections of the POSCO act.

I am going to watch Bahubali-2 because it is annoying some annoying people

So Bahubali-2 has released. From whatever I have heard from my friends and family, it seems that the movie is amazing. I am not a desi movie buff. I don’t go out of my house and watch Hindi or for that matter any kind of cinema when it is released. I have lost my will to go and sit for 3 hours and watch a movie. But I have a feeling that this time I will be breaking that habit. And there is a good reason for that.

Because not only I’ve read or heard good about the movie from my friends and family, but also because I’ve read something else too.

I can’t figure out what I read because some people have mastered the art of presenting a word salad in good English that means nothing in reality. The Indian left that has mastered this writing disorder and has kind of achieved a PhD in this style of writing.

Say this article in a website called The Quint. If you follow me on social media you will often see me talk about parasitised mindsets. And if there ever was someone who epitomises that category it has to be the author of this article. The author writes – “To release such a film in Telugu and Tamil is nothing but a cultural Trojan horse of Hindi and Hindu nationalism, perhaps reasons for its wide success and critical acclaim across the ‘Indian’ media and the Hindi-belt.”

I hope you have wiped off the floor. If it fell on your mobile screen on laptop keyboard, I’m sorry.

But this kind of vomit inducing writing is a new fashion in India. Everything that is from India’s Hindu past has to be painted as bad and enabler of whatever is wrong with our society. As per such people, India was a cesspool of mediocrity until the great Mughals came and rescued us from our innate barbarism. And that was not enough. We then needed the British to come and get rid of the other minor chinks that were left in our armour as Mughals were too busy building great architecture after destroying ugly pagan structures.

According to the Indian left, we simply cannot show case Hinduism or any Indic thought system in good light. We cannot showcase that Indic value systems can also teach something nice. Also, how dare we make a movie without any major Muslim character? After all, Indian history only starts after Mohammad bin Qasim invaded, nay, arrived in India. Before that we were just meandering morons. We were devoid of history or a grand ethos.

The Indian left claims that they fight for liberal values. They claim that they are the ones that are fighting the battle to see to it that democracy stays safe and intact in India. You might be wondering what has democracy and liberal values got to do with Indic culture or thought system. It has.

Parasitised leftists don’t realise that the reason democracy survives in India is because majority of Indians follow Indic value systems. They don’t realise that most of the non-negotiables of the Hindu side don’t go against the classical liberal democratic system. And that is why the experiment of democracy has lasted this long. So damn right, Indians should celebrate what’s good about Indic values!

Indic values teach you to be comfortable with diversity. Respect multiple viewpoints. Indians don’t live in a binary yes/no worldview in many cases. They are more than happy to let the opposing viewpoint have its own “safe space”.

Just think about it. How is an average Indian Hindu child raised? What ethos do these children follow? I remember my parents teaching me “Ekam Sat Vipra Bahudha Vadanti” as a young school going kid. Heck by the time I turned 18, I was a full blown Nireshvarwaadi (atheist for the ones who don’t know what that is).  And even today I sometimes go to the temple that is outside my house and bow down to the murti inside that temple. It is not that I see any divinity in that murti. I bow down to the values that murti represents. I bow down to this great thought system that did not believe in “othering”. I bow down to a society and a thought system that accepts people like me who deny the divinity of the murti.

Does that mean we did not have problems? No, we did have problems. Every society has problems. But it also doesn’t mean that we cannot celebrate the good things of our culture. What the left seeks to destroy is the very reason India is a democracy even after 70 years.

In fact, Indian leftists are the biggest threat to democracy in India. They have this very dangerous streak in them that wants to homogenise thought.

The bed rock of a healthy democracy is intellectual diversity. But intellectual diversity is something leftists cannot handle. The Indian left wants to showcase a barbarian like Aurangzeb in good light but cannot handle a movie where there are fictional characters that celebrate their innate Hinduness.

So Watch Bahubali 2 just to annoy liberals. Because if they think Bahubali 2 celebrates Indic values, it has to be a must watch. And this is why I am off to book the tickets.

Number of people paying income tax jumps by over 22% after war on black money

At a time the Narendra Modi government is turning the heat on tax evaders, data shows that the number of income tax returns filed in the last financial year has increased substantially. According to a report, the number of people who filed tax returns surged by 95 lakhs.

It could be noted that the taxpayers account for around 3 per cent of India’s population, thus this jump in individual taxpayers is substantial when compared with the previous years’ figures.

The figure was presented before Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a review meeting of the Revenue Department on 2 May. The meeting was convened to review the work of Revenue Department, under the Finance Ministry, with specific focus on taxation matters and initiatives against black money. Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and Revenue Secretary Hasmukh Adhia were among those present during the review.

Data suggests that there is a whopping 22 per cent jump in online filing of income tax returns in comparison to the previous financial year. Around 5.28 crore returns were e-filed in FY16. Rest of the returns were filed in paper mode.

The Centre’s tax collections in the financial year 2016-17 grew by to Rs 17.10 lakh crore. The robust revenue collections have raised hopes for the government to rein in the fiscal deficit.

As part of its transparency drive, the government is going all out to catch the tax evaders. The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), the policy making body of the Income Tax Department, has drawn up an action plan for 2016-17 to widen the tax net. The Income-Tax Department has launched Operation Clean Money/Swachh Dhan Abhiyan to crackdown against tax evaders.

The Income Tax Department found that around 18 lakh people made ‘suspicious’ cash deposits after the 8 November demonetisation announcement. In addition, the I-T Department also unearthed details of the high-value purchases during the period.

Operation Clean Money is a programming software used to get answers on all the deposits made during the demonetisation period. The Operation Clean Money data is being used to identify tax evaders.

Further, this report suggests that the Income Tax Department has charted a plan to broaden national taxpayer base and improve tax collection through effective utilisation of information. The I-T Department has devised a region-specific plan to track transactions by individuals without valid permanent account number (PAN). The CBDT has directed taxmen in every region to pursue potential taxpayers who escape the tax net. It has asked its officials to collect details on high-value transactions from annual information reports (AIR) and stressed on efficient handling of those pieces of information.

World mourns as Arvind Kejriwal admits mistake, decides to introspect

The unthinkable had happened.

On 28th April 2017, the revealer of all scams in the universe, the spotter of the corrupt, the certifier of the honest, the perceived to be infallible, convener of Aam Aadmi Party, Chief Minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal accepted that he had made mistakes and would need to introspect and course correct. The shock the world felt due to this statement soon turned into a sense of loss and the resultant grief.

Though NASA did not release pictures of India before and after this earth shaking statement by Arvind Kejriwal, the effect of it was visible on the ground. As our driver described it: “Delhi feels like a city in the mourning. People sobbing, crying looking stoned and moving like zombies. Hope it doesn’t last long.”

Our driver was right, the scene on the street was really gloomy. The streets were filled with sounds of sobs and cries. The sounds sometimes rose to a crescendo of wails and then suddenly, subdued into a silence, a complete silence as if an odd even scheme had been implemented on the demonstration of grief.

zombies of AAP
Desolate AAP supporters were seen moving around confused

An Aam Aadmi Party volunteer, still traumatized by the sense of loss was staring at empty space in the sky was muttering to himself, as if questioning the stars & other celestial bodies, “How can He say He made a mistake? Have the laws of universe become invalid? Has earth stopped rotating around the sun? Have the apples stopped falling on Newton’s head?”

Our scientifically challenged minds found the situation difficult to comprehend and we moved ahead.

The wails around the corner coaching center were loudest. One student explained to between sobs, “AK taught us the skill of holding other people responsible for our own failures. I have been failing in 12th class for six years. For first four years, I was made to feel ashamed at myself and had to go into hiding every time when results were announced. Now when results come, others go into hiding; my teachers feel ashamed that they could not teach me properly, my parents feel guilty of not providing an environment conducive to studies while I go on vacations funded by their feelings of shame & guilt. With Arvind doing a course correction, who is going to guide the next generation?”

The corner pan beedi shop too wore a distraught look. The boys were not smoking, nor drinking, not even blocking the road, nor gossiping about the girls in the nearest college hostel, they were just sitting quietly on the verge. The girls passing them looked at them with surprise. No lewd remarks, no blocking of way, no suggestive gestures, no abusive catcalls; something was seriously wrong.

One of the boys explained to us. “We were brought up in BC / MC culture and girls always looked at us with derision as a liberal looks at Sanghis. We thought we were destined to live in our low class environment but then our messiah came, taught us the parliamentary abuses and raised our level from illiterate to almost intellectual. I still remember the day when one of the girls smiled at me when I sang ‘psychopath, psychopath, O meri psychopath,  Dil ko chura le gayi.’ Now, can Arvind Kejriwal say that the intellectual status I have been ordained with was a mistake?”

At the end of the street, a bespectacled guy, sitting in a quiet corner, staring at his laptop seemed to convey more despondency than all others despite all their public display of grief.  We enquired about it and his emotions arising out of his sense of loss burst out, “The life has gone out of our lives, today,” his sense of misery choking his voice before he could continue.

We consoled him and enquired about his loss. He burst out again, “I run a satire website. What would I do if Kejriwal starts acting rationally? Start digging holes under MGNREGA? Or simply die of starvation?”

Twitterati slam website Quint for introducing ‘father and husband’ Osama

Controversial journalist Barkha Dutt had once introduced Hizbul terrorist Burhan Wani as ‘son of a school headmaster’ – a qualifier that didn’t go down well with many people who thought it, deliberately or otherwise, downplayed the dreaded personality a man who believed in violence and killings in the name of religion.

But that doesn’t seem to have bothered news and current affairs website The Quint, which decided to take it to the next level today by observing the “death anniversary” of terrorist Osama Bin Laden and letting their readers know about ‘human aspects’ of Osama such as how good or bad a father and a husband he was.

Quint on Osama
Morning dose of madness from The Quint

The Quint it seems believes in the old school of journalism where public feedback is seen as noise. The journalists are supposed to know the best and decide the best for the masses, who are bewildered herd looking for benevolent shepherds.

The website had earlier betrayed this belief when they appeared unmoved by criticisms where their irresponsible reporting was deemed to have pushed an army jawan into committing suicide.

So refusing to learn anything from the outrage over Barkha Dutt’s tweet, the Quint went ahead and introduced Osama as a husband and father today.

Let it be clear that Quint was not reporting anything “exclusive” or hitherto unknown aspects of Osama’s life. His character and personality has been reported and psychoanalyzed many times since 9/11 and after his death. But a decision to highlight the ‘human aspects’ on the “death anniversary” of Osama was bizarre and what put people off.

They reacted with disgust and sarcasm for this brand of journalism:


The style of remembering Osama also inspired Twitterati to trend a hashtag #QuintMemories where they imagined how the website will ‘pay tributes’ to other such ‘public figures’:

Poll-battered AAP in turmoil, Kumar Vishwas hints at quitting the party

After the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) suffered a massive drubbing in the recently concluded MCD polls, the fissure in the Arvind Kejriwal-led party have widened. The crisis in the party is deepening day by day. The poll-battered party into turmoil as there is a tug of war going on between top AAP party leadership.

On 2 April, senior AAP leader Kumar Vishwas hinted at quitting the party. Blaming the “coterie” within AAP for a series of poll debacle, Vishwas alleged that a section of party colleagues are hatching conspiracy against him.

The development came days after party MLA Amanatullah Khan called Vishwas a “RSS-BJP agent” and said that he was plotting a coup against Arvind Kejriwal. Khan had resigned from the party’s Political Affairs Committee (PAC). Vishwas was adamant that Khan being sacked from the party.

The poet-turned-politician said Khan is being just a “mask” used by some AAP leaders to attack him. “This is not being said by an MLA…he is only a mask and someone else is speaking behind him,” Vishwas said pointing fingers at Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia.

“A lot of tarnishing of image will take place. Let me tell those hatching conspiracies that I will not let this happen. I will take a decision in a day,” he said.

Earlier, several AAP MLAs met Vishwas seeking to pacify him. But that appeared to have yielded no results.

Following Vishwas’s attack on AAP leadership, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia hit back at him saying the party leadership strongly disapproves Vishwas’s statements.

“I am really upset with the statement of Kumar Vishwas. He should raise his concerns at the party forum instead of speaking to media,” Sisodia told reporters.

This is the second attack by Kumar Viswas on party leadership following the MCD poll defeat. Speaking to a private TV channel, Viswas had earlier questioned Kejriwal’s move to hide behind his imaginary “EVM tampering” blabber for the party’s poor show.  Following this AAP supporters hurled filthy abuses at each other on Twitter over Kumar Vishwas.

Amid the flurry of developments, Kejriwal and Sisodia met Vishwas at his residence in Delhi on late last night, but failed to pacify him.

The fresh tug of war in the party is a reminiscent of the 2015 bitter public spat involving Kejriwal, Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan, which had resulted in the duo quitting the party.

Now, after a series of poll drubbing, Arvind Kejriwal is struggling to keep the party together.

Media trolls oppose suspending account of Twitter troll who celebrated death of CRPF jawans

Twitter is a place where abuse remains a big problem, and this abuse comes from people claiming to follow all kinds of ideologies. One of such abusive account was of a Twitter troll, who had earlier openly advocated murders of Hindus in Kerala and had recently celebrated death of 26 CRPF men who were killed by Maoists a week earlier.

In February this year, OpIndia.com had highlighted the abusive tweets of this murderous Twitter troll who was followed by many journalists and Congress leaders. Many people had then wondered how could Twitter allow an account as hateful and criminal minded as this, to operate.

The murderous troll meanwhile got emboldened as Twitter didn’t take any action and even the journalists and Congress leaders who followed him didn’t condemn his tweets.

His bloodthirst and hate came to the fore again last week when he openly justified the massacre of CRPF jawans:

Screenshot of tweet
Hateful tweet of the murderous troll

Perhaps this finally led many people to report the account and Twitter suspended it yesterday.


Any sane mind would welcome removal of an abusive social media account that celebrates and advocates murders, but some so-called journalists and Congress supporters actually decided to support the murderous troll and asked Twitter to restore the abusive account. Worse, they spread lies about the murderous troll being non-abusive even though there are dozens of tweets proving his abuse and hate.

Among those supporting the murderous troll was Associate Editor of Catch News, who had earlier defamed the Indian Army by circulating pictures from Syria, and a columnist with leftist publications like The Wire, HuffPo etc. who was caught spreading fake video last month. They were joined by motley of Congress supporters:


Twitter is known to restore suspended accounts, and given how they have been lax against the same murderous troll earlier, they might as well restore his account to let him celebrate deaths again.

However, this incident has exposed how many in the mainstream media and political parties harbour deep Hinduphobia and are ready to collaborate with criminal elements.

LoC attack: Time to pay back Pakistan

The gruesome and unprovoked killing of two Indian soldiers on 1 May by Pakistani Army has shocked the nation. The Pakistani troops violated ceasefire, entered 250 metres deep into the Indian territory along the Krishna Ghati sector in Jammu & Kashmir, attacked two forward posts with rockets and mortar bombs. Two Indian soldiers – head constable Prem Sagar from the BSF and Naib Subedar Paramjeet Singh of 22 Sikh Regiment of the Army – were killed in the attack and their bodies mutilated. Such an act is extremely barbaric and inhumane to say the least.

The attacks were carried out by Pakistani Army’s Border Action Team (BAT). BAT, a rogue division of Pakistani Army, is primarily tasked for dominating the LoC by carrying out disruptive actions. It basically works in tandem with Pakistani terrorists waiting to sneak into Indian territory. The BAT is known for such notorious acts in the past. It could be recalled that the BAT was responsible for beheading two Indian soldiers – Lance Naik Hemraj and Lance Naik Sudhakar Singh – in a cross-border assault in 2013 along the Line of Control (LoC) in Poonch sector.

Why only BAT, the entire Pakistani Army is well known for such barbaric acts. Remember, the brutal torture and killing of Captain Saurabh Kalia and his team by Pakistani troops during the Kargil war in 1999.

There is not much difference between the Pakistani Army and their terrorist counterparts. The same was discovered when India carried out cross-boarder surgical strikes on Pakistani terror launch pads in September last year. It won’t be wrong to say that the Pakistani Army men are terrorists in their Army uniform. In fact, Pakistan’s ace intelligence agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) works as a facilitator between the Pakistani Army and the terrorists. Further, there is a nexus between the Pakistani Army, the Pakistani terrorists and the separatists back home in Kashmir. Again it is the ISI which works as the facilitator. It is pertinent to mention that the gruesome killing of two Indian soldiers by Pakistani Army’s BAT division came at a time when there is renewed protests by the separatists in the valley, underlining that link. They all, in a unison, follow the strategy to bleed India through a thousand cuts.

It is not just the BAT unit of Pakistani Army a rogue unit, or for that matter the Pakistani Army a rouge Army, it is Pakistan which is nothing but a rouge state. In 2004 SAARC Summit, Pakistan had promised that it won’t allow its territories or territories under its control for any terrorist activity against India. But the country uses terrorism as an instrument of state policy. So there is not to dispute that Pakistan is a terrorist state. So India should be always ready to deal with a terrorist state.

India’s patience is wearing thin. The 1 May attack can’t be go unpunished and the sacrifice of our brave soldiers can’t go in vain. Indian Army has already vowed an appropriate response. Meanwhile, reports suggests that the Indian Army has killed seven Pakistani soldiers and destroyed two Pakistani bunkers as part of its retaliatory action. However, India needs to do more to bend Pakistan.

Though India has shrugged off its “soft state” tag after the September, 2016 surgical strike, our fight against Pakistan and its terror installations must come a full circle. At a time when the international community is looking up to India with renewed respect, we must succeed in isolating Pakistan internationally. In addition, India should immediately scrap the Indus Waters Treaty with Pakistan as the PM Modi had rightly said “blood and water can’t flow together.”

Dear Liberals, why not call them ‘Cow-Commies’ or ‘Cow-comrades’?

First, they used to call them “cow-vigilantes”. As liberal frustration piled up, this term seemed too mild to capture the true magnitude of their outrage. I cannot say for sure which liberal intellectual started using the term “cow-terrorist”, but here is an example from the Deputy Editor of the Huffington Post (India) who had only recently wanted to invent “caste terrorism” to counter “cow terrorism”:

frustration of a leftist

Can you feel the rage? Well, it’s not enough. Those words simply aren’t severe enough. An article in the DailyO has now coined (to my knowledge) an even stronger term.

more frustration

I’ll keep an eye out for further additions to the political vocabulary. These days, the great Barkha Dutt is also harping on getting the right term for these cow vigilantes (not something too soft like “son of a poor headmaster” I guess):


Meanwhile, you can read this blistering article by Anand Ranganathan on selective outrage of both left and right on the holier-than-thou, left-wing website Newslaundry.

newslaundry

It tells the conveniently forgotten story of Farook, a formerly Muslim man who was recently lynched in Coimbatore for turning atheist. The article concludes with the assertion that both left and right wing consist of hypocrites swimming in selective outrage.

In case you are surprised that this would get posted on Newslaundry, you need to understand that’s what left-wing websites do for “balance”; they keep one guy on the team who claims to hate both left and right equally.

Well, at least the “cow-nazis” they are talking about are actual criminals who have been accused of heinous crimes. But how do you explain a similar ratcheting up of the vocabulary used against ordinary Hindus, who can be accused at worst of overcrowding public spaces?

blatant Hinduphobia

Terror? Whoa! Let alone grown ups, the increasing severity of language with respect to Hindus has not spared even innocent little children:

more Hinduphobia

Even the kids are being bombarded with heavy words like “terror” and “harassment”. The Quint provided us with a helpful illustration to show that no child, no matter how young, innocent and cute, should be spared the sword of liberal bombast when caught participating in a Hindu festival. Fortunately on this issue, OpIndia took the initiative to explain the elite point of view to the right wing.

Meanwhile, the ratcheting up of language against every kind of Hindu (whether an innocent child or a murder accused) has been accompanied by a proportional toning down of language used with respect to groups that the liberals prefer to associate with.

Just a day before May 1, Firstpost, which probably sees itself as a completely mainstream website, published a reminiscence on “feisty Naxalite” Charu Mazumdar:

Untitled

So who is this feisty Naxalite who was stalked and then subjected to cruel tortures by the Indian state until he died? If you are from Bengal, you have probably heard of this dreaded terrorist, but for others,  Firstpost provides a helpful introduction.

Untitled

Not a terrorist nor a Nazi. Not even a “vigilante”. Just an “ideologue”. An ideologue who espoused “targeted violence”. That doesn’t take away from the fact that he was so cool and “feisty”, does it?

It turns out that softening language towards certain groups in order to cover up crimes is a cool worldwide trend. In certain regions of Africa that correlate with a high population of believers in the one true faith, there was the horrific practice of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). Until now:

Untitled

It’s now “genital cutting” instead of “Female Genital Mutilation”. The New York Times Health and Science Editor explains what is behind this hot new trend:

Untitled

Don’t you dare use terms that are “culturally loaded”. Otherwise, it might offend people who are following the “rite” of Female Genital Mutilation. Yes, FGM can be a “rite”, unlike the Kanwariyas who are just undertaking a journey to spread terror. Or the kids spreading terror and harassment on Holi!

That’s the liberal playbook. Be it India or the US.

What the liberals don’t realize is that the people are on to them. In a world that is so closely connected, in a world of instant communication and in a world where the space for airing opinions has been so profoundly democratized. And yes, in a world that is full of inconvenient “trolls”.  They can have all the discussions they want, either on Whatsapp or at chintan shivirs in the Swedish Embassy, but good old fashioned hypocrisy doesn’t stand a chance. Take my word for it.

Meanwhile, I have a suggestion for Indian liberals who are shaking with helpless anger against Gau-Rakshaks but just can’t seem to find the right word to express their rage.

Cow vigilantes, Cow terrorists, Cow Nazis…

Hmmm… still not enough, I guess. Not enough to convey the red hot anger boiling inside you.

Wait a minute! Did I say Red?

Why not try calling them “Cow-Commies” or “Cow-Comrades“?

You know, the Communists murdered at least 400 lakh people worldwide. I bet a term like Cow-Commies or Cow-Comrades can sufficiently express just how much you despise the enemies of liberty. Or is “Cow-Comrades” a term that is too “culturally loaded”? Let me know.

Maulvi forcibly circumcises Hindu man after he married Muslim woman

In a bizarre incident that has come to light in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, a man named Amit Kumar, who is married to a Muslim woman, was abducted in order to pressurize him to convert to Islam. And while his abductors were at it, one Maulvi even proceeded to circumcise him against his will.

10 years back, Amit had married Shabnam who changed her name to Pooja after her marriage and both have two children aged 8 and 4. The family lives in a place called Madhavpuram. Their lives were peaceful until about 6 months back, when a man from Kharkhauda region named Maulana Riazuddin aka Bubbly and his associates started to threaten Amit to either convert to Islam or separate from his wife.

After Amit didn’t relent to these demands, he was kidnapped and held prisoner in a house in Madhavpuram earlier this year. There he was brutally beaten up and after his condition turned serious, he was thrown near a railway line. He was in hospital for around 2.5 months. The perpetrators thought that this could force Amit to reconsider his position.

When Amit didn’t agree to their demands even after this torture, he was reportedly kidnapped again, beaten up again, and was sedated with some drugs, following which he was circumcised. Now not only him, his family is also getting death threats, local media reports claim.

The incident is now attracting political intervention with Hindu Mahasabha meeting Meerut’s Inspector General Ajay Anand and demanding action in this case. The IG reportedly took a serious note of the matter and directed ASP Ravinder Gaur to launch an investigation. Directions were issued last week to file a report against Maulana Riazuddin aka Bubbly and for medical test of Amit.

Amit’s wife also confirms that the Maulana has been harassing them, asking her to dump her husband if he doesn’t convert to Islam. She says that her near and dear ones had no issue with her marriage but the Maulana is forcibly trying to meddle in their lives 10 years after their wedding.
