Muslims in India have been taken for granted for a long long time now. This is now a FIGHT for the self respect and dignity of the Muslim community. Insha'Allah!
Jail authorities and district administration have denied presence of my father, Janab Javed Muhammad, in the Naini Central Jail where he was kept following his arrest. We are concerned about his safety and health!
Though there has been no official confirmation given to us, we have been able to locate Abbu, Janab Javed Muhammad, in Deoria jail. Members of my family were able to meet him today. Alhamdulillah.
Buses from UP reach Kota to bring back students who have been stuck in the coaching town. Glad these students will get to go back home to their parents. But should the same not be done for migrants who wish to go home? How can we ask one group to stay put & ‘rescue’ second group?
Alhamdulillah, Umar Khalid Bhai has been released on bail by sessions court today. He was one of the leaders of the anti-CAA movement in Allahabad.
Eid Mubarak to him and his family.
From our faith and history to our eating habits and clothes, the Hindu supremacists ruling India today have spared nothing in their campaign against our community.
