Ahmedabad, Jan 29: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has decided to probe into the claims of forced conversion of a Gujarat-born Malayali woman, who married a Muslim man from Kerala and after a fight with him accused him of trying to take sell her to terrorists in Syria.

Based on the complaint lodged by Akshara Bose (25), who had moved the Kerala High Court last year against her husband Mohammad Riyaz, a native of Thalassery, the NIA registered the case on Sunday, January 28. The case, which was earlier handled by the police, will now be handled by the NIA.

The NIA had, in November last year, said that it was ready to take up the investigation into the case if the HC wanted. The agency is already probing the Hadiya case, wherein the Supreme Court had recently ruled that the investigation could go as planned, except that her marriage to Shafin Jahan would not be probed.

What’s the Case?

Bose, born into a Hindu Ezhava family, is originally a native of Pathanamthitta in Kerala and resides in Gujarat along with her family. In her petition to the High Court, she had said that she met Mohammed Riyas while she was studying in Bengaluru.

She accused Riyas of forcing her to have sexual relations with him and recording the act. He then blackmailed her into converting to Islam and marrying him, after which Bose took the name Aisha, she told the court.  

She further alleged that he forged her Aadhaar card, got the marriage registered, and also forced her to listen to sermons by Dr Zakir Naik. She also accused her husband’s mother of colluding with him and alleged that they received gifts, in cash and kind, for converting a non-Muslim. She said she was also forced into wearing a veil and supporting ISIS.

Bose had gone to Saudi Arabia too along with Riyas in 2017. However, in her complaint, she alleged that she was forced to go to Saudi Arabia, where she was confined to a rented flat and was told that they would move her to Syria to “sell her to ISIS terrorists.”

She claimed that she managed to get in touch with her parents somehow, who got her a ticket back to Ahmedabad. She also alleged that there was a threat from Riyas and an activist of the Popular Front in Kerala.

However, those who know the couple closely claim that it was a love marriage and not a forced conversation. The woman decided to take revenge against him husband after a fight with him in Saudi Arabia.

Meanwhile, sources from NIA said that the agency would probe into all allegations made by the woman including forced conversion and attempt to sell her to terrorists.

In her complaint , she included everything to tarnish muslims... forced conversion, family & community support for conversion, flow of money for conversions.. forced sex, recording it to blackmail... forced to watch Zakir naik videos (to prove him as terrorist), connecting to popular front (to expand propaganda)... etc   . entire story seems hatched by Sangh parivaar or NIA itself for sangh parivaar....

Fantastic Cock & Bull story. It reminds me of CHANDAMAMA monthly story book I used to read half a century back. Instead of sneking into Muslims bed rooms, had these people searched few Ashrams in the country, thousands of sisters would have been saved and billions of wealth unearthed and loads of illegal arms & amuntions would have been seized. What a pathetic state of our great nation today!!!

New Delhi, Jul 9: The Central Board of Secondary Education has strongly defended its decision to drop topics like democratic rights, citizenship, federalism, secularism etc in the name of reducing the syllabus for Classes 9 to 12 due to COVID-19 pandemic. 

The board has claimed that the dropped lessons "are either being covered by the rationalised syllabus or in the Alternative Academic Calendar of NCERT".

The CBSE said it had to come up with the clarification after realizing its decision was "interpreted differently".

"The rationalisation of syllabus up to 30 per cent has been undertaken by the Board for nearly 190 subjects of class 9 to 12 for the academic session 2020-21 as a one-time measure only. The objective is to reduce the exam stress of students due to the prevailing health emergency situation and prevent learning gaps," it said.

While it has said that no questions can be asked from the reduced syllabus in the next board exams, the CBSE has also directed schools to follow alternative calendars prepared by the NCERT.

"Therefore each of the topics that have been wrongly mentioned in media as deleted have been covered under Alternative Academic Calendar of NCERT which is already in force for all the affiliated schools of the Board," it clarified.

On Wednesday, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee tweeted: "Shocked to know that the central Government has dropped topics like citizenship, federalism, secularism and partisan in the name of reducing CBSE course during the COVID crisis."

"We strongly object to this and appeal the HRD Ministry to ensure these vital lessons aren't curtailed at any cost," Banerjee added.

Bengaluru, Jul 16: Former Prime Minister and JDS supremo H D Devegowda on Thursday gave a clarion call to party workers to take steps to strengthen the party from the grossroots level and to 'expose the failures' and 'anti-people' policies of BJP government both at the Centre and State.

In an open letter to the workers here, he alleged that the urgent need is to create awareness among the people about failure of the governments which have brought in policies which are deterrent to the poor and downtrodden.

BJP government headed by Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa in Karnataka has come up with an amendment to the Land Reforms Act,1961, which is 'against' interests of the small and medium farmers as even a non-agriculturist can purchase agriculture land, thus giving an opportunity to the rich people to 'exploit' illiterate farmers and purchase their land and use it for some other purpose after some time.
