Muslim man converts to Hinduism with entire family to spur UP cops to investigate his son’s death

Baghpat(UP), Oct 3: After realising that the local police are treating his son’s suspected murder as suicide just because of his religion, a Muslim man in Uttar Pradesh has converted to Hinduism along with 12 members of his family.

The bizarre incident took place at Badarkha village under Chhaprauli police station area in Baghpat district on Monday (October 1). After formal conversation, Akhtar appealed the policemen to reinvestigate this son’s unnatural death case.

“We were Muslims. This might have discouraged the local police to properly investigate my son’s death case. Now, we have converted to Hinduism. I hope that at least now police will stop considering my son’s death as suicide,” said a helpless Akhtar told media persons after submitting affidavit to the area sub-divisional magistrate, testifying his “voluntary” change of religion.

The conversation took place with requisite rituals. The family members wrapped saffron robes around their shoulders and chanted “Jai Shri Ram”. They also got their names changed, he added. A 'hawan' and recitation of Hanuman Chalisa too was held at the Badarkha village on Tuesday.

Later, Yuva Hindu Vahini (Bharat) state chief Shaukendra Khokhar also urged the police to consider Akhtar’s son death case seriously.

Khokhar said Akhtar was upset after his son Gulhasan was "murdered". "Gulhasan's body, however, was hung to make it appear a suicide," he said.

“Despite repeated assertions by the youth’s family that he was murdered, the police concluded it to be a case of suicide. Akhtar’s family sought help from the members of their own community but they were not very forthcoming and did not help them much. This prompted Akhtar and his family members to change their religion,” he said.

Baghpat District Magistrate Rishirendra Kumar confirmed the incident and said the family members changed their religion as they were not satisfied with the police probe into the death of Akhtar's son a few months ago.

Islam is not a religion to add membership to show the population.

 

It is a true religion to practice guidelines of only one creator Allah (S.B.T). Accepting and quitting Islam will not make any difference for true Muslims. One who understands his creator will not reject his religion even if he dies because his life starts after death which is unlimited. The life in earth is so short that we can compare to hotel stay for a day.

 

Rejecting Islam means he is rejecting his creator Al Mighty Allah and it doesn’t mean he is quitting from Islam

 

 

Islam is the second largest religion in the world only in Qty. where is true Muslim? very few in qty

 

 

Accepting Islam doesn’t mean becoming membership in Islam. It is accepting his creator and his guidelines to practice successful and peaceful life and thereby prepare for his permanent life which starts after his death.

 

For true Muslims there is no fear to die. because he is always prepared and waiting for his death

 

 

May Almighty Allah guide us True path and success.

This is really unfortunate.  He has chnged in religion only to get the verdict in his favor.  Suppose he wont get it, will he convert to Christianity or Budhism or Sikhism?   Will the media give same preference in case he would have changed to religion other than Hinduism or if any Hindu converted to another religion.   This issue is now on the top agenda of Media and they are publishing it by applying ghee + butter.   None knows truth behind it.  However this family will not succeed in this world and the life after death if they convert to other religion though none can force them to change the religion.   Islam or Muslims will not lose anything if this family converts to another religion.   But this family will lose and they will realise it sooner or later.  Let us pray God to keep them on right path and not on the path of Sathan.

The religion is set of law decreed by the CREATOR/ ONE AND ONLY GOD.

It guides from birth till death and showing how to be also succesful in the life after the death.

 

This is not how we think just to suite the temporary needs.

Before accepting or rejecting any religion, he should have thorough idea of its teachings.

 

Unless it is known, believed in it  and practiced, we can not call him the follower of Hinduism OR ISLAM, OR Christianity OR whatever.

 

Like changing for personal temporary gains, has no meaning and not required they can live like aninals which have no religions.

The animals follow and  do whatever easy for them.

 

God give wisdom to all

Bengaluru, Aug 7: Amid the rising number of COVID-19 cases in Karnataka, the state's health department issued fresh guidelines for the disposal of bodies of COVID patients.

"Although an increased risk of COVID infection from a dead body to health workers or family members who follow standard precautions while handling the body is unlikely, the lack of scientific data requires the utmost care to avoid the inadvertent spread of COVID-19 during these times," the statement from the health department's press release read, emphasising on the dignity of the dead and the religious and cultural tradition.

The 23-page press release elaborated on guidelines regarding testing, handling of dead bodies and other specificities in relation to the management of COVID-19 bodies.

"Testing should not be insisted in every case of death, but only when they have a recorded history of influenza-like symptoms. The body should be handed over to the family members/ relatives in a dignified manner immediately after swab collection and hospitals should provide handouts with a list of dos and don'ts in English and Kannada laying down relevant information," the statement said.

It added, "At the mortuary, health care workers, mortuary staff and the family of the deceased body shall not come in direct contact with the dead body and must wear full personal protective equipment (PPE). If the family or relative are for any reason unable to cremate or bury the body, the local health authority shall arrange for the dignified last rites as per the religious traditions of the family."

Regarding autopsies (post mortem) on COVID-19 bodies, the state department said that they should be avoided, except in necessary circumstances.

The statement also gave detailed guidelines regarding the appropriate recording of COVID-19 deaths in line with the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) guidelines.

Additionally, the health department made a statement about the admission procedure for COVID positive patients referred by other district administrations saying, "It is now mandatory for all the referrals from the BBMP admission and discharge of COVID positive patients to be done through the online COVID Hospital Bed Management System (CHBMS)."

The state's count of coronavirus cases was 1,51,449 in the past 24 hours.

So far, a total of 2,804 people have died due to COVID-19 in the state, while the average recovery rate in Karnataka is 49.3 per cent.

Washington, May 29: US President Donald Trump while speaking with reporters at the White House on Thursday said that he is more liked in India than the media in his own country --the United States.

"I know. And they like me in India. I think they like me in India certainly more than the media likes me in this country, " Trump told reporters at his Oval office.

"And I like Modi (Prime Minister Narendra Modi). I like your prime minister a lot. He's a great gentleman. A great gentleman," he added further while briefing the reporters.

But when asked over ties between India and China, the US President said, "They have a big conflict going with India and China. Two countries with 1.4 billion people. Two countries with very powerful militaries. And India is not happy, and probably China is not happy."

Reiterating his offer to mediate between India and China on the border issue, Trump said that he spoke to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is not in "good mood" about the ongoing situation with Beijing.

However, informed sources from the Ministry of External Affairs told ANI on Friday that there has been no recent contact between Prime Minister Modi and the US President. The last conversation between them took place on April 4, 2020, on the subject of hydroxychloroquine.

Asked about his Wednesday's tweet regarding his offer to mediate between India and China, Trump said, "I would do that. If they (China and India) thought it would help." However, Trump did not clarify when did he speak to Modi.

Trump on Wednesday tweeted that he is "ready, willing and able to mediate" between India and China."We have informed both India and China that the United States is ready, willing and able to mediate or arbitrate their now raging border dispute," the US President said.

In response to Trump's mediation offer, India said on Thursday that it is engaged with the Chinese side to resolve the border issue peacefully.

India's Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Anurag Srivastava said that the two sides have established mechanisms both at military and diplomatic levels to resolve situations that may arise in border areas peacefully through dialogue and "continue to remain engaged through these channels."

Indian and Chinese field commanders have been holding talks on de-escalating the tensions.

China has also struck a conciliatory tone on the border issue with India, saying the two countries pose no threat to each other and should resolve their differences through communication, while not allowing them to overshadow bilateral relations.

"We should never let differences overshadow our relations. We should resolve differences through communication. China and India should be good neighbours of harmonious coexistence and good partners to move forward hand in hand," said Chinese Ambassador to India, Sun Weidong, on Wednesday.

The tensions escalated between India and China following a number of confrontations between soldiers of both armies.

Troops of India and China were engaged in two face-offs in Eastern Ladakh and North Sikkim along the disputed Line of Actual Control (LAC), where troops from both sides suffered injuries early this month.

Studies over the anti-malarial drug, which is believed to cure the highly contagious coronavirus, have shown side-effects, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organisation. But Trump continues to defend his decision to take hydroxychloroquine saying he believes that it gives an additional level of safety.
