Newsroom, Feb 28:  Kerala girl Hadiya alias Akhila, who had faced torture for embracing Islam and then marrying a Muslim man, is now a doctor. Her husband Shafin Jahan, who had to face the allegation of so called ‘love jihad’ from a section of political parties and media, has shared this news with the people through a social media post.

“This shining victory is an outstanding achievement because it comes at the end of countless prayers, relentless struggles of separation and imprisonment, love, patience and so on,” wrote Shafin Jahan on his Facebook wall while proudly addressing his wife as “Dr Hadiya Asokan.”

He also uploaded a picture of Hadiya wherein she can be seen sporting a doctor’s coat and a stethoscope. “Finally You reached an important destination out of all odds. Very proud to address you a Doctor,” he commented over his wife completing her Homoeo degree course at a college at Salem in Tamilnadu.

Hadiya had to suspend her studies after her father K M Ashokan a hardline Hindutva activist hailing from Vaikom in Kottayam district in Kerala, moved the state high court in 2017 to annul her marriage to Shafin.

HC had annulled the marriage believing in Ashokan’s blatant lie that his daughter was forcibly converted to Islam and her marriage with Shefin was illegal. He also had claimed that Shefin had links with terror outfits. Ashokan had kept Hadiya under house arrest wherein she was tortured. The Supreme Court later set aside the HC order and allowed Hadiya to live with Shafin.

Hadiya had expressed her wish to complete her studies even at the court. While the case was progressing, Hadiya was allowed to continue her study at a college in Salem. And tight police cover was given to her. According to Hadiya, her husband encouraged her to continue with her studies.

Mangaluru, Mar 31: With the Dakshina Kannada district administration relaxing the lockdown from 6 am to 3 pm to purchase essential commodities, panic-stricken citizens rushed to the shops early in the morning itself.

The citizens had formed a serpentine line in front of shops and supermarkets in different parts of Mangaluru and on the outskirts of the city to purchase their requirements.

As a precautionary measure, many were seen wearing masks.

“In spite of waiting in a long queue to purchase, we are not able to get the required essential commodities. Why can’t the district administration ensure enough stock of commodities in the shops and supermarkets,’’ asked a customer who had stood in a queue outside a supermarket at Chilimbi.
People were seen crowding outside markets at Kankanady, Mallikatte, Urwa and Central Market, violating the purpose of social distancing.

Consequently, vegetable prices have increased in the markets and shops. This is despite abundant stocks being available in these markets.

Trucks had unloaded the vegetables at Central Market on Sunday, according to sources. The prices of onions are skyrocketing yet again and is sold from Rs 50 to Rs 55 while a kg of carrot costs Rs 100.

"Why can’t the authorities check the rise in the price of vegetables and ensure that the poor are not inconvenienced," asks Lakshmi, a housewife.
