‘Till now I did not get freedom. Allow me to meet my husband’: Hadiya tells India

Salem, Nov 29: Freed by the Supreme Court from the custody of parents and directed to pursue her studies, Akhila alias Hadiya, on Wednesday reiterated that she desired to meet her husband Shafin Jahan, against whom her father had made shocking allegations.

Hadiya, who had been kept under house arrest by her father for converting to Islam and then marrying a Muslim man, said that college should not be another prison for her.  “I will continue my studies. But I should be allowed to meet my husband,” said Hadiya.

Earlier speaking to a television channel Hadiya said: “I need the freedom to meet the person I love. I wanted to meet my husband... Till now I did not get freedom because I was not allowed by the officials to meet my husband. I am asking for my fundamental rights.”

She arrived here in a police vehicle from Coimbatore, about 170 km from here, amid tight security, to pursue her studies at a homeopathy college here. "I have sought permission from the college authorities to meet my husband. I hope they will allow," she told reporters at the college where she will undergo a 11-month internship.

During the proceedings yesterday, the apex court refused to allow Hadiya's plea to go with her husband. Earlier, she arrived here in a police vehicle from Coimbatore, about 170 km from here, amid tight security. Hadiya, wearing a yellow scarf, was whisked away to the Managing Director's office at the college soon after arrival.

Hadiya's body language appeared to be in contrast to her conduct during her departure from Kochi to New Delhi a few days ago when she shouted she was a Muslim and married on her own will. The woman quietly walked past the big contingent of waiting media persons and went straight to the MD's office accompanied by police and college officials. On her way to hostel, Hadiya said she does not need security at the college.

"It is not necessary, but at least for two days I think security will be there," she told reporters in reply to a question. A Police official said they would have to comply with the court's order and adequate security would be provided to her in the college and hostel. On the issue of allowing Hadiya to meet her husband, the official said it could not be done without any order from the court. Expressing solidarity with Hadiya, a small group of persons stood outside the college compound holding placards.

It read "Stop judicial terrorism, we stand with you Hadiya, Allow her to live with her husband." The Kerala High Court had on May 29 annulled the marriage of Hadiya with Jahan. The judgment was a shock for Hadiya as he had repeatedly stated that she is a mature and it was her decision to marry him.

Why court is not allowing her to meet her husband.  Why freedom is avoided to her.  Is this not voilation of human rights.  Court should listen to her request and let us lead peaceful life with her husband.  None should prevent her from living with her husband.   Avoiding her from meeting her husband is like harassing her and torturing her.  where are women organisations who fight for women freedom.  Why are they closing eyes.   Is this because she married a muslim male.   As she has no rights to live as per her wish?

Her basic right has been curtailed by apex court, where it is the only final source where all basic rights are defended. Where can an oppressed can seek the justice.

The same court questioned the high court on the same matter in favour of the girl.

Bengaluru, July 31: Denying irregularities in covid-19 equipment purchase by the Karnataka government, the state unit of the BJP has issued legal notices to Congress leaders Siddaramaiah and D K Shivakumar demanding that they apologize or face a defamation suit. 

The notices seek a public apology for the allegations levelled against the government on irregularities in the procurement of Covid-19 equipment and supplies. 

Both Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar, the Karnataka Congress president, have been doggedly pursuing allegations of corruption against the BJP government and have demanded a judicial inquiry. 

BJP general secretary N Ravi Kumar said that while the Congress leaders claimed that Rs 4,157 crore was spent during Covid-19, they also allege that the government has not responded to any of the 20 letters written by them. "If the government has not provided any answer to the Opposition, where did they get the figures from," he said.

None of the allegations of corruption is specific and the statements made are factually incorrect. "These statements, without any basis, have been issued calculatedly to lower the image and damage the reputation of the government, the Bharatiya Janata Party, representatives of the party and the ministers in the government," the notice issued on behalf of Ravi Kumar read.
