You can’t question the legitimacy of Hadiya’s marriage: SC tells NIA

News Network

January 23, 2018

In what can be termed as an interim relief for Hadiya, a Hindu convert Muslim college student from Kerala, a three-judge bench of the Supreme Court upheld her right to select her husband and observed that the National Investigation Agency (NIA) cannot probe her marital status.

The court said that the NIA probe will not have any bearing on the legitimacy of Hadiya's marriage to Shafin Jahan which was annulled by Kerala High Court. The apex court will continue to hear the matter on 22 February.

"You can probe anything but not on marital status, marriage has to be separated from any criminal action, aspect and conspiracy, otherwise we will be creating a bad precedent," the bench headed by Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra said.

"We will only examine whether the court can cancel the marriage. We can't question the legitimacy of her marriage, it is Hadiya who will decide who is a good human being or bad," the judges said.

In November, the Supreme Court freed Hadiya from her parents, who had insisted that she had been brainwashed and forced to convert, and allowed her to resume her studies at a college in Tamil Nadu, where she was studying before she married Shafin Jahan.

After conversion to Islam, Hadiya had met Shafin through a matrimonial website and later they got married. Hadiya's parents refused to accept her marriage to Shafin Jahan, claiming that he wants to take her to Syria. Hadiya, who doesn’t even holds a passport has rubbished her parents charge as a blatant lie.

In May 2017, on the Hindu parents’ petition, the Kerala High Court annulled Hadiya's marriage and ordered her to go back to her parents. She was kept under house arrest for several months where she was allegedly tortured by her parents and Hindutva extremists groups.

Shafin Jahan had challenged the order in the Supreme Court, arguing that as an adult, she has the right to decide. In an interim order on a petition by Jahan challenging the high court verdict, the Supreme Court had on 27 November 2017 set Hadiya free from the custody of her parents. The apex court, however, did not accept her plea to be allowed to go with her husband.

Comments

NIA has been getting nice slaps from various authorities for false investigations. earlier it was against the peace promoter Zakir naik & now Hadiya's case. I think NIA has an influence by RSS to distroy the nation and our future generation. People of india should unite together & stand against any injustice to anyone irrespective of caste, religion or colour.

Sangeeth - you Feku's liar agent, RSS & BJP has direct links with ISIS ( Israeli Secret Intelligence Service) and NOT these poor couple (Haadia) has no Passport so far.

They spent many months for unwanted issue because of saffrons. Hadiya's father playing for saffrons. Let Hadiya and Shafin live peacefully

Why NIA and Hindutva org teasing Hadiya and her hus this much. Even we cant bear by listening their matter. Too bad

Supreme court taking double standard. Their marriage may cause serious security issue. They have IS links

All because of Feku. Judiciary, economy everything feku destroyed. People loosing faith in justice and judiciary

She is major. Why nobody listening her words. She can decide. She has the right.

Good. tight slap on NIA.

Stop NIA propaganda

Shantanu Gupta’s book on BJP to become part of curriculum in Indonesia’s Islamic University

News Network

February 24,2020

New Delhi, Feb 24: A book on the history of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will become a part of a course in the Islamic University of Indonesia, as the party’s two consecutive victories in India’s general elections has evoked interest among academicians, a faculty member said.

The book, titled Bhartiya Janata Party — Past, Present & Future, Story of World’s Largest Political Party and written by Shantanu Gupta, will become a part of the syllabus for undergraduate students of South Asian studies in the Department of International Relations.

Hadza Min Fadhli, a faculty member at the university, said there was a rising interest in the BJP’s rise among academicians in Indonesia, especially after the party won two general elections in India.

He said the book would be part of the syllabus for undergraduate courses in South Asian studies in the Department of International Relations.

Mr. Hadza said he got to know about the book during a recent visit to India as part of the Kautilya Fellowship programme, organised by the India Foundation. “We in Indonesia intend to further strengthen our relations with India. Therefore, it is important to understand its ruling party. We expect the BJP would also intend to do the same,” Mr. Hadza said.

When asked about the book being selected to be a part of a course in an Indonesian university, Mr. Gupta said global recognition of his work is immensely satisfying.

This book chronicles the history of the BJP which, Mr. Gupta said, described the saffron party as the latest political manifestation of the various nationalist movements that the country has seen.

Mr. Gupta has authored five other books, including a biography of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and a book on football in India.

Comments

Stupidity of faculty.

They should know the reaction of Malaysians to BJP's attrocities.

When Malaysia outright knows BJP's agenda, they reacted.

This decission of Indonesian faculty shows clear stupidity and his mental stability.

God give wisdom to Indonesians

Flight chartered by ‘Expertise’ repatriates stranded Saudi Kannadigas to Mangaluru along with employees

June 11,2020

Mangaluru, June 11: The Saudi Arabia based Expertise Contracting Company, which is repatriating its employees to India and other countries, today allocated around 90 seats of one of its chartered flights to Kannadigas stranded in Saudi Arabia.

The Gulf Air flight took off with around 175 passengers on board from Dammam International Airport around noon local time. It is expected to land at Mangaluru International Airport at around 7 p.m. Indian time.

In fact the company had chartered the flights only to repatriate its employees. However, due to the lack of special flights under Vande Bharati Mission, the company decided to help the other stranded Kannadigas in Saudi Arabia, who had approached Saudi Kannadigas Humanity Forum for help.

A company official said that around 2,000 employees from various countries in the Indian subcontinent are being repatriated, of which 1,665 are Indians. Already hundreds of them have reached India, and hundreds are still waiting for repatriation.

“We are grateful to Expertise for allowing to travel in the flight which the company had chartered to repatriate its own employees,” said one of the passengers before boarding the flight at the airport.

Director of Expertise, KS Shaikh said the 20-year-old Expertise group, one of the largest conglomerates in the GCC operating in petrochemical and heavy equipment sectors, has more than 10,000 employees and their family members in the Gulf, mainly in Jubail, one of the largest industrial cities.

Of these, the company has chosen over 2,000 employees for the covid-related repatriations considering various emergencies. He said 12 chartered flights have been engaged to carry out the repatriation exercise to the Indian subcontinent.
