Zakir Naik's IRF in HC against its immediate ban

January 13, 2017

New Delhi, Jan 13: Islamic Research Foundation of Indian Islamic preacher Zakir Naik today challenged in Delhi High Court the Centre's decision to immediately ban the organisation, claiming no reasons were given for taking such action under Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA).

naik Justice Sanjeev Sachdeva, before whom the matter was listed, heard part arguments on behalf of the organisation and the Centre and asked the government to produce the relevant record on January 17 so that the court can see whether there was material for urgent ban of IRF.

IRF, in its plea, has challenged the November 17, 2016, notification of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) which had imposed an immediate ban on the organisation under UAPA.

According to IRF, the notification gives no reason and cites no material for taking such a step as was required by the law laid down by the Supreme Court.

It said the immediate ban was imposed without giving them any show cause notice.

As per the Centre's notification, read out in the court by Additional Solicitor General (ASG) Sanjay Jain, the need for taking the "urgent step" was felt in view of the apprehension that Indian youths could be "radicalised" or "motivated" by the alleged statements and speeches made by IRF and its members, including its President, Naik, to join terror groups like ISIS, which is a cause of global concern.

Opposing the maintainability of the plea, the ASG said the government did not want to wait for some "catastrophic" incident or "pralay" to happen before taking a decision.

He argued the notification mentions that Naik was making statements which not only allegedly extolled Osama bin Laden but also promoted terrorism.

He also said that as per the notification, Naik was also accused of making statements which were "derogatory of other religions" and thus, "spreading communal disharmony".

He said that Mumbai Police had already lodged an FIR against six others of IRF on a complaint by the father of a Kerala-based youth who joined ISIS.

ASG Jain further said that some terrorists and ISIS sympathisers arrested by the authorities have allegedly claimed "they were inspired by the fundamental statements made by IRF".

The ASG said the matter is now before the Tribunal, set up under the UAPA, which will take up the issue on February 6 on which date the organisation will be provided all the affidavits filed by the government.

IRF, on the other hand, contended that dates or content of the alleged speeches and statements have not been mentioned in the notification.

It also said the Tribunal refused to accept or admit, before February 6, its plea challenging the immediate ban and thus, it had to come to the high court.

It said that it was limiting its plea to the immediate ban and not raising the issue of freezing of its accounts under the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act.

All Haters
Atleast use your God given intellect on what he says and then think about your blind support to the devils knowingly or unknowingly.... One day you will surely come to know that ZN was speaking the TRUTH and You guys did not use your intellect to verify on what he says .... is it reallly there in VEDAS that it says NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI.. there is no image of God (Then What im I worshiping ,,,, it may be the devils who doesnt want to know the TRUTH... ) cos devil knows he is in hell after disobeying the God who created him too... and he wants YOU to to follow in this deception.
Stop listening to your EGO and Verify what ZN says and then analyse. God says his creation needs to think and PONDER... So please PONDER & WAKE UP . its the REALITY that there is only ONE GOD (We humans have no power to see him (just like the air, we still believe it even though we did not see air) for whole of creation in this worlds...

Many things we believe which we dont see... What if ZN is telling the TRUTH? Y dont you verify ... Are you guys that lazy.. to check, investigate, research and reply to him the way he says the truth about other religions...

Many people are converted to Islam not by force but by beautiful teaching of Islam. Since Sri ravishankar could not debate him, he is using saffron government against him but Inshallah he will not succeed.

ISLAM IS RELIGION OF PEACE. TASTE IT YOU WILL NEVER LEAVE IT. IM LOVING IT.

Anti islam forces active enlarge. On the otherhand hindutva fringe outfits are given free hand to spread hatred. Hypocracy at its peak. Indeed a big question mark on indian judicial system.

Suresh Neramballi - an unsung Mangalurean hero in Kuwait

Sushma Bangera

June 4,2020

Kuwait: The Covid-19 pandemic has pushed the whole world into a difficult situation and the situation of Indians in Kuwait is not any different. Many people have lost their jobs, have no salary, are deprived of food and are not able to pay rent. The appalling conditions of labourers, domestic workers, taxi drivers and low waged earners don’t seem to end in Kuwait.

At this trying situation when many people were even afraid of leaving their houses because of coronavirus, Suresh S. Rao Neramballi, volunteer of the Food Kit Distribution at the ICSG (Indian Community Support Group) has helped many tremendously. He was ready to go around delivering food kits at any time possible by his car. However, after Kuwait imposed a full curfew from 11th May 2020, no one could take out their vehicles unless they had a curfew pass.

This did not stop Mr. Suresh Neramballi, who then borrowed a bicycle from a friend and ended up going around in the cycle delivering the food kits in curfew break time (4:30pm to 6:30pm) to all those who registered in the ICSG website. This selfless service surely commands appreciation and applause. Mr. Suresh Neramballi has been a light for many families and bachelors in Kuwait and will surely garner the blessings of them who have been able to eat at this time.

He was also the one who could deliver the food kits to many Indian Muslim maids, bachelors, laborers and families previous day and right on the day of EID, as they were not able to go shopping for their groceries for EID, due to the curfew. They blessed him in EID dua.

Mr. Suresh Neramballi hails from Mangaluru, India and is an Engineer in the Oil sector company in Kuwait. He has been dedicated to social service, achieved 'Aryabhata International Award' for his Kannada Service and Social service, served in many Associations and Distributor of Kannada and Tulu Movies in Kuwait. He wholeheartedly thanks the people and government of Kuwait for his bread and butter.
