American Hindus condemn murder of Muslim techie in India

June 6, 2014

Washington, Jun 6: A Hindu American body has strongly condemned the murder of a young IT professional in Pune on Monday and asked the authorities to bring perpetrators to justice.

American Hindus“We at the foundation deplore communal violence of any kind,” said Suhag Shukla, executive director of Hindu America Foundation (HAF) on Thursday.

Mohasin Shaikh, 28, a resident of Bankar Colony in Pune suburb, was allegedly bludgeoned to death with hockey sticks by a group of Hindu Rashtra Sena men after uploading of an objectionable post on social networking website Facebook by unknown people which denigrated warrior king Chhatrapati Shivaji and Shiv Sena chief late Bal Thackeray.

A total of 17 people have been arrested by police in connection with the murder of Mohasin Shaikh Sadiq.

“That the local authorities have already begun their investigation and made arrests is indeed encouraging.

We ask both the central and state governments to address this episode expeditiously and ensure that justice is served,” Shukla said.

Geneva, Apr 23: The World Health Organisation (WHO) on Wednesday (local time) said that the COVID-19 crisis will not end any time soon, with several countries only in the initial stages of the fight against the virus.

"Make no mistake, we have a long way to go. Coronavirus will be with us for a long time. There is no question that stay at home orders and other physical distancing measures have successfully suppressed transmission in many countries," WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a press conference.

"Most countries are in the early stages of their epidemics. And some, which were affected early in the pandemic, are now starting to see a resurgence in the number of cases," he added.

COVID-19 has infected more than 2.6 million people around the world and a total of 1,83,027 people have died due to coronavirus, according to data from US-based Johns Hopkins University.
