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.

Bengaluru, Jul 31: The Karnataka government on Wednesday put on hold a controversial proposal to drop certain chapters, including on Islam, Christianity, Tipu Sultan and his father Hyder Ali, from social science textbooks to reduce the 2020-21 syllabi for students in classes 1-10.

Citing the COVID-19 pandemic and the disruption caused to the academic calendar of the year, the government had earlier dropped the chapter on Tipu Sultan and Hyder Ali from the Class 7 social science textbook, saying chapters on Tipu Sultan have been retained in the Class 6 and 10 textbooks.

The move did not go down well with the opposition, which saw certain ulterior motives behind the decision.

Apparently under sharp criticism, the Department of Public Instruction issued a new notification on Wednesday "on the directions of the Karnataka Primary and Secondary Education Minister S Suresh Kumar".

There is a delay in opening the schools during the academic year 2020-21 due to COVID-19 pandemic, said the latest order.

In this context, the order said, chapters were dropped to fit in 120 days of the academic year for classes 1 to 10 and the same was published in the department's website.

"However, on the directions of the Minister for Primary and Secondary Education, the decision to drop certain chapters has been put on hold. A review will be done following which the deleted chapters will be uploaded in the website," the order read.

Earlier in the day, Mr Kumar had issued a statement, saying that the decision to truncate the syllabus has not been finalised yet. He also made it clear that his department would not remove chapters unnecessarily.

Former chief minister and Congress leader Siddaramaiah had attacked the government on the issue.

"The government, which has failed to control the spread of coronavirus, is using it as an opportunity to push its clandestine agenda of saffronising the textbooks," Siddaramaiah tweeted.
