Rahul Gandhi’s Congress prevents party MP Asrarul Haque from voicing against Talaq Bill

Senior Congress leader and Member of Parliament Maulana Mohammad Asrarul Haque has obliquely criticised the party high command for not allowing him to voice against the controversial Talaq Bill, which was passed by the Lok Sabha earlier this week in spite of severe opposition from Muslim women across Indian.

Haque, who represents Bihar’s Kishanganj seat in the parliament, said in an interview that the so called Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill is not only against the Islamic Shariah but also against Indian constitution and Muslim women of the country. 

Muslim scholars across India including women have termed the Bill draconian which can snatch the fundamental rights of Muslim men and women if implemented. The Bill proposes three year jail term for a husband (only if he is a Muslim) if his wife accuses him of giving her instant triple talaq.

The Bill, a brainchild of BJP, was passed in Lok Sabha last Thursday with the support of Rahul Gandhi led Congress party. The Bill is likely to sail through the Rajya Sabha too if Congress continues to support it. 

75-year-old Haque, who is also the Bihar state president of Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind, said that he would never accept his party’s stance on the controversial Bill.  He also said that he wanted to vote against it but couldn’t reach the Parliament on time due to traffic jam. “I am sad that my party did not allow me to speak against the Bill in the parliament. I request my party to oppose the Bill at least in Rajya Sabha,” he said.

Bengaluru, Jul 8: Kannada television actor Susheel Gowda has reportedly committed suicide in his home town Mandya.

 According to reports, the actor killed himself yesterday. The exact reason for suicide hasn't been revealed yet. 

The news has come as a shock to many celebrities. The actor was over 30 years of age and had acted in TV shows. 

He played a role in serial Anthapura and was looking forward to establishing himself in the Kannada Film Industry. Other than an actor, he was also a fitness trainer. 

Shocked by the news of Susheel Gowda's death, Duniya Vijay wrote on Facebook (translated), "When I first saw him I thought he is a hero material. Even before the movie got released he has left us too soon. Whatever may be the problem suicide is not the answer. I think the series of deaths will not end this year. It is not only because of Coronavirus people fear, people are losing faith because they don’t have job which can give them the money to lead a life. It is high time to stay stronger to overcome the crisis."

Susheel Gowda has played the role of a cop in the upcoming film Salaga. It stars Duniya Vijay in the leading role.

Susheel's co-star Amita Ranganath said, "I got the news from my friend. I still can’t believe that he is no more. He was such a sweet and soft hearted person who never loses his cool. It’s been very sad to know that he has left us so early. He had the talent to achieve more in the entertainment industry.” 

Director of the serial Anthpura, Aravind Koushik on his face book page posted "Sad news I heard . Susheel Gowda who played the lead in the tv serial Antahpura that I directed is no more . Rest in Peace."

She also shared a picture with Susheel on her Instagram story and expressed her grief.

Chennai, July 25: A widow living alone in her apartment in Chennai city suburbs has filed a police complaint against ABVP national president Dr Subbiah Shanmugam, accusing him of harassment, including urinating and throwing used surgical masks at her doorstep.

Shockingly, no action has been taken so far by the police, even though the complaint against Dr Shanmugam, who is in government service, was filed on July 11 at the Adambakkam Police Station here by the widow’s relative Balaji Vijayaraghavan. 

Dr Shanmugam and the 62-year-old widow were living in the same apartment complex in Nanganallur and an argument broke between them over a parking slot. “He wanted to use our parking lot. We agreed but demanded a nominal charge for using it. He was outraged by our demand and even broke our signboard at the parking lot,” Vijayaraghavan wrote in his complaint.

He also alleged that Dr Shanmugam began harassing her by throwing “pieces of chicken” outside her apartment despite knowing she is a vegetarian. Vijayaraghavan also alleged in his two-page written complaint that the ABVP National President had urinated outside the woman’s apartment gate and had been throwing garbage and used masks at her gate.

The 62-year-old woman has been living alone in her apartment for the last year following her husband’s death. In his complaint, Vijayaraghavan also said the family was “concerned about her safety”, while asking police to take action against Dr Shanmugam, who he says, “has a bad track record in maintaining rapport with neighbours.”

CCTV footage corroborates with the allegations of urinating outside the residence of the widow. However, the ABVP claimed the incident as a “malicious and derogatory propaganda” by the Congress’ student wing of NSUI.
