Kuwait: Expat Muslims including Indians who held protest against Nupur Sharma in Kuwait City to be arrested and deported

Asian Muslim expats including Indians who staged an agitation against Nupur Sharma in Kuwait City will be arrested and deported to their home countries, Kuwaiti media has reported. The expat Muslims had gathered at the Fahaheel area in Kuwait City in Kuwait on June 10, Friday and held a demonstration against former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma for her comments on Prophet Mohammed. The protestors had chanted slogans against Sharma and in support of Prophet Muhammad during the demonstration.

The Kuwait govt decided to take the action because its national law bars expats to participate in sit-in protests or demonstrations in the country. Holding protests and agitations by foreigners is considered a serious crime in Kuwait. The authorities also aim to set an example, so that in future expats don’t engage in such violations.

On Friday, expat Muslims from various Asian countries including Indians had gathered in Kuwait’s Fahaheel area to protest ‘in support of Prophet Muhammad’ after Friday prayers, according to various media sources. However, perhaps they were unware that they were violating local law by this act, as foreigners are not allowed to indulge in political activities like protests and agitations.

A video of protestors in which 45-50 men can be seen giving the chants of ‘Allahu-Akbar’ and “La Ilaha Illallah” was widely shared on social media. The protestors were later removed from the spot. A large police force in riot gear had arrived at the protest area and the agitators were taken away in trucks.

Reportedly, the authorities have started to identify and arrest those foreigners who had participated in the protest. Their visas will be cancelled, they will sent to a deportation centre from where they will be deported to their native countries. A probe has also been launched to find who had organised the protest.

The protesters will be not just deported, but they may also be banned for life by Kuwait. According to Al Rai newspaper, the authorities have decided not to allow them to return to Kuwait in any further arrangements in future.

The Kuwait govt will also take appropriate actions against locals who were part of the demonstration. While the Kuwaiti govt has issued a statement condemning the comments by Nupur Sharma and had summoned the Indian ambassador to demand an apology from the Indian govt, the govt is of the view that this does not mean that foreigner will be allowed to hold protests violating the country’s laws.

In India, the week saw large-scale agitations, stone peltings and violent demonstrations by Islamic arsonists that saw many cities including Kanpur, Prayagrag and others held on a rampage. Meanwhile, suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma continues to receive death and rape threats, with her effigy openly hanged in Karnataka’s Belgavi – all for quoting hadiths during a TV debate, that sparked the Islamist row.

West Bengal: Mob attacks car with stones and sticks, police watch as mute spectators

Amidst the ongoing violence in West Bengal, an undated video of a frenzied mob attacking a car has surfaced on social media.

As per reports, the incident took place in the Rajarhat locality of Kolkata. Rioters, armed with stones and dressed in skull caps, gheraoed a red car from all sides. The car was moving but it stopped on the side of the road after the mob started pelting stones at it, breaking the front passenger window. After the vehicle stopped, the mob continued to pelt stones at the vehicle and broke the remaining glass windows. Meanwhile, other rioters hit the bonnet of the car with sticks.

With absolutely no concern about the safety of the individuals trapped inside the vehicle, the rioters continue with their onslaught. Two police officers, dressed in khaki, could be seen in the viral video.

Instead of trying to pacify the situation or disperse the crowd and protect the people inside the car, the cops become part of the mob and watch the carnage unfold in silence.

Sreyashi Dey, Assistant Editor at The Print, informed that posters and cutouts, calling for the death penalty of ex-BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma, could be spotted in the same Rajarhat locality of Kolkata.

Islamists unleash an orgy of violence in West Bengal

On Thursday (June 9), a mob of frenzied protestors blocked the National Highway connecting Howrah and Kolkata, thereby resulting in traffic woes and public inconvenience. The protestors, dressed in skull caps and lungi, created a ruckus on NH116.

They yelled Islamist slogans and burnt tyres. In videos that have now surfaced on social media, dark smoke could be seen engulfing the skies. Reportedly, the blockade began from Nibra (Kona Expressway-NH16 junction) at around 10:30 am and ended at 9:30 pm.

Located at about 12 km from the second Howrah bridge, it extended up to the AJC Bose Road in Kolkata.Instead of acting against the mob that had brought traffic to a near halt in Howrah, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee asked them to disrupt public life in other states instead.

On Friday (June 10), the Islamists disrupted the vehicular movement in the Park Circus area in Kolkata. Following the Friday prayers (Jumma Namaz), Islamists began gathering on the road and demonstrating against the remarks made by BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma. 

Similar scenes were seen in Kolkata’s twin city Howrah, where Muslim mobs resorted to violence and vandalism. They burnt down vehicles and police booths during the violent protests.

On the same night, a frenzied mob of Muslim men ambushed the Beladanga police station in the Murshidabad district of West Bengal. As per reports, they hurled stones and bricks at the police station and demanded the arrest of a Hindu girl named Aishwani, who had asked rioters in the State to migrate to nearby Islamic countries.

Forced by circumstances, the cops had to fire tear gas shells to disperse the violent mob and pacify the situation. The girl was subsequently detained by the police.

Goons attack the woman who had accused Rajasthan minister Mahesh Joshi’s son of rape, ask her to withdraw the case

The rape case against the son of Mahesh Joshi, a minister in the Ashok Gehlot government in Rajasthan, has taken a new turn. The victim has alleged that on Saturday (11th June 2022) night, some goons tried to kill her and threw a blue liquid on her face and hand.

The victim told that she was attacked by two youths while she was walking with her mother in southeast Delhi. The goons attacking her said, “Won’t you listen? Why you are not withdrawing the case?” The victim had feared an attack and asked for protection earlier as well.

Police have registered a case under sections 195 A (threatening any person to give false evidence), 506 (criminal intimidation), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), and 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code and started the investigation. The woman was taken to the AIIMS trauma center after the attack for her medical examination.

An FIR was lodged by the woman against Rohit Joshi under several serious sections including rape in Delhi’s Sadar Bazar police station. Rohit Joshi is the son of Mahesh Joshi who is the water supply minister in the Ashok Gehlot government in Rajasthan. The victim woman works for a Rajasthan-based news channel.

The girl has stated in her complaint that Rohit attacked her and forced her to get an abortion when she became pregnant. The victim stated in her police complaint that the accused raped her multiple times in Jaipur and Delhi. In addition, the victim has reported rape and unnatural sex with her in Delhi.

Rohit and the girl had been Facebook friends for almost two years, according to the girl. As per the complaint, on January 8, 2021, Rohit drove her to his friend’s residence in Sawai Madhopur where Rohit raped her after forcing her to consume psychoactive substances. When she became unconscious, Rohit filmed and photographed her naked. 

The complainant says when she became pregnant, Rohit coerced her into having an abortion, as per the complaint. The girl claimed that on August 12, 2021, Rohit summoned her to his friend Ajay Yadav’s workplace and assaulted her during a conversation. After that, on September 3-4, Rohit brought her to a Delhi hotel and raped her. After that, on April 17, 2022, raped her again.

According to the FIR, Rohit repeatedly threatened the victim in the name of his father. Rohit further stated that he has had contacts with miscreants and the mafia and that he is not frightened of the cops. He warned her about being treated like Bhanwari Devi. The woman claims that the father-son duo poses a threat to her and her family’s lives.

The case was filed on May 8 at a police station in the North District under Indian Penal Code sections 376 (rape), 328 (causing hurt by means of poison, etc. with intent to commit an offense), 312 (causing miscarriage), 366 (kidnapping, abducting, or inducing woman to compel her for marriage, etc), 377 (unnatural offenses), and 506 (criminal intimidation). According to a top Delhi Police officer, the Rajasthan Police has been notified of the FIR and will probe further.

Islamists and ‘liberals’ rally behind Prayagraj riots accused Javed Ahmed, call demolition of illegally constructed house ‘vendetta’

Islamists and ‘liberals’ have now flocked to the defence of Javed Ahmed, the alleged mastermind of the Prayagraj riots, whose unlawfully constructed residence is set to be razed as per the competent authorities’ directives. Self-proclaimed intellectuals and activists like Sharjeel Usmani and Suchitra Vijayan stood up to the defence of Javed Ahmed, who has been arrested by the police over his role in the violence in Prayagraj on Friday.

Sharjeel Usmani resorted to Twitter to defend the riot-accused Ahmed whose unlawfully constructed home is being razed by authorities. Usmani defended the accused in a series of tweets. He even mentioned Javed’s daughter, Afreen Fatima, who has been a JNU student and has periodically defended terrorists.

Usmani characterised the entire investigation and action by the Prayagraj Development Authority as “revenge.” In a tweet, he wrote, “Afreen Fatima and her family is paying a price for who they are. This is dangerously cruel. This is a witch hunt. May Allah have his mercy on all the families who keep the wheels of struggle moving despite huge personal risks. May Allah protect them and all families. Ameen.”

Similarly, ‘intellectual’ Suchitra Vijayan came to Twitter to express her solidarity with Afreen Fatima and Javed Ahmed. Suchitra posted a tweet with the hashtag #StandWithAfreenFatima and a picture urging people to storm Twitter with additional hashtags such as #MuslimLivesMatter.

Rana Ayyub, a Washington Post columnist accused of financial fraud, also joined in to defend the family accused of instigating riots. Rana employed the same strategy to play the victim when wrongdoing is unearthed. Labeling the action by the authorities as ‘oppression,’ she tweeted, “Another day of Oppression in India. The injustices against #AfreenFatima ; the teenagers who were murdered for protesting, the brazen demolition of houses. Muslims in India are being made to pay for the international outrage.”

Legal demolition of the illegal residence of Javed Ahmed

Javed Ahmed, the accused mastermind of the riots in Prayagraj on June 10th, was detained by the Uttar Pradesh Police. On June 10, the Prayagraj Development Authority served him a notice to abandon the premises of his illegally constructed residence by 11 AM on June 12.

The notice was issued by the zonal officer of the Prayagraj Development Authority. According to the notice, the property in the Kareli Police Station area was erected illegally and without the consent of the competent authorities. A show-cause notice was issued in this regard on May 10 of this year.

As per the notice, Javed Ahmed failed to appear before the authority, thus the authority issued orders on May 25 for the house to be self-demolished by June 9th. However, the authority discovered that the orders had not been observed and that the house had not been demolished, thereafter the authority issued this notice to evacuate the premises by June 12.

Kanpur Violence: Another key conspirator arrested, former SP leader Nizam Qureshi was absconding for 8 days

The second mastermind of the Kanpur violence, Nizam Qureshi, has been arrested by the SIT. Nizam Qureshi is a former SP leader. Earlier, prime accused in the case, Islamic leader Hayat Zafar Hashmi was arrested by the police. The police are likely to confront Hayat Zafar Hashmi and Nizam Qureshi over their roles in instigating the riots. More information about the riots can be revealed through their face-to-face confrontation.

Nizam Qureshi was absconding since the violence. He was dodging the police for the past 8 days. The SIT team was constantly trying to arrest Nizam Qureshi. On Saturday, the SIT team arrested him from Beckonganj.

Who is Nizam Qureshi?

According to a report by Navbharat Times, Nizam Qureshi, accused of the Kanpur Violence, has a strong political connection as he has been City level secretary of the Samajwadi Party. He also happens to be the district-level president of the All India Jamiyatul Qureshi Action Committee. On 22nd May 2022, Dr. Imran – the city president of the Samajwadi Party – expelled Nizam Qureshi from the party, citing that he is not showing a keen interest in the party initiatives. Nizam Qureshi has a stronghold in the local body of the Samajwadi Party as well as the Muslim community living in Kanpur.

A WhatsApp group named ‘Team Nizam Qureshi’ was found active on his phone. Screenshots of the chat from the very group had gone viral, which revealed that Kanpur Violence was a well-planned attempt to disturb the harmony of the city. Three MLAs of the Samajwadi Party were admins of this group. Samajwadi Party’s city president Dr. Imran was also a member of that group. But all of them have exited the group after the Kanpur Violence.

Economic boycott of Hindu businesses

The chat from Nizam Qureshi’s phone revealed that an appeal was made to the local Muslims to buy all their daily needs from the shops owned by Muslims and that they should always observe a complete economic boycott of the Hindu businesses. Dayaram Sweet House, Bansilala General Stores, Gupta Coolers, F=Sumit’s Fruit Shop, etc. were among the major names mentioned in that chat. Besides, the chat contained many other provocative things.

The Kanpur police are further investigating this case and they are interrogating Nizam Qureshi. Nizam Qureshi has close links with Hayat Zafar Hashmi, the mastermind of the Kanpur violence. Nizam Qureshi had called a meeting for the market closure on June 1, in which an appeal was made for a market closure on Friday, June 3. This was being done in protest against Nupur Sharma’s controversial remarks about the Prophet Muhammad Nizam Qureshi was also present there on 3rd June 2022, when the shutdown calls were being made that caused the subsequent riots. After his name appeared in the FIr, he went absconding.

Hayat Zafar Hashmi is already arrested

Kanpur violence mastermind Hayat Zafar Hashmi is on police remand for two days. At the same time, the police arrested the second mastermind. The police are also likely to confront Hayat Zafar Hashmi and Nizam Qureshi so that more details can be revealed. On Friday, June 3, there was a clash in the name of a market shutdown in the Yatimkhana area under the Beckonganj police station. There was heavy stone-pelting between the two sides, in which dozens of vehicles were damaged. At the same time, many policemen and passersby were also injured. The Kanpur violence was instigated in a planned manner. The police have got strong evidence of WhatsApp chats.

United States: Partially nude transsexual twerks in front of underage children during Pride March

On Saturday (June 11), a transsexual woman resorted to sexually inappropriate behaviour in front of minor children during a Pride Parade in Washington DC, USA.

The event, organized by Marriott International, was supposedly meant to acknowledge the evolution of the LGBTQ+ neighbourhoods in the US Capital. Considered to be one of the largest parades, the event witnessed the presence of both adolescent and pre-pubescent children.

During a march by European Union staff and supporters, the transsexual woman displayed his breasts in full public glare. He also twerked his hips as the frenzied crowd cheered in unison.

This was despite knowing that a large number of children had come to attend the event. With a sign that read ‘Sex work’, the semi-nude transsexual was also spotted twerking for the bystanders and entertaining them.

The sign, carried by him, also bore the name of Mary Magdalene (one of Jesus’ followers and a witness to his crucifixion and resurrection). He was also seen carrying a trolley during the 1.5 km-long parade.

The event continued between 3 pm to 7:30 pm at Logan and Dupont Circle neighbourhoods in Washington, DC. The contentious videos went viral when journalist Andy Ngo drew the attention of his followers to the disturbing trend of exposing underage children to sexual behaviour.

Last year, US shot putter Raven Saunders courted controversy for twerking in front of the camera to celebrate her silver medal in the Tokyo Olympic Games.

Needless to say, Saunder’s twerking created quite a flutter on the internet, with reactions pouring in from a large number of social media users. One user was sardonic in criticising Saunders for twerking on camera.

In a sarcastic jibe, the user said “nothing screams oppression better than multicoloured hair guy twerking on live TV”. Another concerned American on Twitter remarked that twerking on live TV in a country that clucks over chewing food in public has made the United States a laughing stock.

Kejriwal Logic: More students in govt schools in Delhi is good, but more students in govt schools in Himachal is bad

Kejriwal Logic: More students in govt schools in Delhi is good, but more students in govt schools in Himachal is bad

Aam Aadmi Party keeps claiming that they have revolutionised public sector health care and education in Delhi. While they cite Mohalla Clinics as examples of world-class public health system, the AAP leaders and Delhi ministers including CM Arvind Kejriwal claim that they have improved the government schools so much that people are moving their children from private schools to government schools.

Arvind Kejriwal and other AAP leaders have claimed that enrolment in government schools in Delhi is going up, and it is proof of improvement of the government schools.

However, it seems this logic applies only in Delhi, because as per same Delhi CM, while more students in government schools in Delhi indicates improvement of govt schools, more students in government schools in other states do not prove that. Instead, in other states like Himachal Pradesh it is a proof of poor economic condition of people.

Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal made such a claim in Himachal Pradesh’s Hamirpur on Saturday, where he made a correlation between children attending government schools and poverty in the state. In a political rally, Kejriwal claimed that as most students attend government schools in Himachal, it indicates poverty in the state.

On Saturday, Kejriwal was speaking at a political rally in Hamirpur titled ‘Shiksha Samvad’ that focused on the state of primary education in Himachal Pradesh. During his address, he expressed his concern over the large number of children going to government schools in the state. He said, “I have some data collected from the internet. How many of you send your children to government schools and to private schools?” Kejriwal asked for a show of hands.

“According to data, 14 lakh students attend schools and out of them, 8.5 lakh go to government schools while 5.5 lakh go to private schools. If so many children go to government schools, which accords to nearly 70-80% of them going to government schools. This means that there is so much poverty in Himachal Pradesh, that people cannot even…The state of government schools is so abysmal. When a man earns two bucks extra, he wishes to send his children to private schools, right?” said Kejriwal.

The Delhi CM also conveniently used wrong calculations show that more students in Himachal go to govt schools. He said that among 14 lakh students, 8.5 lakh study at govt schools, which means 70-80% children attend government schoold.

8.5 lakh in 14 lakh is 60%, not 70-80% as claimed by Arvind Kejriwal. He deliberately mentioned wrong numbers knowing that most people will not bother to do the calculation themselves.

Kejriwal said that while every parent desires the best quality of education for his children, it is only at a time of apathy that he sends his children to government schools. This is at a time when the Delhi CM could be seen boasting about children in Delhi switching to government schools on a regular basis.

Earlier this year, Delhi’s Deputy CM Manish Sisodia claimed that the number of students going to Delhi government schools has risen by 21%. While AAP leaders including Kejriwal think of students going to government schools in Delhi as laudatory, doing so in Himachal Pradesh makes them poor. This strange display of elitism coupled with regionalism was also called by many netizens when the part of Kejriwal’s tweet went viral.

While Kejriwal has kickstarted AAP’s campaign for the Himachal Pradesh Assembly elections, which are to be held later this year, he has found himself on a sticky wicket in his debut speech on education.

Gujarat: Illegal construction near a dargah sparks communal clash in Borsad, 4 policemen among the injured in the stone-pelting

According to reports, several people were injured including four police personnel in a communal conflict Friday night in Borsad town in the Anand district of Gujarat. An attack on a person in the Hanuman mandir — Ahmed shah party plot area sparked the unrest.

During the ruckus, CCTV cameras near a Jain temple were also broken. Police have apprehended 14 suspects. Stone pelting began at about 1 AM and lasted for two hours in the Brahmanwada region.

Police used tear gas cells to disperse the crowd and the situation was eventually brought under control. Meanwhile, two companies of the State Reserve Police Force and 200 police officers have been deployed, commanded by District Superintendent of Police Ajit Raijan.

According to Dipak Patel, head of the BJP Borsad committee, the violence occurred as police sought to stop illegal construction on local municipality land near a Hanuman temple. A dargah is next to the municipality-owned open space behind the temple. Patel said that the minority community group had commenced construction on municipal property, which had been brought to the authorities’ attention.

He claimed that when the cops commanded them to stop, the mob attacked them. The incident subsequently evolved into a group confrontation between two communities, according to Patel, and spread to other areas such as Brahmawada, Gandhi Pol, Chokshi Pol, and two other localities. According to police, 50 tear gas rounds and 30 rubber bullets were shot to pacify the aggressive rioters.

IANS quoted Ahmedabad Range Inspector General V. Chandrasekhar as saying, “Rumours were making rounds that a group of the minority community in Borsad was cornered, because of which large group of the community took to the streets and started pelting stones on police and police vehicles.” Police have detained a few people, and their involvement in the violence is being investigated, according to Chandrasekhar.

‘Your CM’s chair is alms of the Muslims’: Islamic cleric reminds Mamata Banerjee of her vote bank during violence protests over ‘blasphemy’

‘Your CM’s chair is alms of the Muslims’: Islamic cleric reminds Mamata Banerjee of her vote bank during violence protests over ‘blasphemy’

West Bengal saw large scale violent protests by Muslims against the comments of Prophet Mohammed by Nupur Sharma for the last three days. While police had been largely unable to contain the mobs, CM Mamata Banerjee on Thursday had appealed the agitated Muslims to not protest in the state, but hold protests in Delhi instead. However, some Islamists were not happy with this appeal, and they reminded how TMC won the elections with the help of Muslim votes.

Following the Jumma Namaz on Friday (June 10), an Islamic cleric was seen reminding the West Bengal Chief Minister of the role played by the Muslims in electing her to the Office of the Chief Minister. “I want to tell Mamata Banerjee that you are sitting on the Chief Minister’s seat because of the alms the Muslims,” the cleric was heard as saying.

“The vote of the Muslim community turned out to be a saviour for you else you remember how Suvendu Adhikari had dented your political campaign,” he further emphasised, reminding that Mamata Banerjee had lost the assembly election, and she had to win a byelection later to continue as CM.

“This is not an insult to the Chief Minister but a description of the reality. When everyone has the right to free speech, then, why not this right be extended to the Imam (cleric) of the masjid?” he asked. The development came hours before Islamists blocked highways and railway tracks to protest against the comments of Nupur Sharma on the Prophet Muhammad.

Mamata Banerjee has been accused of Muslim appeasement

After just a year in office, the West Bengal government under Mamata Banerjee introduced the scheme of honorarium for Muslim clerics and muezzins.

In a notification released on April 19, 2012, by the Department of Minority Affairs and Madrasah Education, the government announced, “The District Magistrate will also requisition funds for a period of 2(TWO) months, initially, on the basis of the number of imams of the District @ Rs. 2500/- per IMAM per month.”

However, in February 2016, the Imams demanded a 100% hike in their monthly honorarium from ₹2500 to ₹5000. The agitation was led by All Bengal Imam Muezzin Council, which also demanded an increase in the honorarium of muezzins from ₹1000 to ₹2000.

While speaking about their matter, Secretary Maulana Akhter Hossain said, “We had presented a deputation with our demands comprising a revision of honorarium of imams, health facilities for their families, and education for their children.”

8 years after the honorarium scheme for Imams and Muezzins came into force, Mamata Banerjee announced an honorarium for Hindu priests in September 2020. It is important to mention that the number of beneficiaries was just 8000, compared that to 55,000 Imams.

Moreover, their pay was a nominal ₹1000 per month, which was ₹1500 less than that of Imams. The move was seen as an attempt to draw Hindu voters after BJP began making inroads in the State.

Islamists hold the State of West Bengal to ransom

On Thursday (June 9), a mob of frenzied protestors blocked the National Highway connecting Howrah and Kolkata, thereby resulting in traffic woes and public inconvenience. The demonstration comes days after the BJP suspended its spokesperson Nupur Sharma over alleged ‘blasphemous’ remarks against Prophet Muhammad.

The protestors, dressed in skull caps and lungi, created a ruckus on NH116. They yelled Islamist slogans and burnt tyres. In videos that have now surfaced on social media, dark smoke could be seen engulfing the skies.

Reportedly, the blockade began from Nibra (Kona Expressway-NH16 junction) at around 10:30 am and ended at 9:30 pm. Located at about 12 km from the second Howrah bridge, it extended up to the AJC Bose Road in Kolkata.

Instead of acting against the mob that had brought traffic to a near halt in Howrah, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee asked them to disrupt public life in other states instead.

She remarked, “Why should we suffer due to communal politics of some with an aim for narrow political gains? Go protest in UP, Gujarat…states where BJP is in power. But they are not in power in Bengal, so don’t do this for publicity in here.”

On Friday (June 10), the Islamists disrupted the vehicular movement in the Park Circus area in Kolkata. Following the Friday prayers (Jumma Namaz), Islamists began gathering on the road and demonstrating against the remarks made by BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma. 

Similar scenes were seen in Kolkata’s twin city Howrah, where Muslim mobs resorted to violence and vandalism. They burnt down vehicles and police booths during the violent protests.

Prayagraj authorities issue notice to demolish illegal house of violence mastermind Javed Ahmed, daughter is a close aide of Shaheen Bagh mastermind Sharjeel Imam

The Prayagraj Development Authority (PDA) has issued notice that they will be demolishing the illegally constructed house of the Prayagraj violence mastermind Javed Ahmed today. The authority had issued a notice on June 10 to vacate the premises of his unlawfully constructed house by 11 AM today. The Uttar Pradesh Police apprehended Javed Ahmed, the suspected mastermind of the rioting in Prayagraj during the Friday Namaz on June 10th. However, at the time of publishing of this report, there seems to be delay in demolition.

The notice was issued by the zonal officer of the Prayagraj Development Authority on June 10, asking to vacate the illegal premises till June 12. As per the notice, the house in the Kareli Police Station area was built unlawfully and without approval from the competent authorities. On May 10 of this year, a show-cause notice was issued in this respect, with the date of hearing set for May 25.

According to the notice, Javed Ahmed did not appear before the authority, thus the authority issued orders to self-demolish the house by June 9th. However, the authority discovered that the instructions were not followed and that the home was not demolished, therefore the authority issued this notice to evacuate the premises by June 12 in order to raze the property.

Javed was apprehended following the unrest in Prayagraj that erupted after the Friday prayers. Javed and other anti-social elements, it appears, exploited children to throw stones at police and administration. SSP Prayagraj previously stated that Javed Ahmed’s daughter, a student in Delhi, is also involved in similar activities.

Afreen Fatima, daughter of Javed Ahmed

Afreen Fatima, a Jawaharlal Nehru University student, is Javed Ahmed’s daughter. Afreen Fatima said hateful things against the government and the Supreme Court in a video that went popular on social media in January 2020. She questioned the country’s top judicial body’s credibility by questioning key rulings such as the Ram Mandir verdict and the hanging of terrorist Afzal Guru.

The JNU student attempted to incite the audience in a 45-second video posted on Twitter by user @knewschannel by claiming that while demonstrating against CAA and NRC, they realised that neither the government nor the Supreme Court is worthy of their faith.

In February, she took to Twitter and shared an article in favour of terrorist Afzal Guru. She is a close associate of the suspected anti-Hindu Delhi riots accused and Shaheen Bagh mastermind Sharjeel Imam. 

Fatima also asked Muslims to target Congress MP Shashi Tharoor for his remarks on the communalization of anti-CAA protests. On January 12, 2020, Fatima took to Twitter and invited Muslims to confront Tharoor, whom she branded an “Islamophobe,” with La Illaha Illallah shouts.
