In Maharashtra’s Akola a young 15-year-old Muslim child named Altamash has committed suicide after he was reportedly beaten, humiliated and abused by his school principal and teachers on account of his being a Muslim. As per a report, the family of Altamash has claimed that there were two teachers who would regularly and consistently beat him and psychologically abuse him.

The distraught father of the child, who studied at Guru Nanak Vidhyalaya, spoke to the media stating that his child had been fine. “It was only after he was humiliated in school by his teachers and principal that he was extremely disturbed and took the step to kill himself. Yesterday, the principal and teacher beat him and humiliated a lot that made him depressed. He returned home from school, went to tuition, and did his homework, after which he killed himself.”

The father says the child told them of the humiliating words his teachers told him and how deeply they impacted the young child, “The teachers words have been stuck in his head. The teachers have said, ‘I will kick you out of school, give you TC (transfer certificate). You Muslims students are harmful. Muslim’s children are not worthy of studying.” The parent has asked the authorities to ensure that the culprits are strictly punished after strict enquiry. According to Navbharat News, the Khadaan police have filed a case of suicide and that they will examine the CCTV footage from the school.

Bahraich: Muslim residents of Khair village in Bahraich district of Uttar Pradesh have fled after the police booked close to 200 people of their community under UAPA. 19 people were arrested and an FIR was lodged in connection with a clash on Oct 20 following a religious procession.
 
The police have arrested 19 people from Khair and claimed to have identified 52 others. Police officials, however, now claim the UAPA was invoked wrongly, and that they will drop it from the FIR.
 
Sabrang India had reported how an FIR was filed by a member of the Durga Puja procession Ashish Kumar Shukla. It was alleged that on 20th October 2018, a procession from a few villages for the immersion of a Durga idol turned violent at Khaira Bazar. Reports suggest that 40 Muslim are in police custody including those who have not been named in the FIR.
 
“Those 80 Muslims along with 100-200 others were hiding on the way of the procession and when it was passing through the Khaira village on way to Badnapur for immersion, they attacked it,” Shukla had said. The complainant claimed in the FIR that the attackers were armed with guns, pistols, bombs and swords and some 50 people were injured.
 
The village borders Nepal. Heavy police force including PAC has been deployed in Khair, and shops are closed. The village bears a deserted look, with most of the houses locked. The other houses are inhabited by the elderly, women and children. Many who have stayed back allege harassment by the police.
 
“There was a clash between Muslims and Hindus, but police registered FIR only against us. No FIR was lodged against people in the procession who engaged in brick-batting and attacked our houses and shops. Police are harassing us,” alleged 63-year-old Jaituna in a report by Indian Express. “All youths left home after the police started raiding our houses. Those who were found were arrested. My sons Ramzan Ali (30) and Nankau (28) are in jail,” says Jaituna, who is left with two daughters-in-law and 10 grandchildren.
 
The report added that those who have fled include former village head Mohammad Rasheed (45) and head cleric of Jama Masjid at Khair Bazaar, Hafiz Abdul Bari (43). “Rasheed’s family too has left. Police broke their doors and windows when women and children were inside,” says Mohammad Hasan, a neighbour. Farmer Karamatullah (55) says, “When the procession reached near Jama Masjid, some persons in the procession threw gulal on Muslims on the roadside. The latter objected, and a heated argument took place. But people intervened and the matter was resolved. Then some members in the procession again threw gulal inside the masjid, which led to an altercation. Both groups clashed.”
 
Additional Superintendent of Police, Bahraich, Ravindra Kumar Singh, in the report said, “So far, 71 Muslim youths have been identified as being involved in the clash. It was confirmed after scanning eight videos from locals. So far, 19 accused have been arrested.”
 
On why there is no FIR against the other group (Hindus), he said, “We have no evidence that two groups clashed. In the videos, people in the procession are only seen chanting ‘Jai Shri Ram’ and not being involved in violence.”
 
He adds that UAPA had been wrongly been invoked, and they are probing how this happened. “We are now invoking Criminal Law Amendment Act,” he said in the report.
 
Sabrang India had reported that Human rights groups Rihai Manch and NCHRO (National Confederation of Human Rights Organizations), whose joint delegation visited the area on October 28, found the enaction of Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA)-1967 and other laws unnecessary in this case and poke many holes in the FIR. They claimed that the complaint was prepared even before the incident took place. Rihai Manch stated that this whole incident was concocted to show Muslims as anti-national and terrorists.

आजमगढ़ के गावं नदवा सराय के रहने वाले कमांडर दानिश खान कल सीमा की हिफाज़त करते वक्त दुश्मन की गोली से शहीद हो गया। देश की सुरक्षा और अपनी जिम्मेदारी को निभाते हुए दानिश की जान गई।

दानिश की अभी हाल ही में शादी हुई थी। उनकी शादी को अभी एक साल भी पूरा नहीं बीता था। इसी साल 26 फरवरी को दानिश का निकाह हुआ था। देश की जिम्मेदारी की कसमें खाकर लौटा रज़ीजुद्दीन उर्फ दानिश को क्या पता था कि इतने कम समय में उसे इस मिट्टी की हिफाजत करते हुए शहीद होना पड़ेगा।

सिर्फ यही नहीं दानिश ने अपनी शादी से पहले अपनी बहन की भी शादी की। कमांडर दानिश खान आजमगढ़ के नदवा सराय कस्बे में रहते थे। जिस आंगन को 9 महिने पहले खुशी मिली थी वह आंगन आज ग़म में बैचेन है। कंमाडर दानिश देश की मिट्टी की हिफाजत करने में शहीद हो गए। 

सलीम जावेद लिखते हैं..
मेरे शहर से तीन किलोमीटर के फासले पर एक छोटा सा गाँव है, जिसका नाम 'नदवा सराय' है। जो मऊनाथ भंजन आज़मगढ़ में आता है। उसी मिटटी का एक लाल कश्मीर बॉर्डर पर कल शहीद हो गया, जिसकी पहचान 'रज़ीउद्दीन खान दानिश' नाम से है। यह उसी मिटटी का लाल है जिसे प्रधानमंत्री जी के मंत्री आतँकगढ़ के नाम से पुकारते हैं, उसी मिटटी का एक लाल देश के लिए क़ुर्बान हो गया। 
 
मीडिया चुप है, शायद शहीदों के अंदर भी धर्म ढूंढा जा रहा है। रज़ीउद्दीन, आज तुमने एक ऐसे मिटटी का नाम रौशन किया है, जिसके माथे पर आतंक का लेबल लगाया जाता रहा है। गर्व से सीना चौड़ा हो रहा है। इतना गर्व हमें तुम पर है तो सोच रहा हूँ तुम्हारे मां-बाप को तुम पर कितना नाज़ होगा।
 
देश में इस वक्त जो हालत हैं और जिस तरह मुस्लिम टारगेट किए जा रहें हैं वहां दानिश कि शहादत को कैसे लिया जाएगा यह देखना होगा। यह इसलिए भी कि आपको लश्कर से मुठभेड़ के दौरान शहीद हुए वीर सिंह तो याद होंगे। जिनकी चिता जलाने के लिए गाँव वालों ने ज़मीन देने से इनकार कर दिया था क्योंकि वीर सिंह की एक जाति थी। मृत शरीर कई घंटे तक पड़ा रहा। प्रशासन के हस्तक्षेप के बाद, सड़क किनारे दाह संस्कार हुआ।
