The prayer meeting that evening was hardly the kind of gathering that would suggest an attempt at religious mobilisation. It was being held inside a #Christian family's home to remember a deceased person.
Across #Bengal, Hindutva groups are increasingly sharing videos of confronting and harassing Christian evangelists. @soumomondalep reports.

After the outrage over Kriti Sanon’s outfit in a Raksha Bandhan ad, Godi anchor @sudhirchaudhary unnecessarily and deliberately provokes @KanganaTeam by asking, “Will Kriti wear the same dress on Eid too?”
To this, @KanganaTeam responds, “In that religion (Muslims), they still marry their sisters and cousins...”
Who told you, @KanganaTeam, that Muslims marry their own sisters? Stop targeting Muslims by repeating false and inflammatory RW narratives.
And as far as cousin marriages are concerned, they are not exclusive to Muslims. Cousin marriages are also traditionally practised among many Hindu communities, particularly in southern states such as Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, as well as Puducherry.
We have filed a writ petition before the Rajasthan High Court challenging the non-allotment of AIMIM’s election symbol for the upcoming local body elections in Rajasthan.
The matter was heard today before the Hon’ble Acting Chief Justice, where detailed arguments were presented. The case has now been listed on 31 August for further hearing.
We remain confident in our legal position and hopeful of a favourable outcome, particularly in light of the legal principles laid down by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in similar matters.
AIMIM Rajasthan will continue to fight firmly for its democratic and constitutional rights and for the emergence of a strong Third Political Alternative in Rajasthan.
InshaAllah, justice will prevail.

हैदराबाद के दारुस्सलाम में एक जनसभा के दौरान AIMIM प्रमुख बैरिस्टर असदुद्दीन ओवैसी साहब अपने बेटे, मास्टर सुल्तान सलाहुद्दीन ओवैसी के साथ हल्की-फुल्की बातचीत करते हुए पिता-पुत्र के बीच एक स्नेहपूर्ण पल साझा कर रहे हैं।
Did you know that Sharjeel Imam designed the Qaafiya Dictionary for Rekhta, an online tool for finding rhyming words in Urdu poetry?
Rekhta needed someone who was an expert in Urdu, Persian, and coding, and Sharjeel Imam had expertise in all three.
Yet Rekhta has never publicly acknowledged Sharjeel Imam, despite his significant contributions to the platform.
It’s hypocrisy and Islamophobia. Seriously what harm is a piece of cloth causing you everyone should be allowed to wear whatever the hell they want. How is it freedom and democracy if a court gets to decide what I can and can’t wear?
If you are a Muslim in the wrong place at the wrong time, the Constitution means little and the law can be twisted in any manner to imprison you.

Criminality is irrelevant. It does not matter that you may be a victim, not the perpetrator
@samar11✍️in this piece from 2021
India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has appointed new social media officials, who quickly deleted years of posts, deactivated accounts or went private, raising new scrutiny over their online histories of Islamophobic, misogynistic and casteist remarks.

Ravish Kumar rightly asks Kiren Rijjiju that if government believes that if Sharjeel Imam, Umar Khalid & hundreds of other undetrials are criminals why the trial has not started yet. If the government is sure about their crimes what's stopping them from bringing to the court, start a trial and punish them? Reality is that Imam & others are being kept imprisoned by not starting a trial because even the government knows that there is no evidence against them.

Sikh leader Iman Singh issues a blunt rejection:
The Sikh community will never accept “Vande Mataram” as any kind of national song or obligatory chant.
The song glorifies Hindu goddesses something strictly forbidden in Sikhism, which rejects all deity worship.
AIMIM के प्रदेश अध्यक्ष @imshaukatali साहब ने The Red Ink को दिए एक इंटरव्यू में दावा किया कि अतीक अहमद के बेटे अली अभी भी AIMIM के सदस्य हैं। उन्होंने बताया कि अली की मां शाइस्ता परवीन ने पार्टी छोड़ दी थी, लेकिन अली पार्टी में बने रहे।
शौकत अली साहब के मुताबिक, आबान के जनाज़े के दौरान उनकी अली से मुलाकात हुई थी। इस दौरान अली ने AIMIM के प्रमुख बैरिस्टर असदुद्दीन ओवेसी साहब को सलाम भी कहा था।
It is deeply concerning that Union Minister @KirenRijiju continues to publicly mischaracterise my brother Sharjeel @_imaams speech as a call for the secession of Assam from India. Sharjeel’s case has consistently been that he was speaking of a chakka jam, a road blockade as a form of protest, not cessation or secession from India. These very speeches and their legal interpretation are sub judice, and there is no final judicial finding that Sharjeel advocated secession. At a particularly crucial stage, when arguments on framing of charges in FIR 59/2020 are underway, such categorical public pronouncements by a senior Union Minister risk prejudicing the atmosphere surrounding an ongoing criminal trial and impinge upon Sharjeel’s right to a fair trial. I request Mr. Rijiju to allow the courts to decide the evidence and law, and not defame my brother or prejudge his case for political gain.
Raised in a slum, little formal education, and earning a daily wage selling ice, he speaks with startling clarity on workers’ rights & government accountability. And he has nothing to lose.
