Supreme Court seeks removal of 26 verses from The Holy Quran

 

Demonstrations are also taking place in various parts of India against a petition filed in the Supreme Court by a man named Wasim Rizvi regarding the deletion of 26 verses of the Holy Quran, the holy book of Muslims in India. Muslim religious and political leaders of all faiths have appealed to ordinary Muslims to exercise patience.

Wasim Rizvi, a Khanna resident and former chairman of the Uttar Pradesh Shia Waqf Board, had last week filed a petition in the Supreme Court seeking the removal of 26 verses from the holy book, which he said were "promoting terrorism". They help in giving.

Legal experts, however, termed it as an abuse of the constitutional right of Indian citizens and said that the Supreme Court could severely reprimand the petitioner and sentence him.

Former Registrar General of the Supreme Court Justice Sohail Ijaz Siddiqui said, “The Supreme Court will dismiss this petition at first sight. It is also possible that the Supreme Court will impose heavy fines on Wasim Rizvi for reprimanding him for abusing his constitutional right and may also reprimand him as the whole game is usually to avoid legal entanglement in corruption cases and gain security as a fashion. It is done to do.

Wasim Rizvi has named dozens of Muslim political, social and religious parties, universities and colleges, as well as about a dozen government ministries, government departments and institutions as parties in the case.

Many Muslim leaders in India have said that Wasim Rizvi's attempt to spread sedition in the country should be dealt with severely.

Maulana Rabi Hasni Nadvi, president of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board, the largest organization of Indian Muslims and superintendent of the renowned religious school Nadwat Ulema Lucknow, called on the government to take stern action to stop this 'sedition'. Since then, the feelings of millions of Muslims in India and around the world have been hurt and the country's environment is deteriorating.

Maulana Abul Qasim Nomani, superintendent of Darul Uloom Deoband, a well-known religious institution in the subcontinent, said in a statement that strict legal action should be taken against such elements who try to spread hatred and unrest as such elements go to any lengths to gain cheap fame. Can go up to

Maulana Wasim Rizvi, General Secretary of Majlis Ulema-e-Hind and well-known Shia cleric Maulana Club Jawad Naqvi, said, “Wasim Rizvi is an enemy of Islam and has nothing to do with Shiism because he is a tool of extremist organizations and anti-Islamic organizations. They are being used to incite professional bigotry.

Some quarters say that the petition filed by Wasim Rizvi is a big conspiracy and Wasim Rizvi has been made a tool for it. One of its aims may be to create a new controversy and divert the public's attention from the peasant movement and inflation.

Protests are also taking place in various parts of India against the conflict. Cases have also been registered against Wasim Rizvi in ​​several places. Some people have even put a price on their head on their own.

On the other hand, a section of Hindus has come out in support of Wasim Rizvi. He is being heavily supported on social media and is being called the 'greatest patriot'. In addition, demands have been made to the government for their protection.

Who is Wasim Rizvi?

Wasim Rizvi was made chairman of the Uttar Pradesh Shia Waqf Board during Mayawati's rule. He is also accused of illegally selling waqf lands and embezzling crores of rupees.

After the Mayawati government, when Akhilesh Yadav's Samajwadi Party government was formed in Uttar Pradesh, Wasim Rizvi joined the Samajwadi Party. Then when the Bharatiya Janata Party government led by Yogi Adityanath came to power in this state, Rizvi started making statements against Hindutva and against Muslims. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is probing allegations of corruption amounting to crores of rupees against him.

It should be noted that the Indian Supreme Court has not yet approved the petition for hearing but according to legal experts, the court will reject the petition.

Professor Tahir Mahmood, a former member of the Law Commission of India, said that a similar case was filed in the Kolkata High Court in 1984 against the Holy Quran, which was dismissed by the court in its judgment. Taking notice of the matter would be against the constitution of the country and the plaintiffs have taken the matter to court and committed a crime legally.

Faizan Mustafa said that just as the Indian government had opposed such a petition in the past, he hoped that the Modi government would also oppose the petition.

Wasim Rizvi claims that in connection with the 26 verses of the Qur'an, he had sent a letter to 57 Muslim religious and social parties and institutions in India last January asking for clarification of his questions.

He had also sent letters to about a dozen government agencies, departments and senior officials, including the law ministry, demanding necessary action. But neither the Muslim parties nor the government paid any attention to this, after which Wasim Rizvi took the matter to the Supreme Court.

Law expert Faizan Mustafa says that the first thing is that the Indian Supreme Court will set an example by severely reprimanding people like Wasim Rizvi, but even if the decision to delete the 26 verses was heard, which is very unlikely. Even then, there is no software to erase these verses from the hearts of millions of memorizers in India and around the world.
