College principal says Hadiya can’t meet husband, she claims “I am not free”
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Hadiya says the authorities at the college where she has been sent by the Supreme Court to finish her homeopathy studies have no clarity on the court’s order
“I want freedom”. This is what Hadiya aka Akhila Asokan had told the Supreme Court on Monday which had then decided to send her to the Sivaraj Homeopathic Medical College in Tamil Nadu’s Salem so that she can finish her studies.
But as Hadiya, the woman around whom the raging Kerala Love Jihad case revolves, reached Salem, she claimed she was “not free” and that she feared that her college would be “another prison”.
The statements by Hadiya, who for a better part of this year had been under “house arrest” at the residence of her father Asokan – the man who called her husband Shafin Jahan a terrorist and accused him of executing love jihad against her daughter – came even as the principal of the Sivaraj Homeopathic Medical College made it clear that he “would not allow her to meet anyone except her parents”.[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]JTNDYmxvY2txdW90ZSUyMGNsYXNzJTNEJTIydHdpdHRlci10d2VldCUyMiUyMGRhdGEtY29udmVyc2F0aW9uJTNEJTIybm9uZSUyMiUyMGRhdGEtbGFuZyUzRCUyMmVuJTIyJTNFJTNDcCUyMGxhbmclM0QlMjJlbiUyMiUyMGRpciUzRCUyMmx0ciUyMiUzRU5vJTIwSSUyMHdpbGwlMjBub3QlMjBhbGxvdyUyMGFueW9uZSUyMHRvJTIwbWVldCUyMCUzQ2ElMjBocmVmJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZ0d2l0dGVyLmNvbSUyRmhhc2h0YWclMkZIYWRpeWElM0ZzcmMlM0RoYXNoJTI2YW1wJTNCcmVmX3NyYyUzRHR3c3JjJTI1NUV0ZnclMjIlM0UlMjNIYWRpeWElM0MlMkZhJTNFJTJDJTIwb25seSUyMGhlciUyMHBhcmVudHMlMjBjYW4lMjBtZWV0JTIwaGVyJTNBJTIwRHIuJTIwRyUyMEthbm5hbiUyQyUyMFByaW5jaXBhbCUyMG9mJTIwU2l2YXJhaiUyMEhvbWVvcGF0aHklMjBDb2xsZWdlJTIwJTNDYSUyMGhyZWYlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnQuY28lMkZFVE1DU1hZRWFYJTIyJTNFcGljLnR3aXR0ZXIuY29tJTJGRVRNQ1NYWUVhWCUzQyUyRmElM0UlM0MlMkZwJTNFJTI2bWRhc2glM0IlMjBBTkklMjAlMjglNDBBTkklMjklMjAlM0NhJTIwaHJlZiUzRCUyMmh0dHBzJTNBJTJGJTJGdHdpdHRlci5jb20lMkZBTkklMkZzdGF0dXMlMkY5MzU1MTk3MDgxNDg3Njg3NjglM0ZyZWZfc3JjJTNEdHdzcmMlMjU1RXRmdyUyMiUzRU5vdmVtYmVyJTIwMjglMkMlMjAyMDE3JTNDJTJGYSUzRSUzQyUyRmJsb2NrcXVvdGUlM0UlMEElM0NzY3JpcHQlMjBhc3luYyUyMHNyYyUzRCUyMmh0dHBzJTNBJTJGJTJGcGxhdGZvcm0udHdpdHRlci5jb20lMkZ3aWRnZXRzLmpzJTIyJTIwY2hhcnNldCUzRCUyMnV0Zi04JTIyJTNFJTNDJTJGc2NyaXB0JTNF[/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]Ironically, in her statements made before a Supreme Court Bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices DY Chandrachud and AM Khanwilkar, all that Hadiya wanted was to be reunited with her husband Shafin Jahan and get her freedom – away from the clutches of her parents.
On Wednesday, in Salem as per the apex court’s order where the dean of her college and not her husband will be her ‘guardian, Hadiya spoke at length to mediapersons about her fears and the fact that her request for freedom had gone unheeded.
“I asked for freedom from court. I wanted to meet my husband, but till now the fact is that I am not free and that’s the truth. Till now, I have not got my freedom… I don’t know what’s happening, don’t know if college will be another prison,” the 24-year-old Hadiya told reporters in Salem, where she is now expected to finish the last 11 months of her homeopathy course which she was forced to abandon mid-way after her marriage to Shafin Jahan triggered a national debate and got termed even by the Kerala High Court as a case of ‘love jihad’.[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]JTNDYmxvY2txdW90ZSUyMGNsYXNzJTNEJTIydHdpdHRlci10d2VldCUyMiUyMGRhdGEtbGFuZyUzRCUyMmVuJTIyJTNFJTNDcCUyMGxhbmclM0QlMjJlbiUyMiUyMGRpciUzRCUyMmx0ciUyMiUzRUklMjBhc2tlZCUyMGZvciUyMGZyZWVkb20lMjBmcm9tJTIwY291cnQuJTIwSSUyMHdhbnRlZCUyMHRvJTIwbWVldCUyMG15JTIwaHVzYmFuZCUyMGJ1dCUyMHRoZSUyMGZhY3QlMjBpcyUyMHRoYXQlMjBJJUUyJTgwJTk5bSUyMG5vdCUyMGZyZWUlMjB0aWxsJTIwbm93JTIwYW5kJTIwdGhhdCVFMiU4MCU5OXMlMjB0aGUlMjB0cnV0aCUzQSUyMEhhZGl5YSUyMCUzQ2ElMjBocmVmJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZ0LmNvJTJGaGRZWGRBRmtBbiUyMiUzRXBpYy50d2l0dGVyLmNvbSUyRmhkWVhkQUZrQW4lM0MlMkZhJTNFJTNDJTJGcCUzRSUyNm1kYXNoJTNCJTIwQU5JJTIwJTI4JTQwQU5JJTI5JTIwJTNDYSUyMGhyZWYlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnR3aXR0ZXIuY29tJTJGQU5JJTJGc3RhdHVzJTJGOTM1NzM2ODM4OTc0NzM0MzM2JTNGcmVmX3NyYyUzRHR3c3JjJTI1NUV0ZnclMjIlM0VOb3ZlbWJlciUyMDI5JTJDJTIwMjAxNyUzQyUyRmElM0UlM0MlMkZibG9ja3F1b3RlJTNFJTBBJTNDc2NyaXB0JTIwYXN5bmMlMjBzcmMlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnBsYXRmb3JtLnR3aXR0ZXIuY29tJTJGd2lkZ2V0cy5qcyUyMiUyMGNoYXJzZXQlM0QlMjJ1dGYtOCUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRnNjcmlwdCUzRQ==[/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]Hadiya told reporters that authority concerned at her college “doesn’t have clarity on the court order and procedures” and that “I have to wait for 2-3 days for the college to understand the procedures.”
Although sources in the National Investigation Agency (NIA), which is probing the “love jihad” angle in her marriage with Shafin Jahan say that Monday’s order by the Supreme Court makes no mention of whether or not Hadiya is free to meet her husband, the 24-year-old told reporters that she had not been able to meet Shafin Jahan as yet.
Asserting that “every passing second” is a “big deal for me”, Hadiya told mediapersons that “I want to meet people who I love and like. I haven’t got a chance for that. I demanded freedom from the court. For six months, I was put up with people I hate (her parents) and they are the people who tried to reconvert me (from Islam to Hinduism).”
Hadiya revealed that since her widely publicised appearance in the Supreme Court, she had spoken to her father – who, incidentally still insists that Shafin is a terrorist and that he’ll continue his quest to have Hadiya’s marriage annulled by the top court – but that she “wasn’t able to contact my husband.”[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]The woman in the eye of the Kerala love jihad controversy said: “I am demanding basic rights that any Indian citizen has.

Bihar: 2 die, 3 lose eyesight after consuming spurious liquor in Muzaffarpur
Two people died while three people lost their eyesight in Bihar’s Muzaffarpur after consuming spurious liquor, as per the police.
Two people died while three people lost their eyesight in Bihar’s Muzaffarpur after consuming spurious liquor, as per the police.
Police have received information that two people died after their health suddenly deteriorated. In the prima facie inquiry, it has been told that they both had consumed country-made liquor. We have arrested two people. Further probe underway, the Superintendent of Police Abhishek Dixit said after two people died after allegedly consuming spurious liquor in Muzaffarpur.
According to reports, one of the victims, Dharmendra Ram, has revealed that he consumed spurious alcohol after purchasing from Shiv Chandra Paswan, who generally sells adulterated and low-quality liquor, due to which he lost his eyesight.
He started losing his vision after consuming two glasses of low-quality liquor, which cost him Rs 100.
Police, based on the victim’s statement, have arrested two people. One of the arrested persons is a local resident and has been jailed in the past as well in a liquor-related case.
For interrogation, police have also detained accused Shiv Chandra Paswan’s wife and daughter.
Police confirmed that the deaths and loss of eyesight happened due to the consumption of spurious alcohol.
Earlier this year in April, a shocking case was reported from Bihar’e Motihari district where at least 5 people died after consuming illicitly made liquor while twelve others were rushed to a local hospital in critical condition.
The incident was reported from Laxmipur Village of Motihari district in Bihar. The cases of spurious liquor creating hazardous health problems and death of people in Bihar have been in focus for quite some months now. Earlier in January this year it was reported from Siwan that four people died post consuming the spurious liquor after which the Police arrested 16 people who were involved in the storage and trading of alcohol in the state.
Purchase, sale and trade of liquor stands banned in Bihar since April 2016 after Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar took this move to impose a complete prohibition on the sale and consumption of alcohol in the state.

Mann Ki Baat: PM Modi says India-Middle East-Europe corridor will become future basis of world trade
The India-Middle East-Europe corridor will become the basis of world trade for hundreds of years to come and history will always remember that the corridor was initiated on Indian soil, said PM Modi.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his 105th episode of Mann Ki Baat said that the India-Middle East-Europe corridor will become the basis of world trade for hundreds of years to come and history will always remember that the corridor was initiated on Indian soil.
On September 24 in his monthly Mann Ki Baat, PM Modi also talked about Chandrayaan-3’s success and urged all citizens to participate in the Chandrayaan-3 Mahaquiz, a unique opportunity to learn and celebrate India’s lunar mission. Let’s embark on this cosmic adventure together, he added.
PM Modi said throughout the year, programmes related to G20 were held at numerous universities in the country. Now in this series, another exciting programme is about to take place in Delhi, which is G20 University Connect Programme, he said.
Speaking about World Tourism Day, he said two days from now, 27th September, is World Tourism Day. Some people view tourism just as a means of touring and travelling, but a very big aspect of tourism is related to employment, the Prime Minister further said.
He further talked about temples in Karnataka. PM Modi said a few days ago, that Shantiniketan and the holy Hoysala temple of Karnataka have been declared world heritage sites by UNESCO. He extended his greetings to the countrymen on this feat.
During the G20 Summit in New Delhi, US principal deputy national security advisor Jon Finer announced an unprecedented and ground-breaking infrastructure initiative involving a railway and shipping corridor that will improve trade, energy, and digital connectivity.
Speaking to reporters, Finer drew an indirect but striking comparison between China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the project, saying it will close a significant infrastructure gap and be high-standards, transparent, sustainable, non-coercive and based on the demand signal from the region instead of being an imposition.
BRI is heavily attacked for entangling nations in unmanageable debt, as well as for being opaque, forceful, and sacrificing standards.
Finer claimed that the project is consistent with the greater West Asian agenda of the Joe Biden administration.
