Himanta Biswa Sarma

Himanta Biswa Sarma said, โ€œHindus are very peace-loving and do not believe in Love Jihadโ€

New Delhi: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said that Hindus do not participate in riots, nor do they believe in Jihad. He said calling Hindus โ€œriotersโ€ is wrong.

In an interview with NDTV, he said, โ€œI am against those who indulge in riots and generally Hindus do not participate in riots. Hindus as a community do not believe in Jihad.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on November 25 said that the Narendra Modi government in Gujarat established peace in the state and โ€œtaught a lessonโ€ to the anti-social elements or rioters in 2002.

According to the Union Home Minister, earlier incidents of riots and violence were common in Gujarat as the Congress party encouraged it.

On this Himanta Biswa Sarma said Shahโ€™s statement on the 2002 riots is โ€˜factualโ€™. He said, โ€œAfter 2002, the Gujarat government brought peace in the state. Took several actions to keep. There is permanent peace in Gujarat. Now there is no curfew.โ€

He added, โ€œGujarat has seen unprecedented development after the 2002 Godhra riots as the Gujarat government has dealt with communal elements firmly.โ€

Speaking of the Godhra incident, Himanta said, โ€œJudiciary will decide what happened in Godhra in Gujarat, I have nothing to do. I am talking about the Hindu community. The Hindu community is very peace-loving. No Hindu believes in Jihad.โ€

When questioned about the Shraddha murder case he said, that it is appeasement politics for some people. We are concerned about the safety of women. He said, โ€œI see it (ignoring love jihad) as a politics of appeasement by some. It is a concern for the security of women. There is evidence of love jihad. Even in Aaftab Poonawalaโ€™s polygraph test, it is said that he revealed his actions will take him to Jannat. There are reports on it,โ€ Sarma said.

โ€œFor any Left-leaning person, it is a communal remark. But I said this in national sentiment,โ€ he said

ANI

Tihar jail administration has increased the security outside Aaftab Amin Poonawallaโ€™s barrack, as the four-member Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) team reached Tihar for the โ€˜Post-Narco Test Interviewโ€™, as per the Jail authorities

New Delhi: Tihar jail administration has increased the security outside Aaftab Amin Poonawallaโ€™s barrack, as the four-member Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) team reached Tihar for the โ€˜Post-Narco Test Interviewโ€™, as per the Jail authorities.

Reportedly, after the narco analysis test of Aaftab Poonawalla, a four-member team is visiting the Central jail for conducting a โ€˜Post-Narco Test Interviewโ€™. As per information, the Jail Authorities have deployed an additional guard outside Aaftabโ€™s barrack, after the attack on the Jail Van ferrying Aaftab outside the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) in Delhiโ€™s Rohini.

Aftab has been kept at Cell no 15 of Jail No 4 inside the Tihar Jail after a Delhi Court sentenced him to 13 days of judicial custody.

Jail Authority further informed that in view of the danger to Aftab inside the jail, โ€œspecial vigil is being kept around his cellโ€.

Along with Aaftab, two under-trial accused in a theft case have been kept inside the same cell and have been asked to keep watch on Aftab, the Jail Authority informed. Sources say, โ€œAftab isnโ€™t talking too much with themโ€.

According to the prison officials, the arrangement was made keeping in view the security of the accused who was attacked outside the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) office in Delhi.

Notably, two men with swords, identified as Kuldeep Thakur and Nigam Gurjar, attacked the police van carrying Aaftab Amin Poonawalla, the accused in the Shraddha Walkar murder case, outside the FSL office on Monday.

An FIR was registered against the attackers under Sections 186, 353, 147, 148 and 149 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) at Prashant Vihar Police Station in this regard.

Later, Members of a fringe outfit โ€” Bhagwa Hindu Sena โ€” on Sunday took out a march in Haridwar demanding that Aaftab Amin Poonawala, be hanged.

Aaftab is accused of strangling to death his live-in partner Shraddha and chopping her body into 35 pieces. He is also alleged to have preserved the chopped body parts in a refrigerator before dumping them in forested areas in Delhi and Gurugram.

Police had earlier said Aaftab, who confessed to killing Shraddha and chopping her body into 35 pieces, was giving misleading answers to questions.

Delhi Police had submitted in court that Aaftab was giving wrong information and was misleading the investigation.
