Nitish Visits Maner Dargah Amidst Muslim Confusion Over Waqf Bill Silence

Published

on

On Sunday, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar visited the historic Maner Sharif Dargah in Patna to commemorate the 756th Urs celebrations of the revered Sufi Saint Makhdoom Shah Kamaluddin Ahmed Yahya Maneri. The in-charge of Maner Sharif Khanqah, Syed Shah Tariq Suharwardi Ainayatullah Firdausi, along with other devotees, warmly welcomed the Chief Minister and presented him with a cap and a handkerchief as a mark of respect.Taking time to immerse himself in the spiritual ambiance, Kumar offered a ‘chadar’ with deep reverence and prayed for the peace, development, and prosperity of Bihar.

This visit to Maner Sharif Dargah, which symbolizes Bihar’s Ganga-Jamuni culture and communal harmony, highlights his commitment to promoting religious unity and advancing the interests of the state. However, the visit carries particularly significant weight given the current political climate.

There is discontent among the Muslim community in Bihar regarding the Janata Dal (United)’s stance on the proposed Waqf Amendment Bill, perceived as a move by the central government to exert control over mosques and dargahs. Community leaders have criticized the bill, viewing it as an attempt to undermine the Waqf system and marginalize Muslims further.

Rajiv Ranjan Singh, also known as Lalan Singh, a close associate of Kumar and a Union Minister, has been notably supportive of the bill among BJP allies. While certain Muslim leaders within the JDU have openly expressed their opposition, others have emphasized the necessity to address the concerns of the Muslim community before the bill is finalized.

Kumar’s silence on this contentious issue has left many in the Muslim community perplexed, especially since they have historically supported the JDU due to its alliance with the BJP. Recently, a leader from the RJD placed large hoardings in Patna accusing Kumar of betraying the Muslim community concerning the Waqf Amendment Bill, a sentiment that seems to be growing among ordinary Muslims.

Veteran journalist and political analyst Navendu noted that while former Chief Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav had once been the most favored political figure among Muslims, today, Nitish Kumar stands as their top choice. His genuine efforts to uplift the Muslim community have earned him considerable respect; however, his ongoing silence regarding the Waqf Bill could potentially jeopardize his standing among voters.

Published

on

Jaipur: A 23-year-old woman, Ayushi Sharma, who was arrested for allegedly plotting her mother’s murder to obtain a government job, is now facing fresh allegations linked to her father’s death.

Ayushi’s uncle has claimed that the death of her father, Vijay Sharma, may not have been natural. He has demanded a police investigation into the case. Police have started looking into the allegation.

According to the police, Ayushi planned the murder of her mother, Neeraj Sharma, with the help of her uncle Mohan Swaroop and her relative Balram alias Ravi. The motive was to gain control of family property and secure her mother’s government job.

Police said the accused paid Rs.7 lakh to contract killers to carry out the murder. The attackers allegedly rammed an SUV into Neeraj Sharma and tried to make it look like a road accident.

Neeraj Sharma, 45, was working as a Lower Division Clerk (LDC) in a court. On July 3, she was returning home after dropping her son at tuition when a speeding Scorpio SUV allegedly hit her near Pratap Nagar. She was thrown nearly 100 feet and died on the spot. The accused fled after the incident.

Police said Neeraj Sharma had received the government job on compassionate grounds after the death of her husband about a year ago. Investigators believe Ayushi wanted the job for herself. Police also said there had been a property dispute between the mother and daughter for the past two to three years.

During questioning, Ayushi allegedly told police that she wanted her late father’s government job. However, after his death, the job was given to her mother. She reportedly admitted that this disappointment, along with the property dispute, became the reason for planning the murder.
