'Pakistan Zindabad' Slogan Raised During Popular Front
Of India (PFI) Protest In Pune; PFI Often Accused Of Promoting Radical Islam
Popular Front Of India Flag
----
SEPTEMBER 24, 2022
Maharashtra CM, deputy CM vow action against those who
allegedly raised slogans
A video has surfaced on social media, which shows that
a "Pakistan Zindabad" slogan was allegedly raised during a protest
organised by the Popular Front of India (PFI) in Pune, drawing a sharp reaction
from the Maharashtra government, which said action would be taken against the
slogan shouters.
Chief Minister Eknath Shinde said such slogans will
not be tolerated in the State, while Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis,
who is also the Home Minister, said those who indulged in this sloganeering
will not be spared.
The video shows that the slogan was raised a couple of
times when the PFI activists were being bundled into a police vehicle as part
of their detention during the protest held on Friday.
The PFI had organised the protest outside the district
collector office to denounce the recent nationwide raids on the outfit and the
arrest of its activists. During the protest, the police detained around 40
protesters.
The Pune police said they were investigating the
matter.
"We have already registered a case against the
PFI members for unlawful assembly and we are looking into the slogans
matter," said Sagar Patil, Deputy Commissioner of Police.
An offence against more than 60 protesters has been
registered at the Bundgarden police station for organising the agitation
without permission, for unlawful assembly and for blocking the road, another
official said.
In a tweet, CM Shinde condemned the pro-Pakistan
slogan raised by "anti-social elements".
"The police machinery will take appropriate
action against them. Such slogans will not be tolerated in the land of
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj," he said.
Speaking in Nagpur, Mr. Fadnavis said, "If anyone
raises a 'Pakistan Zindabad' slogan in Maharashtra or in India, then that
person will not be spared and action will be taken against them. We will find
them out wherever they may be and will take action against them."
Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and State
Cabinet Minister Chandrakant Patil said, "Overall, the case (against PFI)
is very sensitive as far as national security is concerned and the agencies
concerned are already doing their work. The Home Minister and the deputy CM has
taken cognisance and appropriate action will be taken."
Taking to Twitter, BJP MLA Nitesh Rane said those who
raised pro-Pakistan slogans should remember that they will not be spared. He
also demanded a ban on the PFI.
"To all those shouting Pakistan Zindabad slogans
in support of PFI in Pune.. Chun chun ke marenge.. Itna yaad rakana!!!
#BanPfi," he said.
Another BJP MLA Ram Satpute sought a strict action
against those who raised slogans, and said the Pune police should arrest them.
In a massive crackdown on the PFI, multi-agency teams
spearheaded by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) had, on Thursday,
arrested 109 leaders and activists of the radical Islamic outfit in
near-simultaneous raids in 15 States for allegedly supporting terror activities
in the country.
Maharashtra and Karnataka accounted for 20 arrests
each, Tamil Nadu (10), Assam (9), Uttar Pradesh (8), Andhra Pradesh (5), Madhya
Pradesh (4), Puducherry and Delhi (3 each), and Rajasthan (2).
The PFI, formed in 2006, claims to strive for a
neo-social movement ostensibly for the empowerment of marginalised sections of
India, and is often accused by law enforcement agencies of promoting radical
Islam.

Iran's Main Reformist Party Urges End to Mandatory
Islamic Dress Code for Women
FILE - Veiled Iranian women attend a ceremony in
support of the observance of the Islamic dress code for women, in Tehran, Iran,

September 24, 2022
TEHRAN —
Iran's main reformist party called Saturday for an end
to the mandatory Islamic dress code for women in force since 1983, after eight
straight nights of protests.
The Union of Islamic Iran People's Party also called
for the winding down of the morality police charged with enforcing the code
following the death in their custody of 22-year-old Kurdish woman Mahsa Amini
on September 16.
The party, which is led by former aides of reformist
ex-President Mohammad Khatami who oversaw a thaw with the West between 1997 and
2005, called on the authorities to "prepare the legal elements necessary
for the repeal of the law on mandatory hijab."
The party, which remains legal but is firmly outside
the corridors of power, said Iran should announce an "official end to the
activities of the morality police" and "authorize peaceful
demonstrations."
It said an "impartial commission" should be
set up to investigate the circumstances of Amini's death and called for the
"immediate release of people recently detained."
At least 35 people have been killed and hundreds
wounded in the protests that erupted after Amini's death, according to official
figures. Hundreds more have been arrested, including reformist journalists and
activists as well as demonstrators.
Under the law adopted in 1983, four years after Iran's
Islamic revolution, all women, regardless of faith or nationality, must conceal
their hair with a headscarf in public and wear loose fitting trousers under
their coats.
The code has been widely skirted for decades,
particularly in the major cities, but there have been periodic crackdowns.

Bandits who hid their AK-47 rifles in their clothes
and pretended to be worshippers attacked a Juma’at mosque in Zamfara State
killing 15 worshippers.
This is as armed herdsmen again invaded
Ukemberagya/Tswarev council ward in Benue State chasing away the inhabitants,
burning their houses and harvesting their crops and livestock.
The latest attack by herdsmen came barely four days
after they invaded Mchia and Mou communities in Logo Local Government Area
(LGA) of the state where 14 persons were gruesomely murdered and close to 30
others sustained serious injuries.
The attack on Juma’a mosque in Ruwan Jema town of Bukkuyum LGA of Zamfara State also left many
injured while others were still missing.
Although there was no statement from the state
government or the police, a source said the Friday attack “came three weeks
after the terrorists attacked a Friday mosque in Zugu town in the same local
government area where 45 worshippers were kidnapped.”
They came to the mosque on motorcycles but nobody
suspected that they were bandits. We thought they came to observe the weekly
prayers. As soon as the prayers commenced they opened fire at the worshippers.”
“Fifteen worshippers were killed while many sustained
injuries. The death toll could increase as many residents are still missing,”
the source added.
In Benue State, the armed herders who reportedly
besieged the communities and chased the people away were said to have stormed
the communities later at night to also loot the property and valuables of the
fleeing inhabitants.
According to a community leader in the area, Chief
Joseph Anawa, who raised the alarm weekend, the sacked villages include Tse
Ikyem, Tsav, Tse Ijoho, Tse Ikyaan as well as Anawah and Mou settlements.
Anawa said “On Friday, September 23, 2022, in the day
time Fulani herdsmen connived with Jukun militia to drive away Tiv people. of
Ukemberagya/Tswarev ward in Logo LGA from their farms and harvested their yams.
“On the night of the same day, they went on a
destruction spree burning and looting the property of the Tiv people in the
area. The affected communities are Anawah settlement, Tse Ikyem, Tsav, Tse
Ijoho, Tse Ikyaan villages and Mou settlement where they broke into people’s
houses.
“The marauders looted foodstuffs, animals, clothes and
hundreds of sacks of groundnut while houses were burnt at Tse Ikyem near Anawah
settlement.”
While lamenting that the inhabitants of the
communities had deserted their homes, he said “there is an urgent need for a
security presence in the area to be stationed at Chembe village and Iorza
settlement for quick response to this unfortunate development.”

Afghan Education Discrimination Anniversary: Resilient
Youth Launch Distance Learning Programs

from her home following the Taliban ban on girls’ schools. Photo Credit: Khaama
Press / Belal Mostamand, September 22nd
-----
By Saqalain Eqbal
25 Sep 2022
September 18 marked the first anniversary of girls’
education deprivation, one of the Taliban’s hard-line policies seen as
“shameful” and “tragic” by the United Nations (UN), affecting millions of young
Afghan girls.
The political unrest in Afghanistan resulted in the
dissolution of some youth movements, but others, like the Afghan Youth
Empowerment Camp (AYEC), a youth-led organization with the mission of enhancing
youth capacity, particularly that of women and girls, took on the task of
keeping the learning wheel turning.
AYEC established an online English language program,
English for Afghan Women (E4AW), utilizing innovative distance-learning
approaches for Afghan girls and women who had to endure isolation and closed
schools. Since English proficiency is the main objective of the program, from
elementary to intermediate levels, it allows 100s of female students to learn
English remotely.
Samina Razmjo, 18, is one of the many girls who have
been denied the opportunity to attend school, but she is one of the students
who do not see this as a barrier to learning as she attends AYEC.
Samina explained to Khaama Press how her life as an
Afghan girl and a student has changed as a result of the Taliban takeover.
“While going to school has become a distant dream for us, I am appreciative of
AYEC for offering us online English classes where we study, make friends,
communicate, and have fun for an hour,” Ramzjo added.
With a focus on sustainable development goals (SDGs),
project management, and extracurricular activities, AYEC has developed several
youth empowerment programs, including youth empowerment camps, training,
workshops, and motivational programs both in-person and online.
Firoz Sidiqy, Mehdia Sadat, and Nawid Soofizada
founded the non-governmental, charitable organization AYEC in 2019 with the
goal of strengthening Afghan youth. Here are the messages of each of the AYEC
co-founders given below:
Currently, the people in Afghanistan are in dire need
of support by any means. Particularly women are deprived of their fundamental
human rights. They are not allowed to go to school or work outside their homes.
Also, many humanitarian crimes are being committed daily with no media
coverage. I ask the international community not to forget the millions of
people in Afghanistan who are struggling in a lamentable situation with no hope
for the future.Nawid Soofizada, Co-founder of AYEC
We are all together in this pain. With the takeover of
Afghanistan by the Taliban in August 2021, many lives have been changed and
Afghan women are those who have been negatively affected the most. Girls’ ban
on schools, offices, and educational centers is one of the most concerning
issues regarding the education of women in Afghanistan. As fellow Afghans, it
is our sincere honor to be able to mitigate the negative impacts of the current
government on women’s education.Mehdia Sadat, Co-founder of AYEC
Taliban have never adhered to moral and humanitarian
principles and we have witnessed this during the consolidation of their
governance in Afghanistan. In my opinion, if the international community keeps
their eyes closed on the issue of Afghanistan and does not take any practical
action, this oppression will continue, and Afghan women will not stop fighting
by losing their lives, and this tragedy will be recorded in the world. Although
the decision of the Taliban regarding the banning schools to Afghan girls faced
international condemnation and the heads of the United States, Canada, the
European Union, and other countries condemned it but you know condemnation
alone is not the solution.Firoz Sidiqy, Co-founder of AYEC
Even while distance learning happens, with a strong
will and dedication, a variety of challenges put these youth-led, life-saving
projects in jeopardy of ceasing to exist, mainly financial impediments.
Organizations that used to assist such initiatives
have closed since the Taliban took control of the Afghan government; those that
remain are now solely managed on a volunteer basis and without outside funding,
while poverty and unemployment in Afghanistan are at record highs.
Afghanistan is the only country on earth that bans the
education of half of its population in secondary schools due to the Taliban’s
edict regarding girls’ schools. This, together with other draconian measures of
the Taliban against Afghan women, contributes to the precarious economic
situation, already-rocketed poverty, and isolation of Afghanistan.
A UN report says that due to the Taliban’s failure to
fulfill various promises to allow girls to return to school, over a million
Afghan girls—mostly between the ages of 12 and 18—have been denied access to
education.
The fate of a young generation of girls remains
uncertain for over a year despite the calls from the international community on
the Taliban to re-open schools for girls. Not even girl students’ protest
helped their return to a classroom, a dream shared by all Afghan girls.
Instead, the protestor students were scattered by aerial shootings of the
gun-wielding Taliban fighters.
The international community has even made the
reopening of school gates one of the prerequisites for the Taliban’s
international recognition. At the same time, the message of the Afghan youth is
clear, and that is that education must continue.

Ulema-i-Islam-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman has claimed that Pakistan
Tehreek-i-Insaf chief Imran Khan still enjoys “support that matters” as he
continued to get “relief from courts”.
In response to a question about the nomination of new
army chief, he said everything about this process was clearly mentioned in the
Constitution and Imran Khan should better keep quiet on this issue.
The JUI-F emir predicted a dark future for Imran Khan
and said once the country was handed over to him but now this risk could never
be taken again.
He said comprehensive changes have been proposed in
the transgender bill in consultation with scholars and it would be moved in the
Senate soon.
In his address, the JUI-F chief said the federal
government was making all-out efforts to control price hike to provide relief
to people, adds APP.
He said there were different religions in the world
but only Islam was being targeted by the forces of tyranny.
He said differences could be resolved through wisdom
and demonstrating patience.

KOLKATA: To mark Durga Puja a festival of
inclusiveness, organisers in Murshidabad district has engaged a Muslim jute

communal harmony. Durja Puja is a festival of inclusiveness,’’ said

Muslims mourn Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) demise
anniversary
Sep 25, 2022
Muslims in Iran and other countries around the world
held rituals on Tuesday to mourn the anniversary of the demise of the Prophet
Muhammad (PBUH).
Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was born around 570, AD
in Mecca. His father died before he was born and he was raised first by his
grandfather and then his uncle. He belonged to a poor but respectable family of
the Quraysh tribe. The family was active in Meccan politics and trade.
In his early teens, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) worked in
a camel caravan, following in the footsteps of many people his age, born of
meager wealth. Working for his uncle, he gained experience in commercial trade
traveling to Syria and eventually from the Mediterranean Sea to the Indian
Ocean. In time, Muhammad earned a reputation as honest and sincere, acquiring
the nickname “al-Amin” meaning faithful or trustworthy.

We watch the protests in Iran and hope, but false
optimism may be clouding our eyes
Jason Burke
25 Sep 2022
In the second week of December 1978, between 1 and 2
million people marched peacefully through Tehran calling for the Shah to leave.
Around a fifth to almost a half of the city’s population was on the streets.
The CIA, warily watching opposition in a key regional ally and client for US
arms, noted that one man was “the focal point”, providing “guidance and support
for the movement acting in his name in Iran”. This was the Ayatollah Ruhollah
Khomeini, then thousands of miles away in exile in Paris, though his portrait
was carried by many of the marchers.
Decades later and the regime established by Khomeini
is still in power in Iran. Crowds are on the streets again in Tehran and other
Iranian cities following the death on 16 September of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini,
arrested by the morality police, who accused her of breaking laws on wearing
the hijab introduced by Khomeini’s regime in 1981. Women have thrown
headscarves on to fires, vast posters celebrating the regime have been torn
down, police stations torched. The unrest appears set to intensify.
Could this finally be the spark that leads to massive
change in Iran, as many hope? Some believe a fuse has been lit. Oppression of
women is an existential issue for the regime, but perhaps, too, a fundamental
weakness. The powerful and impressive images coursing through our Facebook and
Twitter feeds, and reproduced by mainstream media, might lead us to believe
they are right.
Is history repeating itself? Certainly some protesters
have invoked parallels with the tumultuous events of 1979, chanting :“Death to
the oppressor, be it the shah or the supreme leader!” There are many reasons to
be impressed by what is happening in Iran. Protests on this scale prompted by
anger over the abuse of women’s rights are rare anywhere. Men are on the
streets, too, and those involved in the unrest are reported to be more
demographically diverse than participants in similar events in recent years. No
one can doubt that the protests are also tapping into wells of deep discontent
with the manifest economic, political and moral failures of the repressive
theocratic regime.
But we may be letting our hopes run ahead of reality.
What we are seeing is very far from being a full picture of events. Reporting
from the ground is extremely limited. After a decade or so of exposure to the
extraordinary impact of contemporary media technology, we have seen again and
again how a single clip uploaded from an individual’s mobile phone can be
broadcast to hundreds of millions through social media, then further amplified
by mainstream media. We see something that is happening in one street in one
town in one province – but that is not always representative of events across a
vast and populous country. In Iran now, it’s difficult to work out exactly how
extensive the unrest is. Journalists, academic experts and government
intelligence analysts will seek to supplement inadequate visual evidence, but
their conclusions very often have little impact compared with emotive images.
Populist politicians know this, so do terrorists of every ideology and creed.
We prefer to believe what we want to be tru

APC Chieftain Tackles Dogara over Muslim-Muslim Ticket
Seriki Adinoyi
25-09-2022
Chief of Staff to the Director General of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Organisation, Mr. Yakubu Dati,
has accused the former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Yakubu
Dogara, for trying to play the religious card after he lost the bid to be
nominated running mate to the party’s presidential candidate, Senator Bola
Tinubu.
Dogara had said that the APC’s Muslim-Muslim
presidential ticket was “doomed to end in a spectacular failure”, and called on
Christians “to resist the temptation of wasting their votes on the ticket” in
the 2023 general election.
But responding, Dati said the former Speaker’s comment
did not go beyond his usual championing of selfish interest under the guise of
religious equity as it fails to contextualise his understanding of what state
and nation building constitute in the current political dispensation.

Afghan Singer Urges Tajik President to Continue
Hosting Afghan Refugees
By Saqalain Eqbal
24 Sep 2022
According to recent reports, Tajikistan intends to
send back Afghan refugees who sought asylum there when the previous government
was ousted and the Taliban were installed to power.
The prominent and acclaimed Afghan singer urged the
president of Tajikistan in a letter to reconsider the decision to deport the
refugees and “to host homeless refugees for a while longer.”
Most of the people in Tajikistan who are looking for
asylum are hoping to be relocated to Canada. The refugees, who are currently in
Tajikistan, fled to Afghanistan’s northern neighbor and have been waiting there
for about a year, much like many others who escaped to the west or south after
the Taliban took control in Afghanistan.

September 25, 2022
ISLAMABAD: Days after his party was advised by the
chief justice to return to parliament, Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman
Imran Khan on Saturday said he was willing to withdraw their resignations from
the National Assembly only if a probe was conducted into the alleged conspiracy
that resulted in the ouster of his government.
Separately, speaking at a public meeting in Rahim Yar
Khan on Saturday night, Mr Khan stopped short of giving a concrete plan for his
planned anti-government movement, saying that he would remain in protest mode
until fresh general elections were announced.
“I will give the call for protest when I am sure that
all three wickets will fall with one ball,” the PTI chief said, without
elaborating.

Rabbani ‘challenges’ duty-free import of cars for
ex-officers
The Newspaper's Staff
September 25, 2022
ISLAMABAD: After a brouhaha over a cabinet decision to
allow duty-free imports of bulletproof vehicles for three- and four-star
retired officers of the armed forces, former Senate chairman Raza Rabbani has
called on the ruling coalition to nix its decision.
In a statement issued on Saturday, Mr Rabbani said he
had already submitted a calling-attention notice to discuss the matter and seek
an official response from the government.
The statement came after reports that senior officers
of the armed forces would be able to import duty-free bulletproof vehicles of
up to 6,000cc under a policy green-lighted by the federal cabinet but is
subject to the premier’s approval. Faced with severe criticism from all sides,
the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) clarified on Saturday that it hadn’t issued
a statutory regulatory order (SRO) to allow the import of tax-free bulletproof
vehicles.

Caitlin Doherty

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has said he would
reverse the decision to abolish the top rate of income tax, but would keep the
Government’s planned cut to the basic rate.
On Friday, Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng announced that
the 45p rate – paid on earnings over £150,000 – was being scrapped as part of
the Government’s much-anticipated growth plan.
He claimed the move would help turbo-charge the
economy, however Starmer committed to reintroducing the tax bracket, and said
that he does not think “that the choice to have tax cuts for those that are
earning hundreds of thousands of pounds is the right choice.”
