Man Who Shot UP School Video Narrates What Happened; ‘Villagers With Me’: Principal Tripta Tyagi

 

Screen Shot: Photo YouTube

By Poulomi Ghosh

Aug 27, 2023

Amid the controversy over the Neha Public School viral video for which teacher Tripta Tyagi has been booked, BJP's Amit Malviya shared the statement of the man who shot the video to further the narrative that the controversy was manufactured and that there was no communal angle in the incident. The man who shot the video of the Muslim kid being beaten up by his classmates on the instruction of the teacher, Tripta Tyagi, said the beating was because of studies. He said he went to the school for some work where his cousin studies. “Madam was getting the child beaten. She said Muslim women go to their parental house which their kids and so the kids miss their studies,” the man said confirming that his video was made viral after some editing.

Booked under bailable sections, Tripta Tyagi, however, said what she did was the right thing to do and the villagers supported her action. "I am not ashamed. I have served the people of this village as a teacher. They all are with me. They have made laws, but we need to control the children in schools. This is how we tackle them," Tyagi said to NDTV in an interview.

Earlier, the accused teacher said she was handicapped and that's why she could not get up from her chair and slap the Muslim kid herself. On top of her defence, she claimed the video was doctored as the part where she was blaming the mothers of the Muslim kids for their deterioration in the studies was edited out.

1. On Friday, the video of Tripta Tyagi asking students to slap a Muslim kid went viral. In the video, she was heard commenting offensively on Muslims as well.

2. The video sparked a major outrage with celebrities condemning the communal action of the teacher. Opposition leaders including Congress MP Rahul Gandhi spoke against the hatred.

3. The father of the Muslim kid said the incident took place on Thursday. The teacher apologised and the family did not want to go to the police.

4. As the viral video became a BJP versus opposition tussle with AIMIM chief Owaisi asking Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath where his bulldozers were now, different versions of the incident came to the fore.

5. The father of the Muslim kid said there was no communal angle to the incident. The cousin who shot the video also confirmed the same.

6. Tripta Tyagi who runs Neha Public School said it was her mistake that she asked other kids to beat the Muslim kid, but there was no communal intention.

7. The teacher said she was asked to be strict with the kid by his parents as he was not performing well in his studies.

8. Tripta Tyagi claimed she could not slap the kid as she is handicapped.

9. The Muslim kid was slapped by his classmates for hours.

10. Tripta Tyagi was booked by the Muzaffarnagar police under bailable sections which do not warrant arrest.

Muslims have participated in a protest organised by Islamic organisations in the Dutch city of The Hague amid ongoing anti-Islam incidents around Europe.

They had signs that read: "The Quran gives us light to guide us, fire cannot burn the Sun" and "I love the Quran" as demonstrators walked toward the Danish and Swedish embassies.

They shouted: "Stop burning our book and holy books," and "Shame on the Danish and Swedish governments!" Demonstrators also recited verses from the Quran.

SerdarIsik, a psychologist, read a statement in front of the Swedish Embassy and said attacks on the Quran in Denmark, Sweden and the Netherlands hurt Muslims very much and tearing the Quran under police protection is a racist act.

Slapping Incident: Hong Kong’s Chief Imam Tells Religious Teachers ‘We Can’t Punish Students For Learning The Quran’

 

27 Aug, 2023

Seated cross-legged on the white-tiled floor of their classroom, about 30 children aged eight to 15 rocked gently from side to side, reciting verses in Arabic from the Quran, Islam’s holy book, at a religious school in Hong Kong.

“They sing the words to remember them better. The swaying helps them keep the rhythm,” said chief imam Mufti Muhammad Arshad, leader of Hong Kong’s Muslim community of 300,000.

An Islamic religious school, or madrasa, was in the spotlight after an incident on August 5 when a 13-year-old student was allegedly slapped during a Quran reading class.

The boy had to undergo surgery for a detached retina. The 35-year-old man who was subsequently arrested was a volunteer teacher at the centre in Quarry Bay.

The incident sparked outrage, with senior Muslim figures calling for more to be done to safeguard children and improve the quality of teachers at the city’s Islamic religious centres.

Chief imam Arshad met all religious teachers, or ustadhs, for a training session on Saturday to emphasise what to do and not do during their classes.

“I will tell all ustadhs that beating is a form of punishment and we cannot punish students for learning the Quran,” he told the Post before the meeting.

Arshad oversees most Islamic places of worship in the city, but the Quarry Bay madrasa is privately run and not under his jurisdiction.

“We don’t appoint any teachers from abroad, we hire Hong Kong residents from within the community,” he said, adding that all new teachers had to clear an interview process and he checked their experience and references.

He is also responsible for inspecting all madrasas under his jurisdiction to ensure that they keep in line with the principles of Islam, which forbids the use of corporal punishment.

Parents donate around HK$200 (US$26) to send their children to religious classes. The Kowloon mosque had about 300 students and the donations covered only about a fifth of the teachers’ salaries, according to Arshad.

While many Muslim parents sent their children to religious classes at mosques and madrasas, Ali said some preferred to teach them themselves or go online for lessons with a teacher in Pakistan or other places.

He said the madrasas provided Muslims with a sense of community. “Some have board game clubs and organise outdoor activities during the school holidays to support families,” he added.

Adeel Malik, founder of the Muslim Council of Hong Kong, said madrasas were not only where members of the community learned Arabic and Islam, but also where they interacted and made friends.

Responding to the incident, the council suggested ways to keep children safe, including having a code of conduct signed by all teachers and installing CCTV cameras in madrasas.

In a social media post, the council earlier said the August 5 incident “was not an isolated incident” but also urged the public not to view it as a religious one.

Lawmaker Doreen Kong Yuk-foon agreed that a code of conduct would be beneficial for the religious teachers, including volunteers at the madrasas, which do not fall under government supervision.

“There should be some standards, even if they are volunteers, they must meet certain requirements and follow a code of conduct,” she said.

“We should also provide the same level of protection to ethnic minority groups as we do to those studying in other training centres.”

27/August/2023

HEBRON, Sunday, August 27, 2023 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces raided last night the Al-Shibli Mosque in the Old City of Hebron, south of the occupied West Bank, breaking its windows and causing damage to the sacred site.

Nidal Mohammad Al-Jabari, the Director-General of the Islamic Waqf in Hebron, expressed his condemnation of the attack, describing it an act of aggression against a place of worship that is unacceptable and goes against the freedom of worship. 

This targeted Israeli attack raises concerns about the safety of religious sites under Israeli military occupation in the occupied West Bank.

This Is How We Tackle Them: UP Teacher On Making Kids Slap A Muslim Student

August 27, 2023

The Union government moved to block online, the viral video of a Muslim child being attacked by his classmates, in Uttar Pradesh’s Mansurpur village. The Hindu on Friday identified at least three posts on X (formerly Twitter), that have been taken down in India; the posts remain available for X users in other countries. One posting of the video has over 900,000 views, with other posts having tens of thousands of views each. This is the second instance this month of videos showing attack on minorities being blocked on social media just as they were going viral.

The G-20 nations on August 26 arrived at a consensus on cultural issues such as the need to address the destruction of cultural heritage in situations of conflict, the curbing of illicit trafficking of artefacts, the restitution of cultural property and the need to protect living heritage, specially of indigenous people. However, there was no unanimity on “geopolitical issues” like the war in Ukraine.

The Indian Air Force (IAF) which has puts its weight behind the indigenous Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) project is hoping for expedited deliveries and gearing up to place additional orders. The move is to arrest the IAF’s fighter strength falling further, from the current 31 squadrons, in the medium term. By 2030, the IAF would have 32 or 33 fighter squadrons and would have 35 or 36 fighter squadrons by 2040 if the indigenous fighters meet the induction timeline, a Defence official said.

PPP’s Khursheed Shah doesn’t see Nawaz returning to Pakistan in October

Nadir Guramani

August 27, 2023

Despite the statement made by Shehbaz Sharif, PPP leader Syed Khursheed Shah has said that he does not see PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif returning to Pakistan in October.

On Friday, after meeting his brother in London, Shehbaz had said that after consultations with the party’s senior leadership, it had been decided that Nawaz “will return to Pakistan in October”.

Shehbaz made the statement in response to a question about media reports suggesting that Nawaz would return to Pakistan in mid-October. However, in an interview with a private television channel earlier this month, Shehbaz had said Nawaz would return to Pakistan in September while other senior N-leaguers suggested the same.

KARACHI: The ECP’s announcement to initiate fresh delimitation in light of the notification of the latest census results seems to have put the former coalition partners on a collision course.

Only a day after the PPP demanded elections within 90 days — which would only be po­s­sible if the delimitation exe­rcise is put off — the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM-P) joi­ned the ranks of those endorsing fresh delimitations, the others being PML-N and JUI-F.

LAHORE: People across Punjab, including the provincial metropolis, have continued venting their anger at the high rates of electricity, taking to the streets in massive demonstrations and burning their electricity bills en masse, refusing to pay them.

A massive increase in the tariff of electricity and taxes on the bills have left the consumers with no option but to stage demonstrations as they can no longer afford to pay for the utility.

Besides Lahore, furious consumers held protests against the hikes in electricity tariff in Bahawalnagar, Toba Tek Singh, Sahiwal and Chiniot among others. In the provincial metropolis, protest demonstrations were held at many places, including Hall Road and Kahna.

Worshippers at a mosque targeted by neo-Nazis are living in fear of a far-right attack resembling the Christchurch massacre, the imam has said.

Banners bearing the SS insignia, swastikas and the Totenkopf (SS Nazi skull) symbol were put on a lamp post outside the Iqraa Mosque in Dunmurry last week.

He told Sunday Life: “One of the parents was bringing their child to the mosque the following morning and saw the flags. It reminded him of Christchurch and what happened in the mosque there. He was afraid this could happen here.

Islamist terrorist group kills at least 11 Syrian soldiers in Idlib

27 Aug 2023

At least eleven members of the Syrian government troops were killed in an attack by an Islamist militia in northwestern Syria on Saturday. According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, at least 20 other soldiers were injured. The terrorist group Ansar al-Tawhid, which is close to the Al-Qaeda offshoot Haiat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), was apparently responsible for the attack.

According to the UK-based Observatory, the attack targeted a military post in the small town of Krafranbel in Idlib province. Members of Ansar al-Tawhid first detonated a bomb and then stormed the position occupied by regime troops. The Observatory said that the death toll could rise because several soldiers suffered serious injuries.

The Russian Air Force has flown several strikes on suspected positions of jihadist militias on the southern edge of Idlib in response to the Kafranbel raid, according to the Observatory, according to the Observatory.

24-year-old Celtic star sends cryptic Instagram message after St. Johnstone result

Patrick Sinat

27 August 2023

If Brendan Rodgers thought he had issues after yesterday’s performance against St Johnstone then maybe he should avoid social media today.

Because if he had a quick look at Instagram, he would see a post from SeadHaksabanovic that would not go down well with the Celtic boss.

In what looks like a clear message that he is unhappy at the club, Haksabanovic has probably gone down a path that will not be looked on favourably by the Celtic support.

Muslims Must Observe Decorum And Refrain From Activities Forbidden By IslamWhen Visiting Graves:Religious Affairs Minister

27 Aug 2023

PORT DICKSON, Aug 27 — Muslims are reminded to observe decorum and refrain from engaging in activities forbidden by Islam when visiting graveyards, said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Dr MohdNa’im Mokhtar.

He said although visiting graves is “harus” (permissible) as the purpose in Islam is to reflect and remind us of death, there are rules that must be adhered to by Muslims in order to prevent us from doing things that could raise concerns among the public and lead to slander

Visiting graves is similar to visiting the sick, and the proper etiquette must be followed. For example, when visiting a grave, it is encouraged to recite supplications and give salam (greet) to the deceased.

Education Ministry ready to meet any party to explain implementation of hadith appreciation module

27 Aug 2023

BATU PAHAT, Aug 27 — The Ministry of Education (MoE) is ready to meet with any party to clear up misunderstandings on the implementation of the ‘Imam Al-Nawawi’s 40 Hadith’ appreciation module in schools nationwide.

Its Deputy Minister Lim Hui Ying said the confusion arose when some non-governmental organisations (NGOs) expressed their concerns over the implementation of the module, thus creating various speculations.

“Everyone knows that this Hadith 40 module is only for Muslim students and teachers, we at the ministry hope that this issue will not continue to be played up,” she told reporters after visiting SekolahJenisKebangsaanCina (SJKC) Cheng Siu 1 and 2 here today.

Iran that has been lurching from crisis to crisis, now shrugs off outcast status after BRICS invite

27.08.23

Over the past 12 months, Iran has lurched from crisis to crisis.

An uprising led by women and young people seeking an end to clerical rule reverberated across the nation. High food prices intensified a long downward spiral of the economy. Violent crackdowns by Iranian security forces on the voices of dissent prompted widespread outrage abroad. And the prospect of a nuclear deal with the US appeared ever more dim.

But then came a surprise announcement on Thursday that the country had been invited to join BRICS, a group of emerging economies aiming to act as a counterweight to western dominance of the world order. Iranian officials immediately declared a victory, boasting about their country’s “historic achievement” and talking up its potential as a trade partner and as an ideological disrupter of western hegemony.

The Battle of Manzikert and the rise of the Muslim Turks

By 5Pillars

26th August 2023

Türkiye is marking the 952nd anniversary of the Battle of Manzikert, a pivotal historic victory for the Turks in Anatolia which paved the way for the end of the Byzantine Empire and the rise of the Muslim Seljuks and later Ottomans.

Fought on August 26, 1071, between the Byzantine Empire and the Seljuk Turks, the battle stands as a turning point in history, where the Byzantine Empire’s defeat at the hands of the Seljuk Turks reshaped the geopolitical and cultural landscape of the Eastern Mediterranean.

“I congratulate (the nation on) the 952nd anniversary of the Victory at Manzikert, the starting point of the chain of victories that took us to Vienna,” President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on X, formerly known as Twitter, referring to the Battle of Vienna about six centuries later when the Ottoman Empire reached its territorial height.

“I commemorate Sultan Alp Arslan and his army, and all our heroes who made Anatolia our homeland, with mercy and gratitude,” the president added.

Only a handful Hindus, Sikhs left in Afghanistan

27 August,2023

When Kabul fell to the Taliban in 2021, there were concerns that some of Afghanistan’s tiny non-Muslim minorities could vanish. Two years on, those fears are becoming realised a media report said. While Afghanistan’s last-known Jew fled the country shortly after the Taliban takeover, the Sikh and Hindu communities are believed to have shrunk to just a handful of families, reported a local channel.

Under the Taliban, Sikhs and Hindus have faced severe restrictions, including on their appearances, and have been banned from marking their religious holidays in public, leaving many with no choice but to escape their homeland,. “I cannot go anywhere freely,” Fari Kaur, one of the last remaining Sikhs in the capital, Kabul said.

KABUL: With Afghanistan unable to treat the potentially deadly eye cancer retinoblastoma, Israel’s Sheba Medical Center initiated and is funding a programme to transport Afghan children with the disease into Pakistan for treatment, foreign media reported.

Islamic State group almost doubled its territory in Mali in under a year, U.N. says

August 26, 2023

UNITED NATIONS — Islamic State extremists have almost doubled the territory they control in Mali in less than a year, and their al-Qaida-linked rivals are capitalizing on the deadlock and perceived weakness of armed groups that signed a 2015 peace agreement, United Nations experts said in a new report.

The stalled implementation of the peace deal and sustained attacks on communities have offered the IS group and al-Qaida affiliates a chance "to re-enact the 2012 scenario," they said.

That's when a military coup took place in March and rebels in the north formed an Islamic state two months later. The extremist rebels were forced from power in the north with the help of a French-led military operation, but they moved from the arid north to more populated central Mali in 2015 and remain active.

The panel of experts said in the report that the impasse in implementing the agreement — especially the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration of combatants into society — is empowering al-Qaida-linked Jama'a Nusrat ul-Islam wa al-Muslimin known as JNIM to vie for leadership in northern Mali.
