Muslims will only follow the Quran and Sharia ! – Samajwadi Party MP Dr S T Hasan

Muslim leader outraged as Assam Government abolished the ‘Muslim marriage and divorce act’

Dr. S.T. Hasan

Guwahati (Assam) – The Assam Government’s repeal of the ‘Muslim Marriage and Divorce Act 1935’ has angered some Muslim leaders. Samajwadi Party MP and surgeon Dr S T Hasan has spewed venom against this. He said, “No matter how many laws the Government makes, Muslims will follow Sharia and Quran only.’ (No matter how educated a Muslim is, the radical nature does not reduce a bit ! It will not be surprising if someone compares Dr Hasan to the Osama bin Laden – Editor). “Assam Government has tried to polarize Hindu votes by abolishing this law. All the religions have their own belief systems. People have been following them since thousands of years and will continue to do so in the future”, he added.

The Assam Government, while abolishing this law, stated, ‘All the marriages in the State will now be governed by the ‘Special Marriage Act’. This decision is an important step towards eradicating child marriages.’ The proposal to repeal the law was recently approved in a cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.

The State Government wants to provoke the Muslims – MP Badruddin Ajmal

Badruddin Ajmal, Head of Assam’s ‘All India United Democratic Front’ and an anti-Hindu MP, also spewed venom against the decision. He said, “The State Government wants to provoke Muslims by repealing this law. Muslims will not be provoked by this. Through this, the Government wants to bring Uniform Civil Code in the State. Qazis (Islamic jurists and judges) are not beggars. They do not take a single rupee from the Government.” (Please note that Ajmal does not speak a word about the lakhs of Bangladeshi Muslim infiltrators in Assam, who are fed on taxes paid by the Hindus – Editor).

Assam Government’s move is discriminatory – Congress

Congress leader Abdur Rashid Mandal termed the Government’s move as discriminatory. He said the Assam Government has failed to introduce a Uniform Civil Code and stop polygamy.

Editorial Perspectives

• Highlighting this case, the Indian Government must question anti-Hindu western media like ‘New York Times’ and ‘BBC’, which say ‘Indian Muslims are living under fear’.

• Muslims are being provoked against the Government through such statements. To teach such leaders a lesson, the Government should display courage by taking legal action against them and by cancelling their Parliament membership.
