SUPREME COURT QUESTIONS WAQF AMENDMENT ACT AMID STRONG OPPOSITION AND PUBLIC OUTCRY

 








                   The observation made by the Supreme Court in the petition filed by Kerala and others against the Waqf Amendment Act passed by the Central Government was hopeful and questioned the essence of this law. When the court postponed the hearing to allow more arguments, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, who appeared for the government, was standing without an answer in the name of anti-constitutional legislation. The lawyers who appeared for the petitioners were striking strongly in the court. The Solicitor General was in a position to plead with the court not to issue an interim order on yesterday. Almost 73 petitions came from Samastha, the Muslim League, the Congress, etc.


                  The lawyer who appeared for the petitioners argued that it is a violation of Article 26, which ensures the freedom to manage religious affairs to every religious denomination or section thereof. It allows them to establish and maintain institutions for religious and charitable purposes, manage their own affairs, and own and acquire property. They questioned the system of the law which gives more authority to the Collector in Waqf matters.


               The great rally organised by the Muslim League committee in Kozhikode on yesterday was a strong warning that no one will be allowed to touch it illegally. It is expected that the final verdict will reflect the observations made by the court yesterday.

“The Courage Behind a Genius”

Image
         The truly brave woman was my mother, who made the so-called foolish Edison appear great before the world.       Once, Thomas Alva Edison came home with a letter given to him by his teacher, addressed to his mother. When she opened and read the letter, her eyes filled with tears. Edison asked what it said. She replied, “Your teacher says that you are a very intelligent boy. We teachers cannot manage or match your intelligence, so I should teach you at home.”        Many years later, Edison went on to develop numerous devices in fields such as electric power generation, sound recording, and motion pictures. One day, while cleaning his room, he found that same letter. He opened and read it. It actually said, “Your son is stupid and foolish. He cannot study, and we cannot manage him anymore. You should teach him at home. Do not send him back to school.” He broke down in tears, remembering the courage and faith of his mothe...

THE DANGER OF SHARING EVERYTHING

                                      Thieves who entered in the house said to the women: “We are not interested to attack you or destroy your house. We will sit in the sofa. Bring the money and ornament!” She brought everything due to fear. They said to her: “Don't fool us. Where is the Diamond chain gifted by your husband for your wedding anniversary?” She gave the chain to them. They again asked: “Where is the watch gifted by your sister from Dubai?” When they got that also, they said: “We need coffee. We also need the chocolate cake that was left over yesterday.” After everything, she asked them: “You are really professional. How did you understand everything in my house?” They replied: “We are Facebook friends. I used to read your every posts.” --- Don’t display everything—even if it is happiness, sadness, or earnings. No one can live peacefully without privacy. Some questions are re...

LET NO MORE VIPANCHIKAS DIE

  Let No More Vipanchikas Die   “It is better for girls from penniless families not to get married.” This haunting quote comes from the suicide note of a girl named Vipanchika . Every day, more young women are losing their lives—even though we have laws against domestic violence and harassment. How many lives must we lose before we stop measuring human worth in cars, gold, and assets? The story of Vismaya was only the beginning. Where did we go wrong? Who is responsible? Is it the parents who gave the green flag to suitors who came with a checklist of dowry demands? Is it the groom's family who shamelessly asked for dowries bigger than what they gave their own daughters? Or is it the girls, who felt powerless to walk away from a marriage where love was measured in money and ornaments? All these problems can be solved —but only if we have the courage to make the right choices. Girls must decide: “I will not marry...
