Muslim forum names scholarship after Narendra Modi

May 18, 2016

Meerut, May 18: The Aligarh-based Forum for Muslim Studies and Analysis has decided to institute a scholarship for economically backward Muslim students who are in the 12th standard or doing graduation in the name of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. To begin with, it will be given to 10 students.

NaMobhakt
The organisation's director Jasim Mohammad is credited with writing the Prime Minister's first Urdu biography, Narendrabhai Modi — Farsh Se Arsh Tak (Narendrabhai Modi – From the ground to the sky).

The first of the proposed five volumes was launched by Mr. Modi on March 5. A volume in Hindi that he compiled and edited, titled Prime Minister Sri Narendra Modi Ki Mann Ki Baat, is expected to be published shortly.

Earlier, Dr. Jasim was seen to be close to the UPA government and, as part of the organisation Millat Bedari Muhim, had even campaigned for “secular forces” along with filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt in the 2014 general election.

Explaining why he named the scholarship after Mr. Modi, Dr. Jasim says, “He is taking the country on the path of development.”

He also believes that Mr. Modi is genuinely concerned about the problems the minority community faces.

“I instituted the scholarship to help empower students from the minority community. Once empowered, these students will make our country proud,” he says. “Ten scholarships of Rs. 5,000 each will be given this year from August 2016. From the next year, both the number of scholarships and the amount will be increased.”

This name sake muslim Jasim is another Shahnawaz khan who is a chela and chaddi of Feku and bjp. these people have sold their belief for the sake of power and money. shame on you Jasim for being so cheap for power + money. did you forget that Allah is the one who blesses us with power + wealth. Have you lost faith in Allah and are so faithful and trustful to these anti humanity. BJP is 100 percent against Muslims and Islam and this is fact. Are you also a part of them. If this is the case you should change your name to Jasim Rama Modi or Jasim Laxman Shah. Shame on people like you have joined hands with the enemies of Muslims. In sha Allah you will be taught a good lesson by the Creator and you will find no place to hide.

Mangaluru, Dec 7: A 34-year-old fruit and vegetable trader in Mangaluru has reportedly lost ₹33.1 lakh after falling victim to an online investment scam run through a fake mobile app.

Police said the scam began in September, when the victim received a link on Facebook. Clicking it connected him to a WhatsApp number, where an unidentified person introduced a high-return investment scheme and instructed him to download an app.

To build trust, the fraudster asked him to invest ₹30,000 on September 24. The trader soon received ₹34,000 as “profit,” convincing him the scheme was genuine. Over the next two months, he transferred money in multiple instalments via Google Pay and IMPS to different scanner codes and bank accounts shared by the scammers. Between September 24 and December 3, he ended up sending a total of ₹33.1 lakh.

When he later requested a refund of his investment and promised returns, the scammers demanded additional payments, claiming he needed to pay a “service tax” first. Even after he paid a small amount, no money was returned, and the scammers continued pressuring him for more.

A case has been registered at the CEN Crime Police Station.

Mangaluru, Dec 15: Air India Express has announced that it will resume direct flight services between Mangaluru and Muscat from March 2026, restoring an important international air link for passengers from the coastal region.

Airport authorities said the service will operate twice a week—on Sundays and Tuesdays—from March 1. The initial flights are scheduled on March 3, 8 and 10, followed by March 15 and 17, with the same operating pattern to continue thereafter. The flight duration is approximately three hours and 25 minutes.

The Mangaluru–Muscat route was earlier operated under the 2025 summer schedule, with services beginning on July 14. At that time, Air India Express had operated four flights a week before suspending the service.

Officials said the summer schedule will come into effect from March 29, after which changes in flight timings and departure schedules from Mangaluru are expected. Passengers have been advised to check the latest schedules while planning their travel.

The resumption of direct flights to Muscat is expected to significantly benefit expatriates, business travellers and others, further strengthening Mangaluru’s air connectivity with the Gulf region.

Mangaluru Commissioner of Police Sudheer Kumar Reddy C H identified the arrested as Abhishek M, a resident of Katipalla in Mangaluru.

A case has been registered at the Bajpe Police Station under Sections 353(1)(c), 353(2), 56, and 57 read with Section 189 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) in connection with the post.

According to police, the accused uploaded a photograph of a hotel on the Instagram page and alleged that accused persons in a murder case under the Bajpe police jurisdiction were being given “royal treatment” by the police, including being served beef meals daily from the hotel.

The post further accused the police of supporting criminals, misusing their authority, and betraying public trust. Police said the content was provocative in nature and aimed at inciting public outrage against the police.

Following the post, a case was registered at the Bajpe police station, and further investigation was transferred to the CEN police station.

Police records indicate that the accused has a criminal history, with multiple cases registered against him, including murder, attempt to murder, assault, and robbery at the Surathkal Police Station, and one case at the Kaup Police Station.

The Commissioner said the accused was traced and arrested using technical evidence.
