I don’t want a terrorist in my family: Hadiya’s father on her decision to go with Muslim husband

K M Asokan, a Kerala based man, who had kept his daughter Akhila alias Hadiya under house arrest and allegedly tortured her for embracing Islam and marrying a Muslim man, has continued to call his Muslim son-in-law a terrorist.

However, Asokan said that he would not oppose Supreme Court’s decision to allow Hadiya to return to her college to continue her studies.

Asked about his stance on Hadiya’s decision to go with her husband Shafin Jahan, an angry Asokan said that he could not have a terrorist in the family.

"I cannot have a terrorist in the family. Hadiya does not have any idea about Syria, where she wanted to go after getting converted to Islam," said Asokan, who had portrayed Hadiya’s marriage as a case of so called love jihad.

However, Hadiya has repeatedly clarified that neither she nor her husband wanted to go Syria. She also said that she doesn’t even have a passport to move out of the country.

The Supreme Court yesterday freed Hadiya from the custody of her parents and sent her to college to pursue her studies, even as she pleaded that she should be allowed to be with her husband.

Comments

This passage has always been quoted out of context and never post other verses 9:1-14,  If they did, people would find out that it says the opposite of what they claim. Read from 9:1 – 9:14,

Islam never says to kill non-believers and this wording is related to pagans at the time of renovation. Quran is not an ordinary book. To understand the quran better you need to study Hadith and history. Dear brother Rudra I really appreciate your quote and I advise you to study more and more about islam to find truth. May Almighty Allah Guide you and your family in a right way. May Allah bless you if he wishes. Insha halla

Dear Asokan, dont trust on sanghis who are trying to brain wash you.  Whatever you have stated is wrong.  Your daughter has no passport to go out of india.   Secondly your son-in-law is not a terrorist but those sanghis who are brain washing are the real terrorists who killed Bapuji.  

All claims, no proof.

 

Kill unbelievers where you find them. koran 9:5

 

Do you dare to deny it? Do you follow it ? pseudo muslim.

I agree with you whatever legal points of view expressed. Hadiya is matured, educated lady and free to convert, believe and marry the boy of her choice.

There is another face to this, which also to be a face of parents! irrespective of Ashokan's Sangh parivar leanings, keep in mind that he is father of Hadiya.They born & bought up her for 24 years and all of sudden they lost her! How their agony, misery and sufferings will be? Just keep us in his place and think, don’t we require little introspection?

Mr.Ashokan Miscerabley failed to prove his claim as said! now even the supereme court allowed Hadiya to meet Mr.Shafin Jahan! the above statement is out of his frustration he maight have said. Now a days it is very easy to paint some one as terrorist , and some as nationalist! media and some Govt. agency under RSS control anything may happen in future as they decide who is nationalist and who is anti national!

Every one misunderstood that accepting islam is just taking membership. Islam is way of Life proved scientifically and logically. It is just way of Life. any one can learn Islam and practise it. It is open and no body will force to accept islam. It is choice to practise Law defined by Our creator.  No body wil be a True Muslim unless he practice the way of life defined by creator. increasing membership in islam no use.  Every one should understand their creator and obey him. It is very simple and beautiful. If any one understand the principles of Islam. automatically he will attract. and identify his creator. Only our creator can read our mind  and understand true believer. by name we cannot say he is true beleiver.

"If thousands of crminals escape also no innocent should be punished"

 

"one should not eat full if neighbour is starving"

 

what a beautiful teaching. We pray Al mighty Allah shows right path for all human being.

How dare Asokan to call a man terrorist without a proof ? 

 

He has the rights to object to the marriage but, can't call a man terrorist.

 

Drag him to court of law for defamation.

SHRIMP.jpg

Mangaluru, Dec 7: A rare bamboo shrimp has been rediscovered on mainland India more than 70 years after it was last reported, confirming for the first time the presence of Atyopsis spinipes in the country. The find was made by researchers from the Centre for Climate Change Studies at Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai, during surveys in Karnataka and Odisha.

The team — shrimp expert Dr S Prakash, PhD scholar K Kunjulakshmi, and Mangaluru-based researcher Maclean Antony Santos — combined field surveys, ecological assessments and DNA analysis to identify the elusive species. Their findings, published in Zootaxa, resolve decades of taxonomic confusion stemming from a 1951 report that misidentified the species as Atyopsis moluccensis without strong evidence.

The shrimp has now been confirmed at two locations: the Mulki–Pavanje estuary near Mangaluru and the Kuakhai River in Bhubaneswar. Historical specimens from the Andaman Islands, previously labelled as A. moluccensis, were also found to be misidentified and actually belong to A. spinipes.

The rediscovery began after an aquarium hobbyist in Odisha spotted a shrimp in 2022, prompting systematic surveys across Udupi, Karwar and Mangaluru. Four female specimens were collected in Mulki and one in Odisha, all genetically matching.

Researchers warn the species may exist in very small, vulnerable populations as freshwater habitats face increasing pressure from pollution, sand mining and infrastructure development. All verified specimens have been deposited with the Zoological Survey of India for future reference.

Mangaluru, Dec 3: A group of Congress workers gathered at the Mangaluru International Airport on Wednesday to welcome AICC general secretary K C Venugopal, but the reception quickly turned into a display of support for Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar.

Venugopal arrived in the city to participate in the centenary commemoration of the historic dialogue between Mahatma Gandhi and Narayana Guru. The event, organised by the Sivagiri Mutt, Varkala, in association with the Mangalore University Sri Narayana Guru Study Chair, is being held on the university’s Konaje campus.

KPCC general secretary Mithun Rai and several party workers had assembled at the airport to receive Venugopal. However, the moment he stepped out, workers began raising slogans backing Shivakumar.

The university programme will be inaugurated by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.

This show of support comes just a day after Siddaramaiah remarked that Shivakumar would lead the government “when the high command decides.” The chief minister made the comment after a breakfast meeting at Shivakumar’s residence—another public display of camaraderie between the two leaders amid ongoing attempts by the party high command to downplay their leadership rivalry.
