Owaisi blames BJP for mob desecrating tomb in Fatehpur, alleges environment of hatred against Muslims in UP
Hyderabad parliamentarian Asaduddin Owaisi blamed the 'atmosphere of hatred created by the BJP' that led to a mob desecrating the tomb of Nawab Abdul Samad in Fatehpur. Mr. Owaisi, who is the president of the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen, while speaking to the media alleged that anti-social elements belonging to Hindutva groups, have been enjoying a free run in states like Uttar Pradesh. He further alleged such miscreants remain unchecked when they attack any site connected to the Muslim community. 'This is a result of the environment of hatred that the BJP has created. Especially in UP, they have a free run. Anything connected to Muslim culture, or history, any religious place, you are permitted to attack it, and take law in your hands. And the UP government will close its eyes and ears,' he said. He questioned why the police did not play a proactive role in stopping these miscreants. 'In the presence of police, graves are being destroyed and vandalised, and police does nothing. If the same people were from the Muslim community, then imagine what would have happened?' Mr. Owaisi claimed that 'the use of law' is based on religion and political ideology. 'This is a conspicuous example of the hatred against Muslims and to oppress them,' he said. 'What is astha then? Your astha is neither in rule of law, nor to keep the peace. You have one agenda, whether it be in Assam or UP, you want to target Muslims. You want to use bulldozers and render them homeless, or attack masjids or dargahs,' he said.

Tired of waiting for repairs, UP residents hold 'tehravi' for broken Hakikat Nagar road
Saharanpur , Fed up with a year-long delay in repairs, residents here held a "memorial service" for their broken road on Tuesday. Tired of waiting for repairs, UP residents hold 'tehravi' for broken Hakikat Nagar road The unusual protest was announced a day earlier on social media with a tongue-in-cheek obituary: "With deep sorrow, we inform you that our beloved Hakikat Nagar Road departed for its heavenly abode last year, as per the wishes of the municipal corporation. "A condolence meeting for the eternal peace of this road's soul will be held on August 12, 2025, Tuesday. "Bereaved: all traders and residents of Hakikat Nagar, as well as the grieving contractor, tender company, municipal corporation, and political leaders." On Tuesday, locals gathered for the "tehravi" with a large photograph of the road, covered it with a white sheet, and offered floral tributes. Women, senior citizens and traders joined in, treating the event with the trappings of an actual condolence meeting. Hakikat Nagar Vyapar Mandal president Amit Sethi told PTI that the road, connecting the Collectorate to the Civil Courts, was being built under the Chief Minister's Grid Scheme for the past 10 months. But on July 31, work was abruptly halted after the construction company was blacklisted for allegedly failing to meet quality standards. "When we raised the issue with the mayor and officials, they assured us that within eight days they would provide an alternative arrangement for the sewage water that's backing up and laying a thin layer on the road so that children, women, and the elderly don't get injured. They also promised to remove the construction debris. But after ten days, with no sign of work, we had no choice but to organise this condolence meeting," Sethi said. He added that the road is a key route, regularly used by the district magistrate, SSP, and tehsildar, yet it has been neglected despite a budget of over ₹20 crore being sanctioned.

Over 8.33 lakh National Disability Pension Scheme beneficiaries in country, 20,000 from Telangana
The cap on the number of beneficiaries of the Indira Gandhi National Disability Pension Scheme (IGNDPS) in Telangana stands at 20,578 and the total number of beneficiaries across the country is 8,33,571, according to a response of the Ministry of Rural Development supplied to Hyderabad parliamentarian Asaduddin Owaisi. Mr. Owaisi, who is the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen president, sought information on the number of persons with disabilities who are beneficiaries of the scheme, the eligibility criteria, and the reason why the scheme covers on those with 80%, or more, disability. He also sought to know the pension amount and whether there are any proposals to increase the Union Government's share in contribution. The Union Government stated that the scheme was introduced in 2009 as a part of the National Social Assistance Programme. Those from below poverty line households and having multiple or severe disabilities are eligible for disability assistance. However, it is the Union Territory and State government's responsibility to identify most vulnerable persons for coverage.
