Mob attack on meat traders in Aligarh sparks outrage
Agra: Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind president Maulana Mahmood Madani strongly condemned the mob assault on four meat traders from a minority community in Aligarh, calling the incident "barbaric and a blot" on the nation's conscience. The victims, accused of transporting beef, were allegedly carrying valid documentation proving otherwise, yet were stripped and brutally beaten. The incident occurred on Saturday afternoon in Alahdadpur village under Harduaganj police limits, when the traders — Nadeem, Aqeel, Arbaz, and Qadeem — were intercepted while transporting meat from a licensed factory in Roravar. The mob allegedly overturned the vehicle, scattered the meat on the road, and beat the four men with belts and sticks, leaving them bloodied. "Such acts of vigilante justice, especially when fuelled by religious bias, are eroding faith in law enforcement and disrupting communal harmony," said Maulana Madani. "Suspicion can never justify violence." Police struggled to disperse the crowd as locals blocked the road, raised religious slogans, and disrupted public order. "The meat was being transported to licensed shops," said SP (Rural) Amrit Jain. "The injured are being treated, and a sample has been sent to the forensic lab for testing. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Strict action will be taken."

They extended moral and legal aid and submitted a report to the organisation's general secretary, Maulana Hakimuddin Qasmi. The report confirmed the victims were licensed meat traders and that their documents were ignored by the mob.

BJP slams Jamiat chief for questioning suspension of Indus Waters Treaty with Pakistan
BJP's national spokesperson, Shahnawaz Hussain, slammed Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind president Arshad Madani for questioning the practicality of stopping river water flows to Pakistan. The BJP leader claimed that there was anger among members of the Muslim community over the Jamiat chief's statement. 'I condemn this statement. This is a very objectionable statement. Pakistan can conduct a blood bath, and we can't even stop their water? What kind of advice is this? He is saying there shouldn't be a is anger amongst the Muslim community also, for the kind of statement made by Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind,' Hussain told ANI. Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind president Arshad Madani questioned the practicality of the Indus Waters Treaty move, saying that stopping river water flow to Pakistan won't be easy. 'If someone stops water, let them stop it... These rivers have been flowing for thousands of years, where will you take their water? It's not easy. I think the rule should be one of love and not hatred. I am a Muslim, I am spending my life here in this country, and I know that the things which are being promoted here are not suitable for the country,' Madani said. After the Centre suspended the IWT, Jal Shakti minister CR Paatil said that India would not allow a 'single drop' of water to flow into Pakistan as a retaliation against its role in the Pahalgam terrorist attack. HT reported on Monday that authorities are expected to swiftly complete all technical requirements for the proposed Sawalkot project—likely to be the largest project—on the river Chenab in Ramban and Udhampur districts of J&K. 'The plans to create additional power generation include projects that will be commissioned at Sawalkot (1,856 MW), Pakal Dul (1,000 MW), Ratle (850 MW), Bursar (800 MW), Kiru (624 MW), Kirthai 1 and 2 (1,320 MW) hydropower projects, which will be fully synchronisable with the national grid,' an official said. The project is part of plans to create nearly 12 gigawatts (GW) of additional hydropower from new projects on the Indus rivers. India also cut off water flow to Pakistan from the Baglihar dam on the Chenab River and is also preparing to taper down runoffs from the Kishanganga project on the Jhelum River. Under the IWT, Pakistan has exclusive rights to use the water of the Chenab, Jhelum, and Indus rivers, with India allowed a few exceptions.

'Where will you take water of these rivers?': Jamiat chief Arshad Madani on suspension of Indus treaty
Arshad Madani NEW DELHI: Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind chief Arshad Madani on Sunday appeared to doubt the feasibility of the government's suspension of a river water treaty with Pakistan . Madani said rivers have been flowing for "thousands of years" and questioned where the water of these rivers will go. Following the recent attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam by Pakistan-backed terrorists, the government took various measures against Pakistan. The steps include suspending the Indus Waters agreement signed in 1960. "If someone stops water, let them stop it... These rivers have been flowing for thousands of years, where will you take their water? It's not easy," news agency ANI quoted Madani as saying. Madani further suggested that there should be a "rule of love," and not hatred. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your Finger Shape Says a Lot About Your Personality, Read Now Tips and Tricks Undo "The rule should be of love and not hatred.

Pakistan has called suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty by India an "act of war." The country's politicians have been making provocative remarks on the subject. "Modi has unilaterally decided to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty, under which India had acknowledged that the Indus belongs to Pakistan. I want to tell India that the Indus is ours and will remain ours. Either water will flow in this Indus, or their blood will," Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Pakistan Peoples Party chief and ex-foreign minister, said days after India suspended the agreement. On Sunday, Pakistan's defence minister, Khawaja Asif, vowed his country would target "any structure" India builds on the Indus River. "Certainly, if they (India) attempt to build any kind of structure, we will strike it. Aggression is not just about firing cannons or bullets; it has many faces. One of those faces is [blocking or diverting water], which could lead to deaths due to hunger and thirst. But for now, we are heading to forums available to us, starting from the Indus Waters Treaty," Asif told Geo News.
