This refers to the column “GIO Slur” (Radiance 14-20 April). It was 30 March when a Mumbai based Marathi daily, Samna, the mouthpiece of Shiv Sena, published a report regarding GIO with the headline “Beware of female terrorists in the country.” The report was extremely condemnable, reprehensible and ridiculous. It was very far from ground reality to accuse the only Muslim girls’ organisation in the country. The Muslim community especially the parent organisation of the GIO, Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, should make the daily publish an apology in the same newspaper for publishing the irresponsible news and take strict action against the correspondent. The JIH should take strong notice of thesefallacious propaganda to put an end to the prejudice against the Muslim community.
