The police destroyed the small house of Wakeel Hasanin Khajuri Khas, a densely populated neighbourhood in New Delhi, on February 28, 2024.
Who is Wakeel Hasan? Hasan is a poor man but only three months ago he along with his team of rat-hole miners did a tremendous job. His team was called to Uttarakhand after professional rescuers armed with tunnel drilling machines repeatedly failed to reach the trapped workers. Hasan along with his team worked literally with hand for 26 hours and at last succeeded in saving the lives of 41 persons trapped there.
The rat-hole miners received national recognition for their feat, including praise from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and a selfie with Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan. Cash awards were announced and TV channels interviewed Hasan and his team of rat miners for days.
But three months later the police destroyed their single-floored, two-bedroom house. Once a national hero is now breathing as a homeless person on the street. This is how his life turned upside down.

‘I do not agree with Shree Chagla’
I beg to invite your kind attention to an editorial published in the Organiser, New Delhi titled “Truth Vs Tyranny: Litmus Test For Bharatiya Muslims” vide issue of February 11, 2024. The editorial quotes Justice Mohammadali Carim Chagla, as having said,“We are all Hindus by race”, (Original Source: Bhavan’s Journal, Volume 30, No. 1, August 1-15 1983, p. 96)
In this context it is to state that Shree Chagla is neither a Prophet nor an expert in Islamic theology and hence his interpretation is not acceptable to all Muslims. Secondly, the word ‘Hindu’ indicates followers of Sanatan religion which excludes Semitic religions. Thirdly,Chagla’s interpretation is acceptable to Hindu Rightists only.
I, Farooq AbdulgaffarBawani, do not agree with Shree Chaglaand his tribe.

Joe Biden, now known as ‘Genocide Joe’
It is becoming clear that President of the United States Joe Biden, now known as ‘Genocide Joe’ by the protestors, who are coming out on the streets in their thousands, that he will lose the Presidential election in November this year. Especially the swing states who have already decided that they will not vote for Biden, to teach him a lesson for his unconditional support for the Zionist lobby.
But if the Democratic party loses, the other option would be the Republicans, meaning Trump.
But the masses, if left with no choice, will have to choose the lesser evil.
