INL Leader Threatens To “Cut Off Sacred Hindu Threads” Over Hijab; Arrested

Amid the Karnataka Hijab Row, J Rahim, the state unit president of the Indian National League (INL), made a surprising post on his social media account a week ago, asking for a protest “cutting off the holy threads” of Hindus. The INL leader was detained in the state on Friday after a major response to the inflammatory remarks. Rahim was arraigned before the CCB Special Court and put in custody for 15 days, according to reports.
Rahim threatened right-wing organizations in a social media post that if they try to annoy Muslims, the INL will protest by seizing their precious religious threads, and he also asked others to join a demonstration.
According to reports, Veer Vasanthakumar of the Hindu Mahasabha Trust filed a complaint after his post sparked a major controversy, and the police then registered a case against Rahim under Sections 153 (provocation to riot), 505 (2) (conducting public mischief), and 505 (1) (c) (causing communal disharmony) of the Indian Penal Code.
The Karnataka High Court has decided on the hijab case.
On Friday, the Karnataka High Court finished the hearing in the ‘hijab’ (scarf) case but deferred its decision. “Heard. The order has been placed, “According to Chief Justice Ritu Raj Awasthi. The court requested that the petitioners submit any written representations to the Bench.
The Panel, which was formed on February 9 and consists of the Chief Justice, Justice Krishna S Dixit, and Justice Jaibunnisa M Khazi, has been hearing a series of petitions filed by some girls seeking permission to wear the hijab in educational institutions where a uniform is required on a day-to-day basis for the past two weeks.
The state of Karnataka has issued an order prohibiting the wearing of the clothing that violates the principles of “equality and honesty.”
The Karnataka government issued an order earlier this month prohibiting the wearing of the clothing that threatens equality, integrity, or public order. According to the order issued by the state government, “Invoking Section 133 (2) of the Karnataka Education Act of 1983, which mandates the wearing of a uniform type of clothing. The management of a private school is free to select their uniform.”
“If the administrative committee does not choose a uniform, clothing that disrupts equality, integrity, or public law and order shall not be worn,” the decree continued.

Commuters Are Severely Impacted By The Severe Bus Shortage At NMMT’s Ghansoli Depot

There is a severe bus shortage at NMMT’s Ghansoli Depot, severely impacting commuters.
The Shortage
The Navi Mumbai Municipal Transport (NMMT) Ghansoli depot is facing a severe crisis, with over 50% of its fleet rendered non-operational due to poor maintenance and technical failures. The situation has led to significant inconvenience for daily commuters who rely on these services.
According to sources, out of the 114 buses in the depot’s fleet, as many as 75 are currently out of service. These buses have been grounded due to various technical issues, including engine failure, gear defects, and chassis cracks. As a result, only 39 buses are operational, of which eight are reserved for school students, leaving a mere 31 buses for public transport.
Commuters have raised concerns about the reliability and safety of the remaining operational buses, fearing mechanical failures due to inadequate maintenance. A Ghansoli resident voiced concerns about the potential risks posed by the poorly maintained buses.
NMMT General Manager Yogesh Kaduskar acknowledged the crisis and assured commuters that efforts are underway to repair and restore as many buses as possible. “We are working towards ensuring that maximum buses are repaired soon and brought on the road to serve commuters,” Kaduskar stated.
With limited buses available, passengers are struggling with overcrowding and increased waiting times. Many are urging NMMT to expedite repairs and improve fleet maintenance to restore normalcy to public transport in the region.
