  • Turkish women defy ban on protests, stage ‘Feminist Night March’

    Turkish women defy ban on protests, stage ‘Feminist Night March’

    [ad_1]

    Istanbul: Turkish women have defied a ban on protests and staged an annual march called “Feminist Night March” in Istanbul’s Taksim Square to mark International Women’s Day.

    Although the police allowed the protesters on Wednesday night to carry on with their march for a while, later they used tear gas to disperse them, reports the BBC.

    Several people were also detained.

    The women had gathered in the city’s Istiklal Street despite the ban imposed by the Beyoglu district governor’s office for all kinds of demonstrations and marches in the area, including the women’s day march.

    Marking International Women’s Day, the main opposition Republican People’s Party earlier in the day released a report which said that more than 600 women had been killed in Turkey by men since 2021, when President Recep Tayyip Erdogan withdrew the country from the Istanbul Convention — a treaty that aimed to combat domestic violence.

    In a statement titled “we are sorry, we are angry”, the march organiser criticised the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) for failing to handle a range of crises and problems including ongoing economic deterioration, the coronavirus pandemic, the February 6 earthquakes that claimed more than 46,000 lives, and increasing racism and promoting LGBT+ hatred and patriarchy, reports the Turkish Minute news website.

    It said that women are determined to continue their fight against patriarchy, homophobia, transphobia, exploitation of labour and capitalism.

    The women at the march also chanted slogans calling on the government to resign.

    “We are not going to be silent, we will not be intimidated, and we are not obeying you,” they said.

    Every year, thousands of women gather in Taksim Square for the “Feminist Night March”, which marks the continuation of the world-famous “Reclaim the Night” movement, despite bans from authorities and police violence and detention.

  • Woman kills self on same night husband commits suicide in Delhi

    Woman kills self on same night husband commits suicide in Delhi

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: A 32-year-old woman allegedly killed herself on the same night her husband committed suicide at their south Delhi home, police said on Thursday.

    The couple has been identified as Ajaypal Singh Orgay (37) and Monika. They lived in Transit Camp Hudco Place, they said.

    Ajaypal worked as an operation officer in the Directorate General of Civil Aviation cell.

    The police received a PCR call regarding a possible suicide at a flat in Block-3A, Transit Camp Hudco Place, at 2.49 am. The call was made by Ajaypal’s friend Ashish Tiwari, a resident of Mahavir Enclave in Palam.

    When the police reached the spot, they found Monika lying unconscious with froth oozing from her mouth. She was taken to Safdarjung Hospital, where she was declared dead, Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Chandan Chowdhary said.

    Her neighbours revealed that Ajaypal allegedly committed suicide earlier in the night. He was an operation officer at the Directorate General of Civil Aviation cell near Jor Bagh metro station, Chowdhary said.

    Monika had allegedly found Ajaypal in an unconscious state and taken him to a hospital, where he was declared dead. Later, she came home, consumed a poisonous substance and killed herself, the police said.

    The couple got married on November 26.

    No suicide note was recovered from the house and no foul play is suspected, the police said.

    Their neighbours told the police that they used to have frequent arguments.

    Ajaypal’s elder brother Yogendrapal said he last spoke to him on Wednesday.

    “They used to fight often over petty issues. My brother used to tell me about their fights. I spoke to him around 1 pm on Wednesday when he was in office. He told me that everything was going smoothly.

    “I asked him to come home on Holi so that we could talk to them. When I was speaking to him, everything seemed fine and I did not have any idea that he would take such a step,” Yogendrapal said.

    BS Ghritlehare, his brother-in-law, said he received a call from Yogendrapal, telling him to reach Delhi.

    “I am posted with Chhattisgarh Police and received a call from Yogendrpal about the incident. He lives in Mumbai and asked me to reach Delhi as soon as possible.

    “The couple used to have petty fights and I spoke to them several times. Everyone is shocked by them ending their lives,” Ghritlehare said.

    Monika’s brother said, “We were at home in Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh) when we got to know about the incident. We reached Delhi in the morning.

    “She was my younger sister. Everything was going fine before this. Had we got any intimation about any issue, we would have immediately come.”

  • Muslims observe Shab-e-Me’raj—The night of ascent today

    Muslims observe Shab-e-Me’raj—The night of ascent today

    [ad_1]

    By Liyaqat Ali Khan

    The history of Islam is rich with miracles that took place during the life of Prophet Muhammad.

    Among the various miracles of Prophet Muhammad, one of the most renowned incidents is of Isra and Me’raj. It is an incident where Prophet Muhammad ascended heaven at night and met Allah, the Almighty.

    The event of Isra and Me’raj took place on the 27th night of the Islamic month of Rajab. Almighty Allah sent Archangel Gabriel to the Prophet to bring him up to the heavens. First, the Prophet was taken to Masjid al-Aqsa in Jerusalem and from there he ascended to the skies and the journey began.

    “Isra” means walking at night and “Me’raj” means to “ascend”. Therefore, the Isra and Me’raj events that are one and the same represent the whole journey of the Prophet from his house to the higher skies and the return.

    In the Quran, Allah says: “Glory to (Allah) Who did take His Servant for Journey by night from the Sacred Mosque to the Farthest Mosque whose precincts We did bless – in order that We might show him some of Our Signs: for He is the one Who heareth and seeth (all things).”

    The Prophet was carried physically from the Sacred Mosque in Makkah to the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem on a mount (a flying horse-like creature) called Al-Buraq in the company of Angel Gabriel. There the Prophet led all the other prophets in prayer.

    “While he (Prophet Muhammad) was at the highest part of the horizon and came closer to Almighty he was at a distance of only two bow-lengths or (even) nearer. So did (Allah) convey the inspiration to His Servant what He (meant) to convey. Prophet’s mind and heart in no way falsified what he saw… Will ye then dispute with him concerning what he saw? For indeed he saw Him at a second descent. Near the Lote tree beyond which none may pass: near it is the Garden of Abode. Behold, the Lote tree was shrouded (in mystery unspeakable!) (His) sight never swerved nor did it go wrong! For truly did he see of the Signs of His Lord the Greatest.” (The Qur’an)

    This verse refers to the peak of Me’raj where Prophet Muhammad met Allah Almighty in person.

    There are other major things that happened on the night of Isra and Me’raj.

    One of the major happenings of the night of Me’raj is of Prophet Muhammad meeting various Prophets while ascending to higher skies.

    When Prophet Muhammad met Almighty Allah, besides other things the one thing that Allah spoke about to Prophet was about the daily prayers known as Salath or Namaz. Allah made the five prayers compulsory for Muslims, although they were fifty in the beginning.

    In addition, the Prophet also visited paradise and hell during the Me’raj.

    To sum up, the importance of the night of Me’raj is one of the most revered nights for Muslims. The journey of the Prophet is looked upon as one of the greatest miracles that Allah Almighty provided to Prophet Muhammad.

  • Will consider the question of rehabilitation, says SC on night shelter demolition

    Will consider the question of rehabilitation, says SC on night shelter demolition

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Wednesday said it will now have to examine the rehabilitation issue, after it was informed about the demolition carried out by authorities of a night shelter located at Delhi’s Sarai Kale Khan earlier in the day.

    Advocate Prashant Bhushan mentioned the matter before a bench of Justices Hrishikesh Roy and Dipankar Datta, saying that the night shelter, being availed of by over 50 people, has been demolished and that authorities carried out the demolition at 10 a.m.

    The bench said if the night shelter has been demolished, then it would have to examine the question of rehabilitation.

    Bhushan had mentioned the matter while the bench was in the middle of hearing a case. After the hearing of the case was over, Bhushan said that authorities have come there with bulldozers and the homeless matter is pending before this court, and this issue is about a night shelter for homeless people.

    He contended that without providing alternative accommodation, a night shelter is being demolished by the authorities. Bhushan said matter regarding homeless people is scheduled to be taken up by the court on February 22 and his application on the issue pertaining to demolition of night shelter at Sarai Kale Khan may be heard along with it.

    The bench told Bhushan it could hear the matter on February 22, and asked him to incorporate the subsequent developments in the matter.

    Recently, the Delhi Police had asked the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB) to shift the Sarai Kale Khan night shelter before the scheduled G20 summit in September, in view of concerns that it is being used by criminals and miscreants.
