A two-member Uttar Pradesh Minority Commission that went to Bareilly to investigate into the fatwa and other issues against triple talaq crusader Nida Khan has asked district officials to provide security.
Official sources said that the state Minority commission members— Kunwar Iqbal Haider and Rummana Siddique— on the directive of the chairman Tanveer Haider Usmani went to Bareilly and investigated into the security threat of Nida Khan following a fatwa by the local cleric.
The team met the district officials at the circuit house and then met Nida Khan at her residence to know about her problems of ‘triple talaq’ and ‘halala’.
Talking to media Kunwar Iqbal Haider said security has been provided to the victim and the authorities have been asked to act on the complaint of Nida Khan against the illegal fatwa issued against her. “The other women who are victim of ‘halala’, are free to lodge complaint with the police,” he said.
last week, a cleric at an influential seminary here had put out a fatwa against Nida Khan for raising voice against ‘triple talaq’ and ‘Halala’.
“No medicines, no prayers, no grave for Nida Khan”, the cleric has ordered in his fatwa.
The the fatwa from the clerics against Nida Khan came when she went to the police station along with a women to lodge FIR over Halala.
Nida Khan received a boost when a local court rejected the petition of her husband Sheeran Raza Khan who challenged the case against him and his family of harassment and domestic violence as he had already given her talaq.
ACJM (first) Siyaram Chourasia in his verdict on Wednesday said that the case against Sheeran Raza Khan and his family members would continue. The court maintained that even after talaq and paying of Meher and other money,the case of harassment and domestic violence would continue.
