The murder of two young boys, Ayush (13) and Ahan (8), in the Badaun district of Uttar Pradesh has sent shockwaves across the country. The minors were slaughtered by one Mohammad Sajid, accompanied by Mohammad Javed, in the most brutal manner possible. The accused, Sajid, who butchered the minors, allegedly drank their blood as well. Following the killing, Sajid was killed in the police encounter, whereas Javed was arrested from Bareilly on March 21.
Notably, there are different reactions to this shocking murder amidst claims that the perpetrators had kept Roza as Ramzan is going on. Many called out the people in huge numbers who had assembled at the funeral procession of the accused, Sajid.
A Hindu activist from Ghaziabad filed a complaint against the founder of Islam, Prophet Muhammad, on March 21, demanding action against him and the followers of the Islamic religious text Quran.
‘Badaun is the beginning of Ghazwa…’
Anil Yadav commonly referred to as Chhote Narsinghanand and a member of the Shiv Shakti Dham Dasna, has made this complaint. As per the complaint, ‘All the killings, rapes and looting done by Islamists over the last 1400 years are inspired by the Quran and justified in the name of Mal-e-Ganimat by the founder of Islam, Prophet Muhammad. All the Islamists imply the same teachings as provided in the Quran to slaughter Hindus over the years.’
The complaint further reads, ‘The killings of Hindu boys in Badaun is nothing but the beginning of ‘Ghazwa-e-Hind’ which was the dream of the founder of Islam. This act has hurt my sentiments and hence FIR should be registered against Prophet Muhammad to save hundreds of Hindus from Ghazwa-e-Hind.’
Yadav gave this complaint at the Wave City police station of the Ghazbaiad district.
Mahamandaleshwar Yati Narsinghanand was reportedly detained while en route to Jama Masjid to discuss the Ghazwa-e-Hind issue, raised by Anil Yadav in his complaint.
In 2021, Shiv Shakti Dham of Dasna gained attention due to Yati Narsinghanand. Now, Anil Yadav, also known as Chhote Narsinghanand, has filed a similar complaint at the same location. The outcome of Yadav’s complaint is uncertain, with a possibility that it may not advance further.
“I am doing this to save my kids from Ghazwa..”
In conversation with Organiser on March 22, Yadav said, Darul Uloom Deoband has recently justified Ghazwa-e-Hind with a fatwa. The fatwa validates ‘Ghazwa-e-Hind’ and allegedly glorifies “martyrdom in the context of India’s invasion”.
As per reports, on February 22, 2024, Darul Uloom Deoband issued a fatwa that gave validity to the idea of Ghazwa-e-Hind. The seminary has written on its website that “Ghazwa-e-Hind” (read holy raid of Bharat) is “valid from the Islamic point of view”.
He said Ghazwa means taking control of land by killing all the kaffirs and snatching their women, children and wealth in the name of Maal-e-Ganimat. Those killing Kaffirs will be rewarded with the throne of Ghazwa and those killed will be called Shaeed, this is the plan.
The Badaun incident has rung the bell of Ghazwa-e-Hind and the Islamists killed minor boys and also drank their blood. All such cruelty has been mentioned in the Quran only. The same book was written and promoted by the Prophet, hence he should be booked.
Not a single Hindu Sadhu comes forward to call this out but Dasna will.
He added, “I am doing this for my children and to protect my family from this Ghazwa mob. I want to be secure and hence, the Quran should be banned or action should be taken against those who follow it.”
Demands to ban Quran in past
It is pertinent to mention that, in 1985, Chandmal Chopra and Sheetal Singh, two lawyers, initiated legal proceedings at the Calcutta High Court aimed at banning the Quran. Their petition, filed on March 29, 1985, under Article 226 of the Indian Constitution, urged the court to instruct the government to confiscate all copies of the Quran.
The basis of their petition was rooted in Sections 153A and 295A of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), arguing that every copy of the Quran could be seized under Section 95 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC). Chopra and Singh highlighted concerns about passages advocating violence against non-believers, referencing a verse that proclaimed, “When the holy months are over, kill idol-worshippers wherever they are found.”
Following the petition to ban the Quran, Islamist protests erupted, sparking anti-Hindu riots in India and Bangladesh. Thousands of Muslims gathered, causing chaos outside the Indian High Commission in Bangladesh, resulting in 12 deaths and 100 injuries, all Hindus. Similar riots broke out in Dhaka, Kashmir, Bihar, and other places.
The West Bengal government staunchly defended the Quran, stating that it cannot be altered. The CPI(M)-led government argued that the court had no authority to pass judgment on the Quran, emphasising its sacredness to Muslims worldwide.
The petition faced intense political pressure, leading to its transfer to different courts. Ultimately, the petition was dismissed on May 17, 1985. A review petition was filed on June 18, only to be dismissed later that month. Chandramal Chopra and Sita Ram Goel authored a book titled ‘The Calcutta Quran Petition’ in 1986, leading to Chopra’s arrest, while Goel evaded capture by fleeing.
