'Will approach higher courts': Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind cleric on Saharanpur demolition
Digital Desk | Kanpur, Sep 11 (IANS) Amid a controversy over the demolition of a mosque in Uttar Pradesh's Saharanpur, Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind's state Vice President Maulana Aminul Haq Abdullah on Friday said that the organisation will approach the Allahabad High Court and, if required, even the Supreme Court, against the injustice. Speaking to IANS, the Muslim cleric termed the demolition of the mosque as otally unconstitutional. Due procedure of the court has not been followed, he maintained. A fresh political controversy erupted after an Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) team examined a nearly 20-foot-deep well discovered during debris removal at the site where the mosque was demolished inside the Saharanpur Collectorate premises. Regarding the discovery of the well, Maulana Abdullah said: In Islam, 'Wudu' (ritualistic purification) is performed before prayers, which involves washing the hands and face. Now submersible pumps, taps, etc., are available. In earlier times, wells were built in mosques for the ritual. People would draw water from the wells and perform 'Wudu'. Most mosques that are 100-150 years old will have a well. How has the presence of a well become proof that it was not a mosque? he asked. Abdullah claimed that the people there have the required documents for the structure. People whose ancestors owned the land have the required documents that serve as proof that the land was given by them for the construction of a mosque and for other purposes. Why were they not given the time and opportunity to submit those papers, and why were the arguments of the other side not heard? This is clearly injustice, he alleged. People cannot be fooled in the name of religion for a long time. The majority of the population in India have never accepted hatred and injustice in the past and will not do so in the future as well. The Muslim cleric further said: Our organisation and we will approach the High Court and if required, even the Supreme Court, regarding the matter. We are ready to fight against this injustice till wherever we can, he added.

Sar tan se juda slogan challenges Indias sovereignty, integrity: HC
In quashing the NSA order against student activist Akriti Chaudhary and censuring the officials responsible, the Allahabad High Court reaffirmed that civil servants owe their allegiance to the Constitution, not to political masters, echoing the founding vision of Sardar Patel and Ambedkar on the character of Indias civil services.

Mumbai, September 7 (IANS) Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar recalled a hilarious fan encounter involving megastar Amitabh Bachchan. The actor revealed how his starstruck house help once ended up spilling four glasses of water on the megastar's kurta. Akshay shared the amusing anecdote while appearing on the quiz reality show Kaun Banega Crorepati alongside his Haiwaan co-star Saif Ali Khan. The incident took place when Bachchan had once visited Akshays home in Lokhandwala, Mumbai, during the actors stay there. Recalling the incident, Akshay told Bachchan, Sir, aapko yaad hai jab aap mere ghar pe aaye the? Main Lokhandwala ki baat kar raha hoon, jab main wahan rehta tha. (Sir, do you remember when you came to my house? I am talking about Lokhandwala, when I used to live there.) He then narrated how a house help had been asked to offer water to Bachchan. Jo mera ghar kaam karte hain, unhone inko paani dena tha. Toh paani dene ke liye teen-chaar glass pade the. Mujhe achhi tarah se yaad hain, Sir ne kurta pehna tha aur woh ladka Allahabad ka tha. (The person who worked at my house had to give you some water. There were three or four glasses kept there. I remember it very clearly. Sir was wearing a kurta and that boy was from Allahabad.) Akshay said the house help was so overwhelmed at seeing Bachchan that he could barely process what was happening. Woh inko dekhkar, matlab vishwas nahi hua ki main Amitabh ji ko ek glass paani de raha hoon. Toh woh paani leke aaya. Paani leke aaya, chaar glass the aur woh chaaron ke chaar glass unhone inke kurte par phenk diya, kyunki woh dekh hi nahi saka. (He looked at you and simply couldnt believe that he was actually giving Amitabh ji a glass of water. So he came over with the water. There were four glasses, and he ended up throwing all four glasses on your kurta because he was so stunned that he couldnt even see properly.) The anecdote left Bachchan, Saif and filmmaker Priyadarshan, who was present in the audience, in splits. Akshay went on to recall how Bachchans height meant that he had to lend him his own kurta after the mishap. Ab main yeh soch raha hoon ki abhi kya ho gaya. Sir obviously bahut lambe hain, toh mujhe apna kurta dena pada taaki yeh unke shirt ke hisaab se aa sakein. Toh mujhe achhi tarah yaad hai. Woh ladke ka naam yaad nahi aa raha hai. (I was thinking, what has happened? Sir is obviously very tall, so I had to give you my kurta so that it would fit you. I remember that very clearly. I just cant remember that boys name now) Talking about Akshay Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan, the two have shared screen space in the movie, Waqt which also starred Boman Irani, Shefali Shah, Priyanka Chopra, Rajpal Yadav. They essayed the role of father and son in the movie.
