• Thursday | 27th June, 2019

New Delhi: Delhi Waqf Board chairman and AAP legislator Amanatullah Khan on Thursday announced the body will give assistance of Rs five lakh to the wife of Tabrez Ansari who was allegedly lynched on suspicion of theft in Jharkhand a few days ago. “Waqf Board will give the wife of Tabrez Ansari a sum of Rs five lakh. Tabrez, 22, succumbed to his injuries on Sunday after being beaten up by locals in Saraikela Kharsawanand district in Jharkhand. But some people in the Rajya Sabha are calling Jharkhand a hub of lynching. None of us has the right to insult Jharkhand,” Modi said in his reply to the motion of thanks to the President’s address in Rajya Sabha on Wednesday.
