Bareilly: A two-member committee of the UP Minority Commission which is looking into the fatwa against triple talaq victim Nida Khan has said that prima facie it appears that injustice has been done to the woman.Rumana Siddiqui, one of the committee members, said, “Nobody has the right to dismiss anyone from Islam. Any person who reads kalima with devotion can embrace Islam. In India, we follow the Indian law and Constitution. If they want to run Sharia courts, they shouldn’t only talk about property disputes and talaq, but should also talk about other crimes such as rape and murder. The fatwa issued against Nida Khan is illegal according to the Indian law.”Meanwhile, Nida has told the minority panel that she does not trust Bareilly police as they have been supporting her husband’s family from the very beginning. She said that she is worried that her father and brother may have to face the consequences of her actions.Another member of the minority panel, Kunwar Iqbal Haider, said, “We have spoken to Nida, her husband Sheeran Raza Khan, her in-laws, clerics at Dargah Aala Hazrat, police and administration. We have recorded their statements and have taken relevant documents from them. It is a fact that injustice has been done to her. We will submit our report to the chairperson of the commission in Lucknow on Friday after which a decision will be taken in the matter.”Asked if an FIR will be lodged against the cleric who issued the fatwa, Haider said, “The commission will take appropriate action and the law of the land will prevail.”On the orders of the minority panel, police have tightened the triple talaq victim’s security by providing her two gunners. “I have decided to submit a written complaint with police against the fatwa on Friday. Though more security has been provided to me, I am concerned about the impact of the fatwa on my father and brother. What will happen when they go to the local mosque to offer prayers on Friday? From the very beginning, police have been biased and have supported my husband because he comes from an influential family,” Nida said.The fatwa issued against Nida on Monday had called for her social boycott by other members of the community.
