Mangaluru, Dec 13: With regards to the death of four members of the same family which occurred few days ago and subsequent arrest of Noor Jahan on the accusation of trying to convert the deceased woman to Islam, Shaheeda Tasnim, president of Women India Movement (WIM) said that the accusation and arrest is politically motivated.
Giving statement on the subject, Tasnim said, “Noor Jahan who is arrested in this case did not try to convert the deceased woman to Islam. This is a politically motivated false accusation. She tried to help the family of deceased Vijayalaxmi on humanitarian grounds. However, the police have registered a case on Noor Jahan owing to pressure from politicians and Sangh Parivar.
“Nagesh, husband of deceased Viajayalaxmi, whose relationship with her was not good, might have falsely accused Noor Jahan out of vengeance. The police department should carry out a comprehensive investigation on this matter.
“The police department has projected Nagesh, who mercilessly killed wife and children, as innocent. Noor Jahan does not have any background of propagating the Islam faith. Vested interests are targeting Muslim and Christian communities in the name of religious conversion. The police department has to carry out an impartial inquiry in this case.
“Police department should stop harassing Noor Jahan with the lame excuse of death note. She should be released immediately,” she said.
