A misfortune caused by a natural disaster turns into a patent case of injustice when human and political factors exacerbate the suffering
As the second wave of the pandemic wreaks havoc across the country, there is now ample documentation of how the government let its guard down and declared victory against the virus too early, disregarding scientific advice and data. The virus hit back with deadlier mutant variations. The pandemic was unavoidable, but its fallout could have been prevented.
Somnath, March 17
Gujarat Police on Wednesday detained a man at Panipat in Haryana for allegedly hurting religious sentiments by hailing Mahmud of Ghazni, known for plundering the Somnath Temple in Gujarat, and Arab invader Mohammad bin Qasim, an official said.
A video recently surfaced on social media in which the accused, identified as Irshad Rashid, was purportedly heard recalling the temple s plunder by Mahmud, and praising him and bin Qasim, said Prabhas Patan police station s in-charge inspector D D Parmar.
The video was shot more than a year ago on a mobile phone from about half-a-kilometre away from the renowned Somnath Temple in the Gir Somnath district of Gujarat.
