RAJIV NAYAN AGRAWAL

ARA-------------------------Today, disruptive Muslim youth are burning national property and injuring passersby by throwing stones in protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act. Educated and uneducated Muslims alike are unwilling to understand that the Citizenship Amendment Act will not adversely affect the interests of Indian Muslim citizens; their citizenship will remain secure. But why blame only Muslim organizations and Muslims? National and regional parties like the Congress, SP, BSP, AAP, Trinamool Congress, and RJD are poisoning the atmosphere, with anti-national organizations like the Bhim Army, the "Tukde Tukde Gang," and left-wing journalists leaving no stone unturned... Some are shouting slogans against Mother India from Jama Masjid, others from Jantar Mantar.... Plans have been made until January 2020 to burn the country under the guise of the Citizenship Amendment Act.

Many such challenges arise in the democratic journey of any country... Many such challenges arose during the freedom movement as well... The discussion is about the insecurity and fear prevalent among Muslims, which is based on a baseless misconception regarding the Citizenship Amendment Act....

Today is the martyrdom anniversary of the Kakori martyrs: Ram Prasad Bismil, Ashfaqulla Khan, and Thakur Roshan Singh, that is, December 19th... On this very day in 1927, these three revolutionaries were hanged by the cruel British in different jails in Faizabad and Gorakhpur without being given a proper opportunity for a fair trial.

It is a historical fact that the judgment in the Kakori case was pronounced on April 6, 1926... But until then, Ashfaqulla Khan had not been arrested. As a result, a supplementary case was filed after his arrest on December 13, 1926.... Many temptations were offered to Ashfaqulla Khan....!

One day, the CID police superintendent, Khan Bahadur Tasadduq Hussain, went to the jail to meet Ashfaq and advised him to become a government witness to avoid the death penalty. When Ashfaq ignored his advice, he took Ashfaq aside and explained to him privately: "Look, Ashfaq Bhai! You are also a Muslim, and by the grace of Allah, I am also a Muslim, that's why I am warning you. These Ram Prasad Bismil and others are all Hindus. They want to establish a Hindu kingdom here. Why are you so determined to waste your life by getting involved with these infidels? I'm telling you for the last time, Miyan! Listen to me; you will benefit from it." As soon as Ashfaq heard this, his eyebrows furrowed, and he angrily retorted:..............."Beware! Watch your language. I know Pandit Ji (Ram Prasad Bismil) better than you do. That is absolutely not his intention. And even if it were, a Hindu kingdom would be better than this British rule of yours. You called him an infidel, and for that, I would request you to kindly leave this place right now, otherwise, another case under Section 302 (murder) will be filed against me."

Upon hearing this, poor Captain Sahib (Tasaddiq Hussain) was completely stunned and quietly slipped away with a crestfallen face. Anyway, on July 13, 1927, the judgment in the supplementary case was pronounced – a sentence of life imprisonment under Sections 120B and 121A and a death sentence, i.e., hanging, under Section 396.

This incident related to Ashfaqullah Khan is a stinging slap in the face of those traitors in the country today, including bureaucrats and Bollywood artists. Some Indian Administrative Service officers are even resigning from their jobs like the award-returning gang... who are spreading a different kind of rumor about a Hindu nation as part of an agenda.... Shaheed Ashfaqullah Khan had already sensed the true nature of the Congress party even before the Kakori Conspiracy trial... He had also warned Shaheed Ramprasad Bismil about the Congress... Young revolutionaries like Bismil and Ashfaqullah had strongly criticized Gandhi at the Congress's Patna session for his stance on the demand for complete independence. They had severely rebuked him. To save the country from the Congress's divisive communal policies, they established revolutionary organizations like Matri Vedi...!

Shaheed Ashfaqullah Khan and Ram Prasad Bismil both knew very well that the Congress party would exploit their martyrdom, but they also knew that the country would not remain enslaved for long. Later, the Congress did the same in the case of Bhagat Singh; they capitalized on the martyrdom of Shaheed-e-Azam Bhagat Singh.

Ashfaq already knew that after his martyrdom, the liberal party, i.e., the Congress, would come to power in Hindustan, and the sacrifices of ordinary people like him would not be remembered; only the memorials of the rulers would be preserved. That is why, with this couplet, he had predicted the current situation long ago in 1927:“The tomb of Ashfaq speaks with the language of its present state, Why have the lovers of the nation forgotten us from their hearts? It is very regrettable, it is very painful, it is the tomb of Shaheed Ashfaq, and it is exposed to the sun's rays!!”

The Congressmen did not even bother to build a roof over Ashfaqullah Khan's tomb, let alone offer floral tributes... the same party whose national president is now portraying herself as a benefactor of Muslims... later...

The great revolutionary and journalist Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi sent a money order of 200 rupees and had a roof built over Shaheed Ashfaq's tomb, protecting it from the sun. See the cruel irony of fate: a jihadist Muslim mob stabbed Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi to death in the crowded market of Kanpur...!

Who was he? What's done is done, but the ideals of Indian Muslims should not be Jinnah, Owaisi, Afzal Guru, so-called secular Congress leaders, or jihadist clerics and organizations that seek to break up the country... The ideal for Indian Muslims can only be the martyr Ashfaqulla Khan... I request Indian Muslims not to pay attention to rumors and not to be unnecessarily worried about the Citizenship Amendment Bill and the National Register of Citizens. These are steps taken in the national interest. India, whose culture for thousands of years has been to provide refuge to the persecuted, has passed the Citizenship Amendment Act using its constitutional powers to protect that very culture. This was not just the dream of a particular party, but also of the founders of India and the framers of the Constitution... which should have been fulfilled 70 years ago. Better late than never, everyone should welcome these great decisions...
