आज हम बात कर रहे हैं उन भारतीय मसलीमस की जिनकी हम सम्मान करते हैं। #FerozeKhan जिन्होंने Sanskrit मैं शिक्षा पायी या फिर #KKMohammed की जो ASI की team से थे या फिर BJP के नेता #AtifRasheed की जो हिन्दुओं को स्थिति समझ रहे थे जिन्हें Ram Mandir फ़ेसले को celebrate भी करने से रोका जा रहा था secularism के चक्कर में। मैं इन सब भारतीय मुस्लिम का सम्मान करती हु क्यूँकि यह हिंदू ही हैं और इनके पूर्वजों को ज़ोर ज़बरन या तो बहेला के उनका धर्म परिवर्तन किया गया। मगर कुच babar के चमचे भी भारतीय नगरिकता रखते हैं जैसे #SabaNaqvi जो ५ acre ज़मीन पर मंदिर बनवाना चाहती है क्यूँकि उसे वो ज़मीन नहीं चाहिए अपने मालिक Babar के मस्जिद के लिए 🧐। यह लोगों को हम इतना कहना चाहते हैं की Sakshi Maharaj ने यह भी कहा है कि Delhi की JamaMasjid के नीचे भी हिंदू भगवान और देवीयो की मूर्ति या हैं तो हमें शायद इसके ऊपर भी research करनी चाहिए। क्यूँकि यह babar के चमचे तो सच सुनने को तैयार ही नहीं है की मुग़ल ने हिंदुओं का धर्म परिवर्तन करवाया🙏

Those who came in late then let us tell you that on 10th October a complaint was filed against the Payal by Congress worker Charmesh Sharma for posting an objectionable video on Twitter and Facebook. On the basis of this police lodged the case against her under section 504, 505(2) of the IPC.

After filing the case police sent Payal several notices via email and posts for the interrogation, however, she failed to appear for the same leading to her arrest.
