‘Victory for India': Muslim cleric praises Operation Sindhu amid Iran-Israel conflict escalation
New Delhi: Amid the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict, prominent Muslim cleric Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi has praised the Indian government's swift response in evacuating its citizens from the war-hit region under 'Operation Sindhu'. Speaking to IANS from Bareilly, Razvi lauded the efforts, calling it a "victory for India" and a reminder of the government's commitment to protect its people. "Many Indian students and others were stranded in Iran for studies or pilgrimage. Their families were deeply distressed. The successful evacuation has brought immense relief to parents and relatives. We must appreciate the Indian government for taking timely action," Razvi said. Meanwhile, in a separate and strongly worded statement, Maulana Razvi targeted actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh for the casting of Pakistani actors, including Hania Amir, in his upcoming film 'Sardaar Ji 3'. He questioned the rationale behind choosing Pakistani talent, particularly at a time when tensions with Pakistan remain high. "Why couldn't Diljit find Indian actors? Why give opportunities to those from a country that harbours terrorists and has caused immense pain to India?" Razvi said, referencing the 26 Indian civilians killed in a terror attack in Pahalgam, which was planned by Pakistan-based terror groups. "This film sends the wrong message to Indian society", he noted. Razvi further recalled India's strong retaliation in the form of 'Operation Sindoor', which targeted terror infrastructure deep inside Pakistan. Calling for a boycott of 'Sardaar Ji 3', Razvi urged the Indian government to ban the film and initiate legal action against Diljit Dosanjh and the involved actors. "This isn't just about a movie; it's about national sentiment and respect for our martyrs," he said. 'Sardaar Ji 3' is set to release on June 27 and features popular Pakistani actress Hania Aamir, whose casting has stirred criticism on social media due to the recent Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor. Notably, India had implemented a ban on Pakistani actors and content on various platforms, including OTT services and social media, citing national security concerns during Operation Sindoor.

Yoga should be encouraged in madrassas, but oppose Surya Namaskar, says UP Muslim cleric: 'Islam forbids…'
Muslim cleric Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi on Saturday said that yoga should be encouraged in mosques and madrassas, but opposed 'Surya Namaskar', saying it is prohibited in Islam. "I have supported yoga but opposed Surya Namaskar. Muslims cannot perform Surya Namaskar. Surya Namaskar is an act within yoga. Every man and woman should do yoga. Yoga should be done in madrasas and mosques too. But Surya Namaskar is bowing to the sun, worshipping the sun. Islam forbids all these things," said Razvi, president of the All India Muslim Jamaat. According to a PTI report, Razvi took part in the celebrations of the International Day of Yoga at the Grand Mufti House near Dargah-e-Ala Hazrat in Bareilly. "Worshipping the sun is illegitimate in Islam. That is why we have forbidden everyone from doing Surya Namaskar. Surya Namaskar is not a part of Islam. Therefore, no Muslim should perform Surya Namaskar.' "Yoga is also practised in Islam. Yoga is not part of a religion," he added. The report further quoted the cleric as saying, "Surya Namaskar is a form of Sanatan Dharma, meaning Hindu worship, which Islam absolutely does not permit. Surya Namaskar is 'haram' in Islam." Meanwhile, Uttar Pradesh minister JPS Rathore remarked: "Just as our sun is the truth, so is Surya Namaskar. So long as the sun rises, Surya Namaskar will also continue." Rathore commented after performing yoga at Bareilly College ground on Saturday, the report added. "Those who spit at the sun end up with the spit falling back on their faces. The same fate awaits those who oppose Surya Namaskar," the minister also said. "It's an ancient yoga practice that everyone should accept. There's nothing more narrow-minded than opposing it." Razvi also recommended yoga for women. "Yoga is very important for women, as women move around much less compared to men; women mostly stay at home. Therefore, people who do more sedentary work are more susceptible to diseases." "Yoga is an activity that makes small illnesses disappear on their own, and the body remains agile. So, my request to women is to do yoga for at least 20 minutes every day," he said.

Man compensated for lost airline baggage: 'Landmark' win for consumers
The Delhi State Consumer Commission last month asked low-cost airline SpiceJet to pay Rs 2 lakh compensation to a passenger for losing his checked-in baggage that contained gold jewellery and expensive clothes. Legal experts believe the case could shape how airlines handle compensation claims. 'This case holds significant importance for consumers, particularly concerning their rights when engaging with service providers such as airlines. It firmly establishes that service providers cannot unilaterally impose terms and conditions without ensuring they are adequately brought to the consumer's notice,' said Chirag Gupta, associate partner at law firm Alpha Partners. Gupta said the airline failed to show that liability-limiting conditions were properly disclosed. 'This judgment reaffirms a fundamental duty of care upon service providers for goods entrusted to them, acting as bailees,' he said. Hidden disclaimers Alay Razvi, managing partner at Accord Juris, said the commission's ruling (On May 27) clarifies disclaimers must be clearly disclosed. 'Terms significantly affecting liability like 'no valuables in checked baggage' must be clearly and prominently communicated, not buried in fine print,' Razvi said. Airlines are obliged to deliver baggage safely, said Razvi. 'A failure to do so is actionable as a deficiency in service. Even standard airline claims like liability per kg can be overridden by consumer commissions upholding statutory rights and broader standards of fairness.' Razvi noted that 'compensation isn't limited to tangible losses, mental agony from such incidents can fetch substantial damages,' referring to the Rs 1.5 lakh awarded for mental harassment in the SpiceJet case. Legal principles Harsh Khabar, an advocate at the Delhi High Court, explained the legal framework applied by the commission 'The District and State forums emphasised the onus to take care of the goods is upon the bailee under Sections 151 and 152 of the Contract Act, 1872,' he said. The case illustrates how operators 'cannot take advantage of terms and conditions to give a lesser compensation than the damage incurred by the customer,' especially when such terms are not reasonably visible. 'The operator of the airline is solely responsible for the handling of the baggage and the same should be done diligently. The aggrieved consumer need not claim only the actual damages incurred, but can also claim mental harassment caused by the loss of such goods,' said Khabar Business Standard reached out to SpiceJet for a response to the Commission's ruling and related queries, but the airline did not respond till the time of publishing.
