Lonely Muslim fight for constitutional rights
Today, two Muslim activists, Dr Kafeel Khan, a paediatrician from Gorakhpur, and Sharjeel Usmani, a student activist from AMU, were granted bails by Allhabad High Court. They both were facing charges of abetting communal disturbance through their speeches and writings in context of anti-Citizenship Amendment Act agitation in the country. In case of Dr Khan, the court reportedly commented that there was no ground to slap draconian National Security Act against him. However, the court didn't rap the UP government that had acted against Dr Khan. Anyway, as the news of bail to these activists came out, there was jubilation in the Muslim social media circles. But, there was no reaction from Hindu friends. It reminded one of very feeble Hindu support for anti-CAA agitation. It seems constitutional fight of Muslims for their rights has become lonely.
