Mumbai: Samajwadi Party MLA Abu Asim Azmi has taken to Twitter to address concerns regarding the upcoming festival of Eid-ul-Azha, also known as Bakra Eid. 

In two separate tweets on Tuesday, Azmi expressed his efforts to ensure a smooth and hassle-free celebration for the Muslim community living in the city. 

Permission for offering Eid-ul-Azha prayers at Azad Maidan

In the first tweet, Azmi mentioned his annual meeting with Mr. Deven Bharti, Mumbai Special Commissioner of Police, to seek permission for offering Eid-ul-Azha prayers at Azad Maidan in Mumbai. 

In addition to this, he highlighted the issue of police and municipal corporations stopping vehicles carrying sacrificial animals from outside Mumbai and causing harassment to businessmen and farmers. Azmi reported that he discussed these matters with Mr. Bharti, who, in turn, instructed the concerned police officers to address the issue and put a stop to the inconvenience caused.

Smooth passage of vehicles carrying sacrificial animals

In his second tweet, Azmi conveyed the assurance given by the Maharashtra government regarding the smooth passage of vehicles carrying sacrificial animals during Bakra Eid in Mumbai. He emphasised that if any vehicle transporting sacrificial animals is stopped anywhere in Mumbai by the Police, Municipal Corporation, Bajrang Dal, or any other person or organisation, individuals should immediately contact the helpline numbers provided. The helpline numbers shared by Azmi were 02222641752 and 09967402100, which can be used to file a complaint in such instances.

The first day of Eid-ul-Azha has been announced to be on June 29. Arafah considered the holiest in Islam, will be observed on June 28.

Sameer Wankhede targeted in The Baddest of Bollywood; Delhi High Court orders removal of objectionable content from controversial series in defamation case

Published

Mumbai: The Mumbai-Delhi High Court has strongly criticized Red Chillies Entertainment Shah Rukh Khan, Gauri Khan and others in the defamation case against NCB Zonal Director IRS officer Sameer Wankhede and said that artistic freedom does not mean mocking a person. After this, the High Court has ordered that the controversial footage related to Sameer Wankhede be removed from the controversial Netflix series The Bads of Bollywood. Sameer Wankhede had filed a petition in the High Court and pleaded that his character has been killed in The Bads of Bollywood and this series has been made to target him. The purpose is to humiliate and mock Sameer Wankhede. After watching some parts of this series, the High Court has ordered the removal of the controversial parts from the film.

Sameer Wankhede’s lawyer had told the court that the character portrayed in the film is a comparison to Sameer Wankhede and that this series has been created with the intention of tarnishing Wankhede’s image. The Bads of Bollywood is malicious, therefore, the above-mentioned controversial scenes and objectionable dialogues should be deleted from the series, on which the court has issued an order to delete the controversial and objectionable content and content. Earlier, while hearing Sameer Wankhede’s petition, the court had sent notices to Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies, Netflix, Meta, and social media platforms and directed them to file a response. To this, Red Chillies had called the film and series a drama and made it clear that it had nothing to do with the facts. However, despite this, the Delhi High Court inquired whether a film drama does not mean that someone’s character is killed and said this, it reprimanded Shah Rukh Khan and the film company. Sameer Wankhede tried to prove through his argument that the character portrayed in the film resembles Sameer Wankhede and that this character has been portrayed in a negative way to target him and in this, an attempt has been made to make fun of Sameer Wankhede through this character, which has humiliated Wankhede, which the court has accepted and issued a directive to delete the objectionable and controversial content. This is a big success for Sameer Wankhede, while Shah Rukh Khan has suffered a huge setback.
