In fact, the leader of the local Muslim fishing community has gone to the Gujarat High Court seeking approval to undergo euthanasia for himself and 600 members of his fishermen people.<\/p>\n
In fact, the leader, Allarakha Ismailbhai Thimmar from the Gosabara wetlands in Porbandar (Mahatma Gandhi\u2019s hometown, Porbandar). filed the petition on Thursday, stating the fishing community\u2019s deteriorating economic situation. The application, filed on behalf of the Gosabara Muslim Fishermen\u2019s Society, alleged that \u201cthe government does not provide facilities to people belonging to a particular community.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gujarat Muslim fishermen alleged that authorities have been \u201charassing\u201d their families on the basis of religion and claimed all facilities are regularly given to Hindu fishermen. The petition said the community has always been \u201cloyal to the nation\u201d and never engaged in \u201canti-national activities\u201d like smuggling. Instead, they have often \u201cgiven information to security agencies\u201d on such activities \u201csponsored by Pakistan and others.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shockingly, the leader of the local Muslim fishing community approached the Gujarat High Court seeking permission to undergo euthanasia for himself and 600 members of his people.<\/p>\n
The petitioner\u2019s counsel, Dharmesh Gurjar, says the mooring of boats has been banned at Gosabara Port since 2016. \u201cThimmar and his community are being denied their rights despite having licenses.\u201d<\/p>\n
Earlier, Thimmar has also sent a memorandum to the Governor, Chief Minister, and Porbandar Collector for the same. According to the news report, even after these repeated representations to the state government, no action was taken, and this is why Thimmar filed a petition in the High Court.<\/p>\n
Notably, there has been violence and persecution of Muslims<\/a> escalating in India in recent years. While there have been riots and attacks since the Partition of India, the recent laws made by the BJP government against Muslims<\/a> have empowered goons to attack them and make inflammatory statements against them.\u00a0 It is legal that one community undergoes so much persecution and the country keeps silent?<\/p>\n
