Munsif Urdu Daily based in Hyderabad, India on May 1, 2020 published a highly deplorable and provocative article in its Minara e Noor, Supplement written by one Aarif Billah Al Qasimi.

This senseles article, in which Mahdavis were portrayed as Non Muslims, was published at the time when the entire world is reeling from COVID 19 Pandemic. It is highly deplorable as it has unnecessarily inflamed the peaceful Mahdavia Community.

Mahdavis all over the world are deeply hurt and will take all necessary legal actions against the Munsif daily for its irrisponsible act.

Without any delay Munsif Daily should publish apologies from its editor as well as Arif Qasimi, who wrote this offensive article. Nothing less will be acceptable to the Mahdavia community. Apology should be published in all its editions including prints ( Hyderabad and district) as well as online editions.

Those recorded phone conversations by individuals doesn’t mean anything to us. We cannot keep quite until an unconditional apology by the editor of Munsif is published. Har Mahdavi ko purAman ehtejaj ( peaceful protest) aur khanooni karwai ( legal action) karne ka haq hai. Yeh usi waqt band hoga Jab tak ke Munsif Daily ke editor ka Maafinama shaya (Apology publish) nahi hota.

Baaz log is maslay ko siyasi rang deni ki koshish karrahe hai jo ke khabil e mazzamat hai.
