Maharashtra to build house for family of Pahalgam attack hero Adil Shah

New Delhi’April 28: Financial help and moral support for the family of the Pahalgam terrorist attack hero Syed Adil Hussain Shah, who tried to protect tourists from the bullets of terrorists and was killed in retaliation, has started pouring in from all over the country.

Syed Adil Hussain, a Pahari tribesman who supported his family by ferrying tourists on his pony from Pahalgam to different destinations, was killed as he tried to argue with the Pakistan-backed terrorists who were asking the largely Hindu tourists to read Kalma (the opening paragraph of the Quran). Other ponywallahs present there said he even tried to snatch the gun from a terrorist who shot him in the neck.

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has announced financial assistance of Rs 5 lakh to the family of Syed Adil Hussain Shah, a pony ride operator who is being hailed as a hero for sacrificing his life while protecting tourists during the Pahalgam terror attack.

The 20-year-old tried to shield a tourist traveling on his horse and even attempted to snatch a rifle from one of the terrorists. Tragically, he was shot and killed by the attackers. Locals paid tributes to Adil in this video posted on X:

Touched by Syed’s brave act, Shinde also decided to build a house for them. He spoke to the family on the phone and promised his support.

On Friday, a Shiv Sena representative visited Pahalgam and gave the cheque to Syed’s family. At the same time, the DyCM spoke to the family through a video call to offer his support and condolences.

Syed, who used to offer horse rides to tourists in Pahalgam, displayed extraordinary courage and humanity in the face of terror, sacrificing his life to protect others.

BJP leaders are visiting their homes and offering condolences to his family.

Syed Ayub of Hyderabad Youth Courage NGO, recently visited Adil’s family to condole his death and also offered a cheque of an unspecified amount to his wife. He posted this video n instagram:

Opposition parties opposing women’s quota, delimitation for politics: Kishan Reddy New Delhi, April 17 (PMI): Union Minister G Kishan Reddy on Friday accused the opposition parties of resisting the Women’s Reservation and Delimitation Bills for political mileage. Talking to newsmen, he asserted that the Centre’s proposed formula ensures fairness to all states, rejecting claims of injustice to southern regions. Reddy alleged that parties fear losing dominance if new leadership emerges through reservations and constituency changes. He also criticized regional parties for spreading “false propaganda” and called for a public debate on the issue. “Speaking in the Lok Sabha, the Prime Minister, the Home Minister, and the Central Government delivered a very clear message that no state would suffer any injustice whatsoever. Unlike the manner in which the delimitation was conducted when the Congress party was in power, we are introducing a Bill that is favorable and acceptable to all, ensuring equitable justice for every state. Despite this, the opposition continues to engage in false propaganda within Parliament. Citing census data, they claimed that the population in the South was declining and that the region would be penalized for having successfully implemented family planning measures. Initially, their argument was that if the constituency delimitation were to be undertaken following the census, the South would inevitably face injustice. However, today, recognizing the sentiments of the people and ensuring that the number of seats in the South does not diminish, the Modi government has introduced a formula involving a 50% increase”, he noted. Further, Kishan Reddy alleged that from the very beginning, it has been a calculated conspiracy by the Majlis party to ensure that the women are denied any form of political reservation. Statements made by Majlis party leaders specifically Akbaruddin Owaisi suggesting that the entry of the women into politics would give rise to new complications and problems, are officially recorded in the Assembly records. Fearing that a delimitation of constituencies in Hyderabad could jeopardize their own seats, the Majlis party is now conspiring in tandem with both the Congress and the BRS parties . Having held consultations with these two parties, the Majlis party is actively campaigning against both the proposed delimitation and the provision of Women’s reservations”, he remarked. (PMI)
