Follow us on INDIA Rizvi has needlessly provoked, but don’t let rule of law be guillotined at the altar of religious edicts March 16, 2021, 7:57 PM IST The writer is Editor-in-Chief, Times Now Muslim groups are in a right royal tizz over former Shia Waqf Board Chief Waseem Rizvi’s petition in the Supreme Court. They accuse Rizvi of senselessly outraging sentiments by calling upon the apex court to remove 26 verses from the Holy Quran for allegedly promoting violence against other religions. For this act of ‘sacrilege’ furious adherents have announced that they will pay the ‘faithful’ Rs 11 lakhs to behead the ‘apostate’. This is not an empty threat.
