AIMIM leader moves court against Rahul, says pet dog's name 'Noorie' hurts his religious sentiment
Prayagraj (PTI): An AIMIM leader has approached a local court here against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for gifting a dog named Noorie to his mother Sonia Gandhi, saying the name hurts his religious sentiments.
All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) leader Mohammad Farhan said the dog's name has hurt his religious sentiments as the word 'Noorie' is specifically related to Islam, and also finds a mention in Quran.
Office of the judicial magistrate has confirmed that the AIMIM leader has approached the court.
Speaking to PTI, Farhan's lawyer Mohammad Ali said they approached the court of Judical Magisrate Aviral Singh on Monday seeking to lodge an FIR against Rahul Gandhi under IPC Section 295 A (hurting religious sentiments).
The lawyer said the AIMIM leader came to know about the dog's name from various newspapers, Rahul Gandhi's Facebook page and YouTube channel.
Farhan had advised Rahul Gandhi through news channels and newspapers to change the dog's name and apologise publicly, but it had no effect on him, the lawyer said.
He said that the court has summoned Farhan on November 8 to record his statement. After going through the complaint, the court can summon Rahul Gandhi, the lawyer said.
Rahul Gandhi had earlier posted a video of gifting a dog to his mother Sonia Gandhi on World Animal Day.

AIITA welcomes Karnataka’s ban on obscene songs in school events
Bhatkal: The Karnataka unit of the All India Ideal Teachers Association (AIITA) has welcomed the Karnataka government’s decision to strictly ban school children from dancing to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes in government, aided, and private schools across the state.
AIITA Karnataka State President M. R. Manvi congratulated the government for taking what he termed an important step to preserve the sanctity of education.
“Such decisions to safeguard the dignity of school children and uphold the values of education are the need of the hour. This rule should not be limited to government schools alone but must be strictly implemented in all private educational institutions as well,” he said.
He further urged the government to address other concerns within school programmes.
“The government should not only prohibit obscene dances in the name of school anniversaries, but also ensure that plays and dialogues that incite religious hatred are avoided. Schools should be centres of harmony, not platforms for spreading hatred,” he added.
According to a recent circular issued by the Department of School Education and Literacy, obscene dances are adversely affecting the mental health and moral values of students.
In this regard, schools have been advised to use songs that promote nationalism, positive thinking, the greatness of Kannada culture, and value-based traditions instead of inappropriate content during programmes.
The circular also emphasises that students should be dressed in decent attire.
AIITA also backed the department’s warning that disciplinary action would be taken against head teachers if such guidelines are violated. The association has further demanded that district Deputy Directors of Public Instruction strictly monitor the implementation of these rules.
