Muslim man breaks Ramzan fast to donate blood to a Hindu
Dehradun, May 21: A Muslim man in Dehradun turned into a saviour for a 20-year-old Hindu patient by breaking his Ramzan fast so that he can donate his blood for him.
39-year-old Arif Khan broke his Ramzan fast after he was advised by doctors prior to the blood donation. A WhatsApp message on a common group had alerted Khan to the requirement of A+ blood at Max hospital in Dehradun.
The patient was 20 years old Ajay Bijlawan, who was hospitalized with a low blood platelet count had declined to less than 5000.
“I called up the patient’s attendant and told him that I am fasting. I asked him to consult the doctor and if he’s willing to take my blood, then I have no issues. One of the doctors at the blood bank spoke to me and asked me to come to hospital. I underwent some tests at the hospital and the doctor told me that I can donate, however, I need to eat something before donating the blood,” Khan told InUth over phone from Dehradun.
Khan said it was the “right thing to do.”

SC refuses to entertain plea to impose ban on social media usage for children below 13 years
New Delhi (PTI): The Supreme Court on Friday refused to entertain a plea seeking to impose a statutory prohibition on social media usage for children below 13 years.
"It is a policy matter. You ask Parliament to enact the law," a bench of Justices B R Gavai and Augustine George Masih told the counsel appearing for the petitioner.
"We are not inclined to entertain the present petition in as much as the relief sought is within the domain of policy," the bench said.
While disposing of the plea, it granted liberty to the petitioner to make a representation to the authority.
The bench said if such a representation was made, the same be considered in accordance with law within eight weeks.
The plea, filed by Zep Foundation, sought directions to the Centre and others to mandate the introduction of robust age verification system, such as biometric authentication, to regulate children's access to social media platforms.
The petition, filed through advocate Mohini Priya, also sought to implement strict penalties for social media platforms failing to comply with children protection regulations.
