BSF jawan who complained about food allowed to meet wife

Tej Bahadur Yadav

The wife of Tej Bahadur Yadav will be allowed to meet him over the weekend at the Samba sector in Jammu and Kashmir. The order was passed by the Delhi high court. It may be recalled that Yadav had posted a video online complaining about the poor quality of food served to jawans.

Yadav's wife Sharmila had filed a habeas corpus petition alleging that her husband was missing ever since the video that he posted went viral. During the course of the hearing, the union Home Ministry told the court that Yadav was not arrested as is being alleged. He has only been shifted to another battalion, the ministry also told the court.

Yadav's wife Sharmila sought a directive from the Delhi high court to the authorities concerned to produce her husband before the court. The court will hear the matter on Friday. Sharmila says in the petition that an inquiry had been ordered after he had uploaded the video. Since then none of us have been able to contact him, she also alleged. She even said that she had written two letters to the BSF, but there was no response. They avoid my phone calls and very often keep the call on hold, she also alleged.

Donald Trump signs ‘Muslim Ban 2.0’ order The Donald Trump administration issued a new executive order on Monday, temporarily banning travel from six Muslim majority countries to the United States, after an earlier order ran foul of the country’s judiciary. The new executive order bans travel from Sudan, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, and Yemen, leaving out Iraq that was also in the list of barred countries in the January order. In an attempt to pass the next round of inevitable judicial scrutiny, current visa and green card holders from these countries will not be affected by this order. The order also explains the basis for including the six countries trying to remedy a lacuna in the earlier order. The new order also avoids the preferential treatment offered to Christian refugees in the earlier order. “Here we go again...Muslim Ban 2.0,” Muslims member of U.S. Congress Andre Carson responded. “Courts across the country have made clear: President Trump is not above the Co...
