He was invited by Jamia Millia Islamia, Delhi to deliver a lecture in the shamelessly named “Yasser Arafat” hall on 11th April, 2013. But his talk was cancelled at the last moment due to “unavoidable reasons”. The story is that gang of several Islamofascist students had threatened to disrupt the speech. Also, many of the Islamic “academics” also had reservations about allowing a “Secular Muslim” to speak in what Tarek has aptly called “Mini-Pakistan” in Delhi. As expected, the usual statement deploring the “unfortunate incident” by liberal and academic establishment was not heard who are otherwise quick to breath fire on almost any issue anywhere in the world. No left activists, organisations like Sahmat and others, no alumni association, no liberal group has come forward to defend Tarek’s right to speak and student’s right to listen him.

>>>This is how terrorists exploit the fairness of a democratic society to undermine the system and carry on their nefarious activities
Let me confess that I have not read this article yet, but it seems to me these are stories of those who have been accquitted by Indian court, tha same courts that have said that there is no case against Narendra modi (so far). So if these people have been acquitted how can you call them terrorits?
Indian Police is unprofessional and pursues arbitrary arrests to cover its incompetence , still depends dated unscientific approach ( confession based ) which results in acquittals ( sometimes real criminals and sometimes innocents who were framed ) due to lack of corroborating evidence ..
This sad state will continue as long as Indian police reports to the Political class and acts as their private militia - the day it is freed from political interference , Iam sure there are more than a few good competent and capable policemen to turn around the force . Till that time liberty will always be at risk for good people in worng place ( or wrong company) and criminals and terrorists will continue to have a free run .
This is a sad account. So many innocent lives ruined! Lack of integrity, lack of professionalism and lack of due diligence on the part of the authorities cannot be tolerated in a democratic and secular country like India. Jamia Teachers' Solidarity Association must be congratulated for publishing this report.
This is how terrorists exploit the fairness of a democratic society to undermine the system and carry on their nefarious activities. They should not be allowed to prevail. Shame on you Outlook for siding with communal terrorist forces
