**Hello
-Hello
**Sir, I am calling from east coast online.
-Yes, Please
**We would like to know more about the issue.
-For me also, it is the same as u know from tv and newspapers.nothing else.
**Besides that, It was you who was with her for the past years. So I would like to know more about that.
-yes.you may ask.
**Did Akhila tried to call you after she went to Salem to pursue her studies?
-First, I tried to contact her.Then, it was impossible for me to call her as I didn’t have her contact number.But, she called me and asked my well being.She told me that she was calling from her principal’s number.”Achayi..I went to college.the classes will start only by two-three days”.
**a photo was spread those days in which Akhila was standing with some friends in the hostel.did u see that?
-Yes, I saw that.ButI was in a different mindset so I was unable to take care of that.Now i am trying to find out her friends in that picture,jaseena, and faseena who stood with her to do the conversion.
**Are you happy with the court order?
-Yes, I am so happy.The court still doubtful with him.That is why they denied her to go with him right?No parents will allow her daughter to live with such a kind of a person.
**What is your opinion on daughter’s refusal to come home?
-We always wanted her to be happy than getting herself into a destruction.She went to pursue her studies only.We were so relieved when the court denied the permission to live with him.The society was unaware of this kind of things which is happening in Kerala.Not only in Kerala, people understood the true colors of such people from the media though this issue.I am so relieved.No father should suffer like this.
**How did she get into this trouble??
-It all started when she went to pursue her studies in Salem.She stayed separately with her friends as she didn’t like hostel food.6 students.The parents of these students have given their consent for this in the college itself and after that, these children stayed separately.They were 4 Hindu students and 2 Muslim students.They wanted to prepare food all by themselves.jaseena and fassena were there with her.Other students didn’t make attention to their talks.But Akhila is an ordinary kid who has less knowledge about the things around her.It was easy for them to change her mindset.they converted her to constant pressurizing.
**so, were you unaware of the conversion?
-These girls intentionally put her into this trap.She used to go to their house as well.All of a sudden on a fine morning she got absconded.For the first time, I feared of losing her.So then I filed a petition.These things happened in the fourth year.At first, the court allowed her to stand with the religion.Then allowed to be with her friend, Sainaba.The court agreed with her opinion and the order was favorable for her.Still, we used to talk with our daughter.
**What happened then?
-That was a period which the media was filled with the news about ISIS and Syria.One day I asked her that when is she planning to go to Syria.She told me that actually, she wanted to get to Syria to grace cattle, but jaseena insisted her to go after completing house surgency.”At that time I felt something fishy and I informed my concern in the court at the next hearing.Following that, the court came to an understanding of the truth.So I had a clue that the court will send her to us at the next session.
When they came to know about this the got married in a simple ceremony all of a sudden on 19th itself and presented themselves in the court on the next day hearing.We became embarrassed to see her accompanied by a total stranger.She came with a fully packed luggage accompanied by the stranger on the judgment day.When the court asked about the stranger she introduced him as her husband.And she presented some documents to prove it too.They produced a fake document of marriage which showed the consent of parents and relatives.And when the court asked me about this I replied that I was not aware of this and also I am seeing this person for the first time only.
**Ok, then what happened?
-I hope you are aware of her marriage as such.it was only on the previous day of the judgment.The court inquired about the marriage in detail.When the court asked about his background it was stated that he possesses a job in a company at UAE.It was proven fake in further inquiry.And also he had one or two petty cases in charge with his was reported by the DSP.They were trying to hide the other serious cases which he had involved with.So when court got the clarity it denied the permission to stay either with her so-called ‘husband’ or with her friend Sainaba.Instead of that first permitted to stay in the hostel and after that with me.
**Then, Did the court allowed her to stay with you?
-No. she was allowed to stay in the hostel itself.
**Was Akhila agreed to come home and stay with you?
-No actually we obeyed the court order in that scenario.She was very much violent after coming back home.She started using bad words and she used to physically harass us, like beating us and trampling us.Me and mother were Kafirs for her after the conversion.
**So wasn’t she passionate towards you at that times?
-No, On early days she paid attention to me even if I caught up with a mild fever and she used to give me proper medicines and all.She was so close to me in fact.She used to come home if I catch up with a mild cold.She used to compel me to get medication and insisted me to do regular check-ups.And the same child started to harass me then.I managed to tolerate all these in this heartbreaking condition.We don’t have an objection to conversion.I am a rational by myself.I am a communist.I objected for the reason which she got married to a terrorist without letting us know.
**Did you say all these in court?
-It was a shame for us to say all these.So I didn’t say anything to anyone.But the women officer who stayed with us for her security witnessed these things and reported all these to the officials.
**But the news spread as Akhila was facing some kind of harassment and assault in her house which was accompanied by a video of Rahul eeshwar.What do you want to say on this?
– All those were said by the compulsion of Rahul eeshwar.It was all his drama in which he made us to convince all these which dragged us into hell.She stood with his words and believed and that started the huge issues which did not happen before.She was compelled to say all these and recorded the same.He promised her that she will release her from here by sending all these to the judge.so in that way Akhila got changed by believing his words after he went back.She became adamant.And she convinced the judge by the courage which he has passed to her.Akhila was slowly coming to the reality.He destroyed everything.
**Did Akhila had other communications when she was with Shefin Jahan?
-Maybe.Because the woman officer who was with us here delivered Akhila some messages and after that, she got punishment transfer from here by some reports against her.That was the reason which Akhila stood stubborn and adamant on presenting matters to court and to the media.
**Is Akhila safe in Salem?
-Hope so.And she may get the messages regularly.I have a doubt “is she still under the observation of these group?”Because without the court’s permission shefin is not allowed to talk to her.And I will definitely file a petition if he makes an attempt to meet her at the college.
**What do you think? what may be the reason for her conversion?
-She is unaware of the world.She didn’t has the habit of reading a newspaper or watching tv.Her world consisted of some serials and cinema.But now she started paying attention to the news.
**Do you have anything else to say?
-I don’t believe that sainaba or either Abubakkar won’t let their kids marry with a terrorist.I think they won’t.So this is not their concern.No parents can allow her daughter to marry a terrorist.
It’s not their concern to think about other kids.So they convinced her to marry a terrorist.
**What is the stand of Akhila’s mother?
-She has got no words to say.She is not an efficient lady.That may be the reason to all these.She is less efficient and I was not here either, so all of these were our flaws.She is spending her day with prayers and sobs.Along with that, she is also trying to console me as well.
**We wholeheartedly pray to the almighty to sort out the issues in a positive manner.Thank you for you precious time which you spared for us.Thank you
-Thank you
