Last month, HC set aside an order upholding Saif & family's ownership of Nawab Hamidullah's property, which now faces division under personal laws & classification under Enemy Property Act.
The properties belonged to Hamidullah Khan, Saif’s great-grandfather and the last ruling Nawab of Bhopal. They include estates such as Flag Staff House and Noor-Us-Sabah Palace.
The sentiment behind 'enemy property' has changed over the years, most significantly in 2017, when an amendment completely prevented Indians from laying claim to ancestral properties.
‘Enemy’ property belonging to citizens of Pakistan and China will be sold for revenue. And a problematic amendment to a wartime act in 2017 will help Modi govt do it.
It’s hard to build a house, run a business, or do anything without paying bribes. And yet, citizens’ anger about this open, unchecked corruption won’t erupt into Anna Hazare-type rallies.
As many as 21 policy reforms are under implementation following Invest Kerala Global Summit, as LDF govt works to change perception that the state is not conducive to businesses.
Amid continued concerns over cross-border terrorism, General Upendra Dwivedi further warned the neighbour that India will not show restraint if there is an Op Sindoor 2.0.
Pakistan’s army has been a rentier force available to a reasonable bidder. It has never come to the aid of any Muslims including Palestinians or the Gazans, except making noises here and there.
Saif and his family are too clever. His family whole-heartedly supported the Pakistan Movement and generously funded the Muslim League.
After Partition, only a few members of the family actually immigrated to Pakistan. Why? Because Pakistan offered no concrete future for them – they were not sure whether they would enjoy the same status in society.
The rest stayed back to enjoy their generational wealth and privilege in a secular India.
