Edited By Adam Rizvi, The India observer, TIO, NJ: Indian Muslims always get bad press and they are in the news for all the wrong reasons, but not this time. Uttar Pradesh’s Mirzapur, Sania Mirza (18 yrs) is going to become India’s first Muslim girl fighter pilot in the Indian Air Force (IAF).  

This positive story from the Muslim community is a slap on Yogi Aditayanath’s face whose “Abbajan” comment had pained the Muslim community a lot. It is also a slap on Godi media which has made the entire Muslim community anti-national to be vilified day in and day out on the so-called national TV Channels.
