A post from an ID with a Muslim name says, “I support Urfi Javed.” I will definitely see that post. If you expose your mother, sister, daughter, or wife in the same way, with photos or videos, and say, “I support Urfi Javed,” then write from a Muslim-named ID, “I support Urfi Javed.” If she apologized, the matter would be over. This is absolutely the decision. If this is the case, then it’s only fair that she apologizes to the entire community.
The police are so relaxed. Until the photo of a big leader’s wife appears, or someone is shown slapping an MLA, or someone is shown blackening a minister’s face, cybercrime won’t act. If there were something more after my name, Sheikh, I would be a very prominent leader now. Then the martyrdom of lawyers, didi, and tai would have happened. The problem lies here. All the photos and videos of yours have mullahs cursing you. The problem lies there, with me. [Music]
Friends, welcome to my media confrontation. You know that from the film industry to TV serials and social media, this nudity is at its peak. We also see that whether it is a man or a woman, everyone is fully indulging in this nudity. Issues remain, and no one raises a finger. But I raised my voice against the director of the very respectable Lady Healthcare Foundation in Mumbai city, and that became news and a topic of discussion. There is a lot of discussion about Shabnam online, and somewhere she has been warned to learn a lesson. Let's talk about movies. [Music]
I want to know from serials to ordinary life, there are many women who are exposing their bodies. Where will we stop this nudity? You raised your voice because you won’t see any more women like this. What is the reason behind specifically targeting her? You are a social contractor, what is your responsibility? This whole subject of Urfi Javed…first, let me tell you, listen to her name. It's a Muslim name. My own career is 18 years old. In 18 years, I have seen many models rise, fall, succeed, and fail. Okay. What are you doing? What benefit will you get from this? What are your intentions? Do it, we don’t have a problem.
The problem is that many posts from Muslim-named IDs say, “I support Urfi Javed.” If someone wants to complain, they don’t need to come to me personally. If anyone tags me anywhere with #Shabnam, my team will see it. They can read that comment, they can read that complaint. And we feel that if there is a legal, social, or religious issue, we will act on it. The Urfi Javed case came before me. It was like this; we took legal action. I got complaints against that girl. This girl isn’t so big that I should target her. No one knows where she is from or where she belongs. So why should I target her? She is a fiery girl. The problem is that many posts from Muslim-named IDs support Urfi Javed, and her photos and videos have mullahs cursing her. The problem lies there, with me.
Your father, Javed Aslam, what did he teach you? I don’t know. Our community has given us a lot of upbringing. If we talk about community matters, I have a lot of objections. Get away from our community. Change your name. A Saudi man shared a video with me in which he elaborated on my videos and some harsh words and shared a video. He said that I do not believe in Islam. I don’t believe in Allah. If you don’t believe, then don’t use the name of Allah. Your religious check on Google shows Muslim. Change it. I won't have any objection. Another issue is that you are a woman, and you roam naked. I am not someone who will give you clothes. This city is mine. I was born here. I belong to Uttar Pradesh. Your ancestors were also from there. But we were born here, in Mumbai, the city of dreams. Everyone comes here to fulfill their dreams. You have come here; wear clothes, wear good clothes, do good work. What are you trying to show? Social media is very active, and children are handling phones without knowing what to watch. Children are seeing what message is going out, that if you roam naked in Mumbai, you'll get less work. Mumbai has become naked. You are not allowed to do that. You know what follows. Your words are understood as evil, especially from Muslim names. Non-Muslim brothers from our country are thinking that this Muslim is insulting Hindu deities and our religion. What legal action have you taken against such people?
Sir, I have filed a case against her under section 500. She insulted me. There are some printouts of what she wrote to me, saying that even if my bodyguards are with me, she will make me urinate in my pants. I want to use the media to tell her to stay away. I want to see how she'll get out of this. I have just come out of my shell, and a girl will come and insult me like this? I just want to know how she’ll do it. I have given 18 years to this city, to this country. I have worked hard. I have dealt with big businessmen, big leaders, big celebrities, and now I will answer these people. Like you mentioned offline, how are you going to do this? I will start from November 1st. I filed a complaint against this girl. It was a very serious complaint. On November 7th, I told the DCP that this girl abused me live. You know every MLA does live content. [Music]
Around 11:00 AM on November 6th, when I reached the hospital, the doctor checked my BP. I didn’t have any blood pressure issues. My BP was 100/60. They calmed me down and asked me the whole story. The girl abused me live on the 5th; I had an attack, and my health got very bad. The next day, I had to go to the police station personally. When we raise our voices for others, we shout. But when we are the victims, our voice is subdued, and we can’t speak. I told the senior officer to take me to the government hospital in a police van. The police’s petrol is also from the government, which runs on our money. Take me and check my medical condition. This girl is abusing me so much in my inbox. What should I do? Madam, we need an order from above because you don’t have her address, phone number, or anything. So we cannot take action against her. This is cybercrime. Because of the girl's lack of address and phone number, the police action through cybercrime is stuck.
You asked me about the action taken. The police are so relaxed. Until the photo of a big leader’s wife appears, or someone is shown slapping an MLA, or someone is shown blackening a minister’s face, cybercrime won’t act. Ordinary people will shout until they die, and then their voices will be heard. I have been fighting and shouting for 18 years. What will this girl do to me? I will get justice. God will also see it. It's a big deal that they have big names and that a website was launched against them. It was not just one; there were many women who were defamed and whose rate cards were created, showing how much you can hire them for. So many allegations, so much pressure, so many officials' ears will ring. They have the power; use it to find out. In this interview, we have discussed…my house is being built, 500 square feet on Hill Road, next to Bandra police station. I get court notices. Those who know about the law, those who don't know, I have studied law and I am still studying and I answer people very well. Mumbai Police has filed so many cases against me during the 2019 MP and Assembly elections. All the mess they created is on top of you.
What have you put in the discussion? You are a social worker who announced that she would stand independently in the MP elections. Within 13 days, you beautifully trapped her and sent her to jail. She got bail from court because you didn't have anything, no truth that you could do anything. You only got a contract from Mumbai Police to keep Shabnam Sheikh inside until the nominations were filed. Mumbai Police did this on contract. Madam Shabnam Sheikh, you haven't even cast your vote. What should I do? [Applause] From a Muslim name, then Hindu, you curse me. You curse Muslims. You curse those who do social work, and you curse women’s rights activists. When we had our first press conference, a media employee told me that this girl is given a contract to speak about someone. This girl who cursed me… will you dare to write such abuses on my Instagram or WhatsApp? The DCP says he can’t do anything; the senior says he can’t do anything. Then why are you sitting here getting paid? I speak about politics and the police force because I work for the public. Muslims are suppressed in India; this is India's fashion. We are Muslims, so we are defamed. The matter is, if something more was added after my name, Sheikh, I would have been a very prominent leader now. Then the martyrdom of lawyers, didi, and tai would have happened. I am a Muslim, that's why there's a problem. It seems that being a Muslim in our country…
Look, this is the society, brother. When I don’t bring up the Hindu-Muslim issue…today, let me talk about Babasaheb Ambedkar. [Music] The tax for covering one's breasts was not imposed by any foreign government; it was imposed by the landlords of this country. They didn't let them drink water from the well, and they weren't seated equally. You can understand the era when women couldn’t cover their chests. Babasaheb Ambedkar brought the Dalit society up and showed that in India, in the Constitution, there will be equality for all. There is no minority, no majority. This country is as much a Hindu's as it is a Muslim's. Anyone can break or build anything; it doesn't matter. The Prime Minister has as much right in this country as I do. I have to fight, whether with words or fists. I am ready for both. The question is, as you say, many people have called you, threatened you, and requested you to forgive her. After all, she is dancing naked, and we sympathize with her. Who are these people? We can't expect the same thing from everyone. A fruit seller will only sell fruit; a milk seller will never go to a liquor shop. The people who called about the girl are also contractors who feel they have done you a favor. She is a commercial girl, so look at my face. You favored her, and now she is naked in the market; she is commercial. If anyone puts me in a commercial, I'll break their face. Respect is a big thing for us. Since she is being called a commercial girl professionally, we should also accept this. If someone writes from a Muslim-named ID, “I support Urfi Javed,” I will definitely see that post. If you expose your mother, sister, daughter, or wife in the same way and say, “I support Urfi Javed,” then write from a Muslim-named ID, “I support Urfi Javed.” These are all enemies of our community, whether they create social media IDs or fake identities to defame us. They support such girls and ask questions. If your sister, daughter-in-law, or daughter were like this, would you support them? This is the biggest question. What is your message to those who support this or those who are silent? It’s not always like this against girls. Now, I know that it's the rainy season here; I am going through mud. I know that stones will fly, but I threw stones in the mud. This was my strength. No one wants to speak, who will fight, who will take the shame? A friend messaged me; this case is very bad and painful. My friend’s comments are still on my live video. I said, don't talk to this girl; she is very rude. I did my job. I felt that women were being insulted, the community was being defamed, the country's name was being spoiled, the city was being defamed; Mumbai is so naked that girls roam naked and get less work. I did my work. The girl did wrong to me. My appeal is now directly to them, not to the contractors of the law. No office, no office, do this. I have faith in the Constitution and citizens. The police station will remain here. She wants to apologize. I am not against the religion of apology; I accept the religion of apology. I believe in forgiveness. Basically, whatever she wants to say, she should say it in court. I don't want to meet her personally. If she apologizes, the matter will end. This is the decision. It is only fair that she apologizes to the entire community. She said that I don't belong to Islam, I don't believe in Allah. She talks about the Quran. What is written in the Quran? Read it. I will share a video with you. A man from Mecca shared it with me, saying what the Quran says. But what should I say? My whole thing will be spoiled. How can you take the name of Allah or the Quran? The Quran says that you cannot see women like that. You're roaming naked and showing the world. Jai Hind, Jai Maharashtra.
