AL-Qaeda chief pens poem for burqa-clad student from Mandya, refers to her as sister

Terror organization Al-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri who was rumored to be dead has resurfaced in a video praising a burqa-clad student from Mandya.

The girl in question Muskaan from Mandya had gone viral for her courage after she retorted by shouting “Allahu Akbar” when heckled by the saffron brigade, shouting slogans of Jai Shree Ram during the hijab protests in the state.

Zawahiri, in the video titled “The Noble Woman of India”, claimed that he was impressed by the girl’s courage and refers to Muskan as his sister. He also wrote a poem praising her courage.

The video was released by Al-Qaeda’s official Shabab media and was verified by the non-governmental counterterrorism organisation SITE Intelligence.

Zawahiri urged Indian Muslims to come together and fight the government oppression and react to the hijab controversy.
