Police are investigating an activist once nominated for a Muslim of the year award after she was filmed telling a rally that “jihad is the only solution”.
Sumaira Farrukh, 38, made the statement during a demonstration in Birmingham last month, attended by hundreds of people protesting against India’s plans to strip Kashmir of self-rule.
Ms Farrukh, a journalist and founder of the Muslim channel Noor TV, has defended the phrase and said that “jihad” simply meant “a struggle”. She claims to have been singled out because she is “an outspoken woman in a headscarf,” the Daily Mail reported.
