"What's worse: an emotional betrayal or a physical betrayal? That's a really tough call": NIA raids offices of Krishna Hing manufacturer and its owner Asma Khan Pathan’s house in connection to suspicious transactions worth crores linked to terror funding
On September 5, National Investigation Agency (NIA) struck the workplace of New Bharat Hing Suppliers situated in Nadiad, District Kheda, Gujarat, in association with dubious exchanges worth crores potentially connected with terror funding. This company markets the well-known hing (Asafoetida) brand Krishna Hing. Reportedly, the raid started early morning on Monday and went on for 8 hours, it ended at around 3.30 PM.

The raid was conducted by NIA with the help of the Naidad Police Crime Branch and SOG. The raid was conducted after NIA received an intelligent tip on a suspected terror funding link, which indicated funds were transferred from Nadiad to Delhi to fund terror activities. As a result, the NIA team arrived at the office of the company located at Marida Road at around 5 AM on Monday.

Apart from the office of the New Bharat Heeng Suppliers, the house of its owner Asma Khan Pathan in Amdavadi Bajar Shakkarkui, Nadiad, was also raided by the investigation agency. Several important documents and electronic documents were found and seized during the raid by the NIA team.
Notably, Asma Khan is a Gujarat State Member of the Delhi Waqf Board and served as a municipal councilor in the past.

As per Gujarat Samachar, NIA got a workable tip about terror funding in Delhi against Asma Khan. The raid started early morning on September 5 and went on for over seven hours. The search operation was conducted with the help of the local crime branch and SOG, and it continued until 3:30 PM. The investigation agency sealed several important pieces of evidence, including hard disks, computers and more.
Asma Khan Pathan calls herself a ‘Modi supporter’ and has photographs with PM Modi. Some reports suggest her family used to be Congress supporters, but Asma became a BJP supporter after she got help from PM Modi in tracing his relative after Gujarat 2002 riots. There has been no official statement from BJP over the matter. NIA is yet to issue a statement.

Who is Asma Khan - A Muslim betrayed by the Congress
The story of Asma Khan A Muslim betrayed by the Congress approaches the BJP and is overwhelmed by the experience that defies the media narrative about the so-called saffron party
Many Gujarati Muslims have joined the BJP and they have been trying their best to project their chief minister as the man who could be trusted with delivering justice as the country’s next prime minister. They have become Modi supporters because of his plainspeak. The earliest to become his supporter was Asma Khan Pathan based in Nadiad.
During the 2002 riots, her hing (asafoetida) factories were torched by rioters. She found that both BJP and Congress workers were participating in the riots and when she sought to know why, Congress leaders had no answer. Her father-in-law Abdul Rahim Khan Hingwala was a Congressman.
As their house was surrounded by rioters, Asma’s brother-in-law Navroz Khan went out to assess the gravity of the situation. He was arrested and put behind the bars. When she went to the local police station for his rescue, she allegedly found Congress MP Dinsha Patel urging the policemen to come down heavily on Muslims. Asma was aghast, looking at the real face of the party that her family had supported for generations. When she pleaded with the police to secure the release of her husband’s brother, Patel allegedly threatened that if she stayed there any longer, her family would be slapped with draconian anti-terror laws.

Asma returned home broken and worried about her family’s security. But something had to be done to get Navroz back home. Finally, she garnered all courage at her disposal, put vermilion on her forehead to escape rioters on the way, and reached Gandhinagar to meet Modi who was found addressing a gathering, requesting them to maintain calm. “The crowd tried to stop me, but Modi encouraged me to speak and, when I finished, he said he would see what could be done. This was in March 2002. Within three days, Navroz was a free man.”
Ever since Asma has been a fan of Narendra Modi. The BJP made her chairman of the standing committee of the local corporation — something the Congress had never done. She is confident that Muslims would support the BJP in a big way. (Asma Khan Pathan to Sudesh Verma in an interview in Nadiad for the book, “Narendra Modi – The Gamechanger”).
I had proposed to the Muslims we met in Gujarat that they venture out of the State to campaign with Narendra Modi. In every rally he addresses, one of them could be a preceding speaker. For, Muslims outside Gujarat do not know their story; they are fed by articles and documentaries in the media that rely on cherry-picked quotes.
The BJP machinery is not working along the lines of my proposal for reasons known best to the party.
