Shafia Zubair, a Congress MLA from Rajasthan's Ramgarh constituency, stated in the legislature on March 2, 2023, that Meos, the Muslim Rajput community in Mewat, are descended from Ram and Krishna. She made this statement in response to BJP MLAs who had claimed that Mewat was a backward region.
In the same way that compensation was paid to the family members of Kanhaiya Lal, who was beheaded by Islamists in June 2022, she also wanted recompense for the families of the deceased livestock traffickers Junaid and Nasir in the Bhiwani case.
She claimed that although the Meo Muslims were originally Hindus and were descended from Ram and Krishna, they had converted to Islam.
Meo people live in Alwar, Bharatpur, Nuh, and some areas of Mathura, the city where Krishna was born, according to Shafia Zubair. I looked into the community's ancestry to learn more about its past.
The outcome indicates that we are descended from Lord Krishna. The blood belongs to Ram and Krishna even though we may have changed our beliefs.
"You should all keep in mind who Meos are (descendants of Ram- Krishna) and think of them as Mewa," Shafia Zubair continued (dry fruits). Nobody should keep pointing out how outdated we are.
Zahida Khan from Kaman, Wajid Ali from Nagar, and Zubair are the three MLAs it has produced. In the following ten years, you may expect to observe the Mewat's progress. Mewat shouldn't be viewed as a backward region as a result, she said.
In addition, she pushed for new schools in the area and a budget increase for the region from Rs 25 crore to Rs 100 crore for its development.
In the most recent Bhiwani case, the deceased Junaid and Nasir's family members also requested compensation from Shafia Zubair. She argued that Junaid and Nasir should receive the same amount in damages as Kanhaiya Lal's family.
"Why is this happening? Different compensation was granted in the Udaipur event and different compensation was given in the Nasir-Junaid murder case," she said. Although it was an extremely terrible episode, the victims received very little recompense. When she conducted Rudra Abhishek in the Pratapeshwar Mahadev temple in Amer in Rajasthan, Shafia Zubair Khan previously made headlines.
The Rajasthan Police arrived in Haryana on February 17 to look into the Bhiwani case, in which the Haryana Police found the burned deaths of "cattle smugglers" Junaid and Nasir.
