Kozhikode (Kerala) [India]Dec. 11 (ANI): Malayalam filmmaker Ali Akbar said he and his wife would convert to Hinduism and adopted a new name as Ramasimhan on Saturday following alleged incidents of some Muslims putting smiley emoticons under messages and comments on social networks related to the death of the Chief of the Defense Staff (CDS) General Bipin Rawat in a helicopter crash on December 8.
He also suggested that the government should identify these antisocial elements and punish for their act.

He announced that he was renouncing the Islamic religion after finding smiley emoticons on social media platforms disrespecting and dishonoring a brave officer like CDS Gen. Bipin Rawat.
Speaking to ANI, Akbar said: “After the tragic death of CDS Bipin Rawat, several social networks posted smiley emoticons and celebrated the death of General Rawat. They were mainly from a specific community of Muslim believers. If I am questioning their provocative and anti-national statements, that does not mean that I am anti-religion. I stand with the nation against such communalism and deplorable statements. “

He questioned the silence of Muslim religious leaders on these posts. He said: “Several senior Muslim religious leaders saw this message, but they did not react to it. I cannot be part of such a religion. It is a protest against those Muslims who put smileys on messages related to the death of General CDS. Bipin Rawat. Why don’t religious leaders correct them? “
Based on reports that some of the handles were fake and some of them inadvertently displayed emoticons, the filmmaker said: “… if so, then there is a government and the existence of ‘rule of law. They must be identified and punished. How does a people section of a specific community post abusive comments? One of the pseudonyms on social networks belongs to a doctor in the medical school. “(ANI)
