We are helping this boy reclaim his lost childhood. Everyone must know his story - that is directly linked to the controversial comment recently made by a Allahabad high court judge The boy is Vivek At the age of 10, he went missing from home. While playing with some strangers, he boarded a train with them and ended up 10-s of kilometres away from his village That group took him to a madrassa in Muzaffarnagar. Vivek was enrolled, ritually circumcised, renamed Mohd Umar, made to memorise Quran daily Eight years passed All this while, Vivek told madrassa managers the name of his village and his parents. But no effort was made to reunite him with his family When he turned 18, madrassa decided to send him to a Gulf country for labour work. When Vivek went to passport office, his fingerprint revealed his Aadhaar-linked details - his real name and his address in a village in UP’s Hardoi Passport official alerted the pradhan of a nearby Hindu village who alerted the police. Eventually, Vivek’s parents were traced and he was reunited with his family @KanoongoPriyank took cognisance of the incident, raided the madrassa and issued directions asking all government-aided madrasas in UP to disclose how many children of Hindu parents were enrolled with them As revealed yesterday, none has complied. Instead, an Allahabad High Court judge made a controversial remark on Kanoongo over this very order I contacted Vivek recently. He is now 20 He wants to resume his education He is practically illiterate and works as welding labour We - @SewaNyaya and @RashtraJyoti - are going to help Vivek return to school He will reclaim the years stolen from him. Will share details soon.
