'Only sought possession of Bahadur Shah Zafar's house, be Lal Qila, Zafar Mahal or Fatehpur Sikri'

The Supreme Court rejected the plea of the descendant of Mughal emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar seeking possession of his house.

Sultana Begum, great-granddaughter-in-law of the last Mughal emperor, Bahadur Shah Zafar, got emotional and said, "I did not mention Lal Qila (Red Fort), I only sought possession of Bahadur Shah Zafar's house. I don't know whether it is Lal Qila (Red Fort), Zafar Mahal or Fatehpur Sikri...that the government knows.I was hopeful that I would get justice from the SC, but today that hope has shattered. Now, where should I go? Should I go and beg now or defame him? What should I do? Bahadur Shah Zafar did so much for his nation; he sacrificed his son, his crown was taken, but he never betrayed his country...I got an offer of help from so many countries, but I said that I will not leave my nation. I am completely shattered after this...Those who betrayed their country are living a lavish life, and the man who was loyal to his country, his family is suffering today. There is no one to listen to us...I denied the public's help because I had faith in the SC. But now, when no options are left, I will get help from the public.'
