| Firdous Arshiya, who has gone from being a reticent woman to the emboldened wife taking up cudgels for her husband Mohammed Haneef after his detention in Australia, has said it was ''her unflinching trust'' in him that made her speak up vociferously for him.
Firdous, who had settled down to enjoying domestic bliss and motherhood and is still recuperating from the birth of her daughter, vowed to fight to the end till Haneef gets ''due justice''.
Pointing out that the news of Haneef's detention in connection with the failed terror plot in Britain had come as a bolt from the blue, she said. ''I have never ever been a leader nor have I ever been a spokesperson for anything, but I think it is circumstances that changed me.
''I knew I had to speak up for my husband. If I did not, no one would. The strength, I think, came from Allah, in whom I repose my complete trust and I know that my husband is innocent. It is the truth that has filled me with courage to take up the fight,'' said Firdous.
''I will fight to the end, till I see that my husband gets due justice,'' she added.
''My entire family has supported me and my decision to speak up. There have been no impediments or taunts for speaking up,'' she said in reply to a question whether she had faced any criticism for speaking in front of cameras.
Taking a trip down memory lane, Firdous, an engineer, said though she hailed from a family of businessmen, her decision to pursue engineering was welcomed by all.
