Slip with Christian verse distributed by Vizag police, netizens question police explanation: Details

On Friday (November 25), the Vizag Traffic Police Department came under scanner after a copy of a bill, embossed with the image of Jesus Christ and a biblical verse, went viral on social media.

An image of the contentious bill was posted on Twitter by TDP leader Aman Venkata Ramana Reddy. The slip, issued on Friday, charged a customer ₹80 for ferrying him/her via auto from the railway station to VIP Road in Vizag.

Interestingly, the bill mentioned ‘Traffic Police, Visakhapatnam City’ at the top while the image of Jesus Christ was seen printed at the bottom. It also followed a verse from the Bible, which read, “The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.”

The same copy of the bill was also shared on the micro-blogging site by RSS ideologue, Ratan Sharda. “Traffic police challan in #AndhraPradesh comes with a message of #Jesus! Viva #Secularism. Why is no Indian going to courts? Are lawyers of AP only busy making money?” he asked.

Following outrage on social media, the Vizag police issued an explanation of the matter. It claimed, “The slips handed over by one autodriver to head constable unfortunately with his ignorance in emergency he distributed the slips.”

“It was stopped immediately after coming to notice. It was not done intentionally,” the Twitter handle of the Vizag City Police asserted. However, netizens were not convinced by the clarification and accused the cops of deceit.

One Phani Kiran wrote, “One auto driver, one head constable and one CM – 3 undercover agents.” He suggested that the trio are complicit in the propagation of Christianity using the State’s resources.

Another user accused the Vizag police of brushing the matter under carpet. “Nice cover”, he tweeted.

“On the slip there is clear mention of Traffic Police, Visakhapatnam. If the entire Police Department of Vizag district practices Christianity, it’s ok. Just do not lie which is against your religion,” one Twitter user wrote.

Another user suggested that the cops learn the art of lying when quizzed on issues of public interest. “If you choose to lie atleast make it believable,” he wrote.

One Hari Damcherla urged the cops to submit the script of the story to acclaimed director Rahamouli for a new movie. “Shame on Andhra Pradesh police. Who ever doing this resign and join in church” he said.

“Police department behave yourself, maintain the integrity of the police, and don’t be like goats in front of YCP party members,” another Twitter user emphasised.

While speaking about the matter, a source from Vijaywada told Opindia that the slip is not a challan from the police. He informed that the image that is doing the rounds of the internet is in fact the pre-paid bill of auto service, available at railway stations.

On being asked about the statement issued by the Vizag police, he said, “Cover up. Nothing much. I have seen mushrooming of churches in Vijaywada ever since Jaganmohan Reddy took charge as the Andhra CM.” Our source chose to speak anonymously for fear of backlash from YSRCP supporters.

G-20 leaders start India visit by visiting cellular jail, the prison where Veer Savarkar spent a decade

The G-20 delegation arrived in Port Blair in Andaman & Nicobar Islands yesterday afternoon for an interactive briefing for the heads of missions of G-20 countries in India. India has assumed the presidency of the G-20 following Indonesia’s stint. India will assume the G-20 presidency for a year and will chair over 200 meetings during that period.

It is notable that G-20 is one of the most influential groups in the world holding more than 60% of the world’s population, 80% of the world’s GDP, and 75% of international trade.

The G-20 delegation received a very warm welcome in Port Blair where they arrived for their India stay. Soon after their arrival, the delegation visited the National Memorial Cellular Jail where the Britishers kept the prisoners they feared the most during the ‘British Raj’ in India. It is notable that Vinayak Damodar Savarkar aka Veer Savarkar spent a decade of his life in this prison.

The delegates visiting India include British High Commissioner to India Alex Ellis, Russian ambassador Denis Alipov, German envoy Dr. P Ackermann, and Australian High Commissioner to India Barry O’Farrell among others.

Speaking to PTI, the MP of the area, Kuldeep Rai Sharma said, “The people of Andaman are very excited for the event, and are gearing up to accord the delegates a warm welcome. Not only will this bring our beautiful islands on the global map as far tourism is concerned, it will also lead to a lot of developmental projects.”

Sharma further added, “I had written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji, requesting him to hold one of the meetings in Andaman, and I am happy that it is happening now.”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said India’s G20 presidency will be inclusive, ambitious, decisive, and action-oriented, noting that the country is taking charge when the world is facing geopolitical tensions, economic slowdown, and rising food and fuel prices.

‘Legal content to be translated into regional languages in searchable format’: Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju

On the occasion of Constitution Day (November 26), Union Law and Justice Minister Kiren Rijiju said that according to the wishes of PM Modi, legal content would be translated into the country’s regional languages. For this, the Bar Council of India (BCI) in collaboration with the ministry has formed a committee headed by former CJI SA Bobde. The committee, headed by Justice Bobde, will translate legal content into regional languages and create a common legal vocabulary for all Indian languages.

Union Minister Kiren Rijiju said, “The legislative department has prepared a glossary containing 65,000 wording of the law. We plan to digitize it so that the public can use it easily. Efforts will be made to collect, digitize and make legal terminology published in regional languages so that it is available to the public.”

Kiren Rijiju added, “PM Modi has said on several occasions that local languages should be encouraged in courts so that the confidence of the common people in the judicial system of the country increases and they feel connected to it. The Bobde Committee will prepare a common foundational legal vocabulary of all Indian languages to translate legal content into regional languages as a first step. It will list words and phrases frequently used in different branches of law.”

Constituting the Bharatiya Bhasha Samiti under the chairmanship of former CJI SA Bobde to bring all the legal glossary into various Indic languages is seen as a step in the direction of the goals of decolonization described by PM Narendra Modi in his Independence Day speech this year. It is notable that according to article 348(1) of the Constitution of India it is mandatory to do all proceedings in the Supreme Court and in every High Court shall be in the English language until Parliament by law otherwise provides.

Mamaearth and its founder Ghazal Alagh tender apology after drawing backlash over the company’s rationalisation of Richa Chadha’s Galwan jibe

After Mamaearth rationalised the controversial remarks by actor Richa Chadha against the Indian Army, the cosmetic brand has rushed now to defence explaining that the comment it made was poorly drafted.

In a regret following the controversy, Mamaearth took to Twitter and wrote, “Mamaearth sincerely regrets hurting any sentiments due to a poorly drafted comment on Twitter. We are a proud Indian company that respects and stands by our armed forces. We do not subscribe to the views shared by any individual who thinks otherwise.”

Also, its founder and Chief Executive Officer Ghazal Alagh tendered an apology saying that a mistake by a team member ‘unintentionally hurt’ a lot of people. Quoting the tweet by the brand’s official handle, she wrote, “Ek Team Member Ke Galat Comment Ki Wajah Se We Have Unintentionally Hurt A Lot Of People, Truly Sorry For It. Aise Kisi Vichaar Ko Jo India Ya Army Ke Against Ho Hum Support Nai Karte. We Are A Company Run Entirely By Proud Indians.”

On Thursday (November 24), social media users called for a boycott of the cosmetic company ‘Mamaearth’ after it attempted to justify Richa Chadha’s anti-army post. The actress sparked outrage on Wednesday (November 23) when she insulted the 20 soldiers killed in combat during the Galwan Valley conflict with the Chinese Army in 2020.

Furious netizens confronted ‘Mamaeath’ about its connection to Richa Chadha and if it supported her message. Instead of avoiding the controversy, Mamaearth put itself in the crosshairs.

“Hey! Brand Mamaearth too does not support anyone mocking our Bravehearts. The words ‘Galwan says hi’ are not conclusive and we interpret as a recall of the upperhand Indian army had in such a tough terrain and even being outnumbered at the standoff,” it tweeted in support of Richa Chadha.

The remark enraged netizens, who called for a total boycott of the company in response to its ‘endorsement’ of the actress’ statement. The cosmetic brand later tried to undo the damage by putting out a clarification. “Brand Mamaearth does not support or subscribe to any offensive views or disparaging comments against our country or army. #saluteindianarmy,” it stated in a subsequent tweet.

The company’s co-founder, Varun Alagh, clarified that Richa Chadha is not the brand ambassador of Mamaearth. “Hum Kattar desh premi hai, shuddh made in India for India and will always support our country’s troops. Apologies if this was misunderstood, getting it corrected,” he said.

Punjab Police asks people to voluntarily remove content glorifying weapons from social media within the next 72 hours

On Saturday, November 26, after an FIR was recently filed against four people, including a 10-year-old boy, for ‘glorifying’ gun culture in Amritsar, Punjab DGP Gaurav Yadav gave the public 72 hours to remove any social media posts promoting gun culture and violence.

DGP Yadav stated that no FIRs would be filed in relation to such posts for 72 hours, after which the drive to remove such posts would begin and offenders will be booked.

“Appeal to Everyone to voluntarily remove any objectionable content from their Social Media handles in the next 72 hours.  CM Punjab has directed that no FIRs for glorifying weapons will be registered for the next 3 days in Punjab to allow people to remove content on their own,” the Punjab Police DGP tweeted.

Notably, on November 23, Amritsar Rural Police arrested four people, including a 10-year-old boy and his father, for “glorifying” gun culture, but the FIR was later dropped after it was revealed that the firearm in question was a “toy gun.” The case was filed at the Kathunangal Police Station.

The boy’s father had uploaded a picture of his son on his Facebook profile, showing him standing with a gun and a bandolier on his shoulder.

The case was filed under Section 188 of the IPC, which deals with disobeying an order issued by a public servant.

The state government has prohibited the public display of firearms as well as songs promoting gun culture, including those shared on social media.

Notably, Punjab has been at the centre of gun violence and gang wars. After Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala was shot dead in broad daylight, the gun culture and its glorification through music videos and other means became a topic of discussion across the country. Recently, even veteran Punjabi singer Babbu Mann received a death threat over a phone call, after which security at his Mohali residence was tightened.

US bans import and sale of communication equipment from Chinese firms Huawei and ZTE over data security concerns

US bans import and sale of communication equipment from Chinese firms Huawei and ZTE over data security concerns

The Biden administration Friday prohibited the sale or import of new telecommunications equipment from China’s Huawei Technologies and ZTE, citing “an unacceptable risk” to US national security. Huawei, the Chinese telecommunications company, has often been accused of spying on the behest of the Chinese government. 

The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced on Friday that it had adopted the final rules, which also prohibit the sale or import of surveillance equipment manufactured by China’s Dahua Technology, video surveillance firm Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology, and telecoms firm Hytera Communications.

“This is the latest step by the FCC to protect our nation’s communications networks. Recently, the Commission, Congress, and the Executive Branch have taken multiple actions to build a more secure and resilient supply chain for communications equipment and services within the US,” FCC Tweeted while informing about the decision.

“These new rules are an important part of our ongoing actions to protect the American people from national security threats involving telecommunications,” FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel also said in a statement.

She added that on March 12, 2021, the USA, published the first-ever list of communications and services that pose an unacceptable threat to national security, as required by the Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Act. This original Covered List featured products from Chinese manufacturers Huawei, ZTE, Hytera, Hikvision, and Dahua.

According to reports, the five-member Federal Communications Commission voted unanimously Friday to establish new regulations prohibiting the import or sale of certain technology items that pose security risks to vital infrastructure in the United States.

This move is the latest in a years-long buildup of US restrictions on Chinese technology, which began with President Donald Trump and has continued under President Joe Biden.

FBI probe reveals Huawei can disrupt US defence and nuclear communications

Notably, in July 2022, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) found that cell towers equipped with Huawei equipment can capture restricted communications of the US Defense Department. As per an exclusive report by CNN, the presence of Huawei equipment atop cell towers near military installations posed a serious threat to US Strategic Command, responsible for overseeing the nuclear arsenal of the country.

Citing sources, the American news outlet stated that the Huawei equipment can not only intercept commercial call traffic but also critical communications made by the US Strategic Command via restricted airwaves.

FCC designates Chinese firms Huawei, ZTE as national security threats

In July 2020, the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) designated Huawei Technologies Co. and ZTE Corp. as national security threats, in a move to drive out the Chinese manufacturers from the US market.

The US telecommunications regulator issued the declaration and proposed requiring rural carriers to remove and replace equipment from the two Chinese companies from existing US networks.

US says equipment from Huawei and ZTE can be used for spying

The FCC had kept an eye on the Chinese tech companies while the tensions mounted between China and the US over trade, the coronavirus pandemic and security issues. The FCC is considering banning these two Chinese telephone companies along with China Mobile Ltd, which was banned last year from entering the US market.

The United States contends that Huawei’s equipment could be used by China for spying. However, the company has repeatedly rejected that it poses any security risk and insists that it is independent of the Beijing government.

US administration had cut Huawei off from global chip suppliers

In May 2020, the US administration issued an order barring Huawei and its suppliers from using American technology and software.

The US administration had decided to block shipments of semiconductors to Huawei Technologies from major global chipmakers. The US Commerce Department had stated it was amending an export rule to “strategically target Huawei’s acquisition of semiconductors that are the direct product of certain US software and technology.”

Propaganda outlet Alt News claims Tablighi Jamaat converted people to Hinduism to target Swarajya journalist; silently updates its report after being called out

Propaganda outlet Alt News claims Tablighi Jamaat converted people to Hinduism to target Swarajya journalist; silently updates its report after being called out

Ever ready to shield Islamists and downplay crimes committed by Muslim youth, propaganda outlet Alt News recently came up with a ‘fact check’ that made a ludicrous claim that the Islamic missionary movement Tablighi Jamaat is involved in converting people to Hinduism while attacking Swati Goel Sharma, a Swarajya Magazine journalist who is at the forefront in covering hate crimes committed against Hindus.

The matter pertains to a shocking assertion made by a man who identified himself as Rashid Khan, who had justified Shraddha’s murder by Aftab, suggesting that in a fit of rage, a man can cut up 36 pieces instead of 35. Alt News published a ‘fact check’ claiming that the man in question is Vikas Kumar, even though he insisted on being referred to as Rashid Khan.

The propaganda outlet even quoted Swarajya journalist Swati Goel Sharma, who had tweeted that given her familiarity with Dawah activities, Khan appeared to be a recent convert to Islam.

“Given my experience with covering Dawah activities, I feel he is a recent convert. I am saying this irrespective of what he said, of which I have little idea. A very likely Tablighi connection,” Swati had tweeted.

However, perhaps because of low comprehension skills and an eager zeal to discredit Swati, who has been a thorn in Alt News and other fundamentalist organisation’s side with exposing Islamists, the propaganda portal alleged that Vikas had recently converted to Hinduism and very likely had a Tablighi connection.

Essentially, Alt News interpreted Swati’s tweet to allege that Tablighi Jamaat converted to Hinduism, drawing ridicule from the Swarajya Magazine journalist, who took a swipe at the leftist propaganda outlet and its founders.

“Always knew those running @AltNews-, @free_thinker, @zoo_bear and gang – are not very bright. But claiming Tablighi converts Muslims to Hindu?”

Soon thereafter, Alt News updated the article and added a corrigendum that said: “In an inadvertent error, it was mentioned in the article that a journalist had claimed that Vikas Kumar had recently converted to Hinduism. The article has been updated. The error is sincerely regretted.“

After Alt News issued a corrigendum, Swati took a dig at the portal for making more “inadvertent errors” than fact checks.

A man who identifies himself as Rashid Khan justifies the murder of Shraddha Walkar

While the police claimed that the man who justified the murder of Shraddha Walkar is Vikas Kumar, he has been consistently referring to himself as Rashid Khan and insisting others call him Rashid. The controversy erupted after he justified the murder of Shraddha Walkar, alleging that in a fit of rage of, a man can cut up a woman in 36 pieces instead of 35.

On November 14, the Delhi Police solved the six-month-old murder case of Shraddha Walkar and arrested Aftab Poonawala for murdering her, and then chopping her into 35 small pieces. Aftab executed the murder on May 18 and stored her body parts in the refrigerator. He then disposed of the body pieces in Delhi’s Mehrauli forest during the next 18 days.

The accused was arrested based on the complaint filed by Shraddha’s father on November 10. He stated in the complaint that the accused and the deceased had rented an apartment in Delhi and were staying in an unhealthy live-in relationship. He said that he had always opposed their relationship as Aftab used to physically assault Shraddha.

The girl, a resident of Palghar was adamant about continuing her relationship with accused Aftab and shifted to Delhi with him. Three days after they shifted to Delhi, they engaged in a quarrel and Aftab happened to kill Shraddha. He confessed his crime on November 14 and stated that they used to fight a lot. He said that he murdered Shraddha on May 18 as she was forcing him to get married to her. They also fought over who would manage the domestic household expenses.

Revisiting 26/11 media coverage: When Barkha Dutt shut down blogger Chaitanya Kunte for highlighting media’s role in helping the terrorists

Revisiting 26/11 media coverage: When Barkha Dutt shut down blogger Chaitanya Kunte for highlighting media’s role in helping the terrorists

Today, on the 26th of November 2022, India remembers the 14th anniversary of the deadly terrorist attack in Mumbai, carried out by Pakistan-backed Lashkar-e-Taiba when 10 Pakistani terrorists wreaked havoc on India’s financial capital. 175 people (including 9 terrorists) died in the terror attack and over 300 people were left injured.

The terror attack, which lasted 3 days, was being shown live on our TV screens by the Indian news channels. We could get live updates on the hostage situation that was developing during the course of this terror attack. Later on, we learned that it wasn’t just us watching the minute-by-minute update of the hostage situation, but the handlers of terrorists sitting in Pakistan as well.

In fact, the Supreme Court, in its judgement in Md. Ajmal Md. Amir Kasab vs the State Of Maharashtra on 29 August 2012, had dedicated an entire section and several pages to the conduct of the media and how it endangered operations during the 26/11 terror attack. The highest court in India pulled no punches while describing how the media aided terrorists during the course of this terror attack.

One of the journalists covering this terror attack from the location was NDTV’s Barkha Dutt. While several people criticised media in general, and quite a few criticised Ms. Dutt’s coverage specifically, one post from a blogger by the name of Chaitanya Kunte really attracted the wrath of Dutt.

In a blog post titled ‘Shoddy Journalism’, Kunte criticised Barkha Dutt’s reporting during the 26/11 terror attack. Kunte had given two specific incidents accusing Dutt of being insensitive and irresponsible. In one incident he claimed that Dutt had caught hold of a man who had just ran out of the hotel and interviewed him live. In the interview, she apparently made the man disclose where his wife was hiding in the hotel, which arguably made her vulnerable to being located by the terrorists.

In another incident, a security officer is supposed to have told Dutt that the Oberoi Trident was free of hostages but Dutt had apparently called up a top manager at the Oberoi who contradicted the security officer.

While this blog post by Kunte went viral, even during the time when social media wasn’t as much of a part of everyone’s daily life as it is now, it was suddenly deleted in January 2009. Instead, Kunte tendered an unconditional apology to Dutt. The wording of the apology seemed to convey that Kunte had received a legal notice of defamation from Dutt and NDTV.

The Supreme Court judgement years later vindicated Kunte and what he had written about the media coverage, but by then, the post, the blog, and even Kunte were nowhere to be found online. The threat of the court case seemed to have made him say goodbye to the internet forever, at least with his real name.

Later on, in an interview with Newslaundry’s Madhu Trehan, Barkha Dutt did acknowledge that she had sent a legal notice to Kunte and she didn’t regret it. During the interview, Barkha admitted that perhaps in hindsight journalists made mistakes during the Mumbai siege. However, she did add quickly that when they ‘realised’, from the second day they started deferring visuals of live coverage of the attacks by 15 minutes. She upped her defence by saying that the media wasn’t aware that the handlers of the terrorists were monitoring news channels.

Bareilly: Akleem Qureshi rapes Hindu girl at gunpoint while sisters record the act, accused then blackmails victim to eat beef and accept Islam, 6 booked

The Uttar Pradesh’s Bareilly police have registered a case against one youth named Akleem alias Babu Qureshi. The case was registered based on a complaint lodged by a Hindu girl living in Uttar Pradesh’s Bareilly district who said that Akleem Qureshi and her brothers of raping her and forcing her to convert to Islam.

Bareilly police took to Twitter to inform that based on her complaint, the Shahi police have booked six people, including three women under relevant sections of the law and launched a probe into the allegations. The people booked have been identified as Akleem Qureshi, Shadal, Visal, Tarannum, Shabana and Gazala.

According to the Hindi daily Amarujala, the girl said in her complaint, that Akleem Qureshi raped her at gunpoint while his two sisters Tarannum and Shabana drugged her and made a video of the act. The accused thereafter used the video to blackmail her into eating beef forcefully against her will and convert to Islam. Qureshi forcefully took her to places like Allahabad, Banaras, Akbarpur, Ajmer and Bihar from where she was brought to Agra. In Agra, the girl alleged, that Akleem and his two brothers Shadal and Visal took turns and raped her.

According to the officials, the girl, who lived in the Shahi police station area, used to run a beauty parlour in her home, which Tarannum and her friend Gazala frequented. The victim and Tarannum gradually became friends, and one-day Tarannum persuaded her to come to her house, to which the victim agreed. Tarannum brought the victim to her house and imprisoned her in a room where Akleem Qureshi had previously been hiding. The offender then raped the woman while holding a gun to her head. Tarannum and Shabana, Qureshi’s two sisters, filmed the act. The recording was then used to pressurise the victim into eating meat against her will, converting to Islam, and marrying Akleem Qureshi.

The victim said that she fell for Akleem and his sister’s charming talk and left her house with a large sum of money and jewellery, which the accused stole from her after injecting her with sedatives.

The woman said she somehow escaped from Akleem’s captivity in November and approached the police. Bareilly SSP Akhilesh Kumar Chaurasia confirmed that based on the complaint lodged by the victim, a case was registered against the six accused.
