‘I love my country and stand for nation’s interest’: Diljit Dosanjh postpones USA show after FWICE says show is promoted by Pakistani national

Singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh has decided to postpone his US tour after Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) wrote to him asking him not to perform at a show promoted by a Pakistani national.

Dosanjh posted a message on Twitter informing his decision, although he denied any link between the show and any Pakistani national. He also said that he was not aware of any intimation by the federation to not take part in shows promoted by Pakistanis. He said that his contract is only with “Shri Balaji Entertainment”, all his dealings are with this organisation and nobody else is mentioned in the contract, as alleged in the letter sent by the Federation.


But responding to the letter of FWICE, he has decided to postpone his Houston show at this time, he informed. He ended the message with “I love my country and will always stand for the greater interest of the nation”.

On September 3 the Federation of Western India Cine Employees had sent a letter to the Minister of External Affairs asking them to cancel the visa of Dilip Dosanjh, who was scheduled to visit the US to perform in a show on 21st September. The federation wrote that the show is being promoted by Rehan Siddiqi, a Pakistani national. The FWICE had said that Dosanjh is a thorough gentleman and a superb singer/actor, but he has been allured by Siddiqi.

On the light of this situation, the federation had requested the minister to cancel the visa granted of Diljit Dosanjh and his troupe, or reject the application for visa. FWICE said that this step will act as a deterrent to those who have forgotten their moral responsibility and voice of their conscience.

FWICE also a letter Dosanjh also on 6th September, asking him to cancel the show in USA, as it will be befitting in the current time.

FWICE letter to Diljit Dosanjh

The federation said that there is an unbridled race of artists/ singers/ dancers/ anchors/performers to perform in shows promoted by Pakistani national Rehan Siddiqi, despite strict warnings issued to them. They said that they are deeply concerned and anguished by various artists as they are ‘knowingly’ performing in India despite the film bodies strict warnings.

In a press release issued on 31st August, they had said that actor Saif Ali Khan and singer Shreya Ghoshal are performing in the USA at the behest of Sddiqi, who is the promoter of the shows.

“We have taken a serious note of it, as FWICE has zero tolerance for such performers and condemn it as antinational and unpatriotic bordering to treason with your own country”, the said. The FWICE asked the artists not to give priority to monetary considerations and refrain from being part of any project involving Pakistani nationals and performers anywhere in the world.

Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) is a film industry worker’s union based in Mumbai. It has over 5,00,000 members, and it is the mother body of over 20 organisations related to various crafts of TV and cinema.

0

In Meerut’s Prahladnagar, communal tensions prevail after a girl went ‘missing’ after one Jameel allegedly kidnapped her. As reported by Amar Ujala, Jameel used to work at cement trader’s office since some time. He has a father to three children. On Tuesday, the girl went ‘missing’ and her family members alleged Jameel kidnapped her.

Since the accused was of different community than the girl, it led to communal tension. Soon enough, the police arrived on spot and started investigating the case. The calmed down the people started searching for the missing girl. However, they could not find clues.

The police reportedly even went to the accused’s village and detained three people who are currently being questioned. “We have registered a case and search for the girl is on. However, there is no communal tension,” Amar Ujala quotes Circle Officer Dinesh Shukla saying.

This is not the first time Prahladnagar has has communal tension brewing. In June this year, two boys, who were riding a two-wheeler fired shots in the air from a toy gun near a temple and escaped. The minor boys had allegedly fired the toy guns outside a temple with an intention to spread fear.

DD journalist exposes The Wire’s nefarious lies about no newspapers being printed in Kashmir

Ever since the government of India stripped Article 370 and bifurcated the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir into two Union Territories, leftist ‘journalists’ and media portals have been going overboard claiming all kinds of atrocities and human rights violation by security forces in Kashmir.

Keeping true to their constant narrative peddling, leftist portal The Wire had shared a video where ‘senior journalists’ were seen discussing the issue of Jammu and Kashmir. Senior Journalist Jaishankar Gupta, who was a part of the discussion panel with Urmilesh and fellow journalist Prem Shankar Jha, stated in the video that after 5th August 2019, not a single newspaper has been printed in Jammu and Kashmir. The video was posted by The Wire on 26 August.

Doordarshan journalist Ashok Shrivastav has exposed the lies of these so-called ‘senior journalists’ and ‘Kashmir experts’. In a TV debate, Shrivastav showed a clip of the video and proved that the claims made by the ‘senior journalists’ are false and there are a number of newspapers being published regularly from Srinagar itself.


In the video by The Wire, it was claimed that the current situation in Jammu and Kashmir is ‘worse than the emergency’ because no newspapers are being published and the people are being deprived of all news.

DD news report by Ashok Shrivastav showed the ground reality from Srinagar and called out the lies peddled by The Wire.


Shrivastav listed out the newspapers that have been published from Srinagar all the while. He showed visuals of a number of newspapers, namely, Greater Kashmir,  Rising Kashmir, Kashmir Uzma, Tamir Irshad(Urdu), Kashmir Image, Kashmir Reader, Kashmir time and many more. All the newspapers were the latest editions and there were old newspapers from earlier weeks too, clearly proving that newspaper publication has not been stopped as claimed repeatedly by The Wire.

The Wire’s tendency to peddle blatant lies as ‘news’ has also been exposed before. Recently, they had claimed that Kashmir has a shortage of life-saving medicines as the government has imposed restrictions in the region. Their lie was called out by the authorities who shared data to show that there has been no medicine shortage in shops or with distributors.

Recently, a journalist from The Wire was caught trying to manipulate the statement of Dalit victims who were attacked by Muslims, in order to claim that there was no hate crime involved.

The Wire constantly publishes articles fanning an anti-India and anti-Hindu narrative. They were also recently slammed by the Supreme Court for their claims against Jay Shah in a defamation case filed by Shah. The SC had termed The Wire’s coverage as ‘nothing short of yellow journalism’.

Jammu and Kashmir: Top LeT terrorist responsible for attack on fruit trader’s family killed by security forces in Sopore

0

A high-ranking Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist identified as Asif has been killed in an encounter with security forces in Sopore of Jammu and Kashmir, reports ANI.

According to reports, terrorist Asif was responsible for a recent shootout and injuries to the family members of a fruit trader in Sopore. The injured also included a young girl Asma Jan. He was also responsible for shooting at a migrant labourer Shafi Alam in Sopore.


Reportedly, Asif was travelling in a car when he was intercepted by the security forces at a crossing. However, he did not stop and opened fire at the forces, following which the forces retaliated and Asif was killed in the shootout.

On Friday, four members of a family, including a 2-year-old infant, were injured after terrorists opened fire at a fruit trader’s house in Jammu and Kashmir’s Sopore district. The attack was the result of challenging the terrorists’ warning to keep the shop shut as a mark of protest against centre’s move to end special status to the state under Article 370, police said. The terrorists, by carrying out such attacks, attempt to instil fear among the people and disrupt peace in the Valley.

The neutralising of the Lashkar terrorist comes after Jammu and Kashmir police arrested eight LeT terrorists, who were involved in threatening and intimidation of locals by publishing and circulating of posters on the behest of Pakistan sponsored terror organisations.

The arrested have been identified as Aijaz Mir, Omar Mir, Tawseef Najar, Imitiyaz Najar, Omar Akbar, Faizan Latief, Danish Habib, and Showkat Ahmad Mir. The police are also investigating the complicity of terrorists in the recent killing of civilians in the area.

NPR producer Furkan Khan uses the language used by Pulwama terrorist against Hindus, deletes tweet after outrage

That the western media is deeply Hinduphobic is no secret. The Washington Post, New York Times etc have time and again come up with opinion pieces and even distorted reports to deride Hindus. Now Furkan Khan, a producer from NPR, National Public Radio which is a USA based media organisation, has displayed her true colours and used the language used by the Pulwama terrorist against Hindus.

Furkan Khan took to Twitter to assert that if Indians give up Hinduism, they will be solving most of their problems ‘what with all the piss drinking and dung worshipping’.

Now deleted tweet by Furkan Khan

Calling Hindus ‘cow piss drinkers’ or ‘dung worshippers’ is a common insult used by Islamists to deride Hinduism. In the video released by the Jaish-e-Muhammad terror outfit following the attack on the CRPF convoy that killed 40 CRPF personnel, expressing his unmitigated hatred for Hindus, Dar had justified their killings by calling them ‘infidels’ and ‘cow piss drinkers‘.

Using the same language as the Pulwama terrorist to justify killing CRPF personnel, Khan derided Hindus and said that Indians should give up Hinduism to solve all their problems.

What followed next was widespread outrage at the hatred displayed by Furkan and shoddy excuses given by her to defend herself.

Once her hateful tweet went viral, her tweets from the past where she had displayed her Hinduphobia were dug up by Twitterati to show that she was a habitual offender.


In one of her old tweets, she can be seen saying that the Kashmiri Hindus who were raped, killed and driven out of their homes in Kashmir owing to Islamic terrorism were merely ‘collateral damage’ and that giving it a Hindu-Muslim colour is incorrect. She is perhaps unaware of the slogans that were raised from mosques asking Hindu men to leave Kashmir and leave their women behind for Islamic barbarians.

Her hatred was also apparent when during an argument with Kashmiri journalist Rahul Pandita and while peddling her agenda regarding Kashmir, Furkan referred to the genocide of Kashmiri Hindus as ‘migration’. When questioned, she nonchalantly said that ‘she was not born then’.

After the outrage against her Hinduphobia, Furkan proceeded to delete her original tweet where she wanted Indians to give up Hinduism and gave a shoddy explanation for it.

When caught on the wrong foot, Furkan first defended herself by chalking up her tweet to ‘sarcasm’ and also said that ‘trolls’ were missing the context. One does wonder what ‘context’ could justify her continued Hinduphobia and her speaking the language of terrorists.

She then deleted her tweet saying that she did not want to be ‘misrepresented’.

One does wonder how Furkan could have been misrepresented considering her tweet was rather clear. She had asked Indians to give up Hinduism to solve their issues. Not only that, but she had also called Hindus people who consume ‘cow piss’. If she was not a Hinduphobic, Islamist bigot, she would not have used those words, to begin with.

However, after hours of outrage, Furkan Khan tendered a shoddy apology for her bigotry.

Interestingly, after brazening it out and blaming ‘trolls’ for misinterpreting her, she issued a half hearted apology and declared that she will be ‘off Twitter for a while’.

This is considered a classic tactic of thee ‘liberals’. After their general Hinduphobic rants and blaming ‘trolls’, they go off Twitter for a while till the steam blows off and they can be back to spread their propaganda.

Furkan Khan’s mindset can also be judged by her Instagram profile where she displays her Hinduphobic and anti-India tendencies.

In one of her posts, she publishes the photograph of a wall in Kashmir that hails slain terrorist Burhan Wani and says that the ‘writing is on the wall’.

She concocts a scenario where ‘machine guns’ is blaring even though the police and security forces have categorically said that not a single live bullet has been fired in Kashmir since the lockdown and abrogation of Article 370.

With such hatred for India and Hindus, one does wonder how she can assert that she had no intention of insulting Hindus with her Tweet.

As the clamour to have NPR take action against their bigoted producer grows, one wonders if the American portal which is known for its Left bias is going to act against the blatant bigotry of its journalist.

Citing Hadiya case, 16-year-old Muslim girl approaches SC to hold her ‘marriage’ valid per Islamic law as she has attained puberty

0

The Supreme Courts verdict in the cases of Hadiya and Shafin Jahan in 2018 had recognised the ‘sharia’ provision of attaining puberty as a condition for a valid Muslim marriage. Now, a 16-year-old Muslim girl has petitioned the court to hold her marriage valid since she has attained puberty.

As per a report in Times of India, a 16-year-old girl from Uttar Pradesh has moved to the Supreme Court through advocate Dushyant Parasar, challenging the Allahabad High Court’s decision to send her to a woman’s shelter home terming her ‘marriage’ invalid because she is underage.

The 16-year-old has cited the 2018 SC verdict on the Shafin Jahan case, where the court had recognised the 4 points that hold an Islamic marriage ‘valid’.

The 4 conditions were:

  1. Both the individuals are the adherents of Islam
  2. Both were the age of puberty
  3. There were an offer and acceptance in the presence of two witnesses and the giving of ‘Mehr’
  4. Absence of a prohibited degree of relationship

It is notable here that Indian law holds the legal age for marriage at 18 years for girls and 21 years for boys under the Special Marriage Act and the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006. However, in the case of Shafin Jahan Vs KM Ashokan in 2018, the SC had recognised the above provisions under Muslim law and had held the marriage of Shafin Jahan, and Hadiya (formerly Akhila Ashokan) as valid after Hadiya, then 26, had stated that marrying Shafin was her own decision.

The Kerala High Court had in 2017, called the marriage of Hadiya and Shafin Jahan a ‘sham’ and annulled it. Hadiya and Shafin had moved to the Supreme Court against the HC order and the SC had in March 2018, held their marriage valid. Shafin is under investigation by NIA for links to terrorist organisations and Hadiya’s father had alleged that he had forcefully converted his daughter.

A bench of Justices NV Ramana, Indira Banerjee and Ajay Rastogi had accepted the  UP teenager’s petition and had sent a notice to the UP government to respond within 2 weeks. Advocate Parashar has argued that as the 16-year-old has attained puberty, and all other conditions of a Muslim marriage have been met, her marriage to the 24-year-old man should be valid.

The girl’s father had filed a police complaint in Bahraich stating that the man had kidnapped his daughter. The girl, however, registered a statement before a magistrate under the Criminal Procedure Code and stated that she has married the man under her own volition. A Bahraich court had held the marriage as invalid considering the girl’s age. The girl’s ‘husband’ had filed a Habeas Corpus petition in the Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad HC. The Allahabad HC had dismissed the petition recently citing the Juvenile Justice Act for the girl’s age.

Advocate Parashar has cited the Shafin Jahan judgement where the SC had stated hat a woman had the right to choose a life partner. He further stated that the 16-year-old girl’s father is interfering with her right to live with her life partner whom she had chosen after attaining puberty and married through a valid ‘Nikahnama’.

The girl, a Muslim teenager of 16, had married a man named Javed against her family’s wishes on 22 June in Bahraich, UP.

‘Journalist’ Abhisar Sharma spreads fake news by morphing images to target other journalist, deletes after getting caught

Self-proclaimed journalist Abhisar Sharma is an embarrassment. He has now moved on from making ‘investigative videos’ for train tragedies to propagate the ‘headlight theory’ to using morphed images of journalists from other media houses to peddle fake news and narrative. When he is caught, he quietly deletes the video and uploads an edited one without any disclaimer.

In his show on HW Network, a platform used by molestation accused Vinod Dua to propagate fake news as well, Abhisar Sharma edited images of the content of a show to target Aaj Tak journalist Chitra Tripathi. He posted a propaganda video on Tuesday to question the silence of some of the journalists after another controversial journalist and hero of Indian ‘liberal-secular’ media – Ravish Kumar won the Ramon Magsaysay award.

Questioning their integrity, Abhisar Sharma put out an image of a show hosted by Chitra Tripathi in which it can be seen that the title card of the show has been carefully edited out by Abhisar Sharma to convey that the anchor credited Prime Minister Modi for the success of Chandrayaan-2 mission. However, in reality, there was no reference to PM Modi in the show.

A Twitter user Bala(@erbmjha) has shared the video on social media after which Abhisar Sharma deleted the original video and uploaded an edited version.


Chitra Tripathi’s show on Aaj Tak had a title “Ab Chaand Hamara Mutti Mein (Now, the moon is within our reach)”. But, Abhisar Sharma, who has an inherent hatred towards Prime Minister edited out the title part to “Ab Chaand Modi ki Mutti Mein (Now, the moon is within Modi’s reach) to target Chitra Tripathi.

Despite resorting to peddling outright lies on other journalists, Abhisar Sharma has not apologised yet for spreading fake news. However, he has silently deleted the original video from the social media platforms while uploading it again with editing out the fake news part where he had foul-mouthed other journalists for doing their job.

It seems that propagating fake news has become an inevitable part of self-proclaimed ‘journalist’ Abhisar Sharma’s livelihood. It is not the first time that he has been caught spreading fake news.

Recently, after the historic abrogation of Article 370, ‘journalist’ Abhisar Sharma had provided fuel to Pakistan propaganda machinery. A Pakistani journalist Hamid Mir had shared a video where Abhisar Sharma had complained about few jokes circulating on social media after the abrogation of Article 370.

Abhisar Sharma, who claims to be a journalist has been known for his hatred towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Sharma has been caught several times on social media for indulging in false propaganda and false news. During his association with leftist propaganda website The Wire, Sharma had ‘investigated’ the tragic Amritsar Train accident. He had resorted to spreading fake news after he had said that the train’s top headlight was not functioning which had resulted in the tragic accident which had claimed 60 lives. However, after the glaring loopholes in his absurd theory, The Wire quietly deleted the video.

Human rights violations: Posters highlighting ‘Pashtun genocide in Pakistan’ appear in Geneva during the UNHRC meeting

0

In yet another embarrassment for the country, anti-Pakistan posters appeared across Geneva, Switzerland during the ongoing UNHRC meeting. The posters highlighting atrocities against minorities in Pakistan including Baloch and Pashtuns emerged outside the United Nations.


Several groups have appealed to the UN to pull up Pakistan for oppression of minorities. Several banners and placards have been put up by “Save the Baloch” and ” Stop Genocide Pakistan” campaigns across Geneva near the UN Headquarters. These posters point out and highlight how a genocide is being carried out in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region in a systematic manner by Pakistan.

Various human rights organisations have demanded release of missing persons and putting an end to atrocities carried out on Pashtuns and Balochs among others. It has alleged that due to forced abduction and killing, more than 32000 Pashtuns have gone missing over the past 10 years in Pakistan.

Pashtuns, a predominantly tribal people, have been a victim of the ongoing brutality by the hand of Pakistan administration.

Law student who levelled harassment charges against Swami Chinmayanand now alleges rape and exploitation for over a year, blames police for inaction

0

The sexual allegation case against BJP leader Swami Chinmayanand levelled by a law student from Shahjahanpur in UP has been witnessing a new twist with each passing day. In the latest, the law postgraduate student on Monday alleged that the former Union Minister had raped and sexually assaulted her for a year.

She mad these new allegations while addressing the press in Delhi. The woman, who was studying at a law college where Chinmayanand was the director, had gone missing after releasing the video on social media alleging harassment. She was found with her male friend a few days later in Rajasthan. She has now alleged that Chinmayanand exploited many more girls like her, but only she had the courage to come forward and file a complaint.

“Swami Chinmayanand sexually assaulted and physically exploited me for one year,” she alleged before the media, her face covered with a black scarf. “I have every evidence of the crime… go and open my hostel room,” she added.

The SIT probing allegations of harassment on Tuesday visited the ashram and the college run by Chinmayanand where the girl studied. The SIT opened the hostel room of the law student in the presence of her family. The hostel room had been sealed after the case came to light.

Claiming that she had proof, she had asked for her sealed hostel to be opened in front of the media. ‘I will give the proof, including video clips, at an opportune time against the 72-year-old BJP leader’, the woman had said.

The girl had further claimed that Shahjahanpur police was not registering the rape case, because of which she had to approach Delhi Police with a complaint accusing the BJP leader of raping her.

She has allegedly provided 14 videos as evidence to the SIT against Chinmayananad allegedly being massaged by a woman. He allegedly shot these videos through a hidden camera.

Moreover, her family has also provided a pen drive to SIT on Monday. The girl and her brother have claimed that if the SIT does a fair probe the pen drive would help with some vital evidence against Chinmayanand. According to the girl’s brother, the pen drive contains a video that is enough to expose the “real face” of the BJP leader.

The LLM student from the Swami Shukdevanand Law College (SS Law College) in Shahjahanpur in Uttar Pradesh had released a video on social media on August 23, levelling allegations of sexual harassment against Chinmayanand. The student, however, went missing three days after the allegations were made. This had raised suspicion that the BJP leader had abducted her and accordingly, the police had registered a case of abduciton against him.

Interestingly, the ‘abduction’ angle in the case was ruled out after the girl herself confessed before the Supreme Court on September 2 that she had left Shahjahanpur with her three college mates on her own will “in order to protect herself.”

After a week-long hunt, the UP police traced the girl in Rajasthan with one of her friends named Sanjay Singh, who had allegedly made ransom calls to Swami Chinmayanand demanding Rs 5 crore.

After this, SC had ordered the government to constitute a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the harassment charges levelled by the LLM student against Chinmayanand.

The SC had also requested the Chief Justice of Allahabad High Court to constitute a Bench to monitor this probe. The SIT will also take note of the FIR and the cross FIR filed in the case.

The girl’s family has been blaming Shahjahanpur police of inaction and alleging the police are treating them as the ‘culprits’ while the actual accused has not even come face to face with the Special Investigation Team yet.

“On Sunday, the SIT quizzed me for about 11 hours. I have told them about the rape. Even after telling them everything, they have not arrested Chinmayanand yet,” she said.

She alleged that when her father filed a complaint to police here about her physical exploitation, Shahjahanpur District Magistrate Indra Vikram Singh “issued threats,” asking her father to file “a missing complaint” instead.

Earlier, Swami Chinmayanand had stated that he was being framed in the case as a part of a big conspiracy to malign the Uttar Pradesh government’s reputation.

However, the SIT has summoned Swami Chinmayanand to join the investigation.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh to receive the first Indian Rafale aircraft on Dussehra this year

0

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh along with defence secretary Ajay Kumar and other senior officials will receive the first batch of the Rafale aircraft from France on October 8 on the occasion of Dussehra.

“8 October is auspicious for two reasons. It is both Dussehra and Air Force day on that day,” government sources were quoted in the report as saying.

It’s been three years since India signed a deal with the French government for 36 Rafale jets. Rafael is manufactured by Dassault Aviation SA, French aircraft manufacturer of military, regional, and business jets, and is a subsidiary of Dassault Group.

India inked a 36-fighter jet deal with the French manufacturer for over Euro 7.8 billion in September 2016 to arrest the fall of combat squadrons and meet urgent requirements on eastern and western fronts.

Earlier it was reported that Defence Minister and Indian Air Force (IAF) chief Air Chief Marshal BS Dhanoa would lead a large contingent of the Indian government to receive Rafale jets on September 20. However, there seems to be a change of plan as now it is being reported that an IAF team will be travelling to France at the same time to sign documents with the French officials, after which Indian pilots will start training on the Rafale planes.

“Once they start training, they may also fly the aircraft once the Defence Minister and his team reach the location near Bordeaux,” the sources said.

According to reports, though the induction of Rafale into the IAF will officially take place on October 8, the jets will start arriving in India from May 2020. The jets will arrive after accommodating the modifications as per the Indian specifications, and training of pilots and personnel in France.

Although small batches of Indian pilots have been trained on French Air Force planes already, IAF would train 24 more pilots in various batches to be able to fly the much-awaited Rafales from May next year.

Ambala in Haryana and Hashimara in West Bengal will be the airbases where the IAF will deploy one squadron each of the Rafale.
