‘Modi govt threat to Nehru and Gandhi’s India,’ Pakistan PM Imran Khan continues to rant into the void

A day after Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said at a press conference that “Narendra Modi has buried Nehru’s India,” Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan today took to Twitter to make the same gibberish comment.


Imran Khan in his tweet referred to the Modi government as ‘Hindu supremacist government’ that poses a threat to Pakistan ‘as well as to the minorities in India’. He added that the Modi government is also a threat to the “very fabric of Nehru and Gandhi’s India”. Days after Pakistan’s minister taunted Rahul Gandhi for letting Modi get back to power, Khan equated the RSS to the Nazis, “To understand the link between Nazi ideology and the ethnic cleansing & genocide ideology of RSS-BJP Founding Fathers just Google”, Imran Khan said in his tweet.

Earlier also, after the Congress party stirred the religious pot on Kashmir, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan had given the issue a religious spin. Furthermore, Khan has cited politicians from Opposition parties in India to peddle his agenda.

The Congress party and other opposition parties have been making extremely problematic remarks about the abrogation of Article 370. Equating the RSS with Nazis, too, has been a consistent claim made by opposition parties. Digvijay Singh also opined that India could lose Kashmir.

Bengaluru city put on high alert after police suspects terrorists hiding in madarsa and other ‘religious places’: Reports

Bengaluru city has been placed on high alert after they were warned of a possible terror attack by the intelligence officials suspecting terrorists to be hiding in mosques, madarsas and other ‘religious places’ in the city.

According to intelligence reports, terrorists have sneaked into the city from Kerala and are suspected to be hiding in ‘religious places’ in the city. The Bengaluru police have put the city on high alert following intelligence inputs of a possible terror strike. 

In a memo, Bengaluru City Police Commissioner Bhaskar Rao sought deployment of City Armed Reserve Police across the city. Deputy and additional commissioners have been instructed to “sensitise high alert” at all iconic institutions like Vidhana Soudha, Vikasa Soudha, High Court, railway stations, Bengaluru Metro, KSRTC and BMTC bus stations, high-end schools, malls, five-star hotels and markets in their respective jurisdictions.

Meanwhile, the police have stepped up surveillance in Bengaluru. The memo has called for a high level of police presence and visibility continuously till further orders, seeking area domination from beat level to division level.

The high alert comes after the recent arrest of Habibur Rehman Sheikh (28), a terror accused in the Burdwan blast case, by the NIA team. After his arrest, he had confessed of planting two Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) in Ramanagara area. The accused, Habibur Rehman, a suspected member of Jamat-ul Mujahideen, a Bangladesh-based terror outfit, was arrested from Doddaballapur where he was taking shelter at a local mosque in June.

On July 10, based on the confessions made by Habibur Rehman, the National Investigation Agency had seized five fabricated hand grenades, one-timer device, three electric circuits, suspected explosive substance, components used for making IEDs and rockets and several incriminating materials from Bengaluru.

According to TV9, two suspected terrorists were arrested from a ‘religious place’ near Bagalagunte area of Bengaluru city. Reportedly, the NIA officials had nabbed those two terrorists from a madrasa near Soladevanahalli area of Bagalagunte, Bengaluru.

The Wire and IndiaSpend’s Factchecker journalist caught trying to manipulate Dalit victims who were attacked by local Muslims to prove ‘no hate crime’

Activist Sanjeev Newar today released audio recordings of Factchecker.in and TheWire journalist ‘Umesh’ with a minor Dalit victim from Begusarai who, along with his family, was attacked by local Muslim goons, trying to force them to sell their home. The shocking audio recording reveals how the ‘fact-checking’ journalist tried to manipulate the minor boy to try and show that there was no communal and hate angle in the actions of the Muslim goons.


In the above audio recording ‘Umesh’ introduces himself as a journalist associated with faulty ‘fact-checker’ factchecker.in as well as propaganda website TheWire. He is asking the victim to explain the incident which took place in June in detail. While the date of the recording is not clear, it can be inferred from above conversation that it took place sometime in July. The minor boy narrates the tale and says how his mother had been on the receiving end of sexual abuse where the local Muslim goons would watch her lecherously when she would take a bath. He speaks about another incident which had taken place a month prior to the June 10 incident.


He adds how the villagers asked them to ignore the sexual abuse. He adds how later in another incident, his sister was forced to clean the streets. The boy mentions how he had filed a complaint of it even back then. The ‘fact-checker’ journalist then asks the boy whether the local Muslim goons even harassed the other Hindu neighbours. The boy then reveals how the other Hindu families would follow instructions of the local Muslim goons and do whatever work they were asked to do.


The other Dalit families were forced to carry out menial tasks by the goons, which the boy’s family refused to do. The boy says how no one in their family does the cleaning and sweeping work and hence they would refuse. The victim then adds the regular veiled threats they would receive from the local Muslim goons who would ask them to leave the place. The reporter than questions the boy whether the Bajrang Dal was involved in filing the police complaint.


He asks the boy whether the people associated with Bajrang Dal asked him to file the police complaint and if they instructed them to report the incident in such manner. The boy holds his ground and mentions that the Bajrang Dal people helped him file the report but he clarifies how he himself wrote the statement in the police station.

The reporter then shamelessly asks the minor boy whether the Muslims informed them that they were being beaten up because they were Hindus.


“They must not be saying such a thing,” the reporter asks the boy. Essentially, the ‘fact-checker’ journalist implied that the hate crime would not exist if the perpetrator would not specify that he is committing a hate crime. And as expected, this incident does not feature in ‘Factchecker’s hate crime tracker’. Despite the taunts by the ‘fact-checker’ journalist, the boy held his ground.


He mentions how he does not have any video recording but has enough photographs. He adds how the local Muslim goons would often ask them to move because ‘why should they want to stay in a Muslim-dominated locality?’. He adds how they would often tell them to leave their homes and move to a Hindu belt. He adds how they didn’t take such taunts seriously till they were attacked. “You still study, right? You must be seeing all these Hindu-Muslim stories. So I want to know whether you will consider this incident a crime or communal crime? What do you think? Were you attacked because you are a Hindu? If the house belonged to a Muslim, they would have still done the same,” the journalist asked the boy.


The boy very categorically stated how the Hindus in the locality are ostracised. That the are not allowed to even play devotional songs. He specifies that they are being victimised because they are Hindus. The journalist then asks if the things are normal there now. The boy mentions how his mother was threatened to close the case.

In June, Swarajya had reported that a Hindu family was attacked by a few locals Muslims who were pressuring them to sell their house and leave. The Muslim mob had previously threatened the family saying that the locality has few Hindu families and thus they wouldn’t be able to help them with the issue. “Even Bajrang Dal won’t help you,” the men allegedly told the family, that lives in refinery area of Barauni tehsil’s Nurpur village.

Victim Munni Kumari in her complaint states that of the three men entered her house at 1 am, two were masked and one was completely naked. The naked man began to rape her mother, while one of the masked men turned towards her and tore off her kurta. The other masked man held a pistol at her brother’s head. Finally, the struggle ended and the family managed to get out of their grip, but one of the men tried to strangulate her brother. His brother was thrashed by the Muslim men, who also threw a cycle at them.

However, in what appeared to be an attempt to shield the culprits, police changed the complaint of a Dalit family in Begusarai district in Bihar. The family had submitted a written complaint in the case as no police officer was present in the police station. One of the culprits has been identified by the family as their neighbour Laddu Alam son of Feroze Alam.

Sections 447 (trespass), 341 (wrongful restraint), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 354A (making sexually coloured remarks) and 354B (assault or use of criminal force with the intent to disrobe) were applied among others but the Prevention of Atrocities against SCs and STs Act (SC/ST Act) was not applied.

On June 13, the National Commission for Scheduled Castes (NCSC) stepped in and sent a notice to Begusarai District Magistrate and SP informing that the Commission has taken suo moto cognisance of the case. The Commission has demanded the details of the FIRs, sections of the SC/ST Act applied, medical examination of the women, arrests in the case, copy of statements under sections 161 and 164 of the CrPC and the security and the monetary aid provided to the family.

Watch: Indian Journalist confronts Pakistani protesters in London vandalising Indian flag, recovers torn flag

In a despicable act, pro-Pakistan and Khalistani supporters vandalised the Indian tricolour during a recent protest outside the Indian High Commission in London on the Independence Day.

Indian Journalist, Poonam Joshi while reporting for ANI in London bravely confronted the Pakistani diaspora while upholding the honour of the tricolour which was being defiled by pro-Khalistan sympathisers.

Joshi was covering the anti-India protests by Pakistani diaspora and Khalistani supporters outside the Indian High Commission in London in response to the Government of India’s decision to scrap Article 370 and bifurcate the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K).

At one point, a young Khalistani supporter sneaked into where the Indians stood, grabbed an Indian flag, threw it over to the Pakistan side and returned to his cohorts. He then mutilated the tricolour and challenged the Indians to retrieve it.

While the police officers turned a deaf ear to the Indians who brought the desecration of the flag to their attention, Joshi crossed to the Pakistani side, snatched the flag from the hands of the man and brought it back.

In a video shared by ANI, Joshi was seen snatching two torn parts of the Indian national flag from two Khalistani supporters.


“Hundreds of Pakistanis snatched our flag & it took 1 Indian woman 2 bring it back,” she tweeted. “I couldn’t withstand what was happening and [it] really hurt my pride,” said Poonam. “Was there for ANI but ‘Desh ki duty pehli duty’, said the journalist. The dauntlessness shown by the journalist was lauded on social media.


The demonstrators were encouraged by the Pakistani government to amass and protest outside the Indian High Commission on 15 August which marked the day of India’s Independence.

The abrogation of Article 370 in the erstwhile state of Jammu & Kashmir last week has rattled Pakistan to the core. Pakistan had celebrated India’s independence day as a ‘Black Day’ in an attempt to internationalise the recent developments in the Indian territory of Jammu and Kashmir.

It had also taken to Twitter to taunt India on it’s Independence Day. Nevertheless, the silly shenanigans adapted by the parody nation backfired and Pakistan’s armed forces spokesperson Asif Ghafoor who had attempted to mock India on behalf of his country managed to reduce himself to a troll.

In an attempt to mislead FATF, Pakistan registers fake FIRs against terror outfits

0

Ahead of the crucial meeting of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), scheduled to be held in Bangkok in the month of October, Pakistan is trying to create an eyewash by registering fake FIRs against the terror groups that they have been safeguarding for all this while.

According to evidence provided by some well-based sources, Pakistan has been blatantly attempting to mislead the global community. On July 1, Gujranwala police station registered an FIR that was based on the information provided by a ‘source’ about a land deal by members of banned Daawat-wal-Irshad, a subsidiary organisation of Lashkar-e-Tayyeba (LeT) headed by Hafiz Saeed.

“It is submitted that at 1:30 pm, the undersigned along with Mumtaz Ahmed ASI, Irfan Ahmed 1199/C and Rizwan Azam 1184/C was present near Usman Chowk Malikwal and the source informed that Muhammed Ali s/o Salim Akhtar caste Rajput r/o Malikwal city provides a piece of land (18 Maria and 6 Sarsai) with its Khaiwat number 449, Khatoni No. 839 to 840, located near Usman Chowk (Rana Town) Mohalla Faisalabad, district Malikwal to banned Daawat-wal-Irshad, a subsidiary organisation of Lashkar-e-Tayyeba, knowing that banned LeT and DwI are involved in terrorist activities and the mentioned property will be used for propagation of terrorist activities and by using this property, these banned organisations can collect funds for the terrorist activities and financial help of the terrorists”, reads an FIR copy accessed by ANI.

This FIR has been drafted in lay terms and may not stand in the scrutiny of law at subsequent stages, said legal sources. Moreover, the FIR has the mentioning of generalised acts of terrorism with no specific acts connected with law, which makes it weak and fake, opinioned experts.

Also, the FIR does not have any mention about Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) or Falah-e-Insaniat Foundation (FIF). The FIR mentions the name of Daawat-wal-Irshad, an old name of JuD. The timeline of the incident and individual roles are also missing which bolsters Pakistan’s nefarious designs to mislead the FATF.

SS of the copy of the FIR

The final meeting of the FAFT is scheduled to be held in the first week of October this year.

The global watchdog had in June last year placed Pakistan on the grey list of countries and had ‘strongly’ urged Pakistan to swiftly complete its action plan to curb terror financing and money laundering and had also asked Pakistan to reassess the operation of banned terrorist outfits in the country by September 2019, failing which the terror state might face the possibility of getting ‘blacklisted‘.

Unfortunately, Pakistan has a history of retracting from its commitments. The world, and India, in particular, has witnessed this fraudulence umpteen number of times. Pakistan has violated the ceasefire along the International Border (IB) and the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir more than 720 times this year, the highest in past seven years. The figure represents a 230 per cent rise compared to 2016 – it is also the highest count in over a decade.

Pakistan, in its attempt to tackle this global pressure, has once again dusted and deployed the same standard operating procedure which the terror state has been trying to spin-off to keep stringing the Americans on the issue of terrorism.

On the eve of Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan’s US visit, the country made a show of cracking down 26/11 terror attack mastermind and terror organisation Lashkar-e-Taiba chief, Hafiz Saeed. This again was an attempted eyewash as although Pakistan had claimed that Hafiz Saeed had been remanded to judicial custody, it was reported that he was in fact put up in the jail superintendent’s bungalow.

Moreover, to save itself from the FAFT sanctions, Pakistan had pretended to halt intrusion across the Line of Control and shut down as many as 20 terror camps operating in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir.

If talks are held with Pakistan, it will be only on Pakistan occupied Kashmir: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh

0

Continuing with the firm position of the Indian government on Kashmir, defence minister Rajnath Singh today said that any talk with Pakistan will be on Pakistan occupied Kashmir. Just a few days ago, Singh had hinted that India’s no first use doctrine on Nuclear weapon is not permanent when he said that its future will depend on circumstances.


Addressing a rally in Panchkula in Haryana, Rajnath Singh said, ‘on what matter the talks should take place? Why there should be talks?’ He said that if there are talks with Pakistan, that will happen only after Pakistan stops sponsoring and encouraging terrorism from its territory, till that happens, there is no point talking to Pakistan. And when that talk takes place in future, it will be only on Pakistan occupied Kashmir.

Rajnath Singh added that Article 370 was abrogated in Jammu and Kashmir for its development. Our neighbour is knocking doors of the international community saying India made a mistake, he said. Referring to Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan’s recent comment that India is planning a bigger operation than Balakot, the defence minister said that it means the Pakistan PM has acknowledged what India did in Balakot.

Participating in the debate on Kashmir in Parliament, home minister Amit Shah had said on August 6 that when the government says Jammu and Kashmir, it includes PoK also, reiterating India’s position that portions of Kashmir illegally occupied by Pakistan and China are part of India. The Jammu and Kashmir reorganisation bill, which splits the state into two union territories, also stresses that PoK is part of India, and it says J&K UT assembly will have 24 constituencies in PoK, which will remain vacant for the time being.

Watch: Shazia Ilmi, other BJP leaders confront Pakistani protestors shouting anti-Modi, anti-India slogans in Seoul

BJP and RSS leaders including Shazia Ilmi confronted Pakistani protestors shouting anti-India, anti-Modi slogans in South Korea’s capital city, Seoul on Friday.

BJP leader Shazia Ilmi and two others were in Seoul to attend the United Peace Federation conference as a delegation of Global Citizen Forum.

A video was accessed by ANI, shows Shazia Ilmi accompanied by a few other people stepping out of a taxi and heading towards the group as the protesters continue to shout slogans. In the three minutes and 25 seconds long video Shazia Ilmi is seen confronting the Pakistani’s by introducing herself as an Indian. She along with other leaders try to speak to the protestors. She said it is important to “peacefully register protest if insulted as an Indian”.

Shazia is also heard shouting “India zindabad” slogans against the anti-India slogans by the Pakistani protestors.


Shazia Ilmi said that she along with her two colleagues was on her way to the hotel after meeting the Indian envoy in Seoul when she came across violent Pakistani protestors. “On our way to the hotel, we saw an aggressive protest by an unruly crowd carrying Pakistani flags and calling all kind of names to India and our PM. They kept saying Modi terrorist, India terrorist. We just felt it’s our duty to tell them to not abuse our country or our PM”, Shazia said.

However, as the protest grew aggressive, local police intervened and escorted Ilmi and her associates from the location, she said.

Earlier also, the terror state of Pakistan, which is being isolated across the globe, had resorted to thuggery and vandalism on the streets of London. On August 16, thousands of Pakistani immigrants in London resorted to violence to mark their protest against abrogation of Article 370 in Kashmir, stone-pelting, a personal favourite method of the jihadis in Kashmir.

Rattled after India’s historic decision, Pakistan has been trying to increase tensions over full integration of Jammu and Kashmir in India by abrogation of Article 370 by the Indian government. After it’s Prime Minister, warning India of another Pulwama like attack, Pakistan had snapped all bilateral trades and downgraded diplomatic ties with India.

In fact, Pakistani’s and ISI have also been using social media sites like Twitter to spread fake and malicious news to spread fear after the abrogation of Article 370.

JNU should be renamed to Modi National University (MNU), says North-West Delhi MP Hans Raj Hans

Popular singer and North-West Delhi MP Hans Raj Hans on Saturday suggested the renaming of Jawaharlal Nehru University after Prime Minister Narendra Modi post the success of abrogation of Article 370, reports ANI.

Speaking on the government’s decision to abrogate Article 370 and bifurcate Jammu and Kashmir into two union territories, the legendary Punjabi singer during his visit to the university, said that the JNU should be renamed as MNU.


“Dua karo sab aman se rahein, bomb na chale…Hamare buzurgon ne galatiyan ki hain hum bhugat rahe hain…Main kehta hoon iska naam MNU kar do, Modi ji ke naam pe bhi to kuch hona chahiye…(Pray that everyone remains peaceful and there are no explosions. We are paying for the mistakes of our ancestors. I suggest we name it (JNU) MNU (Modi National University). There should be something under Modi’s name too),” he said.

This is not the first time that the proposal to rename JNU has come up in the public debate. In 2016, BJP Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy had proposed to rename the university in the name of Freedom fighter Subhash Chandra Bose.

The Jawaharlal Nehru University, named after India’s first Prime Minister Nehru was founded in 1969. The controversial university is known for its radical, ultra-left wing ideology, which is also the hot-bed for various anti-national movements. The JNU is also the ideological cradle for various Naxal and Maoist leaders since the Naxal movement began in India.

Left and ultra-left wing groups to form ‘Joint Action Forum’ to protest in campuses across India over abrogation of Article 370

The left and the ultra-left ideologues in the country seems to be unhappy about the historic decision of the Narendra Modi government to successfully abrogate controversial Article 370. 

Instead of celebrating the inclusive constitutional reform, a group of 60-70 Left-wing professors, former students’ union leaders, social activists and political party workers have now decided to create chaos inside the campuses across the country by forming a Joint Action Forum (JAF) to fuel protests against the decision to abrogate Article 370, reports The Sunday Guardian.

As per the report, the JAF will involve various Left-aligned organisations, who have decided to drive a nationwide campaign against the abrogation of Article 370 through flash protests and also use social media for the purpose.

Interestingly, the JAF was formed just last week in Delhi where all the members present took the decision to trigger huge protests on the matter inside campuses.

After its formation, the JAF decided that it would create a mass movement against the abrogation of Article 370 and Article 35A. The primary role of the members of the JAF will be to use all platforms of protest, including social media to create a mass movement. The members, with the help of students’ union leaders, social workers and like-minded individuals, will organise protests on the campuses of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), University of Hyderabad (UoH), Delhi University (DU), and NALSAR University of Law,” a source close to Sunday Guardian said according to their report. 

“The JAF has formed several sub-committees including Fund Raising Committee, Social Media Committee, Coordination Committee, etc. These committees will help the JAF in sustaining the protests. The Fund Raising Committee will crowd-source the funds required for the agitation. Similarly, the Social Media Committee, through Twitter, YouTube and Facebook, will help the JAF in spreading its messages,” said the same source.

The ultra-left wing forces will hold a “Mashal Juloos” (torch rally) under the JAF. A similar protest has already been held in JNU on the night of Wednesday-Thursday this week in which around 500 teachers, activists and students participated. During the Mashal Juloos march, slogans against the abrogation of Article 370 and Article 35A were raised by the protestors.

Reportedly, the JAF has also created a team consisting of experts in photography and video-editing to further their propaganda on the issue in social media. The JAF has created various social media pages where they indulge in propaganda videos and photographs, claiming that these have been released by their fact-finding teams.

A similar video named “Caged Kashmir” was released on social media on Wednesday showing some purported videos of Jammu and Kashmir produced by ultra-left wing members including career protestor Kavita Krishnan. The members of this team had visited Kashmir to further anti-India propaganda but it was rejected by the Press Club in Delhi.

Although the JAF is working secretly, the Ministry of Home Affairs seems to be aware of the issue. On Friday, a similar protest was stopped in Lucknow and several members, including Sandeep Pandey who represents the Rehai Manch and Arundhati Dhuru, were placed under house arrest.

As normalcy is prevailing in the Jammu and Kashmir, a certain anti-India establishment within the country seems to be disgruntled and are trying various means to instigate violence against Indians, particularly Hindus in Kashmir.

To add fuel to the fire, some of the sections of Indian political establishment, pseudo-liberal-secular media and intelligentsia are parroting the lines of Pakistan to keep the pot boiling in Kashmir. The Congress party and its ecosystem are hell-bent on inciting the people of Jammu and Kashmir by deliberately toeing the Pakistani line on Jammu and Kashmir.

Army veteran Surendra Poonia receives threats from Pakistan, files online complaint with cyber crime portal
