Pakistan defies Russia, supplies arms to Ukraine, provides air bridge to supply Western weapons to Kyiv

Even though the relations between Pakistan and Russia are said to be on an upswing, Islamabad is reported to be supplying weapons and ammunition to Kyiv, according to Geo-Politik citing the report published in the Russian web portal, Riafan.

Islamabad seems to make money off the Russia-Ukraine war by supplying much-needed ammunition to Ukraine. Pakistani companies are also exploiting the ongoing conflict in maximizing their profit and expanding their operations in countries bordering Ukraine.

Notably, CEO of Kestral, Liaqat Ali Beg, travelled to Poland, Romania, and Slovakia in May and June 2022. The report claimed that Islamabad is supposedly part of an air bridge for supplying weapons to Ukraine. It is apparently using defence suppliers and contractors operating in foreign countries to channel these shipments to Ukraine. The report revealed further that the UK is using Pakistan’s Noor Khan Airbase in Rawalpindi as a key base for the transportation of military equipment for the Ukrainian Army.

This report came at a time when Pakistan-Russia relations are the upswing. On one hand, Russia has agreed to provide at least 100,000 barrels per day of crude oil to Pakistan at discounted rates while on other hand, Islamabad is supplying arms and ammunition to Ukraine, reported Geo-Politik.

Islamabad-based arms supplier M/s DMI Associates was in contact with Bulgaria-based firm M/s Defense Industry Group to facilitate the supply of manufactured defence stores to the Ukrainian government. Meanwhile, the Slovakia-based defence firm M/s Chemica had purportedly contacted Pak Ordinance Factories’ ammunition supplier M/s Kestral, on behalf of Ukraine’s Defence Ministry, the report said citing credible sources.

Surprisingly, Ukrainian business M/s FORMAG had contacted M/s Bluelines Cargo Pvt Ltd in Pakistan to send gloves for their army, Geo-Politik reported.

Pakistan’s shipping and brokering firm ‘Project Shipping’ is also expected to send a consignment of arms and ammunition including mortars, rocket launchers and artillery rounds from Karachi to Poland.

Although this is not a single-sided transaction as in the return for the arms supplement to Ukraine. Pakistan has asked for Ukraine’s help to service and repair “TV3-117VM Engines” used in Mi-17 helicopters from the Ukrainian Joint Stock Company (JSC) ‘Motor Sich,’ headquartered in Zaporizhzhia. As it has been an enterprise of the Ukrainian government which it took control deeming “military necessity”. This company has been involved with the production of aircraft engines as well as industrial marine gas turbines, according to Geo-Politik.

Pakistan and Ukraine’s military ties go back nearly three decades. According to data from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), Ukraine has supplied weapons worth nearly USD 1.6 billion to Pakistan till 2020. In the 1990s, Ukraine supplied 320 T-84UD tanks to Pakistan for a deal worth USD 600 million.

Banda: Jahila Begum sets honey traps for men to extort Rs 40-50 lakhs, had forced one businessman Shailesh to commit suicide, arrested

On Thursday, Jahila Begum, a middle-aged woman who honey-trapped people, was caught and detained by Banda police. For a long time, the woman used to practice obscene chatting with men on social media and rob them of lakhs of rupees by luring them into a love affair.  

According to the reports, the incident came to light when a Lucknow resident named Irshad Shahad Khan filed a complaint against the woman at the city Police station. He said that he was trapped by the woman into a love affair through social media and was being threatened for money. He also said that she had already extorted Rs 40 lakhs from him.

The woman was arrested by the Police who formed three teams to look for her. Amid investigation, the Banda Police confirmed that the woman is a resident of Jaraili Kothi, Kotwali area of ​​Banda city, and does all obscene work under the guise of owning a beauty parlour. SP Lakshminivas Mishra meanwhile confirmed the incident and said that Khan filed a complaint in the case based on which the woman has arrested by the Police.

“Khan said in the complaint that he had dialled a wrong number mistakenly in 2011 which belonged to the accused woman. The duo began talking and after a few years, she began blackmailing him for money. The woman had trapped the victim in a love affair before she harassed him for money,” Mishra was quoted as saying.

The Police also said that she had already conned many men in the past and that she had a set pattern to trap men in the scandal. The Police also said that she was arrested in the past for looting a bullion businessman from Banda and forcing him to end his life.

Reports mention that about 6 months ago, Shailesh Jadia, a resident of Banda city, and a well-known bullion businessman, had also come under the trap of this woman. After ensnaring him in the love trap, the woman established a physical relationship with him and shot his videos as well to use them later to blackmail the victim.

She threatened Shailesh to make pornographic videos viral and extorted around Rs 50 lakh from him. The woman identified as Jahila Begum, however, kept on harassing the victim for money and continued to threaten him to make the videos viral. Reportedly, the businessman committed suicide by hanging himself near his own house after which the woman was caught and sent to jail.

In recent days, when the woman was released from jail, she again started her business of forgery through social media platforms and trapped Irsad Shahad Khan, a resident of Lucknow this time in a love affair.

Banda police are investigating the whole scandal and have sent the woman to jail. Superintendent of Police Banda confirmed that the woman has been sent to jail, who used to blackmail people through social media and that further investigations into the case are underway.

Shlokas from Bhagavad Gita and knowledge from Vedas to be included in NCERT textbooks: Centre informs Lok Sabha

On Monday, 19 December, the Centre informed the Lok Sabha that the National Council of Education Research and Training (NCERT) should include Shlokas from Shrimad Bhagavad Gita and knowledge from Vedas in textbooks in Sanskrit from classes 11th to 12th. Besides, references from Bhagavadgita should be incorporated in NCERT textbooks of classes 6th to 7th. 

Annapurna Devi, Minister of State for Education, stated in a written response that the ministry formed the Indian Knowledge System (IKS) Division in the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) in 2020 with the goal of promoting interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary research on all facets of Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS), preserving and disseminating IKS knowledge for further research and societal applications.

Minister Devi stated that NCERT has begun the development of National Curriculum Frameworks (NCF) where inputs from various ministries, departments, states, and union territories are invited from grass root levels. 

She added that the National Education Policy (NEP) 2022, paragraph 4.27, refers to Indian traditional knowledge that is both sustainable and strives for the welfare of all. She also laid emphasis on teaching the world the “Indian way of doing things.”

“To become the knowledge power in this century, we must understand our heritage and teach the world the ‘Indian way’ of doing things,” she asserted.

Notably, the parliamentary panel has also advised the NCERT to incorporate the achievements and sacrifices of “unsung freedom fighters” from all regions of the country including the Northeast.

Additionally, it was suggested that prominent Indian female personalities from various professions be included in NCERT’s “regular books” with their contributions in order to make it “mandatory reading material.”

To no surprise, the move has been criticized by the Congress party and the other opposition parties. The opposition has alleged that the Narendra Modi government is trying to saffronise the Indian education system.

‘Do Namaz after marriage’: Faizan detained for entrapping Hindu minor in Indore, was caught while indulging in obscenity with the girl in Ganesh Temple

On Thursday (December 22) evening, the police detained a man named Mohammed Faizan who was found doing obscene acts with a Hindu teen at the Khajrana Ganesh temple in Indore city of Madhya Pradesh.

As per a report by Nai Dunia, Faizan had known the victim for the past 3 years. At that time, the teenager was studying in Class 9. The victim (now a student of Class 12) was being coerced into marriage by Faizan.

The accused is a resident of Lal Chowk and a mason by occupation. According to the report by Nai Dunia, Faizan lured the girl into his vicious trap on Valentine’s Day this year. He had been forcing the teenager to get married by keeping her family in the dark.

“You will become a Muslim after marriage and offer Namaz,” he had reportedly directed the Hindu girl. The matter came to light on Thursday evening when he called the victim to the Khajrana Ganesh temple.

After he started engaging in obscene acts, members of a local Hindu organisation apprehended the accused. The girl filed a complaint with the Khajrana police, following which Faizan was booked for molestation, threatening and provisions of the Madhya Pradesh Freedom of Religion Act.

According to Sub-Inspector Manisha Dangi, the accused was detained and interrogated by the police. The cops are now probing his messages and social media conversations.

Moin Khan poses as ‘Monu Verma’ to entrap a Hindu girl

In Indore, Bajrang Dal activists recently caught a man named Moin Khan and accused him of committing love jihad. The members of the Hindu outfit saw the accused roaming around and indulging in obscene acts with a Hindu girl at Treasure Island Mall in Indore. 

When the activists asked his name, Moin Khan introduced himself under the fake alias of Monu Verma. But soon he was exposed. According to reports, when the activists asked him to produce an ID card, he confessed that his real name was Moin Khan.

Following this, the activists thrashed the youth and handed him over to the Tukoganj police. Tukoganj police station in-charge Kamlesh Sharma said, “A girl approached the police station along with some Bajrang Dal activists.”

“She had gone to watch a movie at TI mall in the city with a youth belonging to another community. Initially, the youth told the activists that his name was Monu but later when they interrogated him, he gave his real name as Moin, a resident of Manikbagh in the city,” he emphasised

South Korea: Daegu residents roast a whole pig to protest the construction of a mosque, tension escalates after local assaulted by Pakistani student

The residents of Daehyeon-dong in South Korea’s Daegu have been protesting against the construction of a mosque in the locality by some Muslim migrants. As per a report in Korea Herald, on 15 December, the locals gathered to celebrate a party and roasted a pig at the proposed mosque construction site.

As per reports, the Daehyeon-dong locality has some Muslim community members living in the country and the proposed mosque is vehemently opposed by the local Koreans. They have formed a ‘Daegu anti-mosque committee.’

Photographs from the barbeque party shared on social media showed a pig’s head displayed on a small table, and the pig being roasted by enthusiastic residents who were seen enjoying many pork dishes at the open-air party.

On the same day when they roasted a whole pig at the mosque site, the local Koreans held a press conference near the West gate of the Kyungpook National University, stating that a local resident has been assaulted by a Pakistani student of the university.

“The Pakistani student was charged with a summary offence for shoving the arm of a resident of Daehyeon-dong who tried to remove the construction owner’s tent,” the committee announced. A summary offence is when the judge imposes a fine for light offences without a formal trial.

The same Daegu anti-mosque committee members had in October protested against the mosque construction by placing the severed head of a dead pig at the mosque construction site.

The locals said that the assault by the Pakistani student will not be treated lightly. They then proceeded to celebrate a year-end party and roasted a whole pig near the mosque construction site. To maintain law and order and prevent clashes, the Daegu Northern District Police Station has deployed personnel from an emergency team on standby near the construction site, as reported by Korea Herald.

The conflict between immigrant Muslims and local Koreans in Daehyeon-dong

The conflict between the local Koreans and Muslims in the are has been going on for years. Reportedly a small Muslim community that lives in the are has been holding prayers in a local building since 2014. But in 2020, a group of 6 Muslims (from Pakistan and Bangladesh) purchased a plot in the same neighbourhood. In December of that year, they secured permission from local authorities to construct a 20-meter-long mosque.

The immigrant Muslims argued that the previous house, which was used for prayer, could ‘only’ accommodate 150 worshippers at one time and lacked a cooling system and floor heating.

The Korean neighbours, who put up with the loud noise and overcrowding in the alley caused due to Namaz for years, opposed the construction of the mosque tooth and nail. The locals fear that the mosque will mean sudden influx of Muslims in the area and will lead to congestion and discomfort due to parking and crowd.

After granting permission for the mosque construction in December 2020, the district administration was bombarded with complaints from the Koreans. Under pressure from all sides, the officials revoked their approval in February 2021.

The construction work took a hit for some time. The happiness of the local Korean community was short-lived as the Muslim ‘landlords’ won the case in court in December 2021. To add salt to the wound, the top court upheld the decision of the lower court in September this year.

Appeals made to district officials to ‘relocate’ the mosque have also failed to bring favourable outcomes. Finally, the locals have taken it upon themselves to physically obstruct the construction of the mosque.

Several banners have also propped up in the neighbourhood. “Islam is an evil religion that kills people,” read one poster. Another poster read, “We strongly oppose the construction of an Islamic mosque.” Others included ‘Korean People Come First’, ‘a den of terrorists’ and so on.

The locals sometimes block the entrance to the site with parked vehicles, sometimes they even put severed heads of pigs.

Pigs are considered dirty in Islam and the consumption of pork is haram.

Despite the opposition from the locals, the construction of the mosque has been almost complete. It is expected to be operational by the end of 2022.

How two Pakistanis, named in the chargesheet, were involved in the beheading of Kanhaiya Lal to ‘avenge the insult to Prophet’

Months after Kanhaiyal Lal was brutally murdered in the Udaipur district of Rajasthan, the National Investigation Team (NIA) filed a chargesheet against two Pakistani nationals and 9 others in connection to the case on Thursday (December 22).

As per a report by Hindustan Times, the two Pakistanis were identified as Abu Ibrahim and Salman. It has also come to light that one of the killers of the Hindu tailor, Riyaz Attari, was associated with the Pakistani-based Islamist outfit Dawait-e-Islami.

Attari along with his accomplice Ghous Mohammed were also invited to visit Pakistan by senior officials of Dawat-e-Islami in the year 2014. Reportedly, Salman, one of the Pakistani nationals named in the chargesheet, had directed the duo to avenge the insult of Prophet Muhammad in a spectacular manner.

He also told the killers of Kanhaiya Lal that ‘peaceful protests will not ‘yield any result.’ The NIA informed, “Investigations have revealed that the accused persons, operating as a terror gang module, conspired to take revenge.”

It further informed, “The accused were radicalized and took inspiration from incriminating audios/videos/messages being circulated from within and outside India

As per a report by Republic TV, the Union Home Ministry had been suspecting a ‘Pakistani angle’ in the gruesome murder of Kanhaiya Lal and had therefore sent the NIA to Udaipur for further probe.

Kanhaiya Lal murder case

On June 28 this year, a Hindu tailor named Kanhaiya Lal was brutally murdered by two Islamists, Riyaz Attari and Ghous Mohammed for an alleged post in support of former spokesperson of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Nupur Sharma.

It later came to light that his name, photograph and location were leaked and made viral by his neighbour Nazim who had also filed a complaint against Kanhaiya Lal for the alleged post.

Nazim and his co-religionists also conducted a recce of his shop. Kanhaiya Lal’s appeal for security fell on deaf ears and the Udaipur police did not take any action, ultimately leading to his killing. A video of his brutal killing went viral on social media.

TikTok employees were spying on US journalists, illegally obtaining data of US TikTokers, internal investigation finds

TikTok employees were spying on US journalists, illegally obtaining data of US TikTokers, internal investigation finds

ByteDance, the Chinese parent company of TikTok, said on Thursday that an internal investigation found that employees had inappropriately obtained the data of US TikTok users, including that of two US reporters, according to an email seen by Reuters. 

The targeted reporters were Emily Baker-White, who wrote for BuzzFeed and is now at Forbes, and Cristina Criddle of the Financial Times, ByteDance said, though it declined to identify other affected TikTok users. ByteDance employees accessed the data as part of an unsuccessful effort to investigate leaks of company information and were aiming to identify potential connections between two journalists and company employees, revealed the email from ByteDance general counsel Erich Andersen. 

All four employees involved in the scheme were fired, the company said, correcting an earlier statement that one of the four had resigned. Two of those employees were working in China and two were in the United States, reported The New York Times. 

ByteDance said it had restructured its internal audit and risk team and had removed any access to US data from that department. 

Over the summer, a few employees on a ByteDance team responsible for monitoring employee conduct tried to find the sources of suspected leaks of internal conversations and business documents to journalists. 

In doing so, the employees gained access to the IP addresses and other data of two reporters and a small number of people connected to the reporters via their TikTok accounts. They were trying to determine if those individuals were within proximity of ByteDance employees, according to the company, which added that the efforts failed to find any leaks, reported The New York Times. 

The investigation was initiated after an article was published by Forbes, and the inquiry confirms part of that report and highlights the privacy and security risks associated with TikTok that US lawmakers, state governors and the Trump and Biden administrations have raised for more than two years. 

More than a dozen states have banned TikTok from government-issued devices, and the company has been in prolonged negotiations with the administration on security and privacy measures that would block any potential access of US user data by ByteDance and the Chinese government, reported NYT. 

Taiwan is investigating Douyin International, the Chinese twin of hugely popular TikTok, for allegedly illegally expanding social media business in the island nation, reported Voice of America (VOA). 

On Monday (December 19), the Mainland Affairs Council of the Executive Yuan, confirmed in a local media report the allegations made by a political affairs member of the Executive Yuan that the Mainland Affairs Council took note of the Chinese company ByteDance’s opening of a branch in Taiwan, further accusing it of business expansion and transferring cases involving related operators to criminal offences to the judicial authorities for investigation. 

App developer ByteDance, headquartered in Beijing, was suspected of running a subsidiary in contravention of a law that restricts a variety of Chinese firms, including social media companies, from operating offices in Taiwan.

Kota: Rajasthan Technical University Professor demands sexual favours from a student, fails her when refused, arrested and suspended

On Wednesday, 21st December 2022, a professor at the Rajasthan Technical University in Kota was detained after it was alleged that he had pressured a final-year student for sexual favours and had failed her in the course when she refused. The professor is identified as Girish Parmar. A male student who had conveyed the professor’s demand to the victim student has also been arrested by police. The girl lives at the university hostel.

Deputy Superintendent of Police Amar Singh Rathore said, “The final-year student filed a police complaint alleging that the professor sought to exert pressure on her through a classmate. Along with the professor, the classmate was also taken into custody.” An audio recording of a discussion between the professor and a classmate went viral on social media, in which the professor was allegedly heard making vulgar remarks about the victim.

DSP Rathore further said, “The case against the professor was registered at the Dadabhari police station on Tuesday. He has been booked under sections 354 D (stalking) and 509 (word, gesture, or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman) of the Indian Penal Code. Statement of the victim and another female student was recorded on Wednesday, after which the accused were arrested.”

He added, “The complainant mentioned the name of another victim in her complaint. Statements from both of them were recorded. We are collecting details in the matter to ascertain how many other victims are there.”

According to reports, the male student holding communication between the victim and the professor is identified as Arpit Agarwal. Arpit along with another girl student trapped the victim. Arpit’s associate girl student informed the victim that she failed in a project and a subject as well and that she is been asked to contact Arpit in this regard.

Arpit then took the victim girl out of the university campus and made her sit in the professor’s car. Arpit told her that he only does all the tasks assigned by Girish Parmar. Meanwhile, the victim girl started recording a video on her mobile camera. Seeing this, Arpit told her that he can’t help her if she does not wish to pass the subjects.

On being asked how Arpit would help the victim girl in passing the subjects, he told the victim that the professor wants to establish a physical relationship with her. Arpit also informed the victim that professor Girish Parmar has sent a credit card with him and asked him to do the shopping for the victim. Arpit also showed the answer sheets to the girl which were kept in the car. He gave the victim girl’s answer sheet and told her that she can write answers in the same and pass the subjects, the only condition being she fulfils the professor’s demand.

When the victim girl refused to fulfil the professor’s demand, Arpit told her that her degree course of 4 years cannot be completed in 8 years if she fails to do so. He also told her that the professor has passed many girls in the past in the same fashion and that she has to do this only once and she will get expensive gifts from the professor just like other girls.

However, the girl refused and decided to lodge a complaint with the police instead. Following the registration of the complaint, professor Girish Parmar and student Arpit were arrested by the police on Wednesday night. The police have also registered another case against the professor after another female student lodged a complaint alleging similar harassment.

The police have also found an audio recording between the professor and a B.Tech final-year student where he was making similar demands. In that recording, which is reportedly from August this year, Girish Parmar had promised to help her win student union elections in return for sexual favours. However, he could not make her win, and after that, he failed 28 students out of 35 students in the class for not voting for that girl.

It is alleged that the professor has harassed many such female students in the past. Arpit Agarwal worked as a broker of the professor in all those cases. It has also been alleged that when earlier such allegations were made against the professor, the university administration dismissed them, and no victim went to the police.

Shoe thrown at vice-chancellor, professor suspended

After the matter came to light, students in the university created a ruckus protesting against the professor. They held protests for around 3 hours demanding action against Girish Parmar. Students sat on protests at around 10 am in the morning in front of the university gate.

Rajasthan Technical University’s vice chancellor S K Singh reached the spot to talk to the protesting students. But during the discussions, someone threw a shoe at the VC, escalating tensions.

Later VC S K Singh informed the students that professor Girish Parmar has been suspended. A 3-member committee formed by the university submitted its initial report, based on which the professor was suspended. The students ended the protests after that.

Both the accused were presented in court on Thursday afternoon. In the court premises, one lawyer tried to slap professor Girish Parmar, but he was quickly moved into the court by the police.
