Kerala: Madarsa teacher Shahida slits her 6-year-old son’s throat to please ‘Allah’

On Sunday, the Palakkad South station police booked a 30-year-old woman named Shahida for murdering her 6-year-son as a ‘sacrifice to Allah’ in Kerala.

As per reports, the victim has been identified as a child named Aamil. Shahida, who worked as a teacher at a local Madarsa, dialled up the Palakkad emergency control room between 3-4 am in the morning and informed that she had slit her son’s throat. On receiving the information, the cops rushed to the crime scene and discovered the body of Aamil in the bathroom.

The cops informed that the accused had tied up her son’s legs with ropes and then butchered him in the bathroom. Shahida has confessed to the police that she killed her son in a bid to please Allah. Her husband Sulaiman, who worked as an auto driver in Palakkad, was asleep at the time of the incident, along with the couple’s two other children. The Palakkad South police booked the accused on charges of murder under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) Section 302.

While speaking about the case, SP Viswanadh R said, “What is mentioned in the FIR is what the mother told the police control room. Only after a thorough investigation can we conclude whether that was indeed the reason or whether there are other reasons.” Shahida, who is pregnant with her 4th child, had also sustained an injury to her hand during the gruesome murder.

The police said that the murder was pre-planned and that a decision on a psychological evaluation of the accused will be taken only after the completion of the arrest procedures. The cops added that further charges will be pressed against Shahida during the course of the investigation. The accused, who reportedly had no history of mental health issues, took the phone number of the Janamaithri Police from her neighbour the previous day. As per her neighbours, the family were not superstitious and had ‘no issues’.

French President Macron slams Twitter and Facebook for censoring Trump, wants decisions to be based on laws passed by govt

French President Emmanuel Macron has, in a recent statement, slammed Twitter and Facebook following arbitrary decisions taken by social media platforms to restrict freedom of speech. Emmanuel Macron highlighted the manner in which former US President Donald Trump was purged from the internet at a time when the censorship debate has become heated in India as well.

Macron said, “We are very upset here in Paris [about the Capitol attack]. But at the same time, we were very upset, as well, by the fact that a few hours later, all the platforms … which helped President Trump to be so efficient, sometimes, to promote the same demonstrations, a few hours before, at the very second when they were sure that he was over, [out] of the power, suddenly cut the mic.”

“I don’t want to live in a democracy where the key decisions and the decision to, at a point of time, to cut your mic … is decided by a private player, a private social network,” he continued. “I want it to be decided by a law voted [on] by your representative, or by a regulation — a governance democratically discussed and approved by democratic leaders.” The statements were made on the 4th of February.

The comments at a time when the Indian government is deeply unhappy with Twitter as well. The social media platform refused to remove tweets and accounts that falsely claimed that Prime Minister Modi was planning a ‘farmer genocide’ in order to incite communal disharmony right after the Republic Day riots in India.

The Indian Government requested the tweets and accounts to be blocked since it could lead to grave law and order situation in the country. However, Twitter claimed that it was ‘freedom of speech’. The duplicity of the social media platform and the threat it poses becomes evident given the fact that they indulge in censorship based on their political ideology which is not necessarily aligned to Indian interests.

Other leaders such as Germany’s Angela Merkel and Mexico’s Andrés Manuel López Obrador have also condemned the arbitrary censorship enforced by the social media platforms.

Yazidis had to pay the price for not converting to Islam, here are 10 videos which narrate their persecution by ISIS

The Yazidis are an ethno-linguistic minority, who reside in the Middle East including the terror-prone areas of Northern Iraq. They are practitioners of the monotheistic Yazidi religion, one of the world’s oldest religions, and indigenous to Upper Mesopotamia. Ever since the rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, the Yazidis have been at the receiving end of religious genocide.

When the Islamist terror outfit made inroads into the Sinjar province of Northern Iraq in August 2014, about 50000 Yazidis were forced to flee their homes. Their plight was worsened following the withdrawal of Kurdish Peshmerga forces from the region. Since Yazidis were non-Muslims, the Islamic State viewed them as ‘devil worshippers’ who ought to be converted and enslaved. As such, the old and elderly Yazidis who failed to flee were executed while women were forced into sex slavery.

The ISIS demanded that the minorities pay jizya (a religious tax) or convert to Islam or be executed. Eyewitness accounts narrated that several Yazidi women who were raped by the terrorists were forced to commit suicide. Many young girls were sold as brides, and repeatedly raped and subjected to brutal torture. The Islamists would often build makeshift slave markets in Mosul in Raqqa, to sell women to the other terrorists.

Mass Displacement of Yazidis

Twitter user Azzad Alsalem (@AzzatAlsaleem) posted a Twitter thread, chronicling the ordeal faced by the Yazidis at the hands of the Islamic State. In a video posted by the account, it could be seen how the Yazidis fled to nearby mountainous regions from the Sinjar province to avoid forced conversion to Islam. Men and women were spotted walking miles, with their belongings, away from their homes.

In a heartwarming video, a group of Yazidis were seen shedding tears of joy and hugging their children, who were kidnapped by the ISIS 7 years ago. Azzad Alsalem lamented, “Still hundreds of children in areas where IS was in control like Mosul, Anbar, Hawaija and in Syria, Turkey and even in the Kurdish region.”

Religious genocide by the ISIS

The Twitter account wrote, “Sunni neighbors started killing Yazidis after refusing convert to Islam. 10,000 Yezidis were killed and 7000 were enslaved after refusing convert to Islam. 3000 are still missing. 104 victims are buried today.” The video, accompanying the post, shows ISIS terrorists lining up helpless Yazidi men and shooting them down.

Another video captures Yazidi women mourning the death of their loved ones. While 3000 Yazidis remain missing, only the fortunate ones were able to give a honourable farewell to their family members.

Mass rapes and sexual slavery

In a video, an ISIS bride recounts how Yazidi women and even children were subjected to rape and sexual exploitation by the Islamic terrorists.

One woman, who was just 15 years old, was sold 7 times after she was held captive by the ISIS. The believers of ‘sex jihad’ did not feel any remorse before subjecting a child to a lifetime of trauma.

A Yazidi woman, who survived sexual slavery, confronted her perpetrator. She looked the terrorist in the eye and asked, “Why did you do this me? Why? Because I am a Yazidi. I was 14 years old when you raped me. Look up. Do you have any feelings? Do you have any honour? I was 14 years old, as old as your daughter, your son and your sister.”

“You destroyed my life. You robbed me of all my dreams. I was once held by the ISIS, by you but now you will feel the meaning of torment, torture and loneliness. If you had any feelings, you would not have raped me when I was 14,” she burst out in tears.

Another ISIS survivor, who was sold during Eid, recounted, “I was a child when I was kidnapped. I was sold 8 times, 3 of my owners raped me. I was given a gift during Islamic Eid. I was separated from my mother and tortured. My sister is as sold too.”

“Some girls were taken 3 times and they would be sold from one to another. Some of the girls were just 10 years old. You could hear them scream and cry when they were taken away,” one woman narrated. Another Yazidi informed that they were starved to death and how they would wish that the US airstrike killed them (to escape the starvation).

In 2014, the United Nations reported that about 5000 Yazidis were murdered while 5000-7000 women and children were captured. In its digital magazine Dabiq, ISIS justified, “One should remember that enslaving the families of the (non-believers) and taking their women as concubines is a firmly established aspect of the Shariah, that if one were to deny or mock, he would be denying or mocking the verses of the Quran and the narrations of the Prophet.”

Men will be men: Canadian MP Jagmeet Singh offers Playboy model and porn star ‘desserts’ for supporting ‘farmer protests’

The absurdity of the campaign against India reached its peak when Canadian Member of Parliament Jagmeet Singh, suspected by Indian intelligence agencies of sheltering pro-Khalistan elements, offered desserts to former porn star Mia Khalifa and Playboy model Amanda Cerny in a desperate attempt to downplay the Greta toolkit.

The global campaign against India over the ‘farmer protests’ has devolved into a theater of the absurd since Greta Thunberg inadvertently revealed the Khalistani hand behind it. Since the Khalistani agenda was exposed, efforts have been underway to downplay the Greta toolkit.

The train of conversation began with ‘poet’ Rupi Kaur falsely claiming that ‘diaspora Sikhs’ like her were being accused of paying entertainers to tweet in support of the farmer protests in India.

Mia Khalifa responded saying that she will forward the payment by ordering food from a local Indian restaurant. The poet offered to pay for the dinner herself.

It was then that Jagmeet Singh made his entry. He offered to pay for the desserts of Amanda Cerny and Mia Khalifa to round up the feast.

The farcical nature of the campaign became evident when clueless entertainers jumped on the bandwagon in order to draw attention to what they called ‘human rights violations’. Soon after, the ‘toolkit’ that was distributed to garner support for the protests was found to have been created by Khalistani organizations in order to tarnish India’s reputation abroad.

Jagmeet Singh, here, is pretending to be all about fun and games but Mo Dhaliwal, whose PR company Skyrocket and organisation Poetic Justice Foundation, played a critical role in all of this has worked closely with the Canadian MP in the past and helped him in his political campaigns.

Refusing to pay rent, tenants kill 61-year-old landlady, three accused including 65-year old Ashrafunnisa arrested

On Friday, the VV Puram police arrested three people in connection to the gruesome murder of their 61-year-old landlady in Bengaluru, Karnataka.

As per reports, the victim has been identified as Rajeshwari. A resident of Koramangala, Rajeshwari had gone to Parvathipura to collect rent from her tenants Aleem Pasha (26) and his brother Jilaan (20) at around 10:30 am on Thursday (February 4). Pasha had not paid his rent since March last year. Whenever Rajeshwari would ask for money, he would say that his catering business was yet to pick up due to the lockdown.

The landlady had earlier waived off his 3 months’ rent and asked him to pay the due rent of ₹35000. On the fateful day, Rajeshwari visited Pasha and asked him to vacate the property if he could not pay. An enranged Pasha then brought a rod and hit her with it on her head and neck. Rajeshwari soon lost consciousness and then died, and her body turned cold and pale. When Pasha told his uncle Ibrahim and grandmother Ashrafunnissa about his plans to surrender to the police, the duo advised against it.

Aleem Pasha and his family members disposed off the body

Ibrahim along with Aleem Pasha, his brother Jilaan and Ashrafunnissa wrapped the body using polythene and bedsheets. They then covered it up with tarpaulin and put in the passenger seat of the auto owned by Jilaan. Ibrahim and Jilaan carried the body in the auto to Kumbalgodu while Pasha followed the vehicle in his bike. Pasha found a stormwater drain near the Marigold International School. The trio dumped the body in the drain and set it on fire using 2 litres of petrol, which they had purchased on the way.

Tenants raise concerns, victim’s son registers police complaint

After destroying evidence of their crime, the three accused returned home, took a bath and cleaned the bloodstains. The matter came to light when the victim’s son Dr. Deepak MR had registered a complaint with the police.

After Rajeshwari did not return home and her phone was found switched off, he contacted his relatives and family members to know about the whereabouts of his mother. The victim had told her son that she was going to collect rent from Pasha. At around 11 pm on Thursday, Deepak went to Pasha’s house and inquired about his mother. Pasha claimed that Rajeshwari had left his house after collecting rent from him.

The following morning, Deepak again visited the accused’s house along with his wife Mamatha and insisted that he wanted to check the rooms. However, Pasha claimed that one of the rooms was ‘fumigated’ and that he could not allow them inside. On inquiring with other tenants, he learnt that Pasha and his family members had carried a tarpaulin-covered bundle in an auto-rickshaw.

Police cracks case in 24 hours, nabs the three accused

This alerted Deepak and he immediately lodged a missing complaint with the VV Puram police. The cops initiated the probe, analysed her call records and found that her phone was switched off at MV Lane in Parvathipura. On interrogating the tenants and verifying the CCTV footage, the police detained Pasha, Jilaan and Ashrafunnisa.

After successfully cracking the case within 24 hours, the police informed, “We picked up Aleem Pasha, Jilaan and Ashrafunnisa who confessed to the crime. We are yet to arrest Ibrahim. They have been booked for murder and causing disappearance of evidence.”

Darshan Pal vs Rakesh Tikait: Cracks appear in farmer protests even as farmer leaders portray a united front

Even as the ‘farmer’ leaders squatting on the streets of the country holding country into ransom, trying to portray their movement as a united front, cracks appear to have formed between the factions of the farmer organisations over the issue of leadership. According to the reports, an internal rift has erupted between Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) spokesperson Darshan Pal Singh and Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) spokesperson Rakesh Tikait over certain decisions made in the run-up to the 3-hour long ‘chakka jam’ that was held on Saturday.

As the 3-hour long ‘chakka jam’ ended with no major impact in the country, Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) spokesperson Darshan Pal Singh had expressed his displeasure on Saturday against Tikait saying the BKU leader, who is accused of instigating Republic day riots, should have consulted with them before taking certain decisions.

Farmer unions upset over unilateral decision of Rakesh Tikait

Earlier, Rakesh Tikait had made a statement saying, “We have evidence that few people would have attempted to spread violence at these places. So we have decided to not block roads in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand.”

Reportedly, Darshan Pal is not happy with Tikait’s decision to not carry out ‘chakka jam’ in the Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand. Speaking to the media, Darshan Pal, a former Maoist leader, said that BKU leader Rakesh Tikait should consult farmer unions before taking such a call.

According to another farmer union leader, Rakesh Tikait took the decision to not hold protests in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand in a haste and did not consult any of them. He said ‘farmer’ leaders camping at the borders along with Delhi for over two months were surprised to hear about the unilateral decision of Tikait.

Meanwhile, Darshan Pal has claimed that there is no division among the ‘farmer’ union despite having some disagreements.

Uttarakhand disaster: As arm-chair environmentalists tweet from toolkits to blame dams, here is how the Tehri dam actually averted a greater tragedy

On Sunday, a massive flash flood was reported from Uttarakhand after the water level in the Dhauliganga river rose suddenly due to the break down of a glacier near a power project at Raini village Tapovan area of Chamoli district. The flooding occurred due to cloudburst and the subsequent breaching of a dam construction site near Raini village which destroyed many river bankside houses in the area.

As the Uttarakhand state machinery was working on a search and rescue operations to trace the missing villagers and the construction workers, a section of armchair environmentalists descended on social media platforms to blame the government for carrying too much of developmental activities in the Himalayan state.

According to these self-proclaimed environmentalists and ecological experts, the construction of dams was the reason for the disaster that occurred in Uttarakhand’s Chamoli district on Sunday. The alleged ‘activists’, joining hands with the usual left-liberal media, put out misinformation about the nature of Uttarakhand disaster and held the government responsible for the same.

Dia Mirza, a former Bollywood entertainer who seems to have no idea about either natural hazards or disaster management, posted a series of tweets on her Twitter timeline blaming dams for the Chamoli disaster.

“Building too many dams in the Himalayas had led to this,” claimed yesteryear actress Dia Mirza.

As per Dia Mirza, Chamoli disaster resulted from ‘cutting trees, cutting into ‘her’ mountains, building dams combined with climate change’. Not just Dia Mirza, even left-liberals, Congress supporters and its troll embarked on Dia’s idea to blame ‘Dams’ for the Chamoli disaster.

In a tweet, Mrinal Pande, a senior troll-cum-journalist who formerly worked with the Congress party mouthpiece National Herald, requested the state government to stop promoting ‘environmentally vulnerable zone’ as a tourist destination and branding it as Dev Bhoomi.

Widening of roads, large water and power projects are endangering millions of human lives here, said Mrinal Pande.

Supriya Sharma, a ‘journalist’ working for far-left portal Scroll also tweeted a report that claimed that successive governments in Uttarakhand, from both BJP and Congress, have put pressure on the centre to keep infrastructures going. She claimed that it was through projects such as dams and highways, politicians made money in Uttarakhand.

Congress leader Satyajeet Tambe said that it was high time that we took global warming and dam construction seriously and treat our environment sensibly.

Contrary to the claims of environmental ‘experts’ that the Chamoli disaster was due to the construction of large dams in the eco-sensitive area, the disaster near a power project at Raini village in Tapovan area resulted due to a glacier outburst. As glacier outburst brings a lot of water downstream, it resulted in water level rise in the Dhauliganga river. There is no developmental activity near the glacier, which is not possible, and the glacier bust occurred due to natural reasons, no dams were responsible for it.

The floodwater destroyed the power project and several houses situated on the rivers’ banks, causing hundreds of causality. The situation could have been worse if not for the flood management operation that the Uttarakhand government undertook.

As soon as they realised that the flood would reach the downstream areas, the state government took effective states to control the water flow. The large dams and reservoirs such as the Tehri dam were used to avert a downstream disaster.

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat took to Twitter to appraise the situation and said that they had to stop the flow from Tehri dam to facilitate the smooth passage of rising waters on the rivers Rishiganga and Alaknanda.

It is important to note that the affected under-construction dam is on Rishiganga near Raini village in Tapovan area. The excess water from Rishiganga will join Alaknanda rivers, thus increasing the intensity of the floods in the downstream. As the state government deviated the flow from the Tehri dam to accommodate the floodwater of Rishiganda, the intensity of the flood decreased.

It is in fact, the existing flood control system in the state through dams and the effective management of the floods saved the day for Uttarakhand.

However, the likes of Dia Mirza and other left-liberals, who does ‘activism’ on their social media platforms rather than on the ground, perhaps have limited understanding about flood control or natural disasters.

Uttarakhand Floods:

A massive flood has been reported from Uttarakhand after the water level in Dhauliganga river rose suddenly due to the break down of a glacier near a power project at Raini village in Tapovan area of Chamoli district. 

More than 100-150 people may have been dead or severely injured due to the flash floods caused due to the breaking down of a glacier near a power project at Raini village in Tapovan area of Chamoli district. 

A glacier broke off near Joshimath in Uttarakhand’s Chamoli district on Sunday, causing a massive flood in the Dhauliganga river and endangering the lives of people living along its banks. The authorities fear massive destruction for lives and damage to the properties.

The flooding occurred due to cloudburst and the subsequent breaching of a reservoir near Raini village that has destroyed many river bankside houses in the area.

Actor Siddharth says Jesus, Prophet Muhammad, Guru Gobind Singh, others were humans and ‘fornicated and excreted’ just like us

Actor Siddharth, today, took to Twitter to deep dive into philosophy and said that gods like Jesus, Prophet Muhammad and others also ‘fornicated and excreted’ just like us.

Actor Siddharth’s tweet

He said that Jesus, Prophet Muhammad, Sai Baba, Guru Gobind Singh, Buddha were all humans and ‘finite creations of God’. “They were like you, they ate, fornicated, excreted and died. You are unique. You are a God. Love yourself. Help others. Be a God..be a child of God. Love will free us,” he tweeted.

Netizens, however, were not quite pleased with what they read. One Twitter user told Siddharth that Jesus was ‘infinite’ and was upset at him using Jesus and fornication in same sentence.

One Twitter user Baisul Azarutheen claimed that all the gods he mentioned were against fornication. He even suggested Siddharth reads up about them.

One Twitter user Abbas claimed that Jesus and Muhammad were messengers (prophets) from Allah and had actually come to stop mankind from evils, one of which was fornication.

Others also tried to ‘correct’ him that Jesus and Muhammad did not ‘fornicate’.

Fornication essentially means consensual sexual intercourse between two individuals who are not married.

Bijnor police have arrested a youth named Mohammad Nazim for posting a provocative message on social media over the murder of Jat youth Rachit Chowdhary. CM Yogi Adityanath has already ordered to initiate a case under RASUKA against the accused. Four assailants were arrested for killing Rachit. As per reports, there was a conspiracy of inciting communal violence after the murder.

Police have arrested Nazim for posting a video celebrating the death of Rachit and making objectionable comments. Since the murder, police have been monitoring social media for any provocative messages. They come across a post by Nazim in which he released a video and wrote, “The throne will be yours but the crown will be ours, whichever city it is, we will rule it.” The video had gone viral.

The cyber team took cognizance of the video, and on the instructions of Superintendent of Police Dr. Dharamvir Singh, Nazim was arrested and sent to jail. A case has been registered against him under serious sections. SP Singh said if someone posts a provocative message on social media, police will take strict action against them.

Rachit Chowdhary murder case

The Bijnor police had arrested four Muslim youth for brutally gunning down Rachit Jat in Bijnor’s Jhalu town in Western Uttar Pradesh. The accused Shadab, Sariq, Shahbaz, and Shehzad were residents of Mohalla Pirzadgan in Jhalu town, were arrested while Iqbal managed to flee. Police also recovered the murder weapon.
