Here are 20 heinous incidents of violence, arson, rioting by Muslims mobs during anti-CAA protests

In the aftermath of the passage of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), several incidents pf riots, violence, arson and vandalism by Muslim mobs in the name of ‘protests’ against the enactment of the law have taken place across the country.

The Muslim mobs have descended into the streets with the active support of the opposition parties and a certain section of ‘liberal-secular’ media and unleashed violence under the garb of ‘protesting’ against the Citizenship Amendment Act, which has no bearing on the existing citizens of the country.

Here are the 20 incidents in which mobs, mainly Muslims, have gone on a rampage to attack not only pro-CAA supporters but also the common man who did not agree to their point of view on the issue. The violence that has erupted across the country has caused crores worth of damage to public properties, in addition to the severe injuries that were inflicted upon common man, especially the police officials.

  9. In a protest march in Ahmedabad on 19th December 2019, a Muslim mob had pelted stones and almost lynched a police officer. The Muslim mob had also chased the police officials away while pelting stones at them mercilessly.
  10. In Mangaluru, the violent protestors had effectively planned the riots by adjusting various CCTV cameras in the region to prevent them from recording their hooliganism. The city was ravaged by the violent Muslim mob who had resorted to extreme violence by pelting stones on police officers injuring several policemen.
  11. In a Muslim locality near Jharkhand’s Lohardaga, on 23 January, stones and petrol bombs were hurled at the participants by the local Muslims. Women became the specific targets of the ruthless mob. Shops and homes belonging to the Hindus were set on fire. This created a state of panic and resulted in a stampede. Roughly, 100 participants and 24 policemen had sustained injuries during the unprovoked attack by the violent mob.
    A person named Neeraj Ram Prajapati was brutally injured after a Muslim mob had attacked a pro-CAA rally last week. Unfortunately, Neeraj Ram Prajapati succumbed to injuries after suffering serious injuries inside his brain and died from the resultant septic shock which caused a cardiac arrest.

  14. A senior Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA) worker and an Anganwadi worker was brutally thrashed by a Muslim family in Irukkuzi in Kollam district of Kerala after being mistaken as CAA-NRC officials. The accredited social worker identified as Maheshwari was visiting the house of Sainuddin where they were thrashed and had to be admitted at a Taluk hospital in Kadakkal on Thursday.
  15. A similar incident had occurred in Rajasthan when a Muslim mob had attacked a woman named Nazeeran Bano in Brijdham area in Bharatpur, Kota, Rajasthan, over rumours that she was collecting data for NRC.
    However, she was later let go after proving that she was a Muslim. Bano, who was actually collecting data for the National Economics Census 2019- 2020, was attacked and only let off after she convinced the crowd that she too was a Muslim like them.
    The mob had allegedly snatched Bano’s mobile phone and deleted all the data she collected on an app. She was later asked to recite a verse from the Quran to prove her identity.
  16. One Chumki Khatun’s house was set on fire by a mob in West Bengal’s Birbhum over rumours that she was collecting data for NRC. Chumki Khatun and her family are currently under police protection. The incident happened in Gourbazar village in Mallarpur police station area.
    As per reports, Khatun worked with an NGO on a contract where it was training rural women to smartphones effectively. As part of her training, Khatun collected some general data. This fuelled the rumours that she was collecting data for NRC. However, the police have denied that the incident was linked to NRC.
  17. The ‘Jashn-e-Shaheen’ programme, organised by ‘protestors’ at Shaheen Bagh had resulted in Muslim mobs thrashing Kashmiri Pandits. Ironically, the programme was organised by Islamists to remember the 30th anniversary of the greatest tragedies in the history of the country – The Kashmiri Pandit genocide.
    The Kashmiri Pandits who had presented at the protest site had raised slogans of ‘Justice for Kashmiri Pandits’, which angered Muslim protesters who attacked Kashmiri Pandits.Read- Muslim radicals set Delhi ablaze: What explains the behaviour of these Indian Muslims
  18. The members of the radical Islamic organisation Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) had attempted to murder of an RSS worker Varun Bhoopalam in Bengaluru during a pro-CAA rally.
    The gang had pelted seven stones at the crowd to create chaos near the rally site and to create a distraction so that they could attack stab social worker Chakravarthy Sulibele and Bengaluru South MP Tejasvi Surya.
    However, the stone-pelting did not create any ruckus at the gathering. As their plan failed, the gang wanted to kill any of the Hindu workers who attended the rally. Later, they followed Varun Bhoopalam who was on his way home on a rented bike. They attacked him near Kalasipalya and fled towards Bidadi.
  19. A pro-CAA rally in Madhya Pradesh was attacked by a Muslim mob after the Tiranga Yatra had entered their locality. The incident took place on January 8, 2020, in Shajapur, Madhya Pradesh.
    Fearing for their lives, the shopkeepers had to close their shop and escape from the Muslim mob. A dangerous situation had erupted at the spot after there was a stampede situation when Muslim mobs attacked the pro-CAA supporters.
  20. A student at Patna College was beaten up brutally after he had supported the Citizenship Amendment Act on Facebook. The victim who was returning from exams was attacked by fellow students. The victim had suffered severe head injuries.

The anti-CAA protests which began as a peaceful protest has now crossed all the boundaries as it has not only turned violent but has now become another typical left-wing managed anti-India event. The anti-CAA protests also turned communal, which was manifested through anti-Hindu posters. Later, it took an anti-India turn with protestors openly batting for secession from India.

Interestingly, all the mentioned incidents never made it to any mainstream media, which explains the dangerous nexus between the media ecosystem and the anti-CAA rioters who are now emboldened to create furthermore attacks on innocent civilians.

Kunal Kamra camps outside Republic studio to say ‘he’s not sorry’ after being banned by several airlines for unruly behaviour towards Arnab Goswami

Unfunny comedian and unsuccessful propagandist Kunal Kamra had earlier heckled and abused Republic TV Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami in an Indigo Mumbai-Lucknow flight, and then again on the return GoAir flight from Lucknow to Mumbai, getting himself temporarily banned from flying at least four airlines.

Determined not to put an end to this self-inflicted humiliation, Kunal Kamra once again took to Twitter Thursday, to share a photograph of himself camping outside the Republic studio, captioning the image: “Sorry for not being sorry.

Protestors did not have permission for Jamia march, shooter was walking with protestors before the incident: Delhi Police

The Jamia shooter who is now in police custody had been identified as one Gulshan Sharma (name changed), a resident of Jewar in Greater Noida.

Delhi Police investigating the case have refuted the allegations of police inaction when a man opened fire at protestors near Jamia Millia University today. DCP Chinmay Biswal, speaking to the media said that police were deployed at the usual areas in and around the university and the protestors were asked not to take out this march. Irrespective of being denied permission the protestors went ahead with the march. He also confirms that the shooter came from within the crowd of protestors and wielded the gun.


Commenting on today’s incident the DCP said that the organisers should keep a track of what kind of people join a protest. DCP said that Delhi police have time and again publically appealed to the organisers, not only in Jamia area but also in Shaheen Bagh, to be vigilant. He says that these protests are being hijacked by various antisocials who are creating havoc.


Moments before the shooting, the alleged shooter had gone live on his Facebook page, which goes by the name ‘Rambhakt Gulshan’.

According to Times of India’s Raj Shekhar Jha, Delhi police have said that Ram Bhakt is not mentioned as the name in his document. His family has been contacted to verify. Moreover, police are also verifying his age before placing him under arrest as Gulshan has claimed that he is a juvenile.


A man, identified as Gulshan opened fire outside the Jamia Millia Islamia University in Delhi during the ongoing protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act. He has now been taken into police custody and one individual has been injured. The injured man has been taken to the hospital for treatment. In a video that has surfaced depicting the scene of events, the man can be seen brandishing a gun and raising slogans that are not entirely audible.

In his Facebook post, Gulshan declared that this was an act of revenge for Chandan Gupta, the 16-year-old Hindu boy who was shot at and murdered, by one Salim, following a Tiranga yatra by the ABVP, where people from a particular community had pelted stones which led to clashes in Uttar Pradesh’s Kasganj in 2018.

It’s not yet clear if he was indeed acting on his own or has been paid by the leftist groups, as many suggest, but if we go by the Facebook posts and consider them not paid, this is how it appears.

The injured individual is a student of Jamia Millia Islamia and he was injured on his left wrist and the injury is believed to be not fatal.

While the details are unclear on why the man was openly wielding the gun, people on Twitter have been speculating that it may be staged to get back some legitimacy to the protests after Shaheen Bagh mastermind Sharjeel Imam was arrested.

Protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act have been extremely unruly and law and order have often been flouted by the protesters. Recently, a gun was brandished by one individual at the Shaheen Bagh protests. After the media initially tried to pin the blame on the BJP, it was discovered later on that the gun belonged to one Mohammad Luqman with links to the Aam Aadmi Party. It still remains to be seen who Gulshan is and whether he is associated with any political organization.

Update: It has been revealed that the suspect of Jamia shooting may be a minor. In accordance with relevant laws, his name has been changed after this revelation came to light.

Farhan Azmi is possessed by Babur’s spirit, says BJP’s Harnath Sigh Yadav over his Babri Masjid remark

Bharatiya Janata Party leader Harnath Singh Yadav said on Thursday said the soul of Mughal Emperor Babur has entered into Samajwadi Party leader Farhan Azmi. Azmi had earlier stated that he will go to Ayodhya and will build Babri Masjid there.

Speaking to ANI Rajya Sabha MP Harnath Singh Yadav said, “No force in the world can build a mosque in place of the temple at Ayodhya. I feel that the soul of Babur is inside Abu Azmi’s son(Farhan Azmi)”.


Farhan Azmi had made a controversial comment on Monday saying, “Uddhav Thackeray may treat this as a warning or threat, but if he goes to Ayodhya on March 7, then even I will accompany him. I also invite my father (Abu Azmi), all members of the Samajwadi Party and all members of Maha Vikas Aghadi to join us. We will all accompany him but there is a condition… while he will build Ram Mandir I will build the Babri Masjid there”.

Shiv Sena had recently played the “Ayodhya card” by announcing that chief minister Uddhav Thackeray will visit the city in March to mark the completion of 100 days in power. Sena leader Sanjay Raut had also invited Congress prince Rahul  Gandhi to join them.

Farhan Azmi’s Parcham Foundation and another organisation named We the People of Maharashtra held a ‘constitutional conference’ to oppose the newly implemented CAA and NPR-NRC at Radio Club, Colaba, Maharashtra on Monday.

Though according to the foundation’s president Farhan Azmi, the event was aimed to reiterate the need to preserve Constitutional value, Farhan used the platform to tear into Shiv Sena supremo and Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray and deliver a deeply anti-Hindu speech.

Farhan lashed at the Shiv Sena chief by saying that Uddhav Thackeray shrewdly sought vote in BJP’s name and then used Congress and NCP to helm Maharashtra. He accused Thackeray of terrorizing the minorities and said that he believes that this Sena-Congress-NCP alliance government will not last more than six to eight months.

Farhan also urged the attendees to choose NOTA in the next election unless parties give citizens a clear picture.

‘Rambhakt’ Gulshan shooting in Jamia: A well hatched conspiracy? Here are some questions that need answers

‘Rambhakt’ Gulshan shooting in Jamia: A well hatched conspiracy? Here are some questions that need answers

A man started shooting outside the Jamia Millia Islamia University in Delhi during the ongoing protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act. While walking backwards, almost scared of being attacked by the Islamist mob protesting against CAA, he fired one shot eventually as the police came within an arm’s distance. He has now been taken into police custody and one individual has been injured. The injured man has been taken to the hospital for treatment. In a video that has surfaced depicting the scene of events, the man can be seen brandishing a gun and raising slogans that are not entirely audible.

The man who was shooting in Jamia identified himself as ‘Gulshan’ (name changed) and has said that he did this to avenge the death of Chandan Gupta, a boy who was killed by Islamists during a Tiranga yatra. As soon as the shooting took place, the ‘Liberals’ started pronouncing their judgement, calling Gulshan a terrorist and blaming Anurag Thakur for egging this violence on. Earlier, Anurag Thakur during a political rally had said “Desh ke gaddaron ko” and the crowd had chanted “Goli maaro saalon ko”. Blaming this rally for Gulshan shooting in Jamia, the “Liberals” started alleging that this was the result of ‘nationalists’ spewing hate.

The fact that ‘Liberals’ have been trying to shield Islamists and peddle the “Hindu terrorism” bogey without a factual basis, has led to several people questioning whether the Jamia shooting was staged by the Leftists right after the Anurag Thakur speech and before the Delhi elections. A point of contention is also that after the arrest of Shaheen Bagh mastermind Sharjeel Imam who is a declared radical Islamist who wants to turn India into an Islamic nation, a conspiracy may have been hatched to shift the focus from the radical Islamists running riots since January by creating a “Hindu” object of hate.

While more details are yet to emerge and we are not sure if this is a stage-managed event or genuine disgruntlement with the whitewashing of Islamic terrorists, there are certain questions that need to be answered about the shooting at Jamia.

Why was he started posting on his Facebook profile only in January

Gulshan Facebook page which was called ‘Rambhakt Gulshan’ was created in July, but Gulshan started posting on his page only in January 2020.


Even more interestingly, he had posted on his FB page created in July last year only after 6th January, when the Delhi elections were declared.


It is thus being speculated that this profile was perhaps created only in June and was used only after January as a planning for an incident such as this so it can be used at a time when the anti-CAA protests start losing steam or the Islamist nature of the protests start getting apparent in order to shift the focus.

It is also pertinent to note that the fact that the posts started appearing only after the elections were announced casts a shadow on AAP’s role in it considering AAP MLA Amatullah Khan has been at the heart of anti-CAA Delhi riots and has even been booked for it.

Unexplained page ‘likes’

It has also been revealed that the pages ‘liked’ by alleged ‘Rambhakt’ Gulshan who started shooting in Jamia has certain pages that are rather inexplicable.


It is now being speculated that perhaps this was a Facebook page of someone from the Left and not originally that of an alleged ‘Rambhakt’.

In his Facebook likes, Gulshan had ‘liked’ the pages of Ajaz Khan, who is a known Islamist and BHIM army chief Chandrashekhar Azad. The page of Azad was called ‘Bhim army ka sher’. Azad is the head of a dangerous political trope that believes in Dalit-Islamist unity and has proven to be rather anti-Hindu on several occasions. That a professed ‘Rambhakt’ would ‘like’ such pages seems rather unlikely, and thus, has given rise to speculations.

Strange behaviour of the media present while Gulshan wielded the gun

Interestingly, in the video that has emerged, while Gulshan was wielding the gun and threatening to shoot, the media personnel who were present in Jamia kept walking towards Gopal feverishly and the Delhi police stood as mute spectators.

While the obvious trope is to question Delhi police’s actions and somehow tie it to the Modi government it is pertinent to wonder why the media persons were moving so confidently towards a shooter wielding a gun.

The natural reaction of any person when another threatens to shoot is to take cover and not walk into the barrel of the gun head-on.

This strange behaviour of the media is now being questioned to ask if there was a larger scheme of things at play in this incident.

Strange behaviour of the police present

For any police force, arresting a gun-wielding lunatic without any untoward incident, with the media present and recording, is something to be proud of.

While the usual suspects would assume that the police present was “shielding” a “rambhakt”, the question that is now being asked is that why did Delhi police wait for the shooter to shoot and the media to approach before they apprehended Gulshan. There was ample opportunity to arrest the gunman before he fired the shot and that is what any police force would do.

The strange behaviour of the media and the police presence is being used to question whether this was a planned conspiracy and not a disgruntled ‘rambhakt’ trying to go on a rampage as is being touted.

When the media asked the shooter his name, why did he identify himself as ‘Rambhakt’

In the video, it is clear that when the media, who was strangely walking head-on into the barrel of the gun asked the shooter his name, he identified himself as “Rambhakt Gulshan”.


People are alleging that this might have been a conspiracy also because of the strange manner in which Gulshan identified himself.

It is being speculated that perhaps he identified himself like that so that his Facebook page would be discovered so it would be easier for the “Liberals” to run their agenda and shield the Islamist mobs including Islamist Sharjeel Imam.

The strange case of the Facebook profile being deleted while Gulshan was in custody

Strangely, the Facebook page of Gulshan that was called ‘rambhakt.gopal’ has been deactivated while Gulshan was in custody.

Only a few minutes go, the Facebook page went inactive.

Facebook profile deactivated

The question arises as to how Gulshan, who is now in police custody could deactivate his Facebook profile. The obvious question to ask here is whether this account was solely created and spread to propagate a certain narrative about the shooter and the incident.

Old Facebook profile of Gulshan mysteriously resurfaces

There is another old account of Gulshan that was active up until the shooting event. Once the ‘Rambhakt Gulshan’ profile was deactivated, this account was reactivated.

Facebook profile

As one can see, the last post in this profile was of 19th May 2018 and thereafter there are no posts.

The profile also was not active before the shooting and before the deactivation of the previous profile where he was supposedly talking about taking revenge on Shaheen Bagh.

While Mr ‘Rambhakt’ is in police custody, a profile of his has been deactivated and an old one has been activated. This certainly gives rise to the question of whether someone else is handling these accounts and whether this entire event was a well-hatched conspiracy.

UPDATE: After this report was published, this profile of Gulshan has also been deactivated while Gulshan is in custody. 

A Congress scarf?

In the profile of Gulshan that resurfaced, he is allegedly seen wearing a Congress scarf in his display picture as claimed by several on social media.


The media is trying to paint him as a BJP supporting “Ram Bhakt” while he is allegedly sporting a Congress scarf?

The coincidence of Sharjeel Imam arrest and the shooting happening on 30th January

Interestingly, it has been only a couple of days since Islamist Sharjeel Imam, the mastermind of Shaheen Bagh was arrested for making seditious speeches. News has now emerged that he is unapologetic and highly radicalised, wanting to turn India into an Islamist nation.

When such news has surfaced and with the media trying to whitewash Sharjeel as a ‘peace activist and scholar’, the coincidence of this Jamia shooting taking place on the 30th of January cannot be ignored.

Read: Nathuram Godse was not a terrorist, much less a Hindu Terrorist, and using him to demonize Hindus is a cheap tactic

On 30th January, Nathuram Godse, who the Liberals like to erroneously call a ‘Hindu terrorist’ had shot Mahatma Gandhi in a political assassination.

That this ‘Rambhakt’ mysteriously surfaced from the crowd of protesters to wield a gun, along with the other questions that point towards a conspiracy, the fact that the Left wanted to create a false Godse-Gandhi equivalence cannot be ignored.

Conclusion

The Islamist mobs have been rampaging in the country protesting against CAA for several weeks now. With the deeply Islamist slogans, speeches and placards appearing, several “Liberals” had expressed worry about the protests losing their sheen and the reality of the mobs being made apparent. In fact, the “journalists” who often behave as the backbone of Islamists were increasingly worried that the Islamist protest at Shaheen Bagh was giving BJP an advantage in the Delhi elections.

While the investigation is still on, these pertinent questions must be answered for the truth to be revealed.

Update: It has been revealed that the suspect of Jamia shooting may be a minor. In accordance with relevant laws, his name has been changed after this revelation came to light.

Watch: Crowd chants ‘Modi, Modi’ as musician Vishal Dadlani campaigns for Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi

In an extremely embarrassing incident, pro-AAP musician Vishal Dadlani was today addressing a gathering in New Delhi’s Connaught Place appealing to people to vote for Aam Aadmi Party in upcoming elections when the crowd started chanting ‘Modi, Modi’.


A video was shared by former journalist and Twitter user Monica on the microblogging site. In the video, one can see Vishal Dadlani say how Aam Aadmi Party works for people from all walks of life even as the crowd around him chants ‘Modi, Modi’. He had to then ask the crowd to chant ‘Jai Shri Ram’ and ‘Vande Mataram’ to drown the Modi chants. In another video shared by Monica, one can see Dadlani rush away as the Modi chants grew louder.


Amusingly, Dadlani has come out in open to support AAP after announcing on Twitter that he will quit all active political work when his mocking of Jain muni Tarun Sagar caused major embarrassment to AAP.

JNU Teachers’ Association condemns Sharjeel Imam’s arrest, blames Delhi Police for showing undue ‘urgency’ in his case

The Jawaharlal Nehru University Teachers’ Association (JNUTA) has issued a statement condemning the arrest of former university student and radicalised Shaheen Bagh mastermind, Sharjeel Imam. The statement says that his remarks do not warrant charges of sedition and his arrest is an attempt to curb dissent.

The statement also went on to blame ‘extreme politicization’ of the conduct of the law enforcement agencies for the arrest. Signed by DK Lobiyal, President and Surajit Mazumdar, Secretary of JNUTA, the statement also slammed the Delhi Police for showing undue ‘urgency’ in the arrest of Sharjeel Imam as in contrast to the lack of a single arrest over the January 5 JNU violence till date.

“The continuation of the colonial-era law on sedition on the statute book of Independent India has also been subjected to widespread questioning, particularly due to its rampant misuse by the government to curb dissent”, read the statement issued on January 28.

JNUTA statement signed by DK Lobiyal, President and Surajit Mazumdar, Secretary.

The JNU Teachers Association which is largely controlled by the leftist coterie, also alleged that the sedition charges on Sharjeel Imam were invoked due to “other reasons”. JNU has also had a direct experience of this not so long ago, it said.

It is pertinent to note here that 113 JNU professors had in a note written on November 21, 2019, disassociated themselves from the JNU Teachers Association (JNUTA) alleging that the association was hand in gloves with miscreants in attacking teachers over protests against the marginal hostel fee hike in the university. One Professor Aswini Mohapatra took to Twitter to say that the 113 teachers believe that JNUTA is the root cause of the current deadlock. Controlled by the Left-wing coterie, it has turned JNU into a hotbed of Azadi brigade.

Meanwhile, after arresting former JNU student and The Wire columnist Sharjeel Imam Tuesday from Bihar’s Jehanabad, the Delhi Police returned to the capital with him on Wednesday. Imam, who was booked in a sedition case, was produced in the Patiala House court in Delhi on Wednesday, which sent him on five-day police custody.

Imam, who masterminded the Shaheen Bagh road blockade to protest against the CAA, was arrested by Delhi Police from Bihar after multiple FIRs were filed against him for his seditious speech. Addressing a gathering at Aligarh, Imam had urged Muslims to come together and cut off the Siliguri Corridor aka the chicken’s neck, which connects the seven northeastern states to rest of India. He had also earlier made provocative speeches where he had asked Muslims to come out and block roads of India and bring it to a standstill so as to get international media attention.

The man who opened fire on anti-CAA protesters in Delhi claims he did it to ‘avenge killing of Chandan Gupta during Tiranga Yatra in 2018’

The man who opened fire on anti-CAA protesters in Delhi claims he did it to ‘avenge killing of Chandan Gupta during Tiranga Yatra in 2018’

A man opened fire outside the Jamia Millia Islamia University in Delhi today during the ongoing protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act, injuring one person in the ensuing. He has now been taken into police custody. The man had been identified as one Gulshan Sharma (name changed), who is a resident of Jewar in the Greater Noida area of Uttar Pradesh.

Hours before the incident, ‘Rambhakt Gulshan’ (name changed) went live on Facebook multiple times saying he is ‘coming to give azaadi’. Gulshan took to Facebook to declare that what he intended to do was an act of revenge for Chandan Gupta, the 16-year-old Hindu boy who was shot at and murdered, by one Salim, following a Tiranga yatra by the ABVP, where people from a particular community had pelted stones which led to clashes in Uttar Pradesh’s Kasganj in 2018.

FB post of Gulshan

Reportedly, Gulshan, who is now in police custody, had continued to brandish his gun as people continued to gather around him.

Though until then details were unclear on why the man was openly wielding the gun, people on Twitter speculated that it may be staged to get back some legitimacy to the protests after Shaheen Bagh mastermind Sharjeel Imam was arrested.

It’s not yet clear if he was indeed acting on his own or has been paid by the leftist groups, as many suggest, but if we go by the Facebook posts and consider them not paid, this is how it appears.

The members of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), the student wing of RSS, were attacked while taking out the Tiranga Yatra on the Republic Day, in the year 2018, through a Muslim locality. The chants of ‘Vande Mataram’ and ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’ by the ABVP members irked some people which sparked violence and resulted in the death of 16-year-old Chandan. As per reports, it had been alleged by Chandan’s father, that his son was killed for refusing to chant “Pakistan Zindabad”.

Read- Dear ‘liberals’, stop blaming Chandan for his own murder

Even though Chandan Gupta’s death was widely mourned by Indians, some so-called liberals had started to blame him for his own death.

The Uttar Pradesh police had made a total of 121 arrests in the Kashganj matter. Salim, the main accused along with his brothers Waseem, Naseem and 17 others had been charged in connection with the matter.

Last year, in the Republic Day parade organised in the police line in Kasganj, the family of deceased Chandan was honoured by the state government. Sushil Gupta, the father of Chandan, was offered a memento as a mark of tribute by Suresh Pasi, Minister in charge of the district. District Magistrate R P Singh also paid tribute to Chandan.

Update: It has been revealed that the suspect of Jamia shooting may be a minor. In accordance with relevant laws, his name has been changed after this revelation came to light.

Netizens remind AAP government’s alleged support to anti-India elements as they trend #SharjeelKaYaarKejriwal on social media

Sharjeel Imam, the mastermind of the Shaheen Bagh protests was arrested on Tuesday by the police and was brought to Delhi yesterday. As reports of the Islamist’s radical ideologies and hate speeches pour in, his AAP links are also being discussed on social media.

Sharjeel’s videos have emerged on social media where he is seen with AAP leader Amanatullah Khan, inciting violence and making hate speech. Several social media users accused Arvind Kejriwal and his party of joining hands with anti-India elements to appease minorities ahead of the Delhi elections. As Amanatullah Khan was also seen inciting the mob during the earlier incidents of violence in Delhi, netizens started trending the hashtag #SharjeelKaYaarKejriwal.


A user said Sharjeel Imam believed India should be an Islamic state while Kejriwal’s aide Amanatullah Khan stood with Imam.


Another social media user asked whether radical Islamist Sharjeel Imam and Kejriwal was in touch.


Few others had a humorous take on the trend, where they posted memes on Arvind Kejriwal to expose his links with Sharjeel Imam.


The Wire columnist Sharjeel Imam, the mastermind behind the anti-CAA protests at Shaheen Bagh was seen instigating Muslims of the country to break India by cutting of North-east from the rest of the country. Later, it was revealed that AAP leader Amanataullah Khan was also part of one similar anti-CAA protest in which Sharjeel Imam was also present.

The AAP’s support for the Muslim mobs and anti-CAA rioters was further evident as AAP leader Amanatullah Khan stood openly in support of Jamia Nagar protestors which turned violent in December. An FIR has also been registered against Amanatullah Khan for instigating riots in Delhi.

In an inflammatory speech on December 15 at Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh, Khan had attacked the BJP government for enacting the Citizenship Amendment Act by claiming that it was discriminatory for Muslims of the country. Khan had also alleged that the silence of Muslims on the Triple Talaq Act was taken as their weakness by the central government.

The speech which was attended by thousands of impassioned people gathered to protest against the CAA was allegedly delivered just minutes before the violence broke out on the streets of Delhi.

This is not the first time that Arvind Kejriwal led Aam Aadmi Party has been found supporting anti-national elements to further their political interests. The AAP government in Delhi have time and again stood by former JNU ‘students’ Kanhaiya Kumar and Umar Khalid who had allegedly pro-Pakistan slogans inside JNU campus in 2016.

Aam Aadmi Party-led Delhi government has repeatedly rejected Delhi Police’s request for sanction to prosecute former Jawaharlal Nehru University Students’ Union (JNUSU) President Kanhaiya Kumar and others who have been accused of raising anti-India slogans on JNU campus on February 9, 2016.

Shockingly, the Arvind Kejriwal government is of the view that the accused had ‘no intention’ of inciting violence and did not raise such slogans during the march. The Delhi government has found the evidence provided by Delhi Police ‘flimsy’ and ‘riddled with gaps’.

Following the surgical strikes by Indian Armed forces in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir to weed out Islamic terrorists, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had then demanded proof from the Indian Army for the surgical strikes it had carried out in Pakistan.

WhatsApp conversations point towards Congress and foreign funded NGO nexus in the anti-CAA protests

A Delhi Congress leader named Nikita Chaturvedi was part of WhatsApp group which mobilised protestors in December, WhatsApp conversations reveal. These messages pertain to December 2019 when the anti-CAA protests were at its peak and were widely peddled as ‘organic’ protests.

In the above message, Chaturvedi, whose phone ends with number 4231 can be seen asking when Umar Khalid and others would reach the venue for anti-CAA protests.

This messages, sent by Nikita ahead of 23rd December protests, she could be seen sharing organising details of the protests.

In above message, she could be seen sharing a video of Umar Khalid’s speech during anti-CAA protests. As can be seen, she is participant of a group called ‘United Against Hate’. Her Facebook profile says she is a ‘delegate at Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee’ and has been general secretary at Delhi State Mahila Congress.

Here is where it gets interesting. In December 2019 OpIndia had reported how Islamic fundamentalist organisations joined hands with ‘Urban Naxal’ linked and missionary funded NGOs to fan the anti-CAA protests which had turned violent.

Regarding United Against Hate, there is an American organisation with the same name but we cannot confirm whether United Against Hate in India is a branch of the American organization by the same name. Therefore, we shall proceed under the assumption that it’s a wholly separate and independent organization.

The organization has a Facebook page and Twitter handle and not a website of its own. Therefore, it’s hard to find information on it. But we did manage to find a report on the Huffington Post that gives a clue into its ideological orientation. The HuffPo report says, “Among the organisations part of the network that United Against Hate will tap into are the Bhim Army, Jamaat-e-Islami, Jamiat Ulema-e-hind, Jamaat-e-Islami and Alpsankhyak Adhikar.” The report also mentions that ‘Senior Advocate Sanjay Hegde’ is part of the initiative as well. United Against Hate also launched a toll-free number for ‘mob lynching’.

The President of Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind filed a review petition against the Ayodhya Verdict that paved the way for a Bhavya Ram Mandir at Ayodhya. The Kashmir unit of Jamaat-e-Islami was banned by the government and is suspected of funding the Hizbul Mujahideen while the Jamaat-e-Islami in other states have been protesting against the CAB. The Bhim Army is an organisation whose president has been arrested in the past for allegedly violating the model code of conduct during elections.

The Facebook page provides better insight into the network’s functioning. One of the two managers of the page is Syed Faizan Zaidi, who is either a student or alumni of Jamia Milia Islamia University as per his Facebook profile. He calls himself ‘Mujahid Faizan’. We cannot say for sure if ‘Mujahid’ is his actual name or part of his actual name but what we do know is that Mujahid is a participant of Jihad. And that is why organizations such as Indian Mujahideen have the word in their name. Mujahideen is plural for Mujahid. Of course, Mujahid maybe his nickname but ‘Mujahid Faizan’ appears a very unusual nickname indeed. (After our report, he has now changed his nickname to Zaidi on Facebook.) He is a Jamia Millia Islamia alumni.

This leaves one wondering just how deeply is Congress connected to foreign-funded NGOs which seem to be on a mission to destabilise India.
