Jharkhand CM orders dropping of sedition charges against 3000 anti-CAA protesters, notice issued to Dhanbad police officer for slapping the charge

The Hemant Soren led JMM-Congress-RJD government has decided to drop sedition charges against 3000 unidentified persons who had joined in an anti-CAA protest without permission. Along with, actions are also being taken against the police officials who had slapped the sedition charge.

The chief minister ordered the administration in Dhanbad instructing them to drop the sedition charges registered in Dhanbad district. Accordingly, SP(City) Dhanbad directed the SHO of Dhanbad to file a correction application in the court to remove the sedition charges from the FIR. Posting the copies of the letters on Twitter, CM Soren tweeted from his official Twitter handle saying that laws are not meant to frighten and silence people but to instil a feeling of safety among the people. He tweeted that orders have been issued to immediately drop the charges against 3000 persons, adding that orders have also been issued to take appropriate action against the guilty officials.


With this, he also added, “I also urge the people of Jharkhand that it is their state and abiding the law and order is their duty.”

Following the order of the Chief Minister, a sub-inspector was issued a show-cause notice by Dhanbad police for registering sedition charges against 3000 persons for participating in protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act.

Dhanbad SP R Ramkumar said, “We have initiated the process to withdraw the sedition charge. The matter is now in court and the process of withdrawal of the sedition charge will be carried out soon. We have issued a show-cause notice to the subinspector, posted at Dhanbad city police station. He was in charge of the thana when the procession was taken out and he was the one who signed the FIR against the protesters.” He added that further action will be taken based on the reply submitted by the concerned police officer.

On Tuesday Dhanbad police had slapped several sections under IPC including sedition charges against around 3000 persons for holding an anti-CAA march in Wasseypur without permission, out of whom 7 were named. They were named as Md Syed Shahnawaz, Md Sajid a.k.a. Shahid, Haji Zamir Arif, Md Saddam, Ali Akbar, Md Noushad and Maulana Ghulam Nabi.

The FIR had also alleged that inflammatory slogans were also raised in the protest. It is alleged that objectionable comments and slogans were also raised against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah. The FIR said that the protestors had blocked traffic and raised slogans hurting religious sentiments.

The FIR was registered as the protest procession involving around 3000-4000 people was taken out without permission. The protesters were holding placards, posters and banners with anti-CAA-NRC-NPR messages, but some of them also had ‘azadi’ slogans. Azadi slogans were also raised during the march. The FIR in the case was also lodged under sections 143, 145, and 149 (all related to unlawful assembly), 186 (obstructing a public servant from discharging his duty), 188 (disobedience of any public order promulgated by any public servant), 336 (any act that endangers human life or personal safety); 153 A (wanton vilification or attacks against religion); 153B (assembly engaged in religious worship or religious ceremony), and 124A (sedition).

The SP’s letter mentions that the sedition charges will be dropped, which means the case will continue in the other sections for the unauthorised protest march.

JNU violence: Read the detailed chronology of events since attacks started on teachers and their family in October

Days after violence was unleashed allegedly by left-wing ‘students’ and outsiders in the controversial Jawaharlal Nehru University, the JNU Teachers’ Federation (JNUTF) has revealed that there have been sporadic attacks on teachers, their families and university officials at their workplace on a regular basis since 29th October 2019.

Giving a detailed chronology of events that unfurled in the university since 28th October 2019, the JNUTF said that the repeated appeal by the university officials to the local police and individual complaints in the police station by the teachers have not been taken seriously and the police have not intervened or acted timely to prevent recurrence of such violent incidents on the campus which has created an environment of fear in the campus.


The following is the brief chronological account of incidents that have happened since October 28, 2019, according to the press statement released by JNUTF.

28-October-2019:

  • 10 AM:  Inter Hall Administration (IHA) meeting at 10 a.m in the Convention Hall, JNU was disrupted by an unruly, slogan shouting, drum beating and physically assaulting mob of students led by some student leaders.
  • 12 PM: The health of the Dean of Students (DoS) deteriorated. The on-duty doctor of the University Health Centre referred him to admit him to the Indian Institute of Spinal Injury, immediately. However, the visiting doctor was obstructed in performing her duty. The protesting students gheraoed and hijacked the ambulance and forcefully till 06:20 p.m. DoS called police PCR, that came and gone.

The students at the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) had potentially endangered the life of a professor when they blocked the way of an ambulance in which the Dean was being taken for a health checkup. The students had then displayed ‘complete heartlessness and insensitivity’ towards the professor who fell sick with high blood pressure.


29-October-2019:The JNUTF states that the Dean of Students filed a formal police complaint against the violent behaviour of students observed on October 28, 2019. The entrance of most of the academic complexes was locked illegally by the protesting students.

30-October-2019: Lohit and Koyna wardens were gheraoed at their houses during the late hours of the night. One of the wardens was pregnant and the others too had small children who faced tremendous mental torture due to this unruly behaviour of the students. The wardens called JNU Security and Police, however, did not receive conducive support.

31-October-2019: Narmada, Shipra and Sabarmati wardens were gheraoed at their houses during late-night hours. Again, their families had to face a life-threatening situation, but no security or police help was provided despite calling PCR.

The wife of DoS had to face personal attacks and trolling on social media. This was a well-planned psychological attack by the students to bring the DoS under pressure and obstruct him from discharging his duties, normally.

01-November-2019: The IHA office was illegally locked by the agitators. Officers and staff were threatened with dire consequences and forcefully asked to vacate their work stations.

Chandrabhaga and Mahi-Mandavi hostel wardens were gheraoed at their houses during the late night. The Mahi-Mandavi warden belonging to minority community had to face slogans like, “Gaddar”. No security/police support was provided despite making repeated calls for safety and security, the JNUTF statement said.

02-November-2019: Tapti hostel warden was gheraoed at his house and faced a life-threatening situation.

03-November-2019: Narmada, Periyar, Kaveri and Jhelum hostel wardens and their families were gheraoed at their residences and faced the life-threatening situation. PCR called, that came and left.

05-November-2019: All provosts were gheraoed at their houses by the students and did not receive any security/police support.

06-November-2019: All Provosts along with the senior wardens of their respective Khands were gheraoed inside different hostels from 10 am to 3 pm. They were forced by the agitating students to sign pre-drafted documents/ minutes of the meeting/ resignation letters against their will and wisdom.

07-November-2019: Periyar hostel warden was gheraoed at his house. No security or police support was provided.

08-November-2019: Dr Vandana Mishra, the Assistant Professor at the School of International Studies was gheraoed and kept hostage for over 29 hours in the SIS II building, in her classroom. She was physically assaulted and mentally tormented by the protesting students in the most shocking manner.

After a series of requests to the Delhi Police, finally few police officials arrived in the civil dress and instead of taking appropriate action against the protesting students to release Dr Mishra, they tried to intervene in a different manner wherein they asked Dr Mishra to sign whatever the students were asking for. After a lot of efforts, she had has been released with police help.

In a despicable act, the students at the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) had kept faculty member, Dr Vandana Mishra, in illegal captivity on November 8, 2019. She was kept confined in her classroom in SIS building despite her physical condition deteriorated.

11-November-2019: The students gheraoed the convocation ceremony of the university and created a state of panic and severe law and order situation. Honourable HRD minister and other dignitaries were stuck and had to face the grave situation created by the students.

Thousands of students of the JNU had clashed with police on November 11 during their protest over fee hike on the varsity’s convocation day escalated, forcing HRD Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ to stay inside the AICTE premises for over six hours.

Many students who got their degrees at the third convocation ceremony of the Jawaharlal Nehru University were left disheartened owing to the protests over fee hike as they felt their last day as a JNU student was “ruined”.

13-November-2019: VC office, administrative building and Swami Vivekananda statue were vandalised by the students in an unprecedented manner.

Since 13 November 2019 entire campus has been painted with ideologically provoking and demeaning slogans. Majority of the academic complexes have been illegally locked by the agitators. Students, teachers and staff members are being threatened for attending classes/ offices/ examinations et al giving rise to a situation in which discharging one’s duty became impossible.

The academic atmosphere has been vitiated by the agitators since then. It has also become difficult to take scheduled examinations and the fear of the lapse of the semester looms large on the horizon.

We had reported that how goons and students allegedly belonging to the left-wing students’ union of the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) had vandalised a soon-to-be inaugurated statue of Swami Vivekananda on campus.

16-November-2019: Female security officers were beaten up mercilessly by the agitating students at the administrative block while they were only doing performing their duties.

The honourable High Court of Delhi directs the Delhi Police to give protection to the University officials and to vacate the administrative and academic complexes.

14-December-2019: Despite the presence of the Delhi police in a civil dress since 12th December, the Vice-Chancellor along with other University officials was attacked by a mob of around forty miscreants. The office of the Vice-Chancellor was vandalised by them, while the police remained a mute spectator.

The students of the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) had mounted an assault against the vice-chancellor (VC), M Jagadesh Kumar, in the university campus. According to the vice-chancellor, 10-15 protesting students surrounded him but the on-duty security personnel rescued him from an imminent attack.

03-January-2020: Communication and Information Services (CIS) server was forcefully shut down by masked miscreants led by an Ex-JNUSU president to disrupt the registration process. The system was restored on 4th morning.

JNUTF also appeals the JNU community to leave the past behind and restore the academic environment of JNU for which the University is widely acknowledged. Any sort of differences should be resolved through debate and discussion. Let us understand the right to protest does not include the right to prevent,” it added.

Watch: As ABVP member shares his ordeal on JNU violence, Priyanka Gandhi ignores and walks away

Gandhi-scion and Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi has been visiting AIIMS to meet with JNU students injured during violence at the campus. However, a video now viral on social media says she deliberately ignored an injured ABVP member as she walked away in the middle of a conversation when he tried to explain how he was attacked by the mob.

Reportedly, Shivam Chaurasia, the ABVP activist who was brutally beaten up by left students during JNU violence met the Congress leader at AIIMS during her visit and tried to talk about the violence that was unleashed on students on January 5.

In a video that has now gone viral, the Congress general secretary can be seen walking away in the middle of a conversation as Chaurasia tried to apprise her about the Sunday’s mob attack. She is seen coldly ignoring the injured student as her associates block the student from approaching her.


It is notable here that ABVP student Shivam Chaurasia was violently chased and beaten by leftist goons inside JNU campus. In a video shared by ABVP’s Nidhi Tripathi, Shivam was seen running for his life as a violent mob chased after him abusing and throwing sticks at him.

Priyanka’s cold shoulder to an injured student over mere his ideology has created a furore on social media, with several people condemning her behaviour.

Speaking to OpIndia, Valentina said that the attack happened on 5th January 2020, Sunday when leftist students stopped students from registering for the winter semester. She further stated that some of these goons had hidden stones under their shawls and attacked the ABVP students with stones and sticks.

‘Jinnah wali Azadi’ slogans raised at Shaheen Bagh: The true face of anti-CAA protests and what these slogans mean

‘Jinnah wali Azadi’ slogans raised at Shaheen Bagh: The true face of anti-CAA protests and what these slogans mean

After the passage of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), the country has been gripped by riots, violence and arson specifically by the Left and Islamist mobs. The protests, which have been raging on for weeks have exposed itself to be deeply Islamic and anti-Hindu in nature with posters like F*ck Hindutva that distorted the Om symbol to several slogans that exposed the Islamist mobs’ deep-seated hatred for Hindus. A video has now surfaced from the Shaheen Bagh protest where slogans like “Jinnah Wali Azadi” can be heard.


In the video, the individual on the stage can be chanting Azadi slogans. “Hum ladke lenge Azadi. Nehru wali Azadi. Gandhi wali Azadi. Bhagat wali Azadi. Ashfaq wali Azadi. Jinnah wali Azadi. Dilli wali Azadi….”.

While one can understand Leftists and Islamists wanting “Nehru wali Azadi” since the cloak of “secularism” that amounted to shameless minority appeasement during the time of Jawaharlal Nehru and Gandhi has thankfully come to an end with the rise of PM Narendra Modi, one has to wonder what ‘Jinnah wali Azadi’ means when chanted by the protestors at Shaheen Bagh.

We slowed down the relevant portion of the video where ‘Jinnah wali Azadi’ slogan was heard, which confirms that the slogan was indeed raised.

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCmPTxUwhzg]

Citizenship Amendment Act is one which gives citizenship to the persecuted minorities of neighbouring Islamic nations that have, since their inception, indulged in horrific crimes against their minorities like Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Christians, Parsis, Jains etc.

One must recall that in 2018, a clash had erupted between AMU students on the issue of Pakistan’s founder and Muslim leader Mohammed Ali Jinnah’s portrait in the campus. Some sections of the students opposed and staged a protest against University authorities for placing the divisive leader Jinnah’s portrait. Violent clashes erupted between students organisations and AMU Student Union dominated by Muslim students, as AMU Student Union was in support of the controversial leader, Jinnah. In fact, one must remember that AMU was founded by Jinnah and it was he who had given the two-nation theory. With AMU students rioting against CAA, it is entirely believable that the crux of these protests are indeed in support of Jinnah and his ideology and thus, that chants of ‘Jinnah wali Azadi’ were raised comes as no surprise.

Read: When anti-CAA protesters claim architects of Moplah massacre as ‘freedom fighters’, it’s clear that they want “Hinduon Se Azadi”

When one chants ‘Jinnah wali Azadi’, what they are essentially saying is that they want ‘Azadi’ to break India yet again and create another Pakistan where the founding principle of the state was Islam and the two-nation theory.

The two-nation theory of Jinnah essentially said that Muslims cannot co-exist with Hindus. The two-nation theory states that Muslims and Hindus are two separate nations by every definition; that Muslims have their own customs, religion, and from every point of view like social, moral Muslims are different from Hindus therefore, Muslims should be able to have their own separate homeland in the Muslim majority areas of India, in which Islam can be practised as the dominant religion.

Read: When Asaduddin Owaisi says ‘We rejected Pakistan and Jinnah’s Two Nation Theory’, he is lying. Here is how

This ideology was the main war-cry of Muhammad Ali Jinnah who called it the awakening of Muslims and ensured that India was divided to create Islamic Pakistan.

BR Ambedkar had severely criticised Muhammad Ali Jinnah and his 14 demands.

In chapter XI of Ambedkar’s book ‘Pakistan or the Partition of India’, Ambedkar thoroughly criticized Jinnah for the tabulation of his 14 points which include but not limited to :

  1. Muslim representation in the local bodies be based on the principles of the communal award, that is, separate electorates and population strength.
  2. Discarding of the song– “Vande Mataram”.
  3. Freedom for Muslims to perform Cow slaughter.
  4. Make changes to the tricolour flag or give equal importance to the Muslim League flag.
  5. Constitutional and statutory guarantee of fixed Muslim representation in the state services through the reservation.

Ambedkar was of the opinion that Muslims are exploiting Hindus and using their outrageous demands to force the Hindus into the negotiation tables. He writes –

“The second thing that is noticeable among the Muslims is the spirit of exploiting the weaknesses of the Hindus. If the Hindus object to anything, the Muslim policy seems to be to insist upon it and give it up only when the Hindus show themselves ready to offer a price for it by giving the Muslims some other concessions.”

Read: BR Ambedkar’s scathing criticism of Jinnah that nobody seems to talk about

Ambedkar had, in fact, said that for Jinnah, Hindus of Bengal and Punjab province at the time were like mere ‘chattels’ who will do as the Muslims instruct. This was demonstrated in a speech delivered by Jinnah on November 16th, 1942. Jinnah had said:

“Who is the author of this new formula that every community has the right of self-determination all over India? Either it is colossal ignorance or mischief and trick. Let me give them a reply, that the Musalmans claim the right of self-determination because they are a national group on a given territory which is their homeland and in the zones where they are in a majority. Have you known anywhere in history that national groups scattered all over have been given a State? Where are you going to get a State for them? In that case, you have got 14 per cent. Muslims in the United Provinces. Why not have a State for them? Muslims in the United Provinces are not a national group; they are scattered. Therefore in constitutional language, they are characterized as a sub-national group who cannot expect anything more than what is due from any civilized Government to a minority. I hope I have made the position clear. The Muslims are not a sub-national group; it is their birthright to claim and exercise the right of self-determination.”

Therefore, when today the protestors at Shaheen Bagh, who are essentially protesting against giving citizenship to the minorities from Pakistan who have been persecuted by the ideology of Jinnah, raise slogans like ‘Jinnah wali Azadi’, it merely means that they are reposing their faith in Jinnah’s two-nation theory and the fact that Hindus are merely chattels.

Anyone who raises ‘Jinnah wali Azadi’ is essentially saying that they believe that Hindus and Muslims are separate nations by their very characteristic and that they, Muslims, cannot co-exist with Hindus and thus, want to break up India yet again to form another Islamic nation.

In the anti-CAA riots that broke out, the country saw widespread riots by Islamist mobs. We should also remember the slogans that were raised in Jamia. ‘Hinduon se Azadi‘ cannot be wished away in any manner. Glorifying people who committed the genocide of Hindus cannot be wished away in any manner. We cannot afford to ignore the graffiti and slogans that erupted in the Jamia protests. There is an insidious design at work here and we have to confront it. And the country will have to wake up to this sad reality at some point in time and the most opportune time is this.

With the violence in Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal and Universities like AMU, Jamia etc, sprinkled with anti-Hindu imagery and now, ‘Jinnah wali Azadi’ slogans, one must realise that this is the Khilafat 2.0 and the nation cannot afford to maintain wishful blindness any longer.

A day after police bust ISIS module in Delhi, Gujarat ATS arrest another ISIS operative from Vadodara

On Thursday, the Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) arrested an Islamic terrorist who was allegedly operating an ISIS module from Vadodra, Gujarat.

According to a Times Of India report, the Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) on Thursday nabbed an operative of the Islamic terror group ISIS from Vadodra. The terrorist has been identified as Zafar Ali and was arrested from Vadodara’s Gorva area.

“He is wanted in Tamil Nadu. From the last 10 to 12 days, he was in Vadodara for spreading ISIS module,” Gujarat ATS said.


According to Gujarat ATS, the ISIS operative identified, as 25-year-old Zafar Ali Mohammed Haliq is a native of Cuddalore district in Tamil Nadu. He was nabbed from Panchvati circle in Gorva in a joint operation of the ATS and Vadodara police.

Reportedly, Zafar Ali had come to Vadodara from Cuddalore to set up a new module of ISIS in Gujarat and was in touch with three ISIS operatives who were held by the special cell of Delhi police on Thursday. Zafar Ali was also involved in setting up a module in Tamil Nadu, said ATS officials.

The arrests in Gujarat comes just after the Special Cell of Delhi Police on Thursday had busted an Islamic State (IS) terror module in Delhi with the arrest of three terror suspects.

The Delhi Police had nabbed three persons linked to terror group Islamic State in Wazirabad area of Delhi. Reportedly, a tense situation had occurred in the locality after the Islamic terrorists were found with arms. The Delhi police had recovered arms from the possession of the three.

The six Tamil Nadu natives alleged to be ISIS terrorists are wanted for serious crimes like murder. They had absconded from their respective native places.

“The intelligence inputs indicated that the six absconding men were talking about conducting Jihadi activities at some unknown place. They were inspired by the ISIS and were Islamic extremists due to which there is a probability that they would plan any terror activity in the country,” said ATS statement.

On Sunday, the intelligence agencies had issued a warning that two ISIS-trained Islamic terrorists have entered the country. A high alert has been issued in Basti, Gorakhpur, Siddharthnagar, Kushinagar and Maharajganj among others district close to the border.

The intelligence agencies had warned that the two Islamic terrorists identified as Khwaja Moinuddin and Abdul Samad were last seen in West Bengal’s Siliguri and may attempt to flee to Nepal via the bordering areas.

JNU: Here is how common students are being harassed by Leftists for not joining their ‘protest’ and wanting to register for next semester

JNU: Here is how common students are being harassed by Leftists for not joining their ‘protest’ and wanting to register for next semester

On January 4, leftist goons and student leaders had barged into the JNU’s Communication and Information Services (CIS), in order to stop the ongoing registration process for the winter semester. The JNU administration had earlier stated that the student groups who had opposed to the registration process had also physically stopped non-protesting students from going to their respective schools of study to continue academic activities.

Speaking to India Today’s Rahul Kanwal, VC Mamidala had shown the server room that was deliberately damaged by leftists who wanted to halt the registration process. It is notable here that the January 5 violence was triggered only after the leftists damaged the servers and stopped thousands of students from finishing the registration process.


The JNU administration, after the Sunday violence had released an official statement, explaining how thousands of students interested to pursue studies and those who are not participating in the current agitation against fee hike, are being stopped by the agitators.

A glimpse of how common students are being harassed at JNU was also shared by Vikas Singh Gautam, a JNU student, on social media. “I took admission into JNU thinking that, I’ll get to be in an environment of debate and discussion. But I’ve got to see a totally different culture here. People here don’t know anything better than imposing their views on you. I’ll rather call it a culture of violence now.”


Gautam said, “I am being boycotted from all social, hostel and academic groups of JNU’s Centre For Philosophy by the left. This political untouchability is being practised against me because I tried to register for this academic session. This just one example of subjugation of Dalits by the left.”

This is not just a student’s agony. There are many common students who want to study. Left-wing students are harassing these students and preventing them from registering themselves for the new semester. They are being abused and discriminated against, in hostels and mess. Any student who is not included in the agenda of the Left or is not supporting them, they are being pressurized psychologically. While talking to OpIndia, many other students concurred.

One such student, Alok Jha, who is doing research there, told Opindia about the rapidly changing environment there.

Alok Jha said, “I used to think about the struggles of the Left and was under the impression that they always up for struggle, always stick to the interests of the students. Regrettably, I never saw any result of the struggle of these people. Whatever the issue, commotion, publicity and politics were the main agenda. Be it the issue of seat cut, the issue of AC reading room or the issue of the fee increase, every time these people came to the media and gathered their publicity and ended the protest or they are only busy with spoiling the system. Some of our friends used to say, they do nothing except pretence in the name of the movement, I never believed them. But today I have seen all the pretence of these leftists, how they fool the common student. And use them for their political and ideological ambitions.”

On how the students were being tortured while pressurizing them, Opindia talked to many more common students there. Many people talked about the terror of the leftist students and the discrimination they are being forced through but refused to mention their names, “There are many more years to study here, these people will not allow us to live here peacefully. We are being persecuted in the mess, even many professors from the leftist ideology are taunting us, making fun of us. Left-wing students have been selectively targeting students who are suspected of being supporters of ABVP or who want to study here by not supporting their movement or protest.”

Alok Jha said that he was not afraid of anyone as he is telling the truth. Leftist students are harassing him and many other students like him. He told us, “I live in Sabarmati Hostel. There was a WhatsApp group of all the residents of the hostel. Through which students got information related to hostels. All the residents were in this group. After the incident of January 5, I have seen leftists trying to instigate common students against each other. Left-wing students are selectively targeting students who either want to study, who are not with anyone, who is registered or want to get it done. Or leftist students suspect that these students sympathize with ABVP.”

When OpIndia wanted to know from Alok Jha why he was expelled from the hostel group, he said, “I do not belong to any particular party. Yes, there is definitely sympathy for ABVP. Because in my view the Vidyarthi Parishad is a party that has faith in God. I am a believer, I strongly believe in God. From this point of view, the ideology of Vidyarthi Parishad matches my view. Therefore, you can call us sympathetic to them. But I never posted any support for ABVP. Never argued in the mess in favour of ABVP. Did not attend ABVP rallies. My journey was limited from hostel to library and hostel to centre. At the time, the atmosphere of fear in the hostel should have been pacified. At that time these people are doing such gimmick that the students fight among themselves and the atmosphere of fear increases so that these people gather publicity on the strength of this violence. ”

He also sent a number of screenshots to Opindia, “You see this screenshot to see how more common students like me are being told that they are ‘ABVP Goons’, take them out. I will not go to Naxalites and goons because allegations in politics are repeated. But what do you want by marking common students, brother? All leave JNU and turn JNU into Kerala?”

Many such students while talking to OpIndia told us that the leftist students here have no desire to find a solution. As soon as the solution of the problem comes closer, they start creating new problems and start politicizing it. And this goes on for years. And it’s common poor students here who have no political ambitions, who only want to study, that fall prey to these machinations.

A student from a farmer family, with a weak financial background, said, “Here, ideology is imposed on people, there is nothing left of healthy debate. Everyone is pressurized to make the left view their own idea. If you stay away from them, then the leftist students and many leftist professors here will make it difficult for you to stay here. ”

Normal students of JNU also said that the imposition of an idea in any educational institution is wrong, it is not democratic anywhere. And leftists only present their views and domination as if it were a democracy here. Many say that as the leftist ideological hold is losing power all over the world, many leaders see JNU as one of the last strongholds, and they want to make it a leftist fortress.

Alok Jha clearly said that many common students say that as long as JNU exists, there are students studying here, then this dream of the leftists is not going to be fulfilled. He also appealed, “Oh brother of the left, if you had a positive thought, you would have talked about the solution. By doing this, by harassing the students, creating misconceptions among them, and treating them with untouchability, you have done well. Common students once again saw the dual character of the Left.”


The Vice-Chancellor also highlighted the rights of oppressed students. He said, ” I would like to ask all those great personalities coming to support agitators, what about thousands of students&teachers who are deprived of their rights of doing research and teaching? Why can’t you stand with them?”


On January 7, VC Kumar had informed that on the day after the servers were repaired and made functional, a total of 3552 students had paid their fees and registered for the winter semester. The university has now extended the final date for registration to 12 January. The numbers only show how many students want to stay away from pointless agitations and want to continue their studies.

Pakistan training 40 Rohingya Muslims in Bangladesh after it fails to push terrorists from LoC, plans for them to infiltrate India

Intelligence Agencies have received fresh inputs that Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI is funding and training 40 Rohingya Muslims in Bangladesh in order to push them into India to carry out terror activities. Reportedly, the Intelligence Agencies have warned the Indian Army and the border guarding forces. The training is being provided by Pakistan to Rohingya Muslims in Bangladesh is with the help of the terrorist outfit Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB).

According to reports, the nefarious plans to push Rohingya terrorists through the Bangladesh border comes after Pakistan has been unsuccessful in pushing terrorists from the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir.

Intelligence Agencies have reportedly sounded off a warning to the Indian Army saying that Pakistan is plotting a conspiracy against India through the Bangladesh border. The 40 Rohingya Muslims are said to be getting trained in Bangladesh’s Cox Bazaar with Pakistan ISI and the Bangladeshi terrorist outfit JMB.

It is worthy to note that when the Citizenship Amendment Bill was introduced in the parliament, there were several demands for other “persecuted” factions like Rohingya Muslims from Myanmar to be included in the bill. At that time, Home Minister Amit Shah had vehemently said that Rohingya Muslims will not be allowed in India.

He had also said that the Rohingya Muslims actually don’t infiltrate India from Myanmar but from the Bangladesh border.

There were several intel reports in the past that pointed towards the security risk that Rohingya Muslims pose to India even as during the anti-CAA riots, the cacophony for India to accept Rohingya illegals as refugees grew stronger from the Left and Islamist factions.

Earlier in August 2019, a BSF report had sounded off a warning about Pakistan based terror outfit Jaish-e-Muhammad (JeM) is training Rohingya Muslims to carry out attacks in different parts of India. The report states that a JeM commander, Saber Ahmed, who is currently in Pakistan, is targetting Rohingya Muslims in Bangladesh’s Cox Bazar and indoctrinating them to carry out terror attacks in India.

In May 2015 a JSTOR research paper titled ‘Myanmar at the crossroads: Shadows of jihadi extremism’ informed about the upsurge flow of jihadi extremist ideology in Muslims of Myanmar aided by the network of terrorist organisations.

The study mentioned the harsh sectarian conflict in Myanmar along with threats posed by local insurgent groups, including the probability that these groups might attempt to link up with jihadist terrorist groups like ISIS. JSTOR highlighted the emerging dangers deriving from the intensification of the use of social media networks by jihadist extremists to expand their influence and spread their caliphate ideology.

Along with this, in December 2016 a Crisis group paper had reported about the rise of ‘new Muslim insurgency in the Rakhine state’ citing on the basis of developments including militant attacks on Myanmar security forces on 9th October and 12th of November, 2016.

Female protestor from JNU mob attacks and bites Additional DCP Southwest’s hand

In a bizarre incident, a woman ‘protestor’ in Delhi bit a senior police officer near Shashtri Bhavan during the ongoing JNUSU protest in Delhi.

According to the reports, a female ‘protestor’ came up to the Southwest Additional DCP Ingit Pratap Singh during the protest and bit him on his left thumb as the members of JNUSU tried marching towards the Shashtri Bhavan. The police teams present there were trying to stop the protestors from marching towards the parliament.


However, the woman accused of biting the cop is yet to be identified. The DCP managed to free his hand after much struggle but suffered minor injuries. The cop was later taken to a hospital for a medical check-up.

Meanwhile, JNU students yet again attempted to create chaos on the streets of Delhi on Thursday as they protested against the alleged violence on the university campus. The ‘students’ tried to march towards the Rashtrapati Bhavan after a failed meeting with HRD ministry officials but they were stopped and later detained by police.

A delegation of JNU Students’ Union and JNU Teachers’ Association also met Human Resource Development (HRD) Ministry officials and demanded the removal of Vice-Chancellor M Jagadesh Kumar from his post.

The police had to resort to lathi-charge to control the mob as they tried to block the traffic at Janpath. The police used loudspeakers and also appealed to the crowd to maintain peace. CPI(M) leaders Sitaram Yechury, D Raja, Prakash Karat and Brinda Karat and LJD leader Sharad Yadav also joined the march.

Earlier on Sunday, January 5, a large group of masked goons had entered the JNU campus and assaulted students, faculty and other staff members. JNU Student Union president Aishe Ghosh was also attacked and she was injured in the incident.

on January 4, leftist groups had tried to stop students from registering for the winter semester. The students had disrupted the registration process for the winter semester by barging into the Centre for Information System office and cut off the power supply and damaged the servers to protest against the fee hike.

The Delhi Police have now filed an FIR against JNUSU President Aishe Ghosh and 19 others for attacking security guards and vandalizing server room on January 4.

Swara Bhaskar thanks Pakistanis for standing in solidarity with Indian students in a march where ‘Azadi’ slogans were raised

Swara Bhaskar, the veteran hypocrite and Leftist who was once known as an actress upped the ante today by thanking Pakistanis for standing in solidarity with Indian students. The thank-you note by the political-campaigner-for-hire was uploaded as a ‘story’ on her Instagram account.

We tried to find more about this specific protest march held in Lahore which Swara Bhaskar was thanking the Pakistanis for. The “solidarity protest” was held by an institution called Progressive Students’ Collective which is based in Lahore Pakistan.

A video of the protest was uploaded by the organisation from Lahore on their Twitter handle @PSCollective_.


In the video, one can clearly hear slogans for the Azadi of Kashmir and even Delhi can be heard. The “students” from Pakistan can be heard shouting slogans like “Kashmir ka naara, azaadi”, “Delhi ka naara, Azaadi”.

The poster for this march had several interesting elements.

Poster for the protest in Lahore held on 8th January 2019

Firstly, it had a line from the Faiz poem “Lazim hai ki hum bhi dekhenge”. One of the lines in the Faiz poem. A part of the poem reads, “Lazim hai ke hum bhi dekhenge. Jab arz-e-Khuda ke kaabe se. Sab but uthwae jaenge. Hum ahl-e-safa mardood-e-harm. Masnad pe bethae jaenge. Sab taaj uchale jaenge. Sab takht girae jaenge. Bas naam rahega Allah ka. Hum dekhenge.”

The lines used from the poem appear deeply communal in isolation and are often used by Pakistani-sponsored terrorists and separatists in Kashmir to express their anti-Hindu and anti-India hatred. The ones raising these slogans essentially wanted that all the idols, crowns will be vanished to keep Allah’s name alive.

The English translation for the same is, “We will witness. It is definite that we too will witness. When from Allah’s place, when all idols will be removed. When crowns will be tossed. When thrones will vanish. Only Allah’s name will remain…”

These slogans were also raised in IIT Kanpur where a protest in solidarity with Jamia students was held during the anti-CAA riots.

Further, the poster uses the picture of the very ‘sheroes’ touted by Barkha Dutt and her ilk. These sheroes, as we had exposed were deeply Islamist and had even celebrated the Moplah riots where Muslim mobs had killed thousands of Hindus. One of the “sheroes” had also called for Jihad against India.

In their tweet declaring support, the Pakistanis had called the democratically elected government of India (the Modi government) a fascist government and also called other Hindu organisations or even BJP/RSS affiliated organisations as “militant organisations”.


It is not surprising that Swara Bhaskar would align herself with the terrorist nation Pakistan and join hands with the enemy to denigrate India. Swara has often aligned herself with elements who raise ‘Bharat Tere Tukde Honge, Inshallah Inshallah’ slogans and even campaigned for one of them who was booked for the JNU event in 2016.

Earlier on Sunday, January 5, a large group of masked goons entered the campus of Jawaharlal Nehru University campus and assaulted students, faculty and other staff members. JNU Student Union president Aishe Ghosh was also attacked and she was injured in the incident.

The attack attracted widespread condemnation from several quarters, with students from many universities protesting against the violence meted out to the JNU students. Yesterday, students of IIM Ahmedabad registered their protest against the attack on JNU campus. The IIT Kanpur students also came out in support of the JNU students.

In addition, actress Deepika Padukone, as a part of her PR exercise before the release of her upcoming movie-Chhapaak, visited the JNU campus on Tuesday night to meet the victims of violence. She met Aishe Ghosh, the president of Jawaharlal Nehru University Students’ Union who was allegedly assaulted by masked goons on Sunday evening.

The JNUSU has accused the university vice-chancellor of being purportedly involved in meting out violence against the students. The student union says that by filing an FIR against Aishe Ghosh, the JNU administration has made it clear whose side it is in this fight. Delhi Police had filed a case against JNUSU President Aishe Ghosh following administration’s complaint against her. In fact, two FIRs have been registered against the JNUSU president and several others for attacking security guards and vandalising the server room of the university on January 4.

JNU rose to prominence after the event organised in 2016 witnessed anti-India and pro-Pakistani slogans raised by the participants who attend the event. One of the controversial slogans raised at the event was “Bharat tere tukde hoge Inshallah”, following which the university was criticised by many as a hub of anti-national and pro-Pakistani activities.
