On Friday, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said it was a matter of highest satisfaction for him that he tried to run the government on the path shown by Jesus Christ, reports Republic TV.

As elections are approaching in Delhi, Kejriwal attempted to piggyback on Jesus Christ as on Friday he claimed that his government has tried to serve the poor according to the path shown by Jesus Christ. Kejriwal said Jesus served the poor and destitute all his life and the AAP government too has opened Mohalla Clinics, provided free treatment in Delhi government hospitals and improved education to serve the poor.

“As we complete five years, it’s a matter of highest satisfaction for us that we have tried to run the government on the path shown by Jesus Christ,” Arvind Kejriwal said.

Kejriwal termed forgiveness the greatest message given by Jesus. “We would be fortunate if we could follow even one per cent of his teachings,” he said.

Muslim Cleric from Udupi says videos uploaded by UP police that shows anti-CAA Muslim mobs running riots is making ‘Muslims insecure’

The Uttar Pradesh police have released several videos and pictures through social media and various TV channels in the last few days, exposing the faces of several amongst the unruly Muslim mobs who ran amok in the state, in the pretext of protesting against the newly introduced Citizenship Amendment Act. But now a Muslim cleric has said that these videos have made Muslims insecure, by painting them as terrorists.

Flustered by the aggressive actions being taken by the UP Police to expose the Muslim troublemakers in the state, Udupi-Chikmagalur-Hassan Khazi PM Ibrahim Musliyaar Bekal on Thursday said the video clippings, posted on social media by police and telecast on some TV channels, have made ‘Muslims insecure’.

“The police are looking at us with suspicion,” said the Khazi, adding that the Muslim people agitating have come across as ‘terrorists’.

The video clips released by the Uttar Pradesh Police have exposed the frenzied Muslim mob’s nefarious agenda of creating unrest in the country at the behest of several Opposition leaders.

Leaders from half a dozen Muslim organisations, including SJU, SMA, SSF, SYS, said Muslims feel unsafe in the presence of policemen. They blamed the police for being selective in uploading video clippings of the violence.

An organised smear campaign is being run against the UP police alleging them of wantonly employing violent means to suppress ‘peaceful protests’ staged by the opposers of the CAA. However, this was debunked by the UP police by releasing videos and photos that conclusively implicated the rioters.

On December 20, the Uttar Pradesh police had uploaded as many as 9 videos of stone-pelting, arson, vandalism by mobs and action by police during anti-CAA riots in Uttar Pradesh.

In one of the videos from AMU, charged-up rioters can be seen breaking down the gate of the AMU as against the claim made by the sympathisers of the rioters that UP police broke it down. In another image circulated by Firozabad police, stones and bricks placed on the roofs of the houses can be seen, effectively vindicating the police stance that the protests were diligently planned to incite violence and anarchy.

Besides, UP CM Yogi Adityanath had already hinted that he has zero tolerance for the unruly behaviour of the mob indulging in arson and vandalism. In an unprecedented crackdown against the lumpen elements, the Yogi government arrested 1113 people after filing 327 cases related to violence. The state government has also issued notices to 372 people to recover damages to public infrastructure by seizing their properties.

However, despite the overwhelming evidence incriminating the Muslim rioters, the Muslim organisations, backed by Congress functionaries, have chosen to stand in solidarity with those who exhibited absolute disregard for the law of the land and actively took part in carrying out riots and instigating violence against the law enforcement agencies.

Kerala: Girls in Church choir dress up in Hijabs, boys with skull caps to ‘protest’ against CAA, sing Christmas carols in Islamic folk song tune

In a strange incident, the members of a Church choir in Kerala dressed up in Muslim attire, with girls wearing headscarves and boys in skull caps to express their solidarity with the anti-CAA movement in the country.

This bizarre protest comes at a time when Citizenship Amendment Act gives citizenship to persecuted religious minorities, including Christians, from the neighbouring three Islamic nations, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh, who have taken refuge in India prior to 31st December 2014.

Reportedly, fourteen protestors wearing Muslim attire sang carols during Christmas celebrations at St Thomas Mar Thoma Church in Kozhencherry in Kerala’s Pathanamthitta.

In the video of the performance shared on social media, the youngsters of the Church Choir group are seen singing Christmas carols composed in the tune of ‘Mappila pattu,’ which are traditional songs sung by the Muslim community in Kerala. The girls can be seen rhythmically clapping their hands similar to ‘Oppana’, another traditional art form of the Muslim community.

The video is being circulated with the caption ‘Christmas: Celebration of Refugees’.


Speaking to the media, Father Daniel T Philip, Assistant Vicar, said it was significant to express their solidarity to the agitations against CAA during the Christmas celebration.

“Jesus and his parents had to flee after his birth as refugees because of a king. What we are witnessing now can very well be related to it. People are being denied citizenship, their identities are getting lost, and they are being forced to run away as refugees. So for us, this year’s Christmas celebration is in solidarity with those people who are being victimised,” claimed Father Daniel.

He also added that the protestors chose to wear Muslim attire for the choir as a symbolic protest against Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s statement that protestors can be identified by their clothes. He added that the true meaning of Christmas lies in spreading peace among people.

“That is what we tried to do with this endeavour. There is no point in discriminating between communities or different persons; what we need is peace among all,” he said.

The event was organised by the Kozhencherry unit of Yuvajansakhyam, a youth wing of the Marthoma Church. Rev Daniel T Thomas, a priest who trained the youths, said that the carol was composed in mappila pattu style to express solidarity with those protesting against the CAA.

In a similar solidarity ‘protest’, few Churches in Kerala, Kolkata, Telangana and Assam had given sermon calls to people on Christmas-eve and morning mass to oppose the Citizenship Amendment Act. Reportedly, some Kolkata churches called for an end to ‘politics of hate’. The law which gives citizenship to persecuted Christians in three neighbouring states is being opposed by Churches in India.

Kerala’s Syro-Malabar Catholic Church also said that they are getting ‘anxious’ because of barriers of ‘differentiation and division being created’. In a church sermon, Archbishop Mar Anthony Kariyil said that attempts should not be made to create confusion and complexity amongst people.

In Secunderabad, Telangana, Wesley Church on Christmas Day congregation had people standing with placards that read “We Indians reject CAA” and “CAA against the constitution”.

The Muslim mobs have gone on a rampage across the country to protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act. These mobs have resorted to extreme violence against police officials including firing bullets and injuring them as they tried to stop these violent mobs from pelting stones. The mobs have also damaged crores worth of public infrastructure including police stations, railway infrastructures to protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act.

 

 

 

CPI(M) leader Mohammad Salim equates PM Modi and West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee with different breeds of dogs

CPI(M) leader Mohammad Salim equates PM Modi and West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee with different breeds of dogs

In a shocking remark made by the CPI(M) leader Mohammad Salim, the former Member of Parliament compared the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi and the West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to different breeds of dogs.


Speaking at an anti-CAA rally in the Bardhaman district of West Bengal, Salim likened the PM and the West Bengal CM to dogs and then went on to explain about their breeds.

Mohammad Salim said that when our PM was the CM of Gujarat, he used to refer to allegations levelled by opposition leaders as ‘bhaukna’, or barking of dogs. He then went on the to explain the meaning of bhaukna, saying it is same as the Bengali word for barking. But when talking about local breed dogs, people use the Bengali term, but when talking about foreign breeds like Alsatian dogs, people use the Hindi term for the barking of dogs. After that to explain the difference between local and foreign breeds of dogs, the CPI leader chose to use the examples of Narendra Modi and Mamata Banerjee. He said that just like different breeds of dogs are the same with some minor differences, Modi and Banerjee are also same with some minor differences. The difference between the PM and the CM are like the matter of breeds and pedigree of dogs, he added.

The debased attack on the Prime Minister comes at a time when opposition politicians across the country are trying to foment people to rise up in arms against the central government for the passage of the Citizenship Amendment Act that intends to grant citizenship to the persecuted minorities from the neighbouring countries of Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan.

This is not the first time that Salim had made a controversial remark. Earlier in 2015, in sparring with BJP’s Rajnath Singh, Salim claimed that Singh made a loaded Hindu comment in a magazine to describe the significance of Narendra Modi ascending to the position of Prime Minister of the country. This resulted in an emotional riposte from Singh who vehemently protested against the allegations levelled by Salim. Singh’s emotional counter and the resolute protests from the BJP benches caused a series of adjournments after which the Speaker decided to remove Salim’s controversial remarks from the House proceedings.

The National Investigation Agency launched a probe against the ISIS module active in Kerala. As a part of the probe in connection with the Kasargod IS module case, the NIA arrested a Palakkad native in April 2019, who was planning Sri Lanka style suicide attack in Kerala.

Rapid Action Force to get hi-tech riot gears, shock shields to tackle frenzied anti-CAA rioters in Delhi

As the anti-CAA protests raged on in Delhi on Friday, the Rapid Action Force deployed in Seelampur area, in the eastern part of the national capital Delhi switched to anti-riot shields with electric shock capabilities to curb protesters with minimum force. This is the first time security forces are resorting to the shields capable of generating a 12 Amp current, to keep back unruly mobs.


Approved by the Union home ministry, shock shields, costing Rs 20,000 apiece, are replacing the polycarbonate shields currently used by the troops. With these shock shields, RAF troops, at the flip of a switch, can deliver a non-lethal dose of electric shock to rioters coming in contact with them.

Alongside, portable laser dazzlers are also being used that visually impairs protesters for a few minutes. The laser shots can impair the eyesight for five to 15 minutes, making it difficult or impossible for rioters to aim properly, drive, run or jump. The weapon is very useful in controlling stone-pelters.

The Rapid Action Force (RAF), numbering around 10,000, have been called upon to break up riots and communal clashes in the national capital.

On Friday, Delhi Police made elaborate arrangements to check and deal with any untoward situation in the national capital and prohibitory orders were imposed in several sensitive areas of the city. Restrictions under section 144 of the CrPC were imposed in the area near Lal Quila, a large part of northeast Delhi district and around UP Bhawan in anticipation of the protests.

Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the Jama Masjid in Old City area and raised slogans against the new legislation and the proposed National Register of Citizens (NRC). Many of them gathered thereafter offering Friday prayers at the mosque.

In Jor Bagh, the police stopped a protest march to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s residence.

After riots, arson and stone-pelting, Jamia Millia Islamia ‘students’ planned fresh anti-CAA stir in Delhi today, They planned to gherao Uttar Pradesh Bhawan in Delhi to agitate against the Yogi Adityanath government over the deaths of rioters in police action during the anti-Citizenship (Amendment) Act protests in the state.

Meanwhile, flag marches were conducted in some areas of the Northeast district in Delhi and heavy police force has been deployed in place in Jamia Nagar, Jama Masjid and Chanakyapuri amid protest calls.

As prohibitory orders under Section 144 of the CrPC have been in place in the district since a month after protests turned violent, the police have urged people to not participate in any demonstrations that could turn violent.

The Delhi Police have also put up a banner asking people to refrain from staging demonstrations outside the Uttar Pardesh Bhawan as prohibitory orders are in place.

Congress wants Yogi Adityanath to resign because he would not let Islamists and politicians burn UP during anti-CAA riots

Congress wants Yogi Adityanath to resign because he would not let Islamists and politicians burn UP during anti-CAA riots

The official Twitter handle of Congress party today ‘slammed’ the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for sanctioning clampdown against the rampaging Islamists who indulged in violent activities across the state under the pretext of carrying out ‘peaceful protest’ against the legislation of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).


Calling Yogi Adityanath by his erstwhile name Ajay Bisht, the Congress party asked him to apologise to the nation for the violence and calamity that has taken over the state and immediately tender his resignation.

The state of Uttar Pradesh had indeed witnessed large-scale violence pertaining to the anti-CAA protests. However, as the police reports have substantiated, a large number of the violent incidents accompanying these protests were meticulously planned and plotted beforehand by the Islamists who participated in thousands to express their discontent with the passage of the Bill that intends to grant citizenship to the persecuted minorities from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh.

In one such incident from Uttar Pradesh’s Aligarh, a frenzied mob of Islamists masquerading as students ran riot and broke the University’s Bab-e-Syed gate. Subsequently, the crazed mob of hoodlums pelted stones at the law enforcement officials, provoking them to initiate crackdown against them. The video evidence shattered the leftist cabal’s false assertions that the UP Police had broken down the AMU gate and that they had forcibly barged in the hostels to pick up the protestors.

Similarly, from another town of Uttar Pradesh, Firozabad, the drone camera captured images showing large masses of stones and bricks placed on the roofs of the houses where police officials were attacked with stones during the anti-CAA protests on last Friday. The protests which were called right after the Friday Namaz prayers turned violent after rioters in the region started pelting stones from the terrace of the houses in the region. About 57 houses were identified where stones and bricks were seen to have been placed by the rioters.

The Islamists played a pivotal role in fueling violence in the state. This was attested by none other than Uttar Pradesh Director-General of Police (DGP) OP Singh who alleged that radical Islamic groups and mainstream political parties could have been involved in orchestrating riots across the state during the anti-Citizenship (Amendment) Act protests. Singh said that members of radical Islamic organisations – Popular Front of India (PFI) and its political front, Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI), including political parties like Samajwadi Party were involved in instigating Muslim mobs to indulge in violence across the state during the anti-CAA protests.

Three people associated with the radical Islamic organisation PFI, including UP state head Waseem, have been arrested by the Uttar Pradesh police for engineering violence by spreading misinformation through social media platforms. Besides, Samajwadi Party’s Sambhal MP was also arrested by the police for inciting mobs to embrace violent means while a case was registered by police against several accused persons including Samajwadi Party (SP) leaders Shafiqur Rahman Barq and Feroz Khan for indulging in violent protests in Sambhal district of Uttar Pradesh.

However, according to the Congress party, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is to be held responsible because he authorised the state’s police unit with a free hand to ensure that the law and order in the state is maintained. By pinning the blame of the violence on Yogi Adityanath government, the Congress party also attempts to whitewash the nefarious deeds of the Islamists who ran berserk during the anti-CAA riots and caused severe damages to life and public property.

Gujarat: FIR filed against Muslim community leader and others for urging Muslims to boycott doctors who support the CAA

A notice has been issued by the Vadodara cyber police seeking an explanation from the chairman of the Gujarat chapter of Minority Development and Protection Foundation, Zuber Gopalani, for his controversial post on social media in which he had asked the adherents of Islam to boycott professionals supporting the controversial Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), as per reports. Gopalani is also a National Executive Council Member of the All India Muslim Majlise Mushavirat. Later an FIR was lodged against the Muslim community leader and two others in the case.

The notice which was issued on December 25 read that Gopalani’s post “provokes enmity between communities” as the post included specific names of the individuals from Vadodara’s medical community. It also asked Gopalani to appear before the police and explain his action.

“A tweet posted from your account names doctors from Vadodara’s medical community and alleges that they have made anti-Muslim remarks in public and extended their support to the CAA. This post attempts to fuel disharmony between communities and instigate a breach of peace between them. It has also given rise to a sense of fear among the doctor’s community in the city as you have directly asked the Muslim community to boycott the doctors and thus propounding a message of hatred and discord among the society. You are therefore called in to explain your action,” the notice read.

In his Twitter post, Gopalani had mentioned names of 14 doctors with their specialisation alleging that they routinely speak against the Indian Muslims on various forums. Adding that these doctors support CAA and NRC, Goplani asked the Muslim community members to boycott such doctors with “communal mindset”. He later deleted the tweet. Some of the doctors named by Zuber Gopalani have said that they had not shared any message on CAA or NRC, and they were surprised to see their names on his post.

Eventually, an FIR was filed against Gopalani, and two other men for propagating the contentious post. FIR was lodged against one Sagir Ahmed Abdul Ghani Ansari for posting the tweet and Mohammad Soaib Mohammad Kadiwala for forwarding the message on WhatsApp. The three men have been booked under sections 153 A (Promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language, etc., and doing acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony), 505 (with intent to incite) and 114 (abettor present when offence is committed) of the IPC.

According to a police officer who wished to remain anonymous, the action was taken as a precautionary measure to safeguard against targeting people in the city due to inflammatory social media messages. “The post clearly targets doctors and therefore the threat perception to these accomplished professionals cannot be ignored. Our social media cell is monitoring the social media activities in the fairest manner possible,” the police officer said.

Television actor Kushal Punjabi ends life at his Mumbai home, leaves suicide note

In a shocking incident, television actor Kushal Punjabi was found dead, allegedly by committing suicide, in his Bandra apartment on Friday. The 37-year-old actor’s body was found hanging at his Pali Hill residence last night. His parents found him when they broke into his house last night.

Reportedly, the actor has left behind a one-and-a-half page suicide note before committing suicide. The Bandra police have found a suicide note at his home and are investigating the matter further. The police have also registered a case of accidental death (ADR).

It is being reported that Kushal Punjabi was suffering from depression. He was also facing financial troubles. Further, troubles in his professional life were also affecting his marriage allegedly leading to actor ending his life.

In his suicide note, Punjabi said nobody should be held responsible for his death, a police official said. The actor’s body was found by his parents around 2 am on Friday.

The suicide note left behind by Kushal Punjabi stated that all his property should be divided between his parents, son and sisters. “He was found dead by his parents around 2 am on Friday. His parents reached his building after he did not pick up their calls. He left a one-and-a-half page suicide note,” said Vijay Lakshmi Hiremath, a senior police inspector from Bandra police station.

Actor Kushal Punjabi has appeared in films such as “Kaal” and “Lakshya” as well as the reality show “Fear Factor”.

According to actor Chetan Hansraj, Kushal committed suicide due to stress and financial problems. “He has apparently committed suicide. I spoke to him on the Christmas eve, he was sounding low but not to the point that he will do something like this. He was in a bit stress about his work and some financial support and all that. But I think everyone in this industry has some stress-related work. I think his married life was also going through some difficult time. Last night his dad called me up”, said Chetan.

Jharkhand: Half charred body of Ranchi woman Vineeta recovered from a field, partner Munsif Khan detained by police

Jharkhand: Half charred body of Ranchi woman Vineeta recovered from a field, partner Munsif Khan detained by police

Almost a month after the charred body of a veterinary doctor was recovered from Shamshabad, Hyderabad, another similar incident has emerged from Khunti district adjacent to Ranchi, the capital of Jharkhand.

The Jharkhand Police on Thursday recovered a half-burnt body of a 33-year-old pregnant woman near Tiril Toli in Kalamati village, in Khunti, Ranchi, Jharkhand. As soon as the news spread SDPO Ashish Kumar Mahali and the station in-charge of Khunti, Jaideep Toppo reached the spot. The police took the body of the deceased and sent it to Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) for post-mortem.

Police are suspecting that the pregnant woman might have been murdered after being raped and thereafter burnt and dumped in the nearby field by the perpetrator.

Police said that the body has been identified as that of Vineeta Tirkey alias Anjali. Vineeta had been living with a man named Munsif Khan in Mahavir Nagar falling under Argoda police station limits of ​​Ranchi. Police detained Munsif Khan for interrogation after he came to identify the body after the picture of the half-charred body went viral on social media.

It is being alleged that the Vineeta’s partner Munsif Khan had not approached the police after she went missing on Wednesday, arousing suspicion of he being behind the crime.

The headman of the Fuddi Zilla Panchayat, Herrmann Toppo, said that some people were going towards the fields around 9 am on Thursday when they came across the charred body. They immediately informed the police who rushed to the spot and sent the body for post mortem.

SP Ashutosh Shekhar informed that prima facie investigation revealed that the woman was murdered elsewhere and was later brought and dumped at the spot. In order to eliminate the woman’s identity, the perpetrator must have wrapped the body of the deceased in plastic and thereafter burnt it, said the SP.

The SP also maintained that the possibility of whether the woman was raped or was pregnant could not be ascertained unless the post mortem report testified it. He, however, did not rule out the possibility of either.

The woman was living with Munsif Khan after separating from her husband. She is survived by two children.

Urging the police to take quick action against the perpetrator, the village headman said that the Jharkhand police should also punish the accused involved in this incident in a similar manner in which the Hyderabad Police punished the accused in the veterinary doctor rape and murder case.
