Allahabad HC restricts the release of Al Jazeera’s propaganda documentary ‘India…Who Lit The Fuse’: Read what the judgement says

The Allahabad High Court has ordered an interim stay on the telecast/broadcast/release of the Al Jazeera documentary titled “India….Who Lit The Fuse?”. The judgement has been accessed by OpIndia. The Court has directed the Centre to take appropriate measures to ensure that the documentary is not allowed to be telecast/broadcast unless its contents are examined by the authorities, and necessary certification is obtained from the competent authority.

A PIL was filed by social activist Sudhir Kumar. The petitioner alleged that the documentary has the potential to cause disharmony amongst the citizens and threaten the integrity of the Nation.

“The writ petition proceeds on the premise that the film, if released/broadcast is likely to create hatred amongst different religious denominations and thereby destroy the secular fabric of the Indian State. The Film also has the potential to create social unrest and disturb public order, decency and morality,” the judgement reads.

“It is then stated that in case the film is allowed to be broadcast/telecast, it is likely to endanger the fraternity that exists in the country between India’s religious communities.”

“Averments are also made in the writ petition to the effect that Al Jazeera has exceeded its ambit so as to broadcast films, a position as investigations on its news channel with the singular intention of creating distress and endangering public order in the country.”

What is the Al Jazeera documentary about?

The petitioner says as per some print and social media reports, the documentary portrays a Muslim minority living with a sense of fear and presents a disruptive narrative creating a sense of public hatred, which is far from reality.

The petitioner underlines that the film negatively portrays the political functionaries of the Indian State and projects them as acting detrimental to the interest of minorities.

The petitioner states that the film purposefully seeks to create a rift between India’s largest religious communities through its disruptive narrative and create a sense of public hatred.

The documentary has further been accused of proposing to publicize distorted versions of facts with the intent to create disharmony amongst the citizens of the Country who belong to different religious denominations.

Documentary provoked anti-India response on Twitter

A supplementary affidavit was also filed today attaching various Twitter posts in response to the documentary on the pre-release of the film in some other countries.

These posts/comments suggest that campaigns are being conducted in several Indian states to demolish the houses and companies of the minority communities at the direction of the majority community.

Al Jazeera did not obtain certification for the documentary

The Union of India in furtherance to the petition submitted that necessary certification has indeed not been obtained by Al Jazeera for the release the documentary.

In doing so the petitioner alleged that Al Jazeera intended to overreach the constitutional safeguards for placing reasonable restrictions on the right of speech and expression.

Here’s what the court observed

The Allahabad HC in its judgement observed that although the Constitution of India guarantees the fundamental right of freedom of speech and expression but the same is subject to the reasonable restrictions specified in Article 19(2).

“Considering the seriousness of allegations made in the writ, which are likely to have far-reaching consequences the petition does require consideration,” the judgement reads.

It further reads, “Considering the evil consequences that are likely to occur on the telecast/broadcast of film in question its telecast/broadcast we are of the view that the broadcast/telecast of the film in question be deferred pending consideration of the cause in the present petition.”

How Al Jazeera has been running its anti-India propaganda

2015: Published fake map of India

In 2015, the Doha-based “news” organisation was banned for five days in India for deliberately publishing the wrong political map of India. The map showed integral parts of India to be parts of China and Pakistan.

18 April 2023: Normalised radicalisation

In a bid to brush Islamic radicalisation under the carpet, Al Jazeera published a 10-page Instagram post crying about “rising Islamophobia in India.” It did so by publishing sensational images generated through Artificial Intelligence.

19 June, 2022: Published fake news blaming Hindus

Fake news peddler Al Jazeera blamed Hindus for the murder of a maulvi in a mosque in Bihar. This even after the local police and the maulvi’s son stated that the murder was owing to a family dispute over property.

How foreign media has a history of targetted India & Hindus

On 17 January this year, BBC released part one of its propaganda documentary on the 2002 Gujarat riots titled “India: The Modi Question”.

The documentary sparked a massive storm. It selectively showed the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a negative light spinning a narrative entirely centred around the riots.

The sinister cinematography conveniently excluded several facts and key information in order to position Indian Muslims as victims under the “Hindutva Modi govt”.

All these documentaries contain a similar pattern of optics weaved in order to manipulate the masses and continue to cast doubts on the facts of the case.

The Ministry of External Affairs had denounced the documentary saying it was “designed to push a discredited narrative.”

The Allahabad HC has directed the respondents to file their reply by 6 July when the case will be heard next.

“The authorities of Union and State Government are directed to act in aid of above directions and thereby secure social harmony and protect the security and interest of the
Indian State,” the judgement concluded.

‘I am leaving your life, both of you be happy’: Minor Hindu girl commits suicide in Dehradun after writing a message with blood on wall, one Shadab accused of love jihad

Love jihad cases are growing at a rapid rate in the country. In the latest incident, a 17-year-old Hindu girl’s dead body was discovered hanging at her residence in Laxman Chowk of Dehradun, Uttarakhand. “I am leaving your life, both of you be happy,” was also found written in blood on a wall of the room. The police took the dead body in their possession and transported it to a hospital for postmortem.

Reportedly, she was in love with a Muslim individual named Shadab, and the victim’s family has accused him of leading the girl to kill herself.

The family is originally from Shamli in Uttar Pradesh and lived in a rental property near the Kotwali police station. They were sleeping on the roof of the house on the night of June 12 to escape the hot weather, but the girl later went to sleep in the room. Around two in the morning, her father arrived downstairs for some purpose and spotted his daughter’s body hanging from a noose.

The victim’s friend Shadab has been accused of luring her into love jihad. Her friends informed the police that he had tried to trap them as well. He along with his whole family has been charged with entrapping Hindu girls. He reportedly caught the minor in his trap.

The family members speculate that he might have visited the girl’s home to meet her. Additionally, they allude to the potential of murder. They stated that although they were not at odds with the girl, she had been indoctrinated. Hindu activists have voiced apprehension over the possibility that Shadab might have forced the girl into a sexual relationship. The police have labelled it a suicide prima facie. However, additional investigation will reveal more.

“After I had to leave Pakistan in 2019 because of the torture of Pakistani agencies, I went into depression and was about to give up, but then “Krishna” held my hand, and now it’s time to give it back and make my ancestors proud,” Ali tweeted.

Shayan went on to say that he will soon merge himself into the “Mitti” (soil) of his homeland India where his ancestors were born.

“I will very soon be visiting my homeland, where my grandparents and all my ancestors were born, and will merge myself into my own “Mitti” and “People” because, at the end: “Ghar toh Ghar hota hai,” Ali added.

“Today, I feel very proud of myself for coming back to my roots, and I hope my ancestors would be feeling the same. Sending you all so much love. Hare Krishna,” Ali added.

He also talked about how he was accused of being a Jewish agent and member of the Indian Intelligence Agency, R&AW after he refused to do a Pakistani intelligence agency ISI’s  PR music video on Kashmir. 

“People who know me are familiar that when I refused to work in a music video of DG-ISPR with the name of “Kashmir Hon Mein,” they started accusing me of being a RAW and JEW Agent only because of my blonde hair,” he said in a long Twitter post.

The influencer, who has over 25K followers on Twitter, stated that he had no choice but to leave Pakistan permanently due to ISI’s persistent oppression. He said that the Pakistani intelligence agency even conspired to kill him.

Teesta Setalvad was a ‘politician’s tool’, received Rs 30 lakhs from Ahmed Patel to unseat the Modi govt after 2002 Gujarat riots: State govt to HC

On Wednesday (June 15), the Gujarat government submitted before the Gujarat High Court that ‘activist’ Teesta Setalvad served as a ‘tool’ in the hands of politicians to defame the Modi government after the 2002 Gujarat riots. It added that she was paid Rs 30 lakh by the former Congress leader Ahmed Patel to unseat the then Narendra Modi government in Gujarat following the 2002 riots.

The statement was made while the state government opposed the bail application of Setalvad who is accused of fabrication of evidence in the 2002 Gujarat riots case. The State’s prosecution, represented by Public Prosecutor Mitesh Amin, highlighted her potential to tamper with evidence in the case related to the 2002 riots, as he strongly opposed her bail plea

Referring to the deceased Congress leader Ahmed Patel, Mitesh Amin, also submitted before the court of Justice Nirzar Desai that Teesta Setalvad was a “tool in the hands of certain politicians of certain political party.”

Mitesh Amin asserted that Setalvad had used two police officers, namely retired DGP RB Sreekumar and her co-accused former IPS Sanjiv Bhatt, as “tools” in order to “see (to it) that the existing establishment (in 2002, when Gujarat CM was Narendra Modi) is unseated, faces problems, and their image in the society is tarnished.”

Amin claimed that Ahmed Patel gave Rs 30 lakh to Setalvad in order to implicate and depose the then-establishment during the 2002 Gujarat riots. He continued by saying that after the money began to flow, a stage came where FIRs were filed against specific individuals, but it didn’t matter to Setalvad whether they were tried or punished.

“What was the motive for them was to see that the establishment of that time gets unseated. Pursuant to this, they were in search of a complainant who could be the complainant to propagate this. So ultimately, the first choice fell upon the father of the deceased Haren Pandya, namely Vithalbhai Pandya, who was aggrieved for reasons best known to him, against the highest functionary of the state (then CM Modi).” submitted the prosecution.

The prosecution will continue its arguments on Thursday.

Plotted for death sentence to Narendra Modi – SIT chargesheet

It may be recalled that the Special Investigation Team, probing allegations of fabrication of evidence in the Gujarat riot case had filed a 100-page chargesheet against ‘activist’ Teesta Setalvad, RB Sreekumar and Sanjiv Bhatt in the year 2022 in which it highlighted how Teesta Setalvad plotted to ensure death sentence for then-CM Narendra Modi in Gujarat Riots case.

The charge sheet noted that the riot victims were manipulated, and they were forced to sign the fabricated statements.

The SIT also highlighted how Teesta Setalvad had used funds collected in the name of riots for personal use.

The arrest of Teesta Setalvad in fabricated evidence case linked to Gujarat Riots 2002

Teesta Setalvad, the self-proclaimed ‘activist’ was arrested by the Gujarat ATS in June 2022 in a case of forgery, influencing witnesses, and the investigation of the Gujarat riots in 2002 that occurred in the aftermath of the Godhra Train burning incident, when 59 Hindus were burned to death after a Muslim mob set ablaze a Sabarmati Express bogey carrying passengers from Ayodhya. Teesta Setalvad is accused of coaching witnesses and making ridiculous accusations in several cases related to the Gujarat riots in 2002.

The case against Setalvad was filed after the Supreme Court gave a clean chit to Prime Minister Modi in the 2002 Gujarat Riots case. Teesta was granted bail on September 2 by the Supreme Court.

The wrestlers had been long protesting from April 23 against the former WFI chief alleging him of sexual offence. They also demanded his arrest and booked him under relevant sections of the law.

It is to be noted that several derogatory slogans were raised in the midst of the wrestlers protests which had been ongoing for months. It was reported that slogans like ‘Modi Teri Kabar Khudegi’ and also anti-India ‘Azadi’ slogans were raised during the protests.

Similar slogans were raised by protestors in many protests in the past. Anti-CAA protests, Shaheen Bagh protests, farmers’ protests, and various other protests in JNU are known for these Azadi slogans.

Uttarakhand: Mohammad Nafees tried to rape a cow in Haldwani, locals shave his head in protest, heavy police force deployed in the area

A lot of incidents where individuals were caught performing unnatural acts with bovines particularly cows have come to light in the past few weeks. In another disturbing occurrence, a Muslim man named Mohammad Nafees was caught while attempting to rape a cow in Haldwani, Uttarakhand, after which the furious locals hauled him to Lama Square, shaved his head and painted his face black in protest.

A video of the accused became viral on social media on June 14 in which he can be seen surrounded by people. Interestingly, Kalawa, a sacred thread worn by Hindus, was also spotted on his wrist.

A man in the clip can be heard stating, “He has a Kalawa on his hand to trick us. He was caught performing unnatural acts with a cow. He identified himself as Nafees. We have all granted these people (Muslims) access to our shops in this neighbourhood as well as all the nearby ones. Now, a lot of doubts have been raised because of this man.”

“He is acting in this manner while donning a Kalawa. You are all being forewarned since we have children in our family. Can those who are capable of doing this to a cow spare your family members? Are your spouses, sisters, brothers, and kids secure from them,” he asked.

The culprit was handed over to the police. Further action, in this case, is awaited. Meanwhile, Muslims have also closed their shops in retaliation. Heavy police are deployed in the area due to the growing tensions.

Notably, this month, Usman Khan tried to rape a pregnant cow called Nandini which was owned by a Bajrang Dal activist Nilesh Vijay Chaskar behind a hotel named Apulaki. He was turned over to the police, and the following day a formal complaint was brought against him. He admitted to the crime and maintained that he did it while under the influence of alcohol.

Hasan Khan, a cloth trader from Delhi, was arrested last month after engaging in the repulsive act of bestiality on a cow in Chhattisgarh’s Durg district. He was residing in a Housing Board Colony there. The entire act was recorded on a CCTV camera. He was arrested from the Gondia district of Maharashtra after a major uproar from Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha and other Hindu organisations.

In the Durg region of Chhattisgarh, Mohammad Sahil (18) and three other individuals were apprehended in March for participating in intercourse with a cow. The accused was reportedly drunk when the offence was carried out. A case was lodged at Bhilai Bhatti Police Station under sections 377 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code.

Uved Khan abducted the Hindu minor girl in Purola

The trigger leading to Hindus taking to the streets in Purola in Uttarkashi in Uttarakhand was a case of love jihad reported on May 31 from the Purola region of Uttarkashi where a Hindu minor girl was abducted by two youths, one of whom is from the Muslim community. The two accused have been identified as Uved Khan and Jitendra Saini.

One of them named Uved Khan trapped a Hindu girl studying in class 9, who is the daughter of one of the local shopkeepers in the market. He promised her marriage and then abducted her with the help of the other accused to the Vikasnagar region of the state. The duo were caught and have been taken into custody by the police.

After the incident, locals launched a massive protest and demanded the shutdown of the shops owned by outsiders, the majority of whom are from the minority community. The locals also demanded police verification of the outsiders. Earlier they had revealed how outsiders, people from the minority community migrate to Purola as shopkeepers and daily wage earners but engage in their religious propaganda.

In the recent update, the police authorities have begun police verification of the outsiders as demanded by the local shopkeepers. Also, around 8-10 outsiders who had their businesses in the main market have left the Purola region.

Hardoi, UP: Sumit, Adhiraj and others force Hindu man to convert to Christianity and threaten him when he refused, threw his Murthis out, FIR filed

In the Hardoi district of Uttar Pradesh, four people have been booked for attempting to force a Hindu family to convert to Christianity. A case was registered on Tuesday, June 13, against the four accused persons for pressuring a family to convert in the name of healing their ailing son. When the Hindu family refused to convert, the accused persons threatened to implicate them in a bogus case.

The matter pertains to the Odra village in the Sursa police station precinct wherein a person named Vijay Kumar Srivastava has lodged a complaint against four people in his village. He revealed in the complaint that Makoo, Sumit, Adhiraj, and Shivanandan are operating an unauthorised Christian school in the village. He added that Adhiraj and Shivnandan are Christian priests. 

The complainant stated that his son Saurabh suffered from a brain tumour. The accused claimed to cure him of the ailment. Following that, Vijay Kumar accompanied his son to the accused’s home multiple times. Even with his broom, his son’s condition did not improve. After a few days, the four accused informed Vijay that if he and his family converted to Christianity, they would receive one lakh rupees. In addition to this, his son will also be cured. Meanwhile, on December 24, 2022, he was handed 5000 rupees and a crucifix was placed around the neck of his ailing boy.

Makoo, Sumit, Adhiraj, and Shivanandan are accused to have had the Hindu deity idols in Vijay’s residence thrown out. When Vijay’s family and neighbours found out about it, they were outraged. Vijay refused to convert as well. According to the complaint, this infuriated the four accused. On 14 April 2023 at 6 p.m., they approached Vijay, who was working in the field at the time.

Furthermore, complainant Vijay Kumar revealed that the accused pressured him to convert on that day as well. The four accused threatened to implicate him in a bogus case if he did not comply. From that day onward, he was under constant pressure. Vijay Kumar was disturbed by this and filed a police complaint.
