Pakistan: Deputy Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar admits to acting as the spokesperson for the Taliban

Pakistan’s Deputy Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar recently confessed that her country serves as the Taliban’s “spokesperson.” Embarrassing Pakistan while in an exclusive conversation with Pakistani media outlet Geo News on Saturday, she admitted that Islamabad often advocates for Afghanistan on global forums.

As soon as Khar realised her mistake, she quickly added that the Shehbaz Sharif-led administration had favoured dialogue with the Taliban administration because Pakistan would be forced to face the consequences of poverty, hunger and terrorism in Afghanistan.

MoS for Foreign Affairs of Pakistan, Hina Rabbani Khar, said, “I won’t have any room if the number of people killed along the Pakistani border escalates. We don’t pursue diplomacy by instructing others what to do. We’re expressing our own perspectives. Our view is not the Western view. We don’t want such conditions to prevail in Afghanistan. In a way, we end up becoming their (Taliban) spokesperson. It is Muttaqi (Amir Khan Muttaqi, Minister of Foreign Affairs in the Taliban government) Sahab’s job, not ours, to serve as Afghanistan’s spokesperson. There should be clarity on this.”

Hina Rabbani Khar admits how the Balakot Airstrikes continue to haunt Pakistan

Hina Rabbani Khar also stated that Islamabad cannot cooperate with a “changed” India under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, whose administration differs from the previous Manmohan Singh-led “secular” UPA regime. Khar pointed to the Balakot airstrikes in 2019 and claimed that Modi had sent Pakistan multiple messages, one of which was the ‘unprecedented’ airstrike within Pakistan. When the Narendra Modi government stripped the former J&K state of its special status on August 5, 2019, the deputy foreign minister of Pakistan sought that the decision is overturned.

Khar also claimed that the Modi government tried to bring Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) with the intention to strip Indian Muslims of their citizenship. However, the truth is that the CAA has absolutely nothing to do with Indian citizens irrespective of their religion in any way. The Indian citizens enjoy fundamental rights imparted to them by the Constitution of India. No law, not even the CAA, has the authority to restrict or in any manner take away their fundamental rights. 

CAA holds relevance solely to Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Buddhist, Parsi, and Christian immigrants who migrated to India from Pakistan, Bangladesh, or Afghanistan prior to December 31, 2014, because of religious persecution. It does not apply to any other immigrants, including Muslims who have migrated to India from any country, including these three.

Role of Pakistan in the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan

Reportedly, Ex-ISI chief Faiz Hameed had a significant role in the formation of the interim Afghan Cabinet led by Mullah Mohammad Hasan Akhund. This was demonstrated by Hameed’s frequent visits to Kabul following the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan. Furthermore, the Pakistani military’s drones and helicopters supported the terrorist group in capturing Afghanistan’s Panjshir region from the National Resistance Front. Additionally, it was reported that the Pakistan military favoured the Haqqani network, whose senior leaders have gained positions in the government.

Pakistan has frequently urged other countries to send financial aid to Afghanistan despite human rights violations. However, the relationship between the neighbours deteriorated due to the Afghan Taliban’s inability to rein in the TTP’s activities and the assassination of Al-Qaeda commander Ayman al-Zawahiri in Kabul. During his speech to the UN General Assembly, Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif raised alarm about the presence of banned groups on Afghan land, which the Taliban denied.

Tej Pratap Yadav storms out of RJD’s national convention midway accusing party leader Shyam Rajak of hurling abuses at him and his sister

Tej Pratap Yadav, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) politician and Lalu Prasad Yadav’s son, angrily came out of the party’s national meeting in New Delhi today, saying that senior RJD leader Shyam Rajak yelled obscenities at him, his personal assistant, and his sister. Tej Pratap Yadav stormed out of the party’s two-day national convention on Sunday, telling reporters that Shyam Rajak attacked him when he called to inquire about the program’s time.

‘He abused me when I asked him about the party meeting timing. Rajak also used expletives at my sister and my PA too. I have the audio too that I will post on my page and then the people of Bihar will know the truth,’ Tej Pratap Yadav told reporters while coming out of the meeting. RJD is having its two-day national convention in Delhi

Labelling Shyam Rajak as a BJP and RSS man, Yadav said, ‘Shyam Rajak abused me, my personal assistant sister today when I asked him about the schedule of the meeting. I have an audio recording & I’ll put it on my social media. Such BJP-RSS people should be thrown out of the party.’

Storming out of the venue, Tej Pratap said that nobody is going to sit there to hear abuse, saying that Shyam Rajak abused him.

RJD National General Secretary Shyam Rajak said that he has nothing to make a remark about. “I have no comments to make on it. He is saying what he wants to say because he is powerful, I am a Dalit man, and cannot say anything,” Rajak said.

The RJD’s two-day national conference began today in New Delhi. However, the RJD appears to be in disarray, as state president Jagdanand Singh snubbed the two-day national conference. The meeting takes place before RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav travels to Singapore for a kidney transplant on October 10.

Since his son Sudhakar Singh was forced to leave as the agricultural minister in the Nitish Kumar administration, Jagdanand Singh has been dissatisfied with the party’s senior leadership, as per reports.

Jammu & Kashmir: Opposition parties protest against the decision to construct cancer hospital on a part of Eidgah grounds in Srinagar

The Jammu and Kashmir Waqf Board is facing mounting criticism from regional parties and political figures over its plan to repurpose a portion of Srinagar’s Eidgah into a cancer hospital. This comes after Waqf Board Chairperson Darakhshan Andrabi indicated that a portion of the Eidgah site will be utilised to construct a cancer hospital.

Former Chief Minister and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti said, “The statements issued about Eidgah have hurt the sentiments of local Muslim populace, which is watching the situation with lots of apprehension. The place is meant for prayers. Anything done against the wishes of the people will be fraught with dangers.”

Mehbooba Mufti blamed the administration for creating a pressure cooker situation in J&K. “This government has no representative character and no authority to take decisions on behalf of any community, especially the Muslim community to which the Waqf properties belong to,” she stated.

Numerous youth groups have also spoken out against the Waqf Board’s decision. According to National Conference spokesperson Imran Nabi Dar, the Eidgah is just for prayers. “We have two cancer hospitals just a few kilometres away from the site. This Eidgah is used by youth from the old city, which does not have enough open spaces. Where will the youth go? Let the government identify some other site,” Dar said.

Hurriyat chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq stated in a statement that the Eidgah in Srinagar was acquired in the 15th century by Persian saint Mir Mohammad Hamdani. Farooq described it as “a historic public space,” and stated it was where Kashmir’s first cricket and football games were played.

Darakhshan Andrabi, Waqf Board head, and BJP politician declared on September 22 that a cancer hospital will be built on Eidgah grounds. According to Andrabi, the hospital was initially intended to be erected next to Sultan-ul-Arifeen Sheikh Hamza Makhdoomi’s tomb in Rainawari, but the archaeological department rejected the idea. She stated that the hospital will be built on around 80 Kanals of land (10 acres). The Eidgah has an area of 650 kanals, or 80 acres.

In her capacity as Waqf chief, Andbrabi has implemented a number of corrections, including eliminating “peer” donation boxes from Valley shrines, doing away with the tradition of politicians donning turbans, and modifying Waqf property rentals.

PM Modi to declare Modhera village in Gujarat, which houses the iconic Sun temple, as India’s first solar-powered village

On Sunday (October 9), Prime Minister Narendra Modi will declare the Modhera village, located in the Mehsana district of Gujarat, as India’s first solar-powered village.

As per reports, the project to turn Modhera into a net renewable energy generator was a joint initiative of the Gujarat government and the Centre. Residents of the village are now expected to save 60-100% on electricity bills.

In a tweet, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, “Looking forward to being in Modhera today. Modhera, which is associated with the Sun Temple will also be known for its strides in solar energy.”

The State government had allotted 12 hectares of land for the ‘Solarisation of Modhera Sun Temple and Town.’ The project has been implemented at a cost of ₹80.66 crores, borne by both the Gujarat government and the Centre.

While speaking about the development, Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel said that the State is leading in fulfilling the vision of clean energy generation of PM Narendra Modi. “We are committed to fulfil his resolve of producing 50% of India’s energy requirements through renewable energy by 2030,” he said.

Reportedly, 1300 solar panels of 1kW capacity have been installed on the rooftop of houses in Modhera village. The power generated by it is used in the daytime. A 15 MW Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project, located at Sujjanpura in Mehsana, stores energy by charging the batteries during the day and it provides power supply at night time.

A 50-kW solar-powered electric vehicle charging and parking infrastructure facility along with a battery energy storage System (BESS) also has been installed near Modhera Sun Temple.

According to Modhera Sarpanch, Jatanben Thakor, power bills have been reduced to zero for several households that would earlier pay ₹1000 per month. “Solar panels have been installed at all feasible houses, free of cost. In case of excess power, we earn extra income too,” the village Head added.

The solar project in Modhera is reportedly the country’s first “grid-connected mega-watt hour scale battery energy storage system”. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will also dedicate a 3-D projection facility to the iconic Modhera Sun Temple.

“Glimpses of the spectacular light and sound, which will begin today with Hon’ble PM Narendra Modi ji’s visit to the magnificent Modhera Sun Temple in Gujarat,” BJP Minister Meenakshi Lekhi said in a tweet.

Situated on the banks of river Pushpavati, the Modhera Sun Temple was built by the Chaulukya dynasty. “The remains of the Sun Temples at Modhera are relics of times gone by when reverence of the natural elements fire, air, earth, water and sky were at their peak sharing space with myriad manifestations of Vedic gods,” reads the website of Gujarat tourism.

Narendra Modi Government issues demarche to Canada over Khalistan referendum scheduled on November 6

Narendra Modi Government issues demarche to Canada over Khalistan referendum scheduled on November 6

This week, the Narendra Modi government in India sent a demarche to the Justin Trudeau-led Canadian government urging that it halt the purported Khalistan referendum planned by a banned organisation for November 6 in Ontario since it would violate India’s territorial integrity and sovereignty. A top Ministry of External Affairs official delivered the demarche to a senior official of the Canadian High Commission, and the Indian Embassy in Ottawa would also convey India’s deep concern to Global Affairs, Canada, in the upcoming week.

A purported referendum on Khalistan was held on September 19 in Brampton, Ontario, Canada. It was organised by the pro-Khalistani outfit Sikhs For Justice. Over 100,000 Canadian Sikhs reportedly turned out to participate in the “referendum.” Despite vehement objections from the Indian government, the Canadian government let the so-called referendum proceed. According to SFJ, they will contact the UN and other international organisations after getting the Canadian Sikhs’ approval for the Indian state Punjab’s independence from India.

On September 22, MEA spokesperson Arindam Bagchi called the so-called Khalistan referendum as a ‘farcical exercise’ and conveyed India’s concerns over the use of Canadian territory by politically motivated extremists against India.

Despite stating on September 16 to respect India’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and assuring that the Canadian government will not recognise the so-called referendum, the Trudeau government due to its vote bank politics refrained from stopping the first phase of the referendum which took place in Brampton. The Trudeau government has offered a standard excuse that people in his country have the right to assemble and express their views peacefully and without violating the law, despite India raising the issue of Sikhs For Justice (SFJ) run by Sikh extremist Gurpatwant Singh Pannu with the Canadian government and national security agencies.

Indian security agencies and senior officials warned Canada that if the Trudeau government fails to stop the Khalistani extremists from brainwashing Sikh youths and controlling Gurudwaras, they may end up carving out a Khalistan in Canada. 

Notably, the Indian government on September 23, issued an advisory for Indians visiting Canada. MEA advised Indians to exercise caution in the wake of increased hate crime anti-India activities in Canada.

Instead of taking action against the perpetrators of hate crimes against Indians and particularly Hindus, the Trudeau government issued a counter-advisory on September 27 advising Canadians to avoid traveling to the areas 10 kilometres in the vicinity of the international border with Pakistan in Punjab, Gujarat, and Rajasthan citing ‘unpredictable security situation and presence of landmines and unexploded ordnance.’ 

Recently, hate crime against Indians has increased in Canada. On September 14, In Toronto, several Khalistani terrorists spray-painted anti-Indian messages on the BAPS Swaminarayan Temple.  The Hindu temple’s walls were painted with the slogans “Khalistan Zindabad, Hindustan Murdabad.” The Indian High Commissioner in Ottawa had condemned the attack and demanded action to be taken, however, no strong action has been taken against the culprits till now. 

Although the Trudeau government maintained that it does not recognise the SFJ-backed so-called Khalistan Referendum, Canada’s National Democratic Party (NDP) has openly declared its support for the Khalistan Referendum in Canada, citing it as a basic human right granted to the Canadian Sikhs by local and international laws. NDP leader and MP Jagmeet Singh have backed the referendum. When asked about the same by the local media, he said, “Some people are spreading misinformation to create division, distract and misinform the public. The simple truth is that everyone has the unalienable right to pursue impudence through a referendum.” 

Now, the fact that NDP is an ally of the Trudeau government is what might prompt a strong reaction from the Modi government which is already putting pressure on the Canadian government against the rise of pro-Khalistan activities in the country.

Rajasthan: Girls block highway in Jaipur over repeated harassment and molestation bids from local miscreants, no action from government

Rajasthan’s Congress government led by chief minister Ashok Gehlot and the entire Congress party is observing silence as hostel girls blocked a highway in Jaipur on Saturday 8th October 2022 against repeated harassment and molestation bids from local miscreants.

On Saturday night, a protest against local criminals was organized by hostel girls from Prem Nagar’s Social Welfare Department in the Jamdoli area of Jaipur – the capital city of Rajasthan. After some miscreants harassed a girl in the hostel, enraged girls protested and blocked the highway.

After learning about the event, angry girls took to the streets to demonstrate against the law and order breakdown in the state. Despite the rain around, the girls continued with their protest. Protesting girls claimed that they had been complaining about the repeated harassment by local miscreants but to no avail.

Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot’s government has been observing silence over this protest by the girls. In fact, no leader of the Congress party has come forward to acknowledge the problem.

Officials from the Jaipur Kanota police station arrived after learning about the demonstration and monitored the situation. Police officers promised tough punishment against the miscreants and tried to calm the situation. Women police officers have been stationed close to the hostel after the protest. The administration, however, has not taken any steps to apprehend the criminals. Though the situation is under control and the girls returned to their hostels, the state government has not responded to this issue so far.

Bharatiya Janata Party has criticized the law and order situation in Rajasthan after this protest by the hostel girls. BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawala tweeted, “In Jaipur’s Jamdoli, goons harassed a girl & tore off her clothes! Now, girls are out on the street protesting in the rain because law & order has collapsed! Ladki hoon par kya bach sakti hoon? Gehlot is busy in Satta Bachao as Rajasthan has become no1 in rapes Priyanka Vadra is silent?”

He said in a next tweet, “Last week Rajasthan saw how 8 men gang-raped a minor, blackmailed her, and released the video! We also saw how two wow men were attacked with acid in Jaipur Meanwhile Gehlot Ji was busy in Delhi! Priyanka Vadra has got no time to even speak about it! Why the selective outrage?”

Details of the miscreants have not come out in public so far.

Bangalore-Mysore Tipu Express renamed Wodeyar Express; MP Pratap Simha and Karanataka CM Bommai welcome the decision, Owaisi expresses displeasure

On Sunday, October 9, Indian Railways renamed Bangalore-Mysore Tipu Express as Wodeyar Express. The name is given after the Wodeyar dynasty that ruled the Mysore state from the late 1300s till 1950. Bharatiya Janata Party MP Pratap Simha had written a letter to the Railway Ministry regarding the renaming of the train. The Ministry of Railways has now issued a letter to change the name of this train.

MP Pratap Simha tweeted, “Good news on Friday! Now instead of Tipu Express, ‘Wodeyar Express’ will serve you!! Mysore-Talaguppa train will be ‘Kuvempu Express’!!! Thank you Ashwini Vaishnav Ji and Prahlad Joshi Ji for supporting this effort, Sir!”

He further tweeted, “Thanks to my friend DP Satish for the cool name suggestion – ‘Kuvempu’! Thank you for your blessings.” It is notable that Kuvempu is the pen name of the great Kannada poet Kuppali Venkatappa Puttappa after whom the Mysore-Telangana train is named now. Pratap Simha had requested the name change in a meeting with the railway minister.

Pratap Simha also shared the letter he wrote to the Ministry of Railways requesting the name change. In this letter, Pratap Simha said, “Considering the contributions of the Wodeyar Dynasty not only for the development of the Railways but also for transforming it as a modern state, there is a strong sentiment among the people of my parliamentary constituency to rename T.No.12614113 super fast daily express between Mysore-Bengaluru City-Mysore as WODEYAR EXPRESS.”

Karnataka’s chief minister Basavaraj Bommai has welcomed this step by the Ministry of Railways. He tweeted, “Thanks to the Union Railway Minister Shri @AshwiniVaishnaw for renaming the Mysore – Bangalore Express and Talaguppa – Mysore Express as Wodeyar Express and Kuvempu Express respectively. It is an apt recognition of our rich heritage & glorious past.”

However, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has expressed his displeasure with the decision. He tweeted, “BJP govt renamed Tippu Express to Wodeyar Express. Tipu irks BJP because he waged 3 wars against its British masters. Another train could have been named after Wodeyars. BJP will never be able to erase Tipu’s legacy. He scared the British while alive & scares British slaves even now.”

Asaduddin Owaisi is known for admiring the Islamist tyrant Tipu Sultan and presenting him as a patriot who fought against the British.

Complaint filed against Justice DY Chandrachud accusing him of passing order benefiting his lawyer son’s client, Bar Council dismisses claims

Complaint filed against Justice DY Chandrachud accusing him of passing order benefiting his lawyer son’s client, Bar Council dismisses claims

Justice DY Chandrachud, who is next in line to become the Chief Justice of India, has been accused of benefitting his son by a complainant named Rashid Khan Pathan.

In a letter, the President of ‘Supreme Court and High Court Litigant Association’ alleged that Justice Chandrachud passed orders in a case where his son Abhinav Chandrachud appeared as a lawyer before the Bombay High Court.

“Having perceived an adverse atmosphere and having realized that their plan to commit extortion is failed, all the accused including Adv. Abhinav Chandrachud and Justice D.Y. Chandrachud hatched a further conspiracy to exert pressure upon the other Petitioners & also upon the High Court,” Pathan claimed.

The case relates to an extortion case where Advocate Abhinav Chandrachud is the counsel of the accused named Sagar Suryavanshi and Sheetal Tejwani. In this case, Sagar Suryavanshi had filed an intervention petition in relation to several other similar FIRs by making her a complainant, but it was rejected by the High Court, the letter says.

The complainant in the letter says that this petition was bogus as it was based on the false claim that there is one application filed by the state for vacating the stay granted to the Petitioners and that the Bombay High Court is not hearing the said application. The complaint says that actually there is no application filed by the state and the state has not approached the Supreme Court. But despite that, the matter came up for hearing before the Supreme Court bench of Justice Dr. D.Y. Chandrachud, and he passed an order on a non-existent applicant, the letter further alleged.

The letter says, “On 29.11.2021 the matter came up for hearing before the Bench of accused Justice Dr. D.Y. Chandrachud. Then as a part of a pre-planned conspiracy, Justice D. Y. Chandrachud without hearing the Counsel for the state and without issuing any notice to the other parties straightaway passed a blatantly illegal order regarding a non-existent application allegedly filed by the state. This was done to serve the ulterior purposes of his son and other syndicates of the mastermind extortionist accused Sagar Suryawanshi”.

According to the complaint against the Supreme Court judge, Justice Chandrachud was disqualified to hear any case where his son is representing any of the parties. While accusing the Supreme Court Judge of conflict of interest, the complainant said, “But then also he heard the matter and passed the order beneficial to his son’s client. This is an offence under sections 166, 219, 409, 120(B), 34 & 52, etc., of the Indian Penal Code.”

Pathan further alleged that the future Chief Justice violated settled principles of law while disposing of a petition, challenging restrictions on the movement of those who were not vaccinated against Covid-19. He also accused Justice Chandrachud of providing ‘wrongful profits’ to the tune of crores to vaccine companies.

Complainant Rashid Khan Pathan has also asked CJI U.U. Lalit not to recommend the name of Justice DY Chandrachud as the next chief justice of India.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court Judge also has been accused of possessing a US Green card. A Twitter user named Indra Vajra made the allegation on the micro-blogging platform and asked, “Is it not a clear case of conflict of interest?”

Screengrab of the tweet by Indra Varja

Bar and Bench, in a fact-check, claimed that the allegation was false and that Justice DY Chandrachud is an Indian citizen. Recently the apex court Judge courted controversy after excerpts of his judgment in the 2018 adultery case went viral on social media.

“Justice D.Y. Chandrachud held that a married woman can make her own sexual choices. By marrying, she has not consented to refrain from sexual relations outside of marriage without the permission of her husband. A husband is not the owner of his wife’s sexuality,” a report by The Hindu from September 2018 has been doing the rounds of social media.

In July this year, Supreme Court Justice DY Chandrachud admonished critics of the Indian Judiciary. “I recently read a news article saying the Supreme court is delaying the hearing in the matter (of violence against Christians). Give us a break!” he said.

“One of the judges was down with covid, that’s why we couldn’t hear it. There’s a limit to how much you can target judges”, Justice Chandrachud s.

Bar Council of India issues statement

In a statement, the Bar Council of India refuted the allegations against Justice Chandrachud and condemned ‘some people with vested interests’ for supposedly interfering with the administration of Justice and the functioning of the Judiciary.

Questioning the timing of the letter, the Bar Council remarked, “It is nothing but a scurrilous and malicious attempt to interfere with the functioning of Judiciary and the administration of Justice. Such growing tendency is really a matter of serious concern for the country and it has to be checked anyhow.”

It dismissed allegations of conflict of interest and said that the orders by the Supreme Court “do not show that Justice Chandrachud knew that his son had appeared in the matter before the High Court.

“This long letter is nothing, but a device to gain cheap popularity. This man has also defamed the litigants-mass of our country. This is also very sad. Such persons deserve strong penal and disciplinary action”, the Bar Council of India said.

While recommending disciplinary action against Rashid Khan Pathan, it said, “The country and the Indian Bar has complete faith in Dr. Justice D. Y. Chandrachud. Hon’ble Dr Justice D. Y. Chandrachud is an asset for the world’s Judiciary and is known for his knowledge, honesty and integrity.”

The Council also appealed to Justice Chandrachud to ignore the letter and said that Judges are not under compulsion to defend their verdicts against ‘scandalous and baseless attacks’ from anti-institutional people.

Urvashi Rautela-Rishabh Pant memes flood the internet as the actress ‘follows her heart’ to Australia ahead of T20 World Cup

Netizens have given a fresh push to the drama between Bollywood actress Urvashi Rautela and Indian cricketer Rishabh Pant, filling social media with memes after the latest social media post by the actress. Urvashi uploaded photos of herself on Facebook and Instagram as she boarded a plane bound for Australia, where the T20 World Cup will be held.

When Urvashi shared pictures of herself, confirming that she, too, will be in Australia soon, fans couldn’t help but share funny memes about the Bollywood actress and Rishabh Pant. Notably, Rishabh Pant is already in Australia, getting ready with his teammates for the upcoming ICC World Cup.

Social media users made a variety of memes following this post by the Bollywood actress. Sports journalist Avinash Aryan wrote on Twitter, “Somebody save our Rishabh Pant..Hey Bhagwan kaisa julm hai ye..”

Twitter user Aditi wrote, “Boys: Ladkiya to khud se msg bhi nahi krti. Meanwhile humari ladki :”

Notably, this comes after the actress made waves earlier when she posted an anonymous ‘Happy Birthday’ message on Rishabh Pant’s birthday, along with a kiss. Several memes followed the post by Urvashi Rautela.

Urvashi Rautela, a Bollywood actress and model, has recently made news for her cryptic messages and constant veiled jabs at cricketer Rishabh Pant. For the people unfamiliar with the matter, Urvashi Rautela and Rishabh Pant previously locked horns when the actress claimed that a man she described as ‘Mr RP’ once waited for her in a hotel lobby for hours to see her and ended up dialling her several times. After her followers pondered whether Urvashi was referring to Rishabh Pant, the cricketer responded on Instagram, labelling the actress a “liar” and “thirsty for fame.”

Later that month, Urvashi sparked yet another controversy when she made an apologetic video. She apologised to Pant in a video interview message that went viral on social media. However, the actress then denied any such rumours, claiming that they were false and that her message was intended for her fans rather than the batsman.

Jai Shri Ram Sena objects as YouTuber Sahil Khan insults Hindus by making half-nude bar dancers dance on Shiva Bhajan

Hindu organisation Jai Shri Ram Sena has vehemently condemned a video posted by a fitness instructor and former Bollywood entertainer Sahil Khan on YouTube. In the video, semi-naked bar dancers are dancing on a Shiva Bhajan. Sahil posted the video as a live story on Instagram.

A screen recording of the story was shared on Instagram by Indian bodybuilder Bharat Singh Walia. In the story, two girls are dancing in what appears to be a disco bar, with a Shiva bhajan playing in the background.

The Jai Shri Ram Sena has served Sahil Khan with a legal notice demanding that he apologise for playing the song and offending Hindus. They also requested that he create a video apologising to Hindus and acknowledging the significance of the Mantra in the song. The letter reads, “This notice is served to you on behalf of Jai Shri Ram Sena Sanghthan & whole Hindu community for disrespecting our almighty Bhagwan Shiv/ Mantra by propagating them in a lustful and disrespectful manner.”

The notice by JSRS.

Referring to the video, it says, “This scene of yours is deliberate and maliciously intended to outrage religious feelings of Hindus/ Sanatanis and Hindu/ Sanatani beliefs by visual representation of Shiva’s Mantra in a disrespectful manner in the following video and this act is punishable under section 295-A and 298 of IPC 1860.”

The letter went on to say that Sahil Khan will have to record a video that conveys the meaning of the Mantra, as well as one apologising for releasing the video that offended the religious sensibilities of the Hindu/ Sanatani community, and that the video should be deleted immediately. If he fails to do one of the two prayers listed above, the Hindu/ Sanatani Community will be forced to pursue legal action against him.

Sahil Khan has been involved in a number of controversies in the past. Ayesha Shroff, the wife of Bollywood star Jackie Shroff, filed a case of cheating and fraud against Sahil Khan in November 2014. In October of the same year, Sahil Khan was bashed in the gym by actress Sana Khan’s lover Ismail Khan, who claimed that Sahil had given false information about Sana to the press.

On social media, Sahil Khan presents himself as a wealthy influencer who enjoys his luxurious lifestyle always surrounded by girls. While in Dubai and other places around the world, he continues to share images and videos on social media.
