A Mathura court has reserved its verdict in the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi – Shahi Idgah Mosque dispute case of Mathura. The case will now be decided on 19th May 2022. A petition has been filed in a Mathura court seeking ownership of 13.37 acres of land of Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi, which also sought removal of the Shahi Idgah Mosque built in Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi.
Advocate Ranjana Agnihotri and six others had first filed a claim in the case in the court of a civil judge last year. The Sunni Central Waqf Board, Shahi Idgah Mosque, Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi Trust, and Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi Seva Sansthan have been made respondents in the case. The petition has sought the release of 13.37 acres of land of Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi and the removal of the Shahi Idgah Mosque.
The petitioners had requested the court to demolish the Idgah built on the trust’s land declaring it as illegal and hand over the entire land to the de-facto owner, Lord Shri Krishna Virajman. The petition also sought excavation of the disputed site under the supervision of the court. The petitioners said that an inquiry report of the excavation should be submitted.
Not only this but it has also been claimed that the jail of Maharaja Kans of Mathura, where Lord Shri Krishna was born, exists at the place where the mosque was built. The petitioners claimed that if the excavation is done, it will be proved. It is notable that many more petitions have also been filed in different courts on the same dispute.
A petition has been filed in the Supreme Court challenging the transfer of Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi’s land to the mosque through an agreement. The petition said that the property of Krishna Janmabhoomi Trust was given, by cheating the Hindus, to the Shahi Idgah by unauthorisedly compromising without any legal right, which is wrong. The plea said the court should declare that the agreement entered into by the Shri Krishna Janam Seva Sansthan with the Shahi Idgah on August 12, 1968, was signed without jurisdiction.
A Mathura court had imposed a fine on the petitioners for seeking adjournment of the hearing in the case of ‘Thakur Keshav Dev Maharaj vs Shahi Masjid Idgah Sammaniya Committee’. Sanjay Gaur, the assistant district public prosecutor for the civil judge (senior division), had said that civil judge (senior division) Jyoti Singh had imposed a fine of 250 rupees on the petitioners seeking a stay.
The petition had said that the Shahi Idgah was built on 13.37 acres of land belonging to Thakur Keshav Dev Maharaj Katra and the agreement between Shri Krishna Janmasthan Seva Sansthan and Shahi Idgah Management Committee was completely wrong as the Sri Krishna Janmasthan Seva Sansthan was not the owner of the said property. Therefore, it has no statutory right to make any such agreement with anyone.
On May 5, a magisterial court in Gujarat convicted independent MLA Jignesh Mevani and nine others and sent them to 3-months of imprisonment. The court convicted Mevani for a 5-year-old case for holding an ‘Azadi’ march without permission.
NCP functionary Reshma Patel and members of Rashtriya Dalit Adhikar Manch (Mevani’s org) were found guilty by the court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate JA Parmar. They were sentenced under Section 143 of the Indian Penal Code. Apart from the jail time, all the convicts have been imposed a fine of Rs 1,000 each.
In July 2017, Mevani organized an ‘Azadi March’ from Mehsana to Dhanera in Banaskantha district without taking due permission. The Mehsana ‘A’ division police had filed an FIR against him and others under Section 143 of the IPC. One of the accused had died, and one is still absconding out of the 12 who were named accused in the FIR.
Congress leader Kanhaiya Kumar was also one of the accused. However, he was not present at the time of framing charges. The court had ordered a separate trial for him.
Notably, Mevani had recently come out of Assam jail after spending a few days under police custody. He was remanded for five days for allegedly assaulting Assam Police personnel. He was arrested first for a tweet against PM Modi, and when he got bail for that case, Assam Police arrested him again for assaulting Assam Police Personnel.
Mevani was arrested by Assam Police from Banaskantha on April 21. After spending nearly 2 weeks in Assam jail, he had arrived in Ahmedabad only on Tuesday, 3 May.
The law about convicted political leaders
As per the Section 8 (3) of the Representation of People Act, 1951, “A person convicted of any offence and sentenced to imprisonment for not less than two years [other than any offence referred to in the Act shall be disqualified from the date of such conviction and shall continue to be disqualified for a further period of six years since his release.” As Mevani got sentenced to only for three months, no such restrictions will be imposed on him.
On May 5, filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri debunked the Islamophiba bogey raised by liberal Indian media. During a press conference on the film, Agnihotri said since the movie was released, the liberal Indian media has been linking it with Islamophobia.
While suggesting he wanted to openly talk about the movie being called Islamophobic, he said, “The concern is actually terrorism. The film does not use the word Muslim. The film does not use the word Pakistan or Pakistani.” He further questioned why his film was not called terrorphobic as it only talked against terrorism.
Agnihotri questioned that the films like Fiza etc., were based on terrorism, but they were never called Islamophobic. He said, “That means if there is an unwritten law that if you justify terrorist, you are the messiah of humanity, but if you talk against terrorism, you are Islamophobic.”
He added that the first scene of the film shows brotherhood between Hindus and Muslims. “A Hindu boy Shiva is being beaten up by bad people. Abdul came and saved his life. After that, Pushkar Nath saved the life of Abdul. In fact, the most important producer of the film is a Muslim. Is he Islamophobic?” he added.
Vivek Agnihotri’s Press Conference was cancelled twice
Recently, Agnihotri took to Twitter to share how his scheduled press conference was cancelled by the Foreign Correspondent’s Club as some of the members had threatened the club’s administration to mass resign if the PC took place. He later shifted the PC to Press Club of India, which too refused to accept the booking after saying that the slot was unavailable. Later, Agnihotri shifted the PC to a hotel for May 5.
A Hindu family protested by walking on knees in front of the Tamil Nadu secretariat recently over inaction by the authorities to recover their property encroached by a Christian pastor.
According to reports, Gothandaraman, a native of Selayur in Chennai, had given his 8,063 sq. ft property on Strahan’s Road in Otteri to a pastor named John Venkateshan. Gothandraman had rented out the property to the pastor in 1980, who built a prayer house. The property, which lies in a prime location, is valued at around Rs 12 crore at the present rate.
However, the pastor has gradually encroached on the property and is trying to usurp it, Gothandaraman’s family alleged.
Over the years, the Hindu family has been trying to recover the property. After failing to get it back, they wrote to Chief Minister’s special cell and Chennai Police Commissioner to help them recover the property. However, with no action being taken against the pastor, the family took out a protest by walking on their knees outside the secretariat on April 29.
The Hindu family members have alleged that the local police have colluded with the pastor and filed cases against them. They have now requested a CBCID inquiry.
On Wednesday, the Delhi High Court sent fresh notices to filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri, scientist and political commentator Anand Ranganathan and Swarajya Magazine in a 2018 Contempt-of-Court case. In October 2018, The Delhi High Court initiated contempt proceedings against Economist S Gurumurthy over his article on Justice S Muralidhar, where he had questioned S Muralidhar’s credibility as the High Court judge in connection with granting bail to Gautam Navlakha, one of the accused in the Koregaon Bhima violence case. Agnihotri and Ranganathan, who had tweeted about the issue on similar lines, were slapped with the charges of contempt later.
Just In: Delhi HC issues fresh notices against @vivekagnihotri, @ARanganathan72, @SwarajyaMag, others in suo motu criminal contempt petition relating to article alleging “bias” of Justice S Muralidhar for setting aside transit remand order against UAPA accused Gautam Navlakha.
It all started when Senior Advocate Rajshekhar Rao wrote a letter to then Chief Justice Rajendra Menon,about an article written by S Gurumurthy alleging bias on the part of Justice Muralidhar for granting bail to Urban Naxal Gautam Navlakha in the Bhima Koregoan case. Gurumurthy had penned the article “Why has Delhi High Court Justice Muralidhar’s relationship with Gautam Navlakha not been disclosed?” on Desh Kapur’s blog ‘Dhristikone’. The article was retweeted by Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri in a tweet, following which a contempt of court notice was sent to him as well.

Anand Ranganathan, who is a free speech absolutist, allegedly condemned this action by the High Court in a couple of Tweets. It turned out that certain tweets of his were withheld in India with the message “This tweet from @ARanganathan72 has been withheld in India in response to a legal demand.” The two tweets were withheld evidently in response to legal demand which was criticising the contempt of court notices that were earlier served to S Gurumurthy and Vivek Agnihotri. It was later known that the same charges had been levied against Dr Ranganathan as well.
As per HC order Desh Kapur has withdrawn the offending article & tendered unconditional apology to Court. Since I do not follow him I would not know whether he has tweeted his apology. Even if he does it, unless mentions my handle, I will be able to retweet it as directed by HC
However, Gurumurthy was dropped as a respondent in the matter after he offered to retweet an unconditional apology tendered by the blog host Kapoor on his Twitter handle. He informed the same on October 15, 2019, saying, “As per HC order Desh Kapur has withdrawn the offending article & tendered an unconditional apology to Court. Since I do not follow him I would not know whether he has tweeted his apology. Even if he does it, unless mentions my handle, I will be able to retweet it as directed by HC.”
Nevertheless, the proceedings against Agnihotri, Ranganathan and several others continued in the case. Now afresh, a Division Bench of Justices Siddharth Mridul and Rajnish Bhatnagar noted that no one had appeared for the Agnihotri, Ranganathan and Swarajya in the last few hearings pertaining to the case. Therefore, the bench decided that adverse orders be deferred against the three in the interest of justice.
On Wednesday, Advocate Arvind Nigam with the help of an Amicus Curiae (advisory to the court) informed that while no one lawyer has appeared for many of the respondents in the last several hearings, there are still people who have not even been served the notice. Hence, the Court issued fresh notices to Vivek Agnihotri, Anand Ranganathan and the Swarajya Magazine and several others through a counsel which had earlier represented them as well as through email. The matter has been listed for further hearing on September 19.
Anand Ranganathan says he has done nothing wrong
Reacting to the notice issued by the Delhi High Court, Anand Ranganathan has issued a statement saying that he will not apologise, as he has not done anything wrong. He said that he had not commented on the merit of the case of the bail granted to Gautam Navlakha, but he had only said that it was wrong to file case against S Gurumurthy and Vivek Agnihotri for criticising the judge. He said that he stood with them not only because he is a free-speech absolutist but also because he fundamentally opposes the contempt of court charge.
My statement on being issued a notice by the Delhi High Court in the suo motu criminal contempt case regarding relief provided by the hon'ble judge to UAPA-accused Gautam Navlakha.
Ranganathan said that he has never received any notice or summon in the case that has gone on for 4 years, and reiterated that he will not apologise and will continue to oppose contempt of court charge.
The alleged comedian Kunal Kamra has refused to back down over the morphed video that he had published of the 7-year-old boy who sang a song for Prime Minister Narendra Modi even after the child’s father had tweeted to Kamra and called him out for using a child for his ‘filthy politics’.
In a recent Tweet, Kamra used laughing emojis and said, “Sanghis worried about mental health. Are 7-year-olds from school allowed on Twitter to see memes? In college, they’d probably make fun of him for singing to the PM, which can lead to depression.”
Sanghis worried about mental health ???
Are 7 year olds from school allowed on Twitter so see memes?
In college they’d probably make fun of him for singing to the PM which can lead to depression… https://t.co/rxUea0zb7x
Earlier, after Kamra posted the morphed video, the father of the child Ganesh Pol had lashed out at him for ridiculing his son on the social media platform. Responding to Kamra’s vile tweet targeting the young boy, Ganesh Pol – the father of the boy, slammed the alleged ‘comedian’ for his insensitivity and schooled him for using a young boy to further his politics. The father of the seven-year-old boy said that his son wanted to sing the song for his beloved Motherland and added that though he was still young, he loved the country more than Kamra did.
“He is my 7 year old son, who wanted to sing this song for his beloved Motherland. Though he is still very young certainly he loves his country more than you Mr Kamra or Kachra whatever u are Keep the poor boy out of your filthy politics & try to work on your poor jokes,” Ganesh Pol said.
After his tweet, Kamra said the video was in the public domain and tried to present it as if he had done nothing wrong.
The video is in the public domain by a news Organisation.
The joke is not on your son, while you enjoy your son sing for his motherland to the most popular son, there are songs that he should listen to from people of his country also ✌?✌?✌? https://t.co/aKnVk9lDSR
He said, “The video is in the public domain by a news Organisation. The joke is not on your son, while you enjoy your son sing for his Motherland to the most popular son, there are songs that he should listen to from people of his country also.”
In another tweet, he blamed the father for pushing the young child to sing in front of the PM and blamed PM Modi for putting him in the public domain.
The father is guiding the child towards demo singing to PM while everyone has cameras rolling & footage shared on social media, PM got the kid in public domain not me. I just made the child sing a song the PM much rather hear… https://t.co/XgNe1GZbhe
Four suspected Khalistani terrorists were apprehended from Karnal in Haryana on 5th May 2022. It is suspected that they were planning for a major attack. A large cache of weapons was recovered from the terrorists. Further investigations have already started in this case.
Karnal police have arrested four suspected Khalistani terrorists from the Madhuban police station area. The arrested terrorists have been identified as Gurpreet, Sandeep, Parminder, and Bhupender. Three of them are from Ferozepur and one is from Ludhiana. Security personnel said a weapon consignment was delivered to them via drones.
On credible intelligence input, 4 terror suspects incl 3 belonging to Ferozepur & 1 from Ludhiana detained near Bastara toll plaza. Explosives were recovered from them along with other arms & ammunition. Accused identified as Gurpreet, Amandeep Parminder and Bhupinder: SP Karnal pic.twitter.com/Jfv5TYQGDL
Based on credible information, four police teams intercepted an Innova car of Delhi number near Bastada toll on Delhi-Chandigarh National Highway, following which they were able to nab the terrorists, as per reports. The police also recovered weapons and explosives from their possession. Three containers full of gunpowder, country-made pistols, 31 live cartridges, and ₹130,000 have been recovered from their possession. The terrorists were on their way from Punjab to Delhi in an Innova car.
The Karnal SP is constantly investigating the case. The case has been registered by the police under various sections at Madhuban police station in Karnal and the investigation has been handed over to Indri SP Himadri Kaushik. Teams of Chandigarh and Karnal Intelligence Bureau are also interrogating the terrorists.
According to Karnal SP Gangaram Poonia, the terrorist Harjinder Singh, who is living in Pakistan, had instructed the arrested terrorists to deliver the container and other items to a location in the Adilabad district of Telangana. These location has also been found in the phones of these terrorists. Of the arrested terrorists, Gurpreet is believed to be the most prominent because he had constant communication with Harjinder Singh Rinda, the terrorist sitting in Pakistan.
Gurpreet, while in jail, had come in contact with another criminal named Rajveer, who was already associated with Harjinder. Rajveer got Gurpreet in touch with Harjinder, after which Gurpreet started working for Harjinder. It is being reported that earlier, assignments have been given to these terrorists on behalf of Harjinder Singh. They had also come to Nanded Sahib in Maharashtra for supplying weapons.
Who is Harjinder Singh?
According to a report by India today, Harjinder Singh is from the Tarn Taran district of Punjab. When he was 11, he shifted to Nanded Sahib in Maharashtra with his family. As per police records, Harjinder, at the age of 18, had killed one of his relatives in Tarn Taran over a family dispute.
When in Nanded, he started extorting money from local traders and killed at least two people. He is currently hiding in Pakistan and wanted by Chandigarh police in at least four criminal cases, including murder, attempt to murder, extortion, and under the Arms Act. These cases were registered between 2016 and 2018. He is also booked in many cases in Maharashtra and Punjab. The 35-year-old Rinda is reportedly an ISI stooge and is a key suspect of carrying out a terror attack at the Nawanshahr Crime Investigating Agency (CIA) building on 8th November 2021.
On Wednesday, Shiv Sena spokesperson Shital Mhatre and National Congress Party (NCP) spokesperson Nilesh Bhosle refused to recite Hanuman Chalisa on national television after being challenged by a Muslim BJP spokesperson. “Hanuman Chalisa should be recited at home. Hindu dharma should be followed at home”, said the duo while in a ‘loudspeaker debate’ with News24.
The saga began when Shiv Sena’s spokesperson having nothing to say on the topic, challenged Shehzad Poonawalla to recite Hanuman Chalisa on national television. NCP spokesperson Nilesh Bhosle also joined Mhatre in targeting the Muslim BJP spokesperson. “Do you even know what Hanuman Chalisa is? I’ll appreciate it if the BJP spokesperson recites at least two lines of Hanuman Chalisa”, said Mhatre on May 4.
Within no time BJP Spokesperson recited 4 lines of Hanuman Chalisa and cross-challenged Mhatre and Bhosle to complete the rest Hindu religious verses without searching them over the internet. “These people have been ‘requesting’ me to recite the religious verse. So I did. Now I want these two, Mhatre and Bhosle to complete the rest of Hanuman Chalisa without taking the help of Google. I apologize publicly for reciting a little bit of the religious verse. It is sin to leave the recitation in between but I now want Shiv Sena and NCP to recite the next four lines of the Hanuman Chalisa each”, Poonawalla stated.
Later the red-faced spokespersons of Shiv Sena and NCP clearly refused to recite the Hindu religious verse and said that ‘dharma must be followed at home’. “Hanuman Chalisa is Dharma for us. What do you think somebody will challenge us and we’ll recite Hanuman Chalisa? No. We believe that religion, dharma must be practised at home and not in the public”, said Mhatre. Bhosle added that Hanuman Chalisa should not also be recited in front of the Masjids.
Poonawalla slammed the duo for allegedly pretending to be followers of Hindu Dharma. He first mocked them saying that they challenged a Muslim to recite and he did, but now Shiv Sena spokesperson was not able to recite the Hanuman Chalisa. After that, he said that the ruling political party in the state of Maharashtra appeases Muslims by allowing them to read Namaz on roads. “You allow Muslims to offer Namaz in public for votes. Why can’t a Hindu recite Hanuman Chalisa in public? Do you tell Muslims to follow their religion at home, then why only Hindus must be barred from reciting Hanuman Chalisa on loudspeakers”, he pondered.
He reminded the panel that the debate was not about reciting Hanuman Chalisa but it was about the removal of loudspeakers from atop the Masjids and other religious places. Meanwhile, Maharashtra leader Devendra Fadnavis appreciated BJP Spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla for exposing the Shiv Sena and the National Congress Party. My night is made! When your role model and idol and Maharashtra’s true son Devendra Fadnavis Ji calls you and says he saw the viral News24 Hanuman Chalisa clip and loved how Shiv Sena and NCP spokespersons were exposed. Thank you, Sir. Maharashtra needs you asap”, Poonawalla said on Twitter.
My night is made !
When your role model & idol & Maharashtra’s true son @Dev_Fadnavis ji calls you and says he saw the viral News24 Hanuman Chalisa clip & loved it how Shiv Sena & NCP spokespersons were exposed
Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray on Sunday called the loudspeakers a nuisance and said that he would not allow loudspeakers in religious places from May 4 onwards. He also said that if the loudspeakers were not taken down by May 4, then his party workers would play Hanuman Chalisa outside the mosques.
“I won’t be responsible for what happens after the May 4 deadline to remove the loudspeakers from the mosques,” he had said, adding, “loudspeakers is a social issue, but if it is being made a religious one, then we shall give a reply in the same manner. Eid will be celebrated on May 3. We don’t want to vitiate the atmosphere. But from May 4, we’ll not listen to anyone. Loudspeakers have no place in religion. If they (Muslims) don’t understand nicely, we will show them the power of Maharashtra.”
Pertinently, the MNS workers yesterday recited Hanuman Chalisa on loudspeakers during the morning azaan in Mumbai’s Charkop area. The party workers also played Hanuman Chalisa in Nashik, Pune and other parts of Maharashtra. The state police who was on alert since Thackeray’s rally in Aurangabad detained many of the MNS party workers for performing Maha Aartis and reciting Hanuman Chalisa on loudspeakers.
The Police booked Thackeray and the organisers of the Aurangabad rally for inciting the public. The Mumbai Police also has served a notice to Thackeray under CrPC section 149 related to preventing cognizable offences. While MNS leaders have threatened to hit the streets in case of further action against their party head, the security at Thackeray’s residence in Mumbai has been doubled.
On May 5, netizens expressed their amusement over a now-deleted post by an Instagram handle, Inquilaab_India, where the owner of the account claims that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s daughter has refused Microsoft’s job offer worth $6 Billion. Instead, she would donate the entire package to the starving children of Syria.
The screenshot of the post went viral on social media. Twitter user Shiv Mishra said, “$6 Billion Ka package. “Kaun hain ye log? Kahan se aate hain ye log?” ($6 Billion worth salary package? Who are these people? Where do they come from?)
Columnist Saket said, “Microsoft gave a six billion package to her. She rejected the offer. Still they paid her the package upfront. She donated the package she got for the job she didn’t take to Syrian children because there’s no use of that kind of money for already prosperous India.”

Another Twitter user Debashis Tripathy pointed out that the Microsoft CEO gets an annual base pay of just 2.5 million, his total pay earned last year was just short of 50 million dollars and all this information is in the public domain.
The CEO of Microsoft has an annual base salary of $2.5 Million & his total compensation in last FY was just shy of $50 M. This info is in public domain. Totally believable that they offered a fresher $6 Billion! ?
Notably, when OpIndia tried to trace the post, we could not find it. Hence, it is unclear if the post was actually made by the account or not. However, when we were scrolling through the account, we noticed that there were a lot of fake news and hate-filled posts on that account. Here is what we found on Inquilaab_India.
Targeting Hindus for violence on Ram Navami and Hanuman Jayanti
On April 23, the handle published a post with the caption “This Ramadan has the worst of memories for Indian Muslims”, followed by a ‘broken heart’ emoji. The post had photographs of some Muslims whose encroachments were demolished after the riots. The images were from different states.
Source: Instagram
Interestingly, there was no mention of the Hindu victims anywhere on the account. Neither does it talk about victims like Shivam, who was brutally attacked in Khargone by a Muslim mob, nor does it mention that the encroachments that were removed in Jahangirpuri belonged to some Hindus as well. The misleading post suggested as if Muslims were specifically targeted during the Islamic festival month of Ramadan, but it did not mention that the Muslims in several locations pelted stones, threw pieces of meat and fired shots at Hindu devotees who were taking out Shobha Yatra on Ram Navami and Hanuman Jayanti.
The curious case of Wasim Sheikh
In a post from April 20, the account shared a post with the caption ‘Naya Bharat’. In the post, a man was seen hoisting a saffron flag on a mosque on the left and on the right, it showed a photograph of Wasim Sheikh, a physically disabled man from Khargone who had alleged that his shop was demolished, saying he was involved in stone-pelting.
Source: Instagram
Inquilaab_India did not mention the truth behind the stories. The image on the left was an old image from Bihar, and the government has already taken action in the matter. The culprits were arrested by the Police. On the right, the story of Wasim Sheikh is no less than a high-voltage drama. In a statement, Sheikh had said his shop was demolished during action against stone-pelters. As he is a physically challenged man, there was no way he could be involved in pelting stones. His statement was widely shared on social media platforms.
However, the next day he did a u-turn and issued a statement that his house or shop was not demolished by the administration. The next day he again took a u-turn and, without taking his name, blamed the administration. It is unclear what actually happened. It is unclear if his shop was legal or if it was an encroachment. However, the left-liberal media and accounts like Inquilaab_India decided to use his story to target Hindus and the BJP-led MP government.
UPSC chairperson targeted for association with RSS
In the next post, the Insta handle attacked Manoj Soni, chairperson of UPSC, on his appointment. In the caption, he wrote, “UPSC becomes ‘Union Pracharak Sangh Commission’ and attributed the statement to Rahul Gandhi.
Source: Instagram
Interestingly, the handle skipped the fact that Dr Manoj Soni is a highly qualified academician and has been associated with UPSC since 2017. Dr Soni was Vice-Chancellor of two universities and served for three terms. He is a published author and well-respected in his field.
BBC’s propaganda video against The Kashmir Files
Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri is on the target list of the left-liberal section of media and society, especially after the release and success of the film The Kashmir Files. Many media houses and influencers have propagated lies against the film and called it fake and inaccurate, and some, like Wikipedia, even called the whole exodus of Kashmiri Pandits ‘a conspiracy theory’.
Source: Instagram
Inquilaab India also used the opportunity and shared multiple fake reports about the film. They also shared the propaganda video by BBC where the media house had interviewed some Congress party members who happened to be Kashmiri Pandits. In the caption, the handle wrote, “The Kashmir Files propaganda busted by Kashmiri Pandits.”
BBC was exposed by netizen The Hawk Eye. In a report, OpIndia detailed how BBC did selective interviews to paint a bad picture of the film on the Kashmiri Pandit exodus. After the expose, BBC issued a clarification and claimed they did not talk to the people in the video based on their political preference. The media house failed to issue an apology for spreading misinformation.
The misinformation about Crypto
In another post from February 12, the handle shared the information that any income from Crypto would be taxed. They mentioned that cryptocurrencies had not been recognized as currency by the Indian government or RBI as currency, but they would be taxed anyway. In the caption, they wrote, “Imposing a tax on the currency without legalizing it.”
Source: Instagram
The post was full of misinformation. First of all, the Indian government has made it clear that cryptocurrency will never become a legal tender in India. It will be considered an asset that too after RBI formulates the regulations. Meanwhile, the profit from any crypto asset, including cryptocurrency and NFT, will be taxed at 30 per cent.
To make it clear, gold is not a legal tender in India. However, it is considered an asset. You cannot go and purchase anything with gold. First, you have to liquidate it. Any income from gold transactions is taxable. Similarly, real estate is an asset so are precious metals and other commodities. The income from these assets is taxable as per the law. Above all, gambling is also not legal in India, but income from gambling is taxable.
Another point that Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman recently talked about was the possible use of cryptocurrencies for terror funding and money laundering. The government has imposed a 1% tax at the source out of the 30% tax on the income from Crypto. FM said it would help in tracking the transactions and making sure that it was not being used to fund terror activities against India.
Lauded Congress for giving ticket to riot accused
On January 14, Inquilaab India congratulated the Congress party for giving a ticket to Sadaf Jafar, who is accused of anti-CAA riots.

Jafar, accused of involvement in the anti-CAA riots, was recently slapped with a recovery notice by the Uttar Pradesh government as per the new law based on the orders of the Supreme Court. Jafar had lost the state assembly elections that she fought on a Congress ticket.
Recently, a video went viral on social media in which a Maulana named Jarjis Ansari Hafizullah addressed a crowd and said that Muslim women should offer themselves to their husbands under all circumstances. Now another video has surfaced in which a Maulana is talking about 130-feet tall Hoors (Angels). A banner is also seen in the video on which Maulana’s name is written as Tariq Jamil.
While sharing this video, Navin Tripathi wrote, “Wallah! It is the craving for 72 such Hoors, each one of them being 130-feet tall, that these poor explode at any random place.”
In this video, Maulana says, “There is a canal is the Jannat (the paradise). It is called Bydak. It is covered by pearls. Inside, it is filled with Musk, Amber, and Saffron. When Allah commands to make a girl (Hoor) of Paradise, He enriches her with His Noor (beauty). The whole 130 feet girl comes out. Fully dressed. A Hoor of Jannat. Not that she is first in the uterus of a mother, gets birth after 9 months, takes the feeder, then rolls, stands up, walks, and then becomes an adult. No. She is for us.”
Further in this video, the Maulana explains in detail, the manufacturing process of this Hoor. He says, “If such a Hoor from Jannat, points the tip of one of her fingers to the sun, then the sun will disappear. Because the Hoor of Jannat is 130-feet tall, she will just lift some Syed Zahir up and put him in her pockets. This Syed Zahir will then say ‘Kem Chho, Kem Chho’ (meaning How are you in the Gujarati language). But then, she will say that ‘I don’t know Gujarati, speak in Arabic’.”
Describing more about the amenities in Jannat (the paradise), he said, “Allah will say that let my servants listen to the songs of the paradise. They will sing for you the songs of paradise. And the first song will last for seventy years. For seventy years you will not move from there. you will see that beautiful face for seventy years. Just imagine, a fingertip is so beautiful that the sun disappears. Then how beautiful their faces would be. Her long hair is so shiny that whenever she shakes her head, there is such a big light in the paradise as if searchlights are put on.”
After a little investigation, this video is found to be old. In many places on YouTube, this video is seen uploaded in 2020. It has gone viral several times before. The video on YouTube is about three minutes long. Tariq Jameel is a Pakistani Islamic cleric, and television preacher, who is also a member of Tablighi Jamaat. He belonghs to the Deobandi school of Islam and delivers sermons all across the world.
A few days ago, another old video had gone viral in which there is none other than Maulana Jarjis Ansari addressed the audience as a speaker. Earlier too, many of his controversial videos have gone viral. In the viral video, Maulana explains that even if a Muslim lady is pregnant and about to birth a child, under any circumstances, she should not deny her husband if he asks for sexual pleasures.
In the video, Maulana says, “O Muslim woman! If you don’t allow your husband to take advantage of your body (sexually), you are committing a grave sin.”
Explaining the commandment of the Prophet, he says, “That’s why the Prophet said – even if you are about to deliver a child and your husband wants to enjoy your body, and have sex at the time of delivery, then O Muslim woman, you will have to fulfill your husband’s wish.”
He further states that if the woman does not satisfy her husband, he might go to another woman in search of satisfaction. “Because you alone can control the fire of his lust. If you won’t, your husband will go to other women to satisfy himself,” he added.
