Indian Air Strikes at 3 key Pakistani airbases spooked Pakistan and forced them to seek US help, know why these 3 bases are of great strategic importance for Pakistan

In the early hours of 10th May, the Indian Air Force (IAF) launched precision strikes on 11 airbases in Pakistan, including three critical Pakistani airbases, that are Jacobabad, Chaklala (Rawalpindi), and Sargodha under Operation Sindoor. The attack sent shockwaves within the military command of Pakistan.

Notably, these three airbases play a critical role in the operation, maintenance, and deployment of F-16 jets that have been supplied to Pakistan by the United States. Furthermore, these locations also house essential infrastructure, including training facilities and ammunition stockpiles.

The strike at Chaklala was of particular significance, as it not only serves as a transport hub but also hosts Pakistan’s air-refuelling assets, which help extend the range of fighter jets. The base is home to Pakistan’s main transport squadrons and vital for logistical and strategic airlift operations, housing aircraft like C-130 Hercules and IL-78 mid-air refuelers.

Major damage to these airbases can paralyze Pakistan Air Force, and make a number of their key assets useless. Chaklala is also in close proximity to the Strategic Plans Division of Pakistan, which oversees the country’s nuclear arsenal. The attack, thus, spooked Islamabad and prompted it to seek intervention from the US.

General Munir turns to Washington for help

Officials described the attack as the largest Indian military strike since 1971. Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir rushed to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, requesting American intervention to de-escalate the spiralling tensions with India.

At Pakistan’s request, Rubio urged both nations to initiate dialogue and spoke to the External Affairs Minister, Dr S. Jaishankar, on the matter. The US also offered to mediate and help reduce further conflict between India and its hostile neighbour.

Soon after, Pakistan’s Director General of Military Operations, Maj Gen Kashif Abdullah, called his Indian counterpart, Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai, and proposed a pause in hostilities. Indian officials saw this as a direct outcome of the successful neutralisation of Pakistan’s air defences and infrastructure.

Air superiority altered regional military balance

India targeted a total of 11 Pakistani airbases and two radar sites. Such a massive attack, in such a short span, created a “new normal” in military parity. Pakistan’s inability to respond stemmed from its collapsed air defence systems and outdated military preparedness compared to the advanced capabilities of the Indian Armed Forces.

India’s strikes also highlighted the widening technological gap between the two nations. Indian officials stated that Pakistan’s admission of inferiority led to its desperate appeal for help from the US. India’s military power projection on 10th May has redrawn strategic calculations in the Indian subcontinent.

Though US President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed that his intervention led to the ceasefire between India and Pakistan, India has categorically denied the role of any third party in the decision to de-escalate. Trump also claimed he used trade as a “weapon” to push both countries to agree to ceasefire, which India denied as well. Furthermore, Indian Armed Forces and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh have clearly stated that the arrangement should not be seen as a ceasefire, but as an understanding. India will continue to assess how Pakistan behaves in the coming days and will act accordingly. Operation Sindoor, according to India, continues.

India pushes for UN action against TRF

While Pakistan is struggling to cover up the damage caused by India, New Delhi has intensified its diplomatic campaign to seek terror designation for The Resistance Front (TRF), an offshoot of Lashkar-e-Taiba, at the UN Security Council. TRF had claimed responsibility for the 22nd April Pahalgam terrorist attack. A dossier implicating Pakistan’s role in the incident has been submitted, though Islamabad, with China’s backing, continues shielding TRF at the UNSC.

Uttar Pradesh: 90 Bangladeshi nationals held in Mathura, probe underway

0

In a significant operation, police in Uttar Pradesh’s Mathura district detained 90 Bangladeshi nationals from Khajpur village under the jurisdiction of Police Station Nauhjheel, said officials.

According to Shlok Kumar, the senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), the inspection was part of a drive to verify the identity and legality of labourers working in the rural part of the district.

“During the checking of kilns in Khajpur village by the team of PS Nauhjheel, about 90 people were found to be citizens of Bangladesh. All of them have been taken into custody and are being questioned. There are 35 men, 27 women and 28 children,” SSP Kumar told ANI on Friday.

He added, “They said they reached Mathura 3-4 months ago; before that, they were living in a nearby state. Detailed interrogation is being done. Other agencies have also been informed about this. They are also questioning them.”

Earlier, the Uttar Pradesh government had launched an intensified drive to track down and deport Bangladeshi and Rohingya infiltrators residing in the state.

The officials said that action had already been taken against Pakistani nationals residing illegally, and now a similar focus is being directed towards Bangladeshi and Rohingya migrants.

Authorities have observed many of these individuals live under changed identities in several state districts.

Instructions have been dispatched to District Magistrates, Senior Superintendents of Police (SSPs), and Police Commissioners across all districts to expedite the identification process.

Simultaneously, operations are underway against unauthorised and illegal structures along the India-Nepal border.

According to a CMO statement, Uttar Pradesh had become the first state in the country where 100 per cent of Pakistani citizens had been sent back. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath himself oversees the return of Pakistani citizens to their country.

Notably, similar actions have been underway in several states nationwide in the past couple of days.

Archaeological Survey of India completes the restoration of 16th century stepwell Rajon ki Baoli in Delhi’s Mehrauli, monument now open for public

In a significant step toward protecting India’s cultural and environmental heritage, the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), in collaboration with the World Monuments Fund India (WMFI) and the TCS Foundation, has successfully completed the conservation work of Rajon ki Baoli, a 16th- century stepwell, located in Mehrauli Archaeological Park, New Delhi.

According to an official release from the Ministry of Culture, this project was a part of WMFI’s Historic Water Systems of India initiative, funded by the TCS Foundation, aligning with the World Monuments Fund’s Climate Heritage Initiative.

It highlights the importance of restoring traditional water systems as sustainable solutions for water management in the face of climate change.

Under ASI’s supervision, the restoration work included cleaning, desilting, structural repair, and water quality improvements, using traditional materials and techniques.

The baoli was cleaned, desilted, and connected to proper drainage systems. Fish were introduced to help maintain water quality. Traditional materials like lime plaster and mortar were used to preserve the original character of the structure. The restoration was guided by historical records to retain the site’s Lodi-era authenticity.

In addition to the restoration, the ASI and its partners engaged local communities to promote awareness of the Baoli’s cultural and ecological value. Educational programs and participatory conservation activities were designed to ensure the site’s long-term care.

Built around 1506 during the Lodi dynasty, Rajon ki Baoli stands as a testament to Lodhi-era architecture and traditional water engineering. This four-tiered stepwell was thoughtfully designed not only to store water but also to offer shade and rest to travellers.

Its elegant arched colonnades, ornate stucco medallions with floral and geometric patterns, and finely carved stone elements reflect the artistic sophistication of the time. Spanning across the area of 1,610 square meters, this Baoli descends to a depth of 13.4 meters, with the main tank measuring 23 by 10 meters at its base.

Rajon ki Baoli is now open to the public.

Ex-FBI Director James Comey faces backlash over deleted Instagram post of seashells arranged as “8647”, interpreted as coded call to assassinate Trump: All you need to know

A massive controversy has erupted in the United States after former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director James Comey dropped an Instagram post fuelling rumours of a coded call to assassinate President Donald Trump. Dismissed by Trump during in his first term as President, Comey had shared a photo showing seashells arranged to form the number “8647.”

The number raised concerns, as “86” is often used as slang for getting rid of something or ejecting someone, especially in restaurant and bar settings when referring to menu items. The number “47” is believed to reference Trump, who is the 47th president of the United States.

“Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” Comey had captioned the post.

Officials from the Trump administration, along with President Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., viewed Comey’s post as a threat to the president’s life. Donald Trump Jr. also criticised Comey, accusing him of calling for the assassination of his father, President Trump. Donald Trump Jr in a post on X said, “Just James Comey casually calling for my dad to be murdered. This is who the Dem-Media worships. Demented.”

Elon Musk replied to Trump Junior, “Advocating murder of the President is a serious crime”.

Following Comey’s social media post, FBI Director Kash Patel said the bureau is coordinating with the US Secret Service. Patel confirmed that the FBI will fully support the Secret Service’s investigation into the post allegedly targeting President Trump

Sharing a post on X, Patel said, “We are aware of the recent social media post by former FBI Director James Comey, directed at President Trump. We are in communication with the Secret Service and Director Curran. Primary jurisdiction is with SS on these matters and we, the FBI, will provide all necessary support.”

US Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem condemned Comey, accusing him of inciting violence against President Trump. Noem said the Department of Homeland Security and the Secret Service are actively investigating the matter and will take appropriate action.

In a post on X, Noem said, “Disgraced former FBI Director James Comey just called for the assassination of @POTUS Trump. DHS and Secret Service is investigating this threat and will respond appropriately.”

Amidst the backlash, Comey posted a statement on Instagram claiming that he was unaware that the “8647” code could be linked to violence. The former FBI Director said he shared a photo of seashells arranged in numbers, assuming it was a political message.

“I posted earlier a picture of some shells I saw today on a beach walk, which I assumed were a political message. I didn’t realise some folks associate those numbers with violence. It never occurred to me but I oppose violence of any kind so I took the post down,” Comey said in a statement, posted on Instagram.

Speaking to Fox News, the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard said that James Comey was fully aware of what he was posting. “As a former FBI Director and someone who spent most of his career prosecuting mobsters and gangsters, he knew exactly what he was doing and must be held accountable under the full force of the law,” Gabbard said.

It must also be noted that in American English, the number 86 refers to get to rid of someone or something. Its usage started in restaurants and bars, when it was used to indicate that an item of food or drink is no longer available, or that a customer should be rejected. After that, it started to be used to mean to ‘get rid of’ someone or something. In the Antifa (Anti-Fascist) lingo also, “86” is often referred to as eliminating or ejecting someone which may be interpreted as killing someone.

Interestingly, several American e-commerce platforms have started selling “8647” stickers and T-shirts, with product description “Anti-Trump, Anti-GOP, Pro-Democracy Sticker, Anti Fascist, FDT, Liberal Leftist Sticker, Anti Republican Sticker.”

Who is James Comey?

On the 4th of September 2013, James Comey was sworn in as the seventh Director of the FBI. He oversaw key investigations into Russia’s alleged interference in the 2016 US presidential election and Hillary Clinton’s email controversy, before he was fired by Trump in May 2017, shortly after Trump started his first administration. He served in the position for over three years. During his tenure, Comey was accused of Republicans and Democrats have heavily criticised the former FBI director for his investigations into Trump and Clinton and how he handled each in the public sphere. Neither investigation resulted in charges against the two politicians.

Assassination attempts against Donald Trump

What makes James Comey’s “8647” post even more alarming is that Donald Trump has in the recent past been at the target of many of his adversaries. On 13th  July 2024, the first assassination attempt on Donald Trump took place at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. One attendee at the rally died, and two were reportedly injured in the gunfire. Trump managed to escape the assassination attempt with a bullet injury to his right ear. Trump was saved by mere milimetres as he turned his head just before the gunshot was fired, moving his face slightly away from a direct hit. The assailant of the first attempt was identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks. He was killed by Secret Service agents during the attack.

The second assassination attempt against Trump took place in September 2024. On the 15th of September last year, gunshots were fired at Trump International Golf Club in Florida, when the former US President was holding an election rally. While Trump was reported safe, the FBI announced that its investigation revealed the gunfire appeared to be an attempted assassination on Trump. Later, the assailant was identified as a Democrat supporter Ryan Routh. Reportedly, he was seen aiming an AK-47 at Trump when Secret Service agents spotted him. The assailant was heavily armed at the time of the incident. Although 58-year-old Routh managed to escape, he was later caught by the security agencies.

Besides these unsuccessful assassination attempts, an Iranian plot to kill Trump was uncovered last year. In November 2024, the US Justice Department announced that it had foiled a plot by the Iranian Islamic regime to assassinate President-elect Donald Trump in the run-up to the election. The US authorities accused the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) of hiring a 51-year-old assassin named Farhad Shakeri to surveil and kill Donald Trump.

The repeated attempts to assassinate Trump, now James Comey’s “8647” post cannot be taken lightly given there has a significant surge anti-Trump sentiment in the recent past. Last month, the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI), a non-partisan organisation tracking online extremist hatred, reported that around 55 per cent of self-identified leftists believe that murdering President Donald Trump is at least somewhat justifiable. The report hinted at the rise and mainstreaming of “assassination culture” among the left-leaning lot. Among all respondents of the study, 38% found the assassination of Trump justifiable.

Pakistani actors keep batting even for Islamic terrorists, but Bollywood could not even stand with the Indian Army: What is the solution for these Bollywood degenerates

26 Hindus were killed in a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, on 22nd April 2025. Before killing them, their names were asked, their religions were confirmed, and even their clothes were removed to confirm their religion by Islamists. However, have you heard the voice of Bollywood’s ‘Takhti Gang’ against Islamic terror?

The horror of Pahalgam attacks was not limited to asking the victims about their religion. Men were shot dead in front of their families, it may never be possible for those women to recover from this shock. It is not possible for everyone to understand this feeling, but still, they can be comforted with sympathetic words, but most of the Bollywood celebrities did not feel the need for this.

Bollywood used to stand with India once upon a time

In the past, on such occasions, we always heard the voices of major Bollywood celebrities. During the Emergency, when attempts were made to suppress the voice of the media, Bollywood did not remain silent like it did during Operation Sindoor.

In 1948, when Pakistan attacked India in Kashmir, many stars like Mukesh, Raj Kapoor, IS Johar, Geeta Bali, Nargis, Kamini Kaushal, who were at the peak of their fame at that time, raised millions of rupees to strengthen India during the war.

After this, during the wars of 1962 and 1965, Kishore Kumar, Sunil Dutt, Nargis, Lata Mangeshkar, Waheeda Rehman etc. boosted the morale of the Indian soldiers and collected money for Armed Forces.

During the war of 1971, stars like Pran, Kishore Kumar, Shammi Kapoor, Lata Mangeshkar, Waheeda Rehman, Kalyanji-Anandji and Nargis formed the Bangladesh Relief Committee. During the Kargil war of 1999, there was such anger among the Bollywood stars that Nana Patekar even went to the front to support the soldiers.

Learn from the actors of the ‘Enemy Country’

Now, once again, we come back to our topic, Pahalgam terror attack and the silence of Bollywood.

The entire ‘Khan Army’, ‘Kapoor family’, ‘Bhatt camp’, and other big names kept a distance from this conflict and just kept on minding their own business. Let us remind you that these are the same big names who had taken photos with placards during the Kathua case. At that time, they were ashamed of being Hindus.

On the one hand, Bollywood actors did not get enough time to write even two lines for the country, on the other hand, when India took action in response, most of the big names of Pakistan were seen standing in favor of their country.

Many of those Pakistan actors have also worked in many films in Bollywood. Pakistani actress Mawra Hocane, who got fame through ‘Sanam Teri Kasam’, awarded India the title of ‘coward’. Many names like Fawad Khan, Hania Aamir, Mahira Khan are among the Pakistan actors who spoke in favour of their country during Operation Sindoor. The interesting thing is that they have a large number of fans in India as well.

Fake patriotism of Bollywood

Indian actors often wake up to patriotism when their film is about to release or they have some personal interest attached to it. The latest example is Aamir Khan, whose film ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ is about to release in the theatres. Aamir maintained silence during the entire duration from the Pahalgam attack to ‘Operation Sindoor’. However, just days before his film’s release, his team started singing praises of India.

Similarly, Tushar Kapoor, during the promotion of his project ‘Kampi’, avoided a question on the boycott of Turkey, a country that supports Pakistan. However, he did not forget to say that he is with the ‘country’.

Some people are in favour of the country without even saying a word

However, apart from these actors, there are some people in Bollywood who do not hesitate to support the country and they don’t even have to say anything. Mawra, who wrote against India, was removed by the makers from the film ‘Sanam Teri Kasam-2’. Mawra wasn’t even given a single rupee as payment.

Apart from this, Spotify app photoshopped out Fawad Khan from the poster of the song ‘Buddhu Sa Mann’ from the film ‘Kapoor and Sons’. Similarly, Pakistani actress Mahira Khan has been removed from the poster of her film ‘Raees’.

Conclusion

Actors in Bollywood have joined the trend to make fun of Hindus. Mocking their symbols, questioning their beliefs, has become their favorite hobby.

However, whenever there is talk of Muslims, the entire Bollywood starts behaving like a ‘victim’. Be it making movies or their personal lives, their hypocrisy comes out and they try every possible way to insult Hindus and show the pride of the Muslim community.

With time, common people have also started understanding that these names who get fame and love of fans think about only their own bank balance. Apart from this, whether it is the people around them, their society or the country, these people do not care.

Due to this, now with the help of social media, people have started waking these actors up from their sleep by hashtagging boycott calls and trolling them. But we have seen on many occasions that this awareness of common people lasts only for a few days. Therefore, there is no significant impact on their business.

In such a situation, it is necessary that this silence of Bollywood should hurt us every time we see celebrity in these stars and entertainment in their movies.

SC calls petition on Rohingyas thrown into sea a ‘beautifully crafted story’: A reality check for activist fiction

On May 16, the Supreme Court of India, in a display of judicial clarity and institutional restraint, dismissed the sensational claims made in a writ petition alleging that 43 Rohingya refugees—women, children, cancer patients and all—were forcibly deported by being thrown into international waters by the Indian government. The apex court rightly refused to be baited by what Justice Surya Kant described as a “very beautifully crafted story” with “absolutely no material” to support its outlandish narrative.

The Supreme Court, raising eyebrows, noted a “serious dispute” over whether the Rohingyas could even be classified as refugees. It clubbed the petition with other ongoing cases on their deportation and scheduled a crucial hearing for July 31.

This case presents more than a legal footnote; it is a serious example of how public discourse, even in the courts, can be hijacked by what increasingly resemble activist-driven fictitious tales rather than fact-based legal advocacy. For the bench, comprising Justices Surya Kant and N Kotiswar Singh, the burden of proof was non-negotiable—a stance that reaffirms the judiciary’s responsibility to balance compassion with credibility.

Allegation or allegory?

The writ petition, filed by two Rohingya refugees in Delhi, claimed that Indian authorities, under the guise of biometric data collection, detained dozens of Rohingyas, flew them to Port Blair, blindfolded them, tied their hands, and abandoned them in the sea under false pretenses—supposedly after asking whether they preferred to be deported to Myanmar or Indonesia.

In essence, the petition implied that a democratic state started behaving like rogue nations, got its professional navy allegedly to tie up refugees, put them on a military vessel, and dumped them into the ocean, like pirates in a 17th-century novel. It is little surprise, then, that the Supreme Court openly hauled over the coals the petitioners and raised serious questions about the veracity of this “fanciful” account and asked them to present even a shred of verifiable evidence.

The petitioners, led by Senior Advocate Colin Gonsalves, leaned on anecdotal phone calls and unverifiable “tape recordings from Myanmar shores.” They invoked UN reports and international law, but when pressed, had no hard evidence or credible mechanism to connect these dramatic allegations to actual, documented events. As Justice Kant aptly asked: “Who is the person watching them? Who video-recorded? How did the petitioner come back?”

Supreme Court choose realism over gullibility

For years now, the Supreme Court is well-acquainted with petitions seeking to represent minorities and their rights. It is another subject that many activists have exploited legal avenues available to them to bilk project themselves as saviours of minorities.

India’s legal system is no stranger to hearing grievances from stateless populations or minorities under threat. The Chakma case in Arunachal Pradesh (NHRC v. State of Arunachal Pradesh) is one of many examples where the judiciary stepped in to protect non-citizens’ rights. But in that case, the relief was based on hard proof in the form of concrete governmental submissions and grounded claims—not activist rhetoric buttressed by unfounded allegations and media spin.

The court rightly noted that if the May 8 three-judge bench found no basis for interim relief, it would be judicial overreach to override that with no new substantial material presented. “Every day you come with one new story,” Justice Kant observed with frustration. “When the country is going through a difficult time, you come out with such fanciful ideas.”

And there lies the core issue: the attempt to inject volatile, vague allegations into the bloodstream of national discourse under the guise of human rights advocacy and get the court to sympathize with the illegal immigrants, overlooking their brazen undermining of the sovereign law. However, the Supreme Court recognized this for what it was—an effort to cast aspersions on the Indian state with no accountability for the fallout and came down hard against the petitioners.

The weaponisation of human rights

The principle of non-refoulement is a legitimate concern in any functioning democracy. India has, in practice, often honored it, despite not being a signatory to the 1951 Refugee Convention. However, this does not equate to granting carte blanche to every undocumented migrant or activist network seeking to convert international sympathy into domestic policy.

India houses over 8000 Rohingya refugees with UNHCR cards. But it is also a sovereign nation, entitled to enforce its immigration laws. Moreover, incidents like Pahalgam have painfully revealed the vulnerability of the country to external threats, including from unchecked migrations, which could pose a grave national security threat if not dealt with an iron fist. If individuals are deemed to be staying illegally—especially after due process—they are subject to deportation, not as punishment, but as the natural consequence of sovereign law.

To claim that every deportation is an act of genocide or a human rights atrocity is to trivialize actual atrocities.

Erosion of trust in constitutional institutions

The most disturbing aspect of this episode isn’t just the lack of evidence. It’s the increasing trend where activist narratives are presented as legal arguments, often using emotional appeals and international organizations as pressure tactics. Courts are expected to respond not to emotion, but to evidence. When a senior advocate says, “Please hear before they die,” without establishing any factual basis for the claim, it places the judiciary in an impossible position—pressured to act on unverified drama rather than legal merit.

It also begs the question: who benefits from peddling these narratives? Certainly not the Rohingya themselves, who are being used as pawns in a political and ideological contest between sovereignty and transnational activism.

The Supreme Court’s refusal to be swept away by this melodrama is a much-needed affirmation of judicial integrity. In times when headlines often carry more weight than hard facts, the Supreme Court’s stand on the matter exemplifies truth still matters. Human rights must be defended—but not at the cost of the truth, national security, or the dignity of legal process.

Activism has its place. But when it crosses into the realm of fiction, it ceases to be advocacy and becomes propaganda. The courts of India, thankfully, are yet not impaired to not know the difference.

Prophet Muhammad was guarding our missiles just like in 1965, 1971: Pakistan’s conspiracy theorist Zaid Hamid on India-Pakistan conflict

On 7th May, India initiated “Operation Sindoor” in response to the Pahalgam terror attack carried out by terrorists supported by Pakistan. Subsequently, the Islamic Repubic, feeling threatened, attempted to strike civilian areas and military facilities in border regions, particularly Jammu and Kashmir. Nevertheless, their malicious plans were foiled by India’s significantly advanced defense system which even led to the destruction of key air bases in retaliation.

A disgraced Pakistan, having endured a stinging defeat, resorted to fabricating narratives about inflicting damage on India. On the other hand, India presented ample evidence, including clear satellite imagery of their operations while Pakistan faced further global humiliation for its nonsensical claims and manipulation of information to assert victory.

The notorious Pakistani conspiracy theorist and a prominent advocate of the Ghazwa-e-Hind, Syed Zaid Zaman Hamid, has also made similar remarks regarding the recent conflict and a video of the same has now gained traction on social media.

“In the past, we heard tales of supernatural entities, including Islamic seers and clerics who supported Pakistan during the conflicts of 1965 and 1971. Notably, during the 1965 war, they came to Pakistan’s aid. In the recent minor dispute with India, numerous individuals from their regions reported witnessing Prophet Muhammad approaching Pakistan,” a visibly emotional Zaid Hamid stated.

Notably, the 1971 India-Pakistan war changed the political history of the world forever and resulted in the formation of a new country named Bangladesh. The 1965 conflict marked another unsuccessful attempt by Pakistan to capture Kashmir through infiltration, following a similar failed effort in 1947. In fact, an Indian Infantry unit reached the outskirts of Lahore before it was ordered to retreat, during the conflict.

“I received a message from a young man, and there is no reason for him to be untruthful. The revered prophet appears in dreams, which is a fact. He narrated his dream to me and disclosed that Prophet Muhammad was standing guard to protect Pakistan’s missiles. Hence, it is Ghazwa-e-Hind,” the self-proclaimed Afghan jihad veteran added with tears in his eyes.

Interestingly, during the pandemic, Zaid Hamid, insisted that a chemical in the vaccination created by Bill Gates would eradicate Islam from all Muslims. The world has been familiar with Corona for the past fifty years, he stated, referring to it as a common cold. He further argued that everyone on the planet had experienced coronavirus at some point and the hype was only because the billionaire had orchestrated a plan to enslave future generations globally for the benefit of America.

Popularly referred to as Lal Topi (due to his red cap), he gained public attention over 15 years ago when he asserted that Pakistan would reach the moon within five years and that the country would lead global affairs. Nevertheless, the nation has been descending into a catastrophic situation at a much faster rate, since his statement. He has regularly been the subject of mockery due to his ridiculous comments.

Rahul Gandhi announces ₹1 lakh compensation to the family of Abdul who was beaten to death after he tried to rape a tribal woman taking bath in a pond

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has announced ₹1 lakh compensation to the family of Abdul Kalam who was allegedly beaten to death after he sexually assaulted and attempted to rape a tribal woman while she was taking bath. The Hemant Soren-led Jharkhand government also promised to give ₹4 lakh, government job and a house to the kin of Abdul Kalam.

In addition to that, Siddiqui community promised to pay ₹51 thousand to Abdul’s family. Jharkhand Health Minister and Congress MLA Irfan Ansari also visited Abdul’s house to meet his mother Rehana Khatoon and assured her all possible assistance.

Abdul caught the victim, grabbed her breasts and tried to rape her

As per reports, the incident took place on 8th May, when 22-year-old Abdul Kalam, who was construction worker, visited Kadrukhutta village in the Penk Narayanpur Police Station area of Bokaro district for some work. Abdul sexually assaulted the wife of a local named Mahavir Murmu while she was taking bath in a pond. The FIR, accessed by OpIndia, states that Abdul caught her from behind and grabbed her breasts. He slammed her on the ground and tried to rape her. In the struggle to release herself from Abdul’s grip, the woman bit his hand and started screaming. Hearing her cries, villagers arrived on the spot and nabbed Abdul who was trying to flee. It is alleged that villagers tied him to a pole and started beating him. Thereafter, the police was called and the villagers handed him over to the police.

Jharkhand government announces monetary compensation, a house and a government job for Abdul’s family

The FIR filed by Abdul’s uncle reportedly states that Abdul sustained injuries after villagers beat him up. The police took him to Bakaro Thermal Hospital where he was declared dead. Abdul’s uncle claimed that he was suffering from a mental illness and was undergoing treatment. His uncle said that Abdul was not a criminal and that if he did something wrong he should have been tried as per law. The police have filed a case and arrested Rupan Manjhi, Baharam Manjhi, Sukhlal Manjhi and Baleshwar Hansda in connection with the case.

Bermo SDM Mukesh Machhua said that the state government has promised to grant ₹4 lakh, government job and a house to Abdul’s family. However, Abdul’s family have reportly declined to accept the compensation and have demanded justice.

The incident is getting mixed reactions on social media. While some people called out the Rahul Gandhi and the Jharkhand government for wasting the taxpayers’ money on granting compensation to a rape accused, others declared Abdul Kalam as innocent and a victim of mob lynching.

One X user lashed out at theCongress and the Jharkhand government for providing compensation to a rape accused.

On the other hand, another X user empathised with the rape accused and declared him innocent.

An X user ignored the allegation on Abdul and claimed that Abdul was killed because of his religious identity.

The police are investigating the case.

Bengal: Teenager Sudipta Pandit killed by Sheikh Farhad for picking fallen mangoes from his orchard, angry villagers burn down mango warehouse of the accused

In another brutal murder in West Bengal, a Hindu teenager was lynched by one Sheikh Farhad Mandal for picking some mangos from Farhad’s orchard. Angry locals later set the mango warehouse of Farhad on fire, while the accused have been arrested by police. The incident took place in Shibdaspur, Naihati, in North 24 Parganas district.

As per reports, 17-year-old Sudipta Pandit was a resident of Basanti Tala in Kanchrapara, and he had gone to his uncle’s house in Shibdaspur, Naihati to attend a family function. He along with some of his friends were returning home on Thursday night. While passing by a mango orchard, they saw some mangoes lying on the ground.

Unable to resist the urge to pick some mangoes, Sudipta went to pick some of the fruits from the ground. However, unfortunately for him, the orchard’s owner Sheikh Farhad Mandal was present at the spot, and he saw Sudipta picking the mangoes. He caught the minor boy and started to beat him brutally. Seeing this, Sudipta’s friends got scared and they fled.

When they informed the villagers and returned to the spot, Sudipta was found lying unconscious near the mango orchard. He was immediately taken to a hospital in Naihati, but it was too late, as doctors said that he had already died. It is alleged that after beating Sudipta, Farhad strangled him to death.

The incident led to tension in the area since Thursday evening. On Friday morning, the enraged villagers gathered at Farhad’s mango warehouse, and set it on fire. They also blocked the Kalyani Expressway and started a protest.

On receiving the information, the police from Shibdaspur police station reached the spot, and arrested Farhad. A large police force has been deployed in the area to ensure that there is no further unrest. 

In the meanwhile, Barrackpore BJP leader Priyangu Pandey has alleged that the boy was killed because was a Hindu. He said, ‘A 17-year-old innocent boy went to eat mangoes. His was ​​killed because his cousin is a booth-level worker of the BJP. Sudipta Pandit’s crime was that he was a Hindu.’ Pandey added that police can’t protect Hindus in West Bengal, and Hindus in the state must unite to survive.

‘The Wire’ has a problem with exposure of the misdeeds of Bhopal’s ‘Muslim gang’ which targeted Hindu girls, randomly brings up ‘media ethics’ to try and distract from the crime

A Muslim gang in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, trapped several Hindu girls, raped them, and made videos. They even tried to sell the videos on porn sites. During interrogation, the Muslim boys told that all this is done for ‘Sawaab‘. The media reported the incident as it is. Now this has created a problem for the propaganda portal ‘The Wire’. The Wire has a problem with why the truth of the Muslims who committed this heinous crime for ‘Sawaab’ was published.

Huneza Khan wrote an article in ‘The Wire’ on May 16, 2025 about this incident. In this article, Khan claimed that a media trial has been conducted in this Bhopal rape case. The Wire wrote that this news about horrific stories of the girls create ‘religious hatred’.

Notably, Muslim boys had raped Hindu girls in Bhopal after making them drink ganja, made videos of them, and also burnt them with cigarettes. When media organisations reported these things without any hesitation, The Wire got irritated.

The suffering of Hindu girls seems like a WhatsApp forward to Wire. Wire does not call this incident a crime against Hindu girls but an incident that allegedly happened with ‘college girls’. That is, on one hand it is angry at the media institutions because they told the truth about these Muslims and made people aware, while on the other hand it tones down this entire crime and hides the truth carefully.

Wire says that due to this kind of reporting, the ethics of the media are being questioned. That is, if the media starts showing the suffering of Hindus, then its ethics are gone. Remember that Wire is the same institution that did a hit job against the BJP. Later it had to remove it with an apology. This did not happen with it once, but it has apologized repeatedly.

This same Wire is talking about ‘media ethics’. It is like a bandit criticizing why violence is a bad thing. In this case, Wire wants to shift the entire focus to the fact that these crimes were actually committed by Muslim boys not because of their Jihadi mentality but because of ‘patriarchy’. Wire’s shamelessness in protecting Muslim criminals is not surprising. It has been promoting anti-India propaganda even during the war period, crimes against Hindus are a small matter for it.

Thousands of cases of ‘love jihad’ have come to light, whose victims are not only Hindu but also Christian girls. It tells the real meaning of jihad. Actually, Wire does not have a problem with the fact that the standards of media are falling, or that the media is creating an atmosphere of fear about things. It is pained by the fact that why the media clearly told the name of the Muslims and their mission.

Wire wants those golden days back when if a Muslim was accused, his crime was carefully hidden by writing words like ‘man’, ‘person’ and ‘particular community’, when only Hindus were shown as the aggressors. It wants those days back when even after being killed in riots, Hindus were considered criminals. If it was concerned about the falling standards of media, then this institution, which deals in lies every day, would have pulled down its shutters first. Its pain is different.

In the Bhopal case, the Muslim gang leader Farhan had told the police during interrogation that he has no regrets about raping Hindu girls, trapping them and threatening them. He had told the police that this is a sawab (meritorious) act according to Islam. Farhan has also told the police that he wanted to ruin the lives of Hindu girls and considered this act as Jihad, that is why he targeted them. He is proud of this.

The boys involved in this gang used to make videos of each other raping. The names of the boys involved in the gang are Farhan, Abrar, Nabeel, Saad and Ali among others. Some of them would arrange rooms for rape, some would bring marijuana. Some would advise that if a Hindu girl refuses to be raped, then sell her video. Dance academies, colleges, offices and many other places were where these Hindu girls were targeted. But for Wire, revealing all this truth is an act of ‘hate’.

Wire will continue to feel this pain, because the change that has come in the society in the last 11 years has strengthened Hindus to express their pain.
