The BJP has announced the new Chief Minister of Gujarat following the resignation of Vijay Rupani on Saturday. Bhupendra Patel will be the new CM of Gujarat. The announcement was made after a meeting of the BJP Legislative Party in Gandhinagar.
Bhupendra Patel is an elected representative from the Ghatlodiya assembly constituency in Gujarat. He had won by a margin of over 1,17,000 votes against Shashikant Patel from the Congress party. The seat was held by UP Governor and former Gujarat CM Anandiben Patel.
Patel has been an AUDA (Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority) Chairman in the past and also been chairman of Standing Committee of Amdavad Municipal Corporation (AMC). He is an engineer by education.
Earlier on Saturday, Vijay Rupani had announced his resignation as the Chief Minister of Gujarat in a sudden announcement. The announcement was made after the media was urgently summoned at the Raj Bhavan in Gandhinagar.
“I have resigned from the post of Gujarat Chief Minister,” Vijay Rupani had told the media after meeting Governor Acharya Devvrat. “I have conveyed my wishes to work in party organization under the leadership of Prime Minister and under the guidance of BJP chief,” he had added.
The reasons for the resignation are not entirely clear but it is speculated that his health might have contributed to the decision. Bhupendra Patel is the BJP’s third Chief Minister in the state since Narendra Modi became Chief Minister.
Taliban celebrated the beheading of an Afghan soldier, and raised slogans in the name of their leader, a report by the Washington Examiner says. According to the report, published on the 10th of September, the 36 second video was posted in a private Taliban chat room. It is not clear precisely when the video was made.
The video shows the Afghan soldiers lying on his back on the ground, surrounded by seven Talibs, including the one filming the gruesome spectacle. Of them, five carried rifles while the sixth had two knives with him.
The Talibs held the decapitated head by the hair of the victim and raised slogans. They are heard shouting, “God is great and long life to Ameer ul momeneen Mullah Haybat Uallah Akhunzada!” Towards the end of the video, the leader of the group says, “Shoot him! He has to look shot!”
Brig. Gen. Don Bolduc, a Special Ops Commander who has overseen police and army training, told the Washington Examiner that he has seen 3 decapitated bodies during his 10 tours of Afghanistan.
He said, referring to the Taliban, “These people commit crimes against humanity that pale in comparison to other groups in history. Some of their torture methods are to skin a person alive.”
“There is nothing good about these people. After 20 years of taking the Taliban off the planet permanently or putting them in confinement where should stay the rest of their lives, the Obama administration decided to let them go, and now they are holding the highest positions in the Afghanistan government,” he added.
There are multiple reports of grisly crimes committed by the Jihadist outfit. A woman who had come over to India from Afghanistan had earlier revealed that Taliban has sex with dead bodies. She had said, “They rape dead bodies too. They don’t care whether the person is dead or alive… Can you imagine this?” She had also revealed that women were being shot by the outfit in Afghanistan.
The panelists at the ‘Dismantling Global Hindutva’ conference have revealed that it’s not a political ideology that they are against, it’s Hinduism which they are trying to destroy. On Friday, one panelist confirmed that they don’t really see a difference between Hindutva and Hinduism. And since then, numerous other statements have been made confirming their animosity towards the religion.
Here, we shall take a glance at the numerous ridiculous and asinine comments that were made at the conference.
‘Hindutva is inseparable from Hinduism’
One of the panelists at the event, Akanksha Mehta, again confirmed that the goal of the conference is destroying Hinduism. She says that “arguments that Hindutva is not Hinduism are deeply dangerous” and it will “not lead us to the future we want”.
DGH speaker Akanksha Mehta
“I emphasize, without hesitation, that Hindutva is inseparable without Hinduism. And arguments that Hindutva is not Hinduism are deeply dangerous..& will not lead us to the future we want”
Another gem: BJP’s outreach towards Hijdas is harmful for Muslims
One of the great pearls of wisdom to have been delivered at the Dismantling Global Hindutva conference is that the BJP’s outreach towards Hijdas, members of the LGBT community, is dangerous for Muslims.
A panelist said that there are “increasing alliances between Hindutva politics and hijra and trans politics, which is yet another sign of Hindtuva’s ability to make forays into marginalized communities.”
It was also claimed that “Hijras alliances with the BJP leaders result in increased hostility against Muslim hijras”.
Source: Twitter
The panelist makes it appear as if the ruling party accommodating the LGBT community in society and attempting their integration is a bad thing. Liberals argue all the time for greater representation of the LGBT community but when Hindutva groups reach out to them, then liberals claim it is dangerous.
It is as if Hindutva groups could do nothing at all to get into their good books. And after all this time, it is certain that is indeed the case.
‘Alliance between Hindutva women and Zionist women’
The panelists at the event also appear to suffer under the delusion that there is some conspiracy underway between ‘Zionist women’ and ‘Hindutva women’.
Source: Twitter
One panelist said, “Hindutva women invite Zionist women to their conferences, there is active material exchange and shared knowledge about surveillance.”
Source: Twitter
Such ramblings remind one of the Islamist tendency to blame ‘Yahoodi saazish’ (Jewish conspiracy) for everything under the Sun.
Pirated Freud at Dismantling Global Hindutva conference
The stellar set of academics at the Dismantling Global Hindutva conference also boasted of a pirated Freud in their midst. The name of the panelist is yet unclear. The panelist proclaimed that the nation state is “like a huge phallus standing in front of us.”
Source: Twitter
Brahminism is responsible for Nazism
The panelists made more incendiary comments that make it difficult to comprehend whether it was an academic conference or the gathering of lunatics in an asylum. They claimed that Brahminism is responsible for Nazism.
Source: Twitter
Adolf Hitler was inspired by notions of racial supremacy based on White supremacist ideals. Even for that, the panelists wish to blame Hindutva for it. It appears that the panelists wish to blame brown people for the genocidal crimes of White Supremacists. It is quite shocking, indeed.
Savarna women
The panelists also claim that ‘Savarna’ women must turn into ‘caste-traitors’ for their political agenda to succeed. It is just a euphemism for their desire to see Upper Caste women engage in marital relationships outside their caste or religion.
Source: Twitter
Arguing in favour of intercaste marriage is a separate discussion altogether but what the panelists are essentially doing here is engaging in the psychological manipulation of women for the sake of their political agenda.
Needless to say, playing politics over women’s choice to marry who they wish is despicable in its truest sense. What the Dismantling Hindutva conference is essentially arguing is that if women do not marry as per the wishes of its esteemed panelists, then they are fascists. It’s a horrible stance to take and utterly condemnable.\
Dismantling Global Hindutva Conference: A Hinduphobic event
A panelist had said on the first day of the conference, “I take Hindutva as political Hinduism, not a distortion of an older tradition but a continuation of it.” Thus, confirming what was always known, that it is a Hinduphobic event and the arguments that it was only against a political ideology was mere bluff.
The previous track record of the panelists were enough indication of the kind of event it was going to be but comments made during the discussions leave no room for doubt.
On Saturday (September 11), the Kalyan Government Railway Police (GRP) arrested a 35-year-old man for physically assaulting and raping a minor girl near the Ulhasnagar railway station in Mumbai.
As per a report in the Times of India, the accused has been identified as Shrikant Gaikwad aka Dada. The victim, a 14-year-old girl, was returning home on Friday along with three friends. They had gone to Shridi and were using the Ulhasnagar skywalk to return home at around 10 pm. Gaikwad, a history-sheeter, threatened the minor girl with a hammer and pulled her into a room in the railway quarters. He then brutally assaulted the victim and inflicted injuries on her head. The girl was also subjected to rape and was allowed to leave only on Saturday morning.
On informing the matter to her family, she was taken to the local Hill police station in Ulhasnagar. However, instead of registering a First Information Report (FIR), the cops asked them to go to the Vithalwadi police station citing ‘jurisdiction issues’. The victim and her family members were then directed to visit the Kalyan GR, where a case of rape and assault was finally registered at 2 pm. Besides the relevant Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections, charges were also invoked against the accused under the Prevention of Child Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.

After having made the victim’s family scout from one police station to another, the cops swung into action and arrested Shrikant Gaikwad by evening. While speaking about the matter, a Kalyan police official conceded, “After the accused allowed the girl to leave in the morning, she first approached Hill Line police station and then Vithalwadi police station where she was instructed that since the crime had occurred in our jurisdiction, she should go to our Kalyan GRP station.” Senior police inspector Valmik Shardul confirmed the accused’s arrest under charges of rape, assault and the POCSO Act. Gaikwad is a resident of Ulhasnagar and has multiple criminal cases lodged against him.
Lawlessness in Maharashtra, 9 cases of rape occurred in recent days
People are enraged by the lawlessness in Maharashtra, which has emboldened criminals to perpetrate such heinous atrocities without fear of being caught by the authorities. However, the Ulhasnagar rape case is only one of the many such crimes that have been committed in the state of Maharashtra in the recent few days. In fact, recently, there has been a spate of gruesome and horrific rape cases in the state and in most cases, the perpetrators are roaming scot-free. At least nine such cases have been reported in the last few days in Maharashtra. One such gruesome case that recently made headlines was the brutal rape of a 30-year-old victim in Mumbai’s Sakinaka area in Andheri East on Thursday night (September 9).
A week after Afghan Vice-President Amurullah Saleh had released a video from Panjshir denying the reports that he has fled the valley, a Talib has been spotted at the same spot now. Saleh was seen sitting in front of a bookshelf while recording the video released on September 3. But now, a Talib brandishing an assault rifle in front of the same bookshelf has appeared on social media now, implying that the Taliban has now captured the place where Saleh was staying in Panjshir.
An exclusive photograph of the Taliban member sitting in front of the bookshelf was posted by Afghan media house Afghan Urdu on September 10.

The pro-Taliban media house wrote in its tweet in Urdu, “Taliban fighter Amrullah Saleh poses in front of a bookcase. Former Afghan Vice President Amrullah Saleh sat down and released a video message announcing that he would not leave the country and resist, but later fled to Tajikistan.”
On Friday, a Pakistani journalist by the name of Hamza Azhar Salam had cited ‘pro-Taliban’ accounts to inform that the radical Islamists had entered the said library in the Panjsher province of Afghanistan. “Pro Taliban accounts are sharing this picture claiming that Talibans have entered the library where Amrullah Saleh sent a video message a few days ago.”

Video message by former Afghan Vice President
On September 3, Amrullah Saleh had dismissed reports about him escaping from Afghanistan, following the fall of Kabul at the hands of the Taliban. The former Afghan Vice-President had said, “I am in the Panjshir Valley. The reports concerning my escape from Afghanistan are totally baseless. I am here. We have had several meetings regarding the situation. No doubt, the situation has been difficult. We are under invasion by the Taliban, their Al-Qaeda allies, terrorist groups from the region and beyond and as usual backed by the Pakistanis.”
A video message sent to us @BBCWorld from one of the leaders of the anti-Taliban resistance, fmr VP @AmrullahSaleh2 who says they’re under attack from terrorists and points the finger of blame at Pakistan. Pakistan of course deny they support Taliban forces #Panjshir#Afghanistanpic.twitter.com/w3e6GnrRXi
He further added, “We have held the ground. We have resisted. The resistance is not going to surrender or bow to terrorism. It is going to continue. They are all difficulties but I have not fled or escaped. I want to assure you through this video that everything said about me having fled/escaped is baseless.” While responding to his own video message on Twitter, Saleh said, “The RESISTANCE is continuing and will continue. I am here with my soil, for my soil & defending its dignity.” The picture of the Talib at the same location as Amrullah Saleh had raised concerns about the latter’s safety.
Taliban killed brother of Amrullah Saleh
The Taliban has killed Rohullah Saleh, brother of Afghan resistance leader Amrullah Saleh, India Today had earlier reported. The Taliban had announced on the 6th of September that they have managed to gain control of the Panjshir Valley. The resistance forces, however, had claimed that they were still fighting the Jihadist group. Soon after, the Taliban destroyed the tomb of the Late Guerilla Commander Ahmad Shah Massoud in the Panjshir Province.
After the Taliban took over Kabul, Ahmad Massoud, son of Ahmad Shah Massoud, along with Amrullah Saleh had reportedly fled to Panjshir valley to continue the Resistance against Taliban occupation. Panjshir Valley remained the last bastion of the Northern Alliance and all the Anti-Taliban fighters.
The Indian Express has apologised for using the photograph of a flyover in Kolkata in an advertisement for the Uttar Pradesh Government. The newspaper said that the advertorial was prepared by the marketing department of the newspaper.
Indian Express said in a statement, “A wrong image was inadvertently included in the cover collage of the advertorial on Uttar Pradesh produced by the marketing department of the newspaper. The error is deeply regretted and the image has been removed in all digital editions of the paper.”

People are speculating whether it was a deliberate hitjob against the Yogi Government ahead of the assembly elections in the state. Some are convinced that it was done intentionally.
What about print editions? You guys did it intentionally. Shame on you https://t.co/u4VIy0D9Yg
From the statement of Indian Express, it is clear that the Uttar Pradesh Government had nothing to do with the advertisement. The entire advertorial, with it goof ups, was prepared by the marketing department of the newspaper.
A video has gone viral on social media where a Muzaffarnagar resident from Uttar Pradesh, Shahid Hussain, can be heard saying that a Muslim will never say ‘Har Har Mahadev’ as suggested by political activist Rakesh Tikait last week.
In an interview with a news channel News Views, Hussain said, “See, Musalman will never say ‘Har Har Mahadev’. This is not new unity drama. Since Mahatma Gandhi became active in politics, he propagated Hindu-Muslim unity and sang ‘Ishwar Allah tere naam, sabko sanmati de bhagwan’. Muslim never sang this song,” he said. “So much that the country got divided. Even then Muslim never sang it. Today Tikait is doing politics in name of farmer, he has all right to do it. But as far as it is about him chanting ‘Allahu Akbar’ and saying ‘Har Har Mahadev’, he can do whatever but a Muslim will never say Allahu Akbar,” he said.
He further said that in India, Hindu-Muslim unity is not possible, never was and never will be. “Because they are ideologically different. Wherever Islam went, there except for Islamic law, all other rules have failed. When you speak about Akhand Bharat, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh were part of this. Whichever part was cut off, from there Har Har Mahadev was also cut off and Allahu Akbar remained. Now when another part gets cut off, Allahu Akbar will remain and Har Har Mahadev will but cut off,” he said. It must be noted that government of India brought in the Citizenship Amendment Act in 2019 to fast-track Indian citizenship of the persecuted religious minorities in these three neighbouring Islamic countries.
2013 Muzaffarnagar riots
Speaking on 2013 Muzaffarnagar riots, Hussain said that the riots were not orchestrated by the BJP but the stage was set by Bharatiya Kisan Union’s Rakesh Tikait. He said that soon after Sachin and Gaurav were killed, Amir Alam and Rakesh Tikait were the first to reach there. Even subsequent announcements and rallies were also organised by Rakesh Tikait, he said.
“He is just playing all tricks in the book to win the elections. Last time he contested elections after orchestrating all this and could not get more than 5,000 votes. Yes, he has been successful in gathering people in name of farmers. Jat community is such that they gather on the name of ‘farmer cause’. They can gather crowds in name of fathers,” he said.
Muslims are latching on to farmers to escape from other cases
Hussain further said that the Muslims who had joined the farmer protests have different problems. “They have taken the refuge of Kisan Union to escape from police. Kisan Union leaders are available and BJP leaders are not easily reachable, so they (Muslims) are latching on to ‘farmer leaders’. They are doing it to escape from Police,” he said.
Muslims will never worship other gods
Shahid Hussain further said, “As per religions, everyone knows a Muslim will never chant slogans of other religions or visit worship place of people from different faith. They have never done and will never do either. Few politicians will do such drama about Hindu-Muslim unity.”
He scoffed at the ‘Ganga-Jamuna tehzeeb’ and said, “What Ganga-Jamuna tehzeeb? The one who spearheaded the partition of India, Liaquat Ali Khan was born in Muzaffarnagar. This is where the partition seeds were sown. Muzaffarnagar and Liaquat Ali Khan played an important role in creation of Pakistan. Everyone credits Jinnah Sa’ab, but it was Liaquat Ali Khan who played a major role in creation of Pakistan.”
He further added that ‘Hindu Muslim Bhai Bhai’ slogan is chanted by Hindus and not Muslims. “It is an imaginary, political slogan, not reality,” he said.
Will ‘farmer protests’ hurt the BJP?
“No, it is the Jats and Muslims who’ve come together in name of ‘farmer protests’. To say whether the crowd will convert into votes it is impossible,” he said.
Will Muslim chant ‘Har Har Mahadev?”
“No, why will he say? Why would he go take bath in Ganga when he does not need to? He will bathe in the Jamuna (Yamuna). Why will be bother about Ganga? He will use the resources of India but will have to respect it, where is it written? Hindus may be holding the Ganga holy, for Muslims it is not holy,” he said.
Political activist Rakesh Tikait last week, while addressing a Mahapanchayat in Muzaffarnagar chanted ‘Allahu Akbar’ slogan from the stage. In 2013, Tikait was booked for stoking communal disharmony with his allegedly inflammatory speeches which eventually led to 2013 Muzaffarnagar flare-up. According to the residents of Muzaffarnagar, Rakesh Tikait and his brother, Naresh, had both been “primary culprits” for the gruesome communal riots.
Who is Shahid Hussain
Shahid Hussain, a Muzaffarnagar resident and has been in news over the 2013 Muzaffarnagar riots cases. In 2013 he had filed a writ petition in Supreme Court. In light of a sting operation on the same carried out by India Today back in 2013, Hussain had sought an independent inquiry into the Muzaffarnagar riots.
With Uttar Pradesh state assembly elections round the corner, the political landscape in India’s most populous state is just warming up.
This was India’s best ever performance at the Paralympics. Indian para athletes won 19 medals – five gold, eight silver, and six bronze. Prior to this, India had won 12 medals (4 medals of each metal) in all previous Paralympics appearances combined. Tokyo Paralympians thanked PM Modi for the support provided by the Modi government to help them perform well.
Girl students belonging to Muslim community and staying in government run minority girls’ hostel in Bhagalpur district of Bihar rose in rebellion on Saturday afternoon against the farman of hostel superintendent Nahida Nasreen to wear burqa even on the campus of the hostel.
These girls were so angry that they pelted stones on the gate of the hostel alleging the superintendent Nahida Nasreen is imposing Taliban Sharia law on them. They said that they are fed-up with the way their personal freedom on the campus is being questioned and they are being tortured by an orthodox superintendent to wear burqa.
In the past also they had lodged their concerns via e-mail to the Bihar welfare department of the Nitish Kumar government.
They wanted to vent their anger on the road but Nahida Nasreen did not open the gate of the hostel which is situated close to the BN College in the heart of Bhagalpur.
It seems that this face-off between girls and the superintendent was going on for a long time as a girl Daraksha Anwar said that every time they wear trousers, the superintendent abuses them. Besides, the superintendent also misinformed their parents that they talk to boys, the girls allege.
Girls explained that in hot and humid weather wearing burqa is quite difficult, hence they wear trousers and T-shirts on the campus. Neda Fatima, a research scholar said that whenever, Nahida Nasreen saw any student in trousers or talking to their female students who are having the scooty she became angry. Sensing troubles; Circle Officer of Nathnagar block Smita Jha along with local police reached the hostel and opened the gate.
Girls carrying placards in their hand reached the administrative building of the Tilka Manjhi Bhagalpur University. Insisting to meet Vice Chancellor of the university Neelima Gupta they wanted the immediate removal of Nahida Nasreen from the post of superintendent.
They later on relented after DSW Rampravesh Singh and proctor Ratan Mandal assured a probe in this matter. Girls feared that they may be expelled from the hostel by Nahida Nasreen for raising voice against them.
On the ocassion of the 20th anniversary of the deadly 9/11 attacks, US President Joe Biden was booed by the public during his visit to a memorial event at ground zero in New York.
In a video uploaded on video sharing platform TikTok and shared widely on Twitter, the crowd mocked the US President for exacerbating the Afghanistan crisis. As Biden approached a 90-year-old Maria Fisher, who lost her son in the 9/11 attacks, the public hurled abuses at him for mishandling the situation and putting the lives of Afghans in danger.

“The murderers… Look the murderers! Boo…boo…boo…You are a mutt for what you did to Afghanistan…Terrible, terrible” a man was heard yelling at the US President during the memorial event. Joe Biden tried to put up a brave face and attempted to ignore the resentment among the people over the failure of the US government.

Joe Biden, War on Terror and how US failed the Afghans and paved the way for Taliban
On September 11, 2001, a group of 19 Al Qaeda terrorists orchestrated a total four terror attacks, killing about 3000 people during the incident. The terror attack, committed by Al Qaeda terrorists led by Osama bin Laden, marked the dawn of a new era in American history as it embarked upon a series of regime change wars in the name of ‘War on Terror’. Although Osama bin Laden was executed on May 2, 2011, in Pakistan’s Abbottabad, the US forces stayed for an additional 10 years in Afghanistan. During this time, it backed the Ashraf Ghani government in Kabul but decided to withdraw its forces before the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
In a public address on August 16, Joe Biden claimed that the US’s mission in Afghanistan was never about nation-building or creating unified, centralized democracy. It was always about preventing a terrorist attack on US soil. Biden added that the US went to Afghanistan almost 20 years ago to ensure Al-Qaeda cannot use Afghanistan as a base for an attack on US soil again. He said the US never gave up on the hunt for Osama Bin Laden and eventually killed him a decade ago. The incumbent US President Joe Biden had initially decided to withdraw all the American troops from Afghanistan by September 21 this year.
His administration had extended the timeline from May 1 to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Halfway through, he decided to facilitate an early exit on August 31 without considering the aftermath. After the US had announced its plans to withdraw, the Taliban took over Kabul and the rest of Afghanistan as US-trained Afghan military surrendered before the radical Islamist forces. Biden was criticised for letting the country slip into the hands of Taliban. On August 26, bomb blasts took place near the Hamid Karzai international airport in Afghan’s capital Kabul killed more than 100 people, including 13 US troops, disrupting the ongoing Afghan evacuation of tens of thousands of stranded civilians.
The Afghan nationals, who had worked with the US forces against the Taliban, found them in a helpless state, prompting many of them to hold onto the tyres of a US carrier and falling to their deaths. One of the victims was a 19-year-old Zaki Anwari, who played for Afghanistan’s national soccer team. “Anwari, like thousands of Afghan youths, wanted to leave the country but fell off a US plane and died,” the General Directorate of Physical Education and Sports of Afghanistan noted in a statement. It also came to light that the United States had handed out a list of American citizens, Afghan allies, and green card holders to the Taliban so as to allow their evacuation from the Hamid Karzai International airport in Kabul.
Despite being well aware that the Taliban has a history of killing US allies, the decision to provide specific names to the Islamist outfit by the Biden administration has put their life in jeopardy. Not just the lists, the Taliban reportedly also have biometric data of all Afghans who had worked with US and NATO forces. An exclusive investigation by the New York Times (NYT) has also revealed that the drone attack, conducted by the US to avenge the bomb blasts of August 26, had killed an aid worker and his family instead of an ISKP terrorist. Later, the Pentagon officials tried to justify their action by concoting stories of a second bomb blast.
