Women demand rights under Taliban rule, attract Talib supporting counter-protests by others with ‘Death to America’ chants

Women in Afghanistan have again taken to the streets to demand fundamental rights be guaranteed to them under Taliban rule. The protest on Monday comes days after a similar protest turned violent, with allegations made that the Jihadist outfit attacked the women with tear gas shells.

Visuals of the protests are circulating on the internet.

The protests are underway at Mazar-e-Sharif.

The Taliban is attempting to stop journalists from covering the protest.

The protesting women are demanding education, employment apart from a guarantee for their fundamental rights.

Visuals from the protests show that there are not too many women present at the anti-Taliban protests, indicating that the sentiment may not be widespread.

The protests have attracted a counter-demonstration from other women supporting the Taliban while chanting ‘Death to America’.

The protest and the counter-protest comes at a time when there are concerns for women’s rights in Afghanistan. Recently, it was reported that the Taliban shot dead a woman who was eight months pregnant in front of her husband and children. The woman was a police officer.

Rahul Gandhi tries to pass off old image of a Kisan rally as that of recent Mahapanchayat in Muzaffarnagar

Former Congress President and Wayanad MP Rahul Gandhi took to Twitter today to share a picture to hail ‘farmers’ who had gathered in large number to agitate against the central government’s three farm laws. Using #FarmersProtest, the senior Congress leader captioned the post in Hindi which translates to ‘Bharat Bhagya Vidhata is standing here, fearless’.

Rahul Gandhi’s Tweet posted on September 6

However, this time too, Rahul Gandhi chose an old, unrelated image to peddle his ongoing propaganda to malign the Modi government. The image is actually that of a Kisan rally that was held at Shamli, Uttar Pradesh, from February this year.

In fact, the same image which Rahul Gandhi tried to pass off as that of recent farmers’ protest is a picture by news agency PTI which was used by multiple media outlets.

The report published by The Tribune on February 6, 2021

Here is Congress mouthpiece National Herald using same image for an article on Shamli from February 5 this year.

Shamli mahasabha

Back then, Shamli administration had imposed prohibitory orders under CrPC section 144. Despite that, the ‘farmers’ had gathered.

Congress orchestrating ‘farmer protests’

The initial so-called farmer protests started in Punjab with explicit support of Punjab Congress leaders including Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh. Then other self-appointed politician-leaders too joined in as ‘farmer leaders’ like Rakesh Tikait and former AAP leader Yogendra Yadav.

The three new agriculture laws aim to help farmers to sell their produce to whoever they wish to while giving them the safety net of MSP as per existing system. However, this step which removes the middlemen from the transaction seems to have irked a few ‘farmers’ who have taken to streets to protest against the same. These protests have also seen participation from pro-Khalistan elements. On several instances during the so-called farm protests, banners of Khalistani proponent Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale were raised. 

With high octane Uttar Pradesh state assembly elections coming up in just few months’ time, the politicians masquerading as ‘farmers’ have again come out in full force to have a proxy political campaign on behalf of opposition leaders against the ruling BJP. And as one can see, opposition parties like Congress has full ‘support’ to these protests.

Iran is examining possibility of foreign intervention in Afghanistan due to Taliban onslaught on Panjshir: Details

Iran Foreign Ministry spokesperson Saeed Khatibzadeh, reacted strongly to the recent attacks on Panjshir, allegedly by Pakistan forces. Tehran Times quoted Khatibzadeh as saying, “We are currently examining (the) possibility of foreign intervention in #Panjshir attacks.”

As per Tehran Times, Iran has condemned the bombing on the last standing bastion of resistance forces in Afghanistan. 

Calling the resistance forces members who lost their lives in the standoff as ‘martyrs’, Khatibzadeh assured that Iran is examining the events in the war-torn country. 

“Iran considers inter-Afghan talks as the only solution to Afghanistan problem,” said Khatibzadeh. “I strongly warn that all red lines and obligations under international law must be observed,” the spokesperson said. 

Khatibzadeh further advised against any outside intervention. “Afghan history shows that direct and indirect intervention will only result in the defeat of the aggressors,” said the spokesperson.

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian in a call on Saturday with his foreign counterparts from Pakistan and China had stressed on the need for an ‘ intra-Afghan dialogue’ to establish peace in the country. The foreign ministers of Iran and China agreed that there is a need to form an inclusive government in Afghanistan with the participation of all tribes and groups.

‘Afghanistan must have a government based on people’s vote’: Iran

Addressing the Afghanistan issue in a first live interview, Iranian President Ayatollah Seyed Ebrahim Raisi on Saturday also suggested that Afghanistan must have a government based on people’s votes. 

“The issue of Afghanistan has shown that the presence of the Americans not only does not create security anywhere, but also undermines security,” said the President snubbing the USA for its unwarranted interference. 

Raisi further informed that Iran currently has offered a safe haven to more than 3 million Afghans displaced from their homes. “The solution to the issue in Afghanistan is the establishment of a government based on people’s vote. The Islamic Republic has always favored the establishment of peace in Afghanistan to stop the bloodshed and fratricide in Afghanistan,” reiterated Raisi. 

Hoping that peace will prevail soon Raisi had specified that it treats Afghanistan’s security issue as its own. “Afghanistan’s security is Iran’s security and we consider not only Afghanistan but also the security and peace of all our neighboring countries as our own security and peace and strengthening relations with them is a central issue and priority of Iran’s foreign policy,” Raisi concluded. 

He also warned foreign entities against infiltrating in a bid to gain control over Afghanistan. “Foreigners should not seek to infiltrate in Afghanistan and want to oppress the Afghan people again. Everyone must allow the people of Afghanistan to decide their own destiny,” he said.

Afghanistan: Taliban kills 8-month pregnant police officer in front of husband and children

An eight month pregnant police officer in Afghanistan was shot dead by the Taliban at the Ghor province in the country, Daily Mail has reported. According to the report, eyewitnesses have said that the woman was executed in front of her husband and children after door-to-door searches. The woman has been identified as one Banu Negar.

Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujaheed claimed that the Jihadist outfit was not involved in the murder. He said, ‘We are aware of the incident and I am confirming that the Taliban have not killed her, our investigation is ongoing.’ The spokesman blamed it on ‘personal enmity or something else’.

According to the report, Banu Negar was shot dead at her home in Firozkoh, the capital of the province. Three men searched the house after arriving at her home, tied up the family member before proceeding to execute her. The incident occurred on Saturday.

The details of the murder remain murky as there is palpable fear of retribution among the people of Firozkoh. The BBC reported that relatives of the women had supplied gruesome images that showed a heavily disfigured body and a blood splattered wall.

The incident occurs on the backdrop of the Taliban attempting to portray itself as a moderate organisation. However, there have been multiple reports of the Jihadist group going door to door to hunt down those who collaborated with the American and NATO forces.

Only recently, the group had cracked down on women’s rights protesters in Kabul who had taken to the streets to demand greater participation for women in governance and other areas of public life. The protest had turned violent and the women had alleged that they were attacked with tear gas shells.

Hostage situation in Afghanistan? Taliban refuses to allow multiple planes with Americans and Afghan refugees to leave

As per reports, the Taliban is believed to be holding at least six planes carrying Americans and Afghan refugees in a hostage-like situation at an airport in Afghanistan. The information was shared on September 5 by Rep. Michael McCaul, who is a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. He said that the US State Department had cleared the flights, but “the Taliban will not let them leave the airport.”

He further added, “In fact, we have six airplanes at Mazar-i-Sharif airport, six airplanes, with American citizens on them as I speak, also with these interpreters, and the Taliban is holding them hostage for demands right now.”

When host Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace asked him about the demands Talibs are making for the release, he said, “Well, they are not clearing airplanes to depart. They’ve sat at the airport for the last couple of days, these planes, and they’re not allowed to leave. We know the reason why is because the Taliban want something in exchange. This is really, Chris, turning into a hostage situation where they’re not go​ing to allow American citizens to leave until they get full recognition from the United States of America.”

CBS News reported that the State Department told the members of Congress that planes are ready to evacuate American citizens and green card holders from Afghanistan to Qatar. However, the flights are currently being held at Mazar-i-Sharif by the Taliban.

A Congressional source informed CBS news that Talibs are holding the Americans hostages to “get more out of them”.  There are around 600-1200 people on these flights, including 19 Americans waiting for OK from Talibs at a location outside the airport.

The reports further suggested that the State Department, in an email, have asked the members of Congress to inform people who are trying to leave Afghanistan via Mazar-i-Sharif that the US government do not have air assets in the country and the airspace is no longer under US’ control. It further added that the State Department was offering guidance and assistance to private entities at the airport “with an emphasis on safety.”

McCaul claimed that there are hundreds of Americans still waiting for the evacuation from Afghanistan. He further added that not even a single American had been evacuated since US troops left on August 31. He said, “I’ve been given the answer in the classified space, but it’s in the hundreds. We have hundreds of American citizens left behind enemy lines in Afghanistan as I speak. And also, very sadly, the interpreters who worked with our special forces, almost all of them were left behind and were not let in the gates at the airport at HKI [Hamid Karzai International Airport, Kabul] to get out.”

He added, “Obviously, we’re hopeful that, in the coming days, the Qataris will be able to resume air service out of Kabul. And, if they do, we’re obviously going to look to see if Americans can be part of those flights. We are going to find ways to get them — the ones that want to leave, to get them out of Afghanistan. This problem is going to get worse, not better, and it’s — we have left them behind. That’s the basic creed of the military.”

Ron Klain, Chief of Staff, White House, said that there are around a hundred Americans in the country and US Administration is trying to get them out. He said, “We are going to find ways to get them — the ones that want to leave — to get them out of Afghanistan. We know many of them to have family members, many of them want to stay, but the ones that want to leave, we’re going to get them out,” while talking to CNN.

He further added, “Obviously, we’re hopeful that, in the coming days, the Qataris will be able to resume air service out of Kabul. And, if they do, we’re obviously going to look to see if Americans can be part of those flights. We are going to find ways to get them — the ones that want to leave, to get them out of Afghanistan.”

President Joe Biden has faced flake from the lawmakers for completing the withdrawal of the US troops from Afghanistan though some Americans were still stuck in the war-hit country. Klain ‘hoped’ that in the coming days remaining Americans would get evacuated from Afghanistan.

Kerala: Trade union demands Rs 10 lakh as ‘gawking charges’ to let an ISRO truck pass, days after HC ordered abolition of ‘Nokkukooli’

Kerala: Trade union demands Rs 10 lakh as ‘gawking charges’ to let an ISRO truck pass, days after HC ordered abolition of ‘Nokkukooli’

As if the embarrassment of industries fleeing, rampant gold smuggling and spiralling new Covid-19 cases was not enough, the trade union members in Kerala on Sunday demanded Rs 10 lakhs from an ISRO truck to let it pass. 

Reportedly, a truck carrying heavy equipment en route to Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), a wing of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), was blocked by a group of workers in Thiruvananthapuram demanding “gawking charge”. 

The truck was stranded for over four hours as the local goons from trade unions demanded a hefty ransom to let it enter the VSSC facility at Thumba. The matter was settled with the intervention of the CM office, labour minister V Sivankutty and police officers, including the Commissioner of the Thumba Police Station. 

The truck was carrying some heavy machinery for the ISRO centre.

Interestingly, the behaviour of the local goons seemed normalised in the state as the truck was allowed to pass only after several rounds of negotiations, talks and protests. A labour ministry official assured that strict action will be taken against labour leaders who provoked the union workers and locals. 

Kerala HC slammed the state for ‘gawking charge’ practice

Interestingly, the incident was reported just days after the Kerala High Court slammed the state government for failing to restrict the practice of “gawking charge” despite a ban. 

“I find that complaints relating to demand for gawking charges have been coming before this Court on a regular basis. This is surprising because I am aware that the Government has already issued an order banning such demand from any Trade Union. Nokkukooli is tarnishing the image and spreading misconceptions about the State,” slammed Justice Devan Ramachandran. 

The Court now called for the effective implementation of the ban on Nokkukooli which was already imposed by the state in 2018. The practice was followed widely even amidst the pandemic last year.

Among the trade unions that employ their goons to demand this “gawking charge”, the CPM controlled Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) is most prominent, as per reports.

What is Nokkukooli?

‘Gawking charge’ or Nokkukooli is a normalised practice in Kerala where organized labour unions extort money from individuals or businesses to allow them to load unload their belongings. 

It literally means charging money for “gawking” or staring at people loading or unloading cargo. The practice has caused a lot of nuisance to common people, high profile individuals and businesses. From shifting houses to transporting goods for marriage to business shipments or even construction, everyone has had to pay hefty sums for Nokkukooli to registered trade unions, members of which just come and “gawk”. 

In a sad state of affairs, the lower-middle-class families depend on local labourers and autorickshaw drivers to move household articles from one location to another to escape the extortion by the labour unions. 

This practice is basically organised extortion by trade unions and local Leftist goons in the communist-ruled state.

‘Will hang myself publicly if found guilty’: claims Mamata Banerjee’s nephew Abhishek Banerjee before facing ED in coal scam case

Mamata Banerjee’s nephew, Abhishek Banerjee has appeared before Enforcement Directorate (ED) in Delhi on Monday, September 6, in connection to a money laundering case linked to the coal scam case. Yesterday, on September 5, before leaving for Delhi, the TMC MP told reporters at the Kolkata airport that he would “hang himself in public” if he is proven guilty.

The TMC leader, going by his party penchant, accused BJP of indulging in “political vendetta” since it lost the state assembly election.

“I reiterate what I had said in November at public meetings that if any central agency can prove my involvement in any illegal transaction of even 10 paise, there will be no need to hold any CBI or ED probe, I will walk up the podium and get myself hanged publicly,” he said.

“I am ready to face any and every kind of investigation… Having lost the elections and failing to tackle Trinamool Congress politically, they (BJP) are now seeking revenge,” Abhishek Banerjee added.

The TMC MP further said that the BJP’s only objective is to use the investigative agencies to further their political goals.

After expressing unwillingness to travel to Delhi due to the pandemic, Rujira Banerjee, Abhishek Banerjee’s wife and the latter had left for Delhi on Sunday. Earlier, Rujira Banerjee had urged the ED to allow her to appear before officials in Kolkata.

Mamata’s nephew Abhishek Banerjee summoned by ED for his alleged involvement in multi-crore coal pilferage scam

According to the reports, TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee, a Member of Parliament from the Diamond Harbour seat, has been summoned to appear before the investigating officer of the case on September 6. In addition, Rujira Banerjee, the wife of Abhishek Banerjee, has been asked to appear before them on September 1 in a case registered under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

The ED had found that the TMC general secretary Abhishek Banerjee was the beneficiary of funds obtained from this illegal trade. However, he has denied all charges.

The case was filed under criminal sections of the (PMLA) by the ED based on the FIR filed by the CBI in November 2020. The FIR had alleged a multi-crore coal pilferage scam related to the Eastern Coalfields Ltd mines in the West Bengal’s Kunustoria and Kajora areas near Asansol.

The Enforcement Directorate had previously filed a complaint with a special court saying that incumbent Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s nephew, TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee of Diamond Harbor, and his family got illicit income from illegal coal mining in the state. It went on to say that it was made possible by a “deep system” of political patronage fueled by “well-oiled” machinery.

The ED, in this remand note, alleged that certain illegal mining instances were flourishing in the state under the “patronage” of the political party in power.

Gujarat: Three bags full of books and literature on Islam found inside Vadodara anganwadi, police initiates probe

In an Anganwadi near Vadodara’s Soma Talav, three bags full of literature and books about Islam were found. Subsequently, the police was informed and Vadodara City Police has reportedly initiated a probe.

On September 4, Snehal Patel, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader from Vadodara, found books on Islam stashed in Anganwadi. After that, Bajrang Dal approached the police and filed a complaint. Wadi Police station officials visited the Anganwadi and found that it was closed for over a year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. In its initial investigation, the police found that the books allegedly belong to the supervisor of the Anganwadi, who is a Muslim woman.

The Anganwadi is located close to the sheltered families from Sulemani chawl. In 2016, the Chawl was demolished by the Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC). According to TG Bamaniya, inspector of Wadi police station, the majority of the students in the Anganwadi are Muslims, but some of the children are Hindu.

He said, “We received a complaint from local leaders that books on Islam were stashed inside the Anganwadi. The leaders expressed their apprehension that Hindu children were being made to read the books on Islamic teachings. When we questioned the supervisor, we learnt that the books were kept in the Anganwadi as she had been moving homes… it was her personal collection. The Anganwadi has been closed for over a year.”

He further added that the police is taking statements of the parents of Hindu children to see if they were forced to read the books on Islam. OpIndia approached Wadi Police Station and was informed that based on the complaint by the locals, the police had initiated a probe in the matter. As of now, no FIR has been registered in the case.

Taliban says Panjshir Valley has fallen, NRF says the fight will continue: Details

Taliban says Panjshir Valley has fallen, NRF says the fight will continue: Details

The Taliban have seized complete control of Panjshir province, the last holdout in Afghanistan held by resistance forces, the terror group’s spokesperson, Zabihullah Mujahid, claimed on Monday.

Social media websites are awash with pictures of Talibani terrorists posing in front of the gate of the Panjshir provincial governor’s compound.

However, there was no immediate word on Taliban’s claim of occupying the Panjshir Valley from either of the resistance leaders—Ahmad Massoud and Amrullah Saleh. As per a Times of India report, Saleh was moved to a safe place after a helicopter attacked his house. Ahmed Massoud is said to be safe too.

Days ago, the Taliban claims of taking over the Panjshir province was denied by NRF. Saleh had released a video saying he is still there and the resistance continues.

The reported fall of Panjshir Valley came weeks after the Taliban stormed into Kabul on August 15 and seized control of Afghanistan. It resulted in people trying to flee the country, including women who feared a return of 1990s-type Taliban rule where they had to stay at home, entertainment was banned, and public executions as punishments were common.

While the Taliban claimed that it has wrested complete control of the Panjshir Valley from the resistance forces, a report published in India Today cited a close aide of former vice president Amrullah Saleh refuting the claims. “The Taliban claims are false. Resistance forces are up on the mountains and defending themselves. The Taliban are aided by Pakistani choppers for operations against us,” the report quoted the aide as saying.

The last bastion of resistance forces in Afghanistan- Panjshir came under heavy fire on Sunday. The former Samangan MP Zia Arianjad in a quote to Aamaj News informed that the province was bombed by Pakistani Air Force drones. Reports suggested that smart bombs were used for the attack. 

Several news agencies reported that the Taliban got help from the Pakistani army in their fight against the resistance forces. According to sources close to the resistance forces, Pakistan provided air support to the Taliban in their campaign to lay control of the Panjshir Valley. It is reported to have airdropped special forces to fight along with the Taliban against the resistance forces. 

Though a clear picture is yet to emerge, many reports are stating that the Taliban has caused massive losses to the resistance forces. As per AFP, the National Resistance Front has informed that they are still present in some strategic locations and their struggle against the Taliban and its supporting forces will continue.

Key resistance force leaders killed as Taliban claims it now controls all 8 districts of Panjshir Valley

The fundamentalist group later claimed that it has taken control of all eight districts of Panjshir, after it launched an offensive to bring the last bastion of the resistance forces under its control. 

The Taliban has also asserted that the chief commander of the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan, Saleh Mohammed, was also killed in their offensive in Panjshir.

According to Asvaka News Agency, Fahim Dashti, spokesperson of the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan, was killed during a battle with the Taliban in Panjshir on Sunday. General Sahib Abdul Wadood Zhor, nephew of Ahmad Shah Massoud and a former prominent Mujahideen commander, was also reportedly killed in the battle.

Panjshir resistance calls for ceasefire

After suffering heavy losses in the past two days, the resistance forces had earlier called for a ceasefire. The National Resistance Front late on Sunday said it “proposes that the Taliban stop its military operations in Panjshir..and withdraw its forces”.

It has assured to refrain from military action in return. Massoud is also ready to hold talks with the Taliban and is committed to resolving the differences.

“The national resistance forces are ready to immediately stop the war to achieve a lasting peace if the Taliban cease their attacks and military operations in Panjshir and Andarab, and hope to hold a large meeting with scholars and reformers, and continue discussions and talks,” read Massoud’s statement posted on Facebook.

Vasooli case: Former Maha Minister Anil Deshmukh may flee the country, ED issues lookout notice

On September 6, it was reported that a lookout notice had been issued by the Enforcement Department (ED) against National Congress Party’s leader and former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh to prevent him from leaving the country.

Notably, Deshmukh has skipped several summons issued by ED in the money laundering case worth several crores. A lookout notice is issued by a law enforcement agency to prevent an accused from leaving the country. Such notices are valid for a year or till the issuing agency withdraws them. ED has stated that Deshmukh has ignored five summons so far.

The ED states that Deshmukh had received illegal gratifications worth over 4 crores from various orchestra and bar owners in Mumbai, and had tried to show it as legal money through an organisation called Shri Sai Shikshan Sanstha.

Deshmukh’s legal team tried to influence the agency’s probe

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested Anand Daga, a member of Dekhmukh’s legal team, for allegedly trying to influence the probe against the former minister. Reportedly, a confidential report that gave a ‘clean chit to Deshmukh was leaked to his lawyer by an officer of CBI in exchange for an iPhone 12 Pro as a bribe.

On September 2, a Delhi court sent Daga and accused sub-inspector Abhishek Tiwari to two-day CBI custody in connection with the probe of leaked internal documents. The next day CBI arrested Daga on corruption charges after intense interrogation.

In the FIR registered by CBI, it was stated, “It has been reliably learnt that the copies of confidential documents pertaining to the enquiry and investigation have been disclosed to unauthorised persons. Abhishek Tiwari, sub-Inspector, came in contact with Anand Dilip Daga, a Nagpur-based advocate, during the enquiry and has been in regular contact with him since then.”

During the investigation, CBI found that Tiwari visited Pune to investigate the case on June 28. The FIR read, “It has been learnt that advocate Anand Daga met Abhishek Tiwari and handed over an iPhone 12 Pro as illegal gratification to him in lieu of passing details regarding the said enquiry and the investigation and thereby causing improper performance of public duty. It has also been reliably learnt that he had obtained illegal gratification from Daga at regular intervals.”

CBI alleged that Tiwari leaked a series of documents related to the case to Daga using WhatsApp. The leaked documents were sent to various news organisations. Though the documents suggested clean chit to Deshmukh, an FIR was filed against the former minister. When the documents were leaked to the press, several questions were raised on its authenticity. CBI also denied giving clean chit to Deshmukh.

Supreme Court denied any relief to Deshmukh

Earlier, Deshmukh claimed that he would appear in front of ED only after exhausting the legal remedies. He alleged that the Supreme Court accepted his plea and the case would be heard soon. However, it was later reported that the apex court denied any interim relief to the former minister. Subsequently, he moved to Bombay High Court to get the FIR quashed.

In his reply to ED, Deshmukh claimed that the FIR against him was unfair. He came under the scanner of CBI and ED after former Commissioner of Police Param Bir Singh alleged that the former minister was involved in corruption. Deshmukh has denied all charges against him.
