Gujarat: Hindu Samaj stops AAP leader Italia from performing Darshan at Somnath Temple, had insulted Brahmins and rituals

After Gujarat AAP leader Gopal Italia’s old videos insulting Brahmins and Hindu rituals went viral, he was reportedly barred from offering prayers at the Somnath Temple on Monday.

As per reports, Italia was stopped from performing darshan at the Somnath temple by the Brahmin community and Hindu organizations as they were upset by the demeaning remarks made by the leader. Italia visibly upset with the incident had to return without paying obeisance.

Italia accuses BJP goons of attacking him at Somnath Temple

Italia has filed a complaint with the police accusing the BJP of leading an attack on him as he stepped out of the temple. In a statement to the media, he also alleged that an attempt was made to attack him in the temple premises which was unsuccessful. He also claimed that he has the name of the attackers who allegedly are BJP workers. 

Italia had allegedly apologised to the Hindu and Brahmin communities for hurting their sentiments. 

Italia insults Hindu rituals

In an old video that recently went viral on social media, Italia was heard saying, “If you do not like what I have to say then block me and leave because I don’t need you. People are spending a lot of money and time on non-scientific and unnecessary things like Satyanarayan Katha, Bhagwad Katha and other such useless things. Still, people do not know what they’ll gain out of doing this. They waste other people’s time also. If we spend even 5 paisa on such useless things, we do not have a right to live like humans.”

Calling Hindus eunuchs Italia further said, “I am ashamed of such people. It angers me. If you don’t like what I said block me. We don’t need those who clap like hijras in name of rituals and culture. Some Sadhu will speak nonsense from the stage and we have to clap like hijras?”

In another viral video, Italia mocked devotional Hindu congregations and remarked, “Why are these kathakars doing kathas in Surat only? If you are so big go to border for kathas. Go do kathas at Pakistan border and Bangladesh border. Just spare the people here.”

‘My mother is almost 100, yet she has taken both doses’: PM Modi asks India to shed Covid vaccine hesitancy on Mann Ki Baat

On his monthly radio address ‘Mann Ki Baat’, PM Narendra Modi on Sunday (June 27), urged the citizens of India to shed vaccine hesitancy and get inoculated against Covid-19. PM Modi gave example’s of his mother and himself to counsel them to shun the fear surrounding the Covid vaccine.

He spoke to people from Dulariya village in Betul district of Madhya Pradesh and encouraged them to get jabbed against the deadly virus as soon as possible.

When villagers informed him about rumours surrounding the Covid-19 vaccine, Modi said: “I have taken both doses. My mother is almost a hundred years old, she has taken both vaccines too. Please do not believe any negative rumours relating to vaccines.”

PM Modi urges citizens to have confidence in science, scientists and shed vaccine hesitancy

Underlining the remarkable work the Indian scientists have done by developing indigenous vaccines in record time, Modi asked people to not fall for rumours and get vaccinated while informing others too about it.

“Do you know how hard our scientists have worked to develop the vaccines? Eminent scientists have worked round the clock, so we must have confidence in science and our scientists and explain to rumour mongers that so many people have taken the vaccine and nothing untoward has happened with them”, explained Modi.

“Those who are spreading rumours on vaccines, let them be. We all will do our work and ensure people around us get vaccinated. The threat of Covid remains and we have to focus on vaccination as well as follow Covid-19 protocols.”

‘Please get rid of fear’, PM Modi assures people that Covid vaccines are absolutely safe on Mann Ki Baat

While speaking to one Rajesh from Dulariya village in Betul district of Madhya Pradesh, Prime Minister Narendra Modi assures him that the made in India Covid vaccines are absolutely safe. “Please get rid of fear. Sometimes people may get a fever but it is very mild and lasts only for a few hours. Avoiding the Covid-19 vaccine can be very dangerous. You’re not only putting yourself at risk but also your family and the entire village,” he said.

The prime minister asked the people of Dulariya village to involve women in combating vaccine hesitancy and inform him once they had taken the jab.

Modi cited the example of Weyan village in Bandipora district, Kashmir and three villages in Nagaland, where all the people above the age of 18 years have been jabbed against the deadly virus. He said that the people of Weyan village set themselves a target of 100 per cent vaccines and also achieved it. The Prime Minister said that the only way to dispel the rumours against Covid vaccines is convincing others by getting yourself vaccinated.

PM lauds new phase of inoculation drive

The Prime Minister hailed the feat of administering over 86 lakh vaccine doses in a single day on June 21 at the start of the new phase of inoculation under which all adults are being given free jabs by the central government.

While counselling another person named Kishori Lal Dhurve from the same village in Madhya Pradesh, Modi explained that if someone tells them that corona is gone, they should not fall for the notion. Moreover, referring to the mutants of the pathogen, the PM added that the viral ailment is a “master of disguise” which surfaces in myriad new forms and to protect oneself from it.

“People have two ways. One is adhering to the protocol for corona like wearing a mask, frequently washing hands with soap, maintaining social distancing. The other way is, along with all this, getting vaccinated. This too is a good safety shield, he said.

Villagers in MP get vaccinated after chatting with PM Modi on Mann Ki Baat

Interestingly, after speaking to PM Modi, many people of Dulariya village in Madhya Pradesh’s Betul district, got themselves jabbed against the deadly virus. Rajesh Hirave, one of those who had a chat with the PM on the Mann ki Baat programme which was aired on Sunday, told PTI “After talking to the prime minister on Friday, I along with my family members got the vaccine shot for prevention from the coronavirus infection on Saturday”.

“I encouraged others also, following which 127 people from the village got vaccinated,” Rajesh added.

60-year-old village resident Kishorilal Dhurve, also got vaccinated after speaking to PM Modi.

“My father has got vaccinated and is now encouraging others to get the vaccine jab,” Dhurve’s son Ravindra said.

How the leftist lobby and the opposition worked round the clock to spread ‘vaccine hesitancy’

While the central government is doing its best to inoculate the citizens of India against the deadly pathogen, there is this set of usual left-liberals, the Congress ecosystem, and other Opposition parties who have spared no effort in spreading anti-vaccine propaganda.

It is indeed tragic that this vicious lobby, in their hate for the Prime Minister, has gone out of their way to derail the ongoing vaccination drive.

Prominent political leaders, businessmen, lawyers, and journalists led a nefarious online campaign to create panic and cast aspersions about the efficacy of the Coronavirus vaccine. While some opposed vaccination programme to turn around their political fortunes, others targetted the vaccine manufacturers in a bid to demoralise them. 

OpIndia in its report dated May 1st, 2021, listed names of 10 ‘covidiots’ who had mocked India’s vaccination drive.

India surpasses USA in total number of vaccine shots administered

However, this left-liberal lobby would not be too pleased to know that India’s cumulative COVID vaccination coverage crossed the landmark of 32.36 crores to become the first country to inoculate so many people till now. In another remarkable vaccine milestone, India has overtaken the USA in the number of COVID vaccination doses administered so far under the nationwide vaccination drive.

New spider species named after 26/11 gallant cop Tukaram Omble, he took multiple bullets to help capture terrorist Ajmal Kasab

Indian arachnologists have discovered two new species of spiders in Maharashtra and named one of them after the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack martyr assistant sub-inspector Tukaram Omble, ‘Icius Tukarami’. Omble had sacrificed his life to catch terrorist Ajmal Kasab alive.

The term ‘Icius Tukarami’ was first mentioned in a paper published by a team of researchers. It stated: “The specific epithet is dedicated to a hero of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack, ASI Tukaram Omble AC, who took 23 bullets and captured the terrorist of the attack.”

The second species of the jumping spider has been named Phintella cholkei.

Icius tukarami is found in Thane while Phintella cholkei is distributed in Thane and Aarey Milk Colony in Mumbai.

Role of martyred junior police officer Tukaram Omble in nabbing 26/11 terrorist Ajmal Kasab alive

Tukaram Omble took multiple bullets and sacrificed his life to catch Kasab alive who would later become the most notorious face of the Mumbai 26/11 attacks. The junior police officer had held the barrel of Kasab’s AK-47 onto his chest to make sure it hits only him and his other colleagues could swoop on the Pakistani terrorists unharmed. Omble’s transcendent gallantry made Kasab face the trial and expose Pakistan’s nefarious designs to incite religious hatred in India.

Tukaram Omble was awarded India’s highest peacetime gallantry award Ashoka Chakra for his bravery.

In his book ‘Let Me Say It Now’, former Mumbai police commissioner Rakesh Maria had written how Omble had displayed unparalleled valour in nabbing Kasab alive. He also lauded the role of Sanjay Govilkar, Assistant Police Inspector of D B Marg police station, whose timely advice to his police colleagues brimming with absolute rage against Kasab stopped them from killing the maniac.

Saba Naqvi and Alt News cofounder Zubair reach police station to record their statement in fake hate crime case

Eminent propagandist Saba Naqvi and co-founder of ‘fact-checking’ website Alt News Mohammed Zubair have appeared before the UP Police to record their statement in the Loni fake hate crime case.

The Uttar Pradesh Police had earlier registered an FIR against Saba Naqvi, Zubair and others for sharing a manipulated video to allege that an elderly Muslim man had been thrashed for refusing to chant Jai Shri Ram.

Umer Pahalwan Idris, a Samajwadi Party leader, has already been arrested for giving a communal colour to the crime. He had appeared on a Facebook Live video to castigate Hindus over the matter.

This video, along with one another muted video (which now stands deleted) of the incident where the victim was being assaulted, was shared on social media handles by people like Alt News co-founder Muhammed Zubair and several others, namely Rana Ayyub, The Wire, Salman Nizami, Maksoor Usmani, Sama Mohammad and Saba Naqvi. Zubair claimed that Abdul was forced to chant ‘Jai Shri Ram’ as he was beaten up and tried to give the incident a communal angle.

Taking cognizance of the matter, the Uttar Pradesh government had also filed an FIR on June 15 against Twitter for failing to flag the video with unverified claims as ‘manipulative’ and lack of action. Alt News co-founder Zubair, Rana Ayyub, The Wire, Salman Nizami, Maksoor Usmani, Sama Mohammad and Saba Naqvi have also been booked for spreading misleading and fake news.

The accused in the fake hate crime case had turned out to be Muslim and the crime was committed over personal animosity.

Supreme Court dismisses plea seeking protection of Hindus from the Muslim community in Mewat

On Monday (June 28), the Supreme Court of India dismissed a petition seeking protection of Hindus from the dominant Muslim community in the Nuh district (Mewat) of Haryana.

As per reports, the petition was filed by a group of lawyers and activists through advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain. It read, “A number of Hindus have been forcibly converted to Islam and a number of Hindu women and minor girls have been abducted and raped. The Hindu women are not safe at all. The Muslims at a large number have committed atrocities on members of Schedule caste.”

The petitioners highlighted that the local police, the district administration, and the State government have failed to exercise their power in upholding the life and liberty of the Hindu community. The petition stated that the Hindu population in Nuh had declined from 20% (in 2011) to 10-11% now while the Muslim population has increased under the patronage of Tablighi Jammat.

The petitioners relied on a report, dated May 31, 2020, by a four-member committee wherein it visited the affected area and submitted a copy of it to Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar. The petition stated, “(The State of Haryana has failed to) disclose the facts of various FIRs and complaints of various heinous crimes, lodged by Hindus against Muslims for their tortures and atrocities committed on them, leave apart taking any action on the said FIRs or complaints.”

While highlighting that the Nuh district of Haryana has been affected by anti-national elements, they said that the Hindu community has been forced to lead the ‘life of an animal’. As such, the petition urged the apex court to constitute a Special Investigation Team (SIT) of CBI, NIA officials, and a retired Supreme Court judge to look into the accusations of forceful conversions, rape of Hindu women and minor girls. The petitioners also asked the court to cancel all sale deeds made by Hindus under coercion in the past 10 years.

The petition was heard by a 3-Judge Bench of CJI NV Ramana, Justices Hrishikesh Roy and AS Bopanna. During the hearing, the CJI said, “We cannot entertain this plea based on newspaper reports.” The Supreme Court then dismissed the case, seeking protection for Hindus, after enquiring about additional affidavits.

Mewat – A hotbed of forced conversions and atrocities against Hindus

Mewat region, which falls over Rajasthan and Haryana, has been a hotbed of organised crime, cattle smuggling and illegal Rohingyas.

Earlier in February 2020, a gang-rape incident with a married woman was reported in a village in Tawadu, Mewat. The woman was abducted in September 2019 and held captive until she broke out of her captivity in on January 15, 2020. She had accused five men of kidnapping and gang-raping her for months. The woman alleged that while she was held captive, she was administered drugs by her captors and gang-raped. She also alleged that her kidnappers shot pornographic videos and threatened her of releasing them on the internet.

In September 2020, a 15-year-old teenager was abducted, drugged, and subsequently raped by 3 men—Ismail, Irshad and Sahir. The girl was gang-raped and tortured for over 28 hours in Pinangwa village of Nuh. The accused were known to the girl. According to the victim, when she had gone out in the morning to relieve herself, one of them, Ismail, lured her into going with him in a millet field nearby where he raped her. About 2 hours later, another one, Sahir came who raped her. Later, Irshad came and forced himself on her. The girl in her statement had said that she was drugged by the men before they raped her. 

In October last year, a terrifying incident of attempted love jihad and forced conversion of non-Muslim into Islam came to the fore with the blood-curdling murder of a 21-year-old student named Nikita Tomar in Faridabad. She was shot dead in broad daylight by two men outside the Aggarwal college in Ballabgarh, Faridabad earlier this week. One of the two assailants, Tauseef was harassing her and making advances at Nikita. She had filed a complaint of molestation and harassment against Tauseef last month and a compromise was reached later.

An FIR was filed by Nikita just a day before her murder, against the accused Tauseef harassing her and trying to convert her to Islam. The shocking incident was caught on camera, visuals of which had gone instantly viral in the aftermath of the brutal killing. Touseef and his accomplice Rehan were arrested by the police. The prime accused of Tomar’s murder, Touseef, belonged to Mewat, a region infamous for rampant abductions, rapes, and forcible religious conversions of Hindu and Dalit women into Islam by the radical Muslim inhabitants.

Twitter shows a distorted map of India on its website yet again, has been a repeat offender

Twitter has been showing a distorted map of India on the career section on its website. The map that appears on the ‘Tweep Life’ section shows Jammu & Kashmir, and Ladakh detached from India. The distorted map was first noticed by user @/thvaranam.

Reaction from Netizens

The distorted map has attracted criticism from netizens. User deepakdkokha said, “@rsprasad is @Twitter new @PMOIndia Y such hesitancy in banning @Twitter what is the undertable dealing that @Twitter is becoming bold, anarchist day by day, humiliating ctzn of Hindusthsn & also altering demographic map.”

Another user, Vivekmane343, said, “Twitter again showing their left face showing wrong map of India you are still waiting for an official apology from Twitter? Show them their place this time.”

Om Singh said, “Twitter shows this map on @TwitterCareers homepage .. see the map of India, JK and Ladakh has been fully cut.. This is done deliberately, and it cant be a mistake …”

Twitter is a repeat offender

This is not the first time that the social media platform has shown the wrong map of India. In October 2020, national security analyst Nitin A Gokhale found that Twitter had labelled the Indian territory of Leh in Ladakh as part of the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Gokhale, the founder of Strat News Global, had marked his location as ‘Hall of Fame Leh’. However, the microblogging platform displayed the area as a part of PRC. The screengrab of the video read, “Nitin A Gokhale was live. Jammu and Kashmir, People’s Republic of China.”

The government of India issued a warning to CEO Jack Dorsey over the misrepresentation of the Indian map. Giving notice to Twitter, Secretary IT had said that such attempts not only bring disrepute to Twitter but also raises questions about its neutrality and fairness as an intermediary.

In recent times, Twitter is having a tussle with the Government of India over the new amendments in the IT law that makes it mandatory for the social media platforms to take steps to ensure complaints raised against the platforms are solved in the prescribed period. Conditions like the appointment of an interim grievance officer and other regulations have irked the social media giant. By not following the regulations, Twitter has already lost its legal protection against content posted on the platform.

Delhi Police arrests Gurjot Singh from Amritsar in connection to Red Fort Violence

On June 28, Delhi Police announced that its Special Cell of Northern Region (NR) had arrested a wanted criminal identified as Gurjot Singh, who had a reward of Rs 1 lakh on his head. Singh was wanted in connection to the Red Fort Violence of Republic Day 2021 in Delhi, where two flags with the Sikh holy symbol were hoisted on Red Fort. He was arrested from Amritsar, Punjab.

Sanjeev Yadav, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Special Cell, confirmed the arrest and said, “One Gurjot Singh wanted in the Red Fort case who had a reward of Rs 1 lakh on his head has been arrested by a team of NR of special cell from Amritsar.”

In February 2021, Delhi Police had announced a cash reward of Rs.1 lakh for anyone who provides information to trace several accused persons in the case. Some of the accused were Gurjot Singh, Deep Sidhu, Jugraj Singh, Gurjant Singh and others. Gurjot was absconding since the January 26 incident of violence and riots in Delhi. Since then, the police were tracing the accused in Delhi and Punjab.

Republic Day Riot

On January 26, a large group of alleged farmers riding tractors drove inside Delhi and created a riot-like situation. The incident took place in the background of a tractor rally that was supposed to be held on the outskirts of Delhi. The organizers and Kisan unions had promised Delhi Police that they would conduct the tractor rally only on the approved route but on Republic Day, they broke the barriers and entered Delhi. The rally was supposed to be a protest rally against the Agriculture laws named Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020, the Farmers Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Act 2020 and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020 that were passed in September 2020.

The rioters posing as farmers unleashed their wrath on Delhi and Delhi Police. Around 300 police personnel were injured, and property worth crores were damaged. Visuals that emerged from the riots showed how the alleged farmers tried to mow down the police personnel with tractors, attacked them with swords, batons and other weapons and mercilessly attacked police personnel at Red Fort for security purposes.

A group of rioters including Deep Sidhu, Gurjot Singh and others reached the Red Fort and hoisted two flags with the Sikh Holy symbol. Interestingly, the hoisting of the flag was in sync with the provocations of terrorist organization Sikhs For Justice, whose founder had announced a cash prize for the person(s) who hoist the flag on Red Fort. A total of 43 cases were registered in connection to the riots.

‘Not without mutton curry’: Odia groom walks out of wedding seeing no mutton on menu, marries another woman

In a bizarre incident, a groom in Odisha reportedly walked out of his wedding after seeing that the girl’s family have not served mutton curry to the wedding guests. As per reports, a 27-year-old man named Ramakant Patra cancelled his wedding after learning that the bride’s family have not included mutton curry in the wedding feast.

The incident was reported on 25 June.

As per reports, the incident occurred in Jajpur district’s Sukinda. Patra, who hails from neighbouring Keonjhar district was to marry a girl from Sukinda’s Bandhagaon village.

When the baraatis arrived at the wedding venue for the ceremony, they were welcomed by the bride’s family. But they discovered that the wedding feast does not include mutton curry. Miffed over the lack of mutton on the menu, the groom’s side reportedly had an argument with the bride’s family.

Following the argument, groom Ramakant Patra decided to cancel the wedding. Though the bride’s side tried to persuade him, Patra was unyielding. The groom’s baraat then left without wedding. They reportedly stayed at a relative’s place in the same block for the rest of the day.

Patra then married another woman from the Phulajhara village on the same night, before returning home.

Reports say that no complaint has been filed regarding the issue.

It is notable here that mutton curry is a very popular dish in Odisha and is often considered a must at weddings and most social events, including picnics and other feasts. Families who don’t include mutton curry in the wedding feast often face criticism from guests.

‘Dalit and tribals responsible for population growth, not Muslims’: SP leader Iqbal Mehmood over proposed population law in UP

On June 27, Samajwadi Party MLA Iqbal Mahmood has blamed Dalit and tribals for population growth in the state of Uttar Pradesh. His statement came in the pretext of CM Yogi-led Uttar Pradesh Government’s decision to examine the feasibility of a population control law in the state.

As per reports, the Law Commission of the state is examining the possibility of enacting a population control law. According to the 2011 census, the population of Uttar Pradesh is around 20 crores. Population wise, it is the largest state in the country. If compared to the world’s population, Uttar Pradesh is only behind three nations in terms of population. Keeping all the aspects in mind, the UP Government wants to control the population growth in the state.

Law against the population is a conspiracy against Muslims – Iqbal Mehmood

On Sunday, SP leader Iqbal Mehmood alleged that the population control law that the state government is planning to enact is a conspiracy against the Muslim community. He said, “Any law against population control will be a conspiracy against Muslims.” He further said, “The rise in the country’s population is due to Dalits and tribals and not because of Muslims”. He alleged that the government is trying to attack the Muslims in the grab of population control.

Questioning why such law is being brought only in a state, he said, “If the BJP thinks only the Muslim population is increasing in the country, a bill for this law should have been brought in the Parliament so that it could be implemented throughout the country. Why is it being brought in UP?” He claimed that Muslims have already understood not to go for more than 2-3 children.

He warned population control law would meet the same fate as the National Register of Citizens (NRC). He said, “The impact of NRC in Assam was more on non-Muslims than on Muslims. The population law will also have the same fate. I fail to understand why the Yogi Adityanath government, which has barely seven months left in the office, is talking of a population control law?”

‘You cannot control Nizam-e-Qudrat’ – Shafiqur Rahman Barq

Samajwadi Party MP Shafiqur Rahman Barq also called the proposed law to control the population a conspiracy against Muslims. He said as the elections are coming closer, BJP is trying to win votes by launching laws that may harm Muslims. “But it will hurt BJP instead of benefitting them,” he alleged. Calling birth of children’ Nizam-e-Qudrat’, Barq said that no one could stop it. He further alleged that any proposal to control the population is illegal and it will create problems in the state.

UP Government to examine draft in two months

As per the reports, the Law Commission of the state is working on a draft that would be ready in two months. Aditya Nath Mittal, chairman of the Law Commission, said that the draft would be prepared and handed over to the state government within two months.

‘Do Bachche Hi Achche’

UP Government has launched an awareness drive named “Do Bachche Hi Achche” ( It is better when there are only two children) movement in the state on June 27. The program will run till July 11, i.e. World Population Day. Under the program, Asha workers will mark families with two or more children. Counselling will be provided for these families to inform them about the benefits of having lesser children. The newlywed couples will be informed about the benefits of smaller families. The government will also run mobile vans across the state to teach people about family planning.
