On Tuesday (February 2), Congress MP K Sudhakaran stirred a new row by making casteist remarks against the Kerala Chief Minister and Communist party leader Pinarayi Vijayan, ahead of the upcoming Vidhan Sabha elections.
During a political meet in Kannur, Sudhakaran took a dig at Vijayan for hiring a helicopter for his travel. Labelling the Kerala CM as ‘chethukarude kudumbam’ (belonging to the family of toddy tappers), he said that Vijayan would go down in history as the leader of the working class people, who maintained a luxurious lifestyle. The Congress leader further added that it was upto the Communist Party of India (Marxist) to decide whether it was a matter of honour or disgrace.
“What is Pinarayi’s family? Chethukarude kudumbam. Pinarayi Vijayan, who held the revolutionary flame of the working class from a family of toddy-tappers and led you from the front holding the red flag, where is he now? A CM who rose from the toddy tappers’ family needs a helicopter to travel. He will be the first CM in Kerala to do so,” K Sudhakaran emphasised.
The Casteist undertones of the comments
Sudhakaran’s jibe at Pinarayi Vijayan reeked of casteism. The Kerala CM belongs to the Thiyya or Ezhava community, who were once denied equal opportunities and traditionally worked as ‘toddy tappers.’ The community members are also classified as OBCs (Other Backward Class) by the Government of India.
Interestingly, Sudhakaran is also a member of Parliamentary Standing Committees on Rural Development and Welfare of Other Backward Class. As such, his comments received fierce criticism from all quarters, with many arguing that he could have taken potshots at the Kerala CM’s luxurious lifestyle without resorting to the ‘toddy tapper jibe’. The CPI(M) has said that the Congress leader intended to shame a section of people as an inferior class, who are somehow not worthy of holding a public office.
Sudhakaran justifies his comments, Congress backs him
After the caste row, Sudhakaran emphasised that his comments were not targeted at Vijayan’s caste but rather to his extravagant lifestyle. The comments, made during the Aishwarya Kerala Yatra led by Ramesh Chennithala, put the Congress in a tough spot. Chennithala, Congress MLA and Leader of the Opposition in the Kerala Assembly, mildly criticised Sudhakaran and asked him to refrain from making personal remarks.
However, a strong reaction came from another Congress MLA named Shanimol Usman, who asked Sudhakaran to apologise for his casteist slur. This stirred infighting with the Congress party with Sudhakaran lashing out on both of them. The Congress leaders soon backtracked in order to pacify the situation. While Usman tendered an apology on Facebook, Chennithala stated that the party would never reject Sudhakaran.
In a sudden change of heart, Chennithala said, “Mr. Sudhakaran had merely pointed out that Mr. Vijayan’s public persona as a working-class leader conflicted with his fiscal profligacy as Chief Minister.” Similarly, All India Congress Committee general secretary K. C. Venugopal and Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee president Mullappally Ramachandran also extended their support to Sudhakaran.
The Background of the Helicopter controversy
Sudhakaran’s helicopter jibe was premised on the fact that Pinarayi Vijayan used a helicopter in December 2017 to attend a CPI (M) party meeting in Thrissur, Kerala. In an order passed by the Kerala Disaster Management Department, the government sought to pay for the helicopter ride to the tune of ₹8 lac using state relief fund meant for Cyclone Ockhi.

Following a public outcry, the government rolled back the order and the Kerala CM assured that the outstanding payment would be made from public administration account. The helicopter controversy re-surfaced last year, with the Kerala government making a purchase of a helicopter. In his defence, Pinarayi Vijayan claimed that helicopters were required for disaster management work.
Security has been beefed in Delhi and the NCR after the call for Chakka Jam by farmer leaders, who were also involved in the 26th January insurrection. Along with Delhi police personnel, Paramilitary forces have been deployed in several areas of the Delhi-NCR including border areas.

Around 50,000 security personnel deployed across Delhi-NCR
Around 50,000 personnel of Delhi police, Paramilitary and Reserve Forces have been deployed in the Delhi-NCR region. About 12 metro stations have reportedly been put on alert to close the entry and exit if any disturbance arises.

Security arrangements have also been tightened at the Red Fort to deal with any possible disturbance resulting from the Chakka Jam. It is pertinent to note that during the tractor rally of 26th January, the ‘farmers’, spearheaded by several Khalistanis, had broken their agreement with the Delhi Police and marched inside Red Fort, where they indulged in rampant violence.

Barricades have been also been set up at the Minto Bridge area along with the deployment of the security personnel as part of the preventive measures.

After the horrific violence carried out by the protestors at the Red Fort on the Republic Day, the security forces have taken pre-emptive measures after the ‘farmers representatives’ called for a Chakka Jam to be on February 6. A tractor rally organised by the ‘farmers’ representatives’ on the Republic Day had turned violent despite the ‘farmers’ representatives’ assuring that it would be a peaceful rally. What followed later was unprecedented in the history of independent India. From raising religious flags to attacking security personnel, all tactics were adopted by the protestors to provoke the state.
A complaint has been filed beauty company owned by Rihanna, Fenty beauty, for using mica from mines of Jharkhand that hire child labours, who work in dire conditions.
The complaint was filed by Vinay Joshi of the prominent activist organisation Legal Rights Observatory with the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) seeking an investigation into Rihanna’s company Fenty Beauty’s possible violation of child rights in India.
The complaint asked NCPCR to check whether US pop star’s cosmetic product company, Fenty Beauty brand which procures mica from Jharkhand’s Koderma, Giridih and Nawada has ‘Supply Chain Clearance Certification’ and asked to initiate action against the company if it does not have one.
In his complaint, Joshi attached the IANS report titled “Rihanna Fenty, Fenty Beauty and Blood Mica in India” accusing the US pop star’s beauty product brand using “blood mica” from Jharkhand in which child labourers work in dire conditions.
Joshi said to the NCPCR that every company needs to obtain a certificate to ascertain that mica is free of child labourers. “But media reports say that Fenty Beauty doesn’t have Supply Chain Clearance Certification (SCCC) from either of the two,” the complaint said.
“With this letter, we would like to request you to investigate whether Fenty Beauty is using uncertified mica and if true, then please start appropriate legal action against the company and its owners,” the complaint said.
Rihanna’s company did not conduct mandatory audits, used child labours
Reportedly, Rihanna Fenty Beauty has declared that it did not conduct mandatory audits regarding Suppliers Code of Conduct under the Californian law for human trafficking, slavery and child abuse, which according to many was a way to violate child labour policies.
They added that Rihanna’s Fenty “had the guts to feign compassion for Indian farmers while knowing very well the beauty industry uses illegal child labour in India to mine mica – the most important ingredient of her beauty products!”
Apparently, Fenty beauty is well aware that most of this mica is mined by children of poor farmers in India, who live in hazardous conditions and their health is endangered by their company’s unethical means to earn a profit.
It is rather ironic that Rihanna, who was championing the cause of ‘farmers’ just a few days back, is now accused of promoting child labours to promote her business interests. If these violations are true, it may put Rehana’s company out of business in India.
Most of Rihanna’s $600 million fortune comes from her partnership with (LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton) LVMH, the French luxury goods brand run by Bernard Arnault. Fenty Beauty is a collaboration between LVMH and Rihanna, who also co-owns the makeup brand.
Rihanna does a paid propaganda against India, supports violent protestors
Songwriter Rihanna, who tried to instigate protestors in India by resorting to propagating false propaganda against the Indian government, has now been accused of receiving $2.5 million (Rs 18 crore) by a Public Relations firm that has Khalistani-terror links.
Poetic Justice Foundation (PJF), an organization based in Canada, played a vital role in starting a global campaign against India. Sources from the security establishment said that the campaign had the backing of “political leaders and activists based out of Canada”.
Skyrocket, a PR firm where Khalistani Mo Dhaliwal is a director, paid $2.5 million to pop star Rihanna to tweet favouring the farmer protests. In Indian currency, that is well over Rs.18 crores. The sources also believe that the toolkit shared by climate activist Greta Thunberg was “fed to her” as part of a “larger conspiracy to create disharmony” in India.
Individuals such as Mo Dhaliwal, Marina Patterson, worked as a relationship manager in PR firms, Anita Lal, director of World Sikh Organisation in Canada, and Canadian MP Jagmeet Singh. Anita Lal is also a co-founder of the Poetic Justice Foundation, an organisation that features prominently in the toolkit shared by Greta Thunberg. The current episode began after Rihanna tweeted in favour of the farmer protests wondering why people were not talking about it.
The niece of USA Vice President Kama Harris, Meena Harris, has been tweeted unhinged ever since the ‘toolkit’ was tweeted by Greta Thunberg, exposing a global nexus, spearheaded by Khalistanis, to tarnish India by supporting the protest and the violent insurrection that followed in the national capital on the 26th January 2021.
Meena Harris, who led the foreign intervention along with a few other international influencers such as Rihanna, former porn-actress Mia Khalifa and child protestor Greta Thunberg, is now descending into madness after the Indian government intervened at the right time to prevent foreign vested interests from creating chaos on the streets of the national capital.
While Meena Harris and her likes support the violent insurrection in India and continue to fan unrest, Harris has been extremely distressed about Indians taking to the streets to protest against her interference democratically, by burning her photograph.
In a staggering display of hypocrisy, Meena Harris said that it was weird to see a photo of herself burned by an ‘extremist’ mob in India. Indulging in fear-mongering, Meena Harris claimed that if someone could burn her effigy, what would these ‘extremists’ do to people like her in India.
It would be pertinent to reiterate here that Meena Harris, who finds a completely peaceful protest against herself a display of ‘extremism’, has been supporting a violent insurrection in India where Khalistanis attacked and injured over 400 policemen and used swords, knives and stones to capture the Red Fort and raise a Sikh flag in an effort to express support for a Khalistan.
Tweets by Meena Harris on India, farm laws and the violent insurrection on Republic Day
Further, Meena Harris resorted to spreading fake news as she claimed that one 23-year-old labour rights ‘activist’ Nodeep Kaur was arrested, tortured and ‘sexually harassed’ in police study.
It would bode well to delve a little into this claim, made by Meena Harris, to tarnish the reputation of India.
This claim was actually made by Nodeep Kaur’s sister to Left propaganda outlet, The Quint. Nodeep Kaur’s sister told The Quint “she was beaten up brutally by male police officers and had injury marks on her private parts”.
However, the Haryana Police had summarily denied these claims and called them baseless.
Nodeep Kaur was associated with the Mazdoor Adhikar Sangathan union, which had been participating in the farmers’ protests. According to reports, Nodeep Kaur was arrested by the Haryana Police from the farmers’ protest site at the Singhu border on January 12 and it was the court that rejected her bail plea on February 2. Hence, while Meena Harris almost immediately peddled the claims published by The Quint, she refused to give any weightage to the police denial, and not just that, she even makes it sound like she was detained for 20 days solely by the police, thereby, undermining India’s judiciary.
Interestingly, when the insurrection happened at the Capitol Hill, Meena Harris and her aunt, Kamala Harris were vociferously in support of jailing those who participated in the insurrection and aided the violence even remotely. However, when it comes to India, she feels that she should be in a position to disregard what the police says, undermine the judiciary and make slight of grave allegations against Nodeep Kaur, like that of extortion and attempt to murder.
Meena Harris did not stop there. Continuing her propaganda, Kamala Harris’s crony also passed off false information saying Indian media had glorified protests against her by writing headlines such as “Brave Indian men burned pictures of women who support farmers”, which according to them was normal.
Tweets by Meena Harris on India, farm laws and the violent insurrection on Republic Day
As we looked into it carefully, not a single media outlet had published any such headline supporting the nationalists who have now stood up to fight and protect the national interests from the attacks of foreign vested interests.
In fact, contrary to Meena Harris’s claims, most Indian ‘left-liberal’ media are busy gaslighting the nationalists for standing up for what is right. They are busy propagating the lies of foreign vested interests and its cronies inside the country while discrediting Indians, who are protesting against any foreign intervention into the country’s internal affairs.
What came next was perhaps most telling.
Meena tweeted, “This isn’t just about agricultural policy. It’s also about the persecution of a vocal religious minority. It’s police violence, militant nationalism, and attacks on labor rights. It’s global authoritarianism. Don’t tell me to stay out of your affairs. These are all of our issues”.
Tweets by Meena Harris on India, farm laws and the violent insurrection on Republic Day
In this tweet, essentially tells her audience that the facts on the ground pertaining to the farmer protest and the violent insurrection in India hardly matter. What matters is bringing down a government that she and perhaps her aunt, do not agree with. Interestingly, the tirade against ‘Nationalism’ does not only come from Harris. It is pertinent to note that George Soros had set up a billion-dollar fund to take on ‘nationalism’ and leaders like PM Modi.
This tweet almost amounts to an admission that Harris is actively trying to interfere in India and influence domestic politics. Not only that, she is supporting violent insurrections in India to bring down a democratically elected government.
It is pertinent to note here that the ‘toolkit’ tweeted by Greta Thunberg categorically said that they want to disrupt the ‘chai-yoga’ image of India. We had theorised that chai and yoga were actually codes for PM Modi and UP CM Yogi Adityanath. It would seem like Meena Harris is following the ‘toolkit’ to the letter and indulging in spreading lies to tarnish the image of India, its leaders and any person who does not conform to her Left views. The recent rant by Meena Harris only proves that she is perhaps a racist who’d rather see India burn while advocating that the US police takes action against the perpetrators of the violent insurrection at Capitol Hill.
Meena Harris – a hypocrite who has no knowledge of Indian farm bills
Meena Harris, who seems to have no idea about the intent of farm reforms initiated in the country, had joined the global propagandists to oppose the new farm laws ever since it was passed in September 2020.
Just like the fellow foreign influencers, Meena Harris resorted to propagating misinformation by claiming that she was “outraged” by “paramilitary violence against farmer protesters” in New Delhi at a time when there is evidence that highlight how protests unleashed riots in the streets of the national capital and brutally attacked the police personnel injuring more than 400 cops.
Tweets by Meena Harris on India, farm laws and the violent insurrection on Republic Day
Meena Harris, who has a habit of flaunting her ties with United States Vice President Kamala Harris, has now gone to the extent using rabid Islamists and anti-India voices to meddle into Indian affairs.
Her timeline is full of tweets and posts about Indian ‘farmer’ protests, which is not only devoid of facts but also whitewashing crimes of rioters who carried out insurrection against the Indian state on the Republic Day.
Tweets by Meena Harris on India, farm laws and the violent insurrection on Republic Day
Harris’ anti-India rants by referring into Indian leadership as ‘Fascist dictators’ comes even as the US administration themselves have welcomed the reforms initiated by the Indian government to state that the farm laws are aimed at “improving the efficiency of Indian markets” and attracting “greater private sector investment” in agriculture.
Meena Harris – a crony of Biden administration who uses Kamala Harris to get things done
The 36-year-old Stanford and Harvard Law graduate Harris gained prominence in the United States only after Kamala Harris decided to throw her hat into the Presidential race a few years ago. Meena Harris has been accused by many for using her political links to further her business interests in the last few years.
Reportedly, Meena Harris has authored two books – Ambitious Girl and the other Kamala and Maya’s Big Idea. Meena used the name of Kamala Harris to sell her books, which went on to become bestsellers. She also started a clothing line – Phenomenal and co-founded a production company after the November 2020 election.
Interestingly, Meena – a ‘champion’ for the cause of underprivileged, flew to the Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ inauguration last month on a private plane owned by a donor to Biden’s campaign.
Meena Harris uses Kamala Harris ‘story for success’ to sell her products and it is being said that Meena Harris’s success only came after she began to exert her relationship with Kamala Harris. From selling “Kamala Harris Swimsuit”, “Kamala Tank”, to marketing “Kamala T-shirt”, Meena has gone to lengths to make money using her aunt’s influence.
It is widely reported in US media that Meena Harris has become a pain for Biden’s administration due to her shady deals. Her constant interference into India’s domestic affairs could soon become the another ‘Meena problem’ for the Biden administration.
Bear Grylls, the host of popular wildlife show ‘Man vs Wild with Bear Grylls’ wrote a Facebook post yesterday recalling his experience with Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the shooting of his show with him as the guest. PM Modi had made a guest appearance on his show in 2019 and the episode went on to become one of the most widely watched shows on television.
Had promised the Indian Secret Service that he would hardly get his feet wet: Bear Grylls on PM Modi
In his post, Grylls shared a picture of himself with PM Modi in which the two can be seen sitting on the ground with their clothes soaked with water. Grylls captioned the picture as “One of my favourite photos”. He wrote that the two were sharing a cup of tea after a jungle adventure together. Grylls said that he had assured the Indian Secret Service that “he (PM Modi) would hardly get his feet wet…”. “…well, that didn’t work out so well!”, he jokingly added.
Bear Grylls will be revealing similar stories in his upcoming autobiography
Referring to a raft in the picture, Grylls said that he had made the raft himself for the two of them but it almost sank the moment PM Modi climbed in it and so he got down from the raft and swam alongside. “This moment reminds me of how the wild is the ultimate leveller. We are all the same behind the titles and masks. Just the two sharing tea and trying to stay warm”, Grylls wrote in his post telling that all such stories would be part of his upcoming autobiography named ‘Never Give Up’.
PM Modi’s appearance at the show
PM Modi appeared on the Man vs Wild in August 2019. After it was aired on 12th August Discovery Channel, the show became the highest trending televised event not just in India but worldwide. Grylls called the show with PM Modi a huge privilege to be on an adventure in an Indian forest with the Indian Prime Minister. He appreciated PM Modi’s vision for India and the youth of the country. He added that spending time with PM Modi showed him how beautiful and vibrant India is.
The international vendetta against India has intensified ever since the likes of singer-write Rihanna, environmentalist Greta Thunberg, former porn star Mia Khalifa and USA Vice President Kamala Harris’ niece came to the rescue of the anti-farm law protestors. The propaganda machinery has been desperate to stir unrest in India and escalate India’s internal matter to the international level.
Amidst the hullabaloo, former Dutch Ambassador to India, Fons Stoelinga has extended his support to the Union government. While sharing a picture of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the ex-diplomat tweeted, “In reality, they’re not after me (PM Modi). They’re after you. I am just the way.”
The poster is a rather popular poster with supporters of Prime Minister Modi where the message essentially says that while the global Left ecosystem seems to target Prime Minister Narendra Modi, their real intention behind the negative campaign is not to malign the PM per se, but to malign Indians. They only malign the Prime Minister because he stands between the global Left cabal and Indians as a shield.
The poster shared by the former Dutch Ambassador comes at a time when the global conspiracy against India is just about ravelling after Greta Thunberg tweeted a ‘toolkit’ that details how to attack India over farm laws. As we reported, the ‘toolkit’ was prepared by avowed Khalistanis and had an intricate plan to target India.
Similarly, Conservative Party MP from the United Kingdom, Bob Blackman, also extended his support to India’s farm laws. While shutting up the international propaganda machinery that has been relentlessly targeting the historic laws, he posted a ‘blithering idiot’s guide to India’s Agri reforms’.
Blackman added, “There has been much social media coverage around the Farmers Protest in India. Very useful guide to the legislation and the impact on farmers.” Bob Blackman is a Conservative Party politician and a member of the UK Parliament from Harrow East constituency. He was felicitated with the Padma Shri Award in January 2020.
MEA issues statement after sensationalist social media comments
The Ministry of External Affairs went on to say that “The temptation of sensationalist social media hashtags and comments, especially when resorted to by celebrities and others, is neither accurate nor responsible”. Anurag Srivastava, Official Spokesperson, Ministry of External Affairs, said in the statement that the Parliament of India passed the Agriculture Laws after a full debate and discussion.
These reforms will give expanded market access, provide greater flexibility to farmers and pave the way for economically and ecologically sustainable farming. “Respecting the sentiments of the protestors, the Government of India has initiated a series of talks with their representatives. Union Ministers have been part of the negotiations, and eleven rounds of talks have already been held.” He added.
Greta Thunberg Files and anti-India propaganda
On February 2, Greta Thunberg inadvertently revealed the sinister global campaign against India after she shared a ‘Toolkit’ for those who want to support the ongoing ‘farmer protests’ in the country.
On first glance, what the documents revealed was that the farmers’ protest and the support it seemed to get from various quarters was in no way organic, as many wanted Indians to believe. As we reported, the documents tweeted by Greta Thunberg revealed that the plan was afoot since November 2020, at the very least.
In one of the linked documents, titled ‘Solidarity with Indian farmers – Twitter storm’ contains meticulous planning about the tweets to be posted to ‘garner international attention’ to the ‘farmer protest’. We already reported how that document proved that Greta Thunberg and Rihanna did not tweet support for the farmers spontaneously, but the tweet was planned well in advance.
Yogi Adityanath had once declined an invitation by Mahant Avaidyanath to become his disciple, a recent report by Amar Ujala has said. The report details the circumstances under which the current Mahant of Gorakhnath Muth consented to become his Guru’s disciple.
Mahant Avaidyanath was still in search of a disciple he could delegate his duties to in his absence. After him, that disciple was to pick up the mantle and carry forward the proud tradition of the Gorakhnath Muth.
In October 1993, Mahant Avaidyanath was admitted to a hospital receiving treatment for issues related to his heart. It was then that Yogi Adityanath, then Ajay, went to meet the saffron robed monk. He was 21 years old then. When his soon to be Guru saw the young Ajay standing before him, he looked at him expectantly.
Mahant Avaidyanath told him that he had dedicated his life towards the Ram Janmabhoomi Movement but still had not been able to choose his disciple. What would happen to the movement if something untoward were to happen to him, the 74-year old Mahant asked the young man
Hearing the sagely man speak, Yogi Adityanath told him that he would visit Gorakhpur soon and assured the monk that he will recover quickly. When the young Ajay told his mother that he was going to Gorakhpur, his mother assumed that he was traveling there for some job. His family came to know about it only six months later.
Mahant Avaidyanath played a critical role in ensuring the success of the Ram Janmabhoomi Movement. His predecessor, Mahant Digvijaynath had made great contribution towards the same as well. Yogi Adityanath had called the construction of the Ram Mandir at Ayodhya his life’s objective. Perhaps, it is only fitting that it is his during his Chief Ministerial tenure that the construction of the Bhavya Mandir has begun.
An article published in Time Magazine on 4th February has caused a huge stir, as it detailed the campaign behind ensuring the U.S. Presidential Election victory for Joe Biden and defeat for Donald Trump. The article, titled “The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election”, describes an ‘informal alliance’ between Left Wing Activists and Business Titans in America formed on Election Day, with the goal of ‘opposing Trump’s assault on democracy’.
The article in question explicitly states that there was a ‘conspiracy unfolding behind the scenes’ between left-wing activists and business giants.
It states, “There was a conspiracy unfolding behind the scenes, one that both curtailed the protests and coordinated the resistance from CEOs. Both surprises were the result of an informal alliance between left-wing activists and business titans. The pact was formalized in a terse, little-noticed joint statement of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and AFL-CIO (American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations) published on Election Day. Both sides would come to see it as a sort of implicit bargain–inspired by the summer’s massive, sometimes destructive racial-justice protests–in which the forces of labor came together with the forces of capital to keep the peace and oppose Trump’s assault on democracy.”
The article goes on, seemingly expressing joy, with the alliance between left-wing activists and business giants. It says, “That’s why the participants want the secret history of the 2020 election told, even though it sounds like a paranoid fever dream–a well-funded cabal of powerful people, ranging across industries and ideologies, working together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information. They were not rigging the election; they were fortifying it. And they believe the public needs to understand the system’s fragility in order to ensure that democracy in America endures.”
The article goes further, and explicitly credits the efforts of this shadowy campaign, in changing voter systems and voter laws. The article says, “Their work touched every aspect of the election. They got states to change voting systems and laws and helped secure hundreds of millions in public and private funding”.
The article caused a stir on the social media website Twitter, where a tweet featuring excerpts of the article went viral. The article was cited as vindication by Donald Trump supporters, who have alleged that the 2020 Presidential Election was marred by election rigging and voter fraud. On 11th December, 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court dismissed a suit by the State of Texas contesting election results in four states. Therefore, no election rigging or voter fraud allegation has been proven in a court of law.
The timely intervention of nationalists and the Indian government to prevent foreign vested interests from creating chaos on the streets of the national capital seems to have caused a massive heartbreak for the left-liberals and its troll ecosystem, who are now coming up with unique ways to target the nationalists for standing up for the country at such tough times.
With Modi government stepping at the right time to issue a stern warning to foreign influencers and several ‘Indians’ plotting to defame the country internationally by propagating lies, it induced much-needed energy in the citizens of the country to fight and protect the national interests from the attacks of foreign vested interests.
Several concerned citizens have hit the streets to condemn foreign influencers’ devious attempts and burnt their effigies as a mark of protests. Most importantly, the protests against these perennial chaos-instigators were peaceful and democratic. However, strangely some of ‘Indians’ seems to have a problem against people condemning foreign vested interests.
Swara Bhasker, a former junior actress in Bollywood and now a full-time troll, took to Twitter on Thursday to condemn the burning of effigies of song-writer Rihanna, child protestor Greta Thunberg and former porn-star Mia Khalifa. Sharing an image of a protest that occurred in Delhi on Thursday, Swara Bhasker resorted to downplay Greta Thunberg’s influence by citing her age.
According to Swara Bhasker, Greta was just 18 years old and that did not give people a right to burn her effigies. Ironically, Swara Bhasker was falling to the very same 18-year Greta Thunberg’s feet just a few days back, glorifying her despite Greta being a ‘child’.
Swara Bhasker, who is now championing the cause of child-protestor Greta Thunberg, in fact, has no moral right to make a moral claim on behalf of global propagandist by citing her young age as the former junior actress in Bollywood has a history of abusive behaviour towards young kids.
It must be remembered that Swara Bhasker, who spends most of her time on social media abusing people, was caught abusing a child actor. In an episode of popular comedy show ‘Son of Abish’ on YouTube, daughter of former Censor Board member Ira Bhasker, Swara Bhasker had referred to a child actor as ‘chu**ya’.
Describing one of her initial ad shoots, Swara explained that she was confronted with a four-year-old child actor, who called her ‘aunty’. Responding to the child, Bhasker, in the show, said that she called the child ‘chu**ya’ in her head. “Children are basically evil, right?” she said while the host of the show Abish agreed to it.
Swara Bhasker stands in support of child-doxing accused
Swara Bhasker had also stoked a massive controversy after she had openly extended her support to individuals, who are accused of online harassment of girl child.
On August 7, co-founder of propaganda website Alt News, Mohammed Zubair had indulged in an online spat with a Twitter user Jagdish Singh. The AltNews co-founder targetted a minor girl in his Twitter fight with this social media user. Instead of directly replying to the user, Zubair had brazenly referred to a minor girl seen in the profile picture of the user Jagdish Singh, presumably his granddaughter.
After Zubair had highlighted the minor girl seen in the photo, Islamists had started to issue rape threats to the girl. Zubair’s tweet came under heavy criticism from social media users who accused him of shamelessly using a child to get back at a critic.
Rather than condemning the act of accused child-doxer and harasser Zubair, Swara Bhasker had shamelessly extended her support to the accused.
Many left-liberals are now flooding Twitter with similar propaganda just as Swara Bhasker by citing Greta Thunberg’s age to tone down her crimes against the country. As it suits their political agenda, the left-liberals are even willing to collide with anti-India forces, who are trying to create instability in the country.
Rohini Singh, another troll and a notorious fake news peddler, also resorted to highlighting Greta’s teenage to target the Indian government for taking action against the child protestor. For the likes of Rohini Singh, the 18-year-old Greta Thunberg indulging in acts creating national security scare is not a matter of concern, however, the government’s action against people responsible for sharing a ‘ToolKit’ is objectionable.

Vishnu Som, a news anchor at far-left propaganda machinery NDTV, also tweeted a similar tweet pointing out Greta’s age to create a wave of sympathy for the child protestor.
The likes of pro-AAP Dhruv Rathee and far-left ‘activist Prashant Bhushan also joined the race to absolve the crimes of Greta Thunberg by targeting the Indian government.
The liberals who are now lamenting about Indians uniting against the conspiracy plotted by the foreign vested interests by citing Greta’s age, were the ones who had also trolled a 16-year old girl who had challenged JNU’s far-left anti-India propagandist Kanhaiya Kumar to an open debate over his allegations on Prime Minister Modi.
In March 2016, Jhanvi had challenged JNU’s Kanhaiya Kumar to an open debate over his allegations on Prime Minister Modi. Following that, she was mercilessly trolled on Twitter for questioning the new ‘hero’ who had just ‘challenged Modi’.
It looks like the age of child-protestors such as Greta Thunberg was never an issue for Swara Bhasker when it was convenient for them. As Indians have realised the nefarious designs of Greta Thunberg and are condemning for the same, the liberals now audaciously fall back to cite her age to whitewash her crimes.
Strangely, most of the left-liberals are resorting to the same line of argument of citing her age in an effort to protect Greta Thunberg. It is yet to be known whether this is just a coincidence or a set of instructions delivered to Indian left-liberals in the from another ‘Toolkit’.
With 2021 West Bengal Assembly election inching closer, the fierce political battle between the ruling Trinamool Congress and the Bhartiya Janata Party is at its height. Last month, the former Trinamool Congress MLA from Santipur Arindam Bhattacharya had joined the BJP in the presence of national general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya and other leaders. The MLA has now allegedly been getting death threats, warning him to leave the Nadia district’s Shantipur in “seven days.”
News agency ANI shared a picture where a message written in Bengali read: “Leave Shantipur within 7 days or you’ll be responsible for your murder.”
WB: Death threats allegedly given to BJP’s Arindam Bhattacharya to leave Shantipur.
“Leave Shantipur within 7 days or you’ll be responsible for your murder,”written on a wall.
He says,”I accept challenge, I’ll not leave Shantipur.”
“Trinamool Congress has realised that people no longer support their party. Therefore, they are trying to create an atmosphere of fear. This is the only way out. Therefore, by means of the poster and wall painting, I am being threatened. Even last month a similar threat was given to me,” Bhattacharya claimed.
Speaking on the police apathy under CM Mamata Banerjee’s regime, the Shantipur MLA furthered that the media had highlighted the issue of death threats, but no action was taken by the police. “This is a way of encouraging anti-social elements. Now, the legislator is being threatened to leave Santipur in seven days,” he said.
Bhattacharya said he will not get scared from these threats, adding that “I accept this challenge.”
TMC leaders in West Bengal switching to BJP
The political turmoil within the Trinamool Congress, triggered by the resignation of former state minister and a close associate of Mamata Banerjee, Suvendu Adhikari, in the month of December, has obviously ruffled the party supremo Mamata Banerjee who is eyeing a third consecutive term in power. Meanwhile, BJP, which made successful inroads in the state during 2019 Lok Sabha elections, is all set to overthrow the TMC government in WB. Until now, 17 MLAs of the Trinamool Congress and one TMC MP have crossed over to the BJP in recent times.
Realising that Trinamool Congress may go to any extent in its desperation to retain powers in Bengal, a delegation of West Bengal Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders led by Rajya Sabha MP Swapan Dasgupta has written to Election Commission urging it to “deploy members of only Central Police Forces (CPF), duly trained to ensure fairness, dignity, and sanctity of the process.”

Meanwhile, HM Amit Shah is scheduled to attend another yatra from Coochbehar on February 11.
BJP West Bengal president Dilip Ghosh had announced plans to roll out five ‘Parivartan Yatras’ across West Bengal from February 6. “Five ‘yatras’ have been decided till now. The last one will go from Kakdwip to Kolkata,” Ghosh told ANI after a meeting members of the party’s core committee at his residence in Delhi, adding that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be invited for the conclusion of the last Rath Yatra.
He further said permission had been sought for the rath yatras from the state government, and if denied, the party may go to court.
