On the historic day of Ram Mandir Bhoomi Pujan, Islamists suffer a meltdown

Even as the entire country is on the festive mood on the occasion of the historic Bhoomi Pujan of the holy Ram Mandir at Ayodhya, the Islamists in the country have continued their usual act of spewing venom against the Hindus on an auspicious day.

Suffering a huge meltdown on social media platforms, Islamists not only rejected the idea of constructing a Ram Mandir at the historic site but also discredited the Supreme Court judgement on the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid case to claim that site at which Ram Mandir is being built will always be ‘Babri Masjid’ to them, ignoring the reality that they failed to prove it at the court.

In rejecting the Hindu’s claim to the site, the Islamists only assert the Islamist ideology of demolishing religious sites of other faiths and establishing an Islamist regime, where no other faith has any place. However, most Islamists never say it publicly. They share their bigotry under the garb of democratic rights and freedom of expression that is granted to them only in non-Islamic nations.

Asaduddin Owaisi, an elected Member of Parliament, who often preaches about respect for Indian democracy, secularism and constitutional values, yet again exposed his Islamist tendencies on Twitter on Wednesday to claim that disputed structure existed in the past and it will exist in the future as well.

In an indirect threat to the Hindus of the country, Asaduddin Owaisi hinted at reconstruction of Babri Masjid in the future.

Islamist troll masquerading as an ‘intellectual’ – Rana Ayyub also went on to lament that it was not the India she knew.

Arfa Khanum Sherwani of the far-left website ‘The Wire’, also cried on Twitter to ask whether this was the country her ancestors fought for and she does not recognise the country anymore. Many Twitter users pointed it out to her that her ancestors may have fought for Pakistan and she should consider shifting there.

Audrey Truschke, who claims to be a historian and often fantasies about Islamist bigot Aurangzeb as a benevolent, loving person, also suffered a huge meltdown on Wednesday. Truschke said that the Ayodhya Ram Mandir will be a monument that will be a foundation for Hindurashtra and it will represent hate, bigotry and extrajudicial violence.

Former Rajya Sabha MP Shahid Siddiqui attacked his ‘secular-liberal friends’, who according to him tried to ride the Hindutva bandwagon on construction of Ram Mandir. He claimed that his ‘secular-liberal’ friends will suffer at the hands of monster that they created by siding with them. He said secular India was dead.

All India Muslim Personal Law Board threatens Hindus

Earlier, we had reported regarding how the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) had issued a threat against the construction of Ram Mandir by asserting to undo the alleged ‘injustice’ that was meted out to them by the country’s judiciary in the Ram Mandir case.

The controversial Islamic body also said that the demolished Islamic structure ‘Babri Masjid’ will remain a mosque for them till eternity.

Taking to Twitter on Tuesday, the controversial Islamic body not only issued menacing threat over the construction of the temple but hinted at converting back the temple into a Mosque in the future. Comparing the demolished structure to Turkey’s newly converted Mosque ‘Hagia Sophia’, the Muslim Personal Board said, “Babri Masjid was and will always be a Masjid”.

The AIMPLB further said that the Supreme Court has given its verdict but has embarrassed justice. The AIMPLB called Ram Mandir movement as one based on oppression, coercion, intimidation, embezzlement, usurpation and calumny. It added that the movement was purely political and had nothing to do with religion and religious teachings.

Was Narsimha Rao complicit in the demolition of Babri Masjid by Karsevaks? His personal doctor doesn’t think so

Was Narsimha Rao complicit in the demolition of Babri Masjid by Karsevaks? His personal doctor doesn’t think so

When the history of the Ram Janmabhoomi Movement is written, the role of one man will always remain an enigma. A soft-spoken man, P.B. Narasimha Rao was known to have the resolve necessary to enforce his writ when circumstances demanded it. However, on the 6th of December, 1992, the Prime Minister of India famous for ushering in an era of economic reforms watched silently as the Babri Masjid at Ram Janmabhoomi was brought crashing down by Karsevaks with hammer and tongs.

His detractors within the Congress party claim PV Narasimha Rao was hand in gloves with the key conspirators accused in the Babri Masjid Demolition case. It is alleged that he was fully aware of what was to happen and yet, he chose not to act and permitted things to unfold as per Rama’s writ. There appears to be a silent admission of this from the Bhaktas of Rama as well since he enjoys great respect among the top leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party.

It is true, of course, that during the latter stages of his life and even after his death, PV Narasimha Rao enjoyed greater support from the politicians in the opposition camp than within his own party. It is under these circumstances that we must evaluate his actions on the fateful day of the destruction of the Babri Masjid.

It is a known fact that during the months leading to Demolition Day, he had considered dismissing the BJP government in the state. In his book ‘Ayodhya: 6th December 1992’, Narasimha Rao says that it is the prerogative of the Governor to inform the central government in case of law and order situation getting out of hand in the state and seek centre’s intervention.

However, Narasimha Rao said that as recently as five days before the eventual demolition, then Governor of Uttar Pradesh Satyanarayan Reddy communicated to the Centre the general law and order situation, especially on the communal aspect of things, were indeed satisfactory. The governor report, apparently, went so far as to state that although Karsevaks were gathering at Ayodhya in large numbers, they were peaceful.

The report stated, “There are reports that a large number of Kar Sevaks are reaching Ayodhya, but they are peaceful. In my opinion, at present, the time is not ripe for taking any drastic step like the dismissal of the UP government or the dissolution of the state assembly or the imposition of President’s rule in the state.”

The governor had apparently warned that should President’s rule be imposed in Uttar Pradesh, then the disputed structure might be damaged and communal riots may follow nationwide. “The Supreme Court’s refusal even to make the Central government a receiver for the limited and specific purpose of giving adequate protection to the disputed structure at Ayodhya is also a meaningful pointer,” Narasimha Rao stated, attempting to shift some of the blame to the Judiciary as well.

Narasimha Rao also pointed fingers at Rajiv Gandhi. “Indira Gandhi had various plans to develop Ayodhya. The political potential of this emotive issue was not lost on Mrs Gandhi. After her death, her son took over as the Prime Minister. From then on, a series of disastrous steps followed,” he said. Thus, as per Rao, he was bound by constitutional norms and historical precedent. He is said to have told his personal secretary, ‘How could a democratically elected Government be dismissed as a precautionary measure without any valid reason? Would it be constitutional? Won’t we attract the odium of having resorted to a blatantly unconstitutional act?’ 

K. Srinath Reddy, who was his personal physician then, believes that Narasimha was genuinely distressed the day when Babri Masjid was demolished. He recalled how he had rushed to meet Narasimha Rao after he watched the disputed structure being brought down, worried about the Prime Minister who was known to suffer from ailments related to the heart.

Reddy recalled much later, ‘As I expected, his heart was racing away… pulse was very fast… BP had risen. His face was glowering red, he was agitated.’ He stated further, ‘I am fairly convinced as a doctor that his personal reaction to the demolition was one of honest agitation. It is not that of a person who would have planned it or been complicit in it.’

If his physician’s description of his prevailing health situation is accurate, then it does appear that Narasimha Rao had no knowledge of what was to happen. It is known that he was personally trying to mediate a solution between the two sides and was trying to convince leaders of the Hindu organisation to provide assurances that the Masjid would not be damaged.

It is said that Narasimha Rao spent much of the November of 1992 holding secret talks with leaders of the BJP. It could never be said with certainty what was discussed in these talks. It is for these negotiations that many of his detractors believe that he was complicit in what transpired on the 6th of December, 1992.

As it is with a lot of other episodes during the Ram Janmabhoomi Movement, Rao’s role in the demolition too will likely remain an enigma for a long time to come and perhaps, for eternity.

Ram Mandir Bhoomi Pujan: Asaduddin Owaisi hallucinates, claims demolished disputed structure is ‘alive’

Ram Bhakts around the world is celebrating Ram Mandir Bhoomi Pujan. Ayodhya is at its full glory, and it feels no less than Diwali with all the lights, decorations and diyas. However, there is a section of society that is having a meltdown over the celebrations. One such person is AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi.

Owaisi has long made claims that he doesn’t believe in the Supreme Court verdict. He had tried a lot to stir Muslim sentiments and had given inciting statements against the verdict, claiming that the site will ‘always’ remain a Mosque site.

He has posted a tweet with the hashtag #BabriZindaHai conveniently missing out the fact that the disputed structure was built over ruins of an temple.

Owaisi is also angry at Congress

In an interview with Aaj Tak, he lashed out at Priyanka Vadra for posting in favour of Ram Mandir. He said that Congress should openly accept that it believes in Hindutva ideology. “Chilman ke peeche se chup kar ishq karne ki kya zaroorat hai (what is the need of hiding love affair),” he added.

He also posted a tweet quoting Priyanka Vadra’s statement on Ram Mandir. He wrote, “Don’t be shy, please be proud of your party’s contributions to the movement that demolished our Babri Masjid.”

When former Madhya Pradesh CM Kamal Nath posted a message supporting Ram Mandir Owaisi quoted him and said, “You shouldn’t stop here. My suggestion is that every Congress office in India should donate sand for the construction of Mandir in Ayodhya.” It is a big shock for ‘secular-liberal’ supporters of Congress to see them favouring Ram Mandir. It is the same party that denied to accept the existence of Bhagwan Ram in 2007.

A few days back, he tried to persuade PM Modi not to go for Bhoomi Pujan as it is against the “secular image” of the country. He said in an interview with NDTV, “Prime Minister can’t participate in the Bhumi Pujan in his official capacity. Let him go in his individual capacity & ensure that there is no live telecast of his participation.”

Interestingly, Owaisi, who hails constitution and democratic values whenever it suits him, also harbours leaders in his party who claim to ‘eliminate all Hindus in 15 minutes’.

Watch: Footage from November 1990 when Mulayam Singh Yadav ordered firing upon Karsevaks with casualties believed to be in hundreds

In November 1990, two years before the eventual demolition of the Babri Masjid, Mulayam Singh Yadav as the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh ordered firing upon the Karsevaks who had gathered at Ayodhya to demand the construction of a Bhavya Ram Mandir at Janmabhoomi. The brutal order of the Samajwadi Party patriarch, which led to the death of countless Karsevaks, earned him the sobriquet ‘Mullah Mulayam’.

While official figures suggested that 16 Karsevaks were killed by UP Police under Mulayam Singh Yadav, the actual number is believed to have been much higher. In a sting by Republic TV, it was claimed that the Hindus were not even cremated as per their religious but were buried instead. Footage of the manner in which the Police attacked the Karsevaks reveals the manner in which the devotees of Rama were hunted down. (Contains images that some may find disturbing. Viewer discretion recommended.)

The Police in the video above can be seen firing gunshots at the Karsevaks after taking aim with the clear intention of causing grave injuries. The video captures the manner in which the Karsevaks were chanting ‘Jai Shri Ram’ while they were being hunted down by the Police at the behest of Mulayam Singh Yadav.

The above video also shows numerous dead bodies of Karsevaks lying on the streets. It also shows the streets littered with blood. While the quality of the video is not very good, it is good enough to be able to observe the brutality of the events of November 1990. One monk in the video says that hundreds have died due to the police firing.

The video also shows people saying that the Police entered houses in order to hunt Karsevaks. Devotees can be seen weeping and crying over the police brutality that was unleashed on them. In a heartbreaking moment, a devotee says while weeping profusely that they will build the Ram Mandir no matter how much sacrifices they would have to make.

The impact of such indiscriminate slaughter was perhaps most acutely felt on the 6th of December, 1992 when Chief Minister Kalyan Singh made it clear that not a single bullet will be fired at the Karsevaks. Despite the overwhelming brutality of the shooting of November 1990, a conspiracy of silence has developed over the years where knowledge of the massacre of Karsevaks is deliberately sought to be suppressed.

Watch: Mesmerizing photos and videos of Ayodhya Nagri ahead of Ram Mandir Bhoomi Pujan

Ayodhya is all set to witness the once-in-a-lifetime event of Ram Mandir Bhoomi Pujan. After 500 years of struggle, bloodshed, and legal fights, Hindus around the world will finally witness the rise of Ram Mandir once again in Ayodhya. As per the reports, it will take 3.5 years to complete the construction. Yesterday, they also shared some spectacular photos of the proposed structure of the Mandir.

Ayodhya is currently in festive mode, and the place looks mesmerizing with the preparations of Bhoomi Pujan. While the whole country is celebrating the event of Bhoomi Pujan just as if it is Diwali, Ayodhya is glowing with lights, diyas and artwork showcasing the life of Bhagwan Ram. Here are some amazing photographs and videos shared on social media.

Mandir Trust releases the images of Ram Lalla inside the temporary shrine

On March 25, the first day of Chaitra Navratri, Yogi Adityanath, the CM of UP and the Mahant of Gorakhpeeth had shifted the idol of Ram Lalla from the tent to a bulletproof temporary structure made of fibreglass and marble near the site of the Ram Janmabhoomi. Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra, the trust for the temple, has today released the pictures of Ram Lalla Virajmaan, the supreme deity of Ayodhya, with his siblings at the temporary shrine.

Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra, the trust that is managing construction, finalized the date for Bhoomi Pujan a few days back and shared several details about the Mandir. The trust has invited 175 leaders, saints and prominent members of society for the event including PM Narendra Modi and CM Yogi Adityanath.

Signs of time to come? Union Law Minister RS Prasad shares image of Constitution of India first drafted by Dr BR Ambedkar with Lord Ram on it

RS Prasad, Union Minister of Law and Justice, on Wednesday took to Twitter to share an image of the Constitution of India originally drafted by Dr BR Ambedkar with sketch of Lord Ram on it.

The Constitution of India has a sketch of Lord Ram, Mata Sita and Lakshman returning to Ayodhya after killing Ravan in Lanka. The image appears at the beginning of the chapter related to the Fundamental Rights.

“Felt like sharing this with you,” he said while tweeting.

The tweet comes hours before the Bhoomi Pujan of Ram Mandir at Ayodhya, the birth place of Lord Ram, where He finally returned after defeating Ravan. The Mandir is also a symbol of victory of Hindus of a 500-year-old struggle to reclaim the temple which was destroyed and demolished by Mughals.

Further, the tweet comes just days after a petition was filed in the Supreme Court to reinstate the preamble to the constitution as originally drafted by Dr BR Ambedkar. In 1976 when the then Prime Minister of India Indira Gandhi had imposed Emergency, she got the Preamble amended to add ‘socialist’ and ‘secular’ added.

Indira Gandhi changed Constitution drafted by Dr Ambedkar

There have been 104 Amendments to the Indian constitution starting with the first one brought in by Jawaharlal Nehru, first Prime Minister of independent India. Between PM Narendra Modi and ex-PM Atal Bihar Vajpayee, the BJP ruled government has made 20 amendments in total. However, the most far-reaching amendment in the history of independent India was made by none other than Indira Gandhi. The 42nd amendment came in when the opposition was in prison under the draconian rules of Emergency.

‘Situations do not last forever’: All India Muslim Personal Law Board issues a menacing threat on the eve of Ram Mandir Bhoomi Pujan

A day ahead of the historic Bhoomi Pujan ceremony of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) issued a threat against the construction of Ram Mandir by asserting to undo the alleged ‘injustice’ that was meted out to them by the country’s judiciary in the Ram Mandir case.

The controversial Islamic body also said that the demolished Islamic structure ‘Babri Masjid’ will remain a mosque for them till eternity.

Taking to Twitter on Tuesday, the controversial Islamic body not only issued menacing threat over the construction of the temple but hinted at converting back the temple into a mosque in the future. Comparing Babri Masjid to Turkey’s newly converted mosque ‘Hagia Sophia’, the Muslim Personal Board said, “Babri Masjid was and will always be a Masjid”.

Hagia Sophia is a 1500-year-old Orthodox Christian Cathedral in Istanbul, Turkey that was forcefully converted into a mosque recently. Hagia Sophia, which was originally built as a cathedral in 537 AD by Byzantine emperor Justinian I, was believed to be the largest church in the world. However, it was converted into a mosque during the Ottoman rule in 1453.

AIMPLB attacks Supreme Court

Attacking the Supreme Court for its judgement in the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid case, the AIMPLB claimed that the Supreme Court’s verdict allowing the construction of a Ram Temple was “unjust and unfair”.

The statement issued by board general secretary Maulana Mohammad Wali Rahmani on Tuesday, reportedly read, “It has always been our position that the Babri masjid was never built by demolishing any mandir or any Hindu place of worship. The Supreme Court has also affirmed our position in its November 2019 judgment.”

The letter further added, “SC has also said that remnants found after the excavation carried out below the masjid site belonged to some 12th-century structure – that is 400 years before Babri Masjid was constructed.”

The AIMPLB further said that the Supreme Court has given its verdict but has embarrassed justice. The AIMPLB called Ram Mandir movement as one based on oppression, coercion, intimidation, embezzlement, usurpation and calumny. It added that the movement was purely political and had nothing to do with religion and religious teachings.

The AIMPLB was among the litigants in the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid case in the Supreme Court, also noted that according to the Islamic Shariah, “at whichever place a masjid is established, it remains a masjid there forever till eternity. Hence the Babri masjid was a masjid before, is a masjid today and shall Inshallah remain a masjid”.

In the letter, the AIMPLB also appealed to the Indian Muslims not to be disappointed with the Ram Mandir verdict and construction of the temple.

The Supreme Court, had in November last year, in a historic decision, accepted the Hindu claim and handed over the Ram Janmabhoomi site to Hindus to build Ram Mandir and finally end the century-long dispute. The five-judge bench had unanimously come to the decision after weighing the arguments presented by all sides for 40 days.

The Muslims were given a 5-acre site at an alternate location by the government of Uttar Pradesh, as per the SC order.

Ram Mandir Bhoomi Pujan event to be held on August 5, 150 to attend

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be visiting Ayodhya for Bhumi Pujan of Shri Ram Mandir on August 5. The ceremony will be graced by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath among several other invitees.

BJP stalwart and former deputy prime minister LK Advani, who was instrumental in shaping the Ram Mandir movement, is likely to accompany Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the historic event. The Ram Janmabhoomi Tirtha Kshetra has invited 150 guests – including Shiv Sena Supremo Uddhav Thackeray, BJP veterans Murli Manohar Joshi, Home Minister Amit Shah and several CMs, asserting that all rules of social distancing will be followed.

The trust has estimated that construction of the temple will be completed in the next three years i.e by 2023.

Veer Savarkar’s prophecy ‘The day Hindus unite, Congress leaders will wear janeu over the coat’ comes true as they celebrate construction of Ram Mandir

Veer Savarkar’s prophecy ‘The day Hindus unite, Congress leaders will wear janeu over the coat’ comes true as they celebrate construction of Ram Mandir

Hours before the momentous day when Bhoomi pujan ceremony will be performed in Ayodhya, marking the construction of the much-awaited Ram Mandir, several Congress leaders, including Uttar Pradesh General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi, former MP CM Kamal Nath and erstwhile Union Minister Manish Tewari, extended their support for the construction of the temple.

With the leaders of the Congress party, which had once questioned the existence of Lord Ram, suddenly flip-flopping and making a beeline to co-opt the auspicious ceremony of Bhoomi pujan, it is worth recalling the prophetic statements made by Freedom fighter and Hindutva ideologue Veer Savarkar.

Veer Savarkar had predicted Congress leaders will openly demonstrate their Hindu roots one day

Speaking against Congress’ disinformation campaign about a possible alliance between Hindu Mahasabha and Muslim League for the elections in the Sindh province of undivided India on July 10, 1943, Savarkar had said that one day Congress leaders would be forced to propagate Hindu principles by wearing a janeu, not just on their body but also on their coats.

Savarkar meant that the Congress party which tried to peddle lies about a possible alliance between ideologically disparate parties of Hindu Mahasabha and Muslim League, in an attempt to slice away Hindu votes away from the Hindu Mahasabha, will in future have to overtly manifest their Hindu credentials to gain the support of Hindu voters.

Speaking to Vishwas News, Ranjit Savarkar, president of Savarkar memorial in Maharashtra and grandson of Veer Savarkar, confirmed the statement. His statement is also mentioned in volume-8 (historical request) of 10-volume ‘Samagra Savarkar’ on page number 485-89.

Savarkar said, “But I would have been delighted if this comment had been made willingly. Because these extremely disgusting, wicked accusations are to be levelled against the Hindus, I have compelled Hindus in Congress to realise that such accusations harm the interests of Hindus and help the ‘Pakistan-friendly’, ‘League’ and the ‘Muslims’. As I used to say, again and again, Hindus in Congress will have to wear their principles on their sleeves, they will have to wear janeu not only on their body but on their coats as well.”

“But I feel pity for those who are presently incarcerated in the jails and will have to sign the pact of India’s partition with the Muslim League. How would they bring themselves to respect these leaders who sacrificed Hindu interest at the altar of Congress’ half-baked nationality?” Savarkar questioned. (The exact same thing happened four years later in June 1947)

Congress leaders rushing to proclaim their Hindu credentials

A few days ago, Kamal Nath welcomed the construction of the Ram temple. He released a video message on Friday (July 31, 2020) congratulating the people for the construction of Ram Temple. Kamal Nath also claimed in the video that the temple had long been expected and aspired by the people of India and it is being built with the consent of all Indians. In this video, a picture of Lord Hanuman was also seen behind Kamal Nath.

Recently, Kamal Nath had also announced the recital of Hanuman Chalisa in Bhopal. The official Twitter handle of Madhya Pradesh Congress went a step ahead and changed its profile with that of Lord Hanuman and Kamal Nath, in an attempt to highlight their Hindu credentials. Kamal Nath took part in the recital of Hanuman Chalisa organised a day before the Bhoomi pujan ceremony.

Besides Kamal Nath, Priyanka Gandhi also came out in support of the construction of Ram Temple and said that the Bhoomi pujan ceremony will celebrate national unity, brotherhood and cultural congregation.

“Simplicity, courage, restraint, sacrifice, commitment, are the essence of the name Deenbandhu Rama. Ram is with everyone, Ram is with everyone. With the message and grace of Lord Rama and Mother Sita, the Bhoomipujan ceremony of the temple of Ramlala became an occasion for national unity, fraternity and cultural congregation,” Gandhi tweeted.

Another senior Congress leaders also appeared singing a different tune. In a video uploaded on Twitter, Tewari was seen crooning a famous devotional hymn dedicated to Lord Ram.

With senior Congress leaders overtly manifesting their Hindu identity and gushingly associating themselves with a cause that they relentlessly opposed some time back, Veer Savarkar’s prophecy about Congress leaders wearing a janeu and propagating Hindu principles has finally come true.

Hussain Haidry rues inaction by ‘progressive non-Muslims’ for not protesting against the construction of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya

Hussain Haidry rues inaction by ‘progressive non-Muslims’ for not protesting against the construction of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya

A day before the historic Bhoomi pujan of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, Bollywood writer-lyricist Hussain Haidry took to his Facebook page to express his strong disapproval over the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya.

In a Facebook post, Haidry lamented over the fact that “progressive people (non-Muslims)” did not gather in hundreds or thousands and form a movement against the said Mandir in Ayodhya. Haidry evidently also had a problem with the date chosen for the ground laying ceremony of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya as he alluded that August 5 was chosen well in advance to “humiliate Kashmir”. On August 5 2019, the Indian government had abrogated Article 370 and paved the way for the greater integration of Jammu and Kashmir with the Union of India.

Hussain Haidry calls for protest against the Bhoomi pujan ceremony of Ram Mandir

“What stopped them from coining a simple naara saying, “Hum Mandir Nahin Banaaenge” and go physically protest in Ayodhya. What stopped those who wanted neither the temple nor the mosque, but a hospital or a school,” Haidry bewailed.

Haidry also wondered why those people did not start an online campaign and register their protest against the construction of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya.

Essentially, Haidry wanted “progressive people” to unleash chaos and unrest in Ayodhya and stop the Bhoomi pujan ceremony of Ram Mandir. With the top court of the country giving its sanction for the construction of a Ram Mandir at the said site, Haidry, perhaps, was labouring under the belief that a “physical protest” by demonstrators would have forced the government to defer the ground laying ceremony of the Ram Mandir.

Haidry, a quintessential Islamist, appears thoroughly rattled that Hindus would finally reclaim what was originally theirs and rebuild the temple that was demolished by a commander of the marauding Mughal tribe. The fact that one of the most venerated Gods of the Hindu pantheon, Lord Ram, will once again return to his rightful abode drove him up the wall, and he couldn’t stop himself from expressing his frustration over his inability to affect any difference.

Hussain Haidry had earlier called for violence against Hindus

Just like Hussain Haidry tried to foment unrest with his Facebook post, asking people to gather and “physically protest” against the Bhoomi pujan ceremony of Ram Mandir, the lyricist had taken to social media to incite violence by urging people to ‘show courage’ and ‘beat up’ the ‘upper caste’ Hindus, who according to him, were ruining the country. He had asked his people to go to each and every household in their respective colonies and hit all those voting for the BJP with chappals (slippers).

Haidry harbours such pathological hatred for Hindus that he had even proceeded to label all the people belonging to the indigenous faith of the country as ‘terrorists’. He had posted a tweet emphasising on “Hindu Terrorists”. This brazen display of Hinduphobia did not sit well with the netizens and they strongly protested against Haidry’s anti-Hindu tweet. Spooked by the overwhelming backlash, Haidry deactivated his Twitter account altogether.

Earlier, Haidry had also expressed his jihadist urge of killing a person on Twitter. Hussain Haidry, who the ‘liberal-secular’ ecosystem considers to be an emerging poet, in 2012 took to Twitter to unapologetically express his wish to kill people. In another tweet, dated October 2012, Haidry had even composed a poem to fantasize about his dreams of cybercrime and hijacking aeroplanes.

Aditya Thackeray finally breaks his silence on the death of Sushant Singh Rajput and allegations of ‘cover-up’: Here is what he said

Aditya Thackeray finally breaks his silence on the death of Sushant Singh Rajput and allegations of ‘cover-up’: Here is what he said

The mystery into the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput is getting deeper with every passing day. After deep discussions on nepotism and bullying in Bollywood, the case had taken a political discourse. Days after it was reported that a big politician’s son had reportedly attended the party at Sushant Singh Rajput’s residence and allegedly had a spat with him, a night before his purported suicide, son of Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, Aditya Thackeray, has finally broken his silence on the Sushant Singh Rajput case.

Rubbishing all ‘unconfirmed’ reports and theories linking him to the death of the late Bollywood actor, Maharashtra Environment Minister has called it “dirty politics”. Taking to Twitter, Thackeray said that he isn’t linked to the Sushant Singh Rajput death case.

He said if anyone has evidence of any charges, then it should be handed over to Maharashtra Police as they are investigating the matter. 

Attempt of politicising the dead is a blot on humanity: Aditya Thackeray on Sushant Singh Rajput case

In a strongly-worded statement in Marathi, Aditya Thackeray wrote: “Some people are unnecessarily engaging in mudslinging at me and Thackeray family. This is a result of their frustration due to political failure or the success of this government in Maharashtra. This attempt of politicising the dead is a blot on humanity. I have nothing to with matter whatsoever.”

He slammed the “personal remarks” being made against him and the Thackeray family. He also went on to claim that he doesn’t have “any relation” to this matter.

Terming the untimely death of the actor “unfortunate and shocking,” Aditya also came down heavily on those “using” the scenario to gain political brownie points. “Using someone’s death for political gains is inhumane,” Aditya Thackeray said without mincing his words.

Stating that Bollywood is an integral part of Mumbai as a lot of people are dependent on it, Aditya said that he too shares a good bond with many Bollywood actors, which he said, “is not a crime.”

Taking a jibe at the opposition parties, Aditya said that this mudslinging is a result of “political despair” as some couldn’t digest the success of the ruling State Government’s efforts in bringing the COVID-19 pandemic under control.

He concluded his strongly-worded statement by saying that he would never get involved in something that would “drag down the dignity of the state, his political party and his family”.

“As the grandson of Hinduruday Samrat Balasaheb Thackeray, I would like to clarify that I won’t get involved in any such matter which will drag down the dignity of Maharashtra, Shiv Sena and the Thackeray family,” wrote Maharashtra’s Environment Minister.

Reports claim a bigshot politician’s son was present at Sushant Singh Rajput’s flat a night before his suicide

The alleged suicide of actor Sushant Singh Rajput took a completely new turn after his father, KK Singh, filed an FIR against actor Rhea Chakraborty and five others, including three of her family members, for abetment of suicide. Recently, a report by Times Now claimed that an eminent personality was possibly present at the party, a night before Sushant Singh’s demise, alleging that the Mumbai Police report can be compromised.

According to reports, a politician’s son was present at the late actor’s apartment at the party. As per Times Now report, there was a heated argument between the person and Sushant Singh Rajput post which the late actor left the place. Curiously, the CCTV has been dysfunctional since then. Sources claim the police officials are trying to conceal the identity of this person. People close to Sushant Singh Rajput have revealed that there was a party at his apartment and the aforesaid personality was also present there along with others.
