Vikas Dubey killed in an encounter
The notorious gangster Vikas Dubey, who was arrested yesterday from Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, was killed in an encounter in Kanpur in the early morning on Friday. According to the reports, the encounter broke out between Vikas Dubey and the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (STF) after the gangster tried to flee upon reaching Kanpur.
Vikas Dubey, who was arrested from Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh on Thursday, was being brought to Kanpur on Friday morning. As the Uttar Pradesh STF convoy reached Kanpur, Vikas Dubey tried to flee, resulting in an encounter.
Riot convicted Congress leader Hardik Patel has been appointed as the working president of Gujarat Congress. According to a statement issued by the All India Congress Commttee, the controversial politician has been appointed as the Working President of Gujarat Pradesh Congress Committee by party president Sonia Gandhi with immediate effect.
Apart from being convicted in a riot case, Patel is also facing several other cases, and is currently on bail in these cases. In July 2018, he was found guilty of causing a riot in 2015 during the Patidar agitations in Gujarat. The Patidar agitation had brought the state to a standstill in 2015 as widespread incidents of violence and clashes had caused intense law and order situations. A total of 9 people had died and the Army had to be deployed to maintain peace.
Hardik Patel and two others were convicted under IPC sections of 147, 148, 149, 427 and 435, and they were sentenced for two-year jail term and also was fined Rs. 50,000 along with the imprisonment.
In January this year he was arrested for failing to appear before a trial court in connection with a sedition case. Hardik Patel was booked by the Crime Branch in 2015 under sedition charges over his provocative remarks where he had allegedly asked his supporters to kill policemen rather than commit suicide for the cause of reservation.
In 2015, Patel had formed Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS), to demand OBC status for the Patiday community. He had supported Congress in the 2017 assembly elections in Gujarat. And in March 2019, he had joined the Congress party.
In the absence of a local Islamic ‘hero’ and a long-standing identity crisis, Pakistanis have been searching for their roots in Turkey now. The TV series, ‘Ertugrul’ has received an overwhelming response in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. In a conservative society ridden with illiteracy, orthodoxy and skewed understanding of ‘modesty’, Pakistanis have time and again failed to distinguish between ‘real’ and ‘reel life’.
A glimpse of the regressive mindset that dominates the patriarchal society of Pakistan was on full display, in the comment section of the Turkish actress Esra Bilgiç. Her mistake was that she played the role of Halime Hatun in Ertugrul. It came as a ‘culture shock’ to Pakistanis when they discovered that the actress was distinct in her personal life from the role that she played in the TV series.
Halime Hatun is a historical character from 13th century, and accordingly, Esra Bilgiç was seen in traditional Turkish attire in the TV series.
When Esra uploaded a picture of her in a black tight-fitting dress on Instagram, Pakistanis were triggered in the comment section. Referring to her dress, a user (@hamzi1119) enquired, “I don’t understand why do people love to share their half-nude pictures on internet!!! What is the logic behind it?”
Another enlightened Pakistani named Umar Shah concluded that her dress was ‘bad’ and that she should get rid of it. A user (@_.abdullah._xx) asks her as to why her dupatta is missing in the picture.
Another Pakistani man wrote, “What are you doing? My Halima cannot be like this. I want to see you as a modest woman. Please revert back to the same Halima that you were in the TV series. That way, I can accept you for marriage.”
Another patronising Pakistani, Haris Afridi, stated that she had become a ‘princess’ now and pleaded her to refrain from wearing tight-fitting clothes. “I am your big fan. Please marry me,” he proposed.
Two days prior to posting her picture in the black dress, the Ertugrul actress had uploaded a picture of her in bikini, standing on a surfboard. Anticipating the backlash, she had turned off her comments in advance. However, Pakistanis slut-shamed her for her beachwear in another post.
An Instagrammer (@zuljank) complained, “Your clothes are getting smaller day by day. I saw your beach photos. He further requested the Turkish actress to delete ‘that’ kind of photos from the app. Another user (@sayyeda_nh) further wrote, “You don’t know how much I hate you after seeing your nudge (nude) picture… You have crossed all limits.” The person enquired whether she belonged to a Muslim family at all. With a stern message, the account cautioned, “It is good that you turned off your comment section on that nude picture otherwise (you know what would have happened).”
Ertugrul breaks all record in Pakistan
The Muslim world had been drooling over Resurrection: Ertugrul, a Turkish television series based on the father of the founder of the Ottoman dynasty. In fact, Ertugrul has broken all records in Pakistan. Engin Altan Düzyatan, who played the lead in the series, even thanked the Pakistanis for their splendid effort, and reportedly the cast of the series is planning a visit to Pakistan this year. The popularity of the television series had been such that local Pakistani entertainers were feeling threatened by the airing of Ertugrul in Pakistan. The response from Pakistanis was not surprising given that Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan was cheer-leading for it. He claimed that the series would make Pakistanis learn about Islamic history and ethics.
From the 24th of February to the 25th of February, Delhi burnt with perhaps one of the worst anti-Hindu riots that the country has seen in recent times. As many as 53 people were killed and hundreds injured in the riots that were planned, organised, masterminded and implemented with clinical precision by the Islamists. One of the main protagonists of the sinister story is Tahir Hussain, the AAP leader who spearheaded the Delhi riots in which IB staffer Ankit Sharma was murdered brutally by his mob and several Hindu properties were burnt to ashes. Chargesheet has been filed against Tahir Hussain and his role in the Delhi riots.
The chargesheet pertaining to FIR number 114 focuses on the role of Tahir Hussain and his accomplices in the burning of several Hindu shops in the Khajuri Khas area. It outlines how Tahir Hussain planned and implemented the riots with clinical precision and specifically targeted Hindus and their properties in the area.
This specific chargesheet pertains to the burning of a shop called Aman e-rickshaw belonging to Harsh Trading Company on the 25th of February 2020. The complainant had said that he had suffered a loss amounting to at least Rs 30 lakhs when an Islamist mob burnt the shop to the ground and stole anything that they could lay their hands on.
Excerpt of the chargesheet
The investigation clearly revealed that Tahir Hussain had instigated the mob on both the days claiming that Hindu people had killed a number of Muslims and had set their shops on fire at Sherpur Chowk and that the time had come to not let any Hindu go scot free.
In the chargesheet, several other details were revealed regarding the conduct of Tahir Hussain and how he organised and instigated the riots:
Tahir Hussain had planned the riots with Umar Khalid and Khalid Saifi back on 8th January during a meeting at Shaheen Bagh
There were several transactions from shell companies that were suspicious. The chargesheet details several such transactions from Tahir Hussain’s account that indicate that he had started receiving money to organise the riots. Some of the money was even routed through shell companies
Umar Khalid had assured Tahir Hussain that financially, Islamist outfit PFI (Popular Front of India) was ready to help in organizing the riots.
Police say that Hussain, who had deposited his licensed pistol with 100 rounds in the Khajuri Khas police station in January, got it released only on 22 February – that is, just before the riots broke out. The chargesheet says that during investigation, Hussain failed to give a satisfactory reply to the police regarding the release of his weapon. The chargesheet says, “Only 64 live cartridges and 22 empty cartridges were recovered at his instance. During interrogation, he could not give account of the remaining 14 live cartridges and 22 empty/fired cartridges, when and where the same were fired/used.”
During the intervening night of 24 and 25 February, Hussain had shifted his family to his parental house in Mustafabad citing safety, but continued to stay at his building “so that he could keep an eye on the whole situation and stand with the Muslims against the Hindus on the next day as per plan and criminal conspiracy”.
Tahir Hussain made several PCR calls as a decoy, to ensure that his involvement in the riots is not revealed
Tahir Hussain had ensured that the CCTV cameras were turned off so the evidence is not recorded
While these details on their own are rather staggering and point towards a deep conspiracy to target Hindus, the Disclosure Statement which was narrated and signed by Tahir Hussain on the 5th of May 2020, in his own words, reveal a far more sinister design.
In the Disclosure Statement signed by Tahir Hussain, the AAP councillor confesses that during the nation-wide protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act, he got the information that there were going to be some rallies in support of CAA as well. After receiving this information, he met with others and hatched a conspiracy to “teach them a lesson”.
Disclosure Statement signed by Tahir Hussain
Further, Tahir Hussain confesses in the Disclosure Statement that per this conspiracy that he had hatched, he chose his own house as a launchpad for the riots since it was a high-rise in the area. Tahir Hussain says that he also chose his own house as a launchpad because, in his house, construction was already being done and hence, him collecting stones and bricks for the riots would not raise suspicion.
He confesses that he and his co-conspirators had started collecting stones, bricks and other ammunition, well in advance so that they could teach those who were in support of the CAA a lesson when the time was right. To that end, 2-3 days before the riots broke out, he had also got his licensed pistol released from the police station. While gearing up for the riots and collecting ammunition to teach Hindus a lesson, Tahir Hussain says that he had instructed his supporters to be “ready for anything and in every manner” and also ensure that all the CCTV cameras, private and government installed, in the area, were broken so the evidence of the riots could not be captured. It is to be kept in mind that all of this was done well before the anti-Hindu riots broke out in Delhi.
Tahir Hussain admits that he, along with his brother Shah Alam, Arshad, Abid, Shahid, Irshad and several others were present at his residence. His office space is also in the same building from where the riots were launched. Tahir Hussain then discloses that on the 24th afternoon, his mobs started chanting ‘Allah Hu Akbar’ and ‘Maaro Maaro Kaafiro Ko Maaro’.
Disclosure Statement signed by Tahir Hussain
Further, he says that he was informed that Hindus had started killing Muslims and thus, he got enraged and told his supporters to get ready to teach Hindus a lesson.
However, this part of his statement does not add up. Most of the violence that came from Hindus took place on the 25th of February. Furthermore, it is pertinent to note that Tahir Hussain himself admits that he was planning the riots for a long time to teach Hindus a lesson. He had collected stones, instigated his supporters, told them to be ready and even got the CCTV cameras broken and got his pistol released. The investigation has also found that he was planning the riots since January. Everything known thus far points to a planned conspiracy being hatched to unleash violence against Hindus. Thus, Hussain saying that the violence started after a rumour was spread, makes little sense.
Tahir then says that on his instruction, his supporters reached the terrace of his house and started specifically targeting Hindus and their properties by hurling stones, shooting and throwing petrol bombs. Hussain had told his supporters that since his building is a high-rise in the area, they will not be hurt or put in harms’ way by any retaliation by the Hindus either. He further said that his brother, Shah Alam, Gulfam and others were also firing a pistol at Hindus.
Then comes the most clinching part that has been used by several Left portals like The Wire in an attempt to shield Tahir Hussain. NDTV and The Wire along with several other foot-soldiers were at the forefront of defending Tahir Hussain. Both portals had claimed that there are serious questions regarding the charges against Tahir Hussain since he himself had made several calls to the PCR and thus, was a victim of violence himself. The Wire had aired an “exclusive” interview with Hussain where he had claimed that he is a victim and is being targeted because he is a Muslim. Further, NDTV, accessing his calls to the PCR, had confidently claimed that these calls put a question mark on the charges against Hussain.
EXCLUSIVE | “I am innocent and a victim of communal violence myself.
I have full faith in the justice system of my country. I want to surrender before the court.”
Suspended AAP councillor and an accused in recent violence in delhi, Tahir Hussain. pic.twitter.com/RoxZhGyXq3
In fact, Tahir Hussain himself had tweeted a plea for help during the riots that he was engineering. This tweet was also cited by publications like The Wire to exonerate him.
Article by The Wire
While the entire cabal peddled the lies by Tahir Hussain to exonerate him of the murder of IB staffer Ankit Sharma and the riots that he had unleashed, Tahir Hussain in his statement has revealed the reason behind his calls to the PCR.
Disclosure Statement signed by Tahir Hussain
He says in his signed Disclosure Statement that according to his plan, he had made several calls to PCR and the Police officers from his own mobile phone to protect himself from taking the blame for the riots that he had engineered and to give himself an alibi. He says he knew that no matter how large the police force was, they would not be able to cross the Pulia because thousands of Muslims had congregated there. Moreover, the Muslim mob was pelting the police force with stones and bricks to ensure that they are chased away. He also said that the mob was burning Hindu homes on both sides of the bridge.
Essentially, the very argument being used by the ‘liberals’ to shield Tahir Hussain has been shattered by him in his Disclosure Statement.
Further, Tahir Hussain says that during the intervening night of 24th and 25th, he had shipped off his family (wife and kids) to Mustafabad to keep them away from harms’ way and took out his own pistol and kept it with him.
There are more shocking revelations made by Tahir Hussain. He reveals that during the intervening night of 24th and 25th, he joined a few police officials to patrol the riot-hit area and “pretend” to appeal for calm. He was doing so as a decoy so that during the patrolling, he could give signals to his supporters that he is still with them and that they shouldn’t be scared in their quest to hunt down Kaafirs.
Disclosure Statement signed by Tahir Hussain
Hussain said he returned on the 25th so he could “mobilise” the Muslim mob against Hindus again.
Disclosure Statement signed by Tahir Hussain
Tahir Hussain returned to the area after dropping his family and patrolling the area at around 8:30 AM. However, seeing some police officials there, he left again only to return in the afternoon. He said in the afternoon, on his call, thousands of Muslims congregated near the Masjid. At that time, he saw that from the other side, Hindus had also started congregating and chanting slogans. This is the second day of the riot. When he saw the Hindus, he started mobilising the Muslim mob and started burning Hindu houses, pelting stones etc.
Hussain then mentions that even during the riots on 25th, where he was mobilising Muslims against Hindus, he used to slip out of the riots intermittently to call up the PCR and police to ensure that his alibi was solid.
Disclosure Statement signed by Tahir Hussain
Thereafter, Hussain absconded and was arrested on 5th March 2020.
Tahir Hussain, after explaining how he conspired to kill Kafirs, create riots and teach Hindus a lesson, ended his Disclosure Statement with these words:
“Mujhse galti ho gayi, mujhe maaf kiya jaye” (I made a mistake, I may please be forgiven).
The Disclosure Statement by Tahir Hussain is rather telling and proves that whatever was being reported at the time by portals like OpIndia stand vindicated. There are several other elements to the chargesheet that will be discussed in the subsequent reports in the ongoing series on the Delhi anti-Hindu riots chargesheets.
Gordon Buay, the ambassador of South Sudan to the United States, was seen urinating during an online discussion on Facebook. The unexpected event occurred during a conference on Friday regarding the appointment of the governor of Upper Nile state. The diplomat, since then, has alleged that the video is fake.
Gordon Buay walked to his bathroom during the online discussion and proceeded to urinate even though the live feed was on, much to the annoyance of his fellow panellists. Fortunately for him, his video was cut off when he was in the act of relieving himself of the pressure on his urinary bladder.
Embarrassing!?? South Sudan’s ambassador to the USA #GordonBuay urinates during a live zoom discussion panel. I am still speechless….
— #FreeBobiWine ???? (@HillaryTaylorVI) July 8, 2020
During the entire incident, a fellow panellist suggested that his video be muted due to the noise he was making. “I think we need to mute ambassador Gordon Buay. I believe he is the one making noise,” he said. The other panellists could also be seen feeling embarrassed for Mr. Gordon Buay.
At least three of them were seen laughing and of them, the one on the bottom left corner was seen with his hand on his head, quite unable to hide the wide smile on his face. Netizens were not happy with the ‘shameful’ act while others were more forgiving and opined that the ambassador needs to life in the age of the Coronavirus.
Social media nowadays is full of unnecessary arguments. What used to be a way to get away from the day-to-day stressful life has become the source of stress for many. However, few people can still bring a mile-long smile on anyone’s face no matter how many times a day you check their profile. Today, let’s talk about two accounts on Twitter that go by the name “Gannuuprem” and “Gauprem.” What they started last week have made the entire Twitterverse fall in love with them over and over again.
As the names suggest, these handles share photos and videos of elephants and cows. Their wholesome content has made them extremely popular for all the right reasons. Last week, both the account were engaging in a tiff which was wildly entertaining. Before jumping into the discussion I had with them, I don’t think you should miss this fun! Let me tell you all that happened.
It all started when Gauprem posted a calf photo calling it the prettiest boy in the town. Gannuuprem, who made fun of it, calling it “Tingu Pingu Pongu,” did NOT go well and then came the discussion that is still going on and off!
Gauprem, while called him murkha, buddhihin, gannachor and what not, he never called him fat. Gau did not ‘like’ the way Gannu joked about his height. Then he posted a video explaining why Gannu is ‘buddhihin’ (stupid) followed by a series of photos and videos in which elephants were just being lazy or acting stupid. Gau also posted a video showing how intelligent his species are!
Gannu, who started the fight unintentionally, pulled up his sleeves and began replying when realized the tiff had backfired. Justifying sliding on a slope instead of walking, he said it is fun. To be honest, it is fun! The fight was not limited to Ganesha and Nandi only. They also roped in, wait for it, Narendra Modi in the argument. Gau shared a photo on a young calf being loved by PM Modi and boy it rattled Gannu! He shared a photograph of PM Modi, where he offered food to an elephant saying, “Nandi bola Modi kaka loves him only, now say something.”
What Gannu did not see coming was a series of photographs of Yogi Adityanath, CM Uttar Pradesh, with cows, a lot of cows. CM Yogi is famous for his love for cows, so it was apparent that there would have been numerous photos available of him spending time with the animals.
Gannu might have tried to find a photograph of Yogi with an elephant, but he failed. Gau wins the round!! Though some netizens enjoying the fight did share a photo of HM Amit Shah with an elephant, the round was already over, Gannu accepted the defeat while ranting Gau is a cheater. What Gau did next was even better. He RTed Gannu’s photograph with PM Modi and said, “Bol to raha hi hun, Maine pyaar jeeta hai aur gannu ne tarbooj. Kaddu gets tarbooj.”
Endless love from the netizens
Have you seen two kids harmlessly fighting with each other? It is the same and Twitteratis loves it. Their tweets were liked by many and love kept pouring in for both the handles. I got in touch with both the handles to know a little more about the new celebrities we have on social media. I am not going to share their personal details as it will kill the mystery behind these handles, but I did ask them about the aim of their handles and how it all started.
Just followed @GauPrem and @Gannuuprem ? such cute fights these 2 indulge in ?
Three moderators operate these accounts. Yes, they are friends and know each other but not on a very personal level. The main connection between them is these two IDs. Gauprem started tweeting in 2016. Her inspirations for the tweet came from @/OGSaffron on Twitter. The main aim revolved around exposing the hypocrisy that revolved around “animal love” business but with a twist. Instead of posting aimlessly about the hypocrisy, Gauprem decided to take a positive approach and shared countless tweets and RTed many from other twitter users that showed love for the mother cow.
Gaumata IS cool!
Gauprem feels that calling cow Gaumata should be seen as something orthodox. It is as cool as calling a dog, your brother, or your sister. Gauprem’s tweets were not limited to cute photographs and videos. She shared information about gaushalas and gau rakshaks who provide free food, shelter and medical care to the animals. The way they caption the posts makes it possible for the non-metro and city dwellers to connect to their roots.
They created a few other handles which were suspended by Twitter for reasons that we did not discuss. Two main moderators manage both the handles and the third moderator, who unintentionally started it, is there to help whenever needed. It all started with “what would be the calves talking about” and still going on and off. There are character names, Nandi, Bhima, Gannu, Matanga, Uma, and Nandini that they often use to narrate the stories also got involved in the banter. People started loving the banter, and thus it continued.
Expect more, look out for more! It is not going to stop soon!
The fight is not going to end very soon as siblings fight with each other all the time. It may stop when all these characters grow up, but that is not going to happen anytime soon. In one of the moderator’s words, “Yeh to parampara hai.” For them, it is just siblings fighting and arguing over nothing. There should not be a fight to begin with, but it is the universal rule that the siblings have to irritate each other. No one is going to change this rule, as it is, without a doubt, one of the most adorable things you can find on the internet, especially when there is hate everywhere.
Cute fight between @GauPrem and @Gannuuprem . Loving .. dil kush. Positivity in fighting too .. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Both handles are lovely plz follow you will love. Will not regret in following that for sure guaranteed.
“Animals and humans live in a symbiotic relationship. They benefit from each other’s company, if not directly, then through their contribution to the environment. We should be kind towards every animal. If you can’t keep a cow or anything, donate to the gaushala and feed animals in your locality. Help each other. Punya karma.” It is all about helping the animals and spread more love. It is high time we humanize the animals. They have emotions, feelings, and they too have friends, family and form society. They are social, just like humans.
I hope you read the fine print behind these banters and shower more love on Ganesha and Nandi. Till then, let the fight continue.
#FF to these super amazing handles. If you ain’t following them, follow them right now for their cute fights ?
On Thursday, the Prime Minister’s Office of Pakistan tweeted that PM Imran Khan would inaugurate a dedicated Coronavirus treatment facility in Islamabad. The 250-bedded Islamabad Isolation Hospital & Infectious Treatment Centre (IHITC) was reportedly constructed in 40 days. As per the tweet, the facility would ease the pressure on the overburdened healthcare capital hospitals of Pakistan, amidst the rising number of cases of Coronavirus outbreak.
Reportedly, the hospital has five wards to treat infectious diseases. Until Thursday, Pakistan had recorded a total of 4, 983 fatalities, and 240,848 cases of the Wuhan Coronavirus. Cabinet ministers such as Asad Umar, Shibli Faraz, Army Chief Bajwa, and Chinese Ambassador to Pakistan Yao Jing were present during the event. As per reports, the hospital was completed at a cost of 98 crores PKR.

While Pakistan govt proudly announced that they built a Coronavirus hospital in just 40 days, China has said that the facility was built with its help. According to Chinese media, not only Pakistan thanked China for its ‘firm support’ in fighting the pandemic, the Pakistani government conceded that the hospital could be built in record time due to the support of China.
Pakistan wants to learn from ‘Chinese experience’
“The Chinese government and the Chinese people have been helping Pakistan prevent and control COVID-19, providing a large number of medical supplies, sending medical expert teams and aiding Pakistan with the building of the IHITC”, Imran Khan conceded, according to a report by Xinhuanet. Besides, the Pakistani side announced that they could learn from the experience of China in containing the pandemic as soon as possible.
Xinhuanet reported that the Chinese ambassador Yao stated that China and Pakistan had helped and supported each other in difficult times and that the mutual support would ’embody’ the essence of the shared future of both the countries.

Pakistani Mullah threatens China
Amidst the farce of Pakistan-China friendship, a Maulana had threatened China and asked the Chinese companies to follow the law of the land after various Chinese companies ban Pakistani employees from offering namaz, the Islamic prayer. In a video that had gone viral on social media, a visibly upset maulana can be heard threatening China to not interfere in their religion. As per reports, many Chinese companies in Pakistan have disallowed its Pakistani employees from offering namaz, one of the five basic tenets of Islam. A video shared by Twitter user Farah Khan reveals how one Pakistani employee of a company was beaten up by his employers for allegedly offering namaz.
The 11th of July, 2020 marks the 14th anniversary of one of the darkest days of Independent India. Exactly 14 years ago, in 2006, a series of 7 bomb blasts shook the consciousness of the country. The Mumbai local train blasts were carried out by Islamic terrorists during a phase where they appeared to be successful in whatever heinous endeavour they undertook.
The blasts created an atmosphere of despondency in the country. And it also revealed the dark underbelly of Indian politics. The anti-Hindu nature of Indian secularism has been evident for years, if not decades. For years, politicians have engaged in rabid minority appeasement to secure their minority community vote-bank. They have done so even at the expense of national security and interests. One individual who has been at the forefront of such conduct is NCP supremo Sharad Pawar.
Sharad pawar had admitted in an interview that he had invented a 12th explosion during the Mumbai Blasts in order to preserve the communal harmony. ‘I deliberately misled the people,’ he said, without any hint in his voice that he had done anything wrong. He also tried to blame the blasts on LTTE in order to avoid communal clashes. He was lying completely and without any regret at all.
In the same interview, Sharad Pawar also claimed that the purpose of the blasts was to create communal tensions between Hindus and Muslims, so that Muslim youth will be radicalised by the resultant communal clashes. Shekhar Gupta asked him whether he was questioned by others as to why he claimed Muslims were also attacked when they were evidently not.
Sharad Pawar promptly replied that he was and he was also asked about it by the Srikrishna Commission. He said that when he explained his reasons to Justice Srikrishna, the latter hailed it as the correct decision under the circumstances. As it so happens, in the interview, Sharad Pawar also made it quite clear that he was aware that in the 2006 Mumbai Train blasts, a deliberate attempt was made to target Hindus. The interview was aired in August 2006, a month after the serial bomb blasts in the local trains of Mumbai.
Sharad Pawar said, “Western railway (western suburban line) is the only railway where sizeable middle-class, higher middle-class, trading community, representative of stock exchange..” At that point, Shekhar Gupta interjected, “And many Gujaratis, Gujarati Hindus.” The NCP supremo replied, “Yeah, they travel in these. So they (terrorists) selected that train.”
He continued, “Secondly, you see that each and every compartment of various trains (that were targeted) were only first class. In first class trains, who travels essentially? Those who can afford. You will find very few Muslims who can afford. You will find very few other sections who are poor (who travel in first class). So essentially, Gujaratis, Marwaris, comparatively financially better people, or higher salary class, they travel.”
“So, Western railways and second, first class, that was a clear cut design to concentrate on particular section.and simultaneously, might be, that particular section should not be effected. So that type of precaution was also taken,” explained Sharad Pawar. In simple words, what the NCP supremo meant was by targeting the first class compartments in the local trains, the terrorists went to great lengths to ensure that Hindus were killed in the attack and also make sure that Muslims were not.
It is quite an admission by an important political player in Maharashtra. 13 years after he openly invented a bomb blast that never occurred in order to falsely claim that Muslims were targeted in the 1993 Mumbai Blasts during his tenure as Chief Minister, the same person quite casually admitted that the terrorists had deliberate targeted Hindus and wanted to make sure that not many Muslim lives were lost in the process.
The other aspect of it is the casual manner in which Shekhar Gupta, the current chief of the Editors’ Guild, is speaking of the targeted terrorist attack against Hindus. His digital media venture The Print presides over apocalyptic sermons about an imaginary Hindu fascism in the country targeting minority communities. But here he was, talking casually about Hindus being targeted by Islamic terrorists.
The mainstream media then did not highlight the matter at all. Here was one of the most powerful politicians in Maharashtra openly admitting that Hindus were the primary targets of Islamic terrorists who had taken measures to ensure that Muslims were not killed and yet, the mainstream media ignored it completely. A targeted campaign of violence against the Hindu community was not highlighted at all.
The mainstream media also did not believe then, and still does not believe, that it is worth questioning Sharad pawar why he deliberately lied on a matter as significant as a terror attack. Shekhar Gupta, in fact, approves of the fact that Sharad Pawar invented a fake bomb in the 1993 Mumbai blasts and that he tried to deflect blame on the LTTE.
The alliance partner of the NCP, the Congress party during the same period invented the mythical narrative of ‘Saffron terrorism’ to falsely draw and equivalence with Islamic terrorism and shield radical Muslims in the process. It further exposes the sham of Indian secularism and the lengths that secular politicians go to in order to shield Islamic fundamentalists and protect their Muslim vote-bank.
The Mumbai local train blasts of 2006 were carried out by Islamic terrorists. Prosecutors argued that the attack was planned by Pakistan’s ISI and carried out by Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists with help from banned terrorist outfit Students’ Islamic Movement of India (SIMI). The blasts killed over 200 people and injured over 700.
In 2015, seven of the 12 convicted on charges of murder, conspiracy and waging war against the country were given life sentences while the other five were awarded the death penalty.
In a startling revelation, Chinese virologist Li-Meng Yan, who fled Hong Kong in the wake of the new security law enacted by Beijing that grants it sweeping powers to quell dissenting voices, claimed that China was well-aware of the deadly coronavirus and virulence of the deadly virus long before it said it did and asserted that the WHO advisor Professor Malik Peiris did nothing to alert others despite knowing about the virulence of the virus.
In an exclusive interview with Fox News, Yan contended that the research that she was doing at the start of the pandemic that could have saved millions of lives was overlooked by her supervisors, some of them amongst the best in the world in this field.
“I know how China treats whistleblower”: Li-Meng Yan
Yan, who has now gone into hiding, fearing retribution from the Chinese authorities, claimed that the communist government in China is trying to besmirch her reputation and accused them of commissioning a cyber attack against the virologist, in a bid to keep her silent.
The scientist who had fled China is paranoid about her life being in danger because of her revelations against the Chinese government and WHO adviser. She fears that she will never be able to go back to her home again and will have to live with the bitter reality that she might not be able to see her family and friends again.
Speaking with the Fox News from an undisclosed location, Yan said, “I reason I came to the United States because I am carrying COVID’s message of truth. If I had been revealed this from China, I would have disappeared and killed.”
China’s cover-up of the coronavirus outbreak
Yan’s claims reinforce the prevailing belief that China has deliberately bungled the initial response to the coronavirus and its attempts later to cover-up the pandemic that is galloping across the globe. Yan said that China had intentionally delayed in sharing crucial information about the virulence of the virus, allowing the contagion to spread like a wildfire across the world.
The virologist said that she is one of the first few scientists in the world to study the coronavirus, claiming that she was asked by her supervisor at the University/WHO reference lab in 2019 to look into the odd cluster of SARS-like cases coming out of mainland China at the end of December 2019.
China’s CDC knew about the virulence of COVID-19
According to the virologist, her friend, who was a scientist at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in China, had first-hand knowledge of the cases and reportedly informed her on December 31 of human-to-human transmission long before either China or the WHO would admit such a case.
About 10 days later, on January 9, WHO released an official statement saying, “According to the Chinese authorities, the virus in question can cause severe illness in some patients and does not transmit readily between people… There is limited information to determine the overall risk of this reported cluster.”
Yan claims that suddenly after WHO’s press release, scientists across the country, who were having conversations about the virulence of the contagion went mum and others were warned by the authorities to not to ask them for details.
Recently, the WHO had quietly changed the timeline of the coronavirus on its website saying it got the information about COVID-19 from WHO scientists and not the Chinese authorities. However, about six months ago, WHO chief Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus had claimed that the organization was informed about COVID-19 from China.
The Mumbai Anti-Terrorism Squad has arrested one Arvind alias Guddan Ramvilas Trivedi & his driver Sonu Tiwari from Thane in connection with the Kanpur Encounter case in which 8 policemen lost their lives after a team of unsuspecting police officials were ambushed by Vikas Dubey’s men when they had entered one of the residences of the notorious criminal in a bid to arrest him.

The police had apparently received a tip-off that one of the accused in the Kanpur encounter case has been in Thane searching for a secret hide-out to evade police arrest. A trap was laid by the Juhu ATS Unit at Kolshet Road, Thane and the accused Guddan and his driver were nabbed by the team.
An initial inquiry by the ATS also revealed that Guddan had been involved in many cases with Vikas Dubey, including the 2001 Murder case of State Minister Shri Santosh Shukla.
Apart from the Kanpur ambush, Guddan Trivedi is also wanted in the 2001 murder of Santosh Shukla, who was a BJP leader and minister in UP. Reportedly, Guddan has been handed over to the UP police by the ATS, and he will be brought to Kanpur by road.
Kanpur encounter accused Guddan’s links with Samajwadi Party
The accused in Kanpur encounter case, who was arrested by the Juhu unit of the Mumbai ATS, apparently has links with the Samajwadi Party. Guddan, on his Facebook account, has proudly declared himself to be associated with the Samajwadi Party and his myriad photos with Samajwadi functionaries as well as with the Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav and the former Samajwadi Party chief and ex-Uttar Pradesh CM Mulayam Singh Yadav. These photographs bear testimony to his association with the political party.

Akhilesh Yadav claimed Vikas Dubey had ties with BJP leaders
However, while Guddan’s Facebook page and the photos shared by him prove it beyond doubt that he was in thick with the Samajwadi Party leadership in the state of Uttar Pradesh, the Samajwadi Party chief, Akhilesh Yadav, in the wake of Vikas Dubey’s encounter, falsely claimed that the dreaded gangster had close ties with the BJP leaders.
In addition to deviously linking gangster Vikas Dubey with the BJP leadership, Samajwadi party chief Akhilesh Yadav had also raised aspersions over the authenticity of Dubey’s encounter declared that the BJP government in Uttar Pradesh is brazenly carrying out custodial deaths of “innocent people”.
Kanpur Encounter case
On the intervening night of 2nd and 3rd July, eight police personnel were killed by UP gangster Vikas Dubey and his men near Kanpur. A team of 15-16 Uttar Pradesh police had carried out raids in search of criminal Vikas Dubey in Chaubepur in Kanpur. The raid was carried out at 1 am on the intervening night of July 2-3 in Bithoor area in Chaubepur.
The police personnel were ambushed by Dubey’s men who were prepared with arms on the roof of a building and continuously shot at them. The criminals had already blocked the road with a JCB machine to prevent the policemen from escaping. A total of eight police personnel were killed and six injured.
