Hindu Basti razed to the ground in Punjab province of Pakistan

On Wednesday, a slum which housed impoverished Hindu families he city of Bahawalpur in Punjab, Pakistan, was reportedly destroyed by the government. In a disturbing video that has now gone viral on social media, a bulldozer can be seen razing the homes of Hindus to the ground while the women and children beg for their shelter to be spared.

The demolition exercise was carried out under the watch of the Housing Minister Tariq Bashir Cheema. He is a member of the cabinet in Imran Khan’s government. Bashir was also accompanied by Shahid Khokhar who serves as the Principal Information Officer.

Reportedly, few days ago the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan had slammed the government for failing to protect the religious minorities. Pakistan has subjected its minorities to abduction, torture, rape, and forced conversions from time to time. The rampant attack on minorities is a testimony to the abject failure in safeguarding their rights.

Forced Conversions in Pakistan

Earlier, in a video shared by a Pakistani lawyer and activist, Rahat Austin, on Twitter, a Hindu woman belonging to the Bheel tribe in Nasarpur village in Matiari in the Sindh province of Pakistan, could be seen putting up a strong resistance against forced conversion to Islam. Reportedly, a Hindu boy was abducted by the leader of Tablighi Jamaat, an Islamic Missionary Movement, in Sindh. Besides, houses belonging to Bheel Hindusbwere ransacked and vandalised. Their properties were illegally grabbed and forced to vacate their own houses.

Shashi Tharoor dons ‘Thawb’ and turns Arabic to wish Eid

On Sunday, Congress leader and Member of Lok Sabha Shashi Tharoor took to Twitter to display his secular credentials ahead of the Eid. The Thiruvananthapuram MP not only wished Muslims of the country on the occasion of Islamic festival but also went a step ahead to wish his Muslim supporters in Arab world too.

In doing so, Shashi Tharoor ‘Arabized’ himself by posting an image of himself wearing ‘Thawb’. He posted the image on the micro-blogging site Twitter on the occasion of Eid.

“And for my friends in the Arab world,” read the tweet by Congress MP.

Tweet by Shashi Tharoor

The exuberant tweet of Shashi Tharoor wishing the Arab on Eid, however, did not impress the netizens. At a time when a section of Arab Muslims has been indulging a series of anti-India propaganda, Shashi Tharoor’s tweet appeasing the Arab world received ire across social media platforms.

It is pertinent to note that there has been rising propaganda against India from a section of Muslims in gulf countries, who have joined hands with the Pakistanis, to spew venom against India. The troll accounts from the Arab world have cast aspersion on the country’s pluralistic credentials and have been propagating a false narrative asserting that Muslims in India were not treated respectfully.

The Indians living in Gulf were also targetted by a section of Muslims in the Gulf, backed by the ISI, who had resorted to pretending to be Arabs on social media to complain against these individuals by claiming they were ‘Islamophobes’.

The false propaganda against India came after the majority of the country’s population had voiced their anger against Tablighi Jamaat, an Islamic seminary, which emerged as the most potent coronavirus super-spreader in India.

Shashi Tharoor, without comprehending the inherent prejudice in Arab societies against India, unfortunately decided to appease the Arabs on the occasion of Eid.

However, social media users were quick to express the hypocrisy of Shashi Tharoor, who questioned his reluctance to wish Indians, especially people belonging to indigenous faiths on their respective festivals.

One social media user said that he did not see Shashi Tharoor wishing the Indians on Bhagwan Mahaveer Jayanti wearing a similar attire associated with Jainism and exposed his dubiousness even in wishing people during their festivals.

Reactions to tweet by Shashi Tharoor wishing Eid wearing Thawb

A user named SS Singh, raised a relevant point by hoping that Arabs would reciprocate to Shashi Tharoor’s gesture by wishing Indians on Diwali, Holi, Ram Navmi, Durga Ashtami, with similar photos and wearing a traditional Indian dress, Tilak etc.

Reactions to tweet by Shashi Tharoor wishing Eid wearing Thawb

Another social media user Ballu Barjun also put out a similar concern just as SS Singh asking whether Arabs would reciprocate in the same manner just as Shashi Tharoor.

Reactions to tweet by Shashi Tharoor wishing Eid wearing Thawb

A user named Communal Communist, said the desperate act by Shashi Tharoor to appease Arab Muslims was nothing but ‘Cringe’.

Reactions to tweet by Shashi Tharoor wishing Eid wearing Thawb

Few other netizens had a humorous taken on the whole controversy. The social media users displayed their creativity to mock Congress MP Shashi Tharoor’s theatrics on social media.

As Muslims trend #EidMubarak1441H to wish Eid, here is what 1441H means according to the Islamic calendar

Today Congress leader and Thiruvananthapuram MP Shashi Tharoor issued a unique greeting specifically for his Arab friends on the occasion of Eid. He posted a photograph of himself dresses as an Arab man, saying Eid Mubarak to his friends in the Arab world. Although the photograph was the main point of attention that attracted widespread reactions, the hashtag he used also raised some curiosity. He used the words EidMubarak1441H as the hashtag in his tweet, and some people were seen asking what does the 1441H part in that hashtag means.

Not just Shashi Tharoor, many people posting Eid greetings on Twitter used the term 1441H, and some people were seen asking what does this mean.

It is not some special number having significance in Islam, like the number 786, but simply the year as per Islamic calendar. The H means Hijri year, the year used in the Islamic calendar, and 1441 is simply the year as per that calendar.

The Islamic calendar’s 1st year was on 622AD, when  Muhammad and his followers migrated from Mecca to Medina and established the first Muslim community (ummah). This event is commemorated as the Hijra, and accordingly, the years in the calendar are called Hijri years.

According to this Hijri calendar, the current year is 1441, and that’s why people are seen using the term 1441H in their Eid greetings.

It may be noted that although 1441 years have passed since Muhammad migrated to Medina according to the Islamic calendar, the period comes to 1398 years as per the Gregorian calendar. This is because, while the Gregorian calendar is a solar calendar with 365 or 366 days a year, the Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar with 354 or 355 days in a year. For that reason, more years have passed according to the Hijri year as compared to the Gregorian calendar. The Islamic calendar starts in the month of Muharram. The Eid al-Fitr marks the beginning of the month of Shawwal, the 10th month, after the Ramadan month when devote Muslims observe fasting during the day.

No more ‘J-K Police’ in Ladakh as Union Territory gets its own ‘Ladakh Police’ force, gets new symbols and insignia

In a significant development, the police administration of the Union Territory of Ladakh will no longer be referred to as ‘Jammu and Kashmir Police’ as the newly formed UT has been assigned its own police force insignias and nomenclature.

According to the reports, the earlier usage nomenclature and insignias of ‘Jammu and Kashmir’ police, will henceforth be discarded in Ladakh. From now on the police force in the Union Territory of Ladakh will be identified as ‘Ladakh Police’.

An order regarding the change in nomenclature was issued by Inspector General of Police, Ladakh, SS Khandare, on Saturday.

“Wherever the organisational name ‘J&K Police’ is written on any signboards, police vehicles, letterheads, office stationaries, seals and other official items of UT Police should be replaced by the word ‘LADAKH POLICE’ in capital letters henceforth”, the order read.

The order further stated, “No police officer/official shall put on president police collar insignia of J&K Police on uniform,” adding it has the approval of the competent authority.

Fufilment of long-term of Ladakh population

Months after the historic abolition of Article 370 and reorganization of the then state of Jammu and Kashmir into two Union Territories of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh, the long-term demand of Ladakhi people to bifurcate the administration of two UTs is now being fulfilled.

On August 5 last year, the Modi government, through historic legislation had abolished the archaic Article 370, paving way for the bifurcation of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir into two Union Territories – Ladakh and Jammu & Kashmir.

The government had passed Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Bill in the Parliament to give legal sanctity to the bifurcation. However, the state was officially bifurcated into the two union territories on October 31.

UN Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs funding Palestinian Jihadists under the garb of Coronavirus aid: Report

UN Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs funding Palestinian Jihadists under the garb of Coronavirus aid: Report

International aid worth millions of dollars provided to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) for coronavirus emergency response in Palestine has been transferred to Islamic terrorist organisations, reported The Jerusalem Post.

As per the report, a research institution named NGO Monitor has found that several organisations funded by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and OCHA are linked to the People’s Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). The group is recognised as a terror outfit by several countries such as the EU, the US, and Canada. Several countries including Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Kuwait, Norway, Sweden, Spain, and the UK, are part of the Palestine emergency response plan.

United Nations accused of funding Terror Outfits

Union of Palestinian Women’s Committees (UPWC), Health Work Committees (HWC), Union of Health Work Committees (UHWC), Union of Agricultural Work Committees (UAWC), and Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR) are some of the NGOs, with links to PFLP, which are funded by the OCHA.

Reportedly, several members of the PFLP were arrested in 2019 for the gruesome killing of Rina Schnerb (17). For instance, Waleed Hanatsheh who is now standing trial for the murder of Schnerb was HWC’s Financial and Administration Director while another man Samer Arbid who served as UAWC’s financial director has also been indicted.

Is Humanitarian aid a cover-up?

According to the NGO Monitor, several activities of the OCHA do not align with their mission to respond to the humanitarian crisis caused due to the Coronavirus outbreak in West Bank and the Gaza Strip. OCHA, in its situation report, noted that Israel has allowed media supplies in Gaza.

However, along with 18 NGOs, the UN body has made a ‘joint statement’, as a part of its Coronavirus response in Palestine, urging Israel to lift the blockade in Gaza to provide medical supplies. The report noted that the United Nations had resorted to ‘anti-Israel advocacy’ instead of contributing to the humanitarian crisis.

Reportedly, several organisations received funding from the UN body for letters and press releases. For example, Israeli NGO HaMoked wrote letters demanding the opening of Sheikh Sa’ed checkpoint and closure of Al Jib checkpoint. Another letter was written by the Association for Civil Rights to Benny Gatz, the leader of Blue and White party, demanding protection of ‘democratic institutions.’ While it had nothing to do with Coronavirus pandemic, it had something to do with Israel’s internal politics.

According to Gerald Steinberg, the President of the NGO Monitor, the OCHA is motivated to procure funding to the contentious NGOs, ‘padding the statistics’ and not providing relief. He added, “Our report provides a snapshot of what humanitarian aid actually looks like in crisis situations and the accompanying shortcoming.”

Extremists exploiting lockdown, say United Nations

Earlier, the United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres had warned that radical groups were exploiting the Wuhan Coronavirus pandemic and intensifying their efforts on social media to recruit youth online. He said that extremists are trying to capitalise on the ‘anger and despair’ unleashed by the economic crisis caused by the virus to increase their strength.

“They want to show lesser Coronavirus cases”, alleges doctors after BMC issues show-cause notice to a Mumbai doctor for recommending COVID-19 test

“They want to show lesser Coronavirus cases”, alleges doctors after BMC issues show-cause notice to a Mumbai doctor for recommending COVID-19 test

Mumbai’s civic body Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), has issued a show-cause notice to a doctor from Ghatkopar in Mumbai for recommending an asymptomatic patient to undergo Coronavirus testing, reports Hindustan Times.

The civic body has alleged that the action of the general physician ‘violated’ the guidelines of the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), BMC, and that of Epidemic Disease Act (1897) and the Disaster Management Act (2005).

Doctor intimidated by BMC

The Assistant Commissioner of N ward, Ajit Ambi, has also threatened to cancel the doctor’s licence, in case he failed to respond to the contentious notice within 24 hours. As per the notice, the physician who runs a private clinic in Ghaktokpar has not followed the ICMR rules ‘scrupulously’ with regards to testing asymptomatic Coronavirus patients. He has been asked to explain why his licence should not be cancelled. “Now, it has come to the native of this office, based on reports of one number of patients that you have not been following the said ICMR guidelines scrupulously, especially regarding the testing of asymptomatic patients,” the notice sent to the doctor said.

Criticism of the Contentious Notice

“These are the ways the corporation is trying to scare us so that we don’t run many tests and so that they can show lesser number of Covid cases,” the doctor’s colleague was quoted as saying. He added that a doctor has the right to conduct testing on a patient, exhibiting no symptoms, if he feels the need based on his expertise.

The controversial move by BMC has also drawn sharp criticism from the Maharashtra Medical Council (MMC) and the Indian Medical Association (IMA). President of MMC Dr Shivkumar Utture said that the civic body cannot cancel the licence of any doctor. As per the rules laid down by the India Medical Council, only they are authorised to do so. Criticising the intimidatory notice, IMA President Dr. Avinash Bhondwe sighed, “We don’t need threatening letters, we need safety gears. Such arrogant behaviour will discourage doctors.”

BMC had made testing guidelines stringent to reduce number of tests

Earlier, the BMC had announced that show-cause notices will be issued to private doctors if they recommend COVID-19 swab test without physically examining the patients. BMC had said that not only they will issue show cause notice for cancellation of licences of offending doctors, they will also register FIR against such doctors.

The Medical Health Officers have been told by the civic body that if they find any doctor recommending tests without physical examination, they should first issue them show-cause notices for cancellation of their registration. If the doctors are found doing the same again, then they would be booked.

In its guidelines released on May 12, BMC had clarified that symptomatic persons should be tested after registered private medical practitioners recommend the same. BMC had made testing guidelines stringent after many asymptomatic people rushed to get tested.

Coronavirus outbreak in Maharashtra

As of May 24, Maharashtra has reported 47,190 active cases of Coronavirus and 1,577 deaths. The coronavirus outbreak in Maharashtra has reached acute levels as the contagion is now rapidly spreading through the front line forces such as doctors and police personnel. Recently, a general physician(GP) from Chembur, Mumbai was the third doctor to die from the menace of the Chinese virus. The wife of the deceased doctor has now levelled serious allegations of negligence and dereliction against the Maharashtra government.

NDTV cites ‘sources’ to claim Indian Jawans were detained and then released by China, Indian Army categorically rejects

Amidst rising tensions between India and China along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), the controversial NDTV has yet again resorted to peddling fake news concerning matters that are critical to national security.

On Sunday, NDTV that has a complicated relationship with the truth published a source-based report claiming that an Indian patrol party of the army and the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) were detained by the Chinese troops and later released.

According to NDTV, the detention of Indian troops happened during the latest stand-off between Indian and Chinese troops.

NDTV reports fake news

According to ‘sources’ close to NDTV, the report said that during a scuffle between the two sides in Ladakh earlier this week, the Chinese troops had snatched the weapons of ITBP, which was later handed back and the Indian jawans also returned.

“The situation became very volatile last Wednesday when a scuffle between Indian jawans and the Chinese resulted in the detention of some of our jawans but later they were released,” reported NDTV quoting a source.

The situation was finally defused after a border meeting of commanders from both sides, reported NDTV.

India Today also cited “sources” to peddle the same news.

Fake news: Indian Army rubbishes NDTV report

Meanwhile, the Indian Army has categorically denied reports of NDTV, which suggested that Indian troops were detained by the Chinese.

The Indian Army has said no troops patrolling the border have been detained by the Chinese troops. “This is not true,” stated an officer speaking to ANI.

Despite clarification from the Indian Army, NDTV has neither chosen to clarify for their misinformation nor deleted their original report.

Chinese troops deployment near Ladakh

The tension between India and China have escalated since last week after reports emerged that China had deployed excessive troops and set up temporary tents across the Galwan river in Ladakh after a face-off near Pangong Tso on May 5-6.

It is also believed that Chinese troops have also taken up positions along the Pangong Tso Lake and are also carrying out aggressive patrols with motorboats to intimidate Indian forces in the region. Reportedly, the Chinese troops have damaged some temporary structures put up in the finger area near Pangong Tso Lake.

The face-offs, which started as a little skirmish initiated by the Chinese troops, later took a serious turn after the Chinese side brought in troops and heavy equipment from a military exercise.

Troops clashed in Eastern sector

The Galwan stand-off comes at the backdrop of a recent incident where troops of both India and China were involved in two face-offs in a span of a week in the Eastern Ladakh and near Naku La Pass in the Sikkim sector along the contentious border between the two countries.

In the first incident, the Chinese army personnel had clashed with Indian forces along the northern bank of the Pangong Lake in eastern Ladakh on May 5. The face-off ended the next morning following dialogue between the two sides. A number of soldiers on both sides had sustained minor injuries

Just days before, in another incident, nearly 150 Indian and Chinese military personnel had engaged in a face-off near Naku La Pass in the Sikkim sector of the Sino-India border in which at least 10 soldiers sustained injuries.

Here is the truth about the fake TIME magazine cover page shared by Ravish Kumar and subsequently deleted

The propaganda machinery has been working overtime to undermine Prime Minister Modi amidst the Coronavirus pandemic. One of the veteran propagandists, Ravish Kumar, has regularly spewed venom and furthered lies to malign the government. His legendary capacity to peddle fake news was once again exposed when Ravish Kumar propagated fake news and shared a fake TIME magazine cover in a bid to malign PM Modi.

Earlier today, Ravish Kumar had shared a TIME magazine cover page that shows a silhouette resembling that of Prime Minister Narendra Modi with the caption ‘TIME…. to go’.

Fake image shared by Ravish Kumar on Facebook

Soon, Facebook fact-checkers deemed the image fake.

The truth about the fake TIME magazine cover page shared by Ravish Kumar

The fake TIME magazine cover had gone viral recently on Social Media as a cover page that was anticipating President Donald Trump losing elections in the Presidential election that is due to happen soon in the United States of America.

The fake image was shared by several American Twitter users and detractors of President Trump on social media recently.

TIME confirms that the cover page was fake

A TIME magazine spokesperson had recently confirmed to Reuters that the viral cover page of TIME magazine was fake. Speaking to Reuters, in an email, TIME had confirmed that they had released no such cover page of their magazine.

Several other markers that the TIME cover page was fake

There are several other markers, as pointed out by the Reuters, that indicate that the TIME cover page was fake. For example, the cover page being circulated now, even by Ravish Kumar, had no timestamp of the issue or even the ‘time.com’ stamp at the bottom right corner as other authentic TIME magazine cover pages.

Further, it does include the words “double issue” in the top left corner, which some TIME magazine editions have.

Magsaysay award winner, Ravish Kumar, shares more fake news

Apart from sharing the fake TIME cover page and insinuating that it could be about PM Modi, Ravish Kumar has been sharing other lies from his Facebook page. While the TIME post has been deleted by him, other lies remain on his Facebook page where he urges others to spread the fake news far and wide.

Ravish Kumar had recently also shared a debunked fake news that was reported by Rohini Singh in the far-left propaganda outlet The Wire.

Post by Ravish Kumar sharing fake news

Recently, habitual fake news purveyor, Rohini Singh, authored an article for ‘The Wire’, titled- “Behind Ahmedabad’s Ventilator Controversy, a Backstory of Connections to Top BJP Leaders” which alleged that the Narendra Modi government is procuring 5000 ventilators from a Rajkot based firm which has already been accused of supplying substandard breathing machines to the Ahmedabad’s largest COVID-19 hospital.

Alluding ‘conflict of interest’, the article goes on to claim that the firm’s current and former promoters have had close ties to the BJP leaders-with one business family linked to the expensive suit that was gifted to PM Modi.

The Press Information Bureau of India took cognisance of the lies and deceit peddled by Ms Singh in The Wire. The official Twitter handle of PIB issued a tweet denouncing the article published on the leftist rag as fake. PIB claimed that the ventilators which Ms Singh is talking about in her article were not procured but were received as a donation. It further added that the quality of the ventilators, which is continuously being ridiculed in the article published on The Wire was in accordance with the required medical standards.

Gujarat: Illegal slaughterhouse behind Rani Roopmati mosque raided in Shahpur, 12 smugglers arrested, cattle rescued

The Gujarat police raided an illegal slaughterhouse in Shahpur to nab 12 cattle smugglers and also seized about 1,500 kg of meat from Qureshi Chowk behind Jani Seth ni Haveli, reports Ahmedabad Mirror. The illegal slaughterhouse was located behind Rani Roopmati Mosque in Ahmedabad.

According to the reports, the cops have rescued as many as 75 cattle from the illegal slaughterhouse on Saturday. The raids on the illegal slaughterhouse have come a day ahead of the Islamic festival of Ramzan.

On Saturday, a team of Shahpur police were on lockdown duty, checking vehicles at ‘Trankhuniya Bagicha’. An individual on a motorcycle tried to pass the police personnel at the check post and escaped towards the lane of Rani Roopmati Mosque. The police soon chased them as they sensed some foul-play.

Illegal slaughterhouse raided – No permits to transport cattle

As one of the culprits crossed Rani Roopmati mosque, the police saw several cattles in the pickup trucks. The cops saw four men standing near the trucks. The police officials asked them to show pass permits to transport the cattle. However, they had none.

The four person transporting the cattle were identified as – Usmangani Qureshi, Rafiq Qureshi, Ghosh Qureshi and Mohammad Qureshi.

When the police interrogated them, the four accused said that a few had already taken more cattle to the slaughterhouse. The cops reached the spot and raided the slaughterhouse to find more cattle along with three, which had already been slaughtered.

In the above video, the carcass of the cattle can be seen amidst blood-stained slaughterhouse. The police officials also rescued some cattle from the spot.

RK Amin, the Inspector of Shahpur police said, “There were 75 buffaloes worth Rs 5.82 lakh and meat worth Rs 1.50 lakh. The accused have been booked under various sections of animal protection acts as well as the IPC. They have been sent for coronavirus test and reports are awaited.”
