Wikipedia vandals attack Jyotiraditya Scindia as he resigns from Congress amidst rumours of him joining the BJP, call him ‘donkey’

As soon as Jyotiraditya Scindia decided to leave Congress, Congress leaders and loyal ‘darbaris’ had started calling him names and slandering him. Now, the slamming and name-calling has been taken by Congress supporters to Wikipedia.

Scindia’s Wikipedia page has been vandalised by Congress supporters. They have resorted to calling him names and are using insulting words for him. One Twitter user alleged that Scindia’s Wikipedia page shows words like ‘donkey’, comedian and ‘power-hungry’.

As can be seen in the pictures above, Scindia has been introduced as ‘an Indian comedian’. He has been called ‘power-hungry Scindia’ and ‘donkey from Madhya Pradesh.

Upon searching Wikipedia, we found other edits too. There were some edits which called him one of the most intelligent and faithful leaders of the Indian National Congress. This particular edit also stated that it is the party (congress)’s fault that they are not able to make use of such a faithful leader. It adds that he decided to join BJP because Congress was not able to use his intelligence.

There are other attempts at vandalism to call him a ‘traitor.’

Though Scindia’s Wikipedia page has been restored now and shows the basic information about him, updates of him joining the BJP without any insulting words and derogatory names, the attempts to add insulting words for the politician shows how far the Congress establishment has come to hate him.

The hate and anger Congress leaders have for Scindia was visible on Twitter too. Many Congress leaders and officials had called Scindia ‘traitor’ and backstabber on Twitter after the news of him leaving Congress had surfaced.

Madhya Pradesh: Memes flood social media after Jyotiraditya Scindia resigns from Congress with nearly 20 MLAs from Congress

Operation Kamal is underway in Madhya Pradesh and it appears Shivraj Singh ‘Mamaji’ Chauhan is set to return as Chief Minister in the state. The Congress government is on the verge of collapse as nearly 20 of their MLAs have tendered their resignation from the Assembly.

Today is also Holi, the festival of colours. And the politicial developments in Madhya Pradesh have added to people’s celebratory mood. Along expected lines, social media is flooding social media.

A lot of the memes revolve around Amit Shah and Jyotirditya Scindia. The Home Minister, during his tenure as party president, had earned himself the reputation of ensuring that BJP forms the government in states where they fell short of necessary numbers by a few.

Some memes also revolve around Amit Shah and Chief Minister Kamal Nath.

Then, there are the memes focusing on the imminent return of Shivraj Singh Chauhan.

Some show Jyotiraditya Scindia celebrating with his MLAs.

With all the memes doing the rounds, Prime Minister Modi could hardly be left behind. A clip from Narendra Modi’s press conference last year, where he had said that schemes are not implemented in a vacuum but after intense planning, is now being applied to the current context.

A day after senior Congress leader Jyotiraditya Scindia resigned from primary membership of Congress, the party has ‘expelled’ him. Scindia had tendered his resignation on 9th March, 2020. Earlier on Tuesday, Scindia had met Prime Minister Modi at his residence along with Home Minister Amit Shah. Meanwhile, along with Scindia, numerous other Madhya Pradesh Congress MLAs have tendered their resignation. With this, the Madhya Pradesh state government is on a brink of a collapse.

“Traitor”: Congress leaders express ire as senior party leader Jyotiraditya Scindia along with 19 other ditch the party

Madhya Pradesh has plunged into a political crisis after senior Congress leader Jyotiraditya Scindia along with 19 others ditched the Congress party and tendered his resignation to the party. As per latest reports, Scindia met Home Minister Amit Shah and PM Narendra Modi. The development has fuelled speculation that Scindia could join the BJP and ultimately help the latter unseat his political rival, Kamal Nath from power.

Many Congress leaders have taken to Twitter to react to this latest political astoundment. Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh in the early hours of Tuesday (10 March) took a dig at Scindia saying that a ‘true Congressi’ will remain in Congress only.

Singh had earlier claimed that the party had tried to establish contact with incognito leader Jyotiraditya Scindia but failed to do so as he is said to be suffering from Swine flu. Incidentally, a few hours later media reports had recorded Scindia returning back to his residence.

This comment from Singh came after it was reported that all state cabinet ministers in the Kamal Nath led Madhya Pradesh government tendered their resignation in a possible bid to accommodate the 17 MLAs (including six ministers) who have gone incognito.

The party’s national coordinator for social media Gaurav Pandhi took to Twitter to take an indirect jibe at Jyotiraditya Scindia: “A traitor is a traitor and no amount of arguments & reasoning can justify treachery. Period!” Pandhi said in a tweet amid speculation that Jyotiraditya Scindia was all set to join the Bharatiya Janata Party.

Baffled Pandhi also commented: “I am baffled to see the so-called ‘liberal’ journalists approving of Scindia joining BJP-RSS. This is their true color. The hate for Congress & Rahul Gandhi is so real, they don’t mind glorifying those ditching secular principles & abuse RG who is consistently fighting fascists!”

Meanwhile, Jitu Patwari, the Cabinet Minister of Higher Education, Sports and Youth Affairs, Madhya Pradesh, also took a dig at Jyotiraditya Scindia by drawing a 1967 ‘coup’ analogy.

The President of Madhya Pradesh Congress Committee, Arun Subhash Chandra Yadav also expressed his ire on Twitter by saying that he had no regrets about the character adopted by Jyotiraditya Scindia. “Scindias supported British ideology during the freedom struggle”, today, Jyotiraditya has once again stood with the same vile ideology and saluted his ancestors, said the Congress MP.

Moreover, Congress member Pankaj Punia also took to Twitter to express his pique over Jyotiraditya’s decision to abandon the party. He was quick to dismiss the senior party leader by calling him a ‘gaddar’ (traitor).

Former Union Minister and four-time parliamentarian Jyotiraditya Scindia resigned from the Congress this morning, minutes after meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah at the Prime Minister’s residence in Delhi.

In his letter, which is dated March 9 and is addressed to Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, Jyotiraditya Scindia said: “…this is a path that has been drawing itself out over the last year”.

“While my aim and purpose remain the same as it has always been from the very beginning, to serve the people of my state and country, I believe am unable to do this anymore within this party,” he wrote.

Jyotiraditya Scindia’s move has left the Congress government in Madhya Pradesh on the brink of a dramatic collapse.

Uttar Pradesh: Yogi Adityanath govt to continue to shame rioters, will move SC against Allahabad High Court order

Yogi Adityanath led Uttar Pradesh government has vowed to move the Supreme Court against the Allahabad High Court order in its bid to continue “profiling” the rioters. This move comes a day after the Allahabad High Court ordered the Lucknow administration to remove hoardings that “name” and “shame” Anti-CAA rioters.

The media advisor, Mrityunjay Kumar, to the UP Chief Minister tweeted, “The order of the Allahabad High Court to remove hoardings that identify rioters needs to be understood in the right context.”

Kumar added, “Only the posters will be removed but not the Indian Penal Code sections against them. The fight to expose the identity of the rioters will continue. Lenient treatment will not be meted out to rioters under the Yogi Adityanath led government.” As pre reports, the petition challenging the High Court Order is to be filed later in this week.

Another media advisor to CM Yogi Adityanath, Shalabh Mani Tripathi, reiterated that the government is examining the Allahabad High Court order on what basis was it passed. “Our experts are examining it. The government will decide what option to go for. The Chief Minister has to take the decision… But it is a fact that none of the people, who damaged public properties, will be spared,” Tripathi said.

Earlier, the Uttar Pradesh government had put up hoardings of 57 anti-CAA rioters in prominent intersections in state capital Lucknow. The hoardings included their names, addresses and photos of the rioters who damaged public property during the riots that claimed 22 lives in December last year. The rioters were asked to pay the penalty amount within a month.

The Allahabad High Court, which took suo motu cognisance of the issue, on March 7 termed the move as “highly unjust” on Sunday. The Bench comprising of Chief Justice Govind Mathur and Justice Ramesh Sinha noted that that there is no law that allows the state to place banners displaying names and personal data of the accused from whom compensation is being charged.

Labelling the hoardings as ‘unwarranted interference in the privacy of people’, the Allahabad High Court has ordered the district administration and the divisional commissioner of police to remove them by March 16.

Union Minister Ramdas Athawale chants ‘Go Corona’ slogans against coronavirus

Union Minister Ramdas Athawale raised slogans against the Novel Coronavirus on Monday as the deadly virus continues to spread across the globe at an alarming rate. Slogans of “Corona Go! Go Corona!” were raised by the Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment in the presence of a group that had gathered to raise awareness about Covid-19, also called the Wuhan Virus and the Chinese Coronavirus.

The slogans are unlikely to assist in the government’s preparation to curb the spread of the epidemic that has assumed pandemic proportions. Meanwhile, the government is trying to take effective measures to prevent the virus from causing mayhem in the country.

On Monday, a person who was admitted to the district Wenlock hospital in Mangalaru after he exhibited symptoms of coronavirus had gone missing. He arrived at the airport in Mangaluru, Karnataka from Dubai on Sunday.

Earlier, an Irish national who had suspected coronavirus symptoms had gone ‘missing’ from Odisha’s SCB Medical College. He was later found in a Bhubaneswar hotel.

Amidst the growing concerns of novel Coronavirus, a video of thousands of used coronavirus masks dumped at an isolated spot near Kalher pipeline in Bhiwandi sent ripples of panic wave among the people. Imran Shaikh, a godown staffer, was allegedly seen in the video dumping waste masks.

Jyotiraditya Scindia had tendered his resignation on 9 March, while Congress said he was incommunicado due to ‘swine flu’

The political drama in Madhya Pradesh has been speeding in a breakneck speed since yesterday. While it had been speculated for long that Jyotiraditya Scindia is ‘unhappy’ and may take a major step soon, no one was really prepared when yesterday news started unravelling that Scindia has actually done it.

While news trickled in that several Congress MLAs are hoarded up in a resort outside Bengaluru in Karnataka, a BJP ruled state, Congress general secretary Jyotiraditya Scindia had gone incommunicado.

Congress leader Digvijay Singh, when questioned by the media, chose to feign ignorance. He actually stated that Scindia is ‘unreachable’ because he has Swine Flu.

In reality, Jyotiraditya Scindia had tendered his resignation on March 9. It was reported that Scindia had spoken to Sonia Gandhi on March 9. Last night, MP CM Kamal Nath had called up a hurried cabinet meeting and soon after it was reported that the entire cabinet has resigned.

This morning, Scindia first arrived at PM Modi’s residence at 7 Lok Kalyan Marg with Home Minister Amit Shah. Soon after, Scindia shared his resignation letter addressed to Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi.

It is not clear why Digvijay Singh said Scindia has ‘Swine Flu’. Maybe it was what Scindia had told him to avoid talking to him. We can only speculate.

As per reports, Scindia was spotted driving his black Range Rover to PM Modi’s house accompanied by Home Minister Amit Shah.

In a late night development, the MP state cabinet had tendered their resignation to the CM. The same were accepted. As per reports, in a desperate attempt to keep Scindia from switching parties, Congress interim President Sonia Gandhi had even called him and offered to send him to Rajya Sabha as preferred candidate.

The BJP has maintained that should the state government topple, former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan would be the chief minister again.

Troubles mounted for the Kamal Nath-led Congress government in Madhya Pradesh few days. Congress had accused BJP of trying to topple the state government. While rumours had been rife that Scindia may join the BJP, he had always maintained that he continues to be a Congress leader. However, now it seems that it has reached a point of no return and Scindia may have finally left Congress.

Arrested members of Islamic State’s Khorasan wing wanted to replicate Colombo Terror Attack in Delhi

The Intelligence Bureau and Delhi Police have uncovered a massive plot to replicate the Colombo-style Jihadist attacks in Delhi by a module of Islamic-State Khorasan Province (ISKP) after two members of the group were arrested on Sunday. As per a report by Times Now, the arrested members, who are a husband-wife couple, were planning to procure a potent chemical Triacetone triperoxide (TATP) for the purpose. The chemical is called the ‘Mother of Death’ by the Islamic State terrorists.


In April 2019, multiple blasts rocked Columbo, capital city of Sri Lanka, which left hundreds dead. The blasts took place in churches across Columbo, Sri Lanka’s capital, on Easter Sunday, which clearly meant the blasts were carried out to attack the Christians, the minorities, on their festival to cause maximum casualties.

The two members were also looking for handlers of a gun racket operating from Uttar Pradesh. The members are originally from Kashmir but had shifted to Delhi due to the government’s crackdown in the valley. In Delhi, they were trying to replicate a terror attack along the lines of the Colombo Terror Attack on Easter Sunday that led to the death of over 250 people.

It was earlier reported that the duo planned to carry out terror attacks within the country. The couple was also operating an OSINT account Kashmirosint on social media which was popular among researchers and the media. The couple intended to achieve their desired objectives in the garb of the protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act.
