‘Keep women as first line of defense, inform journalist friends to take videos’ NSUI’s plan for anti-CAA protest by SFI

‘Keep women as first line of defense, inform journalist friends to take videos’ NSUI’s plan for anti-CAA protest by SFI

The role of the Congress party in instigating protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act across universities was exposed by OpIndia recently. We revealed that a sinister plot was underway to promote anarchy, carefully coordinated by the Congress party. Now, OpIndia has more evidence of the coordination that the NSUI, the students’ wing of Congress, is offering to these protesters.

It’s important to remember here that a carefully crafted pretense is being maintained that these are ‘spontaneous protests’ when, in fact, these are politically motivated.

The instance we shall speak of in this report concerns the protests at Madras University today which have been headed by the Students’ Federation of India (SFI). The SFI is affiliated to the Communist Party of India. The mainstream media is not reporting this fact. But now, we have screenshots from the Anti-CAA WhatsApp group we mentioned in our earlier report.

Screenshot from the WhatsApp group

Reetam Singh, the NSUI National RTI Cell Coordinator, who featured prominently in our earlier report, makes his presence felt once again. In the chain of discussion, one Poovai Kannan tells Reetam Singh that around 60 ‘students’ protested from 4 p.m. and that they were surrounded by ‘hundreds of police’. It’s the reply by Reetam Singh of NSUI that is most shocking.

Reetam Singh tells Kannan to use the girls as the ‘first line of defense’ in order to ensure that the ‘students’ are safe. “Police would never touch them,” he says, before adding, “Keep protesting peacefully”.

Screenshot from the WhatsApp Group

The reply by Kannan reveals that the mainstream media is hand in gloves with these ‘protesters’. The reply shows that the mainstream media has been acting as propagandists on behalf of the anti-CAA protesters rather than doing their actual job of reporting facts objectively. Kannan tells Reetam Singh to inform a “few journalist friends to take videos and share the same”.

Furthermore, Reetam Singh also tells Kannan that Iniyan Robert is an advocate in Chennai and will help them should they need any help. Robert appears to be a member of the group as well. Kannan then tells Iniyan Robert that should she need any help, she will contact him.

Screenshot from the WhatsApp group

Iniyan Robert is a national coordinator of the NSUI and an ‘RTI activist’ from Chennai as per his profile on Twitter. He is also a ‘Nehruvian Socialist’.

These screenshots reveal that the entire protest is being coordinated by political parties and the media is working hard to hype it up. These are, by no means, spontaneous as they are made out to be. A deliberate effort is being made to generate hysteria against the government so that political vultures can draw mileage from it. The student wings of the Congress party and the Communist Party of India are coordinating these protests but attempting to give the impressions that these are spontaneous.

One can only imagine how many more groups are being spearheaded by Congress and NSUI, coordinating attacks and protests in other places and universities. Evidently, the protests are not organic. They are clearly coordinated by Congress while trying their best to ensure that the Congress, NSUI connect does not get revealed so these protests can then be used by Congress politically to say that the “Nation is against CAA and Modi”. And the SFI, too, has made its presence felt.

It’s also important to remember that an intelligence report shared with the Ministry of Home Affairs says that some ‘political parties’ and banned radical Islamist outfits like SIMI and PFI are behind the violent protests in several places across the country. “Some political parties (names withheld considering the gravity of the case) ignited the violent acts at various places, letting opportunities to sleeper cells of extremist and militant Islamic fundamentalist organisations, Popular Front of India (PFI) and Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI)” the ministry sources were quoted as saying. Thus, quite clearly, sinister forces are at work in the country and these protests are by no means spontaneous.

Pakistan will not house Muslim fleeing India: Pakistan PM Imran Khan

After failing myriad times in internationalising the Kashmir issue, Pakistan PM Imran Khan, in yet another attempt to veer global attention towards Jammu and Kashmir, has today made an outrageous claim that there is a possibility that millions of Muslims could flee India for Pakistan after the abrogation of Article 370 and legislation of the Citizenship Amendment Bill.

Speaking at the Global Forum on Refugees in Geneva, Khan said, “We are anxious about the looming refugee crisis in the region which could escalate tensions between the two nuclear-armed countries.”

According to Pakistan Prime Minister, millions of Muslims in India want to cross over to Pakistan after the abrogation of Article 370 and subsequent imposition of the curfew in Jammu and Kashmir and recently after the passage of the Citizenship Amendment Act.

“We won’t be able to accommodate the Muslim refugees coming from India in our country,” Khan said, urging the global powers to “step-in now” to resolve the issue.

It is important to note that Imran’s refusal to accept Muslim refugees from India comes at a time when some parts of North India, especially the National Capital, are witnessing violent anti-CAA riots, ostensibly for the exclusion of Muslims from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan in the act.

So while some Indians are willing to endure batons and tear gas shells for their demand to include Muslims from the neighbouring countries in the Citizenship Amendment Bill, the Pakistani PM Imran Khan has firmly shut the door of his country for the Indian Muslims saying “his country is not in the position to accommodate Muslims from India”.

It is also noteworthy to mention that Pakistan, which was formed on the principles of reclaiming the glory of Islam and being a guiding light for the Muslim Ummah, has shunned its foundational beliefs by denying refuge to their Indian co-religionists who may be contemplating on shifting to Pakistan.

Saas Bahu drama in Bihar: Aishwarya Rai, Rabri Devi accuse each other of torture and harassment, Rai names Rabri, Misa and Husband Tej Pratap too

Saas Bahu drama in Bihar: Aishwarya Rai, Rabri Devi accuse each other of torture and harassment, Rai names Rabri, Misa and Husband Tej Pratap too

A full-fledged family drama unfolded when Aishwarya Rai, the estranged daughter-in-law of RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, married to his elder son Tej Pratap Yadav, reportedly sat weeping outside the family’s Circular Road residence on Sunday.

Following the alleged incident of domestic abuse, Rai lodged an FIR at the Mahila police station Sunday accusing her mother-in-law and former Bihar Chief Minister Rabri Devi with beating her, dragging her by her hair and snatching away her mobile phone and other belongings before driving her out of the residence. She also blamed her eldest sister-in-law Misa Bharti and husband Tej Pratap of harassing and assaulting her.

In the FIR, Aishwarya Rai said that she was assaulted and dragged out of Rabri Devi’s house at 10, Circular Road on Sunday night.

Confirming this, Aarti Kumari, in-charge of the Mahila police station, said on Monday that an investigation has been launched on the complaint received from Aishwarya. “In the FIR lodged, Rabri Devi, Misa Bharti, Tej Pratap and two security personnel have been accused. The police are investigating the case,” she told IANS.

The officer said Rai’s FIR was lodged under sections of 498 A of the Indian Penal Code (husband or relative of husband of a woman subjecting her to cruelty), 323 (punishment for voluntarily causing hurt.), 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention) and 3/4 (penalty for demanding dowry).

Aishwarya told reporters on Sunday evening, after her alleged eviction from Rabri Devi’s residence, that her mother-in-law had pulled her hair and thrashed her. After this, with the help of a policewoman, she was dragged out of the house.

Media reports have stated that Aiswarya had come with her parents to Rabri Devi’s family residence to collect her belongings.

Aishwarya’s father, former minister Chandrika Rai, said that the Lalu family will be exposed. Talking about fighting this politically, he said that those who cannot respect women in their homes, how can they respect others. After this Chandrika Rai’s supporters created a ruckus outside Rabri’s residence and raised slogans against the family.

While the daughter-in-law accused Rabri of harassing her mentally and physically the mother-in-law has also hit back, apprehending threat to life from Aishwarya.

Rabri Devi in a counter-complaint Monday morning with the Sachivalya police station alleged that Aishwarya was harassing her. In her written complaint, a copy of which was later forwarded to the women’s police station, Rabri alleged that Aishwarya suddenly came out of her room and attacked her when she was sitting with party MLA Shakti Singh Yadav on Sunday.

Rabri has also claimed that Aishwarya had once dumped garbage on her door.

The security guards deployed at her official residence rushed to the spot and rescued her safely, Rabri claimed. Aishwarya left the spot not before threatening to sue her mother-in-law (Rabri Devi) in false and fabricated cases, the former CM said in her complaint.

Meanwhile, RJD MLA and a close associate of Rabri Devi and Lalu Prasad, Shakti Yadav confirmed that Rai misbehaved with “madam” and he is a witness.

Reports of conflicts and trouble within the Yadav family have been around since the time the Aishwarya and Tej Pratap married in May last year. Fodder scam convict and RJD leader Lalu Yadav‘s elder son Tej Pratap Yadav, after filing for a divorce from his wife Aishwarya Rai in November last year, claimed that he was made a scapegoat for the political benefits of his family members.

Soon after, a video had surfaced where Rai was seen leaving teary-eyes from her mother-in-law, Rabri Devi’s house.

Viral image of man donning anti-riot gear is not of an RSS member but an AATS cop: Delhi Police

Following the Delhi Police’s crackdown against the rioting mob at the Jamia Millia Islamia University, many unfounded rumours and fake news are doing the rounds on the Internet.

One such rumour which has gained massive traction is about a man who continued to pound lathis on one of the protestors even as few of her female colleagues flanked him to safeguard him from the raining batons.

Wild rumours flew high about the identity of the man who was seen controlling the worsening law and order situation in the state
AATS squad member Highlighted in the above picture

Social Media is abuzz with the rumours that the man in red T-shirt and jeans who is donning a riot gear was actually not a policeman but an RSS volunteer. The picture of the man, which has now gone viral, has triggered speculation among many about the identity of the man. While rumours were flying about him being an RSS member, there were others who claimed that the man is a civilian as he was not wearing the police uniform.

However, putting an end to these wild rumours, the Delhi Police have repudiated the claims that the man is associated with a political outfit as well as him being a civilian. Chinmoy Biswal, the deputy commissioner of police(south-east), said that the man in question is a constable with the Anti-Auto Theft Squad(AATS).

Biswal further added that the members of AATS generally discharge their duty in civil clothes because of the nature of their work that involves detecting and stopping crimes.

According to police, the man whose picture is now going viral is a constable in his early thirties. However, they withheld from revealing his identity, citing security concerns.

One of the AATS squad members, Love Atrey, who was accompanying the constable said that their team was summoned on Sunday to take control of the deteriorating law and order situation in the wake of spiralling violence during the protests.

About 12-14 of us straight away headed to the spot without changing out attires. We donned on the anti-riot jackets and wore our motorcycle helmets before proceeding to control the mob,” Atrey told Hindustan Times.

Jamia ‘shero’ hailed by Barkha Dutt celebrates Moplah massacre, when Muslims massacred thousands of Hindus in 1921 in the name of Islam

Ladeeda Sakhaloon, the face of the Jamia Milia Islamia University protests, who was interviewed by Barkha Dutt and hailed as a ‘shero’ bravely standing against oppression, turned out to be a fanatic who gave a call for Jihad on social media. Her friend, Aysha Renna, had called India fascist for executing the Mumbai Blast terrorist Yakub Memon. We reported on it extensively yesterday.

Now, it appears that even committed ‘Secularists’ are finding it hard to believe that Ladeeda Sakhaloon actually posted those ideas. Singer Sona Mohapatra is one of them.


In the said post, Ladeeda shares someone’s write-up that says that “We are and will exist in every space as sons, daughters, grandsons, and granddaughters of Malcolm X, Ali Musliyar and Variamkunnath.” The Ali Musliyar she speaks about was a leader in the Moplah riots in Kerala in 1921 and an active orator in the Khilafat Movement that had eventually led to the partition of the country and the creation of Pakistan. The estimated Hindu deaths of the ethnic cleansing in Moplah massacre tantamount to somewhere around 10,000 and it is believed that as many a 100,000 Hindus were forced to leave Kerala in the wake of the riots.

Annie Besant described the events in her book ‘The Future of Indian Politics’ as: “They murdered and plundered abundantly, and killed or drove away all Hindus who would not apostatize. Somewhere about a lakh of people were driven from their homes with nothing but the clothes they had on, stripped of everything. Malabar has taught us what Islamic rule still means, and we do not want to see another specimen of the Khilafat Raj in India”

Babasaheb Ambedkar in his book, Pakistan or the Partition of India, wrote, “The blood-curdling atrocities committed by the Moplas in Malabar against the Hindus were indescribable. All over Southern India, a wave of horrified feeling had spread among the Hindus of every shade of opinion, which was intensified when certain Khilafat leaders were so misguided as to pass resolutions of “congratulations to the Moplas on the brave fight they were conducting for the sake of religion”.”

The number of Hindu Temples that were destroyed in the genocide is speculated to be a hundred. Forcible conversion of Hindus were rampant and unspeakable atrocities were poured upon Hindus. It can be read about in more detail here. Thus, the fact that the Face of the Jamia Milia Islamia University protests is endorsing a statement that says she will live as a daughter and granddaughter of Ali Musliyar is a further testament of her Jihadist inclinations. She wants to live as the daughter and granddaughter of someone who led the genocide of Hindus. These are the people Barkha Dutt and the secular brigade have lionized.

By ‘Variamkunnath’, Ladeeda Salakhoon probably means Chakkiparamban Variyankunnathu Kunjahammed Haji who was a great friend of Ali Musliyar. He fancied himself the ‘Sultan of Eranad’, the region of Kerala where the Moplah riots occurred. He is, in fact, considered the ‘Father of the Moplah Riots’. He ran a parallel government for more than a half year before it was crushed by the British. Thus, it appears, Ladeeda Salakhoon wants to repeat what Variyankunnathu did in Kerala all those years ago.

People are waking up to Ladeeda’s extremist ideology on social media. In one post, she writes in the caption “Don’t underestimate the power of a Hijabi” and the pictures show Hijabis pelting stones and carrying a gun.


Quite clearly, Ladeeda Salakhoon is an extremely radicalized individual. Given the fact that she is the face of the Jamia Milia Islamia University protests, the involvement of Jamia students in the riots that have gripped the national capital cannot be ruled out. Even if they did not participate in it directly, they could very well have instigated it. By lionizing these protesters, the secular camp is seriously threatening the integrity of the Indian Union.

Savdhaan India host Sushant Singh claims he was kicked out for speaking against CAA, but that may not be true. Read why

Savdhaan India host Sushant Singh claims he was kicked out for speaking against CAA, but that may not be true. Read why

Actor and host of the crime-based show, Savdhaan India, Sushant Singh on Tuesday announced that his association with long-running TV show has ended.


Without mentioning any reason, he tweeted how his association has come to an end. When a journalist asked him whether it was his ‘price to say the truth’, he replied saying how it is a ‘very small price’.


The ‘truth’ that was being hinted at was Singh’s stand against the Citizenship Amendment Act. He had even participated in the protests against the CAA.


Well, the news that the actor is being ousted from the show aired on Star Bharat might be true but the reason the actor has stated for his exit from the show appears to be counterfactual.

According to a report published by an online publication, India Forums on December 5, the show might undergo a major change from next year as police officers would themselves narrate the crime based stories instead of the current host Sushant Singh. The report said that if things go well and the changes are finalised then the alteration is expected to take place from January 2020.

So this was a change which the makers of the show were already looking into since the beginning of this month or maybe before that. Therefore, the actor’s fanciful claim that he is being ousted because he spoke against the Citizenship Amendment Act does not add up considering that the Act only came into existence after getting President Ram Nath Kovind’s assent on December 12.

Moreover, this is not the first time the actor will be replaced as the host of the show. After a gap of nine months, Sushant Singh had in October briefly returned to the show. The actor was replaced by Ashutosh Rana and Tisca Chopra in January this year after the makers came up with a new format and decided to introduce new faces.

In a similar attempt to virtue-signal and play the role of a ‘hero’ for speaking ‘truth to the power’, a Maharashtra cadre IPS officer Abdur Rahman had claimed that he has decided to resign from the service as a protest against the “blatantly communal and unconstitutional” Citizenship Amendment Bill. However, the fact was that the officer had already applied for a Voluntary Retirement Scheme (VRS) in August citing ‘personal reasons’ but was rejected.

It is interesting to note here that Abdur Rehman was already planning to retire since August. However, to earn that extra mileage, he smartly touted this resignation as a move against CAB.

Anti CAA campaign: Islamic fundamentalist organizations unite with ‘Urban Naxal’ linked and missionary funded NGOs

Anti CAA campaign: Islamic fundamentalist organizations unite with ‘Urban Naxal’ linked and missionary funded NGOs

A campaign is underway by certain organizations for the people of this country to endorse an appeal to the National Human Rights Commission to review the Citizenship Amendment Act. The appeal states, “We write to you to exercise Section 12 (d) of the Protection of Human Rights Act (PHRA) and undertake a review of the CAA.”

It adds, “CAA is fundamentally violative of Article 14, 15 and 21 of the Indian Constitution and it is only imperative that the NHRC, an ‘A’ accredited institution by the Global Alliance of the National Human Rights Institutions (GANHRI) and the apex human rights body in India, undertakes an independent review of the CAA, parameters based on the Indian Constitution and international human rights law.”

Screenshot from the appeal made through a google document

The appeal was made by Human Rights Defenders’ Alert – India (HRDA), Indian Social Action Forum (INSAF), United Against Hate (UAH) and supported by People’s Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL). OpIndia readers would be aware that we have extensively investigated the background of the PUCL and discovered that they are intricately linked to the ‘Urban Naxals’ arrested in the Bhima Koregaon case and Maoists.

We have also reported in the past that PUCL is linked to the CDRO, an umbrella network of NGOs, that is connected to Islamic Separatists in Kashmir, Maoists and separatists in Manipur. Therefore, this should immediately raise alarm bells about the effort underway to intervene in the matter of CAA by these dubious NGOs.

INSAF

The Indian Social Action Forum (INSAF) is a dubious NGO that receives foreign funds from Christian missionary organizations abroad. Chitranjan Singh of PUCL-UP was its President between 2014-16 as per the information currently available on their website. It has received significant funds from the Evangelisches Missionswerk in Deutschland (EMW, Germany) and Bread for the World (henceforth, referred to as Bread), again, in Germany.

In the past, Bread has funded extensively an NGO, Equations, that helped publish a report that called the Amarnath Yatra a ‘militarized pilgrimage’. The same report was published by Equations in collaboration with JKCCS, another Kashmiri separatist organization that is affiliated to the CDRO. Bread has also donated heavily to the Human Rights Law Network (HRLN) that is actively running a campaign to abolish Indian sedition laws in collaboration with the CDRO and its numerous affiliated organizations. Not merely that, Colin Gonsalves, the founder of HRLN, even appeared in Court yesterday demanding a judicial inquiry into the police action to flush out ‘protesters’ from Jamia Milia Islamia University.

United Against Hate (UAH)

There’s an American organization with the same name but we cannot confirm whether United Against Hate in India is a branch of the American organization by the same name. Therefore, we shall proceed under the assumption that it’s a wholly separate and independent organization.

The organization has a Facebook page and Twitter handle and not a website of its own. Therefore, it’s hard to find information on it. But we did manage to find a report on the Huffington Post that gives a clue into its ideological orientation. The HuffPo report says, “Among the organisations part of the network that United Against Hate will tap into are the Bhim Army, Jamaat-e-Islami, Jamiat Ulema-e-hind, Jamaat-e-Islami and Alpsankhyak Adhikar.” The report also mentions that ‘Senior Advocate Sanjay Hegde’ is part of the initiative as well. United Against Hate also launched a toll-free number for ‘mob lynching’.

Read: Who is instigating violence in colleges: Congress, NSUI, a sinister WhatsApp group and anti-CAA protests

The President of Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind filed a review petition against the Ayodhya Verdict that paved the way for a Bhavya Ram Mandir at Ayodhya. The Kashmir unit of Jamaat-e-Islami was banned by the government and is suspected of funding the Hizbul Mujahideen while the Jamaat-e-Islami in other states have been protesting against the CAB. The Bhim Army is an organisation whose president has been arrested in the past for allegedly violating the model code of conduct during elections.

The Facebook page provides better insight into the network’s functioning. One of the two managers of the page is Syed Faizan Zaidi, who is either a student or alumni of Jamia Milia Islamia University as per his Facebook profile. He calls himself ‘Mujahid Faizan’. We cannot say for sure if ‘Mujahid’ is his actual name or part of his actual name but what we do know is that Mujahid is a participant of Jihad. And that is why organizations such as Indian Mujahideen have the word in their name. Mujahideen is plural for Mujahid. Of course, Mujahid maybe his nickname but ‘Mujahid Faizan’ appears a very unusual nickname indeed.

Source: Facebook

We reiterate that we cannot confirm whether ‘Mujahid Faizan’ is a name Syed Faizan Zaidi has chosen for himself based on his ideology or whether it was a name given to him. Regardless, ‘Mujahid’ in his name is a very relevant fact considering the current circumstances.

The Spider’s Web

Thus, we see a network of dubious NGOs uniting to get the NHRC involved in the Citizenship Amendment Act. INSAF is an organization that receives funds from Christian Missionary Organizations. United Against Hate is linked to numerous Islamic fundamentalist organizations and its Facebook page is headed by a Jamia student or alumni who calls himself Mujahid Faizan on Facebook. Furthermore, the initiative is supported by the PUCL, an organization that is heavily linked to ‘Urban Naxals’ and Maoists and is part of the CDRO that is linked to separatists all over India.

Furthermore, Colin Gonsalves, the founder of HRLN, appeared in the Supreme Court demanding a judicial inquiry into the Police action at Jamia. The HRLN receives a significant amount of funding from George Soros’ Open Society Institute as well. The combination of PUCL and HRLN was also involved in the ‘Civil Society’ attack on Akshaya Patra. In this instance, we see the same combination of organizations collaborating with Islamic fundamentalist groups to undermine Indian national interests.

Congress workers and supporters unleash sexist attack against Smriti Irani over picture with Hukumdev Narayan Yadav

In a shameful, sexist and misogynist attack against Union Minister Smriti Irani, Congress office-bearers as well as IT cell workers yesterday posted disparaging tweets slamming the cabinet minister for seeking blessings from Padma Bhushan Hukumdev Narayan Yadav.

Indrani Mishra, national secretary of Mahila Congress and an AICC Member tweeted Smriti Irani’s picture with Hukumdev Narayan saying that Smriti is bowing in obeisance in front of a “Rape Guru” while Rahul Gandhi is asked to apologise for his rape remarks. Indrani Mishra had insinuated that Smriti is paying respect to rape accused Swami Chinmayanand, while it was actually veteran MP Hukumdev Narayan Yadav.

Another office-bearer, Pumpi Baghel, who is the national social media coordinator of the NSUI and SM in-charge of Maharashtra and Haryana posted the same photo alleging that Smriti is bowing in reverence to Chinmayanand.

Soon, Internet zombies on the payroll of the Indian National Congress posted the same picture alleging that Smriti is seeking blessings from a ‘rapist Chinmayanand’. None of the zombies realised that the person in question was a Padma Bhushan Hukumdev Narayan Yadav and not Swami Chinmayanand.


Sanjay Ajgalle, Youth Congress leader from Chhattisgarh, too joined the bandwagon in denigrating Smriti Irani for her deferential gesture towards “rapist Chinmayanand”.


Ranjeeta Mehta, who claims to be the National Coordinator of All India Mahila Congress and media spokesperson for Haryana Pradesh Mahila Congress, too shared the same picture alleging that Ministry of Women and Child Development, Smriti Irani is seeking blessings from “rapist Chinmayanand”.

The Congress office-bearers as well the IT cell collaborators not only mounted a misogynistic smear campaign against the Union Minister but they also defamed Padma Bhushan recipient Hukumdev Narayan by referring to him as “rapist Chinmayanand”. In fact, Smriti Irani herself took to Twitter to expose the agenda pushed by the Congress party.


“The man you are slandering is Hukumdev Narayan Yadav. He is a recipient of Padma Bhushan award and has dedicated his life for the country since 1960. He has done unprecedented work for Dalits and the poor. I am honoured that he accepted my greetings,” Irani tweeted.

Besides, self-proclaimed journalist Nikhil Wagle tried to take a swipe at the Union Minister Smriti Irani for her reaction on the conviction of the ex-BJP leader Kuldeep Sangar in the Unnao rape case. However, Smriti Irani shut him up for his “abhorrent” presumption.


Irani tweeted that to assume that she would stand by anyone on issues of rape regardless of their politics is abhorrent. “The law has taken its course and I’m grateful that judicial processes continue to ensure the protection of women and children,” Smriti added in her tweet.

It is notable here that Smriti Irani has constantly been the victim of the vilest and more abhorrent abuses from Congress supporters and workers after she had contested against Rahul Gandhi in Amethi in 2014 general elections. In the 2019 elections, Irani had registered a historic victory in the Amethi seat, defeating the Congress scion in a seat that had been their family stronghold since generations.

Delhi turns into a war zone as anti-CAA rioters now attack a school bus after ‘peaceful’ protest turned violent

The violent ‘peaceful’ protests in Delhi continue as anti-CAA rioters set fire to a school bus in Delhi’s Seelampur area.


In a video shared by BJP leader Kapil Mishra, the rioters can be seen beating up policemen.


As per reports, police had to resort to tear gas after ‘peaceful protestors’ pelted stones at them, injuring police officials including Additional DCP RP Meena.


A Police post was also set on fire by the mob along with police and private motorcycles. Drone cameras were brought in to assess the rioters.


The mob reportedly taunted the policemen to run after them following which they pelted stones at them.

Last week, the protests held in Jamia Nagar in New Delhi had turned violent following which the police had to use force to bring the situation under control. Communal slogans like ‘Hinduon se azaadi‘ were also chanted during the protests. Aam Aadmi Party MLA Amanatullah Khan was also seen leading the protests.

Running experiments in JNU’s molecular medicine department ruined as ‘protestors’ block entry of scientists into laboratory

Running experiments in JNU’s molecular medicine department ruined as ‘protestors’ block entry of scientists into laboratory

The JNU goons, most of them associated with the left-wing brigade, continue to protest against the marginal hostel fee hike in the University. After resorting to endless vandalism and hooliganism, clashing with the police, heckling reporters and attacking teachers the JNU goons are now up to ruining several ongoing, crucial and expensive experiments by blocking scientists from entering the university’s molecular medicine department.

Crossing all semblance of decency, the students have for the second consecutive day stopped scientist Dr Anand Ranganathan and his colleagues from entering their laboratory in the campus. The professor, who went through similar huff last month, took to Twitter yesterday and even today to share the quandary.


In his tweet dated December 16, professor Anand Ranganathan wrote that the JNU students barred him and his colleagues from entering his laboratory. He wrote that while he had exams to take, one of the fellow professors, teaching Molecular medicine at JNU had international grant proposal deadline to meet but failed to do so as he was not allowed to enter the lab. Moreover, many ongoing expensive experiments and active parasite cultures which were being studied and tested in the laboratory have been ruined since the goons stopped the scientists from entering the lab.

Scientist Dr Anand Ranganathan today wrote that the protesting students at JNU must realise wet science departments are unlike other departments that study theoretical fields. He said that crucial experiments and expensive equipment are running inside. “Taxpayers pay for our research. Who loses? All of us,” he tweeted.

A message circulated by the professor internally talked about the traumatising incident where goons barged in in an exam centre and abused and pushed the professor. “We around 12 faculty members including Dean-SES were literally made hostage and the examinees were dispelled away by the mob,” the professor narrated his ordeal. He further stated how for next one hour they were compelled to surrender answer sheets and attendance paper. Later, one of the student-goons, tore off the answer sheets and attendance paper.

Last month on the 22nd, Dr Anand Ranganathan had shared a video on Twitter, wherein the JNU students could be seen blocking the main door to the laboratory, barring him from entering his department as the security looked on.

When the scientist and columnist had intervened and asked the students to move out of his way and let him enter the lab, the students had then too, shouted at him telling him to go away. Angered by the impertinence shown by the students he was seen asking them to go away elsewhere and continue with their protest. He asked the guard to open the gates, but the security also stood helplessly trying to gently convince the students.

Notably, the JNU students had earlier kept a faculty member named Dr Vandana Mishra, who is the Associate Dean of the university in illegal captivity, abused and attacked the Dean for 30 hours. Prior to this, the JNU goons had forcibly stopped the ambulance in which the Dean was being taken for medical care even though the Dean’s health was deteriorating alarmingly.

113 Professors had disassociated themselves from JNU Teachers’ Association over their complicity and silence when teachers are attacked by miscreants and JNU goons.

One Professor Aswini Mohapatra took to Twitter to say that the 113 teachers believe that JNUTA is the root cause of the current deadlock. Controlled by the Left-wing coterie, it has turned JNU into a hotbed of Azadi brigade.

The “students” of JNU have been protesting against the marginal hostel fee hike in JNU. Even after the partial rollback, the students were not satisfied and called the roll-back only ‘cosmetic‘. The students have clashed with the police and even heckled reporters in their ongoing protests. The JNU campus was mercilessly defaced by these goons.
