Radio Mirchi RJ Sayema incites a mob to gather outside Police headquarters during the anti-CAB protests

Radio Mirchi RJ Sayema took to Twitter to incite a mob to take to protest outside the Delhi Police headquarters. She incited people on Twitter to gather in large mobs outside the Delhi Police headquarters to ‘protest peacefully’ against ‘violence by Delhi Police’.

Delhi Police had to resort to violence after protestors at Jamia Nagar, where Jamia Millia Islamia university is located, set buses on fire and raised communal slogans.
She later clarified that the mob needs to gather outside the old headquarters of Delhi Police at the ITO.


Following the tweet, netizens asked the radio channel Radio Mirchi whether the company also endorses her views.


Sayema, who is an Aam Aadmi Party supporter, has been quite vocal about her support to Arvind Kejriwal.


Earlier she had even supported and cheered when a journalist was heckled by activist-turned politician-turned activist Shehla Rashid.


BJP Delhi spokesperson also tweeted that he will ensure that the BJP Delhi will not give any ads to Radio Mirchi during the upcoming elections.


However, later on, Sayema even deleted this tweet of inciting the mob.

Delhi Police enter Jamia Millia Islamia University to flush out protesters after violence gripped the National Capital

Protests in Jamia Nagar turned violent as buses were torched and vandalized by Muslim mobs in the National Capital. The protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act began from Jamia Millia Islamia University and it is not clear whether students from the University were involved with the protests or not. Now, Delhi Police has entered the campus to flush out the protesting students.

In the video accessed by Opindia.com, noise can be heard and the ‘students’ of the University can be seen running helter-skelter. Surprisingly, all the students were inside libraries and reading rooms for a change. They are usually busy protesting against something or the other. One of the ‘students’ can be heard saying that the Delhi Police is firing tear gas shells to flush out the students. It is also reported that the Police dragged students out of a mosque inside the campus. The students again pelted stones at the Police which forced the latter to retaliate.


It is reported that hundreds of ‘protesters’ were paraded out of the University with their hands in the air. The Police said that they had nabbed some outsiders who were indulging in violence. Waseem Ahmed Khan, Chief Proctor, said that the Police have entered the Campus without permission. He said, “Our staff and students are being beaten up and forced to leave the campus.”


Jamia Millia Islamia University, which had already seen violent protests earlier, found itself in thick of violence once again. At Jamia Nagar in Delhi where the university is located, Jihadist slogans were raised. The so-called ‘protesters’ raised slogans of ‘Hinduon se Azadi’ and ‘Chheen ke lengey Azadi’ and ‘Ladh ke lengey Azadi’. The slogans translate to ‘Freedom from Hindus’, ‘We will fight for freedom’. Given the violence that was witnessed, the ‘fight’ cannot be interpreted as a non-violent ‘fight’ alone.

Meanwhile, Amanatullah Khan, leader of the Aam Aadmi Party, was reportedly spotted leading the protests that turned violent. Minutes after it was reported that Khan was present at the protest site which turned violent, AAP supremo and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal tweeted an appeal for peace.

Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia also alleged that it was actually Delhi Police which facilitated setting the buses on fire at behest of the BJP.

Anti-CAB protests: Delhi Deputy CM and other AAP leaders accuse Delhi Police of setting buses on fire at behest of BJP

Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and other Aam Aadmi Party leaders and supporters have cast aspersions that Delhi Police and not the unruly mob protesting against the CAB set the buses on fire in the national capital.


Taking to Twitter Sisodia said that fearing defeat in upcoming Delhi state assembly elections, BJP is setting Delhi on fire. He said that AAP is against violence of any form and this is dirty politics by the BJP. In the video he shared he is alleging that under the watchful eyes of the Delhi Police the buses were set on fire.

However, if one looks closely, the police is actually helping the firefighters trying to control the fire. He even shared images with red circles to prove a point that the firefighter was actually setting the bus ablaze.


Sisodia’s allegations come minutes after it was reported that AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan was part of the mob that turned violent. Defying all logic, while Khan has vehemently denied leading the mob, he even blamed the BJP for accusing him of being part of violent protests where he is actually participating.

Along with Sisodia, other AAP members were also busy spreading allegations that Delhi Police facilitated setting buses ablaze. AAP IT Cell head even extended support to allegations that BJP MP Meenakshi Lekhi and others got people to distribute petrol so that the buses can be set on fire.


AAP supporters masquerading as ‘standup comedians’ ‘Aisi Taisi Democracy’ first tried to justify the burning of buses by saying how those who are ‘setting the country on fire’ are questioning those who are ‘setting buses on fire’. After the twisted logic and justification, they claimed that it is Delhi Police, which is part of Home Ministry under Amit Shah, is actually setting the buses on fire.


After sowing the seed, they deleted the tweet but not before the AAP leaders and supporters lapped it up.

Delhi: ‘Hinduon se Azadi’ slogans raised at Jamia Nagar where anti-CAB protesters set buses on fire

Violent protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act which continued across the country Sunday have now reached the national capital, Delhi. Jamia Millia Islamia University, which had already seen violent protests earlier, found itself in thick of violence once again. At Jamia Nagar in Delhi where the university is located, Jihadist slogans were raised.

The so-called ‘protesters’ raised slogans of ‘Hinduon se Azadi’ and ‘Chheen ke lengey Azadi’ and ‘Ladh ke lengey Azadi’. The slogans translate to ‘Freedom from Hindus’, ‘We will fight for freedom’. Given the violence that was witnessed, the ‘fight’ cannot be interpreted as a non-violent ‘fight’ alone.

Three buses have reportedly been torched and firefighters were also attacked by the ‘protesters’. The visuals coming in from the ‘protests’ are extremely distressing. It’s not clear whether the Jamia students were directly involved in the violence or the violence was perpetrated by some other groups who were part of it. The ‘protests’ also pelted stones at the Police and the Police have responded with lathi-charge.


The violence occurred at Delhi’s New Friends colony, not far from the Jamia Milia University. Plumes of smoke could be seen rising from the buses that were torched.


Concerned individuals are extremely distressed at the turn of events. The videos of the buses being burnt are highly disturbing.


Two buses were also burnt near Mata Mandir in Delhi.


Meanwhile, the students of Jamia Millia have disassociated themselves from the protests. In a statement, they said, “We have time and again maintained that our protests are peaceful and non-violent. We stand by this approach and condemn any party involved in the violence.” They called the violence an attempt to “vilify and discredit genuine protests”.

Bengali actor spotted at Santragachi during Muslim mob violence, Leftist actor claims he was on way to DYFI conference

Popular Actor in the West Bengal Movie Industry, Badsha Maitra, was spotted at Santragachi where Muslim mobs were on a rampage after the passage of the Citizenship Amendment Act. Santragachi is a locality in Howrah City of Howrah district that has its own railway station.

Someone captured pictures of him at the spot and those pictures bean to be circulated with the allegation that he was leading the violence. He can be seen in the pictures wearing a Muslim skull cap.

In one picture that was being circulated on social media, smoke can be seen in the background. The actor is on the phone seen talking to someone.

Now, the actor has issued a clarification on social media. He said that he was attending a conference organized by DYFI (Democratic Youth Federation of India) in the area. DYFI is an independent organisation but quite a few communist leaders have been associated with DYFI. While he was traveling there, Badsha says he got stuck in the road and was talking to the organizers on the phone. He said that it was reflective of the state of the politics in the country that the images were being used to spread rumours on social media.

However, as one person pointed out in a comment in his post, it does not appear necessary to attend a DYFI conference wearing a skull cap. Badsha Maitra has long been associated with the Left. Ahead of the Assembly elections in the state in 2011, he had appealed to people to vote the Left government to power for the eighth time.

Journalist explains how the Bengali elite justified Muslim mob violence and paved the way for downfall of Bengal

Journalist explains how the Bengali elite justified Muslim mob violence and paved the way for downfall of Bengal

Soumyadipta, a journalist who has reported from West Bengal in the past, shared his experience on social media and the manner in which editors of newspapers deliberately whitewashed the communal crimes committed by Muslims to maintain the charade of secularism.

He said that there has been a continuous migration of Hindus from the villages of Bengal leading to the situation that we see today. Soumyadipta said that his friend from school called him saying that Muslim mobs were burning buses merely a couple of kilometers away.


The former journalist also said that it was important to understand that the Muslim mobs were not protesting over the CAB but that a law has been implemented that facilitates the entry of ‘Kaafirs’ (non-believers). He said that CAB might arrest the flow of demographic change and the ‘protesters’ are vehemently against it.


Soumyadipta said that he has seen this demoraphic shift ever since he joined journalism in 1999. But Bengali editors ‘intellectualized’ the issue in the name of communism and secularism. He said that he was never allowed to write about how Hindus were being attacked by Muslim fundamentalists. Instead of the identity of the perpetrators, it was always written that ‘locals’ were involved in the crimes.


Soumyadipta also recounted an incident of a riot in Park Circus, an area in Kolkata heavily dominated by Muslims. It is the same area in Kolkata where protests were witnessed followin the passage of the Act. He had done his due diligence and reported the names of the perpetrators involved along with the madarsa that was involved. However, in the published copy, the names were removed and the crimes were whitewashed by terming it as one committed by ‘locals’. He also received lectures on ‘secularism’ from his editor and the language in the report was ‘not how truth was supposed to be presented in the media’.


In the end, the accused were released on bail after minor charges were slapped on them as a consequence of the involvement of ‘local political party dadas’. A few years later, there was another major incident of riot where innocents wre killed and it was the same madarsa boys that were involved. Soumyadipta ended his thread with a damning indictment of the Bengali elite. He said, “The intellectuals of Bengal (authors, senior journalists, filmmakers, poets) have consistently overlooked the religious violence in their own backyard. They have justified and intellectualised the violence. They have acted as catalysts to the downfall of Bengal”.

Women pretending to be a Hindustan Times journalist wishes death for PM Modi, hopes Prime Minister’s boat sinks in ‘River Tsunami’

People associated with left-liberal media do not even try to hide their hatred for PM Modi anymore under creative euphemism. Gone are the days ‘journalists’ would express glee at him catching swine flu.

Nupur Kashyap, who pretended to work as a copy editor at Hindustan Times, on Sunday asked a social media user to pray for the death of PM Modi. In the screenshots shared by social media user Ankur Singh, one can see Kashyap praying for ‘river tsunami’. Replying to a Facebook post, which had reported that PM Modi was to accompany Chief Ministers of Bihar, Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh on a cruise to attend the first meeting of National Ganga council, Kashyap hoped that the boat which carried PM Modi went down.

However, it was later revealed that Nupur Kashyap was only pretending to work for Hindustan Times and was not actually involved with the news channel.

 

ThePrint article shared on Facebook

A social media user named Mum Tamut responding to ThePrint report had criticised PM Modi. Referring to him as ‘Feku’, she said how river cruises were more important than lives of people in Assam. People in Assam are protesting against implementation of Citizenship Amendment Act as they do not wish to allow immigrants from neighbouring countries to settle, irrespective of religion. To this, Nupur reacted and asked Mum to pray that the boat which is carrying PM Modi sank.

However, Nupur Kashyap did not stop at urging someone to pray for PM Modi’s death. Instead, she herself took the responsibility to pray for Prime Minister’s death and wished that the boat in which PM Modi was travelling goes down. She also hoped that PM Modi met with some sort of ‘river Tsunamis’.

Hindustan Times had filed a complaint against Kashyap for pretending to be an HT journalist.

‘Those who are committing violence can be identified by their clothes itself,’ PM Modi says in Jharkhand

Narendra Modi addressed a rally today in Dumka, Jharkhand as part of the BJP’s campaign in the ongoing Assembly elections in the state. During his address, the Prime Minister referred to the Muslim mob violence that has ensued across the country in wake of the passage of the Citizenship Amendment Act. He said that those who are fuelling fire across the country can be identified by their clothes itself.


The Prime Minister said that the Congress party and its allies were creating ruckus across the country. He said that they may turn a blind eye to the mob violence that has ensued but the country is watching the events unfold and people are firmly behind the decision taken by the government and the Indian Parliament on the matter of the CAA.

Narendra Modi also slammed the Congress party for its decision to protest outside Indian Embassies abroad. The Indian Overseas Congress, which was until now largely dormant, had announced that it will stage demonstrations outside the Indian embassies across the globe to protest against the Modi government’s handling of the Indian economy and “India’s deteriorating condition”.

Taking the Congress party head-on, the Prime Minister said that the work that used to be done by Pakistanis earlier will now be done by the Congress party. Calling it shameful, he said, “Does any Indian organize any demonstration in front of Indian Embassies around the world?”


Muslim mobs have unleashed violence across the country as a form of protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act. These protests have spread to educational institutions like Jamia Millia Islamia University, where ‘students’ have resorted to the extreme violence of stone-pelting against police officials.

UN Commission slams Imran Khan government over persecution of religious minorities in Pakistan

UN Commission slams Imran Khan government over persecution of religious minorities in Pakistan

In yet embarrassment for the terror state of Pakistan, the United Nations’ Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) has slammed Imran Khan government stating that their discriminatory legislation has empowered people with “extremist mindsets” to carry out attacks on religious minorities.

According to ANI report, the United Nations CSW in its 47-page report titled, ”Pakistan-Religious freedom under attack”, has expressed concerns over the increasing weaponisation and politicisation of the blasphemy laws and the anti-Ahmadiyya legislation which are being used not only to persecute religious minorities but also to gain political ground.

The CSW, a commission of the United Nations Economic and Social Council, said that Christian and Hindu communities, especially women and girls in Pakistan are “particularly vulnerable”.

“Each year hundreds are abducted and forced to convert and marry Muslim men. Victims have little or no hope of being returned to their families due to the serious threats and intimidation from abductors against the girls and their families. This is compounded by the lack of police will to take action, weaknesses in the judicial process and discrimination from both police and judiciary towards religious minority victims,” the report read.

The commission also cited several prominent examples to substantiate that minorities in the country are portrayed as second class citizens.

In May 2019, Ramesh Kumar Malhi, a Hindu veterinary surgeon from Mirpurkhas in Sindh, was accused of blasphemy after he had accidentally wrapped medicines in pages containing verses from the Quran. Later, the Islamists and protestors had burned down his clinic and other shops belonging to the Hindu community.

The CSW also stated that blasphemy laws in Pakistan, which criminalise anyone who insults Islam, are being misused to register false cases against the religious minorities and are a “source of controversy and suffering”.

“The prolonged misuse of the blasphemy laws over the last three decades, combined with the rise of extremism, has had a damaging normative impact on social harmony. The sensitive nature of blasphemy cases serves to heighten religious fervour and has created an environment of mob violence in which people take matters into their own hands, often with fatal consequences,” the report read.

The CSW also recognised that cases of forced marriages and forced conversions are common among Christian and Hindu girls and women, particularly in the Punjab and Sindh provinces. The Hindu girls and women are being systematically targeted as they come from lower economic backgrounds in rural areas, who are generally under-educated.

In its report, the CSW further stated that it had surveyed children from religious minorities, who admitted that they were subjected to severe physical and psychological ill-treatment, including being segregated, bullied, teased, insulted and beaten on multiple occasions, by both teachers and classmates. The commission also said that human rights activists in Pakistan also face constant threats and intimidation from multiple sources, including the state and non-state actors.

“HRDs are subject to harassment, targeted attacks and enforced disappearance, with little protection provided by the government,” it read.

Pakistan is notoriously known for its persecution of not only religious minorities but also ethnic minorities within their own country. The forceful conversion programmes have often been unleashed against the minorities especially Christians, Sikhs and Hindus living in Pakistan with utmost brutality.

This violence against Hindus in Pakistan is now a common affair. A series of abductions and forceful conversions of minority Hindu and Sikh girls had recently rocked the country. In March, two underage Hindu girls Raveena (13) and Reena (15) were abducted from the Ghotki in Pakistan’s Sindh on the eve of Holi. The girls were later forcefully converted and married off to older Muslim men.

Earlier, Jagjit Kaur, a Sikh girl was abducted and forcibly converted to Islam in Nankana Sahib which had caused a huge uproar. In another horrific incident, a 13-year-old Pooja Sotahar Kumari, daughter of Fatan Rathore, resident of village Bakhsho Laghari in Hyderabad district’s Hosri Taluka, was kidnapped, forcefully converted and subsequently married off to a man identified as Syed Irshad Shah.

In another attack on Hindus, a medical student was found dead under mysterious circumstances inside her hostel room at a college in Larkana area. The Hindu student Namrita Chandani, a final year BDS student in the Bibi Asifa Dental College of Larkana, Pakistan was found dead in her room on Monday. Namrita Chandani was found lying down with a rope tied around her neck under suspicious circumstances.
