‘Pakistani ‘pop singer’ Rabi Pirzada uploads picture wearing ‘explosives’, expresses her wish to ‘suicide bomb’ PM Modi

Pakistani folk singer Rabi Pirzada, who had once threatened a snake attack against Indians, especially PM Modi after the abrogation of Article 370, on Tuesday yet again displayed her deranged state of mind.

In a tweet, Rabi Pirzada threatened PM Modi of a suicide attack against him as she posed to a photo by wearing a ‘suicide vest’. Implying her wish to kill PM Modi, singer Pirzada referred him to as Hitler, while referring to herself as ‘Kashmir ki beti’


OpIndia cannot independently verify whether the suicide vest Rabi is wearing is real and in working condition.

Rabi Pirzada, who is known for her bizarre behaviour, had recently threatened PM Modi and Indians through a video in which Pirzada was seen playing with snakes, crocodile, as she claimed these are special gifts for Prime Minister Modi.


Through her video, Pirzada had indirectly threatened of a snake attack against him for revoking special status of Jammu and Kashmir.

Following this, Pirzada was slapped with notice after Punjab Wildlife Department took notice of her alleged violation of law after she kept prohibited exotic animals some rare cobras, snakes, a lion and a crocodile as pets in her beauty salon in Lahore.

In January, she had gone on to buy a chicken unit after Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan had promised to provide poultry and livestock to women to encourage entrepreneurship in underprivileged areas. She even posted a video showing off how she successfully managed to hatch 8 desi chicks in the vicinity of her house.

Muzaffarabad: 2 killed, 80 injured as Pakistan unleashes violence on protesters against its illegal occupation of PoK

Two civilians have died and over 80 injured in Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK)’s Muzaffarabad as the peaceful protests against Pakistan’s illegal occupation of Kashmir turned violent. October 22 is observed as ‘Black Day’ to mark the invasion of Pakistani troops in Kashmir back in 1947.

Various political parties under the banner of All Independent Parties Alliance (AIPA) had come together in Muzaffarabad for a ‘pro-freedom’ rally against Pakistan’s illegal occupation of Kashmir.


The day is marked as ‘Black Day’ in Pakistan as people in PoK and Gilgit Baltistan demand Pakistan leave their territory. However, Pakistan police resorted to lathicharge on peaceful protestors and used tear gas.


The protests in Muzaffarabad happened on a day when Pakistani Army had taken foreign diplomats to PoK to show that there are no terror camps on their soil.

Rajasthan: BSP workers blacken faces of their leaders, garland them with shoes and parade them on donkey, Mayawati blames Congress

Rajasthan: BSP workers blacken faces of their leaders, garland them with shoes and parade them on donkey, Mayawati blames Congress

In a shocking incident, the party workers of Bahujan Samajwadi Party (BSP) blackened faces of two BSP leaders, garlanded them with shoes and slippers and paraded them outside the party office on Tuesday.


In the video which has now gone viral, the party workers, who alleged corruption in ticket allocation in the 2018 Rajasthan Assembly polls, were seen blackening the faces of Ramji Gautam, the national coordinator, and Sitaram, former in-charge of the party’s state unit, and garlanding them with shoes. They also made Ramji Gautam sit on a donkey and paraded outside the party office in Banipark.

Ramji Gautam, a former national vice president of the BSP, had been appointed a national coordinator by Mayawati in June.

“Our workers are upset with the leaders. The workers have worked on the ground for five years but they have given the ticket to parachute candidates, who are of the BJP and the Congress, in lieu of money. BSP workers and leaders are being ignored and exploited,” a BSP worker present there said, furthering: “We have held three demonstrations here but the leaders have not conveyed our plight (to BSP chief Mayawati). Therefore, we had to take this step”.

Condemning the incident, the party chief, Mayawati termed it as a shameful act and blamed the Congress for it.


Her Tweet in Hindi alleged that the Congress first indulged in horse-trading and now it is organising attacks on BSP leaders in the state.

Meanwhile, Archana Sharma, vice president, Pradesh Congress Committee rejected the allegations of Mayawati and said, “This video is unfortunate. However, it also shows that there were internal differences within the BSP and as a result, their own party members tortured BSP leaders. In this situation, I disagree with Mayawati’s comment as Congress has no role in this matter. Further, in terms of law and order situation, if someone lodges a complaint in this direction, then action shall be taken.”

Finding it tough to digest that all her six MLAs in Rajasthan had jumped BSP to join Congress again, Mayawati has earlier also accused Congress of encouraging ‘communal forces’ within the country by weakening the voices which are speaking out against the said ‘communal forces’.

Taking a jibe on Congress on Twitter, Mayawati accused Congress of being anti-Dalit.

Mayawati, who after the 2018 assembly elections in Rajasthan, had declared that her party will stay out of government but will give outside support, has taken to Twitter to unleash her acrimony at the Congress party. Notably, BSP continues to support the Kamal Nath-led Congress Government in Madhya Pradesh with its two MLAs.

Amusingly, in recent past, the BSP supremo has been quite vocal about her repugnance towards the grand old party. She had recently slammed the Congress party and former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru blaming them to be the root cause of Jammu and Kashmir problems.

Earlier too, Mayawati had, slammed the Congress and opposition parties over their attempted visit to Kashmir. Criticising their intention behind the visit Mayawati stated that the opposition leaders should rather have waited and given the government some time to normalise the situation in Jammu and Kashmir.

Notably, during the Karnataka crisis, the BSP supremo had snubbed the Congress-JDS coalition and asked lone BSP MLA to abstain from the trust vote.

Jammu court orders FIR against SIT for custodial torture of witnesses and manufacturing of false evidence in Kathua murder case

In a fresh twist in the Kathua rape and murder case, the Jammu court has ordered to lodge an FIR against six SIT members, who had probed the case, for indulging in custodial torture of witnesses, criminal intimidation and manufacturing of false evidence. It is alleged that the SIT members wanted to implicate Vishal Jangotra in the case by forcing the witnesses to give false statements against him. Vishal is the son of the main accused Sanjhi Ram, who was convicted by the trial court in the case, while Vishal was acquitted.

The applicants, namely Sachin Sharma, Neeraj Sharma and Sahil Sharma had sought registration of FIR U/s 193 RPC and other relevant provisions of law against all the non-applicants (the six members of the SIT) on the grounds that the members probing the case indulged in custodial torture, criminal intimidation and manufacturing of false evidence against accused Vishal Jangotra in the FIR no 10 in 2018. The applicants were witnesses in the Kathua rape and murder case, and they had approached the Jammu court alleging that the SIT had forced them to give false statements against Vishal Jangotra. They also alleged that they were tortured by the SIT members in custody to extract false statements from them.

The applicants approached the SHO of Pacca Ganga police station with the complaints against SIT, and after no action was taken by police, they had sent a letter dated 5th October 2019 through registered post to the SSP of Jammu, for the registration of an FIR against the six SIT members. The complainants had alleged that even after that no action was taken by Jammu police, after which they approached the Jammu court. The court heard the matter and today ordered the Jammu police to register an FIR against the accused SIT members under relevant provisions of the law and report compliances to the court on the next date of hearing on 7th November 2019.

The order issued by Jammu court mentioned that since Vishal Jangotra was acquitted under the court of law and has been exonerated from all the charges levelled against him, it is further proved that the SIT members had deliberately tortured witnesses in custody and compelled them to dispose of false statements against Vishal, depicting malafide on the part of the members of SIT probing the sensitive case of the eight-year-old girl belonging to Bakarwal community. The minor girl was allegedly kidnapped on January 10, 2018, after which she was gang-raped and murdered.

The Pathankot court had convicted 6 out of the 7 accused in the Kathua murder case on June 10, 2019, acquitting the seventh accused, Vishal Jangotra, from all charges.

The courts have sentenced Sanji Ram, Deepak Khajuria and Parvesh Kumar to life imprisonment while the remaining three- SI Anand Dutta, head constable Tilak Raj and special police officer Surender Verma have been sentenced to five years for destruction of evidence.

The District and Sessions Pathankot court judge Tejwinder Singh had handed life imprisonment to Sanji Ram, Deepak Khajuria and Parvesh Kumar under the Sections  302 (murder), 376D (gang rape) and 120B (criminal conspiracy) of the Ranbir Penal Code (RPC). They have also been sentenced to 25 years of rigorous imprisonment, and all the sentences would run concurrently. These three convicts are also ordered to pay a fine of Rs 1 lakh each.

According to the allegations mentioned in the charge sheet, an 8-year old girl was abducted and drugged before she was raped multiple times by several men. The charge sheet also mentions that the victim was held under captivity before being brutally murdered.

According to a press note released by the Gujarat Police, a team led by DIG ATS Himanshu Shukla and apprehended Ashfaqhussain Jakirhussain Shaikh, who worked as a medical representative in a pharma company and Moinuddin Khurshid Pathan, who worked as a food delivery boy. The duo were caught after they approached their family members after they ran out of the money they had.

The technical and physical surveillance the police had on them led the police to the absconders. The duo was nabbed near the Gujarat-Rajasthan border near Shamlaji.

According to initial police investigation, they have revealed they committed the crime as retribution to the alleged statements of Tiwari against Prophet Muhammad. As per the police statement, the duo were in Nepal till yesterday morning and reached Shahjahanpur before they left for Gujarat.

The duo would be handed over to UP Police for further investigation. Maulana Mohsin Shaikh, Faizan Member and Rashid Pathan were already handed over by the Gujarat ATS to the UP Police for investigation on transit remand.

Tiwari, a former Hindu Mahasabha leader, was assassinated at his Lucknow office by Ashfaq and Moinuddin from Surat. The Uttar Pradesh police and Gujarat ATS sprung into action to blow the lid off a Surat-based Jihadi group that was indoctrinated by one of the accused who planned the murder, Maulana Mohsin Sheikh. Two other conspirators, Rashid Pathan and Faizan have been arrested. While Ashfaq and Moinuddin will be handed over to the UP Police for further investigation, the other three accused have already been sent to UP on transit remand.

Video of Union Minister Raosaheb Patil Danve supporting cow slaughter goes viral, minister calls it manipulated

BJP leader and Union Minister for Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, Raosaheb Patil Danve has landed himself in the soup with his controversial statements supporting cow slaughter. In a video that has gone viral now, the Union Minister can be heard assuring Muslims that they need not worry about ban on cow slaughter that has been implemented several states in the country, so long as he is the minister.

The speech was apparently made while Patil was in his home constituency Bhokardan, Jalna on the hustings for the recently concluded Maharashtra Vidhan Sabha elections. “I give wheat for Rs 2 per kg, rice for Rs 3 per kg. Should I stop it? All the illegal businesses in this district happen in this area only. Sandalwood, rice, all illegal businesses happen here. Should I put a stop on all this? After our government implemented a ban on cow slaughter, 2-4 Muslims of this region approached me lamenting that Bakrid is in the offing but they are not being allowed to slaughter for sacrifice. I told them as long as Raosaheb is in power, you won’t be stopped.”

However, after the video went viral on the social media websites, Union Minister Raosaheb Patil Danve has issued a statement stating that the video that is doing the rounds on the Internet is misleading and doctored by the miscreants. He has asserted that he had made no such comment about cow slaughter in his meeting at the Muslim dominated region of Kathor Bazaar of Bhokardan.

“It has been brought to my notice that video of my meeting during the Maharashtra Assembly election campaign in the Muslim area of Kathor Bazaar of Bhokardan is being circulated on the electronic media and other social media websites. I would like to clarify that I have made no such comment regarding cow slaughter and the video that is being shared online is manipulated to convey a wrong message in the society,” the issued statement said.

After Navjot Singh Sidhu resigned as minister, wife Navjot Kaur Sidhu resigns from primary membership of Congress party

After Navjot Singh Sidhu resigned as minister, wife Navjot Kaur Sidhu resigns from primary membership of Congress party

Months after the controversial politician Navjot Singh Sidhu resigned from the Congress party, today his wife, Navjot Kaur Sidhu, resigned from the primary membership of the Congress party in Punjab. Prior to this, her husband, Navjot Singh Sidhu had quit the party in June 2019.

Days before the Lok Sabha 2019 elections in May, Navjot Singh Kaur had expressed her displeasure over the ticket distribution.

Navjot Singh Sidhu who earlier headed the Local Government and Tourism and Cultural Affairs portfolios was divested of the ministry by the CM on June 6. He was made responsible for Power and New and Renewable Energy Sources during a Cabinet rejig that took place after the Lok Sabha election results were declared.

He did not assume charge of his new department and had tendered his resignation to the CM on July 14. Sidhu had then received flak for his decision to send the resignation letter to Rahul Gandhi instead of ideally sending to Captain Amarinder Singh who is the Chief Minister of Punjab or the Governor.

The loudmouth leader who had once asked PM Modi to learn nationalism from Sonia Gandhi and advertised unfailing trust in Rahul Gandhi, contending to quit politics if the Congress prince loses Amethi was sadly cold-shouldered by his party leaders. Sidhu’s relations with Chief Minister Amarinder Singh became strained and reportedly his decision to quit was after a public spat with Captain Amarinder Singh, who has admonished Navjot Singh Sidhu on multiple occasions over his behaviour.

While Amarinder Singh had in July accepted Sidhu’s resignation his party members had ridiculed Navjot Singh Sidhu’s resignation as drama and urged the Congress leader to show more dignity and decorum in his actions.

The Punjab ministers had reacted to Navjot Singh Sidhu‘s tweet on his resignation sent to Rahul Gandhi in June 2019 and his subsequent remark that he would send his formal papers to Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh. “This is nothing but drama from the ‘king of theatrics’. If he had to resign, he should have followed protocol and sent it directly to the chief minister,” said the ministers.

The Punjab ministers quipped whether Navjot Singh Sidhu was “so dumb” that he didn’t know that the “cabinet minister post was not a party post, and his resignation could not be accepted by Rahul Gandhi”.

Maharashtra Assembly elections 2019: Clashes erupt between the workers of AIMIM and NCP in Aurangabad

An ugly brawl broke out between the workers of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) at Kat Kat Gate area of Aurangabad following the polls on Monday. The police had to resort to baton-charge to bring the situation under control.

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bmptghB4GI]

According to the police, clashes sparked off after the polling concluded in the region. “After voting drew to a close, a clash erupted between workers of two parties. The situation is under control,” said police official.

Nasir Siddiqui is AIMIM candidate in Aurangabad Central whereas the NCP has fielded Abdul Qadeer Maulana. A minor scuffle between their supporters soon descended into a major clash as AIMIM leader Imtiyaz Jaleel who tried to intervene to settle the brawl received minor injuries from the belligerent NCP supporters. Following the clash, AIMIM workers staged a protest outside the residence of Qadeer Maulana.


“I had gone there to talk to my party workers when they were attacked(by the NCP workers). We have asked the police to inspect the CCTV footage and take appropriate action,” said AIMIM leader Imtiyaz Jaleel.

BJP had fielded its candidates on 150 of the 288 member Vidhan Sabha while its alliance partner Shiv Sena is contesting on 124 constituencies. The remaining seats are left for smaller allies. The NCP, on the other hand, had joined hands with Congress in their bid to displace saffron dominance from Maharashtra. Counting of the votes is scheduled to happen on October 24.

Uttar Pradesh: Police registers complaint against ‘journalist’ Ali Sohrab for inflammatory posts after Kamlesh Tiwari’s murder

The Uttar Pradesh has registered an FIR against ‘journalist’ Ali Sohrab spewing venom against Hindus after the brutal killing of Hindu leader Kamlesh Tiwari.

Following Kamlesh Tiwari’s murder by radical Islamists on Friday, 18th October, Sohrab had posted a tweet expressing delight. In his tweet, Ali Sohrab went on to wish the deceased Kamlesh Tiwari on the occasion of Diwali despite knowing that he is not alive anymore.

Ali Sohrab’s tweet wishing the dead Kamlesh Tiwari

Ali Sohrab’s attempts to incite and spew venom against Hindus does not stop there. He even threatened journalist Rohit Sardana and his child by saying he will pray for Sardana and his kid that someday in the future, Sardana’s kid should experience the ‘hatred’ caused due to Hindu-Muslims tensions. He was implying that Sardana had been instrumental in spreading hatred between the two communities.


Following his hateful behaviour, the Uttar Pradesh police have registered a complaint against Ali Sohrab for inflammatory messages.

The UP police in a tweet confirmed that they will be taking action against such messages and said that an FIR has also been registered at Hazratganj, Lucknow against Ali Sohrab.


This is not the first time that Islamists masquerading as ‘journalists’ had attempted to threaten peace in the society. In September, following the abrogation of Article 370 by the centre, Sohrab had tried to pass off an old image of two army men cleaning a pool of blood on a road as a recent one. He shared the misleading image implying that it was taken during the ongoing situation in Kashmir.

Ali Sohrab, by tweeting an old, unrelated image and connecting it with the ongoing situation with the Kashmir, deliberately attempted to indulge in fake news and push pro-Pakistan agenda.

Kerala Congress MP Hibi Eden’s wife Anna Eden makes controversial remark: “Fate is like rape, if you can’t resist, then enjoy it”

Kerala Congress MP Hibi Eden’s wife Anna Linda Eden has stoked a massive controversy with her callous remarks trivialising rape. In a Facebook post which she has deleted now, Anna Eden, wrote, “Fate is like rape, if you can’t resist it then try to enjoy it”, along with two videos showing water-logging in front of their house in Kochi and that of her husband Hibi Eden having an icecream.

However, her crass attempt to draw an analogy between flood-like situation outside her house and rape touched off widespread criticism on social media websites for the choice of words and poor analogy used by the Kerala based journalist.

The post was uploaded on Monday night and it was taken down on Tuesday morning after facing severe flak from people on social media.


An apology was subsequently issued by Anna Linda Eden stating that she is apologetic for hurting the sentiments of any woman who might have had faced the trauma of rape and abuse. In an apology post uploaded on Facebook, Eden said that she is sorry for the inappropriate choice of words and analogy made by her in her now deleted post.
