Recently Dr Kafeel Khan, one of the accused in the BRD Medical College and Hospital children’s death case in Gorakhpur, had taken to social media to spread false news that he has been given a ‘clean chit’ in the 2017 case in a departmental inquiry.
The Uttar Pradesh government has now initiated a fresh inquiry against him for spreading misinformatio in the media and forcibly entering a hospital and trying to treat patients during his suspension period.
On September 22, 2018, Dr Khan had reportedly forcibly entered the paediatric ward of the district hospital in Bahraich with some of his supporters and tried to treat patients despite being under suspension. Khan’s actions had caused panic in the ward and had also allegedly endangered the lives of critically ill children at that time. With this, Dr Khan faces a total of seven charges.
Rajnish Dubey, the Principal Secretary Medical Education Department, who heads the probe against Khan, has stated that the Khan has been found guilty of indulging in private practice and being attached to a private nursing home in Gorakhpur till April 2017. Dubey will head the probe on the fresh allegations too.
Without divulging the full details of the report, various media houses lapped up this information and reported that a departmental inquiry had ‘absolved Dr Kafeel Khan of all the charges’ of medical negligence and corruption at Gorakhpur’s BRD medical college where several infants had died due to disruption in oxygen supply over alleged nonpayment of dues. Media reports had even said that Khan has now demanded a CBI probe and referred to himself as a ‘scapegoat’.
On September 28, BRD medical college had released a statement in which it clarified that there have been reports in various media publications like Times of India, Amar Ujala, NDTV, News 18 as well as social media like WhatsApp, Twitter and Facebook regarding suspended Dr Kafeel Khan absolving him of all the accusations. The statement acknowledges that Dr Kafeel Khan has also made statements on social media in this regard.
It said that while Dr Kafeel Khan has been found not guilty of negligence and corruption, but he has still been found guilty of running a private practice and two other accusations. The committee is still inquiring into the matter and no decision has been taken in case of Dr Kafeel Khan. Other than these, inquiry is still on for other accusations against him.
The administration said that it is incorrect to say that Dr Kafeel Khan has got a clean chit.
In an extremely tragic incident, 30 children had died in the Baba Raghav Das Medical College, Gorakhpur over a period of 48 hours in August 2017. Some of the deaths happened after contractors allegedly stopped supplying liquid oxygen due to non-payment of dues of about Rs 63 lakh. Khan was arrested after it was revealed that he was involved with taking oxygen cylinders meant for the hospital away for use in his own nursing home.
Khan was also allegedly arrested in 2009 in Delhi on charges of impersonating someone in the examination for medical registration. Some reports have also claimed that he was suspended from Manipal University for criminal cases against him.
Even as the country is gripped in the fervour of Navratri festivities, some Hinduphobic usual suspects have resorted to demonising Hindus by passing off a 2 years old tragic news of a Dalit man beaten to death allegedly for attending a Garba event as a recent one to fuel discord among society and create fissures within Hindu community.
The case pertains to an untoward incident happened in October 2017 in Gujarat where a Dalit man was beaten to death allegedly for watching Garba event. Several Hinduphobic propagandists have shared this 2017 report to allege as if the incident has happened during the current Navratri festival.
It all started when ParanjoyGuha Thakurta, who has been caught lying through his teeth on multiple occasions, shared the old news article and depicting as if the incident happened during the continuing Navratri celebrations.
‘Journalist’ Paranjoy Guha Thakurta sharing 2017 news without disclaimer
He did not issue any disclaimer that the above unfortunate incident is from 2017. Soon, the article was picked up by the usual suspects like actor Swara Bhaskar who shared the old piece of news expressing shock at the unfortunate incident and asking “What the F*** is happening India??”

When Twitter users pointed out that the news article is about a 2 years old incident and not a current one, instead of humbly apologising for misleading her followers with a past news article, Swara continued her propaganda asking if the perpetrators of the incident are jailed or not.
Clarification issued by Swara Bhaskar that incident is old. However, this clarification didn’t get as much traction.
To her credit, at least she bothered to clarify and put disclaimer that the incident is from 2017.
The Karnataka Pradesh Congress Seva Dal too shared the old news of a 21-year-old Dalit man beaten to death allegedly for watching the Garba in its bid to assert that people in India are unsafe under Modi rule.

Congress leader Harish Iyer, who identifies himself as a motivational speaker, also joined the list of personalities who shared the misleading news without caring to inform their readers about the year in which it happened.

This triggered ‘The Logical Indian’ to publish a new article about the death of the Dalit man, portraying it as if the incident happened in the ongoing Navratri. Furthermore, no disclaimer was provided by the Logical Indian about the provenance of the incident in their headlines or in the body, making the readers believe that the incident was of recent occurrence.

However, perhaps after realising that they have indulged in publishing news without verifying, The Logical Indian abruptly pulled down the article without tendering any explanation for the same.
Fun fact: The Logical Indian’s Facebook page started out as an Arvind Kejriwal fan page in December 2013 which wanted to see him as the next prime minister of India.

The Hinduphobic bigots who partook in disseminating the misleading news report showed no regard for first verifying the news, the time and date of its occurrence and other related details before sharing it with their followers. For them, hatred for the current regime trumps everything else. It is to this end that a 2-years-old news piece was shared as the latest one to demonise Hindus as intolerant and oppressive and plant seeds of doubts among Dalits against Hindus.
In its effort to promote the central government’s flagship initiative, the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, the Indian Railway Western Railway zone, has installed three benches made of recycled plastic in the premises of Churchgate station in Mumbai.
According to a senior WR official: “It is perhaps the first time that recycled plastic is used in a core passenger amenity on Indian Railways. Following innovative and eco-friendly ways to curb the menace of plastic pollution, three benches made of recycled plastic have been installed at platforms 2 and 3 at Churchgate,” he said on Thursday. He also specified that these benches are strong and can bear a lot of weight.

These benches are made from the collection of plastic in a drive held at Western Railways under ‘Bottles for change’ Program in association with M/S Bisleri International Pvt. Ltd. They have been made from post-consumer mix plastics such as multi-layered plastic (MLP) and plastic bags/pouches.
Nearly 109 tonnes of plastic waste was collected during a fortnight-long cleanliness drive carried out by the Western Railways at its stations.
As an appreciation gesture, M/s Bisleri International Private Limited placed three benches made by recycled plastic as a part of its CSR initiative. Almost 40 to 50 kg of soft plastic went in the making of one bench, the official said, adding these seats are waterproof and ideal for outdoor locations.
The ‘Bottles for Change’ is aimed to educate the public about the importance of sending plastic objects for recycling and not to treat it as waste which leads to a cleaner environment.
“These benches are strong and heavy which will help in protecting the environment from contamination,” the ministry tweeted on Wednesday.
The Supreme Court on Friday asked the stakeholders involved in the Ravidas temple controversy to deliberate on the issue with the lawyers and law officers and devise a solution to build a new temple at an alternate site.
According to the reports, the Supreme Court bench comprising of Justice Arun Mishra and Justice Ravindra Bhat said that the Court will pass orders after the parties place a solution before it. The court asked the parties to find an amicable solution on a better location where the temple can be built.
“You find an amicable solution and come back to us. Any day we can pass the order. We respect the sentiments of everybody on the earth but we have to follow the law,” the bench said.
Hearing a plea filed by Ashok Tanwar and Pradeep Jain Aditya, two former members of Parliament from the Congress party, who had protested the demolition of the Ravidas Temple at Tughlaqabad, New Delhi, the top court said it respects everybody’s sentiments but the law has to be followed.
The Ravidas temple was demolished on August 21 by the Delhi Development Authority following the apex court’s direction. The DDA had carried out the demolition citing a Supreme Court order passed in a long-standing land encroachment dispute.
Following the demolition, large scale protests were organised by members of the Dalit community who follow Saint Guru Ravidas. The followers of the Saint Ravidas believe that Guru Ravidas had stayed at the temple site after it was given to him in 1509 by Sikander Lodhi.
In their plea, the petitioners have contended that the site has religious significance for over 500 years, even before the Government of India or DDA came into being. The petitioners argue that the government, therefore, cannot say that the temple and the samadhis of Guru Saint Ravidas are encroaching upon the Government land.
The petitioners have urged the top court to restore the Ravidas Temple at the Tughlaqabad site. The matter is now listed for October 18.
The 4th of October, 2019 marks the beginning of another glorious chapter in the history of climate change activism. One of Democrat Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s constituents declared during a townhall that we ought to start eating babies to effectively counter climate change.
“Because of the climate crisis, we only have a few months left. I love that you support the green deal but it is not going to get rid of fossil fuel, it is not going to solve the problem fast enough,” she said. “A Swedish professor said we can eat dead people but that’s not fast enough,” she said before adding, “So I think your next campaign slogan has to be this, ‘We got to start eating babies’,” while removing her jacket to show off the slogan on her t-shirt. “We don’t have enough time. There is too much CO2. Too much pollution, so we have to get rid of the babies! That’s a big problem. We need to eat the babies!” the woman continued.
The climate change alarmist politician realised that this was extremely bad PR for her lunatic ‘Green New Deal’. Therefore, she wanted people to ignore what was said by the hysterical woman. It is pretty obvious that the woman had some mental health issues but what really caught people’s attention was the fact that the woman, despite her radical ‘drastic measures’, was only one or two steps ahead of the alarmists.
This person may have been suffering from a mental condition and it’s not okay that the right-wing is mocking her and potentially make her condition or crisis worse. Be a decent human being and knock it off.
Cortez herself has been going around telling people that the world was ending in 12 years. Her solution to the menace was the ‘Green New Deal’, which advocated that all farting cows must be killed to combat climate change. It also wants to get rid of all the airplanes and provide ‘economic security’ to those ‘unwilling to work’. The estimated cost of the deal would have been somewhere between USD $51-$93 trillion. It promised numerous radical proposals that seemed straight out of a deluded fantasy of climate alarmist.
People might have only now realised after the ‘eat the babies’ scandal that climate alarmists have gone too far. But they had gone too far a long time ago. Around the world, many youngsters are now saying they do not wish to have babies in order to combat climate change. Natural selection does indeed work in mysterious ways.
Bernie Sanders, a US-Presidential hopeful, wants to fund abortions in developing countries to combat climate change. Regardless of how we feel about abortion as an issue, using abortions as a means to combat climate change, is taking things too far, as all sensible people ought to agree.

Such rhetoric combined with apocalyptic declarations of the world’s end is bound to have a negative impact on people, especially those who are not entirely psychologically stable. If the entirety of the mainstream media, vast sections of the academia, the entire entertainment industry and vast sections of the polity was hammering in the message that the world is going to end in a matter of years, despite no evidence that any of it is true, it is bound to drive even normal people crazy.
We cannot say for sure whether the woman, who wants people to eat babies, was already psychologically unstable or she was turned that way by the barrage of propaganda directed at her by sociopaths in pursuit of power. The way things are progressing, it’s only a matter of time before we have eco-terrorists indulging in mass murder to curb the human population in order to combat climate change.
Words have consequences. The insane rhetoric around climate change and the even more dubious climate doomsday prophecies are driving people insane. There’s an entirely new kind of anxiety that has developed as a consequence of the climate change hysteria. It is referred to as ‘Eco-anxiety’. Psychologists are concerned that children are increasingly falling prey to it and are advising parents to discuss the matter in an age-appropriate way.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez cannot get away by saying that the woman was suffering from a mental health condition. They certainly turned one 16-year old with psychological health issues into an icon for climate alarmism. Questions must be asked as to who pushed her over the edge. Questions must be asked as to who is responsible for innocent little children developing anxiety issues over the climate change hysteria.
The fact of the matter is, climate alarmists are driving people crazy on purpose, not due to some higher objective, but purely because they are sociopaths and want power. Climate alarmists haven’t quite literally taken to eating babies to combat climate change, not yet anyway, but metaphorically, they are certainly engaging in the most horrible form of cannibalism.
As I have said before, the climate change hysteria is the Leftist version of the Christian apocalypse meme. They desperately need another person they can nail to the cross, they want another person willing to die for their sins, they want another human sacrifice so that the world could be saved from its sins. The Left may believe they have nothing to do with Christianity but every act of theirs reveals their Christian roots.
After missing from the political action for a while, the former Congress President and Wayanad MP Rahul Gandhi has returned back to stoke a controversy over the issue of ban on night traffic along the NH 766 which passes through eco-sensitive Bandipur forest.
According to the reports, Rahul Gandhi on Friday extended his support to the protestors who are seeking revocation of night traffic ban along the Bandipur national forest. Rahul Gandhi is now vehemently supporting the movement of traffic at night in the ecologically sensitive Bandipur forest, which had been closed at night due to the death of animals.
He had also recently met Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan in New Delhi and apprised him of the hardships faced by people of Wayanad due to the night traffic ban.
He has expressed solidarity with people of Wayanad who have been on a protest for the past several days on the issue. “I stand in solidarity with the youth on an indefinite hunger strike since September 25th protesting against the daily nine-hour traffic ban on NH-766 that has caused immense hardship to lakhs of people in Kerala and Karnataka,” he had earlier tweeted.
However, Rahul Gandhi seems to have not understood the underlying issue regarding the need of a ban for traffic at night in one of the densest forests in the region, which is home for a large number of tigers, elephants and other endemic flora and fauna.
The Protests:
The current protests in Kerala are driven by the economic interests of the people of Wayanad rather than much critical aspect of environmental conservation. A series of protests erupted in Kerala against a ban on night traffic on the forest stretch of NH 766, a key highway between Karnataka and Kerala that passes through the Bandipur Tiger Reserve in Karnataka.
The immediate trigger for the current agitation was a recent Supreme Court direction to the Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change and the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) to suggest alternative routes so that NH 766 could be shut down permanently.
Since then, Wayanad has witnessed an ongoing indefinite hunger strike and several protest marches. The protest in Wayanad, which picked up with the hunger-strike starting September 25, is being backed by all political parties in Kerala.
The people of Kerala fear that a blanket ban on traffic would impact the economic development of Wayanad, particularly in Sulthan Bathery taluk. Besides, the alternative road is 35 km away, which would cost time and money besides raising prices of commodities.
Lately, Wayanad, which exists at the trijunction of Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu has emerged a major hill destination, catering to tourists from Bengaluru. The NH 766 is also used by transporters of essential provisions from Karnataka to Kerala.
If at all a complete ban is imposed on the movement of traffic on NH 766, farmers would be the worst hit as they would not be able to transport their products within the stipulated time, as claimed by the people of Wayanad.
Meanwhile, locals in Wayanad are also demanding the construction of an elevated highway that will also ensure the protection of wild animals while also not hampering their travel time. Elevated highways of such length will be highly costly, and when alternate routes are available, spending such amounts of money does not make much sense.
Ban on Night traffic on NH 766:
The ban on night traffic is not new. Ten years back in August 2009, the district administration of Chamarajanagar district, Karnataka had banned night traffic on the 19-km forest leg of NH 766 after the project officer of Bandipur Tiger Reserve had prepared a report on the number of animals being hit by vehicles at night.
The report had highlighted that night traffic would affect behaviour biology such as breeding and parental care of animals, disrupt their life cycle and make them stray to human habitats.
Hence, the district administration had banned traffic from 9 pm to 6 am. During the night, vehicles were stopped on both sides of the stretch and allowed to resume the journey in the morning.
Later, the Karnataka High Court had upheld and reinstated the ban by an interim order. The court had observed that the interest of protecting wildlife is important, and no less important is the need to protect the interest of the public, who are commuters and traders. Following an order of the Karnataka High Court, the stretch has remained closed for night traffic for the past 10 years to avoid wild animal casualties.
The High Court had also pointed out to an alternative road that is 35 km longer than travelling through NH 766, had directed the Karnataka government to upgrade this road, which runs from Mananthavady in Kerala to Mysuru via Gonikuppal in Kodagu district.
Why night ban along NH 766 is necessary?
A report in Indian Express states that the implementation of night ban along the Bandipur National forest and Wayanad Sanctuary has saved lives of hundreds of wild animals. According to Bandipur Tiger Reserve project director Thippaiah Balachandra, animal fatalities have come down significantly after night ban was imposed along NH 766, which passes through the national park.
“Before the ban, the stretch was reporting 100-odd animal deaths in accidents, but now it has come down to five to ten. If the highway is opened, fatalities would increase manifold. Over the last decade, animal populations, as well as traffic, have gone up,” Indian Express quoted Thimmaih.
The Bandipur Tiger Reserve is part of interconnected forests that include Mudumalai Wildlife Sanctuary (Tamil Nadu), Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary (Kerala) and Nagarhole National Park (Karnataka), which spreads over 990.51 sq km. The zone is both a Tiger reserve and an elephant corridor as large variety of wildlife including the elephant moves from one stretch to another, cutting the states.
Once a hunting reserve for the Maharaja of Mysore, Bandipur is one of the oldest tiger reserves in the country. It has been declared a Tiger reserve in1973 and a national park in 1984. Bandipur has 140 tigers, 1,600 elephants and 25,000 spotted deer, forest department sources said.
The Alternate route:
Upholding the night traffic ban, the Supreme Court asked the NHAI to upgrade the alternative road and sought the Centre’s opinion on closing down NH 766 permanently. There exist two alternative routes to reach Wayanad apart from NH 766. The first route to connect Mysuru and Mananthavady (Wayanad), passes through the Nagarhole National Park, which also has been closed for night traffic from 6 pm to 6 am since 2008, on the recommendation of an empowered committee appointed by the Supreme Court.

The second route is the one which High Court suggested in 2010, which is also between Mananthavady and Mysuru, but it runs through Kutta, Gonikuppal and Hunsur in Karanataka.
Currently, the distance between Bathery and Mysuru is 115 km. The proposed alternative route would increase the distance to 217 km.
The Bombay High Court today dismissed all petitions against the Bombay Municipal Corporation decision to cut 2,700 trees in the Aarey Colony to make way for the Mumbai Metro car shed. The Bombay HC also dismissed the plea to declare Aarey an ‘ecologically sensitive zone and floodplain’.
Mumbai Metro is an ambitious infrastructure project which attempts to connect every nook and corner of the city. A city clogged with traffic and people this comes as a mode of quick, safe and cheap transit. By reducing vehicular traffic the metro de-clogs the roads and an independent UNFCC study points to the fact that it shall reduce CO2emission by 2.6 lakh metric tons every year.
Aarey is spread over 1278 hectares of land, out which, the metro car shed will be only built on 30 Hectare of Aarey land and even within that, 5 Hectare has been kept intact for greenery. So in a nutshell, only 2% area of the entire Aarey Colony will be utilized for the proposed metro car shed.
Recently, a woman from Marol was threatened by an Aarey ‘activist’ from NGO Vanashakti for writing a Facebook post that supported the Mumbai Metro Construction project.
The proposed metro shed had triggered widespread protests, where assorted NGOs and film stars joined hands to oppose the shed. The protestors argue that the present government is killing the lungs of the city and destroying forests and that the move is anti-environment. However, the fact is that Aarey is not a forest but ‘grazing land’.
The campaign against the Metro project has been ridden with several lies and inaccuracies. it has almost become the professional demand of certain NGOs to stall development work by citing ‘environmental reasons’. Recently, Mumbai High Court imposed a fine of rupees one lakh on an NGO for filing a frivolous petition to stall development project in Navi Mumbai. The court noted that the PIL filed by Abhivyakti, the NGO, was motivated to somehow stall development work in Navi Mumbai.
Tulsi Gabbard, the first Hindu to run for the US President’s post, has always been a target for a section of media and politicians for her faith and her refusal to toe their lines.
Media has made many attempts to paint Tulsi Gabbard as a supporter of ‘violent Hindu nationalism’, in the same lines they declare PM Modi as a ‘mass-murderer’ and blame him for the Gujarat riots.
The media attacks on Tulsi Gabbard for being a Hindu has intensified after she decided to enter in the US Presidential race. In a recent event, after Tulsi met PM Modi during his US visit, a woman tried to corner Tulsi over her meeting with PM Modi, saying that many believe PM Modi was ‘complicit’ in the Gujarat riots that saw thousands of people dying.
Tulsi, unperturbed by the baseless allegations, raised a simple question. “Do you know what instigated those riots”? The reply was an uncomfortable murmur throughout the room.
Tulsi then proceeded to answer the reporter saying, “You are levelling a very serious charge against me without presenting any facts to back them up. My focus as a member of Congress has always been and always will be about how best I can serve the interests of the American people and our country. I have been a co-chair here at the US-India caucus, for Indians and Indian Americans, recognising that India is one of our most important partners in the India-pacific region, where I come from.”
Tulsi, an army veteran who has served in Iraq, explained further that the US Pacific command does more training exercises with India than they do with any other country. The importance of US-India partnership is something that has bipartisan support. President Obama worked very closely with PM Modi when he was in the office recognising how important the partnership is for economic, educational, and cultural reasons.”
The reporter then asked, “What about the money you get from the RSS?”
Tulsi replied, “Again, back up your claims with evidence. The contributions that I get for my campaign come from American citizens. What you are doing right now is levelling criticism against American citizens who just happen to be Hindus and who are involved in our democratic process. I am proud to have support for my campaign from all across our country from citizens who are Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, and Atheists.”
After suffering a massive jolt in poll-bound Haryana, Congress is now facing a similar obstacle in Maharashtra, which also goes to poll along with Haryana on October 21. Now, its senior leader and Mumbai Congress’ former chief, Sanjay Nirupam seems to be miffed with the ticket distribution in the state. He, on Thursday, gave hints that he would not be taking part in the party’s campaign after the name he had recommended was “rejected”.
While interacting with media persons on Friday, the former reality show Bigg Boss contestant reiterated his stand and said that while he does not want to leave the party, “if things continue to be like this” then he may not be with the party for long. He also said he will not campaign in the upcoming state assembly elections.
Congress’ predicaments after the 2019 Lok Sabha debacle just seems to be proliferating. Poll drubbing, followed by a flurry of resignations and infighting within the party is definitely no good news for India’s oldest political party.
The former MP, sulking over the rejection of his sole recommendation said, “For Mumbai, I had recommended only one name of a potential winner Muslim candidate from Versova, but that has been rejected without assigning reasons. This means the party has no need for me. I shall sit at home during elections.”
He also said that the way the party’s leadership was behaving with him the time to say goodbye to the party was “not far away”.
“It seems the Congress Party doesn’t want my services anymore. I had recommended just one name in Mumbai for Assembly election. Heard that even that has been rejected. As I had told the leadership earlier, in that case I will not participate in the poll campaign. It’s my final decision,” Nirupam said on Twitter without naming any of the city leaders.

As I had told the leadership earlier,in that case I will not participate in poll campaign.
Its my final decision.
“I hope that the day has not yet come to say goodbye to the party. But the way leadership is behaving with me, it doesn’t seem far away,” he sulked in another tweet.

Sanjay Nirupam who is known for his crass language was replaced as the city Congress chief ahead of the Lok Sabha polls in March this year following complaints by a section of party leaders that he functioned in “unilateral” manner.
Former Union minister Milind Deora had replaced Nirupam. However, Deora had resigned from the post last month following the party’s debacle in the general elections. The party could not win even a single seat out of the six in Mumbai. Former MP Eknath Gaikwad is the acting president of the city unit at present.
Prior to this, the internal discord within the Congress showed up as the ex-party chief of Haryana, Ashok Tanwar alleged that the party of selling tickets to “undeserving” candidates and called his supporters to protest outside the AICC headquarters in Delhi on Wednesday.
“For 5yrs I gave my blood & sweat for Congress. Leadership in Haryana has been destroyed. We’ve been dedicated to the Party. Why give tickets to those who’ve recently joined&criticised Cong earlier,” said the ex-party chief while protesting outside Cong HQ.
Incidentally, both these states which are going for polls this month have been Congress’ arch-rival BJP’ stronghold. BJP swept both these states in the 2014 Assembly polls as well as the recent 2019 Lok Sabha elections. In order to defy BJP, Congress along with a re-worked strategy and organisation would have required the backing of its powerful patrons. But the way it is losing out on its supporters one after the other, future looks bleak for the grand old party.
