Aam Aadmi Party spreads maliciously edited video to defame security forces who were attacked by a mob

Today the official Twitter handle of the Aam Aadmi Party posted a video showing security personnel throwing stones at some people. The Tweet didn’t give much information about the video clip, but used it to attack prime minister Narendra Modi. They compared the PM with General Dyer, saying that the video shows “General Dyer Modi’s police brutally pelting stones on the citizens in Mayapuri, Delhi”.


Colonel Reginald Dyer was a British military officer during the British rule over India, and he is responsible for the Jallianwala Bagh massacre on this day in 1919 in which more than a thousand innocent Indians were shot dead by the British army. General Dyer had ordered firing upon people who had gathered to celebrate the Baishakhi festival. Bringing the General Dyer reference, AAP was insinuating that security forces were attacking innocent people.

But the facts of the matter show that the people being in the in video can’t be compared with Jallianwala Bagh victims, and Aam Aadmi Party used a maliciously edited video to attack the Modi government.

The party used last few seconds from the following video, keeping only the part showing security forces attacking people. But the full video clearly shows that initially the mob had attacked the forces, and the security forces were only retaliating this attack on them.

According to reports, the incident happened when security forces were sealing illegal scrap factories in Mayapuri in Delhi as per an order by National Green Tribunal. When police along with ITBP and CRPF personnel arrived at the location to seal around 850 illegal factories following the NGT order, they faced resistance from people in the area. Other videos that have emerged from the scene show that people had attacked the security forces to prevent them from sealing the factories.

One video shared on social media shows that one ITBP soldier was surrounded by a mob of more than a dozen people and they were seen beating him. The soldier fell on the ground, and although he had a rifle with him, he didn’t use that.

Facing such an attack, the security forces retaliated and chased away the mob. In the process, few of them picked the stones that were thrown to them and threw back at the mob.


AAP’s propaganda in defaming the security forces was assisted by India Today, which said that security forces pelted stones at protesters in its headline while reporting the incident. But in the body of the article, they do mention that security forces were attacked by the mob first.

Headline and body text mismatch in India Today report

In the report, it is mentioned that “it can be seen that protesters are pelting stones at the security forces and then being chased down by the personnel who return the stones with bricks and lathicharge.” But they still chose to use a completely misleading headline.

While India Today followed the AAP narrative, few other media houses correctly reported that protesters had attacked the security forces first.

It is very unfortunate that security personnel were compared with General Dyer, who were only following a legal order and they were attacked by people who want to violate the law and continue to run illegal polluting factories in residential areas. Had police taken such action against peaceful protestors, that would be a very condemnable act. But when police forces face violent attacks, they can’t remain mute spectators, and they have every right to defend themselves and take necessary steps to disperse the mob. But instead of helping implementation of a legal order, Aam Aadmi Party is taking the side of lawbreakers.

Earlier NGT had slammed the Delhi government for not taking any action against polluting factories in Mayapuri. NGT had also asked why the Delhi chief secretary and state pollution board officials should be not jailed and prosecuted for failing to implement its order. Given such strict orders from NGT, the administration has no other option than seal the illegal factories.

Rahul Janeudhari Gandhi of the Kaul-Dattatreya Gotra is yet to wish people on Ram Navami

It is Ram Navami today. While most politicians have wished the masses on the occasion over social media, the ‘Chiraag’ of the Kaul-Dattatreya gotra, Nehru’s royal descendant, Rahul Gandhi is yet to wish. Not only Rahul, even his sister Priyanka Vadra, perhaps tired from recent havans and pujas performed in Raebareli with her mother, is yet to wish too.

While Rahul had tweeted about his visit to the Jaliyanwala bag massacre memorial, he is yet to wish people on one of the most important Hindu festivals. Even his sister Priyanka, who has been recently taking a lot of care to appear Hindu, be it putting a ‘Pallu’ over her head or wearing Hindu accessories, doing havans and temple hopping, marking the election season with all pomp and glory, is yet to wish people for the occasion of Ram Navami, the birthday of Lord Ram.

Rahul was declared to be a Janeudhari Brahmin. Before the Gujarat, Karnataka and the 5-state assembly elections in December, he was seen hopping temples and Hindu ashrams with a surprising intensity. He had even visited the Kailash-Mansarovar, the lake in Tibet which is revered as a sacred place by Hindus. His lack of concern for the festival of Ram Navami has also been highlighted by some Twitter users.


The absence of wishes on Ram Navami is especially curious because, on the occasions of Eid and Chrismas, Rahul Gandhi has been rising and shining like a chirpy bird quite early in the day.

Rahul had recently chosen Kerala’s Wayanad as his second Lok Sabha seat. Wayanad, a Hindu minority constituency, has been awash with green flags upon Rahul’s visit. Perhaps, by ignoring a communal, Hindutvavadi, RSS-loved festival like Ram Navami, Rahul is hoping to send a very secular and peaceful message to his new electorate back in God’s own country.

Wife of Mahesh Bhatt, who lied about Junaid to pontificate to Indians how they should vote, holds a British passport

Director Mahesh Bhatt’s wife and actor Alia Bhatt’s mother Soni Razdan today stirred a hornet’s nest when she uploaded a misleading picture on Twitter imploring Indian votaries to remember Junaid Khan before they cast their vote. Soni asserted that Junaid was killed for being a Muslim. This is, however, untrue, as the courts have already said that the cause of his murder was the spat over the seat-sharing in a train compartment.


In light of the incident, it is germane to bring one’s attention to Soni Razdan’s origins. Soni Razdan, while feigning to create awareness among Indian voters, is herself not eligible to cast her vote in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections.

In fact, she and her daughter Alia Bhatt both hold British passports. Soni Razdan was born in Birmingham, UK to a German mother and a Kashmiri Pandit father and she is a British citizen. The Indian Constitution doesn’t permit dual citizenship and only those who are legally Indian citizens can exercise their right to vote.

Thus, it is a bit rich coming from Soni Razdan when she moralises the Indian voters on how they should vote while herself being ineligible to vote. It is profoundly paradoxical that a British citizen is harbouring such deep concern for the choices made by Indians and advising Indians about how to vote.

If Soni Razdan is really worried about how Indian citizens votes in the ongoing elections, she should have surrendered her British Nationality, applied for the Indian citizenship and actively volunteered to create awareness among voters about the value of their votes and the choice of their candidates. Until then, her concern will only appear as hypocrisy.

Perhaps, with Indian citizenship, she would also acquaint herself with the true facts of the incidents before using propagandist versions to sermonise people on their choices.

Here is a look at the discrepancies in Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi’s educational details in their election affidavits over the years

Here is a look at the discrepancies in Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi’s educational details in their election affidavits over the years

As the Congress party again raised the issue of educational qualification of Smriti Irani, finance minister Arun Jaitley turned the table against the Congress party by raising questions about the educational qualifications of Rahul Gandhi.

In a Facebook post, finance minister Arun Jaitley pointed out to an interesting detail in publicly available information about Rahul Gandhi’s education. Jaitley noted that Rahul Gandhi got an M.Phil without a Masters degree. Referring to questions on Smriti Irani’s qualification, Jaitley wrote, “one day the focus would be on the BJP candidate’s educational qualification, fully forgetting that a public audit of Rahul Gandhi’s academic credentials may leave a lot to be answered”.

Studying the various nominations submitted by Rahul Gandhi in various elections, another notable difference in his educational qualification can be observed. In his affidavit, Rahul Gandhi has mentioned that he cleared the senior secondary exam in 1989, earned his bachelor degree in 1994 and after that did M.Phil in development studies from Trinity College, Cambridge University in 1995. He had mentioned these educational qualifications in his election affidavits of 2009 and 2014 too.

Rahul Gandhi’s 2014 affidavit

But his affidavit for the 2004 Lok Sabha election tells a different story, as it only mentions his senior secondary exam from CBSE and MPhil Trinity, and has no mention of any bachelor’s degree. If we go by the 2004 affidavit of Rahul Gandhi, he did his MPhil after completing his secondary school.

Rahul Gandhi’s 2004 affidavit

BJP leader Subramaniam Swamy also posted a letter from the secretary of Development Studies of Cambridge University, which said that Rahul Gandhi did his MPhil in 2004-2005, although the letter mentioned the name as Raul Vinci. The letter also shows that Raul Vinci / Rahul Gandhi had failed in the paper National Economic Planning and Policy, where he got 58% against the pass requirement of 60%. That letter suggests that Rahul Gandhi did his MPhil in 2005, and not in 1995 as claimed in his affidavits.


Earlier, Sonia Gandhi’s election affidavits also came under scrutiny for discrepancies in education details. In her 2004 affidavit, she had mentioned that she had obtained a certificate in English from Lemox Cook School under Cambridge University. But later it was found that Cambridge has no such school under its affiliation. Subsequently, Sonia Gandhi has mentioned it as Lemox Cook School, Cambridge in her 2009 affidavit, which means that it’s a school located at Cambridge city and not a school under the well-known university.


Fearing defeat in Amethi, Rahul Gandhi is also contesting the Lok Sabha election from Wayanad in Kerala, as the party believes that his victory is certain in this constituency as Hindus are a minority there. The Congress president submitted his nomination from Wayanad on 4th April.

After wearing gloves while shaking hands with voters, actress turned TMC candidate yells at them

Actor-turned-politician and Trinamool Congress (TMC) candidate from Jadavpur Mimi Chakraborty, who was recently in news for all the wrong reasons as she was seen wearing gloves while shaking hands with the people in her constituency, has again made headlines after a video of her election campaign went viral on social media.


Chakraborty was seen addressing people during her election campaign in a loud manner, almost shouting at them with anger. The Bengali actress who is making her debut into politics with the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, came across as highly arrogant while telling people that she had gone there after leaving everything only because of the people. Otherwise, she did not have a reason to be there.

Chakraborty’s angry rant has resulted in wide criticism on social media.


“I am here only because of you. I have no other reason to be here. I want to work for you. I am here to work for you, I have no other reason to be here. Everyone should get it into their heads. Why have I come here after leaving everything?”, said Chakraborty. Mimi looked as if she was almost intimidating the people present there.

Recently, another video had surfaced on social media, where a TMC leader was caught threatening the people that if they do not vote for Mimi Chakraborty, they will not receive any social welfare benefits from the government.


Recently, another alleged audio clip of a TMC leader was submitted by the BJP to the Election Commission in which he was heard telling the booth workers that the Central Forces were present on only 40 out of a total of 100 booths and that all the government officials, from police to BDO, were under their control.

Congress Manifesto: Declaration of disastrous legal reforms and a tale of contradictions

Congress Manifesto: Declaration of disastrous legal reforms and a tale of contradictions

Congress being the oldest national party in this country has come up with its national manifesto and had raised a wide variety of controversial topics to cater to a particular vote-bank and ideology. Congress has claimed to be a centric party but how pretentious centric party claim can actually leave you in abeyance, this manifesto is a perfect example of that. Here, I have presented a brief analysis of the self-contradictory view of Congress towards legislation and laws which it aims to reform and revamp: 

Establishment of Court of Appeals

Supreme Court is a constitutional court and only determines the constitutional questions of law. The court of appeal beneath the Supreme Court and above High Court will make the procedure excessively cumbersome and litigants will face harassment and end up paying unnecessarily in one more forum. In the times, when we have specialised and niche tribunals for a variety of matters ranging from Company Disputes, Environment, Civil and Criminal matters, this suggestion comes as an excessively chaotic interpretation of judicial system. It is imperative that there is absolutely no need for an extrajudicial system to create more pressure on litigants as it is clearly a retrogressive development which Congress is aiming at.

Another grey area where this is going to be creating complexity is by creating conflict of jurisdictions. We have come a long way from the colonial system of justice and it will definitely be a step backwards.

Women’s Reservation Bill

Commonly known as the Women’s Reservation Bill, it seeks to reserve one-third of all seats for women in the Lok Sabha and the state legislative assemblies. Introduced by the UPA-I government in May 2008, it also provides that one-third of the total number of seats reserved for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes shall be reserved for women of those groups.

The Bill showcased the political will and intent of Congress regime back then but eventually bill was not passed despite the fact that Congress got 206 seats in 2009 Lok Sabha elections. Women were involved in the early establishment of the BJP. The BJP has encouraged greater representation of women by developing women’s leadership programs, financial assistance for women candidates, and implementing a 33% reservation for women in party leadership positions. BJP has received women’s support by focusing on issues such as the Uniform Civil Code to extend equal rights to women and men regardless of religion. They have also spoken out against violence against Indian women.

Congress has over the years contradicted its own stand and has backtracked on its electoral promise and now bringing this in the manifesto is a mere eyewash.

Repeal of Sedition and Criminal Defamation

Section 124 A of the IPC deals with the Sedition. Now, Congress has ruled India over 60 years since Independence and shall be credited for misusing the law more than anyone. 

Congress misused Sedition Law during its tenure. Thousands of sedition cases were filed against citizens during the 10-year UPA rule alone. Take the case of agitation against the nuclear power plant at Kudankulam in Tamil Nadu. A fact-finding team comprising journalists and civil society members had found that FIRs were registered against 55,795 people and around 23,000 agitators were arrested, while sedition charges were slapped against around 9,000 of them for “waging war against the Government of India”. UPA Government holds a record of filing highest number of cases.

Whether it was Aseem Trivedi (Cartoonist), Binayak Sen(Professor) or Raj Thackeray (Politician), everybody from different facets of public life faced the wrath of Macaulay’s colonial legislation. Congress has received this legislation as a legacy but now because of political compulsions and cater to a particular vote-bank, Congress has again taken policy U-turn.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and his media associates like The Wire have been prosecuted under Criminal Defamation case due to their allegations in bringing disrepute to RSS and Modi Government. The Supreme Court has upheld the constitutional validity of the country’s colonial-era criminal defamation laws, ruling that they are not in conflict with the right to free speech.

The judgement will put politicians and media figures, some of whom are already facing charges of criminal defamation, on the defensive. Some expressed concern that it could muzzle freedom of speech.

The apex court concluded there will be “no chilling” effect on the latter because of criminal sanctions.

Dissent is required, but it does not grant an unfettered right to damage a reputation, said a bench comprising justices Dipak Misra and Prafulla C. Pant.

Rahul Gandhi also filed a writ challenging criminal defamation which was disposed of by Supreme Court. The manifesto shows disrespect of Congress towards apex constitutional court.

Amendment of AFSPA

AFSPA has to be credited as the reason why Kashmir and insurgency-affected areas of North-east are still an integral part of India. Supreme Court has upheld the constitutional validity of AFSPA in Extra-Judicial Execution Families Association v/s. Union of India. It was held by both Honorable Judges that “We are aware that this decision does not make it easier to deal with that reality. This is the fate of democracy, as not all means are acceptable to it, and not all methods employed by its enemies are open to it. Sometimes democracy must fight with one hand tied behind its back. Nonetheless, it has the upper hand. Preserving the rule of law and recognition of individual liberties constitute an important component of its understanding of security. At the end of the day, they strengthen its spirit and strength and allow it to overcome its difficulties.”

Supreme Court in its tone is loud and clear on upholding the constitutionality of the Act. However, the Interlocutory Committee Report presented by the Home Ministry in UPA Government had echoed the same views under the presidentship of Dilip Pedgaonkar. The then Home Minister Chidambaram also subscribe to the same views and this is definitely a threat to Indian Nationalism and unity and integrity.

The Congress manifesto is misleading the nation on issues where the Supreme Court has already upheld the constitutional validity of legal issues. There is no new finding and innovation in the manifesto and it looks like old wine in a new bottle.

From Pulwama terrorist Ahmed Dar to Maoists who killed BJP MLA: Here is how they speak the same language as ‘Liberals’ demonising Hindus and RSS

From Pulwama terrorist Ahmed Dar to Maoists who killed BJP MLA: Here is how they speak the same language as ‘Liberals’ demonising Hindus and RSS

On April 9, 2019, the last day of the election campaign for the first phase of Lok Sabha elections, the sitting BJP MLA from Dantewada, Bhima Mandavi was returning from campaigning for his party in his convoy, unaware of the terrible fate about to befall. In an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) blast, Naxals blew up Mandavi’s convoy, killing him and 4 security personnel accompanying him. The blast took place at Shyamagiri hills when the MLA’s convoy was heading towards Kuwakonda from Bacheli area, about 450 km from state capital Raipur.

Yesterday, the Maoists claimed the responsibility of the attack alleging that the attack on Mandavi was in ‘retaliation’ to the killing of Maoist cadres in encounters by security forces and the grant of iron mining permission to Adani group in Dantewada. Defending the horrifying killing of the BJP legislator, the secretary for the Dankarnaya Special Zone and Darbha Division Committee of the banned Communist Party of India-Maoist, Sainath, claimed that the gruesome killing was in response to the aggressive Hindutva agenda pursued by the BJP and the RSS which seeks to divide people into the lines of caste, community and religion.

This is exactly what the Liberals have been bellowing against the BJP government ever since it came to power in 2014. From the last 5 years, Liberals across the country have fanned fear among the minorities by raising a bugbear of BJP-RSS attempting to turn this country into a Hindu Rashtra. For any untoward incident happened against persons belonging to minority communities, the Liberals have jumped the gun to hold ‘Hinduism’ pursued by BJP-RSS responsible for it. This, when the RSS has made it amply clear that

Juxtapose the reasons given by Sainath for carrying out an attack on BJP MLA with the assertions made by the Pulwama terrorist Adil Ahmad Dar in the video released by the Jaish-e-Muhammad terror outfit following the attack on the CRPF convoy that killed 40 CRPF personnel. Expressing his unmitigated hatred from Hindus, Dar justifies their killings by calling them ‘infidels’ and ‘cow piss drinkers‘. For many Liberals, Ahmed Dar was a manifestation of the growing resentment among the Kashmiri Muslims against the BJP’s pro-Hindu policies.

The Liberals masquerading as terror apologists then, instead of issuing an unconditional condemnation for the attack carried out by Dar blamed the perceived excesses by the security forces for pushing him towards extremism and held the central government’s supposedly anti-Muslim stance and pro-Hindu policies responsible for the Pulwama tragedy.

In fact, one of them went a step ahead and did a caste-based analysis of the soldiers killed in the attack. In an apparent reference to Modi and Shah, the journalist contended that lower caste soldiers had to pay with their lives for the bravado displayed by upper caste Hindus. Liberals also conjured up imagined Kashmiri victims and started a rumour that Kashmiri students were being attacked in various colleges and universities across India by the hostile RSS-BJP supporters in the aftermath of the Pulwama attack.

In 2015, a 15-year old Junaid Khan lost his life in a scuffle over the seat in a train compartment. However, in no time the Liberals spun the story and presented it as an attack on a Muslim by Hindutva sympathisers and castigated the BJP government for empowering such mobs to operate with impunity. However, it was later observed by the courts that the attack on Junaid Khan was because of the dispute over the berth in a train compartment and not a coordinated mob attack against a citizen belonging to a minority as the Liberals would have us believe.

There’s a stark similarity in the explanation tendered by Sainath while reasoning the murder of BJP MLA Bhima Mandavi and that of the terror apologists who defended the atrocity committed by Ahmed Dar and twisted it to pin the blame on RSS-BJP. The Maoist and terrorists are now co-opting the arguments peddled by Liberals to justify their vile acts against their adversaries. This link between the Naxals, terrorists and the Liberals was well-explain in the film-director Vivek Agnihotri’s book ‘The Urban Naxals’. The book exposed the vile nexus of Liberals with the Naxals and terrorists and all their shenanigans which until then had been meticulously hidden from the world were exposed in the book.

The Liberal-favoured Congress governments in the past have denied Hindus their rights, appeased Muslims and other minorities and have also concocted the term Hindu Terrorism taking Hindus on a guilt-ride. The BJP government, on the other hand, had abandoned appeasement politics, debunked the Hindu Terror bogey raised by Congress and restored the Hindu glory back which seems to be unpalatable to the Liberal cabal.

The Hindus who were conditioned to remain oppressed by the previous governments and their allies from the ‘Liberal’ community have finally awakened to the injustices meted out to them. Perhaps, this awakening which manifested itself into a thumping majority to the Modi government has spooked the Liberal community which is using every incident to ridicule the BJP government and demonise the Hindus.

The perpetrators across the length and breadth of the country, from Kashmir to Dantewada are now echoing what the Liberals have been saying since Modi came to power. Every egregious act is being vociferously justified and defended by blaming the surging Hinduism and holding the BJP-RSS governments liable for them.

Liberals have, perhaps, realised that the only way to get a government at the centre who is sympathetic to their world view is by demonising the Hindus and excoriating the BJP government’s pro-Hindu policies responsible for any unfortunate incident in the country. Such is the deep-seated hatred for Hindus and Hinduism amongst Liberals that they have no qualms if the terrorists and Maoist co-opt their contentions.

Had told Mulayam Singh that my morphed, lewd pictures were being circulated by Azam Khan : Jaya Prada

BJP Lok Sabha candidate from Rampur constituency and former Samajwadi Party leader Jaya Prada, while addressing a public rally, called sitting MLA of SP from Rampur, Azam Khan as the reason behind her leaving Rampur. She said that she used to call Azam khan her brother but he cursed and insulted her instead.


“Do my brothers here ever see me as a mere dancer?” she questioned. Prada said that she had even brought this behaviour of Khan to SP patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav’s notice.


The veteran actor-turned-politician said that she had even complained to Mulayam Singh that her morphed pictures were being circulated in Rampur and had asked for his help but no leader came out in her support to save her. And therefore she had to leave Rampur.

Jayaprada, who had earlier said that the character of Khilji in the movie Padmavat reminded her of Azam Khan because of the way Khan has tried to take revenge on her, had also accused Azam Khan of attempting an acid attack on her and harassing her. She said that she had no certainty whether she would be alive the next day.

Last month, Azam Khan‘s close aide and SP Sambhal District President Firoz Khan using a highly condemnable language for Prada had remarked that the residents of Rampur would remain entertained and their evenings would be colorful because Jyada Prada would be visiting the district frequently for campaigning for the Lok Sabha elections.

Newslaundry columnist demands that BJP be banned from 2019 elections based on a debunked lie

Newslaundry columnist demands that BJP be banned from 2019 elections based on a debunked lie

The election season is upon us and with it, the lies and propaganda that ‘journalists’ spread from behind the veil of neutrality also seem to be peaking. Columnist of the leftist portal Newslaundry was found spreading fake news and demanding that BJP be banned from contesting in the 2019 elections on the basis of that fake news, that has already been debunked.


Jas Oberoi, a columnist with Newslaundry tweeted that Uttar Pradesh police was openly distributing food packets with NaMo and BJP written on them in Noida. He followed that with the assertion that had this happened in any other sane part of the world, the political party involved would have been banned from the election. But that would not happen in India.

Motivated propagandists like Jas Oberoi have never been too keen on checking their facts before making wild allegations and that is exactly what happened here. Incidentally, hours before Oberoi tweeted, this lie had already been debunked summarily.

While the first phase of polling was on its way, at about 10:45 AM on 11th April a journalist associated with Times Now tweeted that ‘NaMo’ (instead of Namo) food packets are at play in Noida, implying that the food was ‘branded’ on the name of Prime Minister Narendra Modi who is often referred to as NaMo. He claimed that he himself had not clicked the picture, but his friend had clicked and sent it to him. This lie was picked up by several Congress politicians, journalists and even “Fact-checkers” associated with international news agencies like AFP.

As it turned out, Namo Food (which was mischievously written as ‘NaMo Food’ by propagandists) has nothing to do with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and is an actual restaurant based in Noida. In fact, Namo Foods has not one but 4 food outlets in Noida as per the food search website ‘Zomato’. Senior Superintendent of Police, Gautam Buddh Nagar also took to Twitter to clarify that the food packets were procured at the local level for the police officers on election duty.

The clarification had already come in by 12:12 PM on 11th April 2019. However, the columnist with the NewsLaundry decided to further peddle this on 11th evening even after the issue had been put to rest.

Incidentally, this is not the first time that Jas Oberoi who works with Newslaundry had peddled lies and bigotry on Social Media. Earlier, Jas Oberoi had asked a Sikh man to give up Sikhism when he had challenged Mamata Banerjee to stop Durga visarjan during Durga Puja. Tajinder Bagga’s support for a Hindu festival had offended the NewsLaundry columnist so much that he deemed Bagga unfit to be called a Sikh. In 2017, he had displayed his bigotry in all its glory, by trying to pass off a 2016 video of Prime Minister Narendra Modi meeting Sayed Fakhar Kazmi Chisty of Ajmer Sharif, as a new video. Not only that, he had said this was Modi’s attempt to appease the Muslim minority in Gujarat which was about to go to polls at that time.

Jas Oberoi had also lied blatantly when he had asserted that the press conference held by Judge Loya’s son to implore journalists and activists to leave his family alone, was organised by Amit Shah, the President of BJP. In fact, when the abusive Newslaundry columnist, whose propaganda was re-tweeted by AAP chief and Delhi’s Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, was presented with facts, he showed his arrogance by refusing to accept correction. In reality, the son of Judge Loya had thanked his lawyer Ameet for the support, and propagandists like Oberoi had twisted that to insinuate that it was Amit Shah who had organised the press conference.

Congress, communists and Muslim League have attacked the root of our faith in Sabarimala: PM Modi in Tamil Nadu

PM Narendra Modi is addressing a massive public rally in Tamil Nadu’s Ramanathapuram. PM Modi has highlighted many local issues concerning the people of Tamil Nadu and has reiterated his party’s commitment towards the progress and socio-economic development of the region.

PM Modi started his speech by stating that he is an MP from Varanasi, a place that is connected to Ramanathapuram by bonds of spirituality.

Discussing the water scarcity issues faced by the people in regions of Tamil Nadu, PM Modi repeated the promise made in the BJP’s manifesto that there will be a separate ministry ‘Jal Shakti’ for the optimum utilisation of water resources.

During the release of BJP’s manifesto, PM Modi had mentioned that the states like Rajasthan and Gujarat have been facing water problems for decades and they have managed to find alternatives to battle the issue. However, there are several states, like Tamil Nadu, which have been exposed to the problem in recent past and thus need a better, effective water resource utilisation roadmap.


Repeating his promise today, PM Modi assured the people of Ramanathapuram that there will be separate ministry called ‘Jal Shakti’ in the new Modi government. He stated that the new ministry will be dedicated to water conservation and resource utilisation.


The BJP manifesto promises that the new government will also focus on getting pipe water to every household in the country.

Addressing the public in Tamil Nadu, PM Modi stated that thousands of people in Tamil Nadu depend on the sea for their livelihoods. He mentioned the fishing communities and stated that their hardworking Chowkidar is dedicated to their development and has been able to take several path-breaking decisions for their welfare.

PM Modi also mentioned that his government has seen to it that over 1900  fishermen have been released by Sri Lanka after the Modi government’s intervention. He added that some of those brought back were even facing death sentences. He added that a new ministry of fisheries will also be formed. The facilities of the Kisan Credit Card has already been extended to fishermen under the Modi government.

PM Modi stated that fishermen are benefitting from technology. The NAVIK technology developed by ISRO provides navigation and safety information to fishermen in their own language. Work on the Mukkayyur fishing harbor and Pampuhar harbor at Nagapattinam is underway at a record pace.


PM Modi also highlighted the infrastructure and tourism development projects undertaken in the area. He stated that his government is working on the doubling of the railway tracks between Rameshwaram and Dhanushkodi. He added that the 100-year-old iconic Pamban bridge will soon be transformed into a state of the art modern bridge.


Speaking to the people of Ramanathapuram, PM Modi reminisced about former president Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam. PM Modi stated that Dr. Kalam had many dreams for India and it is our duty to fulfill those dreams so we can take India to new heights of glory.

PM Modi also stated that the Congress, leftists and the Muslim League have been playing a very dangerous game regarding the Sabarimala Temple. They have used brute force to strike at the root of faith and expression. He assured the people that till BJP is there, no one will be able to destroy our faith and culture.

PM Modi also attacked Congress for its years of abusing power and corruption. He told people that if they go to Delhi, they will see that prime real estate has been used for building memorials for the members of one family. It is as if no other person has ever contributed to India except that one family. PM Modi stated that his government believes every Indian has contributed to the building of our nation in his/her own way.
