Naxalism flourishes whenever Congress comes to power: Amit Shah in Chhattisgarh

BJP President Amit Shah today attacked the Congress party by linking Congress rule with the growth of Naxalism. Shah, while addressing a convention of booth-level workers in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, stated that Naxalism flourishes wherever the party comes to power and weakens where the party does not rule.

“In Chhattisgarh, after the Raman Singh government came to power, Naxalism vanished. Whenever the Congress comes to power, Naxalism flourishes and whenever it goes out of power, the menace weakens. What is the relation the Congress has with Naxals?” said Shah.

He backed his statement with examples saying, “When Naxalism took birth in West Bengal, Congress was in power there. Similarly, when Naxalism flourished in Andhra Pradesh, Congress was in power and the same party was ruling when the menace entered Chhattisgarh”.

Shah also attacked Congress President Rahul Gandhi and said that Gandhi used to ask that what Modi did in last five years but he must know that BJP did in 55 months what Congress could not do in 55 years. He praised the Modi government for safeguarding the borders.

The BJP government has achieved significant success against Naxalism during its tenure in the center. As per the official statistics of the Ministry of Home Affairs, a steady decline was observed in Maoist violence since the Modi government came to power. The government has adopted a number of measures to tackle the menace of Naxalism. The measures include aggressive anti-terror operations, developing infrastructure and increased connectivity in areas infested with Left-Wing terrorism.

The result was that the people living in Naxal affected areas started demanding development and expressed the willingness to be a part of the mainstream. Last year in the month of May, Home Minister Rajnath Singh had announced the formation of a specialised anti-Naxal combat force called ‘Black Panthers’.

In April last year, 44 districts were removed from the list of districts affected by Left-Wing terrorism. This was followed by a very successful operation by security forces against the Naxalites in which 38 Naxals were killed.

Several Congress leaders have been known to be sympathetic and apologising for Naxals. There have been several instances where Congress leaders come out branding anti-Naxal operations as fake encounters and claim that the government is targetting innocents. Congress leader Raj Babbar had stoked controversy last year when he had called Naxals as ‘revolutionaries’.

Kamal Nath govt moves to ban RSS Shakhas in govt premises, Shivraj Chouhan says ‘even Nehru and Indira tried, they failed’

As the political climate in the country intensifies for the upcoming general elections, the Kamal Nath government in Madhya Pradesh has reiterated earlier claim of banning the RSS Shakhas from the government premises and forbidding government employees from participating in the Shakhas.

As per a report in Aaj Tak, the Congress government in Madhya Pradesh has already started preparing plans for implementing their claim. It is notable here that before the Madhya Pradesh assembly elections, Congress has mentioned in its election manifesto that they will ban RSS from government premises and will revoke an earlier order which allowed government employees to attend Shakhas.

As per the Aaj Tak report, Congress minister Dr. Govind Singh has stated that the government is fully committed to fulfilling its election manifesto promise. The fresh declaration comes ahead of the All-India representatives’ meet of the RSS scheduled to be held in Gwalior from 8th to 10th March.

The BJP, however, has stated that the Congress government cannot stop RSS Shakhas from being held even if they try their best. BJP state vice president Rameshwar Sharma has stated that if Kamal Nath’s government tries to ban RSS shakhas, RSS will hold shakhas at the residences of their ministers, on parks, roads and any place available but Congress cannot stop RSS Shakhas.

Former CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan has stated that even Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi could not ban RSS shakhas. Speaking to media, Chouhan stated that no government can stop the RSS shakhas or their work.


It is notable here that Congress, especially its president Rahul Gandhi and his minions have been very vocal in maligning and vilifying the RSS. Rahul had even compared the RSS to the Muslim Brotherhood in the past.

Congress leaders and supporters had even criticised their own party veteran and former president Pranab Mukherjee when he had attended an RSS event in Nagpur.

Know Imran Masood: Congress’ candidate from Saharanpur who wants to ‘chop Modi into pieces’

Last night, Congress released its first list of candidates for the upcoming 2019 Lok Sabha elections. Along with Congress President Rahul Gandhi who will contest from Amethi and his mother UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi who will contest from Rae Bareli, another name that stood out was Imran Masood, who will contest from Saharanpur.

Who is Imran Masood?

46-year-old Imran Masood has studied up to 12th standard and has 6 criminal cases pending against him. But that is not what makes him a curious candidate. During the run-up to the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, Masood was caught threatening to chop off the then Prime Ministerial candidate for the BJP, Narendra Modi, into small pieces.

“Narendra Modi se kaun ladega? Jo thok ke jawab dena jaane Modi *&*#@ ko.” Who will fight against Modi? The one who knows how to give it back to this &@*&# Modi, he had said. In 2014, too, he had contested on Congress seat from Saharanpur in Uttar Pradesh which he lost to BJP’s Raghav Lakhanpal.

Prior to joining Congress, Masood was with Samajwadi Party. He was declared the Lok Sabha candidate for Samajwadi Party from Saharanpur in September 2013. However, in March 2014 he defected to Congress and contested from Saharanpur seat on a Congress ticket.

In the above video, he also shows off his prowess and political clout he has where people associated with him could break the law and get away with him just because they are associated with him. “If you are going on a motorcycle and a policeman stops you and hits you with a stick. I have the power to stand tall and ask the policeman to get lost. The policemen now themselves step aside when they know you are Imran’s men,” he says. This is power, he says to a cheering crowd.

“For my people, I will kill also and die also,” Masood says.

Then he again asks the question on who will fight with Modi. Addressing himself in the third person, he says, “Imran Masood will fight. He thinks this is Gujarat which has 4% Muslim population. Here there is 42% Muslim population. If he tries to make this into Gujarat we will chop him off.”

Further explaining the vote-bank distribution, Masood says, “Muslim vote percentage is 42%. But even then there is neither one MP nor one MLA. Despite 42% vote share. There are 2% Thakur community votes but there is still one MP, one MLA, one minister and one MLC. There are four people in power from the Thakur community which has 2% vote share.” He adds to the caste divide by claiming how a candidate belonging to a scheduled caste will contest from general seat instead of a reserved seat.

Following his hate speech, Masood was arrested in March 2014. But keeping in tradition with rewarding hate speech, in 2017 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, Imran Masood contested on Congress ticket from Saharanpur’s Nakur seat which he lost to BJP’s Dharam Singh Saini. After that, in June 2017, he had threatened forceful agitations by Dalits and Muslims against Yogi Adityanath government. Congress too had supported Masood’s stand on the issue. “Imran is our leader and we support the stand that he has taken locally,” Uttar Pradesh Congress President Raj Babbar was reported to have said.

Recently, he was also made part of the Congress party’s election committee in Uttar Pradesh. Prior to that, Masood was also in the luxury bus with Priyanka Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Jyotiraditya Scindia during Priyanka Gandhi’s first roadshow in Lucknow.

Five reasons Mamata Banerjee is one of the ‘Famous Bengali Legends’

Five reasons Mamata Banerjee is one of the ‘Famous Bengali Legends’

A poster of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has gone viral on social media where she appears as one of the “West Bengal Legends” amongst other legendary heroes like Rabindranath Tagore, Subhas Chandra Bose and others from the state.

Mamata legend

The image included Bengal Chief Minister and TMC chief Mamata Banerjee as one of the legends. And I agree. She is indeed a legend. The multi-talented, multi-faceted multiple personalities that Mamata displays one wonders why she has not established herself in a museum already. What makes her so great?

1. Mamata Banerjee is the Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Insaan of politics, just the milder version, though

And we are talking only about the talent here, not controversies. In his film MSG Insaan, the spiritual guru-turned filmmaker who ended up as a rape convict, Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Insaan (fondly called PapaG by his fans) has played 42 spectacular roles.

Dr MSG Insan, Lionheart credit scene

Just as how PapaG is the writer, director, actor, editor, action director, so on and so forth, Mamata Banerjee, who is also fondly called Didi can play the musical instrument like an accordion, pen lyrics and even sing.

2. The pen is mightier than the sword

Penning lyrics reminds me, have you heard she takes to poetry to register a dissent? She wrote poetry to mark a protest against demonetisation and then recently she wrote a poem to target Prime Minister Modi’s government on the NRC. She picked up the pen to ‘combat saffron terror‘ where she basically equated the “illegal” with “untouchables”. However, if you go through the first few lines of the poem, it appeared that her anger was more directed toward the fact that she couldn’t go to Chicago and China for her ‘diplomatic’ visits.

Do you want to go to China?
No Comments please.
Political Diplomacy cancelled it.
Want to visit Chicago?
To commemorate 125 years of
Swami Vivekananda’s address?
Religious monopoly shut down the door.

Fact is, the organisers had cancelled her China programme and the Ministry of External Affairs had nothing to do with it. Her Chicago programme was also cancelled as a mark of respect to a Ramakrishna Mission monk who had passed away. Fair enough, friends, fine touch. Moving on to next talent.

3. Paintbrush is even mightier than pen

Speaking of talents, how can one miss out on the obvious. Mamata Banerjee’s paintings, some of which could be passed off as self-portraits in the abstract form, have been sold for crores. A self-taught artist, Mamata Banerjee has even accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of being jealous of her ‘talent’.

Another one of Mamata’s paintings.

4. Protests against investigation of scams – the worthy leader for ‘United Opposition’

When the Opposition leaders are themselves facing corruption charges and are being probed by investigating authorities, Mamata Banerjee emerges as their tall leader who sat on a dharna against the Supreme Court ordered probe in the Saradha chit fund scam. Unprecedented scenes unfolded in Kolkata in February when the Kolkata Police arrested CBI officials who had come to investigate the Saradha chit fund scam. Apparently, Manik Majumdar, a close aide of the West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, was questioned by the CBI over the sale proceeds of the paintings (like the one above) and how they were utilized. Hence, Mamata can take the bastion put an end to the speculation on who could be the unanimous leader of Opposition, at least as far as the corruption accusations are concerned.

5. Modi did it!

When a random man went mental on Mamata’s Delhi counterpart Arvind Kejriwal and threw chilli powder on him, he blamed it on Modi. Similarly, when a private airline’s flight hovered over Delhi airport due to air traffic congestion, it was seen as a murder attempt at Mamata Banerjee by Modi government. Recently, Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal government pulled out of Central Government’s healthcare scheme Ayushman Bharat because Mamata thought Modi is getting full credit.

Karnataka: Congress MP calls Pulwama terrorist attack a ‘match-fixing’ between PM Modi and Pakistan

Karnataka: Congress MP calls Pulwama terrorist attack a ‘match-fixing’ between PM Modi and Pakistan

B K Hariprasad, Congress MP from Karnataka, has stirred a controversy by mocking the Pulwama terrorist attack which claimed the lives more than 40 CRPF personnel. Hariprasad called the terrorist attack a ‘fixed-match’ between PM Modi and Pakistan. Pakistan based terrorist organisation Jaish-e-Mohammad had claimed the responsibility of the attack.

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TgfCEpQMCE]

The Congress leader asked Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad whether there was any match-fixing between Pakistan and Modi. “Ravi Shankar Prasad should clarify whether there was any match-fixing between Pakistan and Narendra Modi”, he said.

He added that without PM Modi’s knowledge, the Pulwama terror attack would not have taken place. “If you look at the chain of events that have taken place after Pulwama, it looks like Narendra Modi had a match-fixing with Pakistan people,” he said.

This is not the only instance of downplaying the ghastly Pulwama terror attack by Congress leaders. Earlier senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh had called the Pulwama terrorist attack an “accident”. Surprisingly Digvijay Singh’s remarks were supported by another Congress leader Govind Singh Kushwah who said that whatever Singh says eventually turns out to be the truth. Joining next was the Goa Congress leader who accused PM Modi and BJP President of planning Pulwama terror attack alleging that they had planned the Godhra incident too.

Such irresponsible and highly condemnable statements made by Congress leaders have not only weakened India’s case but have helped Pakistan’s false propaganda. Pakistan used the antipathy of the opposition parties in India, particularly Congress, to deny the airstrikes done by India on Jaish-e-Mohammad training camps in Pakistan. Congress party never misses a chance to attack PM Modi even if it comes at the cost of national interest.

After Congress, Akhilesh Yadav jumps in to cast aspersions on India’s airstrikes

After Congress, Akhilesh Yadav jumps in to cast aspersions on India’s airstrikes

It appears that the opposition leaders in India are leaving no stone unturned to belittle our Armed Forces in the aftermath of the Balakot air strikes conducted by the IAF. Days after Congress’ Kapil Sibal questioned the authenticity of the air strikes, today it was Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav who joined the bandwagon in doubting its veracity.


The SP supremo Akhilesh Yadav, while talking to the media, has sought proof determining the number of terrorists killed in India’s retaliatory airstrikes in the wake of the Pulwama attack. Attributing his politics to the people of India, Yadav asserted that the people of the country want to know about the details of the air strikes and the number of terrorists killed.

Akhilesh Yadav also alleged that the borders are unsafe under the Narendra Modi-led government. Dragging Rafale into the issue, Yadav alleged that the government is saying Rafales are good jets, but so are Sukhoi and Mirages, why they were not used? But as per Indian Air Force, Sukhoi and Mirage jets were indeed used in the dogfight when the PAF tried to intrude into the Indian airspace. Yadav should perhaps get acquainted with the full details before blatantly mouthing off lies.

It is also worth mentioning that Akhilesh Yadav is the same politician who had spread misinformation about two-seat Rafales being willy nilly converted to one-seat Rafales.

Earlier this week, while addressing the press conference, Air Chief Marshal had already confirmed that operation carried out by his Air Force against the terror camps in Pakistan have hit the intended targets. Air Chief Marshal BS Dhanoa said, “If we plan to hit the targets, we hit the targets.” Even after the Air Chief Marshal’s assertion, Congress politicians Digvijaya Singh, MP CM Kamalnath and Kapil Sibal questioned the Balakot air strikes.

Today Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav has used the air strikes to further his petty politics. The hatred for Modi seems to have transformed into contempt for Indian Armed forces for many politicians.

It is also notable to mention here that the opposition leaders have been asking the government and PM Modi to refrain from ‘politicising’ the Air strikes while falling over themselves to politicise the strikes in their bid to attack the government and question the authenticity of the strikes.

India made Pakistan live with the fear of ‘escalation’, while she went about her business as usual

India made Pakistan live with the fear of ‘escalation’, while she went about her business as usual

The last one week has been an eventful week for many reasons- first the airstrikes, then the attempt to violate India’s airspace followed by the capture of our wing commander and his subsequent return with the Prime Minister of Pakistan requesting for a de-escalation of the current situation.

The irony, however, is that despite the Prime Minister of Pakistan asking for peace, his army continues with its ceasefire violations. The confused signals are indicating that either both the military leadership of our neighbour and its political leaders are not on the same page or perhaps, they both are on the same page and are attempting to send a signal to the world that it wants peace while it provokes the Indian leadership.

The message from India’s political leadership is clear, if there is an attempt of provocation, the political leadership will back whatever the military leadership deems as a befitting reply. This is significant as the Prime Minister in the run-up to 2014 campaign had stated categorically that the response of Indian Government after 26/11 was too weak and he would have responded differently. Over the last week, we’ve seen precisely what Prime Minister Modi meant but beyond that, we also saw what he managed to achieve over the last 5 years.

Through successful diplomacy and multiple outreach programs by India’s Prime Minister and External Affairs Minister have ushered in a new global political scenario whereby most nations view India as a key strategic partner. Our greater engagements have enabled us to help the entire world understand our concerns and it is this understanding that has led it to stand firm with India post-Pulwama attacks. In fact, for the first time since 1971 India violated the airspace of Pakistan and attacked their terror camps- for most countries air strike is the first response however India has refrained from using it until recently. Post the airstrikes, most nations recognized India’s legitimate right to undertake such preemptive strikes- this shows that time is now on India’s side.

Diplomatic pressure in itself was enough to ensure that despite the capture of one of India’s brave fighter pilot, Pakistan was bound to eventually return him to India but the fact that his return came within 48 hours after his capture combined with repeated unsuccessful attempts by Pakistan’s Prime Minister to talk to India’s Prime Minister indicate the growing diplomatic influence that India yields.

It is through this diplomatic influence that India has ensured that it changes its Pakistan policy and looks at the challenge of dealing with Pakistan in a more comprehensive manner. While Pakistan’s political leadership claims to broker peace, the military leadership is ensuring that a de-escalation of the current situation becomes a distant dream. Their continuous provocation has resulted in a befitting reply from the Indian armed forces across the LOC. It is clear from India’s side that talks and terrorism or provocation cannot simultaneously coexist.

It is worth mentioning that while Pakistan lives in fear of escalation from the Indian side, India has continued with business as usual approach. Despite the Opposition, political analysts and certain sections in the media going all out against the Prime Minister of India, he has remained calm as he continued to work towards ensuring that our pilot comes back to India as soon as possible. While launching the Khelo App, as soon as the Prime Minister was informed of the attempt by Pakistan to target our military base, he cut the program short and rushed back to get a hold of the situation. He continued with his work, while he ensured that all necessary measures were taken to ensure a swift return of our hero but the fun part is that he was criticized for this too! Some people just love to hate Modi because they love to love “Gandhi’s”.

India has just unleashed a prolonged period of economic hardships on Pakistan due to the increase in duties and decision to speed the process of ensuring that India’s share of water as per Indus Water Treaty no longer goes to Pakistan. While Pakistan digests the impact of these measures, their immature decision to send in an F-16 will result in more trouble as the US sold them under the condition that they were to be used for the sole purpose of anti-terrorism activities. Add to this the decision to completely diplomatically isolate Pakistan and we would have perhaps managed to ensure a complete and systematic collapse of the Pakistani Economy. The new approach towards dealing with Pakistan combined economic, political and diplomatic might of India with its military might and this must be viewed by Pakistan as a stern warning should it not change it ways and stop supporting terrorist groups.

It is in the interest of Pakistan’s political leadership to curtail the military leaders and mend their ways. Handing over India’s most wanted should be the only acceptable peace gesture and Pakistan must surely contemplate it. Pakistan can no longer afford hostilities with India- India has always wanted peace and stability in the region. It is time, that Pakistan takes charge and delivers on its promises on terrorism.

What the military leadership of Pakistan doesn’t understand is that the war is already over and they’ve already lost it- time is on India’s side and it is business as usual in India while Pakistan continues with blackouts every night. We’ve struck them hard and they’re scared as they live in fear and despair. India has won already, but the war isn’t over unless they dismantle all their terrorist camps. There may be casualties as we tread on this path, but we shall emerge victorious- for time is on our side.

BEL signs agreement with Israel to manufacture Helmet Mounted Display System for Indian armed forces pilots

Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) has signed a technology collaboration agreement (TCA) with an Israeli firm Elbit Systems Ltd for licensed manufacture of Helmet Mounted Display System (HMDS)/ Helmet Pointing System (HPS) Version 02 to be used by Armed Forces pilots. The two companies signed the agreement at the Aero India 2019 which took place between February 20-24 in Bengaluru.

As per reports, under the agreement, BEL will make and integrate HMDS with night-flying vision goggles, Colour day and night display, 3D symbology, head-tracking, sensors and weapon cuing. “We have signed an agreement with Elbit to make helmet-mounted display system and helmet-pointing system under license for Indian Naval and rotary wing platforms of the armed forces,” the statement said.

The HMDS will be manufactured for Indian Naval and rotary wing platforms (helicopters).

It is notable here that under India-Israel defense agreements, Elbit Systems Ltd had opened India’s first UAV manufacturing factory in Hyderabad’s Adani Aerospace Park last year. An Adani-Elbit joint venture will produce the Hermes 900 medium altitude long-endurance UAVs for the Indian and global markets.

The HDMS will be helpful in the day as well as night flying. As per reports, it has the capability to display helicopter’s flight and platform information, mission data, target information and additional enhanced capabilities such as Low Visibility Landing and Take-off, flight within Degraded Visibility Environment, Optional Weapons Management and Synthetic Vision.

It has a ‘Heads-UP- Eyes Out’ concept which reduces the need for ‘Heads-Down’ in-cockpit instrumentation observation for critical information as altitude, velocity, engine performance, warning indications and also allows the crew to concentrate on mission performance which will increase the situational awareness and survivability in all naval operations.

Wing Commander Abhinandan was beaten up, choked, tortured in first 24 hours of Pakistan captivity

Wing Commander Abhinandan was beaten up, choked, tortured in first 24 hours of Pakistan captivity

In his debriefing, Wing Commander Abhinandan reportedly also mentioned how Pakistani interrogators tried to extract crucial information regarding Indian troops’ deployment, high-security radio frequencies and sensitive logistics in the initial 24 hours he spent in Pakistani captivity. As per the Hindustan Times report, was also beaten up, choked and left sleep deprived subjecting him to physical and mental harassment. He was also reportedly made to listen to loud music to confuse, disorient him and to cause him further discomfort.

Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman, who shot down Pakistan’s F-16 jet with a short-range Vympel R-73 air to air missile fired from his MiG-21 Bison, has stated in his debriefing that he saw the Pakistan Air Force F16 going down on the other side of the border. However, Pakistan Air Force has denied that it had used F-16 for air intrusion in India and that it was shot down.

During the air-fight, Abhinandan’s MiG-21 Bison was also shot down by Pakistan, which had led him to eject from the jet, landing him in Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir. He was released by Pakistan, last Friday. He is going through recuperation and also taking part in debriefs conducted by forces to know more about his air encounter with Pakistan Air Force and further happenings.

The Economic Times report says that Wing Commander has corroborated that he got a lock onto Pakistan’s jet with his R73 missile, that he had confirmed with ground controllers. In fact, the last message that he had sent from his jet was “R-73 is selected”. He also added that this was the missile which brought down enemy’s jet.

“The use of F16 by PAF and multiple launches of AMRAAM were conclusively observed during the combat. Prompt and correct tactical action by Su30 aircraft, in response to AMRAAM launch, defeated the missiles,” the Indian Airforce had said. PAF had used AIM-120 AMRAAM missile on Indian jets to take them down, though, none of them could hit targets due to evasive measures employed by Indian jets. However, the PAF had denied using any AIM-120 AMRAAM on Indian jets, a lie that was busted by IAF.

The air intrusion by Pakistan was part of its retaliation to Indian airstrikes on the terrorist camps of Pakistan backed terrorist organisation Jaish-e-Mohammad in Balakot in Pakistan by deploying F-16s, JF-17s and Mirage-5 fighter jets to attack Indian military installations across the LoC. But its transgression was aptly dealt by IAF which deployed Sukhoi-30MKIs, Mirage-2000s, MiG-29s and six MiG-21s jets.
