Khuda ki kasam, will put Modi in jail: National Conference leader Javed Rana claims

National Conference leader Javed Ahmed Rana has claimed that he will put PM Modi behind bars while speaking at a meeting in Poonch, Jammu and Kashmir. Rana said if it was up to him, he would put PM Modi in jail for all the murders that have been committed in Jammu and Kashmir and the rest of the country.


Rana called PM Modi a murderer of humanity and accused him of creating disharmony between Hindus and Muslims. “‘Ye katil hain. Mai ye kehta hun bar bar kehta hun. Ye insaniyat ke katil hain. Inhone Hindu-Muslim parampara ko khatam kiya hai”, alleged Rana.


National Conference leaders Omar Abdullah and his father Farooq Abdullah have so far been silent on these remarks. As per reports, Javed Rana’s rant is being seen as a reflection of fear among the political opponents as PM Modi is soon going to address a rally in Akhnoor.

Along with PM Modi, Rana also blamed the media for spreading hate in the country for a “particular community”. “Allah ki kasam kha ke kehta hun mujhe power mile taaqat mile. Main desh ke Pradhan Mantri ko andhar thokun aur uske sath ye jo media hai jo nafrate faila rhi hai is desh mein, ek particular community ke khilaf nafrat failati hai yahan baith ke Delhi me, main un sab ko andar thokun”, said Rana.

He said that if he comes to power he will show what leadership means. “Kaash Allahtala vo waqt laye aur main dikhaun ke kya hoti hai leadership”, he added.

This is not the first time that Rana is using such crass language for PM Modi, he had earlier called a terrorist and held him responsible for killing lakhs of people in Gujarat. He had even threatened that he would not allow the tricolour to be hosted in the State if Article 370 was abolished by the Central government.

Rana has always been a loud mouth in NC and is often in the news for his separatist and sometimes outlandish statements. Last year he had claimed that stone pelters in Kashmir are the creation of the government and the RSS.

National Conference will be contesting the Lok Sabha elections in an alliance with Congress party.

Dehradun: 12-year-old student brutally killed by seniors, Missionary school buries him without informing parents to ‘hush up’ murder

A Missionary boarding school, Children Home Academy, situated in Ranipokhri district near Rishikesh, Dehradun has come under scanner for allegedly trying to ‘hush up’ a gruesome crime that took place on its premises on March 10.

The school authorities have been found guilty of covering up the brutal hacking of Vasu Yadav, a 12-year-old boarding school student, by hurriedly burying the boy’s body on the campus after he was beaten to death with cricket bats and wickets by his seniors.

Several startling revelations have come fore which throws light on the laxity of the school authorities and the police in handling the crisis.

According to sources, there was a delay in taking the boy to the hospital after he was beaten by students of class 12 from the same school. And shockingly, the school buried the boy’s body inside the campus after doctors declared him dead without informing his parents.

In fact, as a cover-up, the school authorities, doctors of Jolly Grant hospital where the victim was taken hours after the incident and the Ranipokhri police authorities had maintained that the death was due to food poisoning. However, the autopsy reports later revealed that the victim died of internal bleeding and there were visible marks of injury on the body.

Yadav’s father, Pappu also said that he was informed over the phone that his son died of food poisoning. The autopsy was conducted only after the father approached the Uttarakhand State Commission for Protection of Child Rights.

Moreover, according to a report by Zee News, the role of the police authorities handling the entire incident also became questionable as the police initially were reluctant to take action against the school administrator, Sarkar Stephen.

Usha Negi, the chairperson of the Uttarakhand State Commission for Protection of Child Rights, whose intervention in the case led to the matter coming to light, told media that all possible attempts have been made to divert attention from the incident.

“The incident took place on March 10 and we were informed about it on March 11, following which we visited the school. However, when we got there, we found that the school administration had buried the body.” She told media, adding “they didn’t even bother to inform the parents, who live in Hapur, that their child had died”.

In the case which emerged on Wednesday, the victim was allegedly beaten up by his seniors who suspected him of stealing a packet of biscuit. The boy was beaten up inside a classroom and was there for the next few hours until the warden spotted him. Reports in local media said that not only was the boy beaten up by class XII students, they also tortured him and poured cold water on him and made him also drink the dirty water.

“He was beaten up in phases in the afternoon, while he was taken to hospital in the late evening,” SSP Dehradun Nivedita Kukreti told Times of India.

Meanwhile, two class XII students of the school have been arrested on charges of murder, under IPC section 302 and three school staffs, namely the sports teacher, the warden and hostel manager have been arrested under IPC section 201, causing the disappearance of evidence of offence, or giving false information to screen offender.

In a similar incident last year, a boarding school in Dehradun had tried to cover up a gang rape of a class 10 girl by four other students which ultimately led the school to lose its CBSE license.

Congress hatao, gareebi apne aap hatt jayegi: PM Modi’s frontal attack on Congress in Meerut

In a blistering attack against the Congress party, PM Modi asserted that if Congress is eliminated, the country will automatically become poverty-free. PM Modi was in Meerut to address a public rally for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.


”When I was 8-9 years old, I used to hear about the government measures to eliminate poverty. I heard it in my teenage too. When I was in my twenties, even then the government promised to remove poverty and now after 4 generations of the dynasty being in power, all that they promise is to remove poverty. According to me, if Congress is removed, poverty will be eliminated on its own,” PM Modi said.

Slamming Congress president Rahul Gandhi’s Minimum Income Guarantee scheme, PM Modi said, “The people who could not ensure Indians have bank accounts, can they be trusted to put money in your accounts?” It was PM Modi led BJP government which launched Jan Dhan Yojana under which 32.41 crore Bank accounts were registered for the first time.


In an apparent jibe against Congress’ concocted Hindu Terrorism, PM Modi alleged that the UPA government identified and categorised terrorists based on their castes and religion to determine which terrorist can be punished and which can be saved. He also asserted that when Mahamilavat(UPA) came to power, the country was rocked with multiple bomb blasts in different corners of the country.

Taking a dig at the opposition, Modi said, “Now when Modi took the fight against terrorism into their home (Pakistan) and destroyed their terror camps, the opposition leaders are weeping and asking for proof from our brave soldiers.”

Hitting out at the opposition who asked for proof on the Indian Air Force’s Balakot airstrikes, Modi alleged that these leaders are questioning the valour of our Armed Forces. Modi asserted that there’s a race among the opposition leaders as to who becomes more popular among Pakistanis. He quipped, “Does our country want those who are being lauded in Pakistan or those who laid down their lives to protect it?”

Known for coining witty acronyms to drive home his point, PM Modi came up with an ingenious acronym SaRaB to take on the coalition of Samajwadi Party(Sa), RLD(Ra) and BSP(B). PM Modi asserted that the people of Uttar Pradesh should stay away from  SaRaB(alcohol) for the good health of their state. Modi also contended that Akhilesh Yadav and Mayawati’s coalition has nothing new to offer to the people. “The signboard has changed but the shop remains the same,” PM Modi said.

Four terror camps shut down in Pakistan fearing action by Indian Army

Four terror camps shut down in Pakistan fearing action by Indian Army

Four terror camps in Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir have been shut down fearing action by the Indian Army, according to reports. They were controlled by leaders of Lashkar-e-Taiba and Hizbul Mujahideen. An alert was issued to terror groups amidst the increasing ceasefire violations to shut down the terror camps.

Intelligence agencies have received information about a meeting that was held on the 16th of March which was attended by ISI representatives and Lashkar and Hizbul terrorists. As per reports, four terrorists were ordered to shift their camps from the Line of Control. These include Lashkar terrorist Ashfaq Barwal operating from Kotli, Jaish’s Nadeem from Bagh, Zahoor Qari from Pala and Hizbul’s Wasim Dar from Kotli.

Along with closing the camps, the terrorists also have been asked to don Army fatigues. In the meeting, it was decided to raise the funding of Jaish-e-Mohammed as a “reward” for successfully executing terror activities in Jammu and Kashmir. But Lashkar was criticised by Pakistan government representatives for not being able to do so.

The Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan has said in an interview that his country can no longer allow the terror elements to operate on its soil with impunity. Imran had claimed that his country has come down hard against terrorists using its land. “We are dismantling terror networks on a level that has never happened before. We cannot afford to be held responsible for terror activities like Pulwama. Armed groups within Pakistan cannot be supported any further,” he had said.

However, in light of the recent report, it appears that Imran Khan, as usual, was bluffing when he said Pakistan was dismantling terror networks. It appears that the terror camps were shut down in consent with terrorists fearing action by Indian Army.

The hostilities between the two countries peaked as India conducted airstrikes deep inside Pakistan targetting terror camps in the country in response to the Pulwama attack. Although tensions have deescalated since then, ceasefire violations continue to occur at the border.

Assam: Rift within Congress over ties with Badruddin Ajmal’s AIUDF

Assam: Rift within Congress over ties with Badruddin Ajmal’s AIUDF

The pre-poll understanding between the Congress and the AIUDF has been common knowledge for some time now. Badruddin Ajmal had stated recently that his party will contest elections from only 3 seats in Assam to prevent ‘division of secular votes’ in the elections.

The State Congress, for its part, has maintained that there wasn’t any understanding as such although every indicator pointed towards a different conclusion. Now, reports have emerged of rifts within Assam Congress after a section of the unit opposed attempts to reach an understanding with Ajmal’s party.

A senior party leader is reported to have said that despite a resolution passed by the APCC opposing any alliance, a certain section of leaders had already started negotiations with the AIUDF. Ajmal has reportedly roped in Jamiat-Ulama-i-Hind president Mehmood Madani to persuade the AICC to nominate candidates of Ajmal’s choice. But the proposal was reportedly rejected.

As a consequence of the rift, the announcement of candidates for four constituencies was delayed as the APCC postponed the scheduled meeting of the party election committee. Even former Assam CM Tarun Gogoi, once a fierce critic of Ajmal, has gone silent to ensure his son Gaurav Gogoi’s victory from Kaliabor constituency, which has a considerable Muslim population.

Reports say that state Congress president Ripun Bora and leader of opposition Debabrata Saikia were summoned to Delhi to take part in a meeting to select Congress candidates for Dhubri, Barpeta, Kokrajhar, and Guwahati.

Saikia’s camp has been alleging that despite APCC resolution not to associate with Ajmal, a section has been negotiating with Ajmal and hence a ‘lightweight’ candidate, Abdul Rezzak has been nominated from Dhubri, to help Ajmal retain his MP seat.

Badruddin Ajmal has also been reportedly trying to get the Congress leaders to nominate another lightweight candidate in Barpeta.

Yesterday, addressing a press conference, APCC President Ripun Bora had said, “The Congress party is a secular party and will never make any alliance either open or secret with a communal party like AIUDF.”

It appears that despite opposition from the State Congress, a decision has already been made by the higher-ups to reach a pre-poll understanding with Ajmal ahead of the General Elections.

Bihar: Communists blow up BJP leader Anuj Kumar’s residence in Gaya, demand boycott of elections

Bihar: Communists blow up BJP leader Anuj Kumar’s residence in Gaya, demand boycott of elections

In a shocking incident in Bihar’s Gaya, the BJP leader Anuj Kumar’s residence was blown up by dynamite on Wednesday. Naxals associated with CPI armed with weapons allegedly blew up the local BJP MLC’s house late in the night on Wednesday.


The Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Gaya Rajeev Mishra said, “About 20-30 Naxalites of the Communist Party of India (CPI) blew up the house of BJP leader Anuj Kumar.” Gaya police have taken up the case and launched an investigation into the attack.

According to the local media reports, the Naxals attacked the BJP leader’s house at around 1 am on Wednesday. It is being told that Anuj Kumar Singh was already on the list of targets of the Naxals. The explosion at Singh’s house caused a commotion in the entire area. The blast has left the BJP leader’s house completely demolished and neighbouring villagers horribly scared. However, as per reports, there have been no casualties so far.

After blowing up the house, Naxals left with a poster asking to boycott the upcoming polls. This has been the modus operandi of Naxals for some time now. In Chhattisgarh assembly polls, similar threats of boycotting the elections were handed out to the people by the Naxals. However, the Communist Party of India has eagerly fielded candidates for the coming Lok Sabha elections including one of the members of the Tukde Tukde Gang, Kanhaiya Kumar to fight from the Beguserai seat.

The Communist ideology finds its roots in violence and extremism. Throughout the country, the Communists have been purveying and manifesting their violent ideology. In Kerala, communists blatantly indulge in hacking people holding opposing ideologies to death. In India’s capital, New Delhi, communist goons unleashed violence on ABVP workers during the JNUSU elections.

Congress campaigner in Puducherry makes transphobic slur against Kiran Bedi

In a shocking new low, political orator, Nanjil Sampath, who was campaigning for Congress in Puducherry made egregious comments against the Lieutenant Governor Kiran Bedi.

While campaigning in Puducherry for former Chief Minister and Congress’ Lok Sabha candidate V Vaithilingam on Wednesday, Sampath resorted to derogatory remarks against Kiran Bedi, calling her a ‘BJP Governor’. He also mistakenly refers to Kiran Bedi as Nirav Modi. After being corrected, he went on to pass misogynistic and transphobic slurs against the Puducherry governor.

“There are 21 BJP governors in India. Here one woman, Nirav Modi, (promptly gets corrected by people behind him)…Kiran Bedi. She has been perpetrating atrocities here. Is she a constitutionally chosen authority? Should you be sent here after being castrated in Delhi?” Sampath said. The people standing behind Sampath smile as he continues making disparaging slurs against Kiran Bedi. Sampath also raised allegations of obstructing the Puducherry Chief Minister Narayanasamy’s welfare schemes against Bedi. “Is this how a democracy works?” he questioned.

The former AIADMK politician is currently campaigning for the DMK-Congress alliance for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

The shockingly appalling remarks from Nanjil Sampath come just days after the DMK suspended Radha Ravi for passing sexist comments against actor Nayantara. However, this is not the first time that Sampath finds himself in the eye of the storm. Last time, Sampath was sacked from the AIADMK after he made a scathing attack on Vaiko’s MDMK in an interview and also passed callous comments about the floods in Chennai during December 2015.

The Congress Lok Sabha candidate from Puducherry, V Vaithilingam, however, wasn’t present during the speech. He has worked as the Speaker of Puducherry Legislative Assembly and served as Chief Minister of Puducherry. He was selected by Congress as the candidate for Puducherry parliamentary seat and had filed his nomination for the elections on March 22.

Former Sonia’s man Jean Dreze holds meeting without permission despite Model Code of Conduct, released after being detained

Former Sonia’s man Jean Dreze holds meeting without permission despite Model Code of Conduct, released after being detained

‘Eminent’ Economist and social activist Jean Dreze was released after being detained along with two other Right to Food activists by Jharkhand Police at Garhwa district. The three were arrested for holding a meeting at a public place without permission. The three activists were taken to Vishnupura police station.

According to the Police Jean was holding a meeting without permission and he had not been arrested. Since model of conduct is in place in wake of upcoming Lok Sabha elections, one is expected to take prior permissions from local administration for public meetings.

Jean is reported to have said, “Nothing serious in the matter. If they get a call, they may allow the meeting to proceed.”

Dreze was a member of the National Advisory Council (NAC) during the UPA era. Dreze is presently an honorary professor at the Delhi School of Economics and a visiting professor at the Ranchi University. He previously taught at the London School of Economics.

Meanwhile, ‘Eminent intellectuals’ are outraged that their comrade was detained by the Police for allegedly violating a law.


It betrays the sentiment that most ‘intellectuals’ harbour where they feel they are above the law and believe that routine laws, which apply to every mere mortal, should not apply to them. Further, Prashant Bhushan, whose relationship with the truth is tenuous at best, appears to be unaware that the Police has arrested people who were accused of being involved in the Gurugram incident, which was not borne out of any communal reasons.

Dreze and his friends were released by the Jharkhand Police after furnishing personal bonds.

Karnataka CM warns of adopting ‘Mamata Banerjee’s tactics’ against Income Tax raids in the state

Karnataka CM warns of adopting ‘Mamata Banerjee’s tactics’ against Income Tax raids in the state

The Income Tax officials along with the CRPF raided residences of Karnataka’s Minor Irrigation Minister C S Puttaraju and his nephew in the wee hours of Thursday.

JD(S) leader Puttaraju, who is believed to be a close aide of Janata Dal (Secular) leader HD Revanna, said three teams of Income Tax officials and Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel carried out raids at his Chinnakurli residence in Mandya and his nephew’s house in Mysuru.

The raids were carried out a day after Karnataka CM, Kumaraswamy had raised fear of possible Income Tax raids on Congress-Janata Dal (Secular) functionaries ahead of the Lok Sabha polls.

The CM had claimed that CRPF personnel have been brought in from various parts of the country to assist Income Tax officials in executing the raids which according to him were targeted at opposition leaders. “I have received specific information that 200-300 CRPF personnel have been brought in to conduct raids at 5 am on Thursday,” he said yesterday.

Kumaraswamy, however, cautioned that he would not shy away from pulling off a Mamata if the centre continued to indulge in “politics of vendetta” to weaken opponents ahead of the elections. “I know the game that Income Tax officials are playing in this final stage of the election. They should exercise caution. They will end up repenting if they continue to act as agents of a political party,” he had said. He also warned that he would use “Mamata Banerjee’s tactics” against any Income Tax official conducting raids on Congress-Janata Dal (Secular) functionaries.

Last month, a five-member CBI team that reached the residence of the Kolkata top cop to question him on the Rose Valley and Saradha ponzi scams were briefly detained on the orders of the West Bengal Chief Minister. Mamata later staged a dharna in Kolkata to protest the Narendra Modi government’s alleged vindictiveness towards opposition-ruled states.

Kumaraswamy had also accused that instead of taking the help of the Karnataka Police the CRPF has been used in the raids in order to maintain the mission’s secrecy.

Meanwhile, Karnataka’s Minor Irrigation Minister C S Puttaraju was quoted by a news channel as saying that, “Three teams of I-T officials and CRPF soldiers comprising eight soldiers carried out raids at my Chinnakurli residence in Mandya and my nephew’s residence in Mysuru.”

The minister said he was not afraid of the raids and instead, it had instilled confidence in him. “I’m not deterred by the raids, which are election-related. I would like to know which BJP leader’s house in Karnataka has been raided,” Puttaraju, who is an in-charge minister of Mandya district, said.

Alongside, the IT officials also began search operations at residences belonging to three contractors, Narayana Reddy, Ashwath Narayana and Raya Gowda in Channarayapatna town, said to be close associates of PWD minister HD Revanna, on Thursday morning.

They also conducted similar search operations in the office and residence of PWD executive engineer, CS Manju in Hassan. It is believed that these contractors got many road works from PWD in the coalition government. The local police, however, were not aware of any such operations.

Sources in the Karnataka Congress said raids have been carried out at least 10 to 15 places in the city and elsewhere, without giving details. They alleged that the Income Tax department, the Enforcement Directorate and the CBI now seemed to have the sole aim of propelling the BJP to victory. “This is the first time in the history of India that a Prime Minister has misused autonomous institutions with such flagrant disregard. The people will teach him a lesson,” they said.

SP leader makes sexist remark against BJP leader Jaya Prada, says people in Rampur will be ‘entertained’ by her presence

SP leader makes sexist remark against BJP leader Jaya Prada, says people in Rampur will be ‘entertained’ by her presence

Samajwadi Party’s Sambhal District President, Firoz Khan has exhibited his mental sickness by passing an extremely outrageous remark against the BJP’s newly inducted member, veteran actor-turned-politician, Jaya Prada.

Firoz Khan, a close aide of SPs controversial leader Azam Khan, in a highly disgraceful remark said that people of Rampur, the constituency Jaya Prada would be representing against Azam Khan, will make full use of this one time opportunity granted to them.

In a lewd and sexist remark, Khan said that Jaya Prada would henceforth adorn the evenings of the people of Rampur. He said that residents of the district would stay entertained and their evenings will now be colourful as Jaya Prada would be visiting Rampur frequently to campaign for the Lok Sabha elections.


Continuing to deliver filth, Firoz Khan said that the people of Sambhal, an adjoining district, would also now like to spend their maximum time in Rampur since Jaya Prada would be present there.

Firoz Khan further added that people of Rampur are prudent enough to vote for the Samajwadi party but they are also smart enough to make full use of this God-sent opportunity.

His audacious words were nothing but a cheap display of his trivial thinking and his party’s ideologies. He further insulted Jaya Prada by saying that the people of Rampur would indulge in cheap thrills when Jaya Prada visits her constituency and sing songs like “mere pairon mein ghungroo bandhado aur Phir meri chaal dekhlo” referring to a Hindi song from the movie Sunghursh (1968).

Meanwhile, SP leader Azam Khan, who is representing the party from Rampur constituency has also shared a bitter relationship with Jaya Prada in the past. In fact, earlier Jaya Prada had revealed that Azam Khan had attempted an acid attack on her. She had also stated that due to Khan, she had once perceived a threat to her life and was under severe trauma.

Recently, Jaya Prada in a veiled attack said that Allauddin Khilji’s character reminded her of Azam Khan while the latter had taunted her with a similar sexist remark calling her a nachneganne wali (dancer-singer).

The war of words between the two candidates is expected to only intensify in the days to come as Jaya Prada and Azam Khan, continuing with their 10-year-old feud, are ready to battle it out at Rampur again.

Ironically, it was Azam Khan who initially brought Jaya Prada into Samajwadi Party fold and helped her win in Rampur parliamentary constituency on the party ticket. Jaya Prada had won the Lok Sabha election from Rampur in 2004 and 2009.

However, the relations turned sour as Jaya Prada sided with former Samajwadi Party general secretary Amar Singh. Things worsened to such an extent that Azam Khan supporters openly campaigned against her during 2009 Lok Sabha elections.

Azam Khan will be contesting Lok Sabha elections for the first time while Jaya Prada has won the Rampur seat twice before this.
