Off-duty Hijab-clad Muslim officer harassed while with son in Brooklyn

December 5, 2016

An off-duty hijab-clad Muslim police officer was called “ISIS” and told to go back to her “country” by a white man who also pushed her 16-year-old son, the latest in a series of incidents in which headscarf-wearing women have been targeted in the US following Donald Trump’s win.

Officer Aml Elsokary, who was off duty and wearing her hijab, dropped off her son in Brooklyn. After parking her car, she returned to the scene to find her son being shoved by the suspect, a white man in his 30s. When the officer — a native New Yorker — approached, the man said, “ISIS (expletive), I will cut your throat, go back to your country!”

Elsokary did not identify herself as a police officer, and was unarmed, the New York Daily News reported, citing police sources. The suspect then fled the scene. Police were trying to track him down. The NYPD Hate Crimes Unit is probing the episode as a bias incident which took place on Saturday.

Officer Elsokary — who proudly wears her hijab on duty – was touted as a hero by the New York city mayor after she ran into a burning building to save an elderly man and baby girl in April 2014. Responding to a call about a fire over the police radio, Elsokary and her partner had rushed to a smoke-filled building.

The decorated officer had joined the force shortly after the September 11 terror attacks to “show people that the terrible acts of that day contradicted the teachings of Islam,” Mayor Bill de Blasio had said at a 2014 dinner. The mother-of-five had received a medal for her bravery.

Saturday’s incident comes amid a slew of intimidation and assault cases that have been reported across the country against hijab-clad women following Trump’s win. On Thursday, a Muslim student was allegedly assaulted aboard a subway train by three drunk white men who repeatedly screamed “Donald Trump!” and hurled anti-Islam slurs before trying to rip her hijab off.

Earlier in December, a Hijab-clad Muslim student was allegedly struck in the face with a glass bottle in broad daylight at the University of Washington campus in Seattle. In another incident, a hijab-clad woman was allegedly accosted at a US store by another customer who called her a “terrorist” and told her to “get out” of the country. Also, a Muslim student’s hijab was allegedly ripped off and her hair pulled down by a classmate at a school in Minnesota.

कृष्ण की मूर्ति से रचाया अंधी लड़की का ब्याह, बताया कलियुग की मीरा

December 5, 2016

नई दिल्ली। हैदराबाद की आराधना याद हैं ना कि भूल गए। जी हाँ वही 13 साल की आराधना जिसने अपने परिवार की सुख शान्ति के लिए 68 दिन का व्रत रखा और अंतत उसकी मौत हो गई। बात को आगे बढ़ाने से पहले आरधना के बारे में कुछ तथ्य बताते चलें, हैदराबाद में एक 13 साल की लड़की की 68 दिन का उपवास रखने के बाद मृत्यु हो गई थी। यह लड़की जैन धर्म के पवित्र दिनों 'चौमासा' के दौरान व्रत पर थी और पिछले हफ्ते 68 दिन उपवास के बाद उसकी मौत हो गई।

आठवीं में पढ़ने वाली आराधना हैदराबाद के स्कूल में पढ़ती थी। परिवार का दावा था कि 68 दिन के उपवास खोलने के दो दिन बाद उसे अस्पताल में भर्ती कर दिया गया जहां दिल का दौरा पड़ने से उसकी मौत हुई।

आराधना के अंतिम संस्कार में कम से कम 600 लोग उपस्थित थे जो उसे 'बाल तपस्वी' के नाम से संबोधित कर रहे थे। यही नहीं आराधना की शव यात्रा को 'शोभा यात्रा' का नाम दिया गया था। इस परिवार को जानने वालों का कहना था कि लड़की ने इससे पहले 41 दिन के उपवास भी सफलतापूर्वक रखे थे।

हम लगातार नए दौर की तरफ बढ़ रहे हैं, जहाँ शिक्षा , रोजगार और इंटरनेट के माध्यम, से पूरी दुनिया से जुड़ रहे हैं। लेकिन क्या इन सभी जुड़ावों के बाद भी हम अंधविश्वास को छोड़ पाए हैं? शायद नहीं!! ताज़ा मामला टीकमगढ़ के दिगौड़ा जिले का है जहाँ एक नेत्रहीन लड़की शालिनी ने कृष्ण की मूर्ति के साथ विवाह किया।

ताज्जुब की बात यह है कि सोशल मीडिया से लेकर उसके परिवार तक इसे भक्ति से सराबोर कदम बता रहे हैं और शालिनी की तारीफ कर रहे हैं। यही नहीं उसके विवाह उत्सव में भारी संख्या में लोग पहुंचे।

मेरे तो गिरधर गोपाल दूसरा न कोई की तर्ज पर शालिनी ने पूरे धूमधाम से हिंदू रीति से कृष्ण की मूर्ति के साथ विवाह किया। शालिनी कहती हैं कि मेरे तो सब कुछ कृष्ण है और मैनें उन्ही से प्यार किया है । ऐसे वर को क्या वरू, जो जन्मे और मर जाय ! – वर वरिये गोपाल को जो नाम अमर कर जाये।

सोशल मीडिया कि यह पोस्ट किसी भी तार्कि इंसान को असहज कर सकती है। तब जब हम देश में डिजीटल विकास और मंगलयान की बात कर रहे हो ! अगर मीरा की बात की जाए तो मीरा ने कृष्ण का वरण अपने आपको आपने सामंती परिवार से बचने के लिए किया था। मीरा जन्म से देखने में समर्थ थी, मीरा ने कृष्ण से ब्याह भी नहीं किया था!

क्या यह तर्कसंगत नहीं कि अगर शालिनी का विवाह किसी सक्षम व्यक्ति से किया गया होता या इस तरफ सोचा गया होता तब भी क्या वह एक पत्थर की मूर्ति से विवाह को राजी हो जाती। इस विवाह के बाद सबसे बड़ा सवाल अभी भी अनुत्तरित है कि क्या शालिनी को सामाजिक सुरक्षा मिलेगी? शालिनी दिव्यांग है इसलिए यह प्रश्न समसामयिक है।

देवदासी प्रथा के बारे में हम सभी जानते हैं कि किस तरह से उनका विवाह देव से करवाने के बहाने उन्हें मंदिरों में पंडितों की ताड़ना का शिकार होना पड़ता है। यही नहीं भगवान् को भेंट की गई ये देवदासियां वेश्यावृति के नरक में असमय ही ढकेल दी जाती हैं।

इस तरह की परमपराएं न सिर्फ नारी की अस्मिता पर कुठाराघात है वर्ण सामजिक परिदृश्य की गन्दगी को भी सामने लाती है। इस तरह के प्रावधानों पर सरकार को चेतना चाहिए और कड़े कदम उठाने चाहिए।

Is Amit Shah the Big Fish behind Mahesh Shah’s Record Disclosures, asks former CM Sureshbhai Mehta

December 5, 2016

Former BJP chief minister Sureshbhai Mehta told Sabrangindia that Mahesh Shah, the man who made mysteriously high disclosures of Rs 13,800 crore in cash under the IDS , was a man with free access to the CMO in the past; Delhi CM, Arvind Kejriwal has further demanded that Amit Shah respond to the allegations

The story of a little-known businessman who had declared a record Rs 13,860 crore under the Centre's income disclosure scheme that re-surfaced in a television studio on Saturday (December 3) evening and claimed he had been fronting for politicians and industrialists gets murkier and even more interesting.

Former chief minister of Gujarat, Sureshbhai Mehta has today stated that the businessman had free access to the CMO when Narendra Modi was chief minister of the state and Hardik Patel has also alleged that ‘the main main face behind Mahesh Shah, the man who disclosed the record amount under the government's Income Disclosure Scheme, is `General Dyer', referring to the BJP President.

In a scene reminiscent of Hollywood or Bollywood, minutes after his stunning declaration, he was whisked away from the studio by tax officials and police and taken to a police station. Hours before Mahesh had surfaced, Suresh Mehta, a former Gujarat chief minister who has left the BJP, alleged the businessman was close to Narendra Modi and Amit Shah. Speaking to Sabrangindia, former Gujarat chief minister confirmed that Mahesh Shah had close access to the chief minister’s office when Narendra Modi was chief minister around 2006-2007. Mehta, also alleged that Mahesh used to arrange the auction of the gifts Modi received when he was Gujarat chief minister. The money went into government welfare schemes. When one particular auction flopped, Mehta claimed, Mahesh himself bought all the items and then was reimbursed by the Ahmedabad District Cooperative Bank. Amit Shah was the bank's chairman till 2003 and continues to be one of the directors, Mehta said.

Immediately, following these sensational disclosures, Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal demanded a probe against BJP President Amit Shah following allegations that he may have used a Gujarat property dealer as a front to disclose unaccounted Rs 13,860 crore under a tax amnesty scheme.“Amit shah should respond to Hardik Patel's allegations. Very serious! It should be investigated,“ the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader tweeted.

Mahesh Shah, the Ahmedabad-based businessman who had earlier been reported missing, said: "The money I declared belongs to politicians, bureaucrats and businessmen whose names I will reveal to income-tax officials." Mahesh, 67, said he had declared the income as his own for a commission. "I admit my mistake, which I should not have done," he added.

Mahesh Shah had first disappeared just before income-tax authorities searched his premises and those of his chartered accountant last month. He told the TV channel today that he had fled to Mumbai because he realised he would not be able to pay the first instalment of his taxes (following the black money disclosure) as some of the politicians had backed out."The income-tax department too suspected that I was involved in money-laundering," he said. "I was scared. But now I have decided to reveal all."

Mahesh, accompanied by his chartered accountant Tehmul Sethna, had told income tax authorities on September 30 – the last day of the disclosure scheme – that he had Rs 13,860 crore in cash lying at several places in Gujarat and elsewhere. He was supposed to pay a 45 per cent tax – that is, Rs 6,237 crore – of which he had to pay the first instalment of Rs 1,560 crore by November 30.But, sources said, the income-tax department suspected that Mahesh did not have the cash and that his declaration may have been a ploy to launder money after the demonetisation on some people's behalf – a theory that presupposes he and his alleged clients knew about the move beforehand.

The department cancelled his "Form No. 2" through which he was to make the payment and searched his premises as well as those of a relative and Sethna. Chartered accountant Sethna has told sections of the media that he had had no reason to doubt his client's claim about the black money in his possession. "He (Mahesh) is sharp and intelligent; he is well-connected and knows influential people. He used to do high-value deals in Gujarat and Maharashtra," Sethna said, without elaborating. Sethna said he had known Mahesh since 2013. The chartered accountant claims his clients include ministers and bureaucrats whom he helps invest their money.

The state BJP has, however, predictably, dismissed Mehta's claim. "The party has nothing to do with him (Mahesh Shah). No one in the party knows him," BJP spokesperson Bharat Pandya told the media. Ajay Patel, the cooperative bank's current chairman, told this newspaper he did not remember having paid anyone for any auctioned-off gifts that Modi had earlier received as chief minister.

BJP spokesperson Pandya said that neither Mahesh nor any other private individual had ever been involved in these auctions, which were always organised and conducted by district collectors.A senior BJP politician said Mahesh was "a nonentity" who showed an annual income of Rs 2-3 lakh in his tax returns, and that he was not known well enough in the real estate business to which he is supposed to belong."Clearly, he was a front for some people who were using him to convert their black money into white," the politician said.

He said Mahesh was not a BJP functionary but had been doing "efficient liaison work" between the state government and "an advertising firm and some other people" for many years."That was his unique selling point," he said, adding that he had often seen the unassuming businessman in the corridors of power in Gandhinagar. But Pandya, the BJP spokesperson, denied that Mahesh had done any liaising for the state government.

उत्तर प्रदेश बीजेपी ने खोज निकाली अमित शाह की जाति

December 5, 2016

आगरा। यूपी में चुनाव आते ही दिग्गज नेताओं की जातियां निकलने लगी हैं। पिछले दिनों कांग्रेस के राष्ट्रीय उपाध्यक्ष राहुल गांधी की जाति को बताते हुए पोस्टर मथुरा में लगाए गए थे। कांग्रेस के पोस्टर्स में लिखा था 'पंडित राहुल गांधी'। अब एटा में अमित शाह की जाति बताते हुए पोस्टर लगे हैं। परिवर्तन यात्रा रैली का स्वागत करते हुए बीजेपी के इन पोस्टर्स में लिखा है मा. अमित शाह (जैन)।

दरअसल भाजपा अध्यक्ष अमित शाह 16 दिसंबर को एटा का दौरा कर सकते हैं। इसकी तैयारी के लिए स्थानीय भाजपा नेताओं द्वारा पोस्टर लगवाए गए हैं। नगर पालिका के पास लगे पोस्टर्स में जैन समुदाय को लुभाने के प्रयास नजर आ रहे हैं। माना जा रहा है कि बीजेपी इसके जरिए कास्ट पॉलिटिक्स को बढ़ावा देने का काम कर रही है।

TOI से बातचीत करते हुए बीजेपी की परिवर्तन यात्रा के कोर्डिनेटर पंकज जैन ने कहा कि हमारी पार्टी जातीय पॉलिटिक्स को बढ़ावा नहीं देती। यह जैन समुदाय को लुभाने के लिए नहीं था। एटा जिले के जैन समुदाय ने हमेशा से भाजपा का समर्थन किया है।

एटा यूनिट के बीजेपी प्रेसिडेंट दिनेश वशिष्ठ ने भी कहा कि हमारी पार्टी जाति आधारित पॉलिटिक्स के बजाय विकास की राजनीति में विश्वास करती है। अमित शाह के नाम के पीछे जैन लिखना बिल्कुल भी जाति आधारित पॉलिटिक्स को बढ़ावा देना नहीं है। हालांकि तमाम सफाई के बावजूद भी जाति आधारित राजनीति करने के दावों का ये पोस्टर पोल खोल रहे हैं।

Shameful 12-hour ragging ordeal at BAU

December 5, 2016

Fresher beaten up, tonsured; vice chancellor rusticates PG trio

Victim Gautam Kumar (right) reports the incident to police in Ranchi on Sunday. Telegraph picture

The Telegraph reports that a first-year student of Birsa Agricultural University (BAU), Kanke, was allegedly ragged for 12 hours from last night at a hostel room, prompting the expulsion of three postgraduate students late last night. The student, Gautam Kumar (20), who was treated extremely humiliatingly had joined the BAU at Kanke, Jharkand recently only on November 21. He had enrolled for the First-year BSc Forestry course. He was allegedly thrashed and had his head tonsured by first-year MSc forestry students in acts of humiliation that started at 9pm on Saturday night and lasted till 9am on Sunday, December 4.

Gautam, the victim of this brute behaviour by fellow students, who has been sent home to Ranchi's Ratu Road and asked to report to BAU three days later, stressed it was only ragging. "Around 9pm yesterday, I was summoned by drunk seniors to a room at Saranda Hostel of BAU. I was severely beaten up through the night and my hair was cut off this morning. My back hurts," Gautam

Acting swiftly, BAU vice chancellor and agriculture secretary Nitin Madan Kulkarni tonight rusticated three students – Firoz Ahmad, Prashant Kumar and Prabhat Kumar Singh – whom Gautam had identified earlier as his tormentors."It is a serious incident and can't be tolerated. The trio stand rusticated," Kulkarni said.A dean claimed this was the first such incident in the institute that was inaugurated in 1981 by then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.

Gautam, who was forced this morning to confess in writing he abused his seniors which resulted in the beating, did not cower but complained to BAU authorities and Kanke police. A four-member BAU inquiry committee headed by forestry department dean Mahadeo Mahto, recommended immediate rustication of three students, inmates of Saranda Hostel, whom Gautam had managed to identify.

"The committee comprising myself, dean of students' welfare N.K. Roy, dean of agriculture Raghav Thakur and forestry department head M.H. Siddiqui concurred that prima facie, ragging had taken place," Mahto said."We submitted our recommendation to BAU vice chancellor and agriculture secretary Nitin Madan Kulkarni," Mahto added.

Probe is on to zero in on two others, who Gautam said were involved in the act but could not be identified."It seems five students were involved, but since the victim could identify three, action was initiated only against them. Once the other two are identified, similar action will be taken against them too," Mahto stressed.

In another twist to the gory incident, Kanke sub-inspector Meera Singh, who acted on Gautam's FIR and came to the campus this afternoon for a probe, found another story waiting for her.

"At least seven first-year students confessed to me that they beat up their classmate Gautam. They alleged Gautam was in the habit of stealing money and that they had beaten him up after many found their cash missing. The victim, however, alleges that he was ragged and beaten up by his seniors. This calls for a complete investigation," sub-inspector Singh said.

From Brilliant Student to Star of Silver Screen & Iron-Fisted Politics: Jayalalithaa

December 5, 2016

UPDATE:
Later the evening that the earlier story was written, Jayalalithaa's death was confirmed. It is the end of an era for politics in Tamil Nadu.
Jayalalithaa’s failing health condition has sent shock waves in Tamil Nadu. But Amma’s followers are not giving up on the prayers for their determined leader with an iron fist to make a quick recovery. Bringing glamour to the dreary world of politics, Amma as she is known, has ruled with an iron fist and often displayed signs of authoritarianism

She grew up being multi-lingual, being fluent in languages, as a student. Hindi, English, Kannada, Tamil and Telugu, Jayalalitha and mastered the gift of fluent communication even winning the Gold State Award for topping the Std 10 examination in all of Tamil Nadu. From there, it was a carrier in acting that began with a part in an English play “Epistle” in 1961; and then armed with fair skin and looks –the requirements of the silver screen—she went on to act in over 140 films of which 60 were in Tamil.

J Jayalalithaa’s debut was in the Tamil film with Vennira Aadai in 1965. This was the first film to be rated ‘Adults Only’ since Marma Yogi got an A certificate in 1951. The irony was Jayalalitha could not watch her film being an underage. The Film Certification body was not too happy as she was the first Tamil actress to wear sleeveless blouses and even allowed herself to get suggestively drenched under a waterfall! What followed were a stream of successes movies starting with Venniradai in 1965, followed by Ayirathil Oruvan, Kudi Iruntha Kovil, Gallata Kalyanam, Adimai Penn, Oli Villaku and Deiva Magan. Jayalalithaa was one of the most prominent faces of the South film industry and bankable stars of the 1960s.

Jaya the Authoritarian Ruler

Among the more memorable lines that flowed from J. Jayalalithaa was this gem about the media in India: "The people of this country are illiterate. They don't read newspapers and don't care what the papers write."

Thirteen years ago in mid-November 2003, ensconced within the high security walls of her Poes Garden residence, the chief minister of Tamil Nadu must have quietly eaten her words. Using her brute majority, she got the Tamil Nadu Assembly to pass a resolution sentencing five senior editors of The Hindu and the editor of DMK newspaper Murasoli to 15 days in jail.

Their crime: The Hindu in April this year had published an editorial titled "Rising Intolerance" which had attacked Jayalalitha's authoritarian ways. The editor of the DMK mouthpiece was sentenced for merely reproducing a translation of The Hindu editorial in the Tamil newspaper. Following her deplorable words, on the evening of November 7, half an hour after the state Assembly passed the resolution, a police team stormed The Hindu office on Chennai's arterial Mount Road to arrest its Editor N. Ravi, Executive Editor Malini Parthasarathy, Bureau Chief V. Jayant, Special Correspondent Radha Venkatesan and Publisher S. Rangarajan. " It is not the privilege of the Assembly to protect the chief minister's reputation," he said. The Hindu, which moved the Supreme Court a day after the police came calling at its offices, obtained a stay on the arrests on November 10.

After appearing to be defiant initially – she filed fresh defamation cases against The Hindu even as the apex court granted the stay – Jayalalithaa softened up, saying her Government would fully comply with the court order. Evidently, she can scarcely afford to antagonise the court which is soon to decide on the TANSI land scam in which she is the main accused.

Jayalalithaa's dislike for the press has been part of parcel of her rule, a trait she shares with prime minister Narendra Modi. Soon after she came to power in May 2001, a TV reporter was arrested and 150 journalists protesting the arrest were kept in police custody for a day. The Hindu has faced 16 defamation cases, all filed since the AIADMK came to power. And so long as the privilege rights of the legislatures are not codified brute state power as displayed by Jayalalithaa can prove to be mightier than the pen.

Her misuse of power and position has also been consistently directed towards her critics. In August this year, the Supreme Court told Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa that as a public leader, she must learn to face criticism. The sharp rebuke came while the court was hearing a petition filed by DMDK chief Vijayakanth seeking dismissal of a defamation case filed against him by the state government. “No other state misuses the state machinery like the Tamil Nadu government. Defamation cases can’t be slapped for merely reporting on CM’s health condition,” the court was quoted saying.

In July 2016, the court had observed that defamation cases cannot be used as a political counter-weapon against critics of the government. It had further stayed the non-bailable warrants that were issued against Vijayakanth and his wife Premlata. The case against the couple was lodged by the Public Prosecutor of Tirupur district on the allegation that they made false remarks against the Chief Minister and criticised the working of the state government. Reportedly, 14 cases of defamation have been slapped against Vijayakanth.

Following close suit to the dangerous trends evident in the fashion in which the law enforcement agencies –police, federal agencies—have been misusing sedition laws after the Modi regime swept to power in May 2014 –the Tamil Nadu state police, under Jayalalitha, slapped sedition charges against six social activists and human rights defenders of ‘Makkal Adhikaram’ (People’s Rights), a social organisation in Tamil Nadu, for simply organising a meeting/conference to demand closure of State-run liquor outlets in Tamil Nadu. The activists were allegedly charged under sedition for making inflammatory speeches at the event held on February 14, 2016 at the Uzhavar Sandhai Ground in Tiruchirappalli over the issue of Tasmacliquor shops across the state of Tamilnadu. An appeal on the case has been issued by Human Right Defenders Alert-India (HRDA).

MGR the Mentor

It was the legendary film star turned astute politician, M. G. Ramachandran (simply MGR) who was J Jayalalithaa’s inspiration and thereafter her godfather. MGR founded Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (ADMK) and went on to become the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu in 1977. MGR was the first film actor to become the CM of an Indian state. Jayalalithaa followed the footsteps of her guru to become successful actor turned politician.

J Jayalalithaa acted with MGR on several film projects. They gave a smash hit movie Ayirathil Oruvan in 1965. This pair delivered huge critically and commercially successful hits in the 60s like Thaikku Thalaimagan (1967), Kannan En Kadhalan(1968), Oli Vilakku (1968), Rahasya Police 115 (1968) and Mattukkara Velan (1969).

Jayalalithaa's Disproportionate Assets Case

Incumbent Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Jayaram Jayalalitha, was finally acquitted in the infamous 18-year-old disproportionate assets (amounting to Rs. 66.65 crore) and corruption case by the Karnataka High Court on 11 May 2015. A trial court had convicted and sentenced her to four years of jail as well as a fine of Rs. 100 crore on 27 September 2014. Jayalalitha filed an appeal challenging the decision in the Karnataka High Court. These charges were held “not sustainable” by the special bench of the Karnataka High Court. Earlier, the five-time Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu was held guilty by a special court in Bangalore in a disproportionate assets case and had to vacate her post as a consequence. The charges were levelled by Dr. Subramanian Swamy in 1996. She was convicted under IPC 109 and 120 (b) along with 13 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988.

Earlier, in 2001, the Supreme Court today dealt a severe blow to the political career of the AIADMK chief, Ms. Jayalalithaa, by quashing her appointment as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu by the then Governor, Ms. Fathima Beevi, on May 14.A five-judge Constitution Bench, in a unanimous verdict of 5-0, held “a person who is convicted for a criminal offence and sentenced to imprisonment for a period of not less than two years cannot be appointed the Chief Minister of a State under Article 164 (1) read with (4) and cannot continue to function as such.'' In effect, the court rejected the argument that a popular mandate – or the `will' of the people – could override the Constitution. The Bench observed that it was not impressed by the submission that the court should not issue a quo warranto as the six-month period, allowed by Article 164 (4), would expire in about two months and it was possible for Ms. Jayalalithaa to succeed in the criminal appeals (in the TANSI cases) filed by her in the Madras High Court. “We take the view that the appointment of a person to the office of Chief Minister who is not qualified to hold it should be struck down at the earliest.'' The Bench did not accept the contention that once a sentence was stayed by the High Court and an appeal was pending, the conviction would not operate and Ms. Jayalalithaa suffered no disqualification, and said “conviction and sentence it carries operate against the accused in all their rigour until set aside in appeal, and a disqualification that attaches to the conviction and sentence applies as well.''

Fifteen years later, the AIDMK supremo, obtained interim bail, extended over two periods, also in a corruption case where a lower court had convicted her in December 2014.

हिंदू विरोधी काम कर रहे हैं मोदी, देशभक्त थे नाथूराम गोडसे: हिंदू महासभा

December 5, 2016

अलीगढ़। नोटबंदी के सरकार के फैसले ने प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद मोदी को मुश्किल में डाल दिया है। नोटबंदी पर सरकार के फैसले को लेकर हिंदू महासभा ने प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी को निशाने पर लिया है। हिंदू महासभा ने प्रधानमंत्री पर आरोप लगाते हुए कहा कि नोटबंदी ऐसे समय में की गई जब हिन्दुओं की शादी का माह शुरू हो रहा था।

गौरतलब है कि 10 नवम्बर से हिन्दुओं की शादी शुरू हो रही थी और मोदी सरकार ने 8 नवम्बर को नोटबंदी का ऐलान कर दिया। जिसके चलते हिंदू परेशान हैं। हिंदू महासभा ने कहा कि यह हिन्दुओं को परेशान करने के लिए लिया गया फैसला है। महासभा ने नाथूराम गोडसे को देशभक्त बताते हुए चेतावनी दी कि फिर से गोडसे को जन्म दे देंगे।

रविवार को अलीगढ़ में अखिल भारतीय हिंदू महासभा की राष्ट्रीय सचिव डॉ. पूजा शकुन पांडे ने नोटबंदी पर लोगों की परेशानियों पर प्रदर्शन करते हुए मोदी सरकार का जमकर विरोध किया। पूजा शकुन पांडे ने नाथूराम गोडसे को देशभक्त बताया और मोदी को चेतावनी भी दे डाली।

पूजा ने कहा हिंदू महासभा के कार्यकर्ताओं में नाथूराम गोडसे, मदन मोहन मालवीय, वीर सावरकर जैसे नाम शामिल थे। जो लोग मोदी-मोदी कह रहे हैं, उनको आगाह करना चाहती हूं कि इस संगठन को सत्ता का लालच कभी नहीं रहा, ये संगठन सच्चे देशभक्तों का है। ध्यान रखिएगा, अगर फिर से गांधी बनने की कोशिश की तो हम कुछ कर पाएं या न कर पाएं, लेकिन गोडसे को फिर से जन्म दे देंगे।

पूजा शकुन पांडे ने ये भी कहा कि ये सरकार हिंदुत्व विरोधी है। मोदी सरकार ने हिंदू शादियों से पहले ही नोटबंदी कर दी। विमुद्रीकरण नहीं वि-मोदी-करण लेकर आओ और देश बचाओ। आपने विमुद्रीकरण नहीं किया आपने करेंसी को रिप्लेस किया है।

Allahabad HC to give verdict on plea against PM Modi’s election on Monday

December 5, 2016

The Allahabad High Court is likely to pronounce its judgement on Momday on a petition challenging the election of Prime Minister Narendra Modi from Varanasi Lok Sabha seat.

The petition has been filed by sitting Congress MLA Ajay Rai, who was the party’s candidate against Modi from Varanasi in the 2014 general elections and was defeated.

Rai has challenged the election of Modi alleging that there were discrepancies in his nomination papers, that the expenses on campaign had exceeded permissible limits, voters were “bribed” through distribution of freebies and that religious sentiments were exploited through slogans like “Har Har Modi” whereby people were appealed to vote in favour of the BJP candidate in the name of Hindu pride.The Congress candidate, who had finished third and forfeited his deposit in the one-sided electoral battle wherein Modi defeated his nearest rival Arvind Kejriwal of the Aam Aadmi Party by a margin of 3. 71 lakh votes, had moved the court in June, 2014 – less than a month after results for the elections were announced.

Modi’s team of counsels, led by senior BJP leader and Additional Solicitor General of India Satyapal Jain, has questioned the maintainability of the petition and prayed that it be “dismissed in limine, without being put in trial and with exemplary costs”.

After hearing arguments on both sides, single judge bench of Justice Vikram Nath had on November 24 posted the matter for December 05 “for dictation of orders”.
