UPA Budget: Yes for Muslim University, No for new KV!

Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal said that his ministry did not have enough funds to open any new Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) in the current financial year. This coming from a government who has just enhanced 74% increase in Plan Outlay for Ministry of Minority Affairs (Rs. 1,000 crore in BE 2008-09 to Rs.1,740 crore in 2009-10) and also announced  a sum of Rs 50 crore fort wo Aligarh Muslim University campuses to establish at Murshidabad in West Bengal and Malappuram in Kerala.

It seems that UPA govt has taken the policy of starving one child(read majority community) to feed other child(read minorities)

Now Indian Railway says Godhra Train fire caused by Carelessness.

It seems the Indian Railway has no doubt that the Godhra train burning was caused by carelessness of passengers inside. An Indian Railway advertisement which appeared in dailies on Wednesday uses a photograph of the Godhra train burning to caution passengers against fire accidents caused by carelessness.

It remains a mystery why the Railways chose the picture of the burning of a coach of the Sabarmati Express at the Godhra railway station on February 27, 2002, along with its advertisement which sends the message ‘your carelessness may lead to fire accidents’.

The ad warns about travelling with inflammable substances, lighting up stoves inside compartments and smoking inside the train and station premises.

The subtle message driven home by the ad is the finding of the U C Banerjee Commission appointed by the Union Railway Ministry to probe into the Godhra accident.

Now a Muslim University to teach Muslims

Union Budget has allocated 25 crore each for the AMU to set up campuses at Murshidabad in West Bengal and Malappuram in Kerala. Outside Kashmir, Murshidabad in West Bengal & Malapurram in Kerala are the only two Muslim majority districts in India. The significance of establishing a Aligarh “Muslim” University in “Muslim” majority districts is not lost to anyone!

One fails to understand the logic behind establishing a AMU campus in these districts. If iot was done for furthering the cause of education &  in these Muslim majority districts then AMU is hardly the best choice! Is it being assumed that a “Muslim” university will be best placed to spread higher education in the area. AMU is not known for its pursuit of all-round excellence. Except for its contribution to Mughal history, made about three decades ago, very little emanating from AMU merits the adjective, ‘excellent’. The university once supported Partition and has been known for harboring communal ideas.

This comes immediately after Mamata announcing free monthly season tickets for  students attending Madrassa, High Madrassa and senior Madrasa. At this pace, day is not far when this “secular” government would announce reservation for Madrassa students, they are anyway now considered par with CBSE students!

Under the present circumstance, one cannot be faulted for believing this move to be one of several steps to appease Muslims. The reasons behind the idea are communal and therefore dangerous for the nation!

No one wants to talk about Justice Mohapatra Commission

“Secular Media” has gone overboard with Liberhan commission and some even claimed it to be Kick out punch by congress. However, on otherside, they completely ignored Justice Mohapatra Commission. Perhaps because the findings of Justice Mohapatra Commission didnot meet the “secular desires”

Justice Mohapatra Commission was constituted to probe last year’s communal riots in Orissa’s Kandhamal district. Yesterday, a 28-page interim report was submitted about nine months after the probe panel was constituted.

The commission has attributed the prolonged violence to “cumulative anger” of locals, mostly tribals, against the negligence they have suffered for years. The report also blamed land disputes and conflict between tribals and Scheduled Caste ‘panas’ for the violence

To the utter disappointment of secular brigade, And Sangh Parivar's name was not even mentioned for any role in the attacks.

Senior Congress leader Kagodu Timmappa: Cut the hands of those who say Hindutva

Literal translation of speech

Background: BJP candidate of uttara kannada(Canara/Karwar) had said that "He doesnt want even a single vote from Muslims, He would ask for vote only from Hindus,Jains,CHristians and Buddhists". 

The exact translation of the speech:

"why should only the carpenter do the wood work, Why should only Dhoby wash the clothes"
(comment: I dont understand How Hindutva /Hinduism is preventing others doing this work)

Eee Hindutva antha haluvera kayi(hand) munche kadi (chop) bheku
Whosoever speaks of Hindutva, first their hands should be chopped off.

" Ananthkumar hegde has said that he doesnt want minority vote and wants oinly majority vote, Who is Majority, When did these(Majority) people come here?"
(comment: He might be thinking that Muslims were original inhabitants of India, I really dont get what he meant)

"You people (Brahmins) are the one who does the pooja and we are here only to take prasad, Aren't you ashamed of it"
(comment: Current law permits one to worship even inside the temple if he has scholared the veda and follows the rules defined for it..In fcat in many temples of Karnataka even Non-brahmins perform Poooja..)

Where is the Anti-POTA brigade?

The Mayawati government in an unprecedented act invoked the provisions of the National Security Act against Varun Gandhi for inciting communal tension through his alleged speeches . Another charge leveled against Varun Gandhi was that he incited his supporters to resort to violence outside the CJM court. The maximum period of detention under the NSA is one year with no provision for bail.

But court granted bail to Varun Gandhi in both the cases that were lodged against him in connection with his alleged inflammatory speeches. However, he continues to remain in jail as the Uttar Pradesh Government has invoked the National Security Act (NSA) against him.

The silence of the self righteous secular and human brigade is deafening! Afterall, these were the same group who opposed POTA on the grounds that it violated human rights! They had the audacity to speak about human right for terrorists but they have given silent approval for NSA on Varun Gandhi!

Secular Hypocrisy

Communist Party of India (Marxist)  stand on POTA

The Vajpayee government enacted the Prevention of Terrorism Act (Pota), a draconian piece of legislation in the name of fighting terrorism. The Pota, like its precursor Tada, is being misused against political opponents.

The adoption of the POTA marks a new onslaught on the democratic
rights of citizens. It is in tune with the BJP-led government's aim to use the
"terrorism" plank to suppress dissent and target the minority community.

Brinda Karat justifies NSA against Varun

Justifying the Uttar Pradesh government's decision to slap the National Security Act (NSA) against Varun Gandhi, the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) on Monday said a strong message had to be sent to those making hate speeches.

Other speeches which media and assorted seculars choose to ignore -

  • Imran Kidwai a senior Congress leader says

"I regret not being a mufti. Had I been one, I would have issued just one fatwa that going with the BJP amounts to committing kufr".

AICC in-charge for Punjab Moshina Kidwai and party candidate and Union Minister Pawan Bansal were reportedly present at the public meeting in which Imran is alleged to have made this statement.

  • Congress announced an electoral understanding with Ittihad-e-Millat Council in Uttar Pradesh whose president Maulana Tauqeer Raza Khan has a penchant to announce bounty for head of people
    • He had given an open call to assassinate former US president George W Bush  during his India visit in March 2006. The organization had offered a reward of Rs 25 crore to anybody who would undertake the ‘holy mission'.
    • He had also announced a reward of Rs. 5 lakhs to anyone who beheads Ms. Tasmila Nasreen.

Raza Khan said he was aligning with Congress because “of its secular policies” and that he felt the need to “strengthen secularism”. 

  • In Hyderabad, congress is allied with Majlis-e-Iteehadul Muslimeen (MIM). Three MLAs of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen or MIM were among those who attacked Taslima Nasreen at hyderabad and as if to put salt on the would police instead of arresting people who lead the attack, booked Taslima Nasreen for promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, language — a charge that can get her two years in prison, if proven.
  • CPM's tie up with People's Democratic Party whose leader Abdul Nasser Madani, whose inflammatory speeches had led to several riots in kerala . Madani and his wife Sufia were allegedly involved in terror activities and recruiting youngsters for extremist organization. Madhani was also one of key suspects in Coimbatore Blast case but was released due to lack of evidence.

Varun speech and secular hypocrisy

In last several days, the Secular Messiahs has worked themselves into a trance over speech of Varun Gandhi. In the frenzy, the secular channels went to town telecasting the tapes sometimes more than 20 times a day. They even lined up a full range of aunties and nephews of Varun Gandhi to condemn him. Some of aunties sounded as if Varun need some serious butt smacking to mend himself, no wonder he is AWOL for last couple of days.

I am not sure what channels are going to achieve from repeated telecast of the tapes? If they are exposing the ugly face of communalism. Constant repetition of the offending message is hardly the best way to fight it unless it is being done to promote certain political interests.

Till date the channels has not explained the source of the CD, which surfaced a full nine days after the actual speech. An analysis of the CD shows 17 cuts proving that it has been spliced and taken out of context and sometimes a voice has been superimposed in parts.

Moreover, the alacrity with which channels went to town telecasting the tapes without any counter checks, is in sharp contrast to their reservations, on allegedly ethical and professional grounds, to airing the tapes allegedly showing MPs accepting cash before the trust vote in Parliament.

Meanwhile, the secular messiahs completely turned a blind eye that congress has decided to nominate Jagdish Tytler and Sajjan Kumar for the Lok Sabha elections from Delhi.

For the unaware, Sajjan Kumar was indicted in the official report of the Nanavati Commission of Government of India on the 1984 anti-Sikh riots for instigating mobs to avenge the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Two witnesses, Salawati Kaur and Fota Singh, deposed that Sajjan Kumar addressed a meeting in front of Block A-4 gurdwara in Sultanpuri and gave instructions to kill Sikhs. The inquiry commission found credible evidence against Kumar, however the Indian government decided not to prosecute Sajjan Kumar due to lack of concrete evidence.

The official report of the Nanavati Commission of Government of India on the 1984 Anti-Sikh riots found some 'credible evidence' against Jagdish Tytler. It was also alleged in the court that then member of the Indian Parliament Jagdish Tytler was complaining to his supporters about relatively "small" number of Sikhs killed in his parliamentary constituency Delhi Sadar, which in his opinion had undermined his position in the ruling Indian National Congress party of India.

Secular India: Arrest for Statesman editor, Honor for MF Hussain!

The Ravindra Kumar and Anand Sinha, the editor and publisher of the Kolkata-basedMuslims protest in Calcutta against cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad in 2006 English daily The Statesman was arrested earlier last month for "hurting the religious feelings" of Muslims after they reprinted an article by The Independent's columnist Johann Hari. Titled "Why should I respect oppressive religions?", the piece was originally printed in The Independent on 28 January.

Subsequently, Sections of central Kolkata have been paralysed by protests

A note published on 8 February said The Statesman had reprinted Hari's article because

"it mourned the marginalisation of the middle, liberal path in modern society."The Statesman has always upheld secular values and has a record of providing space to all viewpoints, even contentious ones. If we were unable to fulfill this role, we would rather cease publication with honor than compromise our basic values.

The arrests came in spite of public apology by Kumar for reprinting the article.

Meanwhile in Kerala's, LDF government choose M F Hussain for the Raja Ravi Varma Prize, the state's highest honour for artist.

Cleansing of Hindu Leadership in Kandhamal

It seems there is a plan to terminate and cleanse the Hindu leadership in Kadhamal who opposed the Christian missionary activities and organised reconversions of the tribals

It started with cold blooded murder of Swami Lakshmanananda and four others  in August 2008. Swami Lakshmanananda was in forefront opposing  the Christian missionary activities and organized reconversions of the tribals.

Months later another VHP worker Dhanu Pradhani was killed by three unidentified persons at Kumbharigaon in Brahmanigaon area of the district. Police sources said three unknown persons fired at Pradhani at 12.30 pm while he was at a school in Kumbharigaon. The 32-year-old VHP activist received wounds in his chest and head.

Now a local RSS leader was gunned down. About 15 armed ultras struck Rudiguma village in the wee hours and shot dead Prabhat Panigrahi, who was staying at an RSS activist's house.

Imagine the Hue and Cry the Secular Brigade would have raised if the dead was a Padre!

In Talibans Pakistan, Hindu need to wear Red patch in their pagadis (turban)

In Nazi Germany, Jews were required to wear a yellow Star of David on their clothing. In Taliban controlled region of Pakistan Hindus are being asked to wear a red patch in their pagadis (turban).

Our UPA govt. which has been vociferous when it comes to affairs of Minorities has turned a blind eye towards suffering of Hindus is other countries

For support, is CPM going easy on Madani family?

Bonhomie between CPM and People's Democratic Party chief Abdul Nasser Madani, acquitted in the 1998 Coimbatore blasts case, in Kerala may not have come without a price. Investigations into some recent acts of terror reportedly point to the radical Muslim cleric-turned-politician's family. One of these relates to the 2005 bus burning case at Aluva near Kochi in which five men armed with pistols and other weapons had hijacked a Tamil Nadu State Road Transport Corporation bus soon after it left Kochi on September 9, 2005. They forced the driver to take it to an isolated spot. Later they set the bus on fire after forcing out the passengers. They were also shouting slogans in favour of Madani and against the Tamil Nadu government.

Police has found following evidence:

  1. Majeed Parambayi, an accused in the case, has also spilled the beans on Sufiya's alleged role in the case. The woman, he said, had called him to say that Madani was beaten up in the jail and that it was to be avenged. He also confessed to having distributed the money given by her to the accused after the crime.
  2. One of the accused in the case was Abdul Rahim, who along with three other youth from Kerala was killed by security forces in Kashmir in October 2008 while they were on their way to PoK. Sleuths are reportedly in possession of telephone call records between Rahim and Sufiya.
  3. A key witness in the case, Yousuf, had testified that the planning was done at the house of Madani's wife Sufiya at Eranakulam, sources said.Yousuf's statement recorded before a magistrate is part of the chargesheet filed recently by the police.

Inspite of substantial evidence Sufiya does not figure in the list of the accused!!!

Media blind when DYFI does a SRS in Trivandrum

An outlet of Café Coffee Day at Kowdiar was allegedly vandalised by a group of DYFI activists.

A restaurant employee said

“Around 100 DYFI activists armed with sticks and stones attacked the restaurant. When some customers tried to escape, they also attacked them, including women,”

A DYFI activist, however, told The Hindu that the DYFI Palayam area committee had taken out a march from Kowdiar Junction to the outlet to protest against the restaurant’s promotion of “immoral” activities among the youth.

Now the question is where is screaming headlines from Secular Media? Will Renuka declare a Cafe Bharo andolan this time? Where is the PINK Undie brigade? Will DYFI get Red Undies?

or Since its DYFI, Youth forum of CPM  it become a secular beating thus acceptable

State of Secular India - Continued - 4

Christian Pastors root for YSR

Pastors and Christian religious heads from the city and district expressed the view that only the Congress can safeguard and uphold the secular fabric of the Constitution that guarantees all citizens the freedom to pursue the religion of their choice. Thousands of pastors and Christian religious leaders participated in a meeting organised by Visakhapatnam Pastors Fellowship at the Municipal Stadium here on Friday.

Later giving details to newsmen, State Pastors Fellowship president Rev K. Pratap Sinha said that a Special Minority Corporation was established, a subsidy of Rs.20,000 was being extended to Christians to visit Jerusalem and Rs.15,000 worth material was being sanctioned to poor Christian couples who were marrying at mass weddings. All these benefits were being extended to Christians in AP as nowhere else in the country, he said and gave full credit to Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy for these programmes.

New Media policy: One bad news a day will keep communal away

Move over Gujarat, Karanataka is now favorite punching bag for secular media. It has now become almost a religious routine for secular media to publish one bad news about karnataka every day. I guess the rule is "One bad news a day will keep communal away"

Latest isssue is about installation of a Charlie Chaplin statute in Udupi. You would be forgiven for being "unsecularly" confused on what Charlie Chaplin has to do with Udupi.

Yesterday, media worked itself to a frenzy on how "saffron brigade didnot allow a Charlie Chaplin statue to be installed in Udupi".

Time of India which led the secular pack said

Hindutva brigands attacking a statue of Charlie Chaplin on the grounds that he was a Christian and having his statue close to a temple was offensive to Hindu sentiments may appear too bizzare to be taken seriously. It is indeed ludicrous. But unless such groups are dealt with summarily and the nuisance nipped in the bud, what seems farcical today could become tragically real tomorrow. The state government must show that it will not allow such lumpen activity to go unpunished. It must crack down hard to deter potential imitators of such trends.

Now look at some facts -

1. Well you may ask why he want a 67 feet statue?

Hemant Hegde the filmmaker was looking for Guinness Book of Records for the statue for the biggest ever statue of the comedian!!!

2. Was it a permanent structure?

yes it was a permanent structure

3. Where was it located?

It was located 300 yards away from Lord Someshwar temple near the coastline at a place where pilgrims park vehicles and from where they walk down towards the sanctum sanctorum.

4. Did they have permission to build it?

They didnot have the required permission!!! This is what Hegde says

The deputy commissioner told me to get a no-objection certificate from the police and the forest department, but every official wants me to wait. They tell me to go ahead but won’t give me that official letter of sanction. Can a man wait for years for permission

So now we have a situation in which a film director wants to build a humongous 67 feet Charlie Chaplin  Statue for Guinness book record in the land which is used for temple purposes and they want the devotees to accept it without a protest!!!

Now Pièce de résistance. Lets see how the same Times reported a similar incident few weeks back. Only difference is in this case Hindus were trying to install a Hanuman Statue. Following is the TOI report

Caught in a communal row, a massive 24-foot Hanuman statue installed at Sunset Point in Kanyakumari has triggered tension between Hindu groups and fishermen in the town, a predominantly Christian pocket.

On Sunday, an attempt by district authorities to remove the statue invited stiff opposition as members of Hindu groups, including local BJP, Hindu Munani and Shiv Sena, formed a human cordon around it. Several policemen have been posted in the area to prevent violence.

Kanyakumari district collector Jyothi Nirmala told TOI, "The trust which installed the statue had only obtained the permission of the panchayat and this was insufficient. The trust should have actually obtained the permission of the government through the district administration."

Shocking DECIET!!

Father Joseph Menengis, priest of St James Church in Mariyannapalya, Bangalore, confessed before the Justice B K Somashekara Commission of Inquiry on Wednesday that idol worship was being performed in churches to attract Hindus and convert them to Christianity.

Menengis said The priest told the commission

“Hindus believe in idol worship. So to attract them to Christianity, idol worship is performed in churches,” "despite idol worship being prohibited in Bible, we have idol worship in churches.” “The duty of every Christian is to convert non-Christians to Christianity by any means,”

During cross-examination the priest also confessed that

“no girl students are permitted to use kumkum, bangles and wear flowers"

St James Church was attacked by miscreants on September 21, 2008. The Commission is inquiring into the recent attacks on churches in Karnataka.

In Kerala LDF and UDF vie for Muslim fundamentalist votes

UDF and the LDF are bending over backwards to appease these elements who are eager to paint themselves in a larger- than-life canvas. The IUML, which is searching for a candidate for Ponnani, is learnt to have dumped M K Muneer, following opposition from the Jama’ate- Islami and the Popular Front of India, the new incarnation of the NDF.

The PFI and the Jama’at-e-islami are dead set against the candidature of Muneer, who demanded that the IUML publicly state it does not need the extremist vote. And the IUML leadership seems to have decided against fielding Muneer.

Things are more chaotic in the LDF camp where the CPI is up in arms against the dicates of the PDP chairman Abdul Nazar Madhani, who even went to the extent of saying that a communist will never taste success from Ponnani. Pinarayi, who branded the NDF a recruiting agency for terrorists, did not say a word when former Madhani associates were arrested one after the other for terrorist links.

Who is Who:

Abdul Nasser Madhani: CPM seems unconcerned by the fact that PDP leader Madani was prime accused in the Coimbatore blasts of 1998  and was exonerated for lack of evidence. He still faces around 20 cases in Kerala, which includes spreading communal hatred. 

NDF: Muslim Fundamentalist organisation based out of kerala. During first week of October last year, in Kashmir’s Lolab Valley, the army intercepted five heavily armed militants, attempting to cross LoC to go to PoK. In the encounter, two were killed and three escaped. The dead militants had several papers including diagrams and literature in Malayalam regarding assembling of bombs and IEDS. They also carried voter ID Cards in Malayalam. Two days later, among militants killed in Kupwara in the encounter with security forces, there were two Keralities. They also carried papers, Kerala bus tickets etc. Subsequently, Four NDF men Thaha, Nizar, Askar and Mohammed Nizar were arrested for recruiting jehadis and sending them to PoK for fighting Indian security forces. Police and IB investigations have revealed that the four Kerala militants killed in Kashmir are Mohammed Fayaz, Abdul Rahim, Mohammed Yasin and Mohammed Fayees.
