Hashimpura Massacre

It was the 22nd of May 1987, Ramzan and Friday, just like today, when 'secular' India's most shameful and horrendous custodial kil-ling took place at #Hashimpura. That day, after the Friday prayers, in the midst of the ongoing Meerut riots, some 600-700 Muslims..

were dragged from their homes by army personnel, CRPF, PAC, and police and were made to sit on the footpath near Gulmarg Talkies. — The young and the strong among them were chosen, loaded in a PAC truck URU 1493, and taken to Upper Ganga Canal in Murad Nagar..

and later to Makanpur in Ghaziabad only to be shot cold-blooded and thrown into the canal. — This was totally an anti-muslim crime by the state, though the documented facts are known to everyone, three points are worth mentioning:

A) On May 23, 1987, at Meerut Circuit House, the next day after the massæcre, there was a meeting attended by Veer Bahadur Singh, the CM, Daya Shankar, the DGP, SK Mukherjee, the IG, Nasim Zaidi, the Ghaziabad DM, Vibhuti Narain, the Ghaziabad SP and other senior officials.

There were discussions that can the bodies of 42 be thrown away in the canal just like Malyana, never to be found? Could the 3 survivors under police protection also die? Would anyone expect justice from them? #HashimpuraMassacre

B) One of the survivors Zulfiqar Nasir had a press conference in Delhi with Syed Shahabuddin and Subramanyam Swami, narrating the nightmare he went through. There was a shameless press brief the next day addressed by Meerut DM RS Kaushik, SSP Girdhari Sharma, nd frmr SP VKB Nair.

Not only did they claim that no massacre happened at Hashimpura but also that no one with the name of Zulfiqar ever lived in Hashimpura. Shouldn't they have been punished too for propagating blatant lies. #HashimpuraMassacre

3) There were three 'Sarkari Musalmans' sitting at the vital position throughout the investigation. Just to show the Indianness in them, they did very little to ensure Justice. Syed Khalid Rizvi, who headed the CID failed to link the role of Major Satish Kaushik whose brother..

Prabhat Kumar, a RSS terrœrist, was killed the previous day; who was present at Hashimpura during the whole incident. Mr Nasim Zaidi who later became chief Election commissioner failed to act responsibly and tell the outside world about the heinous crimes.

And Ms Mohsina Kidwai, the then MP of Meerut who later became the General Secretary of AICC, not only refused to ensure medical care to one of the injured survivors but kept silent about the gory crimes.

— Hashimpura, like the Bihar killings of 1946, Nellie of 1983, Bhagalpur of 1989, Delhi Pogrom of 1984 and 2020, Muzaffarnagar of 2013, Gujarat pogrom of 2002, and numerous others remain a disgraceful instance of the merciless and barbaric use of brute state force..

and a spineless, politically expedient government lying prostate before its own men - The Killers. Hashimpura is not just an instance, it's a phenomenon that goes deep into the mindset of Indian society. Justice is awaited. #HashimpuraMassacre

"I wish the dead could have eyes for once, they could look into the Indian State with tears and anger and say that irrespective of any political party at the government, you have been inherently anti-muslim"

Patna, India — At least 31 people died and 20 others were hospitalized in serious condition after allegedly drinking tainted liquor sold without authorization in eastern India, a top elected official said Thursday. The deaths occurred Tuesday and Wednesday and the victims belonged to three villages in Saran district of Bihar state where the manufacturing, sale and consumption of liquor are prohibited.   The deaths were reported in a district government-run hospital where the sick were brought by their families for treatment, said Dr. S.D. Sinha, the hospital chief.   Sale and consumption of liquor were prohibited in Bihar state in 2016 after women's groups campaigned against poor workers splurging their meager incomes on drinking.   Police officer Santosh Kumar said several of the 20 hospitalized had lost their eyesight.   Several opposition parties, including the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party, held protests Thursday outside the state legislature building to demand the state's liquor ban be scrapped and some monetary compensation provided to the bereaved families.   Sushil Modi, the state BJP leader, said more than 1,000 people have died after drinking tainted liquor since the ban was imposed six years ago. The BJP is in opposition in the state.   Nitish Kumar, the state's top elected official belonging to the socialist party Janata Dal, rejected their demands and said the ban on the sale of liquor was "not my personal wish but a response to the cries of the women of the state."   Three people have been detained for questioning for allegedly selling spiked alcohol in the area, he said. Saran district is nearly 40 miles north of Patna, the Bihar state capital.

Deaths from illegally brewed alcohol are common in India, where illicit liquor is cheap and often spiked with chemicals such as pesticides to increase potency. Illicit liquor has also become a hugely profitable industry across India, where bootleggers pay no taxes and sell enormous quantities of their product to the poor at a cheap rate.   At least 28 people died and 60 others became ill from drinking tainted liquor in the western Indian state of Gujarat earlier this year. Gujarat is another Indian state where the manufacturing, sale and consumption of liquor are prohibited.

In 2020, at least 120 people died after drinking tainted liquor in India's northern Punjab state.

[ad_1] Indian-Americans are celebrating Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential election, expressing optimism about the potential benefits for the economy, border security, and global peace.  Donald Trump has secured a second term as president after winning crucial battleground states. This victory marks a significant comeback for Trump, who lost his re-election bid in 2020 to President Joe Biden.  Avinash Gupta, President of the Foreign Indian Association, believes Trump’s good rapport with Prime Minister Narendra Modi will strengthen India-US relations. Gupta cited local factors like inflation, open borders, and ongoing wars as key concerns that influenced Indian-American voters.  “They voted what was best for India -America friendship. President Trump has a good rapport with PM Modi. Local factors such as inflation, open borders and ongoing wars also came into play. We are looking forward to course correction and having a better economy, secured borders and global peace,” he said.  Alok Kumar Indian- American community leader, NJ&NY (Chairman Bihar Foundation USA East Coast & Past President & Board of trustee -FIA-NYNJCT&NE), emphasised the shared values between India and the US as the world’s largest and oldest democracies.  “As the oldest and largest democracies, the United States and India share a natural bond rooted in shared values and a mutual commitment to global peace. President Trump and Prime Minister Modi have emphasised ending global conflicts and fostering harmony, a vision that I believe the new administration will continue to uphold,” he said. Kumar highlighted the strong personal rapport between Trump and Modi, evidenced by landmark visits like Trump’s trip to Gujarat and Modi’s “Howdy Modi” event in Texas. Kumar is confident that the new administration will uphold the vision of promoting global peace and strengthening strategic, economic, and cultural partnerships. “The strong personal rapport between past leaders–evidenced by landmark visits like President Trump’s visit to Gujarat and Prime Minister Modi’s ‘Howdy Modi’ event in Texas–has solidified this relationship, making it more resilient. With a new administration, I’m confident we’ll see further strengthening of our strategic, economic, and cultural partnerships, benefiting both our nations and promoting a peaceful, prosperous world,” Kumar added.  Anil Bansal from New Jersey, a businessperson and former chairperson of Indus American Bank, acknowledged the election results and expressed hope that Trump’s administration will serve all Americans. Despite disagreements with Trump’s policies, Bansal, a supporter of Kamala Harris, committed to staying engaged and working toward positive change, striving for a future guided by unity and respect.  “I want to acknowledge the results of this election and accept Donald Trump as the next President. This election season has been intense and very divisive. While I do not agree with many of President Trump’s policies and actions, I sincerely hope that his administration will serve all Americans and address the challenges that we all face. I’m committed to staying engaged and working toward positive change. I hope we can all strive for a future where unity and respect guide us, no matter our differences. I pray for a brighter future for everyone,” he said. (Input from ANI) [ad_2] Source link

JD-U will not even win 20 seats in 2025 Assembly: Prashant Kishor

Prashant Kishor, the chief of the Jan Suraaj campaign on Tuesday said that the Janata Dal (United), led by Nitish Kumar, will struggle to secure even 20 seats in the upcoming 2025 Assembly elections.

“In 2015, the Grand Alliance government in Bihar was only formed because I supported Nitish Kumar. In the 2020 Assembly elections, Nitish’s party significantly declined, securing just 43 seats. The 2025 elections will result in an even more drastic outcome. The JD-U will be uprooted from Bihar politics along with the RJD,” Prashant Kishor told media persons in Jamui district.

Tejashwi Yadav Accuses Prashant Kishor of Being a BJP Agent Amid Election Strategy Allegations

In a significant political development, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav has accused poll strategist Prashant Kishor of being a “BJP agent.” These allegations come at a crucial time during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, with Yadav suggesting that Kishor is being funded by the BJP to influence the election narrative. This accusation adds another layer of complexity to the already charged political atmosphere in Bihar and across India.

Tejashwi Yadav’s Allegations

Tejashwi Yadav, the former Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar, made these allegations during a public statement on Friday. He claimed that the BJP, facing potential losses in the ongoing elections, has roped in Prashant Kishor to manipulate the narrative after three to four rounds of voting. Yadav pointed out that Kishor, who now heads his own party, Jan Suraaj, has been deeply involved in Bihar’s political landscape, having previously managed campaigns for various parties and served as the national vice president of Nitish Kumar’s Janata Dal (United).

Connection with Amit Shah and BJP

Yadav further alleged that Prashant Kishor’s close association with the BJP is not new. He mentioned that even his uncle, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, had once stated that Kishor was made the national vice president of JDU at the behest of Amit Shah, the Home Minister. This claim, according to Yadav, has never been denied by either Shah or Kishor. The RJD leader asserted that Kishor has been aligned with the BJP from the beginning, and his involvement with any party tends to lead to its downfall.

Funding and Organizational Allegations

One of the critical points in Yadav’s allegations was the claim that Kishor maintains salaried district presidents, a practice he suggests is not even common within the BJP. He questioned the source of Kishor’s funding, implying that the BJP is backing him financially as part of their electoral strategy. Yadav accused Kishor of manipulating voter data and working with various political entities year after year to serve the BJP’s interests.

Reaction to Viral Fake Screenshot

The controversy was further fueled by a fake screenshot circulating on social media, falsely claiming that Prashant Kishor had been appointed as the BJP’s national spokesperson. This rumor prompted a strong response from Kishor’s Jan Suraaj party, which issued a statement denouncing the fake news. The party also criticized Congress and its leader Jairam Ramesh for allegedly spreading the fake document. This incident highlights the pervasive issue of misinformation and its impact on political discourse.

Political Implications and Background

Tejashwi Yadav’s accusations against Prashant Kishor come at a time when Bihar’s political scene is highly volatile. Kishor, a prominent political strategist, has worked with multiple parties across India, helping them shape their election campaigns. His tenure with Nitish Kumar’s JDU ended acrimoniously in 2020, with Kumar asserting that Kishor’s induction into the party was influenced by Amit Shah.

These allegations by Yadav are likely to intensify the political rivalry between the RJD and the BJP, as well as between Yadav and Kishor. The timing of these accusations, amidst the ongoing elections, suggests a strategic move by Yadav to discredit Kishor and, by extension, the BJP.

Tejashwi Yadav’s Political Strategy

Tejashwi Yadav’s strategy appears to be focused on undermining the credibility of Prashant Kishor, whom he sees as a significant threat due to his influence and strategic acumen. By labeling Kishor as a BJP agent, Yadav aims to cast doubt on Kishor’s impartiality and question his motives. This move could potentially sway public opinion against Kishor and the BJP, especially among undecided voters.

BJP’s Response and Strategy

The BJP has yet to officially respond to these allegations. However, the party’s strategy in Bihar has often involved complex alliances and strategic partnerships. The involvement of Kishor, a seasoned strategist, could be seen as part of a broader plan to secure electoral success in a state where political dynamics are highly fluid.

Conclusion

Tejashwi Yadav’s allegations against Prashant Kishor introduce a new dynamic into the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. By accusing Kishor of being a BJP agent and questioning his funding sources, Yadav aims to discredit both Kishor and the BJP. This development underscores the intense political rivalry in Bihar and highlights the broader challenges of managing political narratives in an era of misinformation.

As the elections progress, the impact of these allegations on voter sentiment and the overall election outcome remains to be seen. What is clear, however, is that the battle for Bihar’s political future is as fierce as ever, with every move and counter-move adding to the high-stakes drama of Indian politics.

RJD, Congress In Huddle Amid Talks Of Nitish Kumar's Switch

Nitish Kumar will likely take oath as Bihar Chief Minister again tomorrow, a record ninth time, supported by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) - mirroring a familiar script from the 2020 elections. The political churn has triggered a flurry of activities, with large-scale transfers of officers adding to the suspense. Reports of an imminent change in government are rife, casting a shadow over the current 'Mahagathbandhan' ruling coalition.

The BJP has convened a meeting of its MPs and MLAs today, ostensibly to strategise for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls. State unit chief Samrat Choudhary downplayed speculations of a renewed alliance with Nitish Kumar, but BJP leaders dropped significant hints about behind-the-scenes discussions.

According to sources, Nitish Kumar has convened a session of the legislative party tomorrow. Sources have said that extensive relocations of district magistrates are underway in Bihar, coinciding with rumors of an imminent shift in the government.

Amid this political upheaval, Congress, Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal (United)'s partner in the opposition INDIA bloc, has also called a meeting in Purnea, while denying any connection to the evolving political scenario. The Congress plans to discuss preparations for Rahul Gandhi's 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra,' set to enter Bihar on Monday, with public meetings scheduled in Kishanganj, Purnea, and Katihar.

While the immediate focus appears to be on the Lok Sabha elections, sources indicate that the Bihar Assembly won't be dissolved just yet. Both the BJP and JD(U) are engaging with their respective MPs and MLAs to solidify their strategies, setting the stage for a comprehensive realignment in Bihar's political landscape.

However, the return of Nitish Kumar to the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is not without its complexities. Sources have told NDTV that the intricate game plan includes the nomination of an Assembly Speaker and a cabinet reshuffle.

Former Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi and his Hindustan Awam Morcha are also players in this political chessboard, courted by the BJP to secure a strategic alliance.

Nitish Kumar's political journey, once synonymous with stability and development, has become a tale of flip-flops and realignments. From the acclaimed 'Sushashan Babu' to the enigmatic "Paltu Kumar," his trajectory reflects the evolving dynamics of Bihar's politics.
