Hyderabad : “How Can You Call Me Pakistani? My Grandfather Served as a Subedar in the Indian Army!”
A heated argument broke out between residents and committee members at Janapriya Lake Front Society in Kapra after a resident was allegedly called “Pakistani.” The exchange escalated, drawing attention from onlookers as police remained at the spot.
A video of @DrMohanBhagwat ji is being widely circulated as a response to my letter is false.
I dispatched my letter and put it up on social media on June 15, while this interaction by the RSS Chief was on June 13/14.
Let me set the record straight.
The RSS has every right to be a cultural organization. That is their choice. But it cannot simultaneously exercise enormous social and political influence while repeatedly insisting that it has no political agenda and therefore owes no public accountability. The BJP itself acknowledges the RSS as its ideological parent and their sway over public life is undeniable.
The RSS receives donations through a vast ecosystem of 2500+ affiliated organisations, both domestic and overseas and operates out of a sprawling headquarters in the national capital and other State capitals.
The RSS chief enjoys Advanced Security Liaison protocol and other people of RSS have protocols funded by the taxpayer and the public is entitled to know whether the organisation complies with the same legal standards expected of everyone else.
Formal recognition under law would settle this contradiction once and for all.
The argument that a religion cannot be registered and therefore the RSS need not be registered is both flawed and absurd. The RSS cannot be considered to be representing any religion when they themselves are only 100 years in existence and no Government has asked any religion to be registered.
I have no objection to the RSS carrying out cultural, social, political or any other lawful activity. It can run schools, service organisations, think tanks or even a music academy if it chooses. The only expectation is that it functions transparently and within the framework of the law, like every other organised body in this country. It is pursuant to this principle that a formal response has been requested in writing.
Above all, Mr. Bhagwat's immediate assertion that the RSS is under no obligation to answer any questions is the most troubling (while he enjoys every protocol on tax payers money), It reflects a mindset that public accountability is optional and that the organisation stands above legal scrutiny.
In a constitutional democracy, no institution, however old or influential, enjoys that privilege.
Shun the arrogance, follow the law and have your “office bearers” or “legal heads” come and explain to me.
Jai Samvidhan.
Jai Hindu.
This incident reminded me of the first CAA protest at ITO. A few of us caught a group of youngsters, led by a girl claiming to be students, carrying bags full of stones. They were not protesters but appeared to have been sent there by RW elements. We handed them to the police.
A booth in Bengal's New Town with 88% Muslim voters recorded 97% votes for BJP, handing BJP the seat. CPI(M) got 1 vote, TMC 5.
'This is an impossible result, where did our votes go?' ask locals. @shinjineemjmdr@Onkeyta_ & @Holytripper heard them.

1. ANI doesn't mention the name of the accused. Abhishek Mishra, A mechanical engineer from IIT Roorkee disguised as a 'IIT Baba'.
2. ANI doesn't post this from its main account @ANI but shared it from their regional account @ANINewsUP
3. ANI waited for a day to report this not so important News..
He was claiming to be a preacher who delivered online discourses on the 'Gita'. Drawn in by his sermons, several young, well educated women had come to live at the premises... By systematically brainwashing them, he was continuously exploiting them by conducting 'Gandharva Vivah' (a form of marriage based on mutual consent) and subsequently engage in sexual relations with the young women.
A revealing chat with my fellow “anti-national Soros agents.”
Vedant and his friends are brilliant, brave young Indians who asked CBSE and the Modi government simple questions - but got insults instead of answers.
They deserve a bright and secure future. We will make sure they get it.
In UP's Kanpur, at least 15 to 20 applicants of B.Ed entrance exam fell in a sewer after the concrete cover collapsed outside examination centre in the district.
Nakul Goojar forcibly sent his sister to Zishan & Shahvez to have syx & trap them in a love jihad case & extort ₹1 million from them. However, after returning, she chose to reveal the truth about her brother. Listen to what this policewoman has to say.
#WATCH | Delhi | Brother of the deceased victim says, "On Eid, my brother, or perhaps his friend Salman, asked a boy to bring cigarettes from shop. The boy immediately retorted... My brother dismissed him as a child and let him go. He then brought his brothers, Cheema, Saurabh, and others... My brother tried to calm the matter and apologised... They intended to kill and all of them came with knives in their hands, and Saurabh was the primary accused among them, but the police have released him... My brother's wife called me and told me, so I went straight to the hospital and saw that my brother was in very bad condition. My brother died 10-15 minutes after I arrived."
20 year old Faizan Ahmad Shah was traveling from UP to Bihar on Purvanchal Express.
He was on his way home to celebrate Eid with his family.
While his parents were waiting for him at home, his father received a message from Faizan.
He told him that he has been attacked in the train and he's hiding to text his father.
This was the last time Faizan's family heard from him.
This is at least the third lynching news I've come across in the last three days.
More and more Muslims are getting attacked while traveling in train.
This country has already become unrecognizable.
At a Sambhaji Jayanti event organised by the Sakal Hindu Samaj in Andheri East, Mumbai, on May 14, BJP MLA and Maharashtra Fisheries Minister Nitesh Rane made several inflammatory remarks targeting Muslims. He promoted the “love jihad” conspiracy theory, referred to Muslims as “green snakes” and “jihadis,” urged Hindus to become “kattar,” dismissed ideas such as “bhaichara” and “sarv dharam sambhav,” claimed that Shivaji fought against Islam for a “Hindu rashtra,” and appeared to endorse retaliatory violence against Muslims.
A mosque gets shot up so Fox News finds a rabbi😕
The Rabbi trivialises the terrorist: "I will put money on it that there's some mental illness going on".
What the hell is going on?
A disturbing incident of alleged abuse against an elderly Muslim man has surfaced from India, where members of a Hindu nationalist group reportedly cut the beard of an 80 year old Muslim elder, applied vermilion on his forehead, and placed a sacred Hindu thread around his neck.
The incident has raised concerns over growing public intimidation and mistreatment of Muslims.
Muslims are not safe in India 🇮🇳 💔
@dealztrendz Forgot to thank you but few days ago you had posted about this products 90% off and I got them few free and few in dirt cheap prices thank you so much you saved me at least 3k rupees
The internet has given people extraordinary confidence. Enough to call the daughter of two INA legends Captain Lakshmi Sahgal and Colonel Prem Kumar Sahgal a “fake news peddler” while disputing an anecdote about Netaji where her father was actually present.
