Pakistan is an ideological state. It was created on the principles of Islam, and it should not deviate from it. It should not give recognition to Israel since it's against Islamic principles
- Arfa Khanum
She wants Pakistan to remain Islamic, but India should be secular
The question arises for @TataCompanies
1. Tanishq by TATA earlier brought an advertisement promoting love jihad.
2. TCS by TATA allowing conversion racket in Nashik
3. Air India by TATA has a problem with bindi, sindoor, and kalawa, as they are not considered part of professionalism; even the mangalsutra and sacred thread, which are always kept inside, are not allowed
4. TATA Trusts by TATA runs Madrasa programs across the nation.
🇮🇳🇵🇰In 1971, the Pakistan Army and Muslim Brotherhood-linked militias killed 500 000+ people and raped 400 000 women in just 9 months in Bangladesh
Hindus constituted a large share of the victims murdered in the Bangladesh genocide of 1971.
55 years later, pressure is mounting on countries across the West to terror-list both the Muslim Brotherhood and Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami.
Today, after playing a crucial and violent role in the protests that overthrew the Sheikh Hasina government in 2024, the main Muslim Brotherhood-linked group, Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, has 68 seats out of 300 in the parliament and is again the driving force in the persecution of the country's Hindu and Christian minorities.
During the 1971 Liberation War, Jamaat-e-Islami sides with Pakistan against the Bangladeshi nationalists fighting for an independent state. They also never forgave India for defeating Pakistan in the war after it was attacked by Pakistan, making it possible for Bangladesh to be established.
After overthrowing Sheikh Hasina, Jamaat-e-Islami attacked hundreds of Hindu villages, burning down many of them while also attacking and killing Hindu students at universities on a large scale.
Overthrowing the government also created conditions in which the Jamaat-e-Islami has been able to firmly established itself in Bangladesh after having been banned by Sheikh Hasina in 2013.
They are now in the process of reestablishing close relations with the Muslim Brotherhood across the world, particularly through student organizations that they run.
The ideological links between the two organisations run deep.
Syed Abul A'la Maududi, who founded Jamaat-e-Islami in 1941, admitted that he had been inspired to launch the movement by the Egyptian Hassan al-Banna who founded the Muslim Brotherhood in 1928.
Many senior BJI leaders developed direct contact with the MB while studying abroad, particularly at Al-Azhar University in Egypt and in Turkey.
Today, BJI maintains active ties with MB-inspired groups in the Middle East, such as the Islamic Constitutional Movement in Kuwait and various organizations in Qatar.
One of the BJI's main assets is it's student wing Bangladesh Islami Chhatra Shibir (ICS), which maintains its own relationships with MB-affiliated youth groups across the world and has recently sought to deepen these ties for global outreach and funding.
After being one of the main perpetrators of the Bangladesh genocide, Jamaat-e-Islami is today the country's 2nd-largest party. In cooperation with the Muslim Brotherhood, the BJI party and movement is quickly spreading Islamism in Bangladesh.
The 1971 Bangladesh genocide has only been recognised by Bangladesh and Armenia as well as the regional parliaments of Scotland and Wales.
There is however a growing international movement calling on countries to recognise the genocide and ban both the Jamaat-e-Islami and the Muslim Brotherhood.
A bipartisan resolution (H.Res. 1430) on recognising the Bangladesh genocide was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2022 while Congressman Greg Landsman introduced his own new resolution in the same matter just last month.
The world can no longer ignore the past Islamist genocide and current atrocities perpetrated in Bangladesh.
The Prime Minister's Office:
Pakistan Defence Minister’s call for Israel’s annihilation is outrageous. This is not a statement that can be tolerated from any government, especially not from one that claims to be a neutral arbiter for peace.
Today, India takes a defining step in its civil nuclear journey, advancing the second stage of its nuclear programme.
The indigenously designed and built Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam has attained criticality.
This advanced reactor, capable of producing more fuel than it consumes, reflects the depth of our scientific capability and the strength of our engineering enterprise. It is a decisive step towards harnessing our vast thorium reserves in the third stage of the programme.
A proud moment for India. Congratulations to our scientists and engineers.
