@AngrySaffron So, Hindus are not safe even under BJP rule! We need lion-hearted leaders like Balasaheb Thackeray.

[Angry Saffron @AngrySaffron]

10 Hindu families are preparing to flee due to continuous harassment by Muslim outsiders frequenting the local mosque in Sangli, Maharashtra.

As per reports:

- Groups of Muslims from other states and districts are coming to the mosque and tormenting local Hindus.
- They pass obscene remarks at Hindu women and openly abuse Hinduism.
- When Hindus protested, the miscreants threatened them to “close doors and windows if troubled”.

Hindu Ekta Andolan has warned police of stern action if immediate steps are not taken.

Mumbai Police have arrested Fayyiaz Premji for distributing 14,900 zinc rat poison-laced capsules disguised as painkillers during a Muharram procession, a plot that could have killed 30,000 people.

We are fighting unimaginable levels of terrorism.

Bangladeshi infiltrators are now being portrayed as "migrants" by The Wire.

As those same infiltrators leave India on their own, the left-leaning portal is weaving a tale of victimhood.

From the Bangladesh border comes a textbook example of agenda-driven reporting. @Anurragmishra dissects the narrative.

[Mr Sinha @Mrsinha]

Shocking report from West Bengal by @azad_nishant : Bengal Post Poll R*pe Victims speak up -
“My father was being beaten in one room, while I was being rap*d in another...”

“I was rap*d in front of my 11-year-old daughter.”

“I went to police station to file an FIR, they refused to file a report"

“All the men who rap*d me were Muslims...”

Such horrific stories.. Mamata Banerjee is responsible for all these things...

Hindus should not take back their temples even if it's proved that temples exist beneath each mosque. Hindus should be secular.

@theskindoctor13 Wasn't her past probed before appointment? Seeing what is happening around the nation, can one say that the BJP, despite making tall claims, has not been able to curb corruption?

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

She is Dr Vatsala Agarwal.

In August last year, she was appointed Director General Health Services of Delhi. She wasted no time and immediately started buying medicines and equipments at highly inflated rates by allegedly manipulating the tender processes, misusing hundreds of crores in public funds. By the time the Delhi police arrested her today, she had already allegedly created a health scam worth 600 crores.

Almost everyone in govt service, from top to bottom, seems to make massive money whenever an opportunity arises. Imagine the scale of systemic corruption if a single official can siphon off 600 crore rupees in less than a year. And it's not like she was honest for her 30 years of service till now, and suddenly turned corrupt; she only got caught now. Her life long scam would be much more than 600 crores.

It is truly surprising that India continues to grow despite such staggering leaks in the system.

[Basab Chatterjee @basab1951]

I'm worried by two developments in West Bengal: 1) eviction of hawkers put on hold; 2) the state government not to table the UCC bill in the Assembly on Monday (June 29) as announced.
What prompted Suvendu to swallow and change plans? Mischief makers are saying a lot of things!

[Megh Updates 🚨™ @MeghUpdates]

SHOCKING! Rakesh Uttrakhandi has alleged that while only 3.65 acres of land were originally granted to Muslims in Dhar Chandna, Himachal Pradesh, nearly 365 acres of forest land have now been encroached upon.

He has urged CM Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu to investigate the matter and reclaim the allegedly encroached land.

[OpIndia.com @OpIndia_com]

UN Special Rapporteurs, including Ben Saul had accused India of atrocities against Muslims after the Pahalgam attack, in a statement by UNHRC last year.

UN Watch has now found that Saul got $150,000 from China.

OpIndia had exposed the bias last year

#WATCH | Kolkata | On West Bengal mid-day meal replacing egg with paneer and soybean, ISKCON Kolkata Vice President and spokesperson Radharaman Das says, "100 grams of egg contains 13 grams of protein. In contrast, 100 grams of soya chunks contains 52 to 54 grams of protein, which is significantly higher... Lentils, commonly consumed in vegetarian households, on average, contain 25 grams of protein... Paneer, which contains 22 grams of protein... I was comparing protein consumption levels across Indian states with large vegetarian populations—such as Rajasthan, where 61% of people are vegetarian, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh. Surprisingly, protein consumption is highest in these very states. Conversely, in Bengal and the Northeastern states, where meat consumption is common, protein intake is lower... It is truly unfortunate that such misinformation is being spread..."

He also says, "There is a common perception that being Bengali is synonymous with eating fish and rice. But wasn't Chaitanya Mahaprabhu a Bengali? It is his Vaishnava tradition—he who is considered an ideal Bengali—that we follow through ISKCON. ISKCON's Founder-Acharya, Prabhupada, was also a Bengali who took ISKCON and the spirit of Krishna consciousness to the entire world. Today, there are 80 million vegetarians across the globe living very happy and contented lives..."

IF A DYED-IN-THE-WOOL SANGH PARIVAR CADRE LIKE CHAMPAT RAI IS OUT THEN MESSAGE FROM CM YOGI IS CLEAR THAT NO ONE IS ABOVE ACCOUNT.
Reports of Champat Rai, Gen Secy Ram Mandir Trust qutting over the alleged donation scam have sent shockwaves through the BJP-RSS ecosystem. The message from Yogi Adityanath is clear that no years of service to the cause, no amount of ideological pedigree guarantee immunity and that the net can widen much further. Champat Rai was a towering figure in the VHP which led the Ram Janmabhoomi reclamation movement. Will charges follow? One suspects Champat Rai, reportedly hand picked by PM Modi, won't be the only one held to account.

[Mahesh Jethmalani @JethmalaniM]

That is an undisguised threat from a party that repeatedly fails to persuade voters and therefore fantasises about frightening its political opponents.

Pawan Khera appears to have learnt nothing from the lesson Assam taught him. After displaying documents that became the subject of a criminal investigation into forgery and false accusations, ordinary political wisdom would have suggested restraint.

Instead, he has graduated from waving forged documents to issuing public threats.

Clearly these threats reveal the frustration of a rejected party and the misplaced swagger of a spokesman who mistakes a microphone for a mandate.

[Facts @BefittingFacts]

This video of a West Bengal Police barrack was shared by a constable.

This is Bhawani Bhawan, the headquarters of the West Bengal Police.

For 15 years, Mamata Banerjee served as the Home Minister of West Bengal.

She has ruined almost every government building in West Bengal.

All she did was paint them white and blue from the outside, while the interiors were left in a completely dilapidated condition.

Abhishek Banerjee holds "One Lakh Crore" rupees in overseas bank accounts!
Just listen to that figure again, "One Lakh Crore" rupees.

The money is stashed in Russia, Dubai, and Thailand.
He has even purchased an entire island.

He is attempting to flee abroad; once he manages to leave, he intends to use that money to acquire citizenship in another country.

His PA, Sumit, has likely already escaped abroad via Nepal.

It wasn't me—this information was revealed by Labour and Transport Minister Arjun Singh.

Syria (Aleppo) in the 1950s, when 40% of the population was Christian. Today, it is less than 1%. This is the case for all the Middle East under Islam. Funny how no one cares about this real genocide.

Rahul Gandhi had falsely accused Kartikeya Chouhan, son of Shivraj Singh Chouhan, in the Panama Papers case.

When Kartikeya filed a defamation suit, Rahul submitted a written apology to the court, admitting that he had named him by mistake.

First defame, then quietly apologise — @RitikaChandola explains Rahul Gandhi’s long-standing political habit.
