सोचा एक बार फिर याद दिला दूँ । आप सब भूल गए होंगे ।

डॉ मनमोहन सिंह ने नोबल पुरस्कार विजेता "डॉ अमर्त्यसेन" को असीमित अधिकारों के साथ नालंदा विश्वविद्यालय का प्रथम चांसलर नियुक्त किया। उन्हें इतनी स्वायत्तता दी गयी कि उन्हें विश्विद्यालय के नाम पर बिना किसी स्वीकृति और जवाबदेही के कितनी भी धनराशि अपने इच्छानुसार खर्च करने एवं नियुक्तियों आदि का अधिकार था । उनके द्वारा लिए गये निर्णयों एवं व्यय किये गये धन का कोई भी हिसाब-किताब सरकार को नहीं देना था ।

क्या आप कल्पना कर सकते हैं कि छुपे रुस्तम मनमोहन सिंह और अमर्त्यसेन ने मिलकर किस तरह से जनता की गाढ़ी कमाई और टैक्स के पैसों से भयंकर लूट मचाई ? वो भी तब जबकि अमर्त्यसेन अमेरिका में बैठे बैठे ही 5 लाख रुपये का मासिक वेतन ले रहे थे जितनी कि संवैधानिक रूप से भारत के राष्ट्रपति, प्रधानमंत्री, मुख्य न्यायाधीश, मुख्य चुनाव आयुक्त, रक्षा सेनाओं के अध्यक्षों, कैबिनेट सचिव या किसी भी नौकरशाह को भी दिए जाने का कोई प्रावधान ही नहीं है ।

इतना ही नहीं अमर्त्यसेन को अनेक भत्तों के साथ साथ असीमित विदेश यात्राओं और उस पर असीमित खर्च करने का भी अधिकार था ।

कहानी का अंत यहीं पर नहीं हुआ बल्कि उन्होंने मनमोहनी कृपा से 2007 से 2014 की सात वर्षों की अवधि में कुल 2730 करोड बतौर चांसलर नालंदा विश्वविद्यालय खर्च किये.... आपकी आंखें फटी रह गयी न ... विश्वास नहीं हो रहा न कि मनमोहन सिंह ईमानदारी के चोंगे में कितने बड़े छुपे रुस्तम थे ?

चूंकि यूपीए सरकार द्वारा संसद में पारित कानून के तहत अमर्त्यसेन के द्वारा किये गये खर्चों की न तो कोई जवाबदेही थी और न ही कोई ऑडिट होना था और न ही कोई हिसाब उन्हें देना था इसलिए देश को कभी शायद पता ही न चले कि दो हज़ार सात सौ तीस करोड़ रुपये आखिर गये कहाँ ?

राफेल राफेल चिल्लाने वाले राहुल और रंक से राजा बने दर्जाप्राप्त भूमाफिया रॉबर्ट वाड्रा की धर्मपत्नी प्रियंका वाड्रा की पारिवारिक विरासत ही है कानूनी जामा पहना कर संगठित लूट की ताकि कानून के हाथ कितने भी लंबे हो जायँ पर उनका कुछ न बिगड़े ।

ऐसी ही संस्कृति में पलने बढ़ने के कारण दोनों भाई-बहनों में कोई आत्मग्लानि का भाव है ही नहीं बल्कि आंखों में बेशर्मी की चमक हो जैसे...किस मुंह से ये गरीब, दलित, किसान और पिछड़ों के हक की लड़ाई लड़ने की बात करते हैं !! निपट ढोंग है ये ।

अभी कहानी खत्म नहीं हुई, पिक्चर अभी बाकी है -
अमर्त्यसेन सेन ने जो नियुक्तियां कीं उसपर भी कानूनन कोई सवाल नहीं उठाया जा सकता । उन्होंने किन किन की नियुक्तियां कीं ... आइये ये भी जान लेते हैं -

प्रथम चार नियुक्तियां जो उन्होंने कीं वो थे -
1. डॉ उपिंदर सिंह
2. अंजना शर्मा
3. नवजोत लाहिरी
4. गोपा सब्बरवाल

..... कौन थे ये लोग
... ? ? जानेंगे तो मनमोहन सिंह के चेहरे से नकाब उतर जायेगा ।

डॉ उपिंदर सिंह मनमोहन सिंह की सबसे बड़ी पुत्री हैं और बाकी तीन उनकी करीबी दोस्त और सहयोगी ।
इन चार नियुक्तियों के तुरंत बाद अमर्त्यसेन ने जो अगली दो नियुक्तियां कीं वो गेस्ट फैकल्टी अर्थात अतिथि प्राध्यापक की थी और वो थे -
1. दामन सिंह
2. अमृत सिंह
.....गोया ये कौन थे ?
पहला नाम डॉ मनमोहन सिंह की मझली पुत्री और दूसरा नाम उनकी सबसे छोटी पुत्री का है ।
और सबसे अद्वितीय बात जो दामन सिंह और अमृत सिंह के बारे है वो ये कि ये दोनों "मेहमान प्राध्यापक" अपने सात वर्षों के कार्यकाल में कभी भी नालंदा विश्वविद्यालय नहीं आयी ... पर बतौर प्राध्यापक ये अमेरिका में बैठे बैठे ही लगातार सात सालों तक भारी-भरकम वेतन लेती रहीं ।

उस दौर में नालंदा विश्वविद्यालय की संक्षिप्त विशेषता ये थी कि -
विश्विद्यालय का एक ही भवन था, इसके कुल 7 फैकल्टी मेम्बर और कुछ गेस्ट फैकल्टी मेम्बर (जो कभी नालंदा आये ही नहीं ) ही नियुक्त किये गये जो अमर्त्यसेन और मनमोहन सिंह के करीबी और रिश्तेदार थे । विश्विद्यालय में बमुश्किल 100 छात्र भी नहीं थे और न ही कोई वहां कोई बड़ा वैज्ञानिक शोध कार्य ही होता था जिसमे भारी भरकम उपकरण या केमिकल आदि का प्रयोग होता हो ।

फिर वो 2730 करोड़ रुपये गये कहाँ आखिर ?
मोदी जब सत्ता में आये और उन्हें जब इस कानूनी लूट की जानकारी हुई तो अमर्त्यसेन के साथ साथ मनमोहनी पुत्रियों को भी तत्काल बाहर का रास्ता दिखा दिया ।

कहाँ गए वो राफेल राफेल चिल्लाने वाले... लौट आये बैंकॉक से ? कहाँ गयी गरीब किसान की पत्नी जिनके साथ अत्याचार हो रहा है ....अभी गरीब गुरबा के साथ सेल्फी में ही जुटी हैं क्या ? कहाँ गये वो 49 मॉब लिंचिंग के स्वयम्भू चिंतक जिनके पीठ पर लदा पुरस्कारों का अहसान अभी उतरा नहीं है तो आंखों में बेहयाई अभी बाकी है ?

Hindu girls are targetted for conversion-nikah because their predators are taught that doing so will give them a seat in jannat

If the girls don’t convert, they are killed because predators are told that doing so will still give them a seat in jannat

Hindu boys are killed over trivial spats because they are told that killing a kaafir will give them a seat in jannat

Cows are slaughtered because they are taught that kaafir worships them as mother and kaafir’s beliefs must be constantly insulted

Hindu groups are pelted with stones because they are taught that music outside their religious structures is haram and is to be punished by mob violence

Taking awareness of all this to the last mile is an act of great social service

Societies transform when they are educated about the roots of such violence and not merely its symptoms

Babasaheb Ambedkar too served this cause through his book Pakistan and Partition of India. We are committed to taking this awareness to masses

[Vijay Kedia @VijayKedia1]

Respected @nsitharaman ji and @FinMinIndia ,

Suggestion 1 of 3 for strengthening India's capital markets:
Long-term capital gains tax on listed equities should be abolished.

A long-term shareholder is not a speculator but a provider of patient risk capital. By investing in and holding businesses, investors help companies expand, create jobs, innovate and contribute to India's economic growth.

India requires enormous amounts of long-term capital to build world class enterprises, infrastructure and global champions. Tax policy should encourage households to move savings from passive assets, including imported stores of value such as gold, into productive businesses that create jobs, generate tax revenues and build national wealth.

The appreciation in a company's value is not created in isolation. During its growth journey, the government already collects corporate tax, GST, income tax from employees, customs duties, stamp duties and numerous other levies. Long-term capital gains are often the final outcome of economic activity that has already generated substantial tax revenues.

Most importantly, tax policy should clearly distinguish between investment and speculation. A long term shareholder is a partner in wealth creation, not merely a participant in market transactions. Tax policy should reward long-term ownership of productive businesses and distinguish it from short-term speculation.

India needs more patient capital, more entrepreneurship and more long term investing. Abolishing long-term capital gains tax on listed equities would be a powerful step in that direction.

Respectfully submitted.

One mother forbade medicines to the dying, converted them, then laughed at the death count; the other mother has provided free treatment to 5.9 million, built 13 million sqft, 95 OT, 101 speciality, 4050 bed hospitals employing 1540 doctors.

The first mother got the Nobel Prize.

After Nupur Sharma episode I no longer trust Narendra Modi and this BJP Govt. They are capable of doing anything. Iran has learnt its lessons well from Nupur Sharma episode. Therefore it believes that it can always try and force GOI. If Gulf Countries can succeed in forcing GOI to act against Nupur why can't Iran.

[Sonam Mahajan @AsYouNotWish]

Major Gaurav Arya is an Indian citizen and India is a sovereign country. Iran does not get to ‘warn’ India into taking action against Indians for speech it dislikes. If anything he said violates Indian law, Indian institutions will handle it. That decision is not outsourced to foreign governments or religious sensitivities. India is not the Gulf where clerics, Islamic pressure, and foreign intelligence agencies from fellow Muslim countries decide what citizens and expats in those countries can say. You do not get to export blasphemy-style intimidation into a democracy. I may or may not agree with Arya’s views, but I fully support his right to speak freely unless an Indian court says otherwise. India is not anyone’s religious sphere of influence. A large Muslim population in India is not an invitation for Islamic regimes to bully Indians or dictate our freedoms.

I strongly urge the Government of India not to let draconian external powers with no credibility use India’s growing Muslim demographics as a point of leverage to intimidate, blackmail, threaten Indians, or police speech here. It is a dangerous path to enter, and there is no turning back.

[Ram Gopal Varma @RGVzoomin]

The @Dhurandhar2 is a HORROR.

It is a horror for all filmmakers who built their careers and their fortunes on dumbed down, over the top cinema.
The cinema that demanded the brain to be left at home .
The cinema that was rammed down our throats full of LOUDNESS and MASALA which will be now soon on a ventilator struggling for breath

#Dhurandar2 will scare the living hell out of every filmmaker who still worships the godly hero
In #Dhurandhar2 , @RanveerOfficial killed all those heroes who never bleed ,and never feel pain , and then over the dead bodies of those kind of outdated heroes ,he gave birth to a true real hero , flawed, yet dangerous and unpredictable and also his heroism comes from his actions instead of being thrusted upon the heads with ear drum shattering music

Compared to this new kind of hero , the godly heroes will suddenly look ridiculous, almost like clowns in a circus. And then their blind worshippers will feel naked, exposed and scared hearing of the collections

#Dhurandhar2 will terrify those who built their careers on action set pieces where physics is a joke and gravity is non existent . The scenes, where men are thrown fifty feet in the air, bounce off the ground like rubber balls, survive explosions that would vaporise cities, and still deliver punch dialogues while dusting their shoulders will be hunted and killed by the new audience

After the audience saw action that actually hurts, that actually bleeds, the flying goon brigade will suddenly feel cheap, fake, and embarrassingly ridiculous . The filmmakers who still swear by wires and cranes to fake uplift the heroes will now wake up shivering in cold sweat.
It will make the pan india directors tremble in their chairs , the ones who still believe characters are created by hairdos, costumes, photo shopped six packs, and designer clothes instead of intrinsic psychological depth

When the audience of #Dhurandhar2 saw a hero whose power comes from his mind and not his biceps, the hair and costume school of cinema will look like kindergarten dress up.

Dhurandhar 2 is not just a film.

It is a verdict.

With Dhurandhar 2 @AdityaDharFilms cut off the head of that kind of cinema , the one that insulted the intelligence of the audience , the one that replaced stories with bloated gaudy visuals , the one that turned heroes into gods and audiences into sheep

The collections of #Dhurandhar2 are now in the process of burying all those earlier makers beliefs in a grave so deep that even their ghosts can’t come out

And the screams you are hearing now of #Dhurandhar2 box office collections is the collective sound which is announcing their deaths.

If the makers of those kind of films which are already under production , or about to start shooting , don’t go back to their drawing boards and exorcise themselves by watching #Dhurandhar2 multiple times even GOD can’t save their SPIRITS

But the problem is , even if they intend to do that , they might have tonnes of money, but where will they get the brain of @AdityaDharFilms ? 😳😳😳

[Sonam Mahajan @AsYouNotWish]

Can’t stop laughing.

According to Pakistan’s Punjab government portal, the people of Punjab are descendants of the Iranians, Turks, Afghans, and Arabs who came individually or in groups.

Fascinating claim. Apparently, nobody in Punjab ever belonged to the land itself. Everyone simply parachuted in from somewhere west of the Khyber. The desperation to borrow ancestry would be funny if it were not so revealing. The irony becomes complete when many of the same people land in the West and suddenly stop being Iranian, Turkish, Afghan, or Arab. Overnight, they rediscover a new identity and introduce themselves as ‘Indian’, so people assume they are Hindus. Borrowed ancestry dissolves quickly when reputation and convenience enter the conversation, or one meets an immigration officer. Evidently, Indian identity travels better than all the mentioned identities put together.

Crazy converted losers.

I’m completely stranded at Moscow airport… alone, helpless, and running out of hope.

No one from @makemytripcare or @etihad is answering my desperate messages.
Russia doesn’t accept Visa or Mastercard anymore.
I have ZERO cash left. Not even for food or water.

The Etihad ground staff is avoiding me more than my ex ever did — literally turning their faces away and telling me “just call customer care”… which has been busy for hours. I’m standing here like a beggar in my own nightmare.

I don’t know how I’m going to get home. I’m scared. I feel abandoned by the very companies I trusted with my journey. My family is waiting and I can’t even tell them I’m safe.

Please… if anyone from Etihad, MakeMyTrip, or even the Indian embassy sees this — HELP ME.
And if you’re reading this, just one RT could save me. I’m begging.

Exiled Pakistan Army officer, Adil Raja, had made a striking claim on 28 January. He had warned that the Pakistan Army could deliberately stage or facilitate attacks inside Pakistan to manufacture instability, make the internal security situation appear unmanageable, and thereby justify pulling out of Trump’s Gaza pact. According to Raja, this arrangement envisaged the Pakistan Army becoming part of an international stabilisation force, something deeply unpopular within Pakistan’s military ranks.

At the time, the claim sounded extreme. However, events inside Pakistan rapidly began to align disturbingly well with his warning.

Days later, Balochistan witnessed mass strikes that paralysed large parts of the province, intensifying instability in a territory already dominated by military control. Soon after, a major terror attack hit Islamabad, targeting a Shia mosque in what was one of the most serious sectarian strikes in the capital in recent years. Pakistani authorities were quick to establish an external linkage, claiming that an Afghan national had planned the attack.

The sequencing matters.

Raja had specifically suggested that Pakistan’s military establishment might allow or engineer crises that look uncontrollable, both to redirect domestic anger and to create strategic excuses internationally. The rapid escalation of unrest in Balochistan followed by a high-profile sectarian attack in Islamabad lends uncomfortable weight to that assertion.

Now, Raja has issued a more alarming warning. He suggests that Army Chief Asim Munir could extend this strategy beyond Pakistan’s borders by ordering or facilitating terror strikes inside India. The logic, as Raja frames it, is brutally simple. A major attack in India would inevitably trigger retaliation, instantly heating up Pakistan’s eastern border. Combined with instability on the western front, this would give Rawalpindi a ready-made justification to disengage from any overseas military commitment, including the Gaza plan, while rallying domestic support through a familiar external enemy narrative.

Crucially, Raja argues that Munir faces resistance within his own ranks. There is, he claims, little appetite among Pakistani soldiers to fight Hamas or get entangled in a conflict far removed from Pakistan’s traditional theatres. Creating crises at home and with India would neatly solve that problem.

None of this constitutes proof. But intelligence analysis is built on patterns, not certainties. When a specific warning from Raja about a sudden surge in internal terror and unrest appears to materialise within days, it would be irresponsible to dismiss his subsequent alerts outright.

At the very least, Raja’s claims draw attention to a continuing risk. Pakistan’s military has a long history of using calibrated chaos, both internally and externally, as a strategic tool. Given recent developments, his warning about potential mischief against India is not something New Delhi can afford to ignore.

Another feather in @newslaundry’s cap

Delhi High Court today pulled up Newslaundry’s troll-journalist @MnshaP in open court, sayin she should be thrown out immediately for having no fundamentals of decency in reporting

Court warned that it may pass an order that could place her entire career in disarray

“She should be thrown out. She has no business being a reporter. She doesn’t know the basics. She doesn’t know the fundamentals of decency in reporting… We may pass an order which will place her entire career in disarray”: Court

Reminds me of the time when she labelled my relentless, evidence-based exposure of a twisted, agenda-driven ‘hate tracker’ as “harassment” - of the person running that propaganda tool!

Court has said out loud what we already know
