@FaithinRam @RahulGandhi Have you heard of making a deal? The U.S. DOJ itself indicted Adani and presented evidence. The case being dropped doesn’t prove Modi controls the U.S. or that Adani was innocent.

The biggest difference I've noticed since moving to London isn't just the infrastructure. It's how much the environment is valued.

If India is near the bottom in environmental protection, shouldn't we all be asking why?

Not to blame. To improve.

“Bahawalpur.”

I still have chills in my heart from when I first heard that town’s name in late January 2002. For the 23 years since, I have reported on how Pakistani intelligence and military leaders have used that city — Bahawalpur — in the southern province of Punjab as a base for its homegrown domestic terrorists.

When I heard India bombed training camps in Pakistan this week in Operation Sindoor, in response to a Pakistani terrorist rampage in India’s Kashmir state, I had one city’s name on my lips: Bahawalpur.

Did India bomb Bahawalpur?

It did. I knew then India was striking actual hubs for Pakistan’s homegrown domestic terrorism.

Why do I know?

My friend, WSJ reporter Danny Pearl, went to Bahawalpur in December 2001 with a notebook and a pen. Gen. Pervez Musharraf had just promised he was shutting down Pakistan’s militant groups after a strike by Pakistan’s terrorists against the Parliament in India, and Danny reported on the militant offices in Bahawalpur.

He literally knocked on their doors. Dear Dr. @yudapearl, this story is a window into Danny’s reporting enterprise. And because people will wonder: Danny was no cowboy. This was a calculated low-risk reporting trip because no journalist had been targeted for kidnapping in Pakistan. Around that time, Danny sent me an email: “I’m anxious to go to Afghanistan, but I’m not anxious to die.”

What did Danny learn?

The militant training camps were open for business in Bahawalpur.

On Jan. 23, 2002, Danny left a home I had rented in Karachi, Pakistan, for an interview.

I learned Danny’s fixer, Asif Farooqi, had arranged an interview for Danny through a man named “Arif.” Danny didn’t know it but Arif was the PR man for a militant group, Harkutul Mujahadeen. What was Arif’s hometown? Bahawalpur.

The police launched a manhunt to find Arif in Bahawalpur. We learned Arif’s family faked a funeral for Arif. Police found him trying to board a bus in Muzaffarabad, across the country by Pakistan’s border with Kashmir.

It is another town India said it bombed terrorist training facilities.

Arif had handed Danny off to Omar Sheikh,a British-Pakistani dropout from the London School of Economics, radicalized in the 1990s in London mosques. He went to Pakistan to train in these militant training camps. Then he kidnapped tourists in India. He was caught and jailed but on Dec. 31, 1999, he was traded for hostages in the hijacking of Indian Airlines Flight 814.

Omar Sheikh was freed with Pakistani terrorist leader Masood Azhar, whose family was allegedly killed this week by India’s air strike in Bahawalpur.

Did Pakistan jail Omar Sheikh and Masood Azhar when they returned to Pakistan with a third terrorist, freed from India’s jails?

No. Pakistan’s military and intelligence gave them safe passage. They used them as weapons against India. But in fact these domestic terrorists have waged war against innocents in Pakistan, like civil society activists, Benazir Bhutto, Punjab Governor Salman Taseer, schoolchildren and countless others.

Their extremism has ruined Pakistan, and Pakistanis can’t blame America for creating the mujahideen to fight the Soviets in the 1980s.

Pakistan has had a duty to dismantle those terrorist bases — for even the safety of its own people. What India is doing is a strategic attack on terrorist bases Pakistani military and intelligence should have eliminated but never did in their obsession to take over Kashmir.

You will see parallels in the propaganda messages against India and Israel. Like Hamas, Pakistani terrorists crossed a border to kill. Now, Pakistani propagandists call themselves victims of their “fascist” “colonizer” neighbor.

It’s the Reverse Uno strategy of moral inversion, just like @stoolpresidente got from the Temple student who won’t take responsibility for promoting the “HATE THE JEWS” sign. Don’t fall for it. Nations, communities and people must own up to their extremism, from Bahawalpur to beyond.

20th Day OF MY #CLIMATEFAST
3000 people fasting with me. But still not a word from the government.
Very unusual for a democracy... when 90% of the population have come out to remind the leaders of their promises and 100s have been on fast some for 20 days.
But we're very impressed by the public support nationwide... making up for the compromised mainstream media.

Here’s a quick first analysis of the Electoral Bonds data disclosure that the SBI put up last night, after weeks of attempting to postpone it until after the election:

•Over 1,300 companies and individuals have donated electoral bonds, including over 6,000 crores to the BJP since 2019

So far, the electoral bonds data exposes at least 4 corrupt tactics of the BJP:

1)Quid Pro Quo:

There are many cases of companies that have donated electoral bonds, and immediately afterwards gotten huge benefits from the government:

a.Megha Engineering & Infra has given over Rs. 800 crores in EBs. In April 2023, they donated Rs. 140 crores, and just one month later, they were awarded the Rs. 14,400 crore Thane-Borivali Twin Tunnel Project.

b.Jindal Steel & Power gave Rs. 25 crores in EBs on 7 October 2022, and just 3 days later, they won the Gare Palma IV/6 coal mine, on 10th October 2022.

2)Hafta Vasooli:

The BJP’s Hafta Vasooli strategy is simple – raid a target through the ED/CBI/IT, and then seek hafta (“donations”) for the company’s protection. At least 14 of the top 30 donors have been raided.

a.Earlier this year an investigation found that after ED/CBI/IT raids, companies were forced to donate to the BJP via electoral trusts. Many of the same companies have donated through EBs, like Hetero Pharma and Yashoda Hospital.

b.The IT department raided Shirdi Sai Electricals in December 2023, and in January 2024, they donated Rs. 40 crores through Electoral Bonds.

c.Future Gaming & Hotels, has donated over Rs. 1200 crore, making it the largest donor in the data so far. Here is the chronology:

2nd April 2022: ED raids Future, and 5 days later (7th April) they donate Rs. 100 crores in EBs

October 2023: IT department raids Future, and the same month they donate Rs. 65 crores in EBs

3)Kickbacks

A pattern emerges from the data, where immediately after receiving some handouts from the Central government, companies have repaid the favour through electoral bonds.

a.Vedanta got the Radhikapur West private coal mine on 3rd March 2021, and then in April 2021, they donated Rs. 25 crore in Electoral Bonds.

b.Megha Engineering & Infra got the Rs. 4,500 crore Zojila tunnel project in August 2020, then donated Rs. 20 crore in Electoral Bonds in October 2020.

c.Megha got the BKC bullet train station contract in December 2022, and donated Rs. 56 crore the same month.

4)Money Laundering Through Shell Companies

One huge issue with the electoral bonds scheme is that it removed the restriction that only a small percentage of a company’s profits could be donated, paving the way for shell companies to donate black money. There are many such suspicious cases, such as the Rs. 410 crore that has been donated by Qwik Supply Chain Limited, a company whose entire share capital is just Rs. 130 crores according to MoCA filings.

Another major issue is missing data

•The data provided by SBI only begins in April 2019, but SBI sold the first tranche of bonds in March 2018. A total of Rs. 2,500 crores in bonds are missing from this data. Where is the data of these missing bonds, from March 2018 to April 2019? For instance, in the very first tranche of bonds, the BJP bagged 95% of the funds. Who is the BJP trying to protect?

As the analysis of the electoral bonds data continues, many more such cases of the BJP’s corruption will become clear. We also continue to demand unique bond ID numbers, so that we can precisely match donors to recipients.

In 1946 Jewish zionist bombed the King David Hotel in Palestine killing 93

At the time it was the largest terror attack the world had seen

The reason for the bombing is Britain had obtained documents proving zionists were killing English soldiers and Palestinian children

The attack was planned by and executed by David-ben-Gurion who would become the first prime minister of Israel

RPF constable killed an ASI & 3 Muslims men in the compartment & says if you have to live in India then it has to be Modi & Yogi (statement unclear)!
Now people are in hurry to save him & save the embarrassment of communal killing & they are cooking stories that he is mentally imbalanced!

Nobody in CRPF identified he is sick ?

How come a mentally imbalanced man is speaking so calm after killing 4 people?

How come he used his service weapon without any issue?

How he only could identify Muslims with beard to kill?

How come after killing he was praising Modi & Yogi??

Whatever stories RW cook, fact is that the venom & hatred spread by these bigots have destroyed fabric of our great nation!

Hang our head in shame 😔
