Harinder Sikka on the invasion of Halal in every industry.
1. The halal system is transferring thousands of crores of rupees to Sunni clerics.
2. Because halal mandates that everyone from the peon to the MD should be a Muslim, lakhs of Hindus have left the meat industry.
3. More than 30,000 Valmiki community members have converted to Islam.
4. Halal is creeping into every industry. Products like diapers and mineral water are being halal certified.
5. You have to decide if you want to be a part of this elaborate fraud. Before you buy a product, ask if it's halal. Do not be led by your tastebuds. Let Dharma guide you.
The so-called secular stripe is upset that there isn’t a “single Muslim” in the NDA 3.0 cabinet. This they say is a deliberate attempt at making Muslims “invisible”. While it is true that there are no Muslims in the NDA 3.0 cabinet, here are some hard facts that underline why it is facetious to attribute communal motives to the absence of Muslims in the NDA 3.0 cabinet.
HARD FACT: In 2019, a total of 115 Muslim got tickets from parties across the political spectrum. This time, only 78 tickets were given to Muslims by all contesting political parties. That’s a sharp fall of 32%. The SP that attacks the BJP for not giving tickets only set aside 4 tickets for Muslims, preferring to give a bulk to OBCS.
Question: Are all parties that decided to cut down their seat allocations for Muslims also doing so because they are slowly becoming exclusivists?
HARD FACT: In 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP gave Muslims 4 and 6 tickets respectively in constituencies where they make up more than 50% of the population. In the last U.P municipal polls, it handed a shade under 400 tickets to Muslims.
Takeaway: BJP is clearly reaching out to Muslims. Will the BJP’s rivals concede that this disproves their claim that the BJP is exclusivist?
HARD FACT: In 2024, in constituencies where Muslims make up more than 50% of the population, the BJP gave a ticket to only one Muslim. But it supported allies who gave tickets to Muslims in 6 Muslim majority constituencies. Except in one constituency, all the 6 remaining candidates lost.
Takeaway: Muslims have decided to vote on communal lines.
HARD FACT: Nothing exemplifies this communal voting pattern more than the example of Baharampur. Here, multi-term sitting Cong MP Adhir Ranjan Choudhary lost to TMC’s Yusuf Pathan.
Takeaway: Both parties define themselves as secular, but in this Muslim majority constituency religion of one candidate tipped the balance.
+HARD FACT: The trend of Muslims voting along communal lines was first noticed when 77 percent of the Muslims voted for the mahagathbandhan in the 2020 Bihar election. A year later, 75 percent of Muslims voted for the Trinamool Congress (TMC) in the 2021 Bengal election. In 2022, a whopping 79 percent of the community voted for the SP in the 2022 UP election.
Takeaway: If Hindus voted en bloc, they would be called exclusivists. At least that’s what Christians voting en bloc in some right leaning European countries are being called. But has anyone used the same label to describe Muslims voting tactically in India? No.
HARD FACT: In 2014, Najma Heptulla was made Minority Affairs Minister in Modi’s cabinet. In 2019, MA Naqvi was given charge of the Minority Affairs Ministry.
Takeaway: The appointments of Heptulla or Naqvi did little to stop the Opposition from accusing Modi of being a religious exclusivist. So even if a Muslim had been given a ticket this time round it wouldn't have stopped the BJP's rivals from accusing it of communalism.
The NDA governments of Narendra Modi have, till now, never discriminated between Hindus and Muslims while disbursing state’s resources.
HARD FACT: Electricity access: Most improvement among the poorest 20% of Muslim homes at 71%
HARD FACT: Bank account access: 74% (2015-16) to 93% (2019-21) with largest gain among Muslims
HARD FACT: Mobile phone access: 37% & 33% in Muslim & Hindu+Muslim clusters respectively
HARD FACT: Toilet facilities: Crossed 50% target for Sikh & Muslim households
HARD FACT: Water access: 63% (2015-16) to 68% (2019-21) for Muslim households
HARD FACT: Scholarships: 7% rise in grants to minorities between 2014 and 2019
@ShivAroor Please ask the Pune CP when the alcohol test was conducted.
He keeps giving lame statements after being pulled up by DF. Which police officers have been suspended?
Why is he keen to go back to Juvenile court? Why not the HC? Have they confiscated passports?

ICYMI: The West must do better in its coverage of India’s vibrant democracy, says @CJBdingo25
Western media often falls short of accurately capturing India in all its vibrancy.
I argue in @Daily_Express that we are all being short changed.
MY TAKE ON WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED AT ARVIND KEJRIWAL'S HOUSE ON 13 MAY, 2024
Proximity of #SwatiMaliwal to Arvind Kejriwal isn't hidden from anyone. There are a lot of stories but I don't want to go there. I'll say they're really great friends.
So as soon as Kejriwal came out of Jail, Ms. Maliwal must have been excited to meet him and hence landed up at his residence early in the morning without an appointment. Good friends don't really care about protocols
But what she didn't realise is that a lot must have changed in the power equations while he was behind bars and her proximity may be a sour in the eyes of many. So while she may have wanted to greet him like always, his surroundings didn't want to greet her back in the same way
She must have been pissed by that and started creating a scene over the same. Bibhav Kumar would have been called to explain that she can't meet him like that now which would have infuriated her more. I really don't know why Kejriwal didn't intervene by now. She could have just called him.
But nonetheless, it's quite clear in the video that entire staff is pleading her to go outside while she sits there in her anger, challenging to see them all and threatening to eat their jobs. Please also mind - she's actually daring them to carry her and throw her out if they can. Any person who has just been assaulted so bad and is supposedly in a shocked state doesn't talk like that! She claims she cried after reaching police station. Normally people cry soon after the assault which she clearly wasn't in the video.
After the incident, it actually was only an EGO tussle now
How could Kejriwal let this happen with a friend and a senior party member!!!
That he didn't speak at all against Bibhav infuriated her more but then a press conference was done to calm her down where Sanjay Singh said action will be taken. She then tweeted calling elections more important.
Poor fella. She got a shock then when Kejriwal completely dismissed the episode in a PC with Akhilesh
Ego hurt second time.
So now she decided to file an FIR and get medical test done after 4 days.
If this case goes to trial, just see what all explanations Swati Maliwal will have to give for this delay to the court being a lawmaker herself
But I am sure this will be settled much before that
I honestly don't see any role of BJP in this fiasco. AAP is only saying that because they can't become laughing stock over their own members fighting like pigs in public.
BJP supporters are obviously stoking the fire more taking advantage of the old adage
DIVIDE AND WIN 😄 😄 😄 😄
My hands are trembling as I write this!
Yogesh was alive until yesterday
BUT TODAY HE'S DEAD WHILE BEING IN CUSTODY OF THOSE WHO ARE SUPPOSEDLY ARE PROTECTORS!!!
ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIC CASE OF DEATH INSIDE POLICE CUSTODY THAT TOO ILLEGAL !!!
My team spoke to Jeetender, brother of Yogesh. Here's what he said :
Yogesh was picked up by @noidapolice last night over a complaint by women who were his co-workers at a Bakery. He & his colleague had a fight with these women about a month back.
Last night, these 2 women were sitting in the chowki & in front of the police, they told Jeetender that they will get his brother killed
Police kept threatening them of an FIR under IPC 376, charges of Rape lest he pays 5 Lacs
Jeetender kept pleading that he doesn't have that kind of money but it didn't matter to the cops
Eventually he was allowed to meet his brother after paying 53,000 to the cops after which he left
In morning he kept sitting from 6am to 10am but wasn't allowed to meet Yogesh
In the afternoon, Yogesh's dead body was taken out in front of him from chowki & taken to a hospital which he didn't even know about
He was told later "mar Gaya Tera Bhai le ja" by a cop
PLEASE KNOW THAT NO FIR WAS FILED FOR WHICH THEY ARRESTED YOGESH
I beg to ask you @myogiadityanath@myogioffice who is responsible for this death and what action will be taken against these women and the cops ?
You are doing everything to protect women from rapists & bulldoze their home, who will protect men from these extortions in the name of a rape case where open loot is happening across your state right inside police stations ?
Pleading you @dgpup@GSOtoDGPUP to order a high level enquiry into this murder 🙏
Afzalpur is a town in Karnataka. It is named after Afzal Khan.
The same Adilshahi general Afzal Khan who had destroyed hundreds of temples including Tulja Bhavani and Pandharpur. Who proudly assumed the title Qatil-i Mutamarridan-o-Kafiran (KiIIer of Kafir Hindus and rebels). Who tried to kiII Shivaji Maharaj. But Shivaji Maharaj ultimately bested and slayed this tεrrorist.
RT if you want Afzalpur renamed to Shivajipur.
Prime minister Modi says he doesn’t do Hindu Muslim. Well, that's my grouse with him. He should do Hindu Muslim. It is because he doesn’t, that Hindus are ignorant of reality, are actively discriminated against, are guilt-tripped into becoming eighth-class citizens.
My views:
You've watched the BBC bakwas, read the Guardian guff & seen the New York Times hitjobs bashing India.
Now read the TRUTH about the world's greatest democracy and the £11billion, billion-ballot election!

@nilanjanaroy@sreemoytalukdar Nice to entertain grand thoughts such as "PM is first among equals".
If you go to meet Pappu, you will get dog biscuits - that is how equal he will think you are. He has already fed it to many Congressis.
Recently, Dhruv Rathee @dhruv_rathee has published a video titled 'Aurangzeb and Modi'.
The entire video is full of factual blunders, false equivalences and downright fraudulent claims. Its purpose is Hindu holocaust denial.
The following is the gist of his video :
1) Shivaji Maharaj was 'Secular' like Congress. He worshiped Sufis and had Muslims in his army.
2) Modi=Aurangzeb.
3) Aurangzeb did not have any religious fanaticism, but simply used religion for his purpose.
4) There was no Hindu Muslim conflict in India before the advent of Hindutva, BJP, Godi Media and 'whatsapp university'.
5) Hindus were never oppressed by Muslims. Hindus were never enslaved by Muslims. Hindus and Muslims lived together in perfect harmony until the advent of Hindutva, BJP, Godi Media and 'Whatsapp university'.

The 2024 Lok Sabha election has shown how India conducts free & fair elections with 969 million eligible voters. Unlike Western democracies votes are counted electronically & declared the same day with 0.001% errors
Democratic Deficit or Dividend?
My @Openthemag column
@nramind Pathetic attempt by @nramind and gang to conjure up a sense of parity between Pappu and the PM.
Are they on the same level in terms of achievement, experience, political maturity, intellectual ability, etc etc?
@abhijitmajumder@adharit@EvaVlaar The thing is that @EvaVlaar still gets it wrong. She is still afraid to say it is a problem with one religion as the data shows. She is ok with being labelled an anti-migrant racist but not an Islamophobic.
She conflates race and religion.
There was a lot more to #HemantKarkare than met the eye. In his statement before an #NIA court, #Malegaon blast accused Col Purohit slams Karkare & other ATS officers for fabricating evidence in 2008 to implicate “saffron terrorism” during UPA1.
