PM Modi’s Remarks At G20 Summit In Bali: Calls For Ceasefire In Ukraine War, Emphasizes On Fertilizer Security

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 15 November 2022 attend the G20 Summit at Indonesia spoke of the challenges presented by climate change, the Covid pandemic, and the importance of India being energy secure.

He also called for a ceasefire and diplomacy in the Russia-Ukraine war.

Here is the full text of his remarks translated in English.

Namaskar!

I heartily congratulate President Joko Widodo for giving effective leadership to the G-20 in a challenging global environment. Climate change, the Covid pandemic, the developments in Ukraine, and the global problems associated with it. All these together have caused havoc in the world. Global supply chains are in ruins. There is a crisis of essentials, essential goods all over the world. The challenge for the poor citizens of every country is more severe. Everyday life was already a struggle for them. They do not have the financial capacity to deal with the double whammy. Due to the double whammy, they lack the financial capacity to handle it. We should also not hesitate to acknowledge that multilateral institutions such as the UN have been unsuccessful on these issues. And we have all failed to make suitable reforms in them. Therefore, today the world has greater expectations from the G-20, the relevance of our group has become more significant.

Excellencies

I have repeatedly said that we have to find a way to return to the path of ceasefire and diplomacy in Ukraine. Over the past century, the Second World War wreaked havoc in the world. After that, the leaders of that time made a serious effort to take the path of peace. Now it’s our turn. The onus of creating a new world order for the post-Covid period lies on our shoulders. The need of the hour is to show concrete and collective resolve to ensure peace, harmony and security in the world. I am confident that next year when the G20 meets in the holy land of Buddha and Gandhi, we will all agree to convey a strong message of peace to the world.

Excellencies,

During the pandemic, India ensured food security of its 1.3 billion citizens. At the same time, food grains were also supplied to many countries in need. The current shortage of fertilizers in terms of food security is also a huge crisis. Today’s fertilizer shortage is tomorrow’s food crisis, for which the world will not have a solution. We should build mutual agreement to maintain the supply chain of both manure and food grains stable and assured. In India, for sustainable food security, we are promoting natural farming, and re-popularising nutritious and traditional foodgrains like millets. Millets can also solve global malnutrition and hunger. We all must celebrate the International Year of Millets with great enthusiasm next year.

Excellencies,

India’s energy-security is also important for global growth, as it is the world’s fastest growing economy. We must not promote any restrictions on the supply of energy and stability in the energy market should be ensured. India is committed to clean energy and environment. By 2030, half of our electricity will be generated from renewable sources. Time-bound and affordable finance and sustainable supply of technology to developing countries is essential for inclusive energy transition.

Excellencies,

During India’s G-20 Presidency, we will work for global consensus on all these issues.

TNM’s Dhanya Rajendran Extracts Sympathy Bytes From Terrorist Convicted For Killing Ex-Indian PM

By
The Commune
-

The Supreme Court released the remaining six convicts in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case on Friday (11 November 2022), extending the benefit of its order that freed their co-convict AG Perarivalan saying, “the appellants are directed to be set at liberty if not required in any other matter”.

Hearing the convict’s petitions, a bench of Justices B R Gavai and B V Nagarathna noted that the applicants’ death sentences had previously been commuted to life sentences due to delays. “We order that all appellants’ sentences be deemed served.” “The applicants are thus ordered to be released unless otherwise required,” the bench said.

According to the investigation agencies, Nalini took Dhanu, the suicide bomber, to a shop to stitch the salwar kameez that was used to conceal the IED for the assassination. The attack also claimed the lives of fifteen other people, including nine police officers, and injured 43 others.

However, parties like DMK, VCK, MDMK, and NTK, as well as a few other news outlets have been trying hard to portray the Rajiv Gandhi assassins as innocents. Dhanya Rajendran, Editor-in-Chief of The News Minutes, did an interview with Rajiv Gandhi’s assassin Nalini, eulogizing her and extracting sympathy bytes.

The thumbnail of The News Minute interview with the now-released terror convict, carried the title “SC ended my suffering”. The video starts off with a clip of an emotionally overwhelmed Nalini coming out of jail.

“31 years in jail, Nalini Sriharan is finally a free woman”, Dhanya Rajendran starts off the interview.

Expressing her feelings after hearing the Supreme Court judgement, the convicted terrorist in the Rajiv Gandhi Assassination case who has now been released sid,”This was something I was expecting. If Arivu (Perarivalan – another assassin) could be released, I believe the Supreme Court will release us as well. Arivu was prosecuted under Central Acts, but I was only prosecuted under state laws: IPC sections 302 and 120b. I should have been released a long time ago.“

She continued, “Perumal (inferred to be a police officer), who used to assist me inside the prison, broke the news of my release. He demanded biriyani as a treat for informing me about the news of my release.”

Further, Dhanya as a matter-of-factly states “When you live in Tamil Nadu you see a lot of people reacting with joy, happiness, satsifaction, whatever it it is. But outside there are a lot of people who believe that this sends a wrong message. The Congress especially had a press meet yesterday.”

In response this Nalini stated,”They have their own opinion. We cannot expect everyone to love us or understand us. Opinions may differ.”

Nalini said to the families of the victims who died in the bomb blast along with Rajiv Gandhi, “The decision was made by the Supreme Court, and no one can question it. The Supreme Court is more familiar with the case than the victims’ families. Will the dead people come to life if we stay in jail indefinitely? If so, I will definitely go to jail again.”

Nalini then continued,”We were happy when Justice Sathaasivam’s judgement came. Late Chief Minister J Jayalalitha did her best to get us out, but she could not do it. Then Chief Minister Edappadi Palaniswami did everything correct to get us out, but it did not materialize as it is a lengthy process.”

Dhanya Rajendran who can be seen with a toothy smile all through the interview, further attempted to trivialize the bomb blast by asking Nalini about ‘her struggles’ in jail. She asked Nalini if she had become acquainted, like Arivu, with the nitty-gritty of filing petitions in court. She went on to ask about her daughter’s reaction to the verdict, how the degree she pursued while in jail helped her, her record of being in jail for three decades, her difficulties during her pregnancy in jail, and other questions that whitewashes her image as a bomb blast convict.

Dhanya further asked “I’ve always felt that Megara perhaps suffered the most, your daughter. Do you feel so?” to which Nalini replied “Yea, I also feel the same way and she also feels the same way.. We are matured. We can endure all these things. She (her daughter) was young. She didn’t get whatever a young baby deserves. So, what you say is correct. She was the most unfortunate baby.”

Nalini further added,”I faced numerous challenges both before and after my pregnancy. Nobody assisted me. It was extremely difficult to care for my daughter while she was in jail with me. Now I wanted to live my life for my family, who had lost everything as a result of my actions.”

She further said,”Governor RN Ravi previously worked as a police officer. How can I expect him to sign my mercy petition when many police officers were killed in the case to which I am related? He must be extremely intelligent in order to lead our Intelligence for ten years. I am not going to say anything against him.”

Aftab Butchers Shraddha Into 35 Pieces After She Asks For Marriage, ToI & NDTV Secularise Coverage To Hide Identity Of Perpetrator

By
The Commune
-

A blood-curdling crime has been solved by the Delhi Police where a man named Aftab was arrested for slaughtering a woman named Shraddha who is believed to have been his live-in partner.

According to reports, Aftab Ameen Poonawalla and Shraddha were living in Delhi’s Mehrauli area. Both of them worked together at a call centre in Mumbai. He got to her thorugh a dating app. The two started dating and moved in to live together. Since Shraddha’s family did not approve of the relationship, the couple eloped to Delhi.

Aftab strangled the 26-year-old Sharddha on 18 May 2022, following a heated argument as she had asked him to marry her. He then dismembered her body with a sharp weapon into 35 pieces and bought a fridge to store them. He then threw the butchered body parts at 18 different locations in Delhi over the next 18 days. To avoid being caught, he reportedly left the house in the wee hours carrying 1-2 body parts in a plastic bag.

Since there was neither any communication from Shraddha nor updates on her social media accounts, her concerned father came to Delhi to check her flat which was found locked. He then filed a missing person complaint with the Mumbai police and also told them about his daughter’s relationship with Aftab whom he suspected to be behind her disappearance. Her last location was found to be in Delhi.

In a statement, the Delhi police said that the Mehrauli Police has solved the six-month-old case and arrested Aftab for killing  Shraddha, chopping her into pieces and disposing them.

Ironically, Aftab on his social media had shared posts positioning him as a champion of women and gay rights.

The news of this incident has sent shockwaves across the nation. However, a few leftist media outlets have been trying to secularize the incident to hide the identity of the perpetrator.

Times of India which had initially publised a report with the title “Delhi’s interfaith love: Shraddha’s body cut into piece by Aftab“. However, it was subsequently changed to “Man chops live-in partner into 35 pieces, dumps them in Delhi forest“.

Another leftist mainstream news outlet NDTV carried a headline “Man Killed Partner In Delhi, Dumped Body Pieces At 2 am For 18 Days: Cops“.

India Today identified the perpetrator as “Indian predator”.

Intersex Activist And NCTP South Rep Attacked By Unidentified Persons

By
The Commune
-

In a shocking incident, Gopi Shankar Madurai, an intersex activist and the south representative of National Council for Transger Persons, was brutally attacked by unidentified persons in New Delhi on 12 November 2022.

According to reports, the incident happened on the night of 12th November when Gopi was taking a stroll in Karol Bagh after dinner.

He was reportedly surrounded by 6-7 people who had asked him for money. When he refused, they abused him and physically assaulted him, a Delhi Police officer was quoted saying in a report.

Gopi has severe injuries on his eyes, face and hands. He has been hospitalized and had undergone 2 minor surgies, according to sources close to him.

A case under Sections 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 341 (punishment for wrongful restraint) and 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention) of IPC has been registered.

Intersex, a regional network of intersex activists and organization issued a statement condemning the violence meted out against Gopi.

“We strongly condemn the brutal attack inflicted on them by six unidentified men in Delhi. An attack of this nature against a prominent activist in the capital city is likely to have a chilling effect on future activism in the country. We are deeply concerned about the safety and security of intersex activists in India.”, the statement read.

“Gopi Shankar has been threatened by physical violence and attacked several times since 2021 and has even previously asked for intervention from the central government. This was the fifth instance of violence against them. The first four instances took place in the state of Tamil Nadu. India has witnessed several major progressive reforms recognizing the rights of people with diverse SOGIESC identities, including the intersex community. It is profoundly worrying that attacks against intersex activists continue even after law enforcement agencies have been put on notice.”, the statement said.

The organization has demanded a speedy investigation and has urged the National Commission for Human Rights to look into the matter.

“Will Fix Ideology”: Hyderabad Law School Student Assaulted And Forced To Chant “Allah Hu Akbar”, Case Filed

By
The Commune
-

A shocking incident has come to light where a student of the ICFAI Law School in Hyderabad was reportedly ragged, assaulted, lynched and forced to chant ‘Allah Hu Akbar’ (Allah is the greatest) by his Muslim seniors.

A video of the incident has gone viral on social media in which a group of students can be seen beating up and threatening the victim inside a hostel room.

The students can be heard saying “will fix his ideology, beat him to coma,” in the video.

In the complaint filed by the victim Himank Bansal, he said that around 15-20 persons barged into his hostel room at 3:30 PM on 1 November 2022 and ganged up on him.

He mentioned that they kicked his testicles, himiliated him and threatened to beat him to death if he didn’t take his trousers off. He added that he has noticeable bruises under his right eye and a swollen skull. The perpetrators apparently asked him to take a story of him severely hurt and upload it as a Snapchat story.

They had threatened him with death if he reported to the college authorities about the incident.

Bansal mentioned in his complaint that they attacked him as he had mistakenly referred to Prophet Mohammad as a ‘paedophile’ to another friend.

According to Bansal, one of his friends from 1st year BA-LLB named Dipasha Sharma had allegedly called him a paedophile for being friends with a girl 3 and a half years younger than him. Bansal claimed to have defended his friendship saying that he was not seeking any sexual relations whi her for and further cited references from Islamic scriptures to explain how he is not wrong. The entire conversation according to Bansal had happened in Instagram messenger. Dipasha Sharma had allegedly shared screenshots of this conversation which led to the gang barging into his room and beating him.

“I did not realise that my statements about her amounted to disrespect because Islamic scholars like Zakir Naik have acknowledged this reality by citing an authentic hadith.”, he said.

He also noted that the perpetrators invaded his privacy and read through his other chats on WhatsApp without his consent.

“My family have same religious sentiment, so we had some chats where someone asked us to only buy goods from Hindu vendors and not from Muslim vendors. We also had some other pro-Hindu chats there.”, he had noted in his complaint.

He said that he had to make up a story that those chats were made by his cousin and not him but admitted in the complaint that it was him who made those chats around a year back and doesn’t hold those views now.

Bansal also explained in graphic detail how each of the person allegedly assaulted him.

Video and photographic evidence of the assault has also been submitted to the police along with the complaint by Bansal. However, it is being reported that the incident is being trivialized as a senior-junior faceoff by a certain group.

The Cyberabad Police have registed a case against the accused under the Sections 307 (attempt to murder), 342 (wrongful containment), 450 (house-trespass in order to commit offence punishable with imprisonment for life), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 506 (criminal intimidation), R/W 149 of the Indian Penal Code and Sec 4(I), (II), and (III) of the Prohibition of Ragging Act 2011.

Dravidian Stockists Amplify Half-Truths Peddled By One India Tamil About YouTuber In Siruvachur Temple Crowd Funding Case

By
The Commune
-

YouTuber Karthik Gopinath has approached the Madras High Court seeking direction to the Hindu Religious Charitable and Endowments department (HR&CE) to transfer ₹30.77 lakh he raised through crowdfunding to restore damaged idols at the Periyasamy Hills Temple in Siruvachur, Perambalur district.

The case was heard by Justice P.D. Audikesavalu. Advocate General R. Shunmugasundaram and Advocate V. Raghavachari appeared on behalf of the HR&CE and petitioner respectively. Petitioner Karthik Gopinath stated in his affidavit that he is a social media influencer and he learned last year that miscreants had damaged the idols of the Periyasamy Hills temple as well as a private temple in Siruvachur.

He also stated that on October 10, 2021, he posted a video on his YouTube channel about restoring the idols and raised funds through the crowdfunding platform Milaap. He posted another video on October 14 asking donors to stop sending money because the required amount was collected in three days. However, some of the donors contributed to his personal account.

Although he was prepared to transfer the entire ₹30.77 lakh, including the money collected in his personal account, for the renovation of the temple, police arrested him on May 30 after filing a criminal complaint against him based on a complaint made by the Executive Officer of Mathurakaliamman Temple in Siruvachur.

Therefore the petitioner has now moved the Madras High Court seeking direction to the HR&CE to transfer the amount collected by him for the restoration of the damaged idol.

However, the news was misreported in certain news websites like One India Tamil, which said that Karthik Gopinath has ‘accepted’ to give the money ‘defrauded in the name of the temple’.

“Fraud in the name of temple.. Has accepted to give ₹30.77 lakh! BJP supporter Karthik Gopinath petitions High Court”, read the headline of Oneindia Tamil written by one Noorul ibn Jahaber Ali, a former Sub Editor with Sun News (DMK owned channel).

https://twitter.com/thatsTamil/status/1591323301028061184?s=20&t=cNWpyUcjRHsONyD3XM-ujg

Karthik Gopinath has posted a video on his YouTube channel Ilaya Bharatham in response to the misreporting. He said,”The issue has become sensationalized even inside the court. Normally, the Advocate General will not appear for a writ petition in the admission stage. However, in my case, the Advocate General appeared in the first sitting to oppose the plea.”

He further said, “RSB media like OneIndiaTamil has been spreading fake news regarding the case. In the same way that Annamalai refers to Murasoli as toilet paper, I refer to OneIndiaTamil as a toilet news website.”

He continued, “It was me who requested the court to direct the HR&CE to accept the money I collected. But OneIndiaTamil was reporting as if I agreed to transfer money because of someone’s order. I was ready to transfer the funds from day one. However, HR&CE refused to accept the money in order to keep the FIR alive.”

Many members of the ruling DMK resorted to peddling half-truths about the case.

DMK IT Wing Deputy Secretary Isai amplified the half-truths calling the YouTuber names.

“All the people hanging out with Annamalai (BJP Tamil Nadu President) turn out to be filtered fraud, scoundrel, thiefs and rapists. That too this Karthik Gopinath is a mega fraud”, the DMK IT Wing Deputy Secretary said.

Quoting the fake news spread by OneIndiaTamil, a Dravidian Stockist, SKP Karuna who is the Chairman of SKP Engineering College in Thiruvannamalai, said,” Does stealing become non-criminal if the stolen money is returned?”

Karthik Gopinath responded strongly to SKP Karuna, saying that he should speak only after learning about the case and that it was he who asked the court to order the HR&CE to take money from him because they had not been taking it for a long time in order to paint him in a bad light.

Meanwhile, other social media users began digging into SKP Karuna’s details, which revealed that the SKP College to which he is related has Telugu minority status, despite the fact that SKP Karuna stated in his bio that he has an unquenchable thirst and love for Tamil literature.

About Siruvachur Temple Case

Karthik Gopinath, a prominent Tamil YouTuber, was arrested over the issue of raising money for temples at Siruvachur in Perambalur district where idols were vandalized in the months of October and November 2021. He was charged with sections 420 and 409 of the India Penal Code.

It was reported that Karthik Gopinath had collected funds through fund-raising app Milaap to renovate the desecrated temples at Siruvachur. There has been debate over his collection of money as the HR&CE rules does not permit individuals or organizations to solicit donations for temples under HR&CE control.

DMK And Its Allies Welcome Release Of Assassins of Rajiv Gandhi And 15 Other Tamils

By
The Commune
-

The Supreme Court released the remaining six convicts in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case on Friday, extending the benefit of its order that freed their co-convict A G Perarivalan saying, “the appellants are directed to be set at liberty if not required in any other matter”.

Hearing the convict’s petitions, a bench of Justices B R Gavai and B V Nagarathna noted that the applicants’ death sentences had previously been commuted to life sentences due to delays. “We order that all appellants’ sentences be deemed served.” “The applicants are thus ordered to be released unless otherwise required,” the bench said.

On May 18, the Supreme Court issued an order for Perarivalan’s release under Article 142 of the Constitution. On Friday, the bench stated that the same order would apply to the six other defendants.

The bench noted that the six had spent over three decades in prison in the case and said that their behavior had been satisfactory during this time, during which they had also pursued studies. The court considered Nalini’s gender when making its decision.

According to the investigation agencies, Nalini took Dhanu, the suicide bomber, to a shop to stitch the salwar kameez that was used to conceal the IED for the assassination. The attack also claimed the lives of fifteen other people, including nine police officers, and injured 43 others.

However, some Dravidian Stockists, VCK cadres, and Naam Tamilar Katchi cadres celebrated the release of the Rajiv Gandhi assassins, giving the impression that they were innocent.

In a video, DMK spokesperson Rajiv Gandhi stated, “Even before being elected, the DMK promised to take all necessary steps to free the Rajiv Gandhi case convicts. Today is the day we fulfilled our promise. The DMK government vigorously supported and argued in favor of Perarivalan in the Supreme Court, laying the groundwork for the release of six other convicts today. The DMK government’s No-Objection-Certificate (NOC) is the only reason that has made the release of the convicts possible.”

VCK chief Thirumavalavan said that he welcomes the Supreme Court Judgement despite the delay and that it is a victory to the protest of the entire Tamil community.

Tamimun Ansari, former MLA and general secretary of Manithaneya Jananaayaga Katchi, expressed his delight at the Supreme Court’s decision to release the six Rajiv Gandhi case convicts.

K. Balakrishnan, State Secretary of the Marxist Communist Party, said, “We welcome the Supreme Court’s decision to release six people who had been imprisoned for a long time. The Supreme Court has given a proper lesson to the functioning of the Governor and the Central Government by affirming the rights of the state government.”

Mutharasan, CPI State Secretary: The governor and the central government failed to take appropriate action on the files pertaining to the release of seven Rajiv Gandhi case convicts and failed to release them on time. We applaud the Supreme Court’s acquittal of six people in the ensuing legal battle.

MDMK General Secretary Vaiko: Both the previous and current governors were delaying action on the files concerning the release of seven convicts in the Rajiv Gandhi case. It is happy that the Supreme Court has put an end to this and ordered the release of six convicts.

Fringe groups in Tamil Nadu, like Naam Tamilar, have welcomed the judgement and were burning crackers while celebrating the Rajiv Gandhi assassin’s release. It should be noted that the NTK party’s co-ordinator Seeman claimed during a public meeting that they were responsible for the murder of Rajiv Gandhi.

However, Congress, a DMK ally, has condemned the release of the Rajiv assassins, saying that the murderers should not be celebrated. Tamil Nadu Congress Committee President KS Alagiri expressed sadness at a society that allows murderers to roam freely. “Fortunately, the court did not rule that they were innocent,” he said. Alagiri went on to say that the families of those who died alongside Rajiv Gandhi are heartbroken. Tamil Maanila Congress chief GK Vasan said the Supreme Court order surprised the public and shocked the families of those who got killed in the blast.

In a press release, Tamil Nadu BJP President Annamalai stated that although the party accepts the Supreme Court decision, the murderers should not be celebrated. “But it must be clarified that the released convicts are not acquitted of their crimes,” he said in a statement.

Dravidian Stockists Harass Muslim Woman BJP Member In TN

By
The Commune
-

The DMK IT wing and some mainstream media outlets have been circulating an old misconstrued video of a Tamil Nadu BJP Muslim women member Alisha Abdulla, with some Dravidian Stockists making below-the-belt remarks.

In an interview to a YouTube channel two months ago, Alisha Abdulla stated that if a woman knows Hindi, she can escape rapists in North Indian cities like Delhi. After two months, the statement that was not a talking point when the interview was given has now become a soundbite.

Sun News published a news card in which she was quoted as saying that in cities like Delhi or Hyderabad if a girl knows Hindi, she can scold the harasser with bad words and escape.

However, Alisha refuted Sun News saying that it is a shame for a leading news channel to publish a false translation and misleading information. She added,”language gives you the confidence in such circumstances is all I meant and not to use foul words! This is demeaning & defaming ”

U2Brutus, a Dravidian Stockist YouTube channel known for abusing Hindu gods and the Hindu faith, had released a derogatory video with sexist remarks titled “Lovely kisses to 5 sense Alisha from U2Brutus,” in which he describes her as a senseless, stupid, empty-headed, and idiotic person.

In response to the video, Alisha stated on Twitter that it is not surprising to be demeaned by someone who insulted Lord Natarajar and that it is only a matter of time before he pays for his deeds.

U2 Brutus ‘Minor’ Vijay had earlier made disparaging remarks on Lord Shiva and Goddess Kaali in a video titled “This is the reason why Nataraja stands with his leg lifted”. He has also slandered Hindus and the Hindu faith in a video titled “Pornography in Vedas”

In an attempt to mock Alisha’s religion, U2Brutus said “Allah Hu Akbarka” instead of “Allah Hu Akbar.”

Alisha responded strongly, stating that she cannot stoop to his (U2Brutus) level, citing how he sent flying kisses in his video and then spewed hatred against a religion. She added that she is open to criticism but not to below-the-belt remarks.

https://twitter.com/alishaabdullah/status/1590611822251737088?s=20&t=1U5WKJ217X-Q-h_wLqEQMw

Speaking to The Commune, Alisha said that she has been facing targeted attacks for a harmless comment that she made. She clarified that all she meant to say was knowing Hindi would help one survive in any part of India.

“All that I wanted to say was knowing Hindi is a an additional skill that can help one survive in any part of India. It adds value to one’s resume. I am at fault though. I couldn’t articulate it properly as my Tamil speaking skills are not that great.”, she said.

She also said that taking her old interviews and sharring snippets of it to target her is a motivated attempt to tarnish her image as she is working to conduct free medical camps. She said that her party BJP has been of support.

On the derogatory video published by U2 Brutus ‘Minor’ Vijay, she said “It is disgusting. That man needs medical help as he seems very insecure. There are very few women politicians in India and such attacks discourage women from entering politics. I didn’t make any comment offending anyone. I just shared my views.”, she said.
