Student writes to Congress MPs about wrongdoings happening in college run by KS Alagiri

A student from Ramanathapuram district has written to Congress MPs to complain about the atrocities happening in the college run by Tamil Nadu Congress Committee President KS Alagiri.

Hariharasuthan, son of Arumugam from Ramanathapuram district, had enrolled in a six-month diploma programme at the Perunthalaivar Kamarajar Institute of Maritime Science And Engineering (PKIMSE) in Chidambaram, Cuddalore District, which is owned by KS Alagiri.

In his letter addressed to the Congress MPs P.Chidambaram, Karthi Chidambaram, Thirunavukkarasu, Manickam Tagore, Jothimani and others he said, “My parents, who work for a daily wage, struggled for a long time to enrol me in K.S. Alagiri’s College. Since the college lacked adequate facilities, the Directorate of Shipping in Mumbai issued a notice and revoked its licence. Even after license getting revoked, the college collected fees from us and issued invalid certificates.”

When the case was taken to court, the Judge ordered the college to refund 50% of the tuition fee paid by the students, which the management did not honour, the student added.

“If the 50% tuition fees are returned to me immediately, it would be useful in providing for the expenses of my cancer-stricken father,”  Ariharasuthan said in his letter.

He ended by urging congress members to take the matter to Rahul Gandhi and ensure that he receives justice.

As the number of Wuhan Virus cases rises in Karnataka, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has cleaned the premises of BGML Hospital at Kolara, Karnataka and are very close to operationalizing the hospital as Covid Care Centre that had been closed for the past 20 years.

The BGML hospital is a 140 years old 800 bed hospital that was established by the British and has been left in a dilapidated stage for over 20 years and now it has been refurbished as a Covid care centre.

Leading the initiative was the RSS Swayamsevak supported by the Bhartia Janata Party (BJP) Member of Parliament from Kolar, Sadappa Muniswamy.

Hundreds of BJP and RSS Swayamsevaks have been working nonstop for the past 15 days to get this defunct hospital ready and have so far removed over 400 tractor load of dirt from the premises.

Many of the volunteers with the background as electricians and mason are working round the clock to get this hospital up to standard and it will be ready in the coming week.

Fascism in TN: Senior DMK leader threatens to ‘whack’ journalists who criticize party or Stalin government

Senior DMK leader Constantine Raveendran in an interview has said that journalists who criticize the party or its government would be ‘whacked’ and that they cannot claim freedom of expression in such cases.

In an interview to a YouTube channel, Constantine Raveendran said “We will accept those criticism that are true and justified and the DMK government is ready to correct itself in such cases. The government headed by MK Stalin is very patient and honest. Like him, we are also patient. But if you take our patience for granted, and speak or write whatever you feel like and claim it as ‘freedom of speech and expression’, then ‘whacking’ them is necessary in such cases (shows hand gestures that implies cutting off). They will be whacked for sure. There are no second thoughts about that.”

“For some, they need to be whacked in the tongue and they will be whacked in the tongue. For some their pen tends to go in a different direction while writing about the DMK. Their hands will also be whacked for sure.”, the DMK leader said.

He said that there is a gang that says/publishes anything without proof with the motive of defaming the government or the Chief Minister.

“For them, they would be whacked in their tongues and hands. It won’t be an act against freedom of speech and expression. It is to ensure that they write and say whatever is justified.” Constantine categorically said.

Apparently, this video was shared by the DMK leader himself in a WhatsApp group comprising of reporters of which he is a part of. Many in that group had objected to Constantine’s threats saying that such statements are not befitting of the party and the leader especially at a time like this.

Later he had clarified in the WhatsaApp group saying that it was meant for those criticizing the party on social media and not journalists requesting them to not take it in a wrong way.

UK based ‘Hindu On Campus’ demand removal of Hinduphobic faculty Abhijit Sarkar from Oxford

By
The Commune
-

After Rashmi Samant who became the first Indian to have been elected the president of Oxford student union was bullied out by left-liberal students and supported by Hinduphobic faculty, the ‘Hindu On Campus’ collective have sought the removal of Abhijit Sarkar who had made derogatory remarks,. 

Hindu On Campus, a student-led movement for “creating a safe space for diaspora Hindus to share their experiences with Anti-Hindu bigotry and standing together against racism” released a video from its official Twitter handle.

In that video, two Hindu British students made a passionate appeal against the bigoted statements put out by Sarkar. According to them, Sarkar has compromised a safe space for Hindu students on Oxford university campuses and has failed to upheld the values of this prestigious college by making such statements.

Dr Abhijit Sarkar is an Indian origin history lecturer at the Oxford University and spearheaded the Hinduphobic campaign against Rashmi Samant, who on her own ability, character, and academic excellence became the first Indian to have been elected the president of Oxford student union.

However, a few days after her historic victory, a hate campaign was launched against Samant online and the abuse resulted in the resignation of Samant from the Student’s Union and eventually, she had to return to India abandoning her studies at Oxford as the trauma of being bullied was too much for her and was hospitalised due to stress.

Sarkar, a known Hinduphobe led a smear campaign against Sawant with his dehumanising comments. He even proudly boasted of having broken Saraswati idols and has been accused of inciting religious hatred and harassment of Samant.

Doctor shares heartbreaking visuals of son singing on videocall to his dying mom in corona ICU ward

The Coronavirus pandemic has increased the number of people who have lost loved ones such as family, relatives and friends. The worst part of this coronavirus disease is that loved ones are in a situation where they are unable to give the victims love, support and courage from the sidelines, even if they are on the verge of death.

On top of that, doctors and nurses have been stretched and are working in a stressful environment on a daily basis.

In light of this, a doctor has shared on Twitter the heart-wrenching tragedy of her experience of working in the Corona ward. Dipshika Ghosh, a doctor working in the emergency department, made a video call from her mobile to the son of a dying patient in the ICU.

Dr Dipshika Ghosh shared in a Twitter thread that said, “Today, towards the end of my shift, I video called the relatives of a patient who is not going to make it. We usually do that in my hospital if it’s something they want. This patient’s son asked for a few minutes of my time. He then sang a song for his dying mother. He sang Tera Mujhse Hai Pehle Ka Nata Koi. I just stood there holding the phone, looking at him looking at his mother and singing. The nurses came over and stood in silence. He broke down in the middle but finished the verse. He asked her vitals, thanked me and hung up.”

The thread continues, “Me and the nurses stood there. We shook our heads, our eyes moist. The nurses went back one by one to their allocated patients and attended to them or the alarms of vents/dialysis units. This song is changed for us, for me at least. This song will always be theirs.”

“After having obtained proper permission, I would like to inform you that the mother’s name is Sangamitra Chatterjee and the son’s name is Soham Chatterjee. My deepest condolences. You, your voice, your quiet dignity, are her legacy,” the thread ended. It is safe to say that this post, which has been shared by thousands on Twitter, has touched the hearts of millions of people.

Complaint filed against Christian missionary organization and its head for FCRA violation and hate speech against Hindus and PM Modi

By

-

Legal Rights Protection Forum (LRPF), the NGO watchdog that has constantly been reporting on illegal activities of foreign funded NGOs has filed a complaint against a Christian NGO named ‘Harvest India’ and its chief functionary Suresh Kumar, for indulging in proselytization activities and violating FCRA laws.

Details of the complaint

Following suspicions around their illegal activity, LRPF filed a complaint against the organization. The complaint sheds light on explicit details about how the organization has established more than 1500 ‘community centres’ all over the country for proselytizing purposes. In addition to this there are over 1500 to 2000 pastors working in the organization as well as in various other places undercover. This complaint goes ahead to list the various instances where the organization had conducted events called ‘crusades’ to induct new members to their religion as well as train religious preachers for this purpose. The complaint questioned how an organization that was supposed to be a not for profit body could gain so much money for missionary activities.

The complaint states that there also seems to be deeper forces at play as a gigantic church that has a seating capacity of hundreds of people has been built amongst other fixed assets that the organisation has invested in. It has been alleged that there has been no records of any money spent for construction of churches from the government’s end.

In addition to this, Harvest India has not shown any records of utilisation of FCRA funds for paying the pastors or the maintenance of churches.

Chief functionary indulges hate speech against Hindus and PM Modi in USA

Suresh Kumar, the Chief Functionary of Harvest India attended the Mission Conference 2018 held at Biola University, USA three years ago. Clippings of this event show him badmouthing the country’s Prime Minister at a conference held in a foreign country, no less.

The video showed him saying the following: “Right now, we are under Hindu rule. Our Prime Minister, he is a bad guy. He doesn’t want any Christians in India. He wants to make India as only Hindu country. So many pastors killed in last 5 years. Many missionaries, they send them out. There is unrest, turmoil. Pastors are killing, Churches are burning. The government is not doing anything. Brutal mentality, we are struggling. We do not know what is going happen tomorrow to Christianity in India, to Church in India but I am believing powerful god on our side. Next year we have election, please pray. I don’t want this party to come back. This guy is doing so much bad for Christianity”.

“I shared about the nation of India. Pastors are beaten, churches are burning. 5 years churches are struggling. Hindu militants posting videos in social media – husband and wife pastors stripped naked, made to walk naked just for bearing the cross of Jesus Christ.” he says.

In addition to this, they are constantly seen speaking ill about Hinduism and justify their conversion process, saying that Christianity is a more ‘equal’ religion in comparison.

Legal violations

It has been found that the committee that runs it is comprised of people who are non citizens of India and are here on a visa. Notably, many of these people are here on an expired visa. LRPF states that these so-called pastors who come in for ‘conversion’ purposes, and more often than not, overstay their welcome.

LRPF Harvest India Compla

In light of all this, the LRPF has written to the Ministry of Home Affairs to take action against the NGO and its head.

Rajasthan: 7 persecuted Hindu refugees from Pak die as they were allegedly refused beds, vaccines and insurance

By
The Commune

In a very sad development, Hindu refugees who had flee the Islamic State of Pakistan are suffering and facing many difficulties due to the Covid-19 pandemic in Congress ruled Rajasthan.

The persecuted Hindu migrants from Pakistan who are living in eight border districts of Rajasthan are struggling to find beds, vaccines, insurance cover, and free ration provided by the state.

The reason for the non-availability of such facilities is because of their foreign status and absence of citizenship as per a report in the Times of India.

Due to lack of proper medical care, since 20 March, seven Hindus have died in Jodhpur, which is home to 2,500 such families waiting for Indian citizenship for over several years.

While the Rohingya Muslims have been accorded several facilities, one Hindu refugee Baser Mal, who hailed from Sindh in Pakistan, died of Covid-19 on May 2 in his makeshift mud hut on the outskirts of Jodhpur. When he got sick he was taken to two private hospitals in Jodhpur where medical services was reportedly denied due to his non-citizen status.

A close relative of Mal Dr Rajkumar Bheel said, “The hospitals asked for his ID proof when we took him there on 26 April. Even for his RT-PCR test, we had to use our connections in the administration. This is how those who don’t have Indian citizenship struggle for basic facilities,”.

Dr Bheel who was a dentist from Hyderabad in Sindh province has been one of the few fortunate Hindus who have been granted Indian citizenship in 2016.

The Foreigners’ Registration Office (FRO) said 22,146 migrants, who have applied for citizenship, live in huts with no proper facilities. They have become vulnerable to Covid-19.

Hindu Singh Sodha, president of Seemant Lok Sangathan however said that the number over 25,000. Seemant said, “Neither they are protected under free food schemes, nor any state insurance/health schemes. They are left to fend for themselves in the most brutal manner, which is a matter of collective shame,”.

“I have written to higher authorities, seeking their guidance in providing the migrants vaccination and benefits under social welfare schemes. I am awaiting their response,” said Seemant.

It is disheartening that Rohingya Muslims are often caught with Aadhar cards and ration cards but Hindu refugees who left Pakistan because their lives were in danger are yet to be given special ration cards.

Rajashtan chief medical and health officer Balwant Manda says guidelines, in this case, are pending from the state government. “After a policy decision is taken at the government level, the requisite steps can be taken for vaccination of Pak migrants,”, it was said.

Padma Priya, the YouTuber who shot to fame overnight through her monologue video on the draft Environmental Impact Assessment 2020 and later found place in Kamal Haasan’s Makkal Needhi Maiam as Environment Wing head has quit the party citing ‘personal reasons’.

She had contested in the 2021 Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections from the Maduravoyal Constituency and got 33401 votes.

The YouTube-beautician-turned-social activist was called out by many for her absurd claims about the draft EIA 2020. In her video she had made baseless claims saying that the draft EIA 2020 would spell the doomsday for the entire country and that the city of Chennai would go under water and Tamil Nadu would turn into a desert. She had even gone to the extent of saying that no one would be able to question even if a nuclear plant were to burst.

She had put out another video demanding the release of Perarivalan, one of the convicted terrorist responsible for killing India’s former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.

Former IAS officer Santhosh Babu too announced his resignation from the party citing personal reasons. The mass exodus from Kamal Haasan’s party began with Dr. Mahendran, the ex-Vice President of the party quitting citing Kamal’s undemocratic behaviour and interference by campaign strategy firm Sankhya Solutions that was hired by the latter.
