In a horrific incident, a 16-year-old girl was brutally murdered by a man named Saiyed Ali as the girl rejected his advances. The incident happened in Baghuda village bordering Sikandarpur in Uttar Pradesh’s Ballia district.

According to Hindi media reports, the victim was staying at her maternal grandfather’s house and had gone to harvest the crops in the field with her friends at around 4 pm. Saiyed Ali, a dailywage laborer, had followed her to the spot, pushed the girl to the ground and slit her throat.

Saiyed Ali fled the scene and threw his knife at a distance before the victim’s friends could reach for help. However, the villagers nabbed him and handed him over to the police.

Meanwhile, police have recorded the statement of the girl’s grandmother and her friends. Superintendent of Police Devendranath stated that Saiyed Ali had pursued the girl one-sided. Apparently, the girl, daughter of one Suresh Sahni, was an acquaintance of Ali but had stopped talking to him after he returned to his village from Delhi on November 12. Saiyed Ali assumed that the girl was in a relationship with another man and wanted to avenge it.

Police were deployed in the area amid tensions as the accused was a Muslim and the victim, a Hindu.

The incident comes just days after Ballia police arrested Imran, who had lured a Hindu girl into a love by hiding his religion. Imran tried to flee the village with the girl, hiding the fact that he belonged to a Muslim community. However, the villagers caught him and handed him over to the police.

With rising cases of love jihad, the Uttar Pradesh government has enacted a law to prevent such crimes. The first under this law case was registered on November 29 against a man named Owais Ahmed for attempting to forcibly convert a girl to Islam in Bareilly.

Humiliated, attacked and kicked in the stomach by CPM goons in Kerala when she was pregnant, Jyotsna who had a miscarriage and had to abort her baby back then is now a BJP candidate for the local body polls to be held in the second week of December.

Back in January 2018, in Kerala’s Kozhikode district, Jyotsna who was four and half months into her pregnancy had to forcefully abort her baby after she was kicked by a Communist Party of India (Marxist) goon named Thamby during a scuffle between her husband and neighbours over a land boundary dispute. Seven CPI(M) workers were arrested in February 2018 for assaulting the pregnant woman, who lost her baby.

The then BJP State Chief Kummanam Rajasekharan issued a statement saying, “Under the Marxist regime, it seems even babies are not safe in wombs. Law and order is precarious and party workers are ruling the state”.

In this local body election, Jyotsna is contesting as the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) candidate in Koorachundu, Kerala. BJP National General Secretary (Organization) BL Santosh shared this information on Twitter.

Elections to 941 gram panchayats, 152 block panchayats, 14 district panchayats, 86 municipal councils, and 6 municipal corporations is slated to be held in three phases  on December 8, 10, and 14 with counting of votes happening on December 16.

The BJP’s rise in Kerala seems to be posing a serious challenge to the Communist regime. The party had put up an impressive performance in the 2015 local body elections winning 35 out of 100 seats in Thiruvananthapuram Corporation alone. This time the national party is looking forward to expand its footprints in other areas.

The Government of India (GOI) has announced the third stimulus package of ₹900 Crore for the “Mission COVID Suraksha- The Indian COVID-19 Vaccine Development Mission” which will be provided to the Department of Biotechnology (DBT) for Research & Development of Indian COVID-19 vaccines.

The COVID-19 Vaccine development Mission with end-to-end focus from preclinical development through clinical development and manufacturing and regulatory facilitation for deployment, would consolidate all available and funded resources towards an accelerated product development. This will help accelerate development of approximately 5-6 vaccine candidates and ensure that these are brought closer to licensure and introduction in market for consideration of regulatory authorities for introduction in public health systems, to combat further spread of COVID infection.

The important objectives of the fund will be accelerating pre-clinical& clinical development; licensure of COVID-19 vaccine candidates that are currently in clinical stages or ready to enter clinical stage of development, establishing clinical trial sites, and strengthening the existing immunoassay laboratories, central laboratories and suitable facilities for animal studies, production facilities and other testing facilities to support COVID-19 vaccine development. The other important objective will be supporting development of common harmonized protocols, trainings, data management systems, regulatory submissions, internal and external quality management systems and accreditations.   Capabilities for process development, cell line development and manufacturing of GMP batches for animal toxicology studies and clinical trials will also be supported under the Mission. A key element will be development of suitable Target Product Profile so that vaccines being introduced through the mission have preferred characteristics applicable for India.

Led by Department of Biotechnology and implemented by a dedicated Mission Implementation Unit at Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council (BIRAC),the existing activities under National Bio Pharma Mission (NBM) and Ind-CEPI Mission will provide complementary strengths to this Mission.

Phase-I of the COVID Suraksha Mission has been allotted ₹900 Crore for a period of 12 months.

A total of 10 vaccine candidates have been supported by Department of Biotechnology so far at both academia and industry and as on date, 5 vaccine candidates are in human trials including the Russian Vaccine Sputnik-V with at least 3 more in advanced stages of preclinical to enter human trials shortly.

Dr RenuSwarup, Secretary Department of Biotechnology, Ministry of Science & Technology   and Chairperson BIRAC said, “Mission COVID Suraksha is our targeted effort to enable development of indigenous, affordable and accessible vaccines for our country and will complement the National Mission of AtmanirbharBharat”.“India has exhibited enormous strength in vaccine manufacturing and through this National COVID Vaccine Mission, we are confident that our vaccine manufacturers will develop affordable and accessible vaccine not only for India but the world”, she added.

Islamic cleric in WB says Muslims are real majority

By

The appeasement policies of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has given way for Islamist leaders to issue threats to the Hindus living in the state. 

In a provocative speech, Abbas Siddique, a radical Islamic cleric at Furfura Sharif, claimed that Muslims are the real majority constituting 35% of the population. “This is Bengal. We Muslims are 35% here. We are in majority. Because Adivasis, Mathuas, Dalits are not Hindus.”

https://twitter.com/abhijitmajumder/status/1332385175745961984

Political analyst say that this is the classic strategy deployed by Mamata – ‘Unite Muslims, Divide Hindus’ which gave her two electoral victories.

This is the same maulvi who when the COVID pandemic was stretching its tentacles across India said “May Allah send such a terrible virus to India that 10 to 20 to 50 crore people die in India.” He said that he does not mind whether he will live or die but will surely ‘take Hindus with him’.

It is to be noted that this Islamist cleric had earlier asked Mamata, why she had sent such girls to the parliament who were useless referring to TMC MPs Nusrat Jahan and Mimi Chakraborty.

Trouble for Mamata Banerjee is brewing with the likely prospect of Abbas joining hands with Asaduddin Owaisi who is the Amir of The All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (AIMIM). He was accused of dividing Muslim votes in Bihar and playing spoilsport to the Mahagathbandan alliance’s victory. 

Mamata is worried that the same might repeat in 2021 Bengal Assembly polls and is in a very delicate political situation as Abbas Siddique had initially asked Mamata for 50 seats. The two Islamic religious institutions that dominate West Bengal are the Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind and Furfura Sharif. In the North, Jamiat is influential Furfura holds the sway in the south. In 2011, Furfura played an important role in Mamata’s accession to power.

With many important leaders and supporters of Mamata deserting TMC,owing to her high-handed behaviour and the possibility of her losing the Muslim vote bank, her return to power in 2021 looms large. 

Kerala: CPM’s sinister plans for local body polls exposed, “Vote before 11 AM, spread rumour that someone in the booth has COVID”

The local body elections in Kerala are scheduled to be held in three phases on December 8, 10, and 14 with counting of votes happening on December 16. Elections will happen for 941 gram panchayats, 152 block panchayats, 14 district panchayats, 86 municipal councils, and 6 municipal corporations. With the BJP expanding its base in the state, the CPM is afraid of losing its ground and is resorting to win the elections by hook or crook.

Recently, it was revealed that there were independent candidates with similar names to that of the BJP candidates in wards where the BJP has a higher chance of winning. To add to this, the Kerala State Election Commission was allotting the ‘rose’ symbol (which looks similar to ‘lotus’) to these independent candidates with names identical to the BJP candidate’s name in order to confuse the voter. According to a report by Deccan Herald, at least eleven wards in Thiruvananthapuram have independent candidates with their names identical to that of BJP’s candidates and rose flower as a symbol.

For instance, the BJP candidate for Kazhakoottam ward is Anu G Prabha. An independent candidate named Anu is contesting with the ‘rose’ symbol. Similarly, M S Archana with rose flower symbol is about to play spoilsport to BJP’s Archana Manikantan. There are similar namesake independent candidates contesting under the rose symbol at four other local body wards in Thiruvananthapuram district.

BJP Kerala President K. Surendran has alleged that it was a deliberate attempt by the Pinarayi Vijayan government and the pro-left employees at the State Election Commission to spoil the chances of BJP in the elections. The party has decided to move the Kerala High Court seeking a rearrangement of the order of candidates in the EVM.

Meanwhile, another ploy of the Communist party has come to light. In a video that is going viral on social media, a CPM functionary can be heard advising the cadres to cast their votes before 11 AM and spread a rumour that someone in the booth has COVID so that nobody else comes to vote for other parties.

“By 11 AM all our votes should be gone to our parties. The CPM has decided that all the votes should be cast by 10:00-10:30 AM. Thereafter, go to every house and spread a rumour that someone in the booth has COVID so that no one else comes to vote, especially oldies.”, the CPM functionary says.

The BJP’s rise in Kerala seems to be posing a serious challenge to the Communist regime. The party had put up an impressive performance in the 2015 local body elections winning 35 out of 100 seats in Thiruvananthapuram Corporation alone. This time the national party is looking forward to expand its footprints in other areas making the Communist party to resort to deploy sinister plans to arrest its growth.

On the same day, ISIS-style graffitis in Arabic were found on the walls of Hampi, a UNESCO world heritage site and one of the important places of pilgrimage for Hindus.

Kalinga Rights Forum, a New-Delhi based non-governmental organization which brought this to light has registered a complaint with the Director General of Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), Ministry of Home Affairs, Minister of Culture, Bangalore City Police and the Chief Minister of Karnataka.

It has asked for the slapping of National Security Act (NSA) on the perpetrators. The Home Ministry has forwarded the complaint to Joint Secretary Padam Lochan Sahu, for immediate action. The Culture Ministry and the Chief Minister’s Office too has taken cognizance of the complaint. However, no replies have been received received from ASI.

Hampi is an important Hindu shrine with ancient temples built during the heyday of the Vijayanagara Empire. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Hampi is comes under the jurisdiction of the Archaeological Survey of India.

The ruined idols and sculptures in Hampi bear witness of the atrocities committed by the Islamic forces belonging to the Sultanate after the Battle of Tallikota.
