Video of a DMK cadre arguing with a female police inspector near Tiruppur has gone viral on social media.

Police conducting a vehicle search in the Pongalur area near Palladam in Tirupur district stopped and checked a car belonging to Ravi, a member of the Pongalur East DMK. Ravi, who was allegedly drunk at the time, was enraged by the vehicle search and was having a heated argument with Avinashipalayam Inspector Gomati.

He threatened Inspector Gomati saying, “I am the next union secretary of DMK. Register a case if you can. I will take care of the case.” His dhoti slipped off while he was speaking, and he was whisked away by his mates. No one in the car, including Ravi, was found wearing a face mask.

The video has gone viral on social media. Palladam DSP Sriramachandran said, “We are looking into it right now. Action would be done fairly and impartially,” when questioned about the incident.

CNN sacks long time Pakistani columnist Adeel Raja who applauded Hitler for killing millions of Jews

International news outlet CNN had to sack Pakistani columnist Adeel Raja after he posted tweets justifying Adolf Hitler and killing of the Jewish people.

Raja had been associated with CNN since 2014 and his last byline was in September 2020. However, when his anti-semitic posts became known where this Islamabad-based journalist had tweeted “the world today needs a Hitler.”, CNN had to fire him away.

However, it must be noted that Adeel Raja “Blue-Tick” Twitter account with over 80 thousand followers is still not suspended even after he called for the mass murder of Jews and spewed hate.

Raja’s timeline shows that throughout his association with CNN such hate-filled outbursts was not a one-off tweet and his social media feed is littered with praise for Hitler.

In 2014, Raja used the occasion when Germany reached the FIFA finals and said, “Hitler was a German and he did good with those Jews!” Leaving no doubt about his allegiances, he added a “hail Hitler!” the next day.

CNN said in a statement that Raja had “never been a CNN employee”.

“As a freelancer, his reporting contributed to some newsgathering efforts from Islamabad. However, in light of these abhorrent statements, he will not be working with CNN again in any capacity.”, it said.

Even after CNN axed him, Raja remained defiant. Raja complained that a “single tweet contributed to the Palestine cause and brought it to the limelight with me losing [sic] my job.” He complained that the West supposedly supports freedom of expression and human rights but that he lost his work because of his pro-Hitler tweets.

A few days ago Pakistani actress Veena Malik and former Big-Boss contestant had tweeted support for Hitler and had said “I would have killed all the Jews of the world, but I kept some to show the world why I killed them.” Twitter later had to remove the tweet, however, many people who took screenshots posted it online.

DMK Govt’s move ends up as epic fail, e-registration for travelling within city causes heavy traffic jam

By

The DMK government on May 17 made it mandatory for those travelling within the city using personal vehicles to register themselves. People who have to travel from one police station limit to another have to carry an e-registration certificate.

This certificate is needed even to travel during the permitted time from 6 AM to 10 PM when people head out to buy essentials. This move had already come under heavy criticism as traders and small vendors find it difficult to cope with such regulations.

However, the piling up of vehicles in the arterial Anna Salai shows the extent of failure of the mandatory e-registration certificate. Policemen manning the arterial road had erected barricades and can be seen checking every vehicle for the e-pass while scores of vehicles pile up behind.

Many have asked the government to review its decision on e-registration saying that it is causing unnecessary chaos and distress.

The DMK government had announced that ₹4,000 would be distributed as COVID relief. The first installment of ₹2,000 has commenced across Tamil Nadu. For this purpose, tokens are being issued by ration shops for people to collect money on the date allotted.

According to records, about 4,02,854 family cardholders are to be provided relief of ₹2,000 each through 829 ration shops in the Sivagangai district. ₹80.57 crores have been allotted to the Sivagangai district for this.

In light of the situation, a shocking revelation showed that some of these beneficiaries also included family cards that have been cancelled in the past and those of the deceased.

As per reports, several lakhs of rupees have been misappropriated. Following this, a demand has arisen that the District Collector should conduct a proper investigation and take action.

PLA deploy troops and equipment in Eastern Ladakh violating disengagement agreement

By
The Commune
-

In the winter of 2020, China vacated the area it occupied on the north bank of Pangong Tso in eastern Ladakh as part of the disengagement. However, its troops and equipment continue to remain deployed in the areas as per media reports.

Satellite imagery from open-source intelligence shows that from 11 May Chinese troops are present in Rutog County, located on the Xingiang-Tibet (G219) highway close to the eastern end of Pangong Lake.

Rutog is a strategically important area as it is linked to both Pangong and Spanggur Lakes (south of Pangong Tso, east of Kailash Range) by road, and it serves as a major logistical base for the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) along the Line of Actual Control (LAC).

By having control of this area, the PLA can rapidly mobilize troops to deploy in forward positions against India using its road network.

The satellite image, posted on Twitter by open-source intelligence handle @detrasfa_, shows multiple rows of prefabricated living structures, indicative of the presence of a significant number of Chinese troops at the base.

A large motor pool, consisting of different types of vehicles, including those used by support and offensive units, can be seen in the imagery.

Among other things, the satellite image also shows a large number of camouflaged positions, which could be hosting suppliers of weaponry.

Earlier, reports had revealed that China had built structures between Kangxiwar, located on the G219 highway just north of Aksai Chin, and Rutog.

According to a report in India Today, at Kangxiwar and Rutog, the PLA has brought in 10,000 additional temporary troops to support the 10,000 permanent Chinese troops deployed at these locations and has started rotating troops along the LAC. After suffering a reversal in 2020, China has introduced two large field formations by inducting two fresh divisions in April.

By taking such aggressive posturing within the view of the Indian military and intelligence agencies, China is clearly not serious to abide by the disengagement agreement and seems to be just a ploy to recalibrate future action in this area.

The Indian Army is presently maintaining its posture in eastern Ladakh with a concentration of a large number of troops amid the Chinese Virus. Our troops, which had been moved back as part of the disengagement in the Pangong Lake area, remain vigilant in areas on the Indian side to deter Chinese misadventures.

Also, work on new roads and bridges in Ladakh continues unabated despite China’s aggressive maneuvers over the last year. The Border Roads Organisation appears to have improved its performance amid tensions along the LAC as India also builds a strong logistic hub.

On 27 April, Indian Army Chief General Manoj Mukund Naravane visited eastern Ladakh to review operational preparedness.

BJP MLA Nainar Nagendran has made arrangements to provide free food through Amma Unavagam outlets in Tirunelveli to the poor people who are suffering without food due to coronavirus lockdown.

The Coronavirus lockdown has been in place since the last 10 days and has been gradually tightened. In this situation, many people who come and work from the suburban areas and other states and cities are unable to return to their hometowns and are suffering from losing their jobs. Various social activists and non profit organizations are providing assistance to the suffering people, including food.

In this situation, many people from the North have come and stayed in the Tirunelveli Assembly constituency as daily wage workers. They have been finding it difficult to meet the essential needs including food.

In view of this situation, Tirunelveli MLA and BJP Tamil Nadu vice-president Nainar Nagendran told the corporation administration that he would pay the full amount for the food distributed at Amma Unavagam outlets run on behalf of the Tirunelveli Corporation. This is followed by free meals at Amma restaurants operating in 5 locations including Tirunelveli Town constituency, Tirunelveli Town, Dachanallur, Pattai. Bharati Janata Party (BJP) MLA Nayanar Nagendran has requested the corporation administration to provide free meals to the needy for breakfast and lunch.

DMK cadres create ruckus at ration shop, prevent AIADMK MLA from distributing cash relief

By

DMK members detained an AIADMK MLA who had gone to deliver corona relief funds at the fair price shop near Vaniyambadi, causing a commotion.

Senthilkumar, AIADMK Vaniyambadi MLA, visited the fair price shop near the Thimmampet Primary Agricultural Cooperative society in Vaniyambadi, Tirupattur district, on May 16 to hand over Rs 2,000 as corona relief announced by the Tamil Nadu government.

At that time, there was a heated argument between the two sides when DMK cadres arrived and stopped the AIADMK MLA, claiming that he should not provide relief funds because the new government is that of the DMK. “This is not MK Stalin’s money; it’s the people’s tax money,” an AIADMK cadre on the scene argued.

AIADMK MLA Senthilkumar told DMK cadres,”I have come to attend the event and provide financial assistance as the elected representative of this constituency.” As the DMK cadres continued to argue, AIADMK MLA Senthilkumar stopped the disbursement of relief funds halfway through and walked out. As a result, there was a commotion.

In another incident Jolarpet DMK MLA Devaraj threatened government officials in a fair price shop in Vaniyambadi, saying that only DMK office bearers will provide relief funds because it is the DMK government.

The video of DMK MLA  speaking in a threatening tone to government officials went viral on social media.

DMK MP belittles ‘Siddha’ medicine, calls it unscientific

By
The Commune
-

Senthilkumar, the DMK MP from Dharmapuri Lok Sabha constituency criticized the Tamil Nadu government’s move to provide Siddha treatment and called the ancient medicine system ‘unscientific’.

He wrote on Twitter that it was very unfortunate that the DMK government is treating COVID patients with ‘unscientific’, and ‘unproven’ Siddha medication

He went on to say that during a pandemic, using Siddha Medication and steam inhalation is a waste of resources.

He requested Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Stalin to form a team of eminent doctors from the Government and IMA and put an advisory committee to do things in a ‘scientific manner’ based on modern scientific research-based medicine

Many on Twitter expressed outrage at Dr. Senthilkumar  for calling Siddha medication ‘unscientific’.

During the last wave of the Wuhan Virus, many patients had recovered after taking Siddha treatment. Supreme Court Judge Justice Indira Bannerjee has in a statement given a testimony to the efficacy of the ancient traditional Siddha medicine saying that it has helped cure her aches and pains, cough, and sore throat. 25 prisoners at the Puzhal Central Prison who were administered Siddha treatment by a medical team headed by Dr. Veerababu recovered completely. The 25 prisoners were given Kabasura Kudineer – a Siddha formulation officially allowed by the Tamil Nadu government, herbal tea, and sunbath for a week.

In July 2020, former Tamil Nadu Minister who was instrumental in rolling out Siddha treatment in Chennai said that 80% of those affected with Wuhan virus in Tondiarpet zone had recovered through Siddha treatment.
