Arvind Kejriwal photo adorns the wall of the homes of Rinku Sharma’s killers

Rinku Sharma killers

Agniveer activist Sanjeev Newar has posted a very interesting photo on Twitter where one can see the photo of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on the wall of the house purtported to be of the killers of Rinku Sharma. Rinku Sharma was a a 26-year-old Bajrang Dal activist from Delhi who was stabbed to death after arguments over Ram Mandir donation drive.

Newar further said in his tweet that he did not see the AAP sticker on any other house in the lane.

The left-populist AAP is known for showering largesse on the Muslim community and often would generously compensate Muslims while the Hindus always get the short end of the stick.

The Delhi CM is furthermore known for playing appeasement politics and enjoys the strong support of the Muslim community in the national capital.

To maintain his voter-base among Delhi’s Muslim population, the AAP chief increased the salaries of imams from ₹10,000 per month to ₹18,000 per month and the salary of the imams’ helpers was increased from ₹9,000 per month to ₹16,000 per month. This decision went very well with the Delhi Waqf Board that controls all the mosques, unlike the Hindu temples which is controlled by the Indian state.

After the infamous Nirbhaya rape, Arvind Kejriwal had rewarded the so-called ‘minor’ criminal, who was the biggest tormentor of Nirbhaya with ₹10,000 and a sewing machine. At the same time when a AAP volunteer was molested, he had asked her to “compromise”. The victim later committed suicide.

Cryptocurrency to be banned in India?

cryptocurrency ban India

A draft bill is on the works that is reportedly all set to ban cryptocurrency in India. If this bill is passed, there will no longer be a possibility for Indian companies to pull a Tesla and mine cryptocurrency by the heaps.

The Cryptocurrency and Regulation of Official Digital Currency Bill, 2021 which is in the draft stage reportedly proposes a complete ban on all private cryptocurrencies –  a form of digital currency where records are stored in a ledger existing in a form of computerized database using strong cryptography to secure transactions. Since these currencies do not have a centralized regulatory authority and are untraceable, governments across the world are skeptical of private cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, ethereum, titcoin, etc.

The bill will, however, lay the groundwork for an official digital currency to be managed by the Reserve Bank of India which can be regulated.

While this proposed bill will produce a blanket ban on all cryptocurrency, the RBI is expected to set guidelines for the use of other forms of digital currency.  Nearly 7 million Indians hold cryptocurrencies worth over $1 billion and there has been an over 700 per cent increase in the last year, according to official estimates.

The decision was taken after an inter-ministerial panel, including representatives from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), felt that private cryptocurrencies pose a risk to the financial stability of the country.

It is to be noted that this bill comes after an announcement by Tesla’s owner Elon Musk that he will be making a $1.5 billion investment in Bitcoin with plans to accept the cryptocurrency from customers purchasing its electric vehicles. This drove the digital currency to an all-time high.

Knife In The Back : Demands Of Good Secularism

Ankit Saxena. Ankit Sharma. Ratan Lal. Kamlesh Tiwari. Rinku Sharma.

59 Kar Sewaks in Godhra. 15 Hindus in Delhi. 400+ policemen on Republic Day.

Without them, all of the incidents involving them would be pogroms and genocides by Indian media semantics. A wave of Hindutva savagery, led by bloodthirsty hoodlums of the Indian right, searing into homes of Indian Muslims and Sikhs. But thanks to their sacrifices, the scales have been balanced and we can all go back to vanilla discussions about how secular our roots are, how we must keep preaching and how we shall repeat these exercises over and over to feed the demons of our secularism.

Every time there is a communal incident in this great nation of ours, we immediately look for the fulcrum and our own balancing act. Hindu? Must have been ‘naughty’ and chanted Jai Shri Ram and tormented poor Muslims. Muslim? Must have been tormented by the Hindu or questioned on patriotism. Sikhs? Must have been challenged by the Government and backed into a corner by Hindus. Christian? Must have been tormented by Hindus for duping tribals and encouraging conversions. Suddenly, the scales start tipping in favour of everyone not a Hindu.

Just when you were thinking that it is time to shun your religion in this intolerant nation, a Rinku Sharma will take a knife in the back and tip the scales again, force you to think again. Now, both sides have lost people. Must have been the fault of both…stupid communal events. Good secularism is back in the discussion.

This cycle continues till you have another Muslim hurt or allegedly so. But, what happens the day the Hindutva savages have no Rinku Sharmas left? Factually, an incorrect argument to start with because there are close to 100cr Hindus in India as per the last census. But, what happens when they no longer wish the scales to be balanced or offer their sacrifices for good secularism?

With no good secularism in the picture, what would distinguish us from Pakistan or Syria? Would we not disgrace this country forever? Would we not shame our founding fathers and mothers of the Indian Constitution? The price this nation would pay is much bigger than what some of us would endure to keep good secularism alive.

The goal is clear. India comes first. And for that, good secularism must be protected at all costs. My Hindu brothers and sisters, we must become the samagri in this havan, the ashwa of this ashwamedha.

‘Krishna indulged in orgy with gopis, have a thing for mythological d*ck, Sita saw Hanuman’s thing grow big’: The tweets of Gaana employee who legitimized Rinku Sharma’s murder

Gaana app employee

On February 10, a mob of around 25-30 people brutally stabbed 26 year old Rinku Sharma to death in front of his parents on allegedly after arguments over  donation drive for Ayodhya Ram Temple construction.

Reporedly, the police have arrested the four assailants  – Mohammad Islam, Danish Nasruddin, Dilshan and Dilshad Islam – who entered Rinku’s house and killed him in cold blood.

In light of this incident, an employee of music streaming service app Gaana, put out a tweet that comes across as legitimizing this brutal murder.

One Tanzila Anis who works as a Content Head at Gaana commenting on the murder said “Bajrang Dal activist, That’s it, That’s the tweet” implying that Rinku Sharma getting killed was okay because he was a member of the Bajrang Dal.

Image

Following this, netizens started digging out her old tweets which are even more slanderous spewing hatred against Hindu Gods and the Hindu community.

In 2012, she wrote “I have thing for mythological dick”, in an apparent reference to Lord Shiva. In another tweet on Lord Shiva she said “I just saw this huge Shiva idol with legs spread wide. I want to stand under it. Who wants to join me in this #blasphemy”.

In April 2013, she said that Lord Krishna indulged in ‘orgy’ with gopis (Lord Krishna’s women devotees). “This boy is mad”, she had tweeted.

Image

She had also slandered Goddess Sita and Lord Hanuman by making inappropriate references. In another tweet put in March 2015, she said that there must be an outrage on why there are more Hindus in India.

Many are now lashing out at Gaana app and questioning if the organization does not do social media background checks before employing people.

Some have also uninstalled the Gaana app.

“Bajrang Dal activist, That’s it, That’s the tweet”, says Gaana employee on Rinku Sharma’s brutal murder

With her tweet going viral on Twitter and other social media platforms, she has now locked her profile.

Tanzila Anis seems to be a serial abuser and peddler of hatred, particularly targeting the Hindu community.

China bans BBC for ‘undermining national interests and ethnic solidarity’

China, in a purely retaliatory move, has officially banned the BBC World News Television from broadcasting in China days after Beijing’s primary international news channel lost its license in the U.K.

Many are seeing this as a punitive action by China, which on the one hand preaches to the world on the importance of freedom of speech and at the same time violently suppresses information in its own country. Last week, Britain’s media regulator Ofcom revoked the broadcasting license of Chinese English-language broadcaster China Global Television Network (CGTN).

The decision to cancel CGTN’s license in Britain was taken by Ofcom after it was determined that the network isn’t sufficiently “independent of the Chinese government control”.

In a statement released on Thursday (Feb 11), the National Radio and Television Administration of China said that an investigation had concluded that BBC’s reporting on China “seriously violated” Chinese media regulations.

According to the Chinese regulator, BBC had violated regulations requiring true and impartial reporting and that its China-related reports have undermined the country’s “national interests and ethnic solidarity.”

British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab called China’s decision “an unacceptable curtailing of media freedom” and said it would “only damage China’s reputation in the eyes of the world.”

The United States has condemned China’s decision to ban the BBC in that country. US State Department spokesperson Ned Price in a press conference said, “We absolutely condemn PRC’s decision to ban BBC World News. PRC maintains one of the most controlled, most oppressive, least free information spaces in the world. It’s troubling that PRC restricts outlets & platforms from operating freely in China”.

Price also accused China of taking advantage of free speech in the West, maliciously using free media outside China to promote misinformation.

The BBC said that it was disappointed by China’s ban, adding that it “reports on stories from around the world fairly, impartially and without fear or favor.”

Recently the BBC had made a startling revelation about the condition of Uyghur Muslims who are held in concentration camps in China and reported on the rampant abuse of men, women and children in the camps.

Bajrang Dal activist brutally murdered by Muslim mob in Delhi over fund collection for Ram Mandir

Rinku Sharma

Delhi’s Mangolpuri area, densely populated by Muslims, is now simmering under communal tensions after a 26-year-old Bajrang Dal activist named Rinku Sharma was stabbed to death after arguments over the Ram Mandir donation drive.

Already there are several pictures and videos about the incident making the rounds on social media. As per reports, a mob of around 25-30 people brutally stabbed Rinku Sharma on February 10 (Wednesday). 

https://twitter.com/MrsGandhi/status/1359968576472403970

What is even more startling is that the cold-blooded murder took place right inside his house in front of his family members.

As per the latest report, by Hindi daily Jagran, the police have arrested the four assailants, who entered Rinku’s house and killed him in cold blood. The perpetrators of this inhumane crime have been identified as Mohammad Islam, Danish Nasruddin, Dilshan and Dilshad Islam, according to social media posts.

Rinku Sharma was a long-term resident of Delhi’s Mangolpuri area and worked as a lab technician in a hospital in Paschim Vihar. He leaves behind his mother Radha Devi, father Ajay Sharma and brothers Ankit and Manu Sharma.

https://twitter.com/ItsShubhangi/status/1359943103457632256

Rinku was actively involved in the donation drive being carried out by Bajrang Dal towards the construction of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. 

As more information emerges as to what led to this most gruesome attack, it is evident that an argument ensued between the Bajrang Dal activist and his assailants over the construction and the money collected by the Hindu outfit for the construction of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya.

Also, before the collection drive had begun, Hindu outfits in the area had organised awareness drives regarding the construction of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi temple at Ayodhya.

It was during this time that the assailants had gotten into a dispute with Rinku Sharma, but timely intervention by some people of the area had resolved the issue. However, on 10 February Rinku Sharma once again ran into the assailants at a birthday party, where they got into a heated argument.

The victim’s father told Sudarshan TV that on Wednesday night, around 25-30 persons knocked on the door of their house, attacked Rinku Sharma and Rinku’s younger brother Ankit and kicked the two of them around, subsequently  stabbing Rinku and vandalising the house.

Rinku’s father, who is an eyewitness to the murder of his own son, said that the attackers were armed with knives and lathis, and mercilessly attacked Rinku with sharp knives. He added that once Rinku was seriously injured, the assailants fled the scene.

Rinku was rushed to Sanjay Gandhi Hospital in Mangolpuri, where he succumbed to his injuries at 12 noon on Thursday.

A video of the incident has also emerged, which shows the mob attacking the family and then killing Rinku Sharma. They also tried to snatch an LPG cylinder, perhaps to use it as a weapon.

Rihanna faces another blow as Louis Vuitton withdraws her fashion line citing ‘poor sales’

Luxury fashion conglomerate Louis Vuitton, or LVMH as it is commonly known, recently suspended the fashion line “Fenty Fashion House” indefinitely, citing poor sales. It is to be noted that this account belongs to the pop star, Rihanna, who has become the favourite child of controversy after tweeting about the farmers’ protests in India.

Rihanna became the first Black woman to head a fashion label when Louis Vuitton launched her fashion line two years ago. The French fashion house is run by LMVH, which also owns Dior.

In a statement to CNN Style, LVMH said the pause was a joint decision with Rihanna “pending better conditions,” and LVMH will continue to support other elements of the Fenty empire, concentrating on “the growth and long-term development” of her beauty and skincare lines Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin, as well as lingerie line Savage X Fenty. The goal is to support “the Fenty ecosystem focusing on lingerie, cosmetics and skincare,” according to the LVMH statement.

Thanks to the pandemic, personal grooming brands were the most affected and Fenty was no exception, according to their CFO. “We are still in a launching phase and we have to figure out exactly what is the right offer,” LVMH Chief Financial Officer Jean-Jacques Guiony told analysts about Fenty in October. “It’s still a work in progress.”

Tamil Nadu: Islamists threaten violence against Marwari community, asks them to leave the state

In an incident that triggers the haunting memories of the violence perpetrated on Hindus by the Islamists in Kashmir, a bunch of Islamists in Tamil Nadu belonging to a fundamentalist organization issued pamphlets asking the Marwari community to leave the state. 

The pamphlet states that the Marwaris are funding the BJP which according to them is trying ‘to foment communal unrest’ in the state where Hindus, Muslims and Christians have apparently been living as ‘friends’. It also goes on to say that Marwaris are the ‘fuel’ that keeps the ‘vehicle’ BJP going and added that ‘if the fuel is stopped, the vehicle would ‘automatically stop. 

 It stated that any violence and damage to public property will be the responsibility of Marwari community and the government should collect compensation from them.

The pamphlet issued by a Tiruchi based Islamist group named ‘Tamizhaga Makkal Jananaayaga Katchi’ (Tamil Nadu People’s Democracy Party) has also accused the Marwari community of ‘stealing jobs and business opportunities from Tamilians’ and demanded that Marwaris leave Tamil Nadu and go back to their ‘native place’.

In the end, the pamphlet issues a threat, “We will provide a livelihood to those who come here.. if you do mischief we’ll shut down your shops permanently”.

To stir up conflict, the pamphlet also said that BJP leader Kalyanaraman spoke ill of Islam’s prophet because he has the support and financial backing of the Marwaris and asked all the shop keepers to close their shops in solidarity with Muslims in condemning Kalyanaraman’s communal speech. 

Muslims in the area distributed pamphlets to the shopkeepers and not so subtly, asked them to shut their shops on 8th February.

This act of terror has sent a shockwave in the Marwari community who have settled in this area for generations and understand the local custom and language. The Marwari community is known to assimilate with any local population were it does business and have always maintained a cordial and respectful relationship. 

BJP cadre protested against this hate campaign and sat in support with Marwaris and North Indian communities, demanding that TPDP must be held accountable for spreading hate against a particular community by advocating violence following which 4  functionaries from the fundamentalist organization were arrested by the police.

It is pertinent to know that TPDP was founded by one K M Shariff, a disciple of Palani Baba aka Ahmed Ali, a notorious fundamentalist Muslim leader.

This is not a new phenomenon in Tamil Nadu has seen against a particular community. The state is known for its notorious hate campaigns against Brahmins. Dravida Kazhagam, Seeman’s Naam Tamilar Katchi, Thirumurugan Gandhi’s May 17 Movement have targeted and peddled hate against certain communities. 

In recent times, Tamil Nadu has seen a dramatic rise in Islamic fundamentalism. A man named Dinesh from Chennai was attacked by 80 Muslims who threatened to kill him for distributing pens with the words ‘we support Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and National Register of Citizens (NRC)’.
