Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) chief Thol. Thirumavalavan has stirred controversy after a video surfaced showing him wiping off vibhuti (sacred ash) from his forehead just as a couple approached him for a selfie. This appeared to be a calculated act of political optics—though he had earlier accepted vibhuti and a sacred garland during his temple visit, he deliberately wiped off the vibhuti in front of the cameras, seemingly to avoid being seen as aligned with Hindu traditions.
The move has been described by many as hypocritical, given that Thirumavalavan had openly participated in rituals at the Murugan temple in Thirupparankundram, considered the deity’s first abode—on 19 June 2025. Photos shared on his own social media accounts show him wearing the vibhuti as he offered prayers.

The public act of wiping off the vibhuti has drawn criticism from various quarters, with many accusing Thirumavalavan of attempting to distance himself from Hindu symbolism for political or ideological gain but while during the same visit to Thiruparankundram, he proceeded to the nearby Sikkandar Hill dargah, where members of the Muslim community warmly received him and placed a skullcap on his head – an act he accepted with a smile.
Critics have labelled this as an example of selective secularism and hypocrisy, arguing that true secularism means either staying equidistant from all religions or treating them equally. Appeasing one religious group while dismissing or disrespecting another, they say, amounts to political opportunism that risks alienating the sentiments of the Hindu community.
"இதற்கு பெயர் தான் மதச்சார்பின்மையா"???🚨
இன்று மதுரை திருப்பரங்குன்றம் சென்றிருந்த திருமாவளவன்,
Former DMK MLA Nellikuppam Pugazhenthi has stirred controversy with his recent remarks, stating, “If I had the power, I would keep TASMAC open 24 hours a day.” He further added, “Let those who drink and die, die—we will govern with the rest.” His comments have drawn sharp criticism, especially in light of ongoing protests across Tamil Nadu led by women and social activists who argue that state-run liquor outlets (TASMAC) are destroying families—creating young widows, leaving children orphaned, and deeply harming future generations.
Pugazhenthi’s statement shocked many as he claimed the DMK’s earlier promise to ban liquor contributed to their electoral defeat—suggesting the party lost support due to that stance.
These remarks came during a DMK-organized event in South Pammal, held to mark the 102nd birth anniversary of former Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi and to highlight the achievements of the DMK government over the past four years.
Speaking at the event he said, “Who is to blame for us losing the last election and not coming to power? We are the reason. You ask why? We should have just kept our mouths shut in the last election. Our Thalapathy announced, ‘As soon as we come to power, the first thing we will do is shut down the TASMAC shops.’ We thought that as soon as he said this, all the mothers of Tamil Nadu would unite. They’d think that ‘My father drinks, my brother drinks, my uncle drinks, my brother-in-law drinks… and these people are saying they’ll close the liquor shops! and calculated that they would all vote for us en masse. But do you know what all the drinkers did instead?
They turned the TASMAC shop itself into the campaign quarters! The salesmen and the supervisors there became the main campaign messengers. Imagine our guy going to the shop. The moment he hands over the cash, the salesman tells him bluntly, “Listen, today is the last day. After this, there’s no more.” Our guy looked at him and asked, “What is it? We can survive without food, but how can we possibly live without our booze? What are you saying?” He replied, “Today is the last day, hereafter there is no more.” Then, they closed the shops three days before the election. All the drinkers were sitting around in the morning, asking each other, “Macha, do you have anything left over?” and he replied, “I just finished the last bit this morning, I don’t have a drop myself!” They immediately got together and made a decision, “If this is our situation after just three days, imagine what will happen if these guys come to power and shut the shops permanently! What will we do?” So, all the drinkers joined together, changed their votes, and that’s how we lost. We lost power. So, in this election, many people asked us, “So, will you be closing the shops this time?” We just kept our mouths shut. They’d ask, “Any opinion on the matter?” We didn’t open our mouth.”
He added, “Now, this is not the opinion of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK). This is not the opinion of the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Thalapathy M.K. Stalin. This is my personal opinion, Nellikuppam Pugazhenthi. If I had the power… I wouldn’t even say open TASMAC at 12 in the afternoon and close at 10 at night. 24-hours open! No holding back for anyone.”
Later said, “And why would I make it 24-hours-open? Because you are a waste to the country anyway. Go ahead, drink for 24 hours and die. We’ll run the government with the (people) who are left over.”
Tamil Nadu Higher Education Minister Govindan Nedunchezhian, referred to as Govi Chezhian, stirred controversy on Tuesday after claiming that the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK)-led government under Chief Minister MK Stalin was “running at rocket speed” and contrasting it with what he called the “myth” of Kamba ramayanam (the Tamil retelling of the Ramayana).
The remarks were made during the third phase of the Chief Minister’s Scheme outreach camp held in seven panchayats—including Papakovil, Kurichi, Prathaparamapuram, and Thirukuvalai—in the Kilvelur Assembly constituency of Nagapattinam district. The event was presided over by District Collector Akash and attended by Kilvelur MLA Nagai Mali and Tamil Nadu Fish Development Corporation Chairman Gauthaman.
Addressing the gathering at Kurichi Panchayat Union Middle School, Minister Chezhian praised the Stalin administration for its efficiency. Citing a petition received earlier that day from a differently-abled woman named Venkateswari, he said the government acted swiftly to provide her with a wheelchair. “The petition was received in the right hand, evaluated with the left, and resolved with the right again,” he quipped.
He continued: “Chief Minister Stalin is running a government that once crawled at a snail’s pace at rocket speed. This is not a myth like Kamba ramayanam, it is the truth.”
The Minister’s comparison of the revered Tamil literary epic to a myth has sparked criticism from various quarters, with some accusing him of denigrating Hindu religious and cultural heritage. Opposition leaders and cultural groups have demanded a clarification or retraction of the statement.
It is noteworthy that DMK patriarch Karunanidhi once famously asked which engineering college Lord Rama studied in to have been able to build the Ram Sethu. These comments by the DMK minister seem to be following their leader’s path.
In a major victory for temple worshippers and public interest litigants, the First Division Bench of the Madras High Court has ordered an immediate halt to all ongoing and proposed civil construction projects by the Tamil Nadu Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR&CE) Department that are in violation of binding judicial precedents.
The order came in response to a public interest litigation (PIL) filed by temple activist and president of the Temple Worshippers Society, TR Ramesh. The petition challenged a Government Order (G.O.) permitting the construction of a shopping complex on the sacred lands of the historic Sri Nellaiappar Temple in Tirunelveli.
Advocate B. Jagannath, appearing for the petitioner, argued that such constructions directly violate the landmark judgment of the Madras High Court in the Sri Nandeeswarar Temple case, which was recently affirmed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in May 2025.
Senior Counsel Satish Parasaran and Advocate Niranjan represented the petitioner in various matters, highlighting that multiple ongoing projects across Tamil Nadu are in contempt of this ruling and involve misuse of temple funds exceeding ₹1,000 crore.
The Bench, expressing serious concern, questioned why the HR&CE Department continues to bring forward construction proposals despite clear legal prohibitions. It directed the state government to maintain status quo on all such constructions and asked the department to file its counter-affidavit within three weeks. The next hearing is scheduled for 24 July 2025.
Senior Government Pleader Arun Natarajan, appearing for the HR&CE Department, opposed the plea but sought time to respond.
Jai Shri Ram! Har Har Mahadev!
This is HUGE. Hon'ble Chief Justice's Bench of the Madras High Court puts on hold all civil works (Rs.1000/ – +++ )Crores using temple funds and properties — but in violation of the law laid down by the Hon'ble Bench in Sri Nandiswarar… pic.twitter.com/q7JHjnUiKv
This interim order effectively halts large-scale commercial and civil projects being funded by temple wealth, ensuring that no further construction proceeds without legal scrutiny. Activists hailed the verdict as a significant safeguard for the sanctity and resources of Hindu temples.

Professor Suryakant Waghmore, a faculty member in the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT-B), has found himself at the center of mounting controversy over a series of public remarks, political commentary, and alleged ideological bias that critics say violate institutional norms and offend religious sentiments.
On 12 June 2025, IIT-B issued a formal show-cause notice to Prof. Waghmore for publishing a politically charged op-ed in the Times of India without obtaining prior clearance from the institute, as mandated under Schedule B, Paragraph 5(ii) of IIT-B’s code of conduct. The article, titled “Mumbai’s Big Cash Polls”, included his official designation and focused on the upcoming BMC elections. Instead of responding to the administration, Prof. Waghmore publicized the memo on social media, captioning it: “Another struggle for reforming the IIT system begins!”
> IITB professor writes a politically charged piece violating institutional policies > Got a show cause notice > Instead of replying to administration, publicises notice to cast aspersions on Twitter
Suryakant Waghmore is an Associate Professor of Sociology at IIT Bombay. His stated research interests include social exclusion, caste and violence, Dalit politics, institutional deprivation, and “Hinduism” — often framed through a highly critical and ideological lens.
His bio says, “My research has encompassed a mixed method approach to study social exclusion, politics at margins, policy processes and state-civil society relations. I have been using ethnography, with other qualitative research methods and descriptive statistics to underline how social exclusion operates in India. Ethnography has helped me keep my research outcomes nuanced. For instance while studying caste, I have focused on aspects of emotions – humour and anger to theorise caste better. This has helped me frame broader theoretical arguments on vernacular modernity in Indian subcontinent.
On the other hand I have also done policy relevant research that has helped corporations and state bodies. I have completed a research on Katkaris, one of the most vulnerable tribal groups in Maharashtra. While working with govt. and non-government development agencies over the years, I closely observed the influence of cultural politics on development processes and how state and non-state actors converge and disperse to institutionalize deprivation. This interface of culture, state and social exclusion processes has continued to be a major area of my research interest.
My research also explores social movements of traditionally marginalised groups and their attempts of achieving genuine civility and democracy in the Indian context. Current research interest includes a focus on changing forms of caste etiquette in modern India.”
Meet Suryakant Waghmore, associate professor of sociology, IIT Bombay.
Research interests: social exclusion, "marginalized groups", institutionalized deprivation, "caste & violence", dalit politics, "Hinduism" …
Controversy has long followed Waghmore, whose social media posts and public interviews regularly attack vegetarianism and Hindu practices. In a widely circulated post, he wrote, “I am hoping to be pure vegetarian in next life. Hope to have an arranged marriage, take dowry, drink cow urine, vote for BJP and attack Muslims. This life is dedicated to Ambedkarism.”
Can IITB professor stereotype vegetarian population like this?
The comment, interpreted by many as mocking vegetarians, arranged marriages, and Hindu customs, prompted backlash, with users questioning whether such stereotyping is acceptable for an academic in a taxpayer-funded institution.
Mocking Hindu Practices And Promoting Anti-India Narratives
Waghmore’s disdain for Hindu traditions is well-documented. He once compared a PhD in humanities to “not drinking cow urine for cancer cure,” mocking Hindu beliefs.
He posted a photo from Europe with the caption, “Somewhere in Europe where… no one wears a sacred thread, no one takes dowry… where 94% of the population does not have arranged marriages, where women are not disallowed in kitchens and temples during their periods. Shall I go on?”
His research paper “The Dominant Victim” argues that upper-caste Hindus claim “imagined victimhood” to overshadow Dalit struggles.
The Dominant Victim – paper by Suryakant Waghmore explores this phenomenon of an imagined victimhood. A mix of status anxiety and perpetuating privilege by getting equal to or superceding Dalit claims. Almost all power vested in a pyschic harm attribute to the label sudra.. pic.twitter.com/I6ot6mosxo

Attacking Vegetarian Students As “Militant” And “Casteist”
Waghmore has been at the center of multiple controversies regarding mess policies at IIT Bombay. In 2023, when vegetarian students (many of them Jains) requested six dedicated tables out of 129 in the common mess, Waghmore called them “militant” and accused them of enforcing “purity-pollution practices.” He supported a student, Abhishek Mali, who deliberately ate non-vegetarian food at vegetarian-designated tables in protest. Mali was fined ₹10,000, but Waghmore condemned the penalty as “disgraceful.”
In IIT-Bombay, food terrorists use the same laddle for veg and non-veg items.
Vegetarian students are denied a separate kitchen and tables to avoid mixing.
Professors like Guha and Waghmore support these terrorists by calling pure vegetarians ‘militant’. pic.twitter.com/mCOQP5O8Kv
In an interview, Waghmore claimed, “Vegetarianism is violent. Because you prevent your children from being exposed to the sight and smell of meat, which is attractive.”
"Vegetarianism is violent. Because you prevent your children from being exposed to the sight and smell from meat, which is attractive." 🤣
– Excerpt from an interview with Suryakant Waghmore, sociology professor at IIT-B.
Critics have pointed out the hypocrisy in his stance—while he opposes separate vegetarian tables, halal food restrictions remain unchallenged on campus as also there being separate food and tables during Ramadan.
Today #IITBombay students rec'd a mail about the amazing fasting preparation for #Ramadan. Entire Humanities department had a collective orgasm.
The same professors and some left students had had a fit when a mere six tables were reserved for those eating vegetarian food. Anyone… pic.twitter.com/IDcrUjSlLl
When students protested, Waghmore mocked them by posting a video of himself dancing, further fueling accusations of unprofessionalism.
@iitbombay who is this chutiya Suryakant Waghmore ?
Recently IIT Bombay held Phd entrance test in which they asked about Hindutva. This is clearly an attempt to deny entry to Hindus. When some students called out this blatant partisanship, this video was his reply. pic.twitter.com/hMK1eYjb6X
It is noteworthy that Waghmore had deleted his X account after these incidents came to light. Given his repeated pattern of controversial, politically charged, and frequently anti-Hindu commentary, many are now asking: How is someone like this employed at a premier technical institution funded by Indian taxpayers?
Professors at IIT Bombay apart from Suryakant Waghmore such as Anupam Guha have come under public scrutiny for their politicized commentary, ideological bias, and controversial conduct. Guha, an outspoken communist and activist, has supported figures like Hamas sympathizer Megha Vemuri and backed protests such as the anti-Sterlite agitation and anti-CAA marches, often promoting leftist and separatist narratives. He is linked to radical groups like The Collective and Kosambi Circle and has criticized national policies including Article 370’s abrogation. Additionally, a PhD scholar at the institute, Adarsh Priyadarshi, faces allegations of sexual misconduct, raising concerns about unchecked ideological networks and lack of accountability within the campus.
P.S: Waghmore’s X account was unavailable/hidden at the time of publishing this article leading us to the conclusion that he may have deleted the account. His X account is now available.

A distressing case has emerged from Kupwad in Maharashtra’s Sangli district, where a 27-year-old, four-month pregnant Hindu woman has died by suicide. Authorities are investigating allegations that she was subjected to relentless mental and physical harassment by her husband and in-laws, who were pressuring her to convert to Christianity.
The woman, identified as Rutuja Rajge, reportedly took her own life on 6 June 2025. According to a police complaint filed by her father, the groom’s family had presented themselves as Hindus from the Dhangar caste before the wedding. However, Rutuja allegedly discovered they were practicing Christians who had abandoned Hindu customs.
The complaint details a campaign of sustained coercion that began soon after the marriage, involving her husband, in-laws, and a local pastor. Rutuja reportedly told her father she was scolded for following Hindu traditions and was forced to attend prayer services with the aim of compelling her to formally convert.
Following her death, a case was registered at the Kupwad MIDC Police Station. The incident has sparked public outcry, with activists holding a protest in Sangli to demand justice for Rutuja and the enforcement of state-level anti-conversion laws.
This case is highlighted as one example of a wider, often underreported issue involving alleged “crypto-converts.” Similar incidents have been recently reported from other states:
In Madhya Pradesh, a bride named Sangeeta reportedly called off her wedding after learning that her soon-to-be in-laws were practicing Christians. Deeply rooted in her Hindu beliefs, Sangeeta said she would not have agreed to the marriage had she known about their religious background earlier. Following the incident, the groom’s family is said to have undergone a re-conversion to Hinduism in an effort to resolve the situation and address the bride’s concerns.
In Uttarakhand, a Sikh man Jaideep Singh, filed a case against his Christian in-laws for similar conversion pressure.
In Chhattisgarh, a 30-year-old tailor Linesh Sahu, took his own life in December 2024, leaving a WhatsApp status attributing his suicide to conversion pressure from his Christian in-laws and his wife.
Rutuja married Sukumar Rajge in 2021. Last week, she committed suicide. Was four months into her pregnancy
At the time of wedding, Rajge family had identified themselves as Hindus from Dhangar caste. But Rutuja soon found they were crypto-converts who had long given up Hindu… pic.twitter.com/jRZGIrBF0G
The first public bus stop in Ward 134, Arya Gowda Road, has been inaugurated with a prominent image of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, drawing attention for its political branding. The structure was built using the local area development funds of BJP councillor Uma Anandan, the party’s sole elected representative in the Greater Chennai Corporation.
Anandan shared an image of the newly constructed bus shelter on her official X (formerly Twitter) handle, highlighting it as a contribution made through her councillor development fund. “The first bus stop in Ward 134, Arya Gowda Road, Chennai with our Hon’ble Prime Minister’s picture. Built out of my councillor fund,” she posted.
The bus stop comes amid ongoing efforts by local BJP leaders to expand the party’s visibility and presence in the state capital, where the BJP remains a strong yet minor force compared to the dominant Dravidian parties.
The Congress party found itself at the center of a fresh controversy after sharing a post on its official X (formerly Twitter) account on 18 June 2025, that featured a map of Pakistan including Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) — a territory legally claimed by India. The post, intended to criticize Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s foreign policy, included the caption, “Narendra Modi has ruined the foreign policy”, alongside a video depicting the disputed map.
The use of the map sparked widespread outrage, with critics accusing Congress of promoting anti-national sentiments and aligning with Pakistani narratives. Many called it a serious lapse in judgment, alleging the party was indirectly endorsing Pakistan’s territorial claims. Following intense backlash from political opponents and the public alike, the Congress deleted the post without offering an immediate explanation.
The incident has added to the party’s recent struggles, with the BJP and other political voices demanding accountability and clarification over “highly irresponsible act.”

In an official post, the Congress party has shamelessly used Pakistan’s map of Jammu & Kashmir. Let’s be clear — this is not an inadvertent error, it’s a premeditated act that reflects their long-standing mindset.
As New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary heats up, one candidate’s extremist ties, radical ideology, and dangerous alliances have come under intense scrutiny. Zohran Kwame Mamdani, a 33-year-old Democratic Socialist and New York State Assemblyman, is not just another progressive politician—he is a hardline Islamist activist with deep ties to terrorist sympathizers, anti-American militants, and a global network of anti-Western radicals.
He is also seen as someone with limited work experience and lack of qualifications. Since graduating from Bowdoin College in 2014, Mamdani has held only a few short-term roles, including as a campaign manager, nonprofit counselor, and music supervisor on a film directed by his mother, Mira Nair. He has admitted to benefiting from nepotism and lived most of his life in subsidized or rent-free housing. As an Assemblyman, Mamdani passed just three bills and missed over half of Assembly votes. Critics say he’s unprepared to lead a city of 8 million, citing inexperience and ideological extremism. Political strategist Hank Sheinkopf called him a “make-believe character” lacking real-world knowledge of city systems. Despite this, Mamdani has gained traction among young progressives and is endorsed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Working Families Party, though polls show him narrowly trailing Andrew Cuomo.
What began as a fringe campaign has now surged in the polls, with Mamdani trailing only former Governor Andrew Cuomo. But behind the polished rhetoric of “social justice” and “affordable housing” lies a coordinated effort to infiltrate and subvert America’s largest city through a fusion of Islamic extremism, Marxist revolution, and anti-Israel hatred.
Let’s take a look at Mamdani’s disturbing ties to terror-linked groups, his open advocacy for violent jihadist movements, and his systematic efforts to dismantle U.S. national security from within.
Terrorist Sympathizer: Mamdani’s Ties To CAIR, Hamas & Global Jihad
Mamdani’s campaign is officially backed by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), an organization with a long history of supporting terrorism.
CAIR was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation trial, the largest terrorism financing case in U.S. history, which exposed a vast network funding Hamas. The CAIR was designated a terrorist organization by the UAE in 2014 for its extremist ties. CAIR was founded by Hamas operatives, including Omar Ahmad, who declared: “Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant.”
CAIR’s endorsement is a stamp of approval from an Islamist network that seeks to impose Sharia law in America.
It is noteworthy that in 2023 when Hamas carried out the deadly strikes against innocent civilians of Israel on 7 October, he justified the attack.
Refusal to Condemn “Globalize the Intifada” – A Call for Jewish Genocide
Mamdani has repeatedly refused to denounce the phrase “Globalize the Intifada,” a rallying cry for global jihad against Jews. When pressed, he compared it to the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, a grotesque inversion of Holocaust history. He said, “I think what’s difficult also is that the very word has been used by the Holocaust Museum when translating the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising into Arabic, because it’s a word that means struggle,” and added, “And as a Muslim man who grew up post-9/11, I’m all too familiar in the way in which Arabic words can be twisted, can be distorted, can be used to justify any kind of meaning.”
Mamdani, on The Bulwark podcast, says ‘Globalize the Intifada’ chant signifies, to him, a call for Palestinian human rights.
Adds: “The word has been used by the Holocaust Museum when translating the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising into Arabic — because it’s a word that means struggle.” pic.twitter.com/k2yeiSJpMy
The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum condemned him, stating: “Exploiting the Museum to sanitize ‘Globalize the Intifada’ is outrageous… Jews have been attacked and murdered under its banner.” The phrase is directly linked to Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, responsible for suicide bombings and massacres.
It is noteworthy that Mamdani cheered the 2015-2016 “Stabbing Intifada” as a “Third Intifada”. He clearly knows what it means. The Stabbing Intifada, also known as the “Knife Intifada”, refers to a wave of individual stabbing, shooting, and car-ramming attacks carried out by Palestinian assailants against Israeli civilians and security forces, beginning in late 2015 and peaking during 2015–2016. These attacks were concentrated in Jerusalem, the West Bank, and other Israeli cities.
Many attackers were motivated by religious fervor, nationalist anger, or a desire for martyrdom. The attacks were often sudden, unplanned, and carried out with knives or vehicles, making them extremely difficult for Israeli authorities to predict or prevent.
Dozens of Israelis were killed and hundreds wounded in these attacks. In response, Israeli security forces implemented stricter measures, including increased checkpoints and demolitions of attackers’ family homes. Many of the Palestinian assailants were killed during or shortly after their attacks.
Here’s Zohran cheering on the 2015-2016 “Stabbing Intifada” as a “Third Intifada.”
Mamdani’s defense of this genocidal slogan reveals his true allegiance: not to New Yorkers, but to the global jihadist movement.
Pledged to Arrest Israeli PM Netanyahu – An Act of War
In a shocking declaration, Mamdani vowed that, if elected mayor, he would order the NYPD to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visited New York. He cited a politicized ICC warrant, despite the U.S. and Israel not being ICC members. This is not a legal stance—it is a declaration of war against America’s closest ally. His comparison of Netanyahu to Vladimir Putin was not just inflammatory—it was a deliberate blood libel against Jews. This is not a legal stance—it is a declaration of war against America’s closest ally – in fact, America is supporting Israel in the ongoing war against Iran.
He even spread a widely debunked conspiracy theory against the Jews.
🚨 Here’s a clip of Zohran Mamdani spreading the debunked antisemitic conspiracy theory referred to as the “Deadly Exchange” program, which has been repeated by Linda Sarsour and JVP.
He also spread an anti-semitic lie that Jews were controlling the country.

Islamist Infiltration: Mamdani’s Agenda To Islamize NYC
Let us take a look at how Mamdani seemingly plans to islamize New York City once he becomes Mayor.
Mandating Halal Food in Public Schools – Imposing Sharia Law
One of Mamdani’s key legislative pushes is forcing all NYC public schools to serve halal food. He framed it as “inclusion,” but this is a Trojan Horse for Islamization. Halal certification is controlled by groups with ties to extremist funding networks. It sets a precedent for religious imposition on taxpayer-funded institutions, while Christian and Jewish dietary laws are ignored.
WARNING NYC 🚨 Zohran Mamdani Isn’t Running a Campaign — He’s Leading an Islamic Political Insurgency
What we’re witnessing in New York isn’t a mayoral race. It’s civilizational jihad, and Zohran Mamdani is its smiling face.
This is creeping Sharia—a hallmark of Islamist political strategy.
Muslim Democratic Club of New York – A Political Jihad Network
Mamdani is a board member of the Muslim Democratic Club of New York (MDCNY), a group tied to Linda Sarsour and other radical Islamists. MDCNY seeks to consolidate Muslim voting blocs to push far-left, anti-Israel policies. It operates under the guise of “civil rights” while advancing Islamic supremacy.
This is political jihad—using democracy to dismantle democracy.
Anti-Hindu Bigotry – Importing Sectarian Hate
Mamdani has a long history of anti-Hindu rhetoric. In 2020, Mamdani led an aggressive protest in Times Square against the construction of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. According to videos circulated at the time, slurs like “Hindus are bastards” were shouted during the protest—statements Mamdani has neither disavowed nor clarified. That protest was backed by Khalistani separatists, raising additional concerns about the ideological company Mamdani keeps.
NYC Candidate for Mayor Zohran Mamdani led a mob of protestors in Times Square calling Hindus as bastards and heaping abuses upon Lord Rama, who is worshipped by Hindus
He called the Ram Temple reconstruction in India a “fascist atrocity” and framed Hindu nationalism as a global threat, while ignoring Islamic extremism. He allegedly declared, “As an Indian Muslim whose family is witnessing the rising tide of fascism in India, I won’t be silent.”
His hatred for PM Modi knows no bounds. In a video of a discussion/debate that went viral earlier in June 2025, Mamdani repeatedly likened Modi to Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, going so far as to call him a “war criminal” during a recent public forum. He cited the 2002 Gujarat riots as justification—failing to mention that India’s Supreme Court had cleared Modi of any involvement after extensive investigations. In the video, he responds to the question “Modi is holding a rally in Madison Square Garden. He wants to hold a joint press conference with you afterwards reaffirming the strong bond between India and New York. Do you agree to the event?” with this response – “No, and I just want to say something here which is that. My father, his family comes from Gujarat in India and his family is Muslim, I am Muslim and Narendra Modi helped to orchestrate what was a mass slaughter of Muslims in Gujarat to the extent that we don’t even believe there are Gujarati Muslims anymore, and when I tell someone that I am, it’s a shock to them that that is even the case. And this is someone who we should view in the same manner that we do Benjamin Netanyahu; this is a war criminal.”
“We should view Modi the way we view Netanyahu. This is a war criminal,” says Indian-origin politician Zohran Mamdani in his campaign for New York Mayor pic.twitter.com/P6tzorEx5T
Mamdani often conflates Hindus with India’s ruling BJP, turning political dissent into religious animosity. When fellow politicians like Jennifer Rajkumar and Kevin Thomas refused to denounce Modi during his 2023 New York visit, Mamdani labeled them as complicit—again stoking intra-community rifts.
As three of the first South Asians ever elected to New York City and State government, @voteshekar, @ShahanaFromBK and I are appalled by the visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to our city.⁰⁰
— Zohran Kwame Mamdani (@ZohranKMamdani) June 21, 2023
His hatred for Hindus mirrors his hatred for Jews—both are enemies in the Islamist worldview.
Mamdani’s Socialist Terror Network
If you thought he was just involved in anti-Hindu/Jew activities and furthering his Islamist point of view, think again. Let’s take a look at how he is embroiled with the marxists/socialists.
Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) – A Marxist Terror Front
Mamdani is a key figure in the DSA, which has abolitionist agendas (defund police, open borders); ties to Antifa and far-left militants, and has pushed BDS as part of its anti-capitalist, anti-Western crusade.
His allies include Julia Salazar (BDS activist), Jabari Brisport (self-declared Marxist), and Rashida Tlaib (Hamas sympathizer).
Open Borders Advocacy – Dismantling U.S. Sovereignty
Mamdani has screamed at ICE officials, calling for abolishing immigration enforcement. His policies would flood NYC with illegal migrants, overwhelming social services. This aligns with the far-left “No Borders” movement, which seeks to erase nation-states.
Foreign Terror Links: Mamdani’s Global Jihad Network
New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani appeared on a Pakistani news channel allegedly known for its links to ISI-backed narratives and militant outfits like Tehrik-i-Taliban, actively campaigning for votes and showcasing his progressive credentials. Speaking in a mix of English and Urdu, Mamdani repeatedly emphasized his identity as a Muslim, a socialist, and an immigrant, framing his candidacy as a fight against systemic injustice, unaffordability, and Islamophobia in New York City. He made sweeping accusations against his rival Andrew Cuomo and criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi over Gujarat and policies on Indian Muslims, aligning himself with anti-Modi and pro-Palestinian positions. Mamdani also defended his controversial usage of the term “genocide” for the Israel-Gaza conflict, insisting that many Jewish New Yorkers support his stance. Notably, his appearance on a channel with a documented history of radical affiliations raises serious questions about his political judgment and the messaging he is willing to platform to court South Asian voters—especially in a global city like New York, where national security sensitivities and diaspora politics are deeply intertwined.
Yup, that’s the New York mayoral candidate, Zohran Mamdani, actively campaigning for votes on a Pakistani news channel known to be infiltrated by the ISI & militant outfits like Tehrik-i-Taliban. pic.twitter.com/GwNEkYa9Hf
Mamdani’s wife, Rama Duwaji, is a Syrian artist who glorifies Hamas in her work, a pro-Palestinian activist.
The couple’s ideological alignment is rooted in radical leftist politics, anti-Israel sentiment, and identity-based activism. She is part of his ideological machine, blending Islamic extremism with socialist revolution. Duwaji’s artwork reportedly supports the Palestinian cause, including Hamas-linked narratives, amplifying Mamdani’s political agenda. Their lavish Dubai wedding, despite Mamdani’s socialist platform, exposed his hypocrisy on “class struggle.”
Zohran, who constantly rails about how NYC is a city that only works for the rich, had his wedding in Dubai, one of the only ultra-luxury cities in the world that CURRENTLY has slaves.

A Clear And Present Danger To America
Zohran Mamdani is not a mayoral candidate—he is an Islamist terrorist operating within the Democratic Party. His campaign is a coordinated assault on U.S. sovereignty, Jewish safety, and Western values.
If elected, it only seems he would empower Hamas sympathizers in NYC government, normalize anti-Jewish and anti-Hindu hatred, institutionalize Sharia-compliant policies and turn NYC into a hub for anti-American radicalism.

A group of sanitation workers organized a sit-in protest at the Villupuram Municipal Office, calling for the release of long-pending welfare funds.
Villupuram Municipality employs 97 permanent sanitation workers across its 42 wards. A portion of their salaries is regularly deducted for future welfare benefits, which are typically disbursed twice a year. However, on 18 June 2025, around 11:00 a.m, the workers gathered at the Municipal Office in a sudden protest, accusing officials of mishandling their welfare contributions.
Speaking to reporters, one of the women sanitation workers said with frustration, “The officials have misappropriated ₹12 crore by involving and using a man named Vinith, who has no role here. We’ve been working here for 20 years, but they’ve never shown us any accounts— there is nothing other than salary. If we ask for accounts, they do not give us. They are enslaving us. They are not providing us slippers, gloves, and not even soap, they are simply enslaving us. We need immediate action. They should be held accountable. Even after 20 years, they won’t show us how much we have in our PF. We do not have PF. The officials are enslaving us saying we don’t work, that only contractors do. The contract should be stopped.”
Upon being alerted, Villupuram West Police arrived at the scene and initiated dialogue with the protestors. The workers explained that they were in financial distress as the welfare funds had not been released for the past three years. Despite repeatedly submitting petitions to the municipal administration, they claimed no steps had been taken to resolve the issue. Protesters chanted slogans, demanding the immediate release of the funds owed to them.
Municipal Officer Sripriya addressed the protestors, assuring them that she would consult with senior municipal authorities and expedite the disbursement process. Following this assurance, the sanitation workers ended their protest and peacefully dispersed.
