“Humans Are There In Pakistan Too”: CPI-M Tamil Nadu Posts In Support Of Pakistan Which Is Attacking India’s Civilian Population With Drones And Missiles

By
The Commune
-

After the Maharashtra unit of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI-M) posted a vague message urging to “De-Escalate” military actions against Pakistani terrorists, the Tamil Nadu unit has stirred fresh controversy by criticizing the Indian government’s targeted retaliation against terror camps in Pakistan. Notably, these Indian strikes avoided Pakistani military assets and civilian areas—unlike Pakistan’s response, which has involved indiscriminate shelling of civilian homes across Kashmir, Punjab, and other border regions.

What caught everyone’s attention was CPIM Tamil Nadu’s post, which read, “There are people in Pakistan too; no country should be destroyed. Bihar boy who slammed up ‘Godi Media’ journalist. #India-Pakistan #Hindu #Islam #Fraternity.” The post appeared to pander to minority Muslim sentiments, featuring a video of a young boy from Bihar questioning the media about why Indians should support their own country. The conversation in the video as follows:

The reporter asks, “Pakistan zindabad?“
The boy says, “Zindabad.”
The reporter questions back, “Aren’t you ashamed?”
The boy replies, “Why should I be ashamed?”
The reporter asks, “Pakistan shouldn’t be destroyed?“
The boy says, “What, it shouldn’t be.”
The reporter questions, “Long live India or no?”
The boy says, “Yes.”
The reporter repeats, “Long live Pakistan or no?”
The boy responds, “Yes, long live everyone in their own space. You too long live in your space.“
The reporter questions, “What is your name?”
He replies, “Kaif,” and is asked, “What is your full name?“
The boy says, “Muhammed Kaif.“
The reporter questions, “Where are you from?“
He says, “I’m from Bihar.“
The reporter again asks, “Aren’t you even a little ashamed that despite living in India, you are supporting Pakistan? Why shouldn’t Pakistan be destroyed?”
The boy asks, “Oh, you’re making the news, aren’t you ashamed about it? Yes? Aren’t you ashamed making news and spreading everywhere about Hindu and Muslims? Why should we support India? First answer this. Then I’ll say something you were asking. There are people over there too, here too. Muslims and Hindus there too and here too. Everyone is human, then why kill everyone? Tell me? Tell me why it should be destroyed? Everyone has a life to live, everyone has the right. Then why destroy them?”
The reporter again asked, “Do you support Pakistan?“
He replied, “If you go there, someone will kill you. Then the job done?”
The reporter again asked, “Do you support Pakistan?”
He replied, “Yes, I support.”
The reporter asked, “Aren’t you Indian?”
The boy said, “I am Indian. You’re saying destroy that country, but everywhere people live.”
Then the reporter asked, “I want to ask you one small thing. Who taught you this?”
He said, “I have a brain,” and ran away.

The post came across as moral preaching about fraternity an ideal India already upholds while CPIM appeared to indirectly side with Pakistan and, by extension, showed sympathy toward elements aligned with terrorism.

The deeper irony, however, lies in the fact that the video CPIM Tamil Nadu shared originated from a social media handle known for openly promoting religious bias over national unity. This raises an uncomfortable question—did the CPIM knowingly endorse this source, or were they unaware of the ideological leanings of the account they amplified?

The original post that CPIM Tamil Nadu appeared to draw inspiration from was shared by a platform called IlmFeed on 9 May 2025. The message was highly controversial, as it cut along religious lines and implicitly encouraged Indian Muslims to prioritize religious identity over national loyalty. IlmFeed stated openly that it promotes Islamic unity over nationalism, declaring that Indian and Pakistani Muslims are “brothers in faith.” While it expressed a hope for peace, it also defended Pakistan’s right to retaliate, subtly legitimizing its military actions when India attacks terrorist military camps alone.

The full message read, “A message to our Muslim Indian followers: We are praying for your safety as much as we are praying for the safety of our brothers and sisters in Pakistan. We have always promoted Islamic unity above nationalism. Indian Muslims and Pakistani Muslims are brothers in faith. We pray that this war does not escalate as innocent people will lose their lives, but at the same time, Pakistan has the right to defend itself. We know that it is hard living as a Muslim in India due to the anti-Muslim media and politicians but at times like these, it’s best to remain silent rather than give full support to military strikes against a Muslim-majority country where innocent Muslims will die. May Allah allow us all to see the truth and live by it.”

These are the handle where CPIM seems to get inspired and the come to preach fraternity with Indians.

At War Time, Congress Kerala Echoes Pak Lies: Posts Debunked Rafale Claims, Later Deletes

By

congress kerala rafale pakistan

In a surprising and controversial move, the Kerala unit of the Indian National Congress (INC) posted on its official X (formerly Twitter) account a message that mirrored Pakistani propaganda, falsely claiming that Indian Rafale jets had been shot down. This aligns with a now-debunked narrative Pakistan had been pushing until recently, using doctored images of a supposed downed Rafale jet—images that have since been proven fake and manipulated.

What’s more troubling, at a war like situation the Congress party chose to revive old and unsubstantiated corruption allegations against the BJP over the Rafale deal that were scrutinized and dismissed in court by boasting pride.

In its 9 May 2025 post, the official INC Kerala handle stated, “We aimed at Pakistan but looks like someone else got hit instead. Rahul Gandhi objected the mass corruption in the name of Rafale. Even BJP’s defense minister Manohar Parikkar was not involved in the negotiations done by Modi and his partner Anil Ambani. Finally Mr. Parikkar resigned unable to come to terms with scale of the scandal. If it was UPA Govt in power we could have had 126 jets at lesser cost that too with technology transfer. Do you want us to dig further and expose all those leaders involved in it? Let us know when you can stomach that.”

Netizens from across the board called out the party for the timing of the post and exposed where it stood at the time of crisis. The post has been deleted at the time of publishing this article.

The exchange began when the Kerala Congress posted a celebratory message on X, saying, “Gentle reminder to Pakistan!” alongside an iconic image from the 1971 Indo-Pak war, depicting the surrender of 93,000 Pakistani troops and the creation of Bangladesh. This post was intended to highlight India’s historic military strength.

In response, the Kerala BJP took a jab at Congress, reminding the public of Rahul Gandhi’s opposition to the Rafale jet deal. The BJP’s post read, “Gentle reminder to Congress: Rahul Gandhi didn’t want India to have Rafale jets.” The BJP emphasized that if the deal had not been fast-tracked by the current government, India wouldn’t have the critical air superiority it demonstrated in recent operations.

The Kerala Congress retaliated with its controversial 9 May post, reviving the Rafale corruption allegations—allegations that courts have already dismissed due to lack of evidence. The timing of this political back-and-forth, coinciding with rising tensions following a deadly terror attack in Kashmir and India’s retaliatory missile strikes on May 7, has raised serious concerns. Critics argue that Congress’s rhetoric undermines national unity and inadvertently aligns with discredited Pakistani narratives.

Operation Sindoor: Escalation Continues As India Responds To Pakistan’s Intensified Hostilities

By
The Commune

pakistan air base operation sindoor escalation

Operation Sindoor did not stop with the strikes on terror camps inside Pakistan. The ongoing attack by Pakistan and retaliation by India will be covered by The Commune on a regular basis. Here is a list of updates as reported so far.

Pakistan’s “Solid Wall of Lead” and Initial Strikes

Pakistan has declared the commencement of “Operation Bunyan Al-Marzoos,” a phrase with religious connotations implying an impenetrable barrier. This announcement has been accompanied by a surge in hostile actions. We’ve received direct information indicating this operation is underway from their side of the border. The initial phase has involved widespread drone attacks targeting both the Jammu region and areas in South Kashmir. Notably, areas with significant Hindu and Sikh populations in northern Jammu, such as Arnia and RS Pura, have experienced severe drone incursions. Simultaneously, densely populated villages in the mountainous regions of Poonch, Rajouri, and the Baramulla area of South Kashmir, where a majority of residents are Muslim, have also been subjected to intense drone attacks. These aerial assaults were not confined to Jammu alone; a coordinated wave of drone strikes hit 26 cities in our northern territories, commencing earlier than previous nights. While our defenses have been largely successful, with a claimed 99% interception rate, some drones managed to penetrate, causing injuries to civilians in rural areas. Thankfully, no lives have been reported lost in these initial attacks.

The Enemy’s Growing Drone Threat and Tactics

The scale of the drone attacks has alarmingly increased, escalating from approximately 400 to over 1,000 in this recent wave. Intelligence sources suggest a substantial buildup of Pakistan’s drone capabilities, with over one hundred thousand drones reportedly acquired from Turkey and China. There are even reports of a dedicated “Drone Brigade” established near Arul in Jammu a few years prior. Their current tactics seem to mirror those employed by Hamas, indicating a potential strategic alignment or knowledge transfer. This significant increase in drone deployment represents a dangerous escalation in their offensive capabilities.

India’s Measured Response and Defensive Actions

In response to these provocations, India is carefully calibrating its counter-measures. While an initial retaliatory action occurred last night, it appears to have been a calculated and perhaps limited response. Our air defense systems are actively engaged in neutralizing the incoming drone threats. It’s worth noting that prior to these large-scale attacks, there was likely a reconnaissance phase involving unarmed drones to probe the effectiveness of our defenses. This suggests a deliberate and planned escalation on their part, and we must remain vigilant.

Ballistic Missile Launch and Our Successful Interception

Pakistan has further intensified the conflict by launching short-range ballistic missiles, identified as a Chinese variant that they have curiously painted green with a star marking. Approximately eight to ten of these missiles were launched, with targets including Jammu, a city in Rajasthan, and alarmingly, our nation’s capital, Delhi. An attack on Delhi is unequivocally an act of war, leaving no room for ambiguity. However, our defense forces demonstrated exceptional capability by successfully intercepting and shooting down every single one of these missiles in the Haryana region. It’s noteworthy that some of these missiles displayed signs of depressurization. The continued use of Chinese-origin missiles, even with attempts at disguise, underscores their reliance on external military support.

Targeting Strategic Enemy Air Assets

Our forces have initiated a strategic counter-offensive, focusing on key airbases within Pakistan that are critical to their military operations. The first targeted location was Nur Khan Airbase in Rawalpindi, a vital hub situated close to their military headquarters. This airbase houses a significant portion of their air power, including F16 and JF7 fighter jets, Mirage aircraft, and essential transport assets like their AWACS and Hercules planes. Furthermore, it hosts their VIP transport fleet, the Air Force College, and their transport wing. This crucial airbase was struck by our air-to-surface missiles. Subsequently, a significant drone base, housing Turkish-made Pyrocopter DB2 drones and Chinese “shopper” drones, was also targeted and successfully attacked. The third key target was Rafiqui Airbase, located near the border and home to JF7 and Mirage fighters, which also came under our missile attack.

Airbases targeted include the Nur Khan airbase, Murid air base at Chakwal, Rafiqui air base at Shorkot, Rahim Yar Khan air base in Southern Punjab, Sukkur air base and Chunian air base.

Air Engagement Over Srinagar and Enemy Propaganda

Fierce air combat erupted over Srinagar earlier in the day. There are credible reports of three Pakistani aircrafts being shot down in these engagements. This intense aerial activity echoes previous conflicts. The specific targets in Srinagar include the Badami Bagh cantonment military headquarters and the old airfield, where our forces are actively engaged. Simultaneously, the enemy has attempted to spread disinformation, falsely claiming that an Indian plane crashed in Sialkot, attributing recovered debris to our aircraft when it was, in fact, remnants of their own downed drone. We urge everyone to disregard such baseless rumors. Remember, if any of our aircrafts were lost, we would be the first to report it truthfully.

A Nation United in the Face of Aggression

India is facing a serious escalation, potentially drawing in other external actors like Turkey and China, who are reportedly providing military and financial assistance to Pakistan. The IMF has also reportedly extended significant financial support. In response to our counter-offensive, the Pakistani Prime Minister convened a meeting of their National Command Authority, the body that controls their nuclear arsenal, likely in an attempt to intimidate and create international panic. We must remain resolute and not succumb to such fear-mongering tactics. Similar threats were made in the past and proved to be empty. Any use of nuclear weapons by them would be met with a devastating response. We must stand together as one nation, supporting our government and military during this critical time.

This is the grim reality of war, and we must be prepared to face it with strength and unity. Our objective is clear: to decisively address this aggression. The Indian Navy has yet to fully engage, indicating the potential for further action. Our strategic approach, focusing on key military targets, aims to systematically degrade their ability to wage war. We are on a path towards war, though not yet fully immersed in it. Our Prime Minister is in constant consultation with defense officials. As a nation, we must remain vigilant against misinformation and trust in the strength and capability of our armed forces.

Operation Sindoor Updates: India’s Multi-Front Retaliation – From LoC Strikes To Cyber Warfare & Global Diplomacy

By
The Commune

operation sindoor dravidianists

Operation Sindoor did not stop with the strikes on terror camps inside Pakistan. The ongoing attack by Pakistan and retaliation by India will be covered by The Commune on a regular basis. Here is a list of updates as reported so far.

Heavy Attacks Along Line of Control

The Indian Army has intensified its operations along the Line of Control (LoC), deploying a variety of weapons including AK-series rifles, light and medium machine guns, and shoulder-fired anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs) to target enemy bunkers and posts. The Army has officially released video footage of these operations, signaling a strategic shift towards psychological and information warfare—similar to methods employed by the Israeli Defense Forces. The release of such visuals marks a more assertive stance in the ongoing conflict with Pakistan.

Seven Terrorists Neutralized in Samba Sector

In a major counter-terrorism success, security forces eliminated seven heavily armed Pakistani infiltrators in the Samba sector along the international border in Jammu and Kashmir. The terrorists, identified as operatives of the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), were intercepted and killed by the Border Security Force (BSF). This operation comes amid heightened alerts across all military cantonments following fears of attacks similar to the 2016 Pathankot incident. No casualties were reported on the Indian side.

Clarification on Government Blackout Advisories

Amid circulating concerns, authorities have clarified the rationale behind recent government advisories urging citizens to switch off lights at night. The blackout is a precautionary defense measure designed to disrupt the enemy’s use of electro-optical sensors (EOS) mounted on drones, missiles, and other surveillance platforms. These sensors, which rely on infrared signatures, can use artificial lighting to identify and lock onto targets. By reducing visible and thermal emissions, such blackouts aim to deny adversaries navigational and targeting advantages. Additionally, India retains the capability to jam or spoof GPS signals, further complicating hostile targeting systems.

Strikes Inside Pakistan: Lahore, Mianwali, and Bahawalpur Targeted

India is reportedly expanding its operations beyond border skirmishes, targeting strategic locations within Pakistan. Drone strikes have reportedlyhit military installations and cantonment gates in Lahore, while similar activity has been reported in Mianwali and Bahawalpur. Intense war drills are also underway on the Indian side, with anti-tank guided missiles being deployed in tactical exercises. Unconfirmed reports suggest that around 40 Pakistani soldiers have been killed in the recent engagements, though no official Indian statement has been issued on these figures.

India Gains Upper Hand in Information Warfare

In a notable shift, India appears to be dominating the propaganda and information space for the first time in the history of Indo-Pak hostilities. The release of verified combat footage by Indian forces has garnered widespread attention and support, both domestically and internationally. Meanwhile, Pakistan’s disinformation efforts have seen limited traction. Economically, the conflict has had a significant impact: Pakistan’s stock market has seen steep declines, while Indian defense stocks—particularly those linked to drone manufacturing—are witnessing strong gains.

Geopolitical Landscape: Mixed Global Reactions

International reactions to the conflict are evolving. India has received vocal online support from Israelis and Jewish communities around the world, marking a notable show of solidarity. In contrast, traditional supporters of Pakistan within the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) have shown restraint. Countries like Saudi Arabia and the UAE are reportedly distancing themselves from Islamabad’s position, with the UAE even offering to mediate between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. Turkey has limited its involvement to official statements, while the United States has indicated a hands-off approach. U.S. Vice President JD Vance recently stated that the India-Pakistan conflict is “not his business,” hinting at a broader recalibration of U.S. foreign policy in South Asia.

Cybersecurity Alert and Public Advisories

With cyber warfare between India and Pakistan escalating, Indian authorities are urging citizens to secure their digital presence. Citizens are advised to use strong passwords for Wi-Fi networks, phones, and email accounts to avoid becoming soft targets in the cyber conflict. Cyberattacks, even on individuals, are viewed by adversaries as symbolic victories, and the public has been urged to stay vigilant online.

Meanwhile, the activation of air raid sirens in cities like Chandigarh is being described as a standard wartime control protocol. Authorities have assured citizens that there is no cause for panic and urged restraint in sharing unverified information, especially regarding essential commodities such as fuel. The government has committed to issuing official statements should any real shortages arise.

As tensions remain high, Indian defense forces are maintaining operational readiness, and officials have warned that any further provocation from Pakistan will be met with a decisive and overwhelming response.

Tamil Nadu Man Muhammad Abdul Azim Shares Pro-Pakistani Posts On Instagram Amid War, Deletes & Apologizes After Severe Backlash

tvs pakistan

In the wake of the recent horrific Pahalgam Hindu massacre, where 26 innocent Hindu pilgrims were brutally killed, some individuals continue to push hypocritical narratives, urging India not to retaliate against Pakistan-based terrorists. Disturbingly, certain anti-national elements are now circulating videos showing Pakistani citizens burning the Indian national flag and photos of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi—an alarming trend that raises serious concerns about internal sympathies with hostile foreign interests.

One such case involves a social media user named Muhammad Abdul Azim, who allegedly shared a status video showing people holding Pakistani flags while burning images of PM Modi and the Indian flag. The video is believed to be of Pakistani origin, but what shocked many was that Azim reportedly works at TVS in Tamil Nadu.

In another alleged post, he reportedly shared a message claiming, “Pakistan’s missile has destroyed an Indian aircraft. Allahu Akbar,” appearing to celebrate the act with a religious exclamation.

In another controversial post, he reportedly wrote, “Dua for Pakistan. As-salamu alaykum, please pray for our Pakistani Muslim our Islamic relatives should not suffer any loss of life. No matter how bad they are. They are our people.” 

In a recent post, after facing backlash and being exposed for his anti-India posts, he released a video apology, claiming his actions were a mistake and promising not to repeat them. Following the apology, he deleted all the controversial content from his social media accounts.

Sharing such content during a period of heightened tension between India and Pakistan not only undermines national unity but also sets a dangerous precedent. Netizens have since called on authorities to take strict legal action against individuals promoting anti-India propaganda.

Pune Engineering Student Khadija Sheikh Arrested, Rusticated For Instagram Post Supporting Pakistan Amid War

khadija sheikh sinhagad college engineering student pune arrested rusticated pakistan

A 20-year-old engineering student from Pune has been arrested and rusticated from her college following a controversial Instagram story in which she shared posts praising Pakistan and allegedly criticizing India’s military response in the wake of the Pahalgam massacre.

The accused, identified as Khadija Shahabuddin Sheikh, a second-year Information Technology student at Sinhgad Academy of Engineering, Kondhwa Budruk, was arrested by Kondhwa Police on Thursday.

Hindus protested that she be arrested for posting pro-Pakistani content and supporting the enemy nation.

The arrest was made under the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS) after a police constable lodged a formal complaint. According to police sources, Sheikh had shared screenshots of tweets made by Pakistani nationals, one of which included the phrase “Pakistan Zindabad” and another that referred to “Hindutva extremism.” These posts were uploaded shortly after India’s retaliatory strikes on Pakistani positions under Operation Sindoor, which followed the killing of 26 Indian tourists in Pahalgam by Pakistan-backed militants.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (Zone 5) Rajkumar Shinde confirmed the arrest, stating, “She has been booked under Sections 152, 196, 197, 299, 352, and 353 of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita. The content she shared had the potential to incite unrest, especially during this sensitive period. Further investigation is underway.”

While the police have not formally disclosed Sheikh’s intent behind the Instagram story, officials said her posts could be interpreted as anti-national in nature and potentially disruptive to public harmony. Her Instagram account has since been deleted.

In a related development, Sinhgad Academy of Engineering has issued a formal rustication letter to Sheikh. The letter, signed by In-charge Principal Dr. K. M. Gaikwad cited her “anti-national sentiments” and stated that her actions violated the institution’s code of conduct. “While this institution recognises the right to free expression, it also expects students to exercise such rights responsibly and within the bounds of the law,” the letter read. “Your posts have been deemed to undermine the reputation of the college and may incite disharmony within the campus community and society.”

The rustication is effective from 9 May 2025, and follows growing calls for accountability and civic responsibility in academic institutions amid heightened national security concerns.

“S**tha M**du Da L*v*d* K* B*l”: Netflix Editorial Creative Arshad Wahid Abuses Supreme Court Advocate Sai Deepak Who Called For Finishing Terror Country Pakistan

By
The Commune
-

As tensions escalate between India and Pakistan—with the Islamist terror state launching drones and missiles across the border—India’s leftist and Dravidianist virtue-signallers have gone into overdrive, preaching “peace,” “de-escalation,” and reminding us that “humans live in Pakistan too,” as if hollow moralism can shield us from enemy fire.

These individuals, whether residing in India or abroad, are often seen preaching peace to India while conveniently ignoring Pakistan’s continued support for terrorism and cross-border attacks that harm innocent civilians.

One such individual recently exposed is Arshad Wahid, known on X as @vettichennaiguy. He drew criticism after showing disdain for nationalist voices supporting the Indian Army’s cross-border counterterror operations. These operations successfully neutralized nine terror camps and eliminated high-profile terrorists whom India had long been requesting Pakistan to hand over through diplomatic channels.

Wahid suffered a meltdown on spewed hate and abuse on social media in response to a tweet by Supreme Court advocate Sai Deepak, who had called for a decisive end to cross-border terrorism with a patriotic message, 
“Finish the job this time once and for all! Veera Vel Vetri Vel! Har Har Mahadev! Jai Bhavani! Jai Jai Shri Ram! #BharatMataKiJai.”

Wahid responded with vulgar abuse in Tamil, saying, “s**tha m**du da l*v*dek*b*l,” reflecting the hostility often shown by those sympathetic to anti-India elements.

The backlash was swift. After being called out by nationalist users, Wahid locked his X (formerly Twitter) account. What shocked many was his professional background—he is reportedly part of the Editorial & Publishing team at Netflix India, focusing on South Indian content.

According to his LinkedIn profile, he had earlier worked with Buzzfeed, an American news and entertainment digital media company.

He didn’t stop even after being called out. Instead, he took to his Instagram page and shared a post from the handle “Savala Vada,” which sarcastically claimed, “Anti-war is now anti-national.” Ironically, “Savala Vada” is widely regarded as a propaganda outlet that frequently echoes narratives pushed by media networks known for their anti-India bias—such as Al Jazeera and The Caravan, both of which have often been criticized for promoting agendas contrary to India’s national interests.

This incident highlights a growing concern about Dravidianists and anti-nationals using their platforms to subtly or overtly support narratives that go against national interest, even while being part of influential organizations within India.

Chinese Mouthpiece Global Times Amplifies Pakistani Propaganda, IAF Denies Reports Of S-400 Destruction By Pakistani JF-17 Jets

global times fake news pakistani propagand s-400 iaf

In a sharp escalation of the ongoing information warfare between India, Pakistan, and clandestinely by China, the Indian Air Force (IAF) has categorically denied claims that its S-400 air defence system stationed in Adampur was destroyed by Pakistan Air Force (PAF) fighter jets.

The claim, first circulated by Pakistan’s state-run broadcaster PTV News, alleged that JF-17 Thunder jets armed with hypersonic missiles had successfully targeted and destroyed India’s S-400 system in Punjab’s Adampur region. The S-400, a sophisticated Russian-made air defence platform, is considered one of India’s most critical strategic assets and is estimated to be worth approximately $1.5 billion.

Adding fuel to the fire, Chinese state media joined the narrative. The Global Times amplified the PTV report in a post on platform X, asserting that “Pakistan Air Force’s JF-17 Thunder’s hypersonic missiles have destroyed India’s S-400 system in Adampur.” The report was by China’s Xinhua News Agency, which cited “military sources” in stating that Pakistan had struck the S-400 system in Punjab.

However, the Indian Air Force swiftly dismissed these reports as false. A senior IAF spokesperson on Saturday stated that Pakistan’s claim that its hypersonic missiles fired from JF-17 fighter jets destroyed India’s S-400 air defence system in Adampur was false.

The development comes amid heightened tensions along the India-Pakistan border, particularly around Punjab, where Operation Sindoor is currently underway. In related updates, Indian Army officials confirmed that several armed drones originating from Pakistan were shot down over Khasa Cantonment near Amritsar earlier today.

Observers view the coordinated media campaign as part of a broader Sino-Pakistani information warfare effort aimed at undermining India’s defence credibility. Strategic analysts have cautioned against taking such claims at face value, highlighting the growing trend of psychological and narrative-based warfare in the region.

Woke Leftist Singer TM Krishna Calls Himself A “Pacifist” Amid Operation Sindoor, Had A Problem With Bharathiyar’s Patriotic Songs For Being “Violent”

tm krishna operation sindoor bharathiyar patriotic violent pacifist

Just as India announced to the world about the success of Operation Sindoor on 7 May 2025 in retaliation for the gruesome terror attack in Pahalgam in April 2025, leftists and anti-nationals started their bangle breaking and virtue signalling.

Among those who preached peace was the woke leftist ‘singer’ TM Krishna. He took to his X handle that day to advocate for peace. He wrote, “I am a pacifist, don’t be afraid to say it.”

This led to a huge outrage among netizens for his preaching, especially given the fact that it was retaliation for the attack, and it was Pakistan who has been clandestinely harbouring terrorists to attack India time and again.

It later came to light that TM Krishna has a problem with our freedom fighters and their patriotic songs as well. Here is an example. In what can be assumed to be a video discussion, Krishna is seen talking about Bharathiyar’s song Parukulle Nalla Naadu.

He mentions the lyrics of the song “… Dheerathile Padai Veerathile. Nenjil Eerathile Ubagarathile”

Now he finds the words “Padai veeram” problematic because he feels it doesn’t seem violent when it is sung!

Here’s what he said, “It is not entirely a non-violent song. You wouldn’t have heard an ounce of violence in the way I sang. That is an interesting thing. What is the music doing, what are the lyrics doing here? Violence is a conceptual idea. “Dheerathile Padai Veerathile”, so when he says “Padai Veerathile”, he is talking about the courage of the force. Dheerathile Padai Veerathile, Nenjil Eerathile Ubagarathile – Nenjil Eerathile is a classic Tamil expression. But Dheerathile Padai Veerathile – so where is force, and what is the role of force, and what is music doing to the idea of force. Did you hear force differently? Does something else happen to the notion of ‘Padai Veeram’ when it is sung rather than I explain? Is it a different sensibility enunciation? It is a very curious question. Is it not as violent when it is sung in Jaunpuri? Is it a different sense? I think these are all important things to explore because we are talking of the musicality of this piece. So please remember one important thing: all great poetry cannot be sung. There is great poetry that can be read.”

‘Protecting Corrupt, Threatening Honest Officers’ – Retired IAS Officer Sagayam’s Scathing Attack On DMK Govt Amid Granite Scam Probe

By

ias officer sagayam granite scam probe dmk

Retired IAS officer U Sagayam has strongly criticized the ruling DMK government, labeling it as an authoritarian regime that protects the corrupt while punishing those who work with honesty and expose scams. In a recent interview with a private YouTube media channel, Sagayam expressed outrage after being stripped of his security cover just before he was scheduled to appear before the special court in Madurai investigating the massive granite scam.

Sagayam explained that despite earlier orders from the Madras High Court to provide him armed protection after he exposed the granite mining scam, his security detail was withdrawn in 2020 and only reinstated after court intervention. However, in 2023, his security was again removed. Citing threats to his life, he said he was unable to appear before the special court as summoned.

Slamming the DMK government, he said, “I continue to discuss this issue in the media. I assert that it is shameful to turn this into a major topic of discussion. Who are they providing protection to? Corruption is a crime, and corrupt are criminals. According to the Prevention of Corruption Act, corruption is indeed a crime, and the corrupt are criminals. But who have you given protection to today? Have you not provided protection to any corrupt individuals? But if you fight against corruption and expose the plundering of our natural resources in the Tamil homeland, revealing that it amounts to a loss of one lakh crores, you are threatening my security concerns. There is no democracy here. How many times must I state this? I keep asking. Making this a public topic of discussion is not good at all; it is both ugly and shameful. Provide me with the list of those you have protected. I am telling you who they are and what kind of people you are protecting. I want to safeguard the natural resources of this country, our homeland, the Tamil homeland, and ensure they are passed on to the next generation.”

He then slammed, “I have done this by risking my life to protect my land and considering my position as nothing. But if you have arbitrarily removed this protection granted by the High Court today, how anti-democratic you are, if you say that you are refusing to provide protection to the one who fought for the protection of the Tamil land, then I say that you are conducting politics against this land.” 

When asked if there was a motive behind the removal of his security, Sagayam responded, “Absolutely. If not, why do they suddenly do it? There is definitely an ulterior motive. There is no democracy in the actions of our politicians and police officers. Even today, they exercise their power with the same attitude as the landlords of the royal or colonial eras. There is no democracy there. There is no truth or justice there. How do they do it? When I was the collector of Madurai district, I submitted that report. Two days after submitting the report, I was thrown out. After that, I was appointed to a Cooptex that had been in decline for 15 years, a cooperative company that was operating at a loss. I turned it into a profitable company in a year and a half. The Dhoti Day that I introduced has now become a business worth hundreds of crores for many private textile companies. I have received two national awards. Following that, when I had a disagreement with the minister, I was transferred to the Indian Medical Department. Even before I could join there, I was reassigned to Science City within 48 hours. What crime did I do? Is being honest a crime? If you claim that being honest is a crime, then remove your laws. What is the purpose of the Prevention of Corruption Act? Remove all your laws and declare that everyone can be corrupt. If you believe that being honest is a crime in your political ideology, then why do you have a law? Why is there a directorate? Why are you arresting ordinary village administrative officers, sub-collectors, and sub-inspectors who take 500, 1,000, or 5,000 rupees? Have you taken any action against corrupt individuals who are loot public property worth 500 crores or 5,000 crores? Today, the situation has reached a point where we must ask such questions. They are supporting these corrupt granite scamsters and are taking no action against me or my report. They hold a grudge against me.”

Sagayam raised concerns over the lack of action on his report exposing corruption within TAMIN, a Tamil Nadu government-owned firm, which he said had resulted in a loss of ₹5,000 crore to the state exchequer.

Sagayam went on to directly question the Tamil Nadu government’s commitment to preserving the state’s natural wealth. “This is what I want to ask the Tamil Nadu government, What is the policy of the Tamil Nadu government regarding the protection of natural resources? They have the greater responsibility. You are not the ones who came to destroy it. We have given you our authority and our tax money. The citizens who provide this authority and tax money are the true masters, not you. You are not kings, zamindars, or landlords; you are the servants of the people. You must fulfill your duty. We must recognize that you are all public servants, and the people are the masters. You should understand this; it is the truth. You receive power and tax money from the people for what purpose? To take responsibility for the welfare of the people, to protect their rights, and to safeguard the mineral resources that belong to the people—not to destroy them. However, you are failing in this duty. You’re destroying them. History will judge you without bias in the future. It will not concern itself with individual identities. When all this fame and these circumstances are long gone, history will judge calmly and clearly against you. If you have the responsibility to protect natural resources, what kind of duty are you fulfilling? What principles guide you in protecting these resources? What actions have you taken? What justice will you provide to the social activists who have been harmed?”

He also highlighted the hypocrisy of the DMK government, noting that while it has offered financial compensation amounting to several lakhs of rupees to victims of illicit liquor tragedies, it has failed to provide any support or compensation to whistleblowers such as Jagabar Ali who was recently murdered for exposing illegal mining activities in the state.

Sagayam said, “Even today, no compensation has been given to Jagabar Ali. Consider the poor individuals who died after consuming illicit liquor in Kallakurichi; you provided them with compensation in lakhs. Yet, what about that son born into a humble Islamic family who loved this land? He was an incomparable individual, a father responsible for educating and raising three children and two daughters, and he has been killed. What relief have you offered? Karur Jagannathan? Think about it: what justice has been given to them, and what justice will you provide in the future?”

Sagayam criticized the state’s inaction under the Whistleblowers Protection Act, saying Tamil Nadu has failed to enforce a central law meant to safeguard those exposing corruption. “There is a Whistleblower Protection Act for social activists, yet I accuse you of not implementing a law in Tamil Nadu that could protect those who seek to bring such truths to light. Hasn’t India enacted a law to protect them? Hasn’t the Indian government enacted such a law 20 years ago? It has not been implemented, nor has it provided them with protection. When will you implement that law to safeguard them? What kind of immediate and permanent action are you going to take against those who illegally plundered mineral resources here? Tell me, and if you do that, I am ready to salute you.”
