Google’s Gemini AI – Shows Racial, Religious Discrimination, Political Bias, Peddles False Narratives, & Supports Paedophiles

By
The Commune
-

Google’s AI chatbot, Gemini, is facing significant backlash from internet users, particularly due to its dissemination of false information, providing objectionable responses, and for the propagation of biased content when responding to prompts related to current events and political topics.

Gemini, an AI-driven chatbot developed by Google DeepMind, was unveiled on 6 December 2023 and competes with OpenAI’s GPT-4. It faced widespread criticism for displaying anti-white bias, but there are additional instances where it goes beyond being biased. The engine is deemed as racist, narcissistic, and opinionated, exhibiting a well-thought-out approach. Some examples of such instances are provided below.

Racial Bias

Upon requesting an image of a white couple, Gemini AI refused to do it, yet it readily generated multiple images of a black couple. The concern is not limited to creating a divide between black and white individuals but extends to a broader division involving all kinds of races.

Political Bias

In another scenario, when prompted to compose a poem on the current and former President of the USA, Gemini willingly crafted one for Joe Biden. However, to the surprise of the user, it expressed regret, stating that it couldn’t create a poem in the style of Donald Trump. It emphasized the importance of using “respectful and inclusive” language and offered an apology for its inability to do so.

Similarly, Gemini exhibited favorable responses to Jill Biden while displaying bias by citing seemingly trivial reasons for Melania Trump, indicating a partiality in its reactions.

Unusual Perspective

In a different incident, the Gemini AI chatbot displayed a failure to condemn paedophilia, instead argued that individuals with such tendencies were not inherently evil. The chatbot advised the user against labeling them negatively, emphasizing the potential harm in doing so and provided a lesson on the concept of “hate.” This raised concerns among internet users, leading to questions about whether Google’s Gemini is perceived as supportive of pedophiles, even using the term “minor-attracted persons” (MAPS). This resulted in ridicule on the internet.

Indian Context

Gemini AI showed similar characteristics and offered responses similar to the ones we saw above in the Indian context. Let’s examine them.

Controversial Depiction

When an Indian user requested the generation of a political map of India, Gemini AI responded with bias by depicting Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (POK) as separated from India. 

Religious Discrimination

Despite expectations that Google’s Gemini AI was trained to exhibit racist and politically narcissistic behavior, it surprisingly displayed a severe religious discrimination bias. When the user provided a derogatory instruction in the prompt to deliver a picture of a Hindu, Gemini readily responded. However, when asked to provide images with Muslims for the same prompt, it apologized, stating it was unable to process the request due to its guidelines, emphasizing that generating images with derogatory content was disrespectful to religious beliefs.

Peddles Fake Narratives

When a user inquired, “How is Rahul Gandhi a member of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty?” the response stated, “Rahul Gandhi is a member of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty through his family lineage. His paternal grandfather was Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first Prime Minister, and his grandmother was Indira Gandhi, who also served as Prime Minister. His father, Rajiv Gandhi, and mother, Sonia Gandhi, were both Prime Minister as well.” However, as everyone knows the AI response could not establish how the family acquired the surname “Gandhi,” but to the user’s dismay, it inaccurately asserted that Sonia Gandhi also served as Prime Minister. This response garnered widespread sharing and mockery from social media users.

Finally when Google’s Gemini AI questioned if PM Modi is a ‘fascist,’ Gemini stated that he has been “accused of implementing policies some experts have characterized as fascist.” Upon further inquiry, Gemini offered a nuanced response regarding PM Modi, acknowledging accusations of fascism while highlighting differing perspectives. it triggered a social media uproar and has prompted MeitY to take action. 

Rajeev Chandrasekhar, the Union Minister, addressed a user’s complaint on X, asserting that Google’s Gemini AI tool exhibits bias against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and violates IT rules and other laws, including criminal statutes. Chandrasekhar emphasized these actions were direct breaches of Rule 3(1)(b) of Intermediary Rules, urging additional measures and notifying Google and the Ministry of Electronics and IT. He highlighted the need for basic due diligence from intermediaries like Google to maintain immunity from third-party content. The Twitter user labeled Gemini AI as woke and malicious, prompting Chandrasekhar’s response. Elon Musk’s criticism of Google’s AI image generation engine as racist further fueled concerns, with Chandrasekhar agreeing with Musk’s viewpoint.

Galatta Tamil Romanticizes Rabid Abusive DMK Speaker Who Threatened To Kill Guv And Abused Annamalai, Khushbu, EPS

By
The Commune
-

The recent reinstatement of the controversial DMK member Sivaji Krishnamurthy into the party, was met with extensive criticism from social media, political parties and commentators. In an apparent attempt to pacify the situation, the Dravidian media on YouTube has embarked on a campaign to portray him as a hero. This includes slow-motion videos, poignant dialogues depicting him as a victim of circumstances, along with somber background tunes.

Sivaji Krishnamurthy, an aggressive provocateur notorious for delivering hate-filled speeches and often employing offensive language to criticize opposition figures including Bharatiya Janata Party State President K Annamalai, AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi Palaniswami, former Chief Minister O. Panneer Selvam, VK Sasikala, Khushbu, and others, has been featured in interviews by several Tamil Dravidianist YouTube channels like Galatta Voice, Aadhan Cinema, Metro Mail, and others.

Recently, the official X handle of Devendran Palanisamy, the host of Galatta Tamil, posted a teaser video with the caption, “The plight of DMK speaker Sivaji Krishnamurthy”

Devandran Palanisamy, a prominent advocate of Dravidian ideologies and a regular participant in spirited debates with Rangaraj Pandey of Chanakyaa, consistently aligns himself with the DMK and its ideology. In this recent interview, his approach mirrored his usual stance with safe play in the guise of questions.

Devendran establishes the “poor” conditions in which Krishnamurthy is living – right from the inaccessibility to his home, to the very small-sized residence, stating that a politician is expected to live in fancy houses but that the same was not true of Krishnamurthy. He shows his “portion” of the house where he lives and says the house was destroyed by ADMK cadre many years ago. He also ensures to establish the fact that his house was inundated during the 2015 floods but was safe during the recent 2023 floods.

Krishnamurthy also manages to establish the sorrowful narrative by saying that prison has better facilities than his own home.

Sivaji Krishnamurthy presents himself as the son of the patriot Jayaraman, a freedom fighter. He expresses admiration for Sivaji (actor) and that he was inspired to engage in public speaking. He proudly states that MGR initiated a defamation case against him in the 1980s.

When Devendran commented that filing defamation cases was not a new practice, Krishnamurthy swiftly responded, saying, “You are thinking it always wrong, on what basis do you call slander? Devendran commented “MGR initiated case, based on something on that” Krishnamurthy responded “Yes that time… what I think is that, this is not a case for slander speech, it is a case for disturbing the crowd that attends my speech. I’m seeing till today as a case for disturbing me. Look, this is North Chennai, I was born in the same house that you just saw, I don’t know how you can expect someone who grew up here and moved here without talking like this.”

Immediately Devendran questioned “If you are born in North Chennai, do you have to speak derogatory words like this?” Krishnamurthy  replied “Why do you take it as bad words, take only the content of what I say, why do you take it as bad words?“. He shared an anecdote to illustrate his point. He spoke of a Lord Murugan devotee who went to the temple but encountered an accident after he returned and that the victim’s parents ended up blaming Lord Murugan Himself. Mirroring the same approach, he emphasized that in his speech, he criticizes them in a similar justified manner.

During Krishnamurthy’s speech, it became evident that he was influenced by inaccurate information, claiming that the BJP promised to provide 2 lakh jobs annually but failed too keep and asserted that they will deposit ₹15 lakhs in bank accounts, which they did not fulfill. Later, when discussing the 2024 elections, he asserted that it would be another freedom struggle. He argued that farmers in Delhi are facing increasing oppression. In a typical fashion, the interview linked everything to the inauguration of the Ram temple and questioned its significance.

Devendran questioned “DMK is dynastic political party, a corrupt party? Krishnamurthy swiftly responded, saying, “I have an answer for that, if you do not have an heir, go to a doctor, do not trouble us. We have an heir, we will bring them to the fore. You question the dynastic politics. We had Kalaignar, now Stalin is the chief minister, on what basis do you say he is an heir? His first post in the DMK was that of a MISA prisoner. He then grew up in the ranks.” Then he recounted the typical DMK narrative, detailing how he joined the party and became an MISA accused, and so forth.

Finally Krishnamurthy strongly asserted saying, “Sivaji Krishnamurthy, He will be like this all the time he lives, he will be like this till he dies, so I don’t see whether we are in power or not, I was not arrested when we were not in power, but got arrested only in power.”

The Commune has reported earlier on the abusive behaviour of Sivaji Krishnamurthy – he left no stone unturned in terms of abusing BJP members or instigating violence against the Tamil Nadu Governor.

YouTuber Dhruv Rathee’s Video Is So Fake That Leftists Themselves Are Questioning Its Veracity

By
The Commune
-

German resident and YouTuber Dhruv Rathee’s video “Is India becoming a DICTATORSHIP?” has evoked a lot of reactions on social media. Surprisingly, the criticism comes from the left stable. Dilip Mandal, a self-styled activist and columnist who is known for his tirade against Hinduism and Brahmins has called out the falsities in the video.

Dilip Mandal posted on social media platform X about the video. He pointed out the fake news that had been passed off as “facts” in the video. As expected, alleged fact-checker Mohammed Zubair shared Rathee’s video which Mandal called out and requested him to fact-check the claims made in the video. Mandal wrote, “Dear Zubair, Delete this tweet. You are a fact-checker. So, before endorsing anything you must do the fact-checking. #DhruvRathee is spreading fake news. At 9:15 in his video, he states that there is an expenditure limit for parties regarding election expenses. Based on this, he claims that the BJP should not have spent more than 415 crore in the 2019 elections, whereas the Election Commission’s website mentions that the BJP spent 1264 crore, which he labels as malpractice. This claim is false, and he could potentially be tried for spreading such misinformation. There is no limit for parties on election expenditure.”

So What Did Mandal Flag In The Video? 

Mandal pointed out the false claim of expenditure limits during elections for parties. In the video, at around 9.12, Rathee says, “Even today, the Election Commission has set a limit on how much money can be spent on an MLA election and an MP election. In an MP election, the limit is ₹9.5 million. BJP contested the election on 437 seats. So, the total spending of the party should not have been more than ₹4.15 billion. But how much did they spend? It is written on the website of the Election Commission, ₹12.64 billion. how did the Election Commission allow this? The Center for Media Studies also estimated that the BJP had spent ₹270 billion in the previous elections. Which was 45% of the total expenditure. If you look at the data of today, electoral bonds worth ₹160 billion have been sold. Out of these ₹160 billion, more than ₹100 billion went to BJP, ₹15 billion to Congress and ₹8 billion to TMC. All these amounts surpass the spending limit of the election.”

Rathee fails to talk about the Congress which spent ₹820 crores in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. 

So is there a limit set for parties? There is a spending limit for candidates and not essentially for parties. The Election Commission of India increased expenditure limits for Lok Sabha and Assembly constituency candidates a few years ago. ECI website states that Lok Sabha limits were raised from ₹54-70 lakh to ₹70-95 lakh, and Assembly limits increased from ₹20-28 lakh to ₹28-40 lakh. Candidates must account for spending on campaigns, meetings, ads, and more. Expenditure statements must be submitted within 30 days post-election. Exceeding limits can lead to disqualification. Critics found limits unrealistic, with a 2019 bill proposing their removal. Parties have no caps but must report expenses within 90 days of elections.

Another left-liberal and WSJ columnist Sadanand Dhume questioned the theme of the video itself. Dhume found the idea of the comparison of India with North Korea ridiculous. He wrote on his X handle, “This @dhruv_rathee video criticizing democratic backsliding in India over the past decade has garnered more than 10 MILLION views in three days. Whether you agree with Rathee or not—personally I find comparing India with North Korea ridiculous—it’s clear that many people seek video content critical of Modi and the BJP. They will look for it on YouTube if they can’t find it on India’s mostly supine TV news channels. [Video, Hindi, 30m]”

Is Rathee right in comparing India to North Korea? The fact that Rathee can create videos critical of Modi, critical of India, and remain unharmed is evidence of India’s democratic nature. In North Korea, a 100% election turnout doesn’t equate to democracy. A question comes up in this case whether the BJP restricts other parties like Congress, AAP, and JDU from contesting elections. India is such a democracy that even people like Kamal Haasan or Rakhi Sawant can contest the elections, and get votes, but can any layman contest elections in North Korea? In North Korea, if someone speaks against those in power they are executed and the same does not happen in India. 

What Other Lies Does Rathee Spread In The video?

Here is a list of the lies spread in the Dhruv Rathee video. 

Modi used the military to get votes: Rathee presented a video where Modi encouraged first-time voters to vote for the army. Modi specifically suggested that first-time votes dedicate their votes to the memory of Pulwama martyrs, and he did not explicitly ask them to vote for the BJP. It is noteworthy that Modi is probably the only PM who has been celebrating Diwali with Jawans for years. 

Horse-Trading Of MLAs: Rathee vividly portrays how MPs and MLAs allegedly enter resorts, take money, and then confess to their families about selling the nation for personal gain. Is it the BJP’s fault that if people want to shift loyalties, they choose the BJP rather than their own party?  On the horse-trading allegation, Rathee also states, “Investigative agencies are responsible for investigative agencies dance to the tune of a single political party, then who will investigate these allegations?”

Weaponisation Of ED, CBI: Rathee accuses the BJP of using central agencies like the ED and CBI for political gain. He said, “Last year 14 political parties had complained to the Supreme Court about how the government is using CBI and ED against opposition leaders. They said that they have carried out more than 3,000 raids on political leaders. If you compare it with 2014, you can see a 4 fold jump in the number of ED cases against politicians. And 95% of the cases are registered against opposition parties. In response, ED said that their conviction rate is very high. The conviction rate is 96% because the trials in 25 cases are over and there was a conviction in 24 cases. But the truth is that from 2005 till now, ED has registered more than 5,900 cases. The trial was conducted in only 25 cases. And the conviction was in only 24 cases. That translates to only 0.5% of the cases being substantial.”

Arun Jaitley, a deceased member of the BJP, wrote an elaborate article on how the Congress manipulated the CBI. CBI director, Ranjit Sinha, allegedly stated that the UPA would have preferred charging Amit Shah in the Ishrat Jehan case, but CBI found no evidence. Sinha later issued an unconvincing clarification. Jaitley’s article highlights historical instances of manipulating the CBI, citing the Emergency’s abuse and UPA’s control over the agency. Directors were allegedly offered post-retirement positions for compliance. The letter to the Prime Minister outlined false implications against BJP leaders. Despite Sinha’s denial, the article contends that evidence exists, questioning the CBI’s independence.

Rathee says Manipur was burning for 77 days but has not spoken a word on the Sandeshkhali riots. He has not questioned the dictatorial behaviour of the Mamata-run West Bengal government. Members of the fact-checking committee on their way to Sandeshkhali were arrested at Bhojerhat, South 24 Parganas. 

However, Rathee does not raise an eyebrow with regard to Sandeshkhali or Mamata or how the DMK government in Tamil Nadu issues summonses and arrests people critical of the government.

Dravidian Model HR&CE Removes Sacred Thiruneer (Ash) From Sage Vallalar’s Forehead

By
The Commune
-

The dissemination of false information throughout history is not a novel tactic for the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam government in Tamil Nadu. Even in the contemporary era, when confronted, they persist in employing this strategy, particularly targeting Hindu Dharma, despite proclaiming themselves as secularists and atheists on numerous occasions. Presently, the narrative surrounding the portrayal of Ramalinga Adigalar, commonly known as Vallalar, a staunch believer in Shaivism who composed many songs dedicated to Lord Murugan and Shiva, has sparked controversy. The Hindu Religious & Charitable Endowment Department’s depiction of Vallalar without “Vibuthi” or Thiruneer or sacred ash has stirred a significant uproar on social media.

Netizens quoted his Nenjararivuruthal poem where he advises his own mind to not be associated with those who don’t wear Neeru (sacred ash) everyday. They also likened it to the instance of secularising Thiruvalluvar.

Vallalar’s Life – A Divine Journey Of Enlightenment And Compassion

Vallalar, also known as Ramalinga Adigalar, was a 19th-century Tamil saint and philosopher who played a significant role in the Bhakti movement in South India. Born on 5 October 1823, in Marudur, Chidambaram, Vallalar dedicated his life to spiritual pursuits and the service of humanity. He was a devoted follower of Lord Murugan and Lord Shiva.

Ramalingam’s spiritual journey began at a young age, marked by divine experiences that shaped his profound connection with the divine. At just five months old, his joyous reaction during a temple ritual at Chidambaram Natarājar Temple was perceived by him as a deep spiritual encounter, describing the moment as the revelation of the Divine Light of Grace (Arut Perum Jodhi). Following his father’s death in 1824, Ramalingam and his mother moved to Chennai, where he displayed disinterest in formal education but developed a deep affinity for the nearby Kandha Kottam Kandha Swāmi Temple. Despite facing disciplinary measures from his elder brother, Sabhapati, for neglecting his studies, Ramalingam’s spiritual inclinations grew stronger. In a remarkable experience, Ramalingam witnessed a vision of Lord Muruga, describing the divine manifestation with the words, “Six divine faces adorned with beauty and twelve illustrious shoulders.”

His intellectual and spiritual growth accelerated, and at the age of thirteen, he renounced the worldly life. Despite being forced into marriage, legends recount his disinterest in material pursuits, with his focus on spiritual practices and devotion. His later life was characterized by a reputed “physical transformation,” as he seemingly transcended ordinary bodily needs.

Vallalar is renowned for his extensive writings, including philosophical poems and devotional hymns. His most famous work is the “Tiruvarutpa,” a collection of poems expressing his deep spiritual insights and devotion to the divine.  Additionally, he crafted the Veeraraghva Panchakam, a poetic composition dedicated to Veeraraghava Perumal situated in Tiruvallur. Among his other notable works is the Manumurai Kanda Vāsagam, providing insights into the life of Manu Needhi Cholan, and the Jeeva Karunya Ozhukkam, which underscores compassion for all living beings and advocates for a plant-based diet.

Vallalar imparted various life principles and a philosophy of life to people. One of Vallalar’s notable contributions was the establishment of the “Samarasa Suddha Sanmarga Sathiya Sangam,” an organization promoting religious tolerance, equality, and humanitarian values. He advocated for the eradication of caste distinctions and encouraged people to see the divine in every being. His Famous sayings “Whenever I saw a withered crop, I withered..!” and advocated vegetarianism and providing free food to the needy.

His teachings and contributions continue to inspire followers, and his memorial, known as the Vallalar’s Samadhi, in Vadalur, Tamil Nadu, serves as a place of pilgrimage for those seeking spiritual solace.

The revered Tamil saint, known for his profound devotion, has faced disrespect as the HR&CE department led by DMK intentionally erased the sacred ash from his forehead. Even the authentic photographs displayed at his mutt depict him adorned with full vibuthi, emanating a divine and radiant aura.

https://twitter.com/StardustRooba/status/1761488072288637305

In films inspired by the verses and songs of Vallalar, actors often portray characters adorned with sacred ash (Vibuthi) on their foreheads. As an illustration, consider a scene from the movie “Kaithi” where the protagonist engages in the recitation of Vallalar’s Thiruvarutpa, chanting praises to Lord Shiva.

“Even if a child forgets its mother
Even if the mother forgets the child
Even if the soul forgets the body
Even if the body forgets the soul
Even if the mind forgets whatever is learnt
Even if the eyes forget to blink
Never shall I forget ever the divine Nama Shivaya which blazes from the heart of the Tapaswis (those in lofty penance).” ( திருஅருட்பா – பெற்ற தாய் தனை மக மறந்தாலும்)

In the film “Monster,” SJ Suryah portrays the character Anjanam Azhagiya Pillai, who has been a devout follower of Vallalar since his early years. This deep-rooted connection with spirituality has instilled in him a profound respect for all living beings. Below are the representations from the movie.

In the poem “Nenjararivuruthal” (Guidance to the Heart), Vallalar counsels his own mind states, “Oh heart, refrain from forming connections with those who do not adorn themselves regularly with Thiruveneeru (Sacred Ash). Don’t be mesmerized by those who talk to you. Avoid relationships with those who argue with you. Refrain from associating with who criticize Shaivism, Thiruveneeru, and those who engage in debates questioning the existence of the true God.”

Devotees in many households have revered images of this saint, depicting him with divine grace and a sacred vibuthi/thiruneer/ash mark on his forehead. However, there is widespread speculation on social media regarding a narrative promoted by the HR&CE department. This narrative draws parallels with their alleged actions against Thiruvalluvar, stripping him of his Hindu identity. Now, concerns are raised that the DMK government is poised to target Vallalar Ramalingarnar in a similar manner.

Secularizing Attempt On Thiruvalluvar

Thiruvalluvar, a revered Tamil saint and poet, has similarly faced ongoing attempts to secularize and obscure his original Hindu identity. Political agendas particularly DMK have promoted incomplete artistic representations in the guise of secularism. However, a closer examination of the words used in his couplets reveals his deep-rooted connection to Hinduism. Thiruvalluvar’s true identity has been intentionally concealed, with political parties fostering distorted depictions to distance him from Hindu traditions.

There are even claims from within a political party that the construction of the sizable Thiruvalluvar statue in Kaniyakumari was a deliberate attempt to overshadow the Swami Vivekananda Memorial, a significant symbol of Santana Dharma. Thiruvalluvar’s genuine identity came to light through a 14th-century statue discovered in Mylapore, exposing various distortions in modern representations, such as covering the yagnopaveetham (sacred thread) with cloth, replacing chin-mudra (upadesa mudra) with an instrument for writing on palm leaves, modifying the pleating of his hair, and elongating his ear holes due to the persistent wearing of earrings.

Displeased By Sister’s Inter-Caste Marriage, Dalit Youth Stabbed To Death In Chennai By 5

By
The Commune
-

The Tamil community is disturbed frequently by the ruthless acts of violence carried out in the name of honour and caste. Despite Tamil Nadu being celebrated by Dravidianists as a champion of social justice with special provisions for inter-caste marriages, there is a disturbing recurrence of such incidents in the state. A recent tragic event unfolded in Pallikaranai, where a youth from a Dalit community was brutally murdered in the capital city, Chennai, right in the middle of the road.

Praveen, a 26-year-old resident of Pallikaranai, developed a romantic relationship with Sharmi from Jalladayampet over the past four months. Despite lacking her family’s approval, Praveen took the bold step of marrying Sharmi. This decision fueled anger within Sharmi’s family, particularly her brother Dinesh, who harbored intentions of revenge.

In a tragic turn of events, Dinesh and three accomplices ambushed Praveen near the Jolly Bay TASMAC bar in Pallikaranai, Chennai, around 9PM on 24 February 2024. They mercilessly hacked him, leading to severe injuries. Prompt action from neighbors resulted in Praveen being rushed  to Crompet Government Hospital in an ambulance. Regrettably, the medical examination at the hospital confirmed his demise during transit.

Upon receiving information about the incident, the Pallikaran police swiftly arrived at the scene to initiate an investigation. Preliminary findings disclosed that the victim was Praveen, a 26-year-old resident of Ambedkar Street, Pallikaranai. Subsequent inquiries by the police unveiled more details about the incident.

Initial police investigations suggest a premeditated attack near the TASMAC bar, where Dinesh, the elder brother, inflicted fatal injuries on Praveen using a knife. Motivated by Praveen’s marriage to Sharmi without her parents’ consent, Dinesh allegedly executed the gruesome act as an act of retribution.

After the murder case was officially registered, the police actively pursued the fugitives and successfully apprehended four individuals, including Dinesh, the woman’s brother, who have all been taken into custody for their roles in the crime. A dedicated team, led by the Police Inspector of Pallikaranai, has been assembled to thoroughly investigate the incident, with ongoing efforts to ascertain if additional individuals were involved.

Recently Reported Honour Killings In Tamil Nadu

On 3 January 2023, a tragic incident unfolded as 19-year-old Ishwarya fell victim to a horrifying honour killing. Shockingly, she was tragically burned to death by her own family for marrying Naveen, a 19-year-old Dalit, on 31 December 2023, with the support of friends in Tirupur. The subsequent police investigation resulted in the arrest of Ishwarya’s father and four other relatives implicated in this appalling act.

https://twitter.com/ItsyourMB/status/1744640244287463892

In a case of honour killing, a man reportedly murdered his mother and son allegedly due to a disagreement over his son marrying a woman from the Scheduled Caste community against his wishes in Krishnagiri district of Tamil Nadu in April 2023.

In October 2021, a 24-year-old Dalit individual, Prabhakaran, succumbed to fatal stab wounds inflicted by the father of a 17-year-old girl with whom he was romantically involved in Kumbakonam, Tamil Nadu.

The recent tragic incident in Tamil Nadu involving an honour killing underscores the absence of dedicated laws to address such atrocities, emphasizing the persistent challenges faced by inter-caste marriages. This case of honour killing in a bustling area of Chennai, has gained substantial public attention. In Tamil Nadu, inter-caste marriages most of ten encounter opposition from parents, relatives, and influential members of society, resulting in cruel acts without hesitation. The prevailing societal norm still largely rejects love marriages, contributing to instances of caste-agnostic killings targeting couples from different caste strata who engage in such unions. Despite the claims of establishing social justice by the Dravidian ideologues over the past decades, honour killings continue to occur in Tamil Nadu.

TN Film Producer Jaffer Sadiq Who Was Seen “Donating” Money During Michaung Cyclone On The Run In ₹2,000 Crore Drug Racket

By
The Commune
-

A Tamil film producer seems to have orchestrated a drug racket that amassed nearly ₹2,000 crore within three years, according to officials from the Narcotics Control Bureau. Customs authorities in New Zealand and Australian police alerted Indian agencies to large quantities of pseudoephedrine, a crucial component in methamphetamine production, being concealed in desiccated coconut powder or health mixes.

Methamphetamine, also known as meth or crystal meth, commands a high price worldwide, fetching around ₹1.5 crore per kg in Australia and New Zealand.

Following information from the US Drug Enforcement Administration linking the shipments to Delhi, a collaborative effort between the Delhi police special cell and the NCB was initiated. After four months of rigorous technical and field surveillance, it was discovered that the operatives were back in Delhi attempting to dispatch another consignment to Australia, as stated by Gyaneshwar Singh, Deputy Director General of the NCB.

Surveillance efforts led the authorities to a warehouse in West Delhi’s Basai Darapur, where gang members were apprehended trying to conceal pseudoephedrine in a multigrain food mix for smuggling. Three gang members were arrested, and 50 kg of the drug was confiscated.

Further investigation revealed that the gang, hailing from Tamil Nadu, had dispatched 45 consignments over three years, totaling 3,500 kg of pseudoephedrine valued at over ₹2,000 crore in the international market. The alleged mastermind, a Tamil film producer named Jaffer Sadiq, is currently on the run, prompting intensive efforts for his apprehension to trace the source of the pseudoephedrine, according to an official.

The NCB has also coordinated with authorities in New Zealand and Australia to apprehend individuals who received the shipments in those countries.

Who Is Jaffer Sadiq?

Jaffer Sadiq, the Tamil film producer on the run in the narcotics case, produced a film called Mangai under the JSM Pictures banner. The film Mangai’s song was released by Udhayanidhi Stalin’s wife Kiruthiga Udhayanidhi.

https://twitter.com/EURONGREYJOY007/status/1761634568157999505

It is noteworthy to recollect that Jaffer Sadiq along with actor/director Ameer met Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin and “donated” 10 lakhs on 17 December 2023 towards Chief Minister’s Relief Fund in the aftermath of the Michaung cyclone in Chennai. Jaffer Sadiq also met TN Minister of Youth Welfare and Sports Development, Udhayanidhi Stalin, and “donated” 2 lakhs towards the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund for Michaung Cyclone. 

Udhayanidhi Stalin also acknowledged this donation and shared a post which has now been deleted. Udhayanidhi, in that post, wrote, “In all areas affected by heavy rains, rescue work and relief assistance are being provided in a systematic manner. In order to join hands with the government in this work, the district deputy organizer of the Chennai West district neighborhood team brother A.R. Zafar Sadiq handed over a check of Rs.2 lakh to us today for the “Chief Minister’s General Relief Fund”. My love and gratitude to him. @nchitrarasu”

The same Jaffer Sadiq is the Deputy Organizer of the Chennai West District Neighborhood Team as well as a part of the DMK NRI Wing as seen from his X bio. 

Jaffer Sadiq has been seen with several MLAs and MPs belonging to the DMK. Here are a few:

https://twitter.com/SaffronSurge3/status/1761672732830539902

 

 

Tamil Nadu Bharatiya Janata Party President K Annamalai shared a post in this regard. He summarised the situation and pointed out how close Jaffer Sadiq was with members of the DMK as well as other politicians. He wrote, “In Delhi, a gang trying to smuggle drugs worth around Rs 2,000 crore has been arrested by the Anti-Narcotics Unit. In the investigation, it has been revealed that these people are from Tamil Nadu and the leader of this gang is Zafar Sadiq, deputy organizer of DMK’s Chennai West district district team, and his brother, Central Chennai Regional Deputy Secretary of the Liberation Tigers of India, Mohammad Salim and Mydeen are his assistants. It has come to light that they may have sent around 3,500 kg of narcotics abroad 45 times in the last three years and have earned thousands of crores of rupees from them.

Zafar Sadiq, Deputy Organizer of DMK’s Chennai West District District Team, who is wanted by Narcotics Control Unit officials, has used this money to produce Tamil films, and the photos of Tamil Nadu Government’s relief fund to Chief Minister Stalin and Minister Udhayanidhi of lakhs of money received from drug trafficking. Photos of him with Shekharbabu and photos of another wanted person, Central Chennai Regional Deputy Secretary of the Liberation Tigers of India, Mohammad Salim, who has given party funds to Vishika leader Thirumavalavan, have surfaced on social media. Also, photos of her in close contact with many directors and actors in the Tamil film industry have also surfaced. Ever since the DMK came to power, the DMK government has repeatedly urged the government to take strict action on behalf of  BJP4Tamilnadu that there is a lot of drug traffic in Tamil Nadu, the influence of drugs has spread even to school students, and the media reports that drugs are widely available in Tamil Nadu. Nothing seems to have been taken. At present, the fact that one person who is in a key position in the DMK has been involved in drug smuggling from Chennai for all these years has raised serious doubts. To avoid further strengthening of these suspicions and bearing in mind that drug trafficking is a war waged on our country, I request on behalf of BJP4Tamilnadu that the Tamil Nadu government immediately identify all those involved in drug trafficking and take strict action.”

The police are also on the lookout for Iraivan Miga Periyavan actor Moideen and one person named Saleem.

Following the news, a note started circulating on social media which stated that disciplinary action was being initiated against Jaffer Sadiq.

Permanent expulsion from the Corporation Deputy Organizer of Chennai West district Neighborhood Team A. Jafar Sadiq has been permanently dismissed from all responsibilities including basic membership as he has violated the organization’s control and brought disrepute to the organization. Members of the association are not allowed to have any contact with him.

Supreme Court Questions DMK Govt Over Filing Writ Petition Challenging ED Summonses To District Collectors In Alleged Sand Mining Case

By
The Commune
-

The Supreme Court raised questions regarding the state government’s decision to seek a stay on summons from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) from the Madras High Court on 23 February 2024. The court noted that the ED was justified in issuing summons to five district collectors of Tamil Nadu in relation to a money laundering case associated with an alleged illegal sand mining case. The court has set a date for further consideration of the matter on 26 February 2024.

The Supreme Court reviewed the ED’s plea challenging a high court order on 28 November 2023, that had temporarily halted the enforcement of summons issued to five district collectors. Justices Bela M Trivedi and Pankaj Mithal presided over the hearing of a special leave petition filed by the ED questioned, “How can the state file this writ petition? Under which law…You satisfy us on how state is interested and how it can file this writ petition against the Enforcement Directorate. How is the state aggrieved? We’ll stay this order.”

Senior advocate Mukul Rohtagi, representing the state government, informed the court that there is no legal prohibition preventing the state from approaching the high court. Assisting him, TN additional advocate general Amit Anand Tiwari highlighted that in the five petitions where the high court issued a common interim order, the collectors of Vellore, Trichy, Karur, Thanjavur, and Ariyalur districts were co-petitioners.

The presiding judges stated, “These offenses fall under the category of scheduled offenses as per the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has the authority to conduct investigations, given that Section 50 of PMLA allows for a preliminary inquiry. Are the district collectors not obligated to collaborate with the investigative agency?”

Additional Solicitor General SV Raju, representing the Enforcement Directorate (ED), informed the court that the recent decision is impeding the ongoing investigation and requested a stay on the High Court order. As Rohatgi sought an extension to submit a response, the court scheduled the matter for Monday. Rohatgi asked for time to provide a reply, stating, “The ED lacks jurisdiction in this case. These issues pertain to federalism, and the state has the right to raise objections.” The Court, without issuing notice on the ED plea, set the matter for Monday to allow an initial response from the state.

Context

The Enforcement Directorate initiated proceedings based on four FIRs in Tamil Nadu related to violations under the Prevention of Corruption Act and other sections of the Indian Penal Code. Following a scientific study conducted by ED using an expert team, it was asserted that the value of sand mining in Tamil Nadu amounted to ₹4,730 crores, significantly higher than the recorded revenue of ₹36.45 crores according to state records.

In a bid to expose the alleged collaboration between state officials and local entities, the Enforcement Directorate  carried out raids at 34 locations across diverse districts. These operations led to the confiscation of cash, incriminating documents, and digital devices. Unaccounted property documents worth crores of rupees were discovered in the residences of individuals such as businessman Pudukottai Ramachandran, Dindigul Ratnam, Karikalan, and Water Resources officials, acting as wholesale agents for sand quarries. Seizures reportedly included ₹12.82 crore in cash and gold jewelry weighing 1,24 grams valued at ₹56.86 lakh.

In response to these events, the Chief Engineer of the Tamil Nadu Government’s Water Resources Department, Muthiah, personally presented documents and provided an explanation at the Enforcement Department office in Nungambakkam.

Following the raids, district collectors were summoned on November 17 under section 50 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). A legal challenge against these summons was filed in the Madras High Court by the Public Works department Secretary, the Additional Chief Secretary of the Water Resources Department, and the respective District Collectors. The High Court, granting an interim stay on the Enforcement Department’s summons, expressed the opinion that the inquiry seemed to exceed the ED’s jurisdiction. It suggested that the summons might be an attempt to investigate potential proceeds of crime related to activities not yet registered by state agencies.

In reaction to the High Court’s decision, an appeal was filed in the Supreme Court on behalf of the Enforcement Directorate challenging the High Court’s order. The state government contended in its petitions that the ED lacked jurisdiction to investigate without state consent, asserting the action as unlawful due to violations of constitutional principles of federalism and the separation of powers. The state maintained that any ED investigation without state consent or constitutional court direction was impermissible.

Allegations of Illegal Sand Mining in Tamil Nadu

Arappor Iyakkam, an anti-corruption NGO, has recently raised serious allegations concerning a significant scandal in Tirunelveli on 22 February 2024. The accusations specifically target DMK MP S Gnanathiraviyam, implicating him in corruption charges related to the illicit mining of rough stone and gravel. The NGO asserts that the corruption scandal has resulted in an estimated government loss exceeding ₹700 Crores, primarily concentrated in the districts of Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu, and Tirupur. Arappor Iyakkam has taken formal action by filing a complaint with the Director of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) in Chennai.

On 25  April 2023, Lourth Francis, a 55-year-old Village Administrative Officer (VAO), met a tragic end when he was ruthlessly attacked and killed within the premises of his office in Murapanadu, Thoothukudi. The assailants, believed to be linked to the sand mafia, targeted Francis, ostensibly due to his efforts in bringing attention to illicit sand mining activities by raising concerns with the district administration and the police in the region.

Annamalai Fact-Checks DMK Govt’s “Fact Checking Unit” On Village Road Schemes

By
The Commune
-

Once again, the so-called Fact-Checking Unit (FCU) of the DMK government has found itself peddling half-truth in order to peddle propaganda.

The current controversy centers on conflicting assertions concerning the originality of village road schemes implemented by both the central and state governments.

The spotlight is now on the DMK government’s Fact Checking Unit, led by Dravidian propagandist Iyan Karthikeyan, recognized for spreading misinformation favoring the DMK. Tamil Nadu BJP chief Annamalai has exposed them, detailing the schemes and highlighting discrepancies. He has not only caught them red-handed but has also raised questions about the inconsistencies in the scheme, urging the release of a white paper.

The TN Fact Checking Unit through its official X handle buttressing DMK refuted the assertion made by BJP leader Annamalai regarding the Muthalamaichar Grama Sallai Menbaatu Thittam (MGSMT), dismissing it as mere speculation. According to the Fact Checking Unit  Annamalai alleged that the State Government had simply rebranded the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) of the Central Government, presenting it as a new initiative named MGSMT.

Unit explianed the MGSMT scheme aims to establish well-constructed roads for village connectivity and execute road development projects in rural areas. It operates solely on state funds, in contrast to the PMGSY, which links villages along roads housing essential facilities like hospitals, colleges, and institutions. The PMGSY specifically focuses on upgrading hill village roads to tar roads, with funding allocated at a ratio of 60% from the central government and 40% from the state government. Therefore, the Union Government’s PMGSY and the State Government’s MGSMT schemes are distinct initiatives.

Discovering this amusing, Tamil Nadu BJP Chief Annamalai issued a statement through his official X handle expressed, “The fact (?) checking unit of the Tamil Nadu government has given a rare explanation in the name of the difference between the rural roads plan of the Prime Minister and the said rural roads plan of the Tamil Nadu government.”

“The Prime Minister’s Rural Roads Scheme was introduced in the year 2000 by the then Prime Minister of India, Bharat Ratna Vajpayee. Under this scheme, which provides tar road facilities to hamlets and hill villages, in the last nine years, ₹5,837 crore has been spent in Tamil Nadu. However, in the districts of Tiruvannamalai, Vellore and Tirupur, there is still a dire situation in Tamil Nadu where dolly are carried for medical treatment in hilly villages without road facilities. If that is the case, it is clear from this that the DMK, which was in power in the Congress alliance for ten years between 2004-2014 at the center, did nothing for the villages of Tamil Nadu.” He said

“The Chief Minister’s Village Roads Project announced by the DMK was announced only in 2023.  Is DMK’s fact-checking unit says that road facilities were not constructed till then in Tamilnadu villages? If road facilities were constructed in the villages before then, with what funds were they carried out? Central government funding or state government funding? Is the Central Government providing funds to Gram Panchayats ? Or the state government?” He questioned

“Apart from this, according to the DMK Government’s Order No. 34 issued on 18.03.2023, under the Chief Minister’s Village Roads Scheme, ₹2,300 crore has been allocated for the year 2022-2023. But, real spending is “zero”. If DMK’s fact-finding unit says this too is wrong, then it should publish a white report on the expenditure of ₹2,300 crore last year.” He demanded

“Why are we asking for a white report? There is a doubt among the public that you have declared the Chief Minister’s Village Roads scheme by name, allocated funds, and are accounting for the works implemented under the funds of the Prime Minister’s Rural Roads Project. Therefore, the DMK government must release a white paper on the ₹2,300 crore allocated for the CM’s rural roads scheme last year.” He further said

“Above all, in the last nine years, the amount of funds given directly to the Gram Panchayats by the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India, Mr.@narendramodi is ₹19,936 crores. The DMK government has asked the panchayats in Tamil Nadu to add all the remaining funds to the treasury of the Tamil Nadu government. It is in this fund that nominally the schemes are announced to the villages. I mentioned this last February 7 while speaking in Arakkonam parliamentary constituency. Will DMK’s fact-finding unit come forward to refute this with evidence?” he further questioned

“If the welfare programs implemented by the central government led by our honorable Prime Minister of India, Mr.@narendramodi, are made available to the public without corruption, bribery, or commission, all the people of Tamil Nadu will benefit. Those who know DMK’s sixty-year history know very well what the purpose of changing the name of the project is, as if wearing a disguise.” He finally said

Netizens discovered the post by the TN Fact-Checking Unit to be sarcastic and proceeded to mock the unit chief D-Stock Iyan Karthikeyan for supporting the DMK blindly . They shared authentic images featuring central government schemes such as Jal Jeevan Mission stickered by DMK, some of which are provided below.

 

Previous Instances Of DMK & its Govt Agencies Peddling Misinformation

Previously on 24 January 2024, The official Tamil Nadu BJP handle released a video alleging severe food shortages at the MGR Stadium in Madurai, claiming athletes were provided only a chapati and a half-boiled egg. Athletes and coaches raised concerns about the inadequate food portions, with reports indicating a private contractor managing the food arrangements. The district administration, including Collector Sangeetha, intervened, assuring prompt resolution of the issues within a day. DMK MP Venkatesan emphasized the potential harm to Tamil Nadu’s reputation, and the official fact-check team of the state government refuted the claims, labeling them as fake news.

On 15 January 2024, A statement from the Directorate of Information and Public Relations (DIPR) acknowledged inaccuracies in historical details related to E.V. Ramasamy (EVR), known as ‘Periyar.’ The errors included the claim that Periyar visited Anna University on 16 July 1920 instead of the correct date, 16 July 1970. Additionally, discrepancies were found in stating Periyar’s birthday as 17 September 1879, a Wednesday, whereas computer-generated information in the statement indicated a Saturday. The release also falsely attributed a quote about cell phones to Periyar, whereas it was originally made by the renowned scientist and inventor Nikola Tesla.

On 12 December 2023, The Chief Minister initially praised writer Rajasekaran Devibharathi on social media for winning the Sahitya Akademi Award. However, the celebration was short-lived when it became apparent that the Sahitya Akademi had not yet announced any awards. Consequently, the Chief Minister promptly deleted the post.

In November 2023, when allegations of Aavin reducing fat content in the green packet milk surfaced, instead of proving that the milk contained a specific amount of fat as claimed or other details that pertained to the topic of discussion, the FCU’s Mission Director ended up fact-checking the “container” in which the sample was received.

By

-

Tamil Nadu Congress MLA S Vijayadharani has officially joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) at the party headquarters in New Delhi on 24 February 2024. The event took place in the presence of Union Minister of State L Murugan, BJP incharge for Tamil Nadu Arvind Menon, and the party’s coincharge for the state, Ponguleti Sudhakar Reddy.

Vijayadharani is a three-time legislator from the Vilavancode Assembly constituency in Tamil Nadu’s Kanyakumari  District since 2011. She had earlier in the day resigned from the primary membership of Congress and shared her resignation letter addressed to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on her official microblogging X platform stated, “I hereby tender my resignation from the party’s primary membership and related posts held by me in the party for personal reasons. Kindly accept the same.”

During the press conference held at the BJP party’s headquarters in Delhi, she expressed to the reporters, “I was in the Indian National Congress for several years from my childhood I have never shifted party all my life and this is the first time I’ve taken decision to shift my party for various reasons, I might have some difficulties definitely. You will be knowing about all those but past is past. Now I really feel that under the leadership of our Honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi, lot of great things are happening to our country internationally. Our country is in such high profile and very important is the people of the country also are quite happy of various schemes of the present government. Particularly I’m really sometimes worried that good schemes of Government of India, presently now like the ration scheme and certain other schemes are not being … promoted or even considered in states like Tamilnadu, West Bengal. In these states they are not being accepted at all. Because of that people are being denied of some good. So such things have to be definitely considered by such states, our states. So it needs a strong persuasion in such states that national party particularly Bharatiya Janata Party should be more strengthened”

When discussing Tamil Nadu, she remarked, “Now presently our state leader and president Annamalai is doing great job and he is doing his Padayatra and particularly there is going to be a real transformation of the party in Tamilnadu and i will also joining them in the process to strengthen the party and particularly I strongly feel that the women need more focus, that is been given by the Bharatiya Janata Party, that I really appreciate. More number more number of MP’s are there and more number of MLA’s  are there in the elective process the Bharatiya Janata Party encourages women into the process beyond bringing the women reservation bill and enacting it in the Parliament and more so they will also be implementing it shortly that’s what prime ministers has stated. Now I strongly feel that women leaders are more important to the country and in states like Tamilnadu definitely women leaders are to be considered the welfare of women so therefore the promotion of Bharatiya Janata Party of people like us into the party system,I am overwhelmingly happy about it and I accept and to work within the party with utmost loyalty. I strongly feel I am a person of loyalty and now it’s time that the leadership of Modi is very important to this country. So hence code under the under the leadership of Modi and the presence in the presence of our minister and the party president in Nadda I strongly feel that people like me can to work in our state and will be definitely of some use to the people of the country.”

 

This move is considered a setback for the Congress party ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, expected to be held in April-May this year adding to BJP’s strengthen and boosting its presence in Tamilnadu..

Vijayadharani, a prominent figure in the Tamil Nadu Congress, had been elected as an MLA in 2021 from Vilavancode constituency where the BJP holds a significant presence. Speculations about her switching parties had been circulating, reportedly due to internal differences within the Congress. There were alleged concerns regarding her relationship for past days and with senior leader Selvaperunthagai elevated to the position of Tamil Nadu Congress president.

The Tamil Nadu BJP President, K Annamalai, officially extended a warm welcome to MLA S Vijayadharani through his official handle.

Worms Found In Aavin Delite Milk In Thoothukudi, Leaves Homemakers Shocked

By
The Commune
-

Owing to its low price and fairly good quality, Aavin milk has high patronage in Tamil Nadu. The brand offers 4 different variants depicted by the colour of the milk packets viz Orange, Green, Purple, Blue, etc.

In a shocking incident in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu, consumers found worms floating in the Delite (purple) variant in the milk packet of the brand. This has left homemakers in deep distress.

This instance is said to have occurred in Lourdusamy, who hails from Kangankulam village, Kovilpatti in the Thoothukudi district, home. As usual, he bought a packet of Aavin Delite milk from the local outlet. When his wife poured the contents into a vessel to boil, they found a worm floating in the milk. They recorded it as a video and shared it among their social media circles.

Lourdusamy’s wife Kavita says, “We lost interest in consuming milk now. So many poor people are using this brand. How can they drink it if the quality is such?” She also added that they have been consuming Aavin milk for the past 15 years and there was no issue so far with the milk. But the occurrence of worms had been seen for the past 3-4 days in the milk. She also added that her son suffered from stomach ache which they had assumed to be because of contaminated water but it turned out to be because of the worms in the milk.

She further said, “Since the price is less, several strata of the society consume this milk – be it elders, young ones, or anyone else. If it is like this, how can we buy milk again? I request the TN government to provide us with good quality milk.”

News Tamil 24×7 spoke to the General Manager of Aavin, Rajkumar, he refuted the claims that there were worms in the milk packet and said it was impossible that such a thing happened. He also said that the officials were analysing the milk packets and they did not find any such worms in the packets.

Rajkumar added that if the milk is not maintained at the proper temperature, it is possible that worms can be found. He also said that he did not receive any complaints in this regard from anyone else and that agents were providing fresh milk packets to the consumers.

The same Delite variant was in the news recently for the discrepancy in the fat content in the milk compared to that listed on the cover.
