#According to one eyewitness who saw the pogrom against Hindus claimed that in response to Muslim mob’s attack, Hindus too tried to mount an assault in self-defence but they were mostly at the receiving end as the Muslim rioters were perched at a higher elevation in Rajdhani school and had a clear aim to target the Hindus.

#Hindu shops burnt to ground by Muslim anti-CAA rioters in Northeast Delhi

#A person who had come to see his burnt shop claimed that the Muslim houses, on the other side of the road were all safe and intact.

Large swathes of northeast Delhi were in throes of unprecedented violence as Muslim anti-CAA rioters went on a rampage. The situation in Karawal Nagar, one of the highly sensitive neighbourhood in northeast Delhi was the area which arguably borne the maximum devastation. OpIndia team decided to visit the strife-torn region to comprehend the ravages of the violence inflicted by the Muslim mob.

On visiting the “Bhagwan Shiva Chowk” in Karawal Nagar’s Shiv Vihar, we saw bricks and stones irregularly strewn across the road, giving an impression that the place might have been a witness to a gory pitched battle. In the adjoining areas, houses owned by Hindu appeared badly damaged and in a deplorable situation. A Hindu DRP school was burnt down while shops owned by Hindus were razed down. A potter was inconsolably weeping as his months of hard work laid in ruins. On the other hand, a food stall was severely burnt, including the stove and benches.

We then proceeded towards Shiv Vihar Chowk, where attacks were carried out from the Muslim school Rajdhani. The DRP school of Hindus were reduced to ashes. There were about 300 riotous goons in the Rajdhani school. A person who had come to see his burnt shop claimed that the Muslim houses, on the other side of the road were all safe and intact.

When he examined the claim made by the person, we found that the Muslim locality, on the other side of the road was unharmed and secure, while the Hindu shops were blown into smithereens. When we asked about the glaring incongruency to a person who was serving tea and snacks to the security forces deployed in the region, he said that the attack had emanated from the same Muslim houses. Muslim women were also standing on their roofs and attacking the police forces with acid, he added.

According to one eyewitness who saw the pogrom against Hindus claimed that in response to Muslim mob’s attack, Hindus too tried to mount an assault in self-defence but they were mostly at the receiving end as the Muslim rioters were perched at a higher elevation in Rajdhani school and had a clear aim to target the Hindus. Dinesh Munshi was shot in the head, after which he died. He added that despite this, Hindus assisted many Muslim women to their homes who were stuck in the struggle between the two sides. Hindus continued helping the needy ones while Muslims kept raining petrol bombs and hurling stones, he said.

There’s still an air of fear and apprehension in the region, as people are reluctant to come in front of the camera and name the culprits. They claim that they have to stay in this area, If they come out and speak the truth, tomorrow nobody will come forth to help them if anything untoward happens to them.

When asked where was the police when Hindus in the region came under attack, the residents said that police was present at the spot but they were not authorised to shoot the rioters.

##2. While Islamists burnt Delhi, these are the people who came together in Patna’s anti-CAA rally to foment trouble further : FEBRUARY 28, 2020 : Opindia

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#From the JNU violence to the Jamia protests to Delhi's Shaheen Bagh protests, these perennial members of the 'left-wing coterie' have not left a single opportunity to fear monger and spread false propaganda against the central government and its newly implemented Citizenship law.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While Delhi continues to burn with Islamists wreaking havoc, targetting the Hindus in the national capital, the left brigade had joined hands at the ‘Samvidhan Bachao, Nagrikta Bachao’ Maha Rally at Patna’s Gandhi Maidan on Thursday.

This anti-CAA-NRC-NPR rally was convened by former JNU Students’ Union president Kanhaiya Kumar. It was joined by the usual coterie of self-proclaimed ‘liberals’, namely JNU Students’ Union president Aishe Ghosh, Rohit Vemula’s mother Radhika Vemula, actress and ‘activist’ Swara Bhaskar, actor Sushant Singh and film director Anurag Kashyap amongst others.

Congress MLA Shakeel Ahmed, Chandrashekhar Azad, Yogendra Yadav, Jignesh Mewani, Arudhanti Rai, Hyderabad University Students Union President Abhishek Kumar, besides Tushar Gandhi of all left parties were also present to address the rally.

Incidentally, all these self-proclaimed ‘activists’ who were present at the Gandhi Maidan in Patna on Thursday have recently played a vital role in spreading rumours and fanning violence over the new Citizenship Amendment law. From the JNU violence to the Jamia protests to Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh protests, these perennial members of the ‘left-wing coterie’ have not left a single opportunity to fear monger and spread false propaganda against the central government and its newly implemented Citizenship law.

#JNU Students’ Union president Aishe Ghosh :

The JNUSU president Aishe Ghosh, against whom two FIRs have been lodged for her alleged involvement in the vandalism of server rooms in Jawaharlal Nehru University on January 4, 2020, has been an important part of the anti-CAA and anti-Modi propaganda in the recent times. She was seen actively participating in the anti-CAA Jamia protest and inciting students against the Citizenship law.

Referring to the abrogation of Article 370, Ghosh had added a new dimension to the protest against the CAA by dredging up the Kashmir issue and linking it with the demonstrations against the citizenship act.

JNUSU president Aishe Ghosh’s mentioning Kashmir during the anti-CAA protests had unmasked the real intentions behind the demonstrations. It vindicated Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s stand who had earlier claimed that the anti-CAA protests are politically motivated and orchestrated by those having ulterior motives.

It is noteworthy to mention that Aishe Ghosh belongs to the hotbed of seditious elements, Jawaharlal Nehru University, where anti-India slogans of “Bharat tere tukde honge inshallah inshallah” and others were raised in 2016. Besides, JNU students also routinely indulge in chanting “Azaadi” slogans.

#Actress and ‘activist’ Swara Bhaskar :

In December 2019, to express solidarity, the protesters at Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh were visited by Bollywood entertainer Swara Bhaskar where she spoke against CAA-NRC-NPR and also instigated the crowd against the government. The actor was also joined by Sharjeel Imam, the mastermind of the Shaheen Bagh protest, in her endeavour.

In a video uploaded on Youtube on January 1, Swara Bhaskar could be heard provoking the crowd by saying that they have shown others the true path and people should be drawing inspiration from them. While she instigates the gathering she is also seen giving false and malicious statements against the government and it’s newly implemented Citizenship Amendment Act and NRC.

In a conversation with The Wire employee Arfa Khanum Sherwani, Bhaskar indulged in fear-mongering and said that not only is the new law ‘unconstitutional’ but also ‘lays the foundation of Hindu Rashtra’.

#Actor Sushant Singh :

Claiming that he was kicked out of his job for speaking against CAA, the ex-host of the crime based show Savdhaan India, Sushant Singh has been time and again seen mindlessly ranting against the CAA and NRC. From claiming that CAA will be withdrawn even after refugees have already been granted Indian citizenship under the amended Act in his anti-CAA speech at Mumbai’s Azad Maidan on February 16, to his mindlessly ranting that the CAA, NPR and NRC will deprive the Muslims held in detention centres of their right to have sex and procreation, Sushant Singh has consistently been displaying ignorance and spreading falsehood against the new Citizenship law.

#Film director Anurag Kashyap :

The ‘anti-Modi’ hatred of the ultra-left wing intelligentsia of the country, which Bollywood director Anurag Kashyap is an indispensable part of, had compelled the propagandist filmmaker to go to Jamia and Shaheen Bagh to express solidarity with the Islamist protestors present there, agitating against the Citizenship Amendment Law since over two months.

Prior to this, Anurag Kashyap had also joined the ‘Mumbai Bagh’ anti-CAA protest on February 5, which the Islamists in Mumbai have launched on the lines of Shaheen Bagh of Delhi.

Following the violence at Jamia Nagar in Delhi where rioters ran amok, vandalising public property, setting buses on fire, Prime Minister Modi took to Twitter to appeal for peace. However, Anurag Kashyap, being the fake new peddler that he is, chose that moment to blame the ‘BJP IT cell’ for ‘creating propaganda about students being violent’. This when there were ample video evidence to prove that the protests were far from peaceful and how buses were set ablaze systematically.

#Bhim Army chief Chandrashekhar Azad :

Bhim Army chief Chandra Shekhar Azad had been arrested in connection with the violence in Old Delhi’s Daryaganj on December 21, a day after his outfit defied a Police ban and organised a march from Jama Masjid to Jantar Mantar against the new citizenship law.

The Delhi Police had denied permission to Chandrashekhar Azad’s protest march against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act from Jama Masjid to Jantar Mantar. Reports say that thousands of Muslims gathered at Jama Masjid after the Friday prayers, joined by Bhim Army members.

On the day of the march, Azad had given a slip to the Delhi Police after the security personnel tried to detain him. He came outside Jama Masjid early Saturday (December 21) and was detained. He was arrested later, police said. After being detained, Azad was kept at the Crime Branch office in Chanakyapuri since he said he was unwell. He was later handed over to the central district police.

Police had suspected Azad instigated the crowd which turned violent near Delhi Gate and burnt a car.

#Swarajya Abhiyaan’s chief Yogendra Yadav :

In the view of violent Anti-Citizenship Amendment Act (Anti-CAA) protests that have broken throughout the country where rampaging mobs have indulged in mindless violence, Section 144 had been imposed in several parts of the country to ensure that peace prevails. Swarajya Abhiyaan chief Yogendra Yadav was detained by the police in December last year for protesting against Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) despite Section 144 being imposed in parts of Delhi.

Only recently, OpIndia had exposed how NSUI (Congress’ student wing), Swarajya Abhiyaan and the Left were hands in gloves trying to foment trouble on the 19th of December by instigating and coordinating several protests across the nation.

It’s not surprising that all these ultra-left wings who share a common yearning to break India got together in Patna to address the CPI’s ‘Samvidhan Bachao, Nagrikta Bachao’ maha rally to once again spread rumours against the Citizenship Amendment Act, which grants citizenship to persecuted minorities like Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Jains, Parsis and even Christians from neighbouring Islamic nations.

###3. After delaying for more than a year, AAP government gives permission for prosecuting Kanhaiya Kumar and two others in JNU sedition case : FEBRUARY 28, 2020 : Opindia

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#Kanhaiya Kumar thanked Delhi govt for approval of his prosecution in the case, saying it will expose the misuse of sedition law

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#Kanhaiya Kumar (left) Arvind Kejriwal (right)

The AAP led Delhi government on Friday finally gave nod to prosecute former Jawaharlal Nehru University Students’ Union (JNUSU) president Kanhaiya Kumar and others in a sedition case, in which the Delhi police special Cell had submitted 1200-page charge-sheet on January 14 last year. The application had been pending since then with the Delhi government.

The JNU sedition case had seen no proceeding so far due to the Arvind Kejriwal government’s refusal to give nod for prosecution. Accused in the case are Kanhaiya Kumar, Umar Khalid, Anirban Bhattacharya and several others.

Finally, permission was given after Delhi Police wrote to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s government last week requesting it to expedite the process. That letter was sent hours after a court directed cops to send a reminder to the ruling AAP.

Kanhaiya Kumar welcomed the Delhi govt’s decision for approval for prosecution against him, saying that a speedy trial in the case is required so that the country can know how the sedition law is misused for political benefits and divert attention of people from basic issues. He thanked the Delhi govt for the decision, and urged the Delhi police and government lawyers to take the case seriously, wished that a speedy trial in the case is conducted in a fast-track court, so justice is ensured in a court of law instead of courts of TV channels.

While Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari welcomed the decision, he took a subtle jibe at Arvind Kejriwal over the delay in decision making. “Probably keeping the current political situation in mind, Chief Minister Kejriwal has finally given sanction prosecute Kanhaiya Kumar. We welcome the decision. We have been demanding (this)… let the law take its own course,” Tiwari said.

A case was registered against Kumar and the others under sections 124-A and 120B of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) at the Vasant Kunj police station in 2016. A charge sheet was filed in connection with the case on January 14, 2019.

On February 6th 2019, the Patiala House Court had asked Delhi police to speed up the proceedings by obtaining Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi Government’s sanction for prosecution. It had also added that state government cannot delay the case by withholding nod for prosecution.

But it was revealed before the court that the Delhi government did not respond to the charge sheet after receiving it. According to Delhi police, first request to sanction prosecution was sent in 2016, and another request was sent in January 2019, without any results.

In cases like JNU sedition row, Police has to solicit a sanction to prosecute from Delhi state’s law ministry. Then the file has to go to Lt. General. The court cannot take cognisance of charge sheet without state government’s nod.

In February 2016, the students of JNU had organized an event to mark the anniversary of terrorist Afzal Guru who had attacked the Indian Parliament. Many slogans challenging the Indian State’s sovereignty and calling for its balkanization were raised. At the event, slogans like ‘Bharat Tere Tukde Honge’ and Afzal hum sharminda hain, tere katil jinda hain’ were captured in news reports.

####4. SP leader Azam Khan surrenders with wife and son, sent to jail :  February 26, 2020 : India Today

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#Samajwadi Party MP Mohd Azam Khan, his wife and son were sent to jail after they surrendered on Wednesday. The Khan family had been ignoring summons in cases against them as a result of which warrants were issued against them.

Samajwadi Party MP Mohd Azam Khan, his wife Tanzeen Fatima and son Abdullah Azam were sent to seven days judicial custody after they surrendered in the district court on Wednesday.
The next hearing of the case will be on March 2.

The Khan family had been ignoring summons by the courts in various cases lodged against them as a result of which warrants were issued against them.

A local MP-MLA court in Rampur, on Tuesday, had ordered attachments of the properties of Mohd Azam Khan, Tanzeen Fatima and Abdullah Azam after non-bailable warrants were issued against them in one of the cases and they still refused to appear in court.

The Samajwadi leader had made several attempts to get anticipatory bail but the same was denied by the court.

Trouble for Azam Khan began in July last year and more than 4 cases were lodged against him and his family.

He was booked for land grabbing, encroachment, book theft, power theft, statue theft, buffalo theft, goat theft while his son Abdullah Azam was booked for forgery in birth date documents. He even lost his membership of the state assembly after he was found guilty of forgery.
