Vijayvaani.com - Demilitarization of J&K: Delhi yielding, mercenaries and Pakistani agents winning

    • Demilitarization of J&K: Delhi yielding, mercenaries and Pakistani agents winning 
    • Hari Om
    • Mr. Antony inter alia disclosed that the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) will take over the security of the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway 1-A from the Army from January 15. The Union Government has every right to take such a step. It must have gone into the whole issue and taken note of the prevailing security scenario all along the National Highway before reaching the conclusion that the CRPF, and not the Army, could guard the highly sensitive National Highway.

       

      What disturbed and dumbfounded observers was his irresponsible comment that the decision to this effect has been taken to “reduce the visibility of the Army.” The Minister’s comment must have pleased the mercenaries and the Pakistani agents who had assembled at New Delhi’s prestigious India International Centre (IIC) on Jan. 11 and attacked India and the India Army for full three days (Jan. 11 - 13). Actually, a number of mercenaries, separatists, murderers, communalists and Pakistani agents had converged at the IIC to participate in the India-Pakistan conference; all were hailed by a section of the media as “peaceniks” (peace activists).

       

      The Defence Minister made his mind-boggling comment at a time when the anti-India and pro-Pakistan forces, plus the Kashmiri separatists, were asking New Delhi to “demilitarize Jammu & Kashmir” and resume the stalled composite dialogue process with Pakistan, so that Pakistani views on Indian Jammu & Kashmir and the views of Kashmiri separatists, including their demand for demilitarization, are accommodated, and they get what they have been striving for since October 1947.

    • What is the political message of the Indian Defence Minister? It is, shamefully, this:

      His ministry shares the view of the mercenaries, Pakistani agents and Kashmiri separatists that the Indian Army is a bad institution and that the presence of the Indian Army in the terrorist-infested Jammu & Kashmir is illegal, provocative, and undesirable, and that the withdrawal of the Army from the State could be a great confidence-building measure.

Ghatotkacha's blog: Human Right commission stays award to Anti Hindu Novel on Draupadi

  • tags: no_tag

    • The Pandavas, the five brothers and their mother Empress Kunti wanted Princess Draupadi to marry all five brothers. In Hindu households, it is the older son who marries first then the younger sons. Arjuna too felt that older brothers Yudhisthtira and Bhima had to marry first before he married. The only solution they found was for all the five brothers to marry Princess Draupadi. This solution was opposed by King Drupada, Prince Dhristadyumna and Princess Draupadi.
    • Maharishi Veda Vyasa was invited to the confabulation to sort out the royal mess! Veda Vyasa, the fountainhead of Dharma, The Best of Munis, counseled as follows:
    • Another APADDHARMA is for a woman to marry more than one brother to avoid a calamity. Such marriages prove successful if the wife is wise and the husbands considerate. She has to give equal dedication to all of her husbands.

महाजाल पर सुरेश चिपलूनकर (Suresh Chiplunkar): सुप्रीम कोर्ट : हुबली का ईदगाह मैदान सार्वजनिक उपयोग के लिये – उमा भारती की नैतिक जीत… Hubli Idgah Land Issue, Supreme Court, Anjuman-BJP

  • tags: no_tag

    • हुबली के ईदगाह के मैदान का भूमि विवाद सन् 1921 से चल रहा है, जब हुबली नगरपालिका ने स्थानीय अंजुमन-ए-इस्लाम को इस मैदान का 1.5 एकड़ हिस्सा नमाज के लिये कुछ शर्तों पर दिया था। शुरु से ही शर्तों का उल्लंघन होता रहा, प्रशासन, सरकारें आँखें मूंदे बैठे रहे। जब हिन्दूवादी संगठनों ने इस पर आपत्ति उठाना शुरु किया तब हलचल मची, इस बीच 1990 में अंजुमन ने इस भूमि पर पक्का निर्माण कार्य लिया, जिसने आग में घी डालने का काम कर दिया, और जब सरकार ने इस निर्माण कार्य को अतिक्रमण कहकर तोड़ने की कोशिश की तब मामला न्यायालय में चला गया, फ़िर जैसा कि होता आया है हमारे देश के न्यायालय न्याय कम देते हैं “स्टे ऑर्डर” अधिक देते हैं, मामला टलता गया, गरमाता गया, साम्प्रदायिक रूप लेता गया। उल्लेखनीय है कि मध्यप्रदेश की पूर्व मुख्यमंत्री सुश्री उमा भारती ने इस मैदान पर जब तिरंगा फ़हराने की कोशिश की थी, तब “स्वार्थी तत्वों” दंगे भड़काये गये थे और पुलिस गोलीबारी मे 9 लोग मारे गये थे, उमा भारती के खिलाफ़ स्थानीय न्यायालय ने गैर-ज़मानती वारंट जारी किया था और उन्हें संवैधानिक बाध्यताओं के चलते अपना मुख्यमंत्री पद छोड़ना पड़ा था।
    • अब देखना यह है कि कर्नाटक के मुख्यमंत्री येदियुरप्पा सुप्रीम कोर्ट के निर्णय के बाद उस जगह से अंजुमन का अतिक्रमण हटाने में कामयाब हो पाते हैं या नहीं (क्योंकि सुप्रीम कोर्ट के कई निर्णयों को लतियाने की परम्परा रही है इस देश में)। वैसे तो यह पूरी तरह से एक भूमि विवाद था जिसे अतिक्रमणकर्ताओं ने “साम्प्रदायिक” रूप दे दिया, लेकिन फ़िर भी उमा भारती के लिये व्यक्तिगत रूप से यह एक नैतिक विजय कही जा सकती है।

steps to second partition: visa less travel for haj pilgrims but hindu pilgrims left to die

  • tags: no_tag

    • Five persons — including four women and a child — died on the spot. Two others succumbed to their injuries in the hospital.

      “The rush to get accommodated on the first ferry resulted in the stampede,” said Surajit Kar Purakayasta, IG, Law and Order.
    • “The ferry was delayed due to the low tide,” said Khalil Ahmed, District Magistrate, South 24-Parganas. “The pilgrims were trying to board the first boat to Sagar Islands at Kakdwip. They had entered the jetty area breaking through the barricade and the crowd could not be controlled.”
    • Asit Das from Deulti, North 24-Parganas, who was an eyewitness to the incident, said the situation was a case of total mismanagement by the administration. “Not a single police officer or volunteer was present at the spot to control the crowd.”

The Pioneer > Online Edition : >> Alarm as Rajneesh’s widow disappears from in law’s home

    • Mohit Kandhari | Jammu
    • Anchal nee Amina suspected to have reached Srinagar
    • Anchal Sharma nee Amina Yousaf, widow of Rajneesh Sharma, who was seeking justice from the apex court to bring culprits responsible for her husband’s death behind bars, has suddenly disappeared from the house of her in-laws in Jammu under mysterious circumstances.

      Leaving behind a trail of puzzles for the Jammu and Kashmir Police to solve, Anchal reportedly disappeared in the wee hours of Friday when all other members of the family were fast asleep.

      According to her in-laws, Anchal was barefoot and was not even wearing woollens when she disappeared in the wee hours.

      Even the lone police guard on duty was found sleeping when Anchal went missing through the rear gate of the house.

      Ironically, the cover of five policemen provided to Rajneesh's family on the directions of the apex court was lifted by the local police authorities in the name of Republic Day duty only a few days back.
    • Unconfirmed reports, however, suggested that Anchal had safely reached Srinagar and is said to be camping in the house of a close relative.
