Smriti Irani's 'thank you' note to Rahul Gandhi after his Hitler remark

NEW DELHI: Union minister Smriti Irani on Friday hit back at Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi for his comments accusing the BJP-led NDA government of attempting to strangulate fact like the Nazi regime. On Friday Rahul had likened PM Narendra Modi to Hitler and stated the authorities turned into seeking to paint a lie over India even as oppressing the negative and marginalised. Hitler once wrote: Keep a firm draw close on reality so that you can strangle it at any time. This is what is occurring these days - strangulation of truth... BJP desires to paint a lie over India that allows you to return it to an age http://miarroba.com/thoughtforquotes of kings and no questions where people had been humiliated by electricity in which humans s voices were crushed in which the terrible and weak had been trampled upon Rahul had said at the Quest for equity occasion in Bengaluru.

You have put Hinduism and Islam at the same platform in the garb of being impartial. These kinds of writings will misguide innocent Muslims. Kafiirs non-believers should be given six months to convert. Those who do not convert should be assassinated the letter said.Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Facebook said We will not tolerate deaths threats and declaration of attacks on social media against people who take progressive or independent stands. Such complaints will be taken up strongly. The letter also warned Mr Ramanunni that he would meet the same fate as that of professor TJ Joseph whose right arm was chopped off in 2010 by the members of a radical Muslim outfit for allegedly hurting their religious sentiments through a question paper he had set. Like TJ Joseph your right arm will be cut off...your left leg too. You are given six months to convert to Islam. If you do not embrace Islam we will inflict Allah s punishment on you the letter said.The author has filed a complaint and the police are investigating the matter.A novelist and short story writer Mr Ramanunni is a recipient of the Kerala Sahitya Academy Award and Vayalar Award among other literary acclaims.A film was also made on his debut novel Sufi Paranja Katha which revolved around the love story of a Muslim man and a Hindu woman. A renowned Malayali author and a woman college lecturer have complained to the police of receiving threats even as Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has said his government would not ignore threats to those who expressed progressive views. Efforts to tarnish those with progressive opinions on the social media and making death threats to them would not be accepted Vijayan said on Facebook. Those who feel that independent voices can be gagged by threats are living in a fool s paradise he wrote. The chief minister s statement comes in the wake http://pdfsr.com/profile/thoughtforquote of Malayali author K P Ramanunni lodging a police complaint today regarding an anonymous threat letter warning him that his right arm and left leg would be chopped off if he did not convert to Islam within six months. The letter was sent to Ramanunni s Kozhikode residence six days ago. The writer said though there was no indication as to who was behind the letter it was understood that it was posted from Manjeri in Malappuram district. I am not aware of the motive behind the letter. I filed a complaint with the Kozhikode city police commissioner today urging him to look into the matter he told PTI. Ramanunni said though he had ignored the letter initially other senior writers advised him to file the police complaint. The letter alleged that some of the recent articles written by the award-winning writer amounted to misleading the Muslim youth. It also warned that Ramanunni would meet the same fate as that of professor TJ Joseph whose right arm was chopped off by the members of a radical Muslim outfit for allegedly hurting their religious sentiments through a question paper he had set. Like T J Joseph your right arm will be cut off...your left leg too. You are given six months to convert to Islam. If you do not embrace Islam we will inflict Allah s punishment on you the letter said. The police said a probe was launched on the basis of Ramanunni s complaint. The right arm of Joseph who was a professor in the Thodupuzha New Man College was chopped off while he was returning home from the Sunday mass at a church in Muvattupuzha in Ernakulam district on July 4 2010. A novelist and short story writer Ramanunni is a recipient of the Kerala Sahitya Academy Award and Vayalar Award among other literary acclaims. In the other case Deepa Nishanth a lecturer in the Thrissur-based Kerala Varma College lodged a police complaint regarding death threats received by her on the social media allegedly from right-wing activists in connection with a painting of renowned artist late M F Hussain put up on the college campus. She alleged that her morphed pictures with derogatory comments were widely circulated and shared on the social media. She said the threat seemed to be on the assumption that she was in support of the exhibition of the controversial painting Saraswathy on the college campus. A banner with the painting was put up by the SFI the students union of the ruling CPI(M) in Kerala to welcome the freshers she said. I was shocked to see the series of abusive comments against me on the social media over a matter in which I was not even involved said Deepa. She added that the comments and morphed pictures were also sent to her family members causing great mental agony. The police registered a case under the Information Technology (IT) Act after the lecturer lodged a complaint with the chief minister and Director General of Police (DGP) Loknath Behera.

In a different case a woman college professor who had spoken favourably about M F Husain s Saraswati painting has been attacked on social media and threatened with acid attack. Police on Friday registered cases and began investigation. K P Ramanunni the Malayalam writer said he received the threat in a letter that said: Get converted to Islam. We are giving you six months time. You cannot hide in the granary at your house for long. Get ready to offer namaaz five times a day and observe fast. Otherwise we would execute the punishment meant for infidels. Your articles would deviate the people from the path of faith. Ramanunni who lives in Kozhikode had written a six-part series in the edit page of the Madhyamam daily on the necessity of Hindu-Muslim harmony. The daily is run by the Jamaat-e-Islami a Muslim religious organisation in Kerala. The articles had said Muslims should not view Hindus as their enemies. It said religious extremism was a product of colonial forces. The articles called for a concerted movement of Hindus and Muslims in the age of a violent neo-liberalism . Ramanunni said: The articles were written with a genuine interest aimed at fostering religious harmony. The series published last month during Ramzan were widely appreciated. The writer said he got the threat letter six days ago and handed it over to the Kozhikode city police. Ramanunni said the letter threatened that he would face consequences like professor T J Joseph whose right hand was chopped off by a gang in 2010 for allegedly insulting the Prophet. The threat of an attack like Joseph suffered was also made to Kerala Varma College professor Deepa Nisanth. She had spoken of supporting an SFI banner that had carried the Saraswati painting of M F Husain. Hindutva outfits feel that by painting Saraswati in the nude Husain had insulted the religion. Nisanth said morphed pictures of her were circulated on social media and one person commented that the professor might be the model for the painting. Nisanth said she got messages from various social media accounts threatening acid attack. Some groups threatened I would be handled in the manner Prof T J Joseph was attacked. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said the government would strongly deal with the threat to writers and cultural activists. On his Facebook page Vijayan said the government would not tolerate attempts to threaten and defame those who take a progressive and divergent stand on various issues.

NEW DELHI: Lalu Prasad Yadav and his wife Rabri Devi will now board aircraft and alight from them at Patna airport like ordinary passengers. The Modi government on Friday withdrew the permission for the Yadav couples vehicle driving up right up to the tarmac near the step ladder of the aircraft while flying in and out of Patna. It has now been decided that the permission accorded to Shri Lalu Prasad Yadav and Smt Rabi Devi... may be withdrawn forthwith. BCAS (Bureau of Civil Aviation Security) is accordingly requested to take immediate action to issue necessary instructions in this regard to all concerned a letter issued by the aviation ministry on Friday says. While Lalu Yadav resigned as Bihar CM in July 1997 after being involved in a corruption case and then Rabri Devi s third term as CM ended in March 2005 the Congress-ruled UPA had as a special case granted tarmac access to the Yadav couple at Patna airport in their vehicle in 2009. This was enabled by an aviation security (AVSEC) circular number 13/2009 issued on August 1 2009. Chief ministers vehicles are allowed tarmac access at airports in their state especially in the state capital. This facility has been extended in the past to CMs in airports outside their states too for security or health reasons.

PATNA: Grappling with court cases pertaining to fodder scam and allegations of benami assets the family of RJD chief Lalu Prasad on Monday sought refuge in the divinity of Lord Shiva by performing rudrabhishek an elaborate ritual bath of the Shiva Lingam in the early morning hours on Monday. Mondays are considered the most auspicious days for paying obeisance to Lord Shiva in the ongoing holy month of Shrawan. Lakhs of devotees travel to Shiva temples including the Amarnath cave in different parts of the country to perform jalabhishek (offering holy water to the Shiva Lingam) during the month. Unlike the routine jalabhishek rudrabhishek is a time-taking complex ritual performed either at temples or at home throughout the year. The Lalu family performed rudrabhishek from 4am to 7am at the official bungalow of Lalu s wife and former CM Rabri Devi where the family lives. Sources said the entire family including the couple s younger son and Bihar deputy CM Tejashwi Prasad Yadav and elder son and state health minister Tej Pratap Yadav participated in the rituals. Insiders said four priests had been called to preside over the sacred ceremony. They were joined by the two family priests who perform prayers at the temple inside Rabri s bungalow every morning and evening to help the VIP devotees perform the rituals. Rabri and Tej Pratap led the family in performing the rituals using turmeric ashtagandha honey ghee curd and holy water of the Ganga amid chants of Vedic mantras. Lalu performs rudrabhishek every year in Shrawan but it was more important this time considering the troubles being faced by the family a Lalu aide and RJD functionary told TOI. How could I be a criminal at 14? I didn t even have a mooch then: Tejashwi Yadav on CBI s corruption case against himTejashwi Yadav wants to know how the BJP could think he was a criminal at the age of 14 when he hadn t even started sprouting facial hair. Tejashwi performed rudrabhishek also on June 17 at the centuries-old Hariharnath temple at Sonepur 15km from Patna. Elder brother Tej Pratap followed suit and performed rudrabhishek at the same temple the next day. Sources close to family say Tej Pratap has been a Lord Krishna worshipper. However he has of late started wearing a wrist band and necklace of rudraksh a seed worn as beads by Shiva devotees for protection from evils. The 29-year-old health minister had also reportedly organised a Dushman maran jaap (a religious ritual believed to ward off evil spirits) at his official residence at 3 Deshratna Marg in the first week of June. RJD president Lalu Prasad s elder son Tej Pratap Yadav on Monday posted photographs on Facebook and Twitter showing him having sattu (flattened gram used as a delicacy by many in Hindi heartland) in lunch. Sada bhojan sadgi ka jivan aur shant mann yehi hai spasht swachh aur swasth vichar paane ka mool mantra... Sattu ka aahar aur samajwadi vichar (Simple food simple life and peaceful mind are the keys to clear clean and healthy thoughts. Food made of sattu and socialist thoughts) read the caption of the photographs.
NEW DELHI: The Central Bureau of Investigation has recovered crucial documents from the railway ministry which present irrefutable evidence against RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav in the alleged corruption case involving him his wife Rabri Devi and son Tejaswi Yadav for giving a IRCTC contract to a private company in lieu of a premium piece of land in Patna. According to the top sources in the agency the note sheets of the time when Lalu was the Union railway minister from 2004 to 2009 have been recovered which clearly mention that it was him who ordered giving the contract of maintenance of two railway hotels BNR Ranchi and Puri to Sujata Hotels a company owned by Vinay and Vijay Kochhar. The officers in railway ministry source said at the behest of Lalu mentioned that railway minister has desired giving the contract to Sujata Hotels. The source said that the tender conditions were tweaked in favour of Sujata Hotels and in return three acre land in western Patna was given to Delight Marketing (whose promoters are known to family of RJD leader) at a very low cost and later this land was transferred to another company Lara Projects a company owned by his family. CBI officials said that the note sheets are a solid piece of evidence against Lalu who used his position as railway minister to ultimately benefit himself and his family. The source added that they have recovered the documents of transfer of property as well which proves the quid pro quo . The recovery gives weight to CBI FIR registered earlier this month and discredits Lalu Yadav s allegations that there is a political vendetta over CBI raids against him and his family. RJD termed the finding of notesheet by the CBI which indicate direct involvement of Lalu in the alleged anomalies in the bidding process for the two IRCTC hotels completely baseless. The allegations are completely baseless as IRCTC is an autonomous body and there is no role of railways minister in its dayto-day functioning. These allegations are being levelled as per political conspiracy being hatched by the BJP against lalu- family RJD s Bihar unit chief spokesperson Shakti Singh Yadav told TOIin Patna. Sources said that they will start questioning people associated with this contract in IRCTC railway ministry and private persons from next week but Lalu Yadav Rabri and Tejaswi will be called for questioning after the verification is over. In its FIR CBI has named Sarla Gupta wife of Lalu Yadav s confidant Prem Chand Gupta Vijay Kochhar Vinay Kochhar both directors of Sujata Hotels and owner of Chanakya Hotel Delight marketing company now known as Lara Projects and the then IRCTC managing director P K Goel besides Yadavs. It has been alleged that when Lalu Yadav became railway minister in 2004 he entered into a criminal conspiracy with Kochhars and Sarla Gupta and unidentified IRCTC officials to earn undue pecuniary advantage for himself. Vinay Kochhar allegedly sold three acres of premium land in Patna for Rs 1.47 crore to Delight Marketing on February 25 2005 which was way below circle rate. CBI claimed that Delight Markerting was benami company owned by Sarla acting as front for Lalu Yadav. After sale deed was executed in favour of Delight Marketing the Railway Board on the same day informed IRCTC about its decision for transfer of BNR hotels to IRCTC on as is where is basis CBI FIR has alleged. The upkeep of BNR hotels were transferred by the IRCTC to Sujata Hotels through an alleged rigged and manipulated tender process managed by P K Goel the then MD IRCTC CBI said. The conditions were further tweaked to make Sujata Hotel sole contender for the bid. The CBI has alleged that Yadav as railway minister was aware about the whole process and was keeping a track of the tender proceedings. CBI sources said that while over 15 bid documents were received for both the hotels IRCTC has no records of bidders other than SujataHotels.

(File) Top News Jobs facts and fictionHit by car 25-yr-old techie bleeds to death as passers-by take pictures instead of helping himSunny Leone and Daniel Weber adopt baby girl see first photos of Nisha Kaur WeberRJD chief Lalu Prasad on Friday said his son Tejashwi Yadav would not resign as the Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar and dared anyone to break the grand alliance. Tejashwi Yadav istifa nahi denge. FIR darj hone se koi istifa nahi deta hai (Tejashwi Yadav will not resign. No one resigns because of an FIR) Lalu said after a meeting with RJD legislators. He said the decision was of the RJD legislators. RJD ki or se gatbandhan mein koi aaanch nahi aayega jisko jo karna hai kar le (There will not any problem to the Grand Alliance from the RJD. Let anyone do what he wants) he said. Earlier in the day Nitish Kumar s Janata Dal (United) had said that RJD legislators should stop boasting about its 80 MLAs and Lalu should come clean on the source of his and his family s assets which is now a cause of tension between the two parties. Multiple JD(U) spokespersons took swipes at the RJD on a day Congress president Sonia Gandhi spoke to Nitish. The Congress JD(U) and the RJD are the constituents of the Grand Alliance government ruling Bihar. Sonia and Nitish were expected to discuss the current political situation at a time the JD(U) has supported the NDA s Presidential candidate and Lalu and his family are mired in charges of property accumulation and CBI searches. JD(U) national spokesperson K C Tyagi called the talks between Sonia and Nitish a happy sign but the party s Bihar leaders went on the offensive to mount pressure on Lalu s son Tejashwi to http://www.kinobox.cz/uzivatel/60101 resign. The JD(U) spokespersons in Bihar seemed miffed about RJD MLA Virendra Kumar s Thursday statement that the RJD being a party of 80 MLAs would do what it wants . Party spokesperson Sanjay Singh told The Indian Express: The RJD should have known that when it fought alone in the 2010 Assembly elections it was reduced to a 22-MLA party. It is only because of Nitish Kumar s clean image that the Grand Alliance got 178 seats in the 2015 Assembly polls and RJD got 80 seats. The RJD must not be under any illusion of its make-believe and inflated strength. Another JD (U) spokesperson Neeraj Kumar said: Those who are facing a CBI case must disclose their assets and also reveal their sources. This alone can be a befitting answer to the Opposition. A section of RJD leaders had reportedly floated an idea that all RJD ministers would resign if Tejashwi did to express solidarity with the Lalu family and the party would offer outside support to Nitish. Another set of RJD leaders has dropped the name of Lalu s daughter Rohini Acharya being inducted in the cabinet if Tejashwi is forced to resign. The BJP which has been watching the situation in Bihar with interest said Nitish must make his stand clear . Former Bihar Assembly Opposition leader Nand Kishore Yadav said: There is a political ambiguity in Bihar. We are looking forward to hear from Nitish who has often taken a bold stand on such issues in the past.

Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav and his family members are quite familiar with the spectre of corruption. So recent reports of Bihar deputy chief minister Tejashwi Prasad facing an inquiry by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for amassing benami properties did not come as a shock to many in the state who have long suffered the goonda raj that prevailed in Bihar when RJD was in power.Lalu his wife Rabri Devi and Tejashwi have all been named as accused in a CBI case in connection with transfer of three acres of prime land in Patna to the family by two businessmen allegedly in return for licences to run two IRCTC hotels in Ranchi and Puri back when Lalu was railway minister.File image of Nitish Kumar and Lalu Yadav. PTILet s not forget that despite being a major player in the mahagathbandhan Lalu does not rule Bihar anymore. His alliance partner JDU gave Tejashwi four days to come out with facts in public against the accusations .Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar was elected on a plank of good governance and zero toleration towards corruption. But with more and more corruption charges cropping up against Lalu and Nitish still remaining silent on the issue Sushashan Babu s reputation is under threat.Since Nitish took over as chief minister the face of Bihar has changed for the better. He has been able to tame the jungle raj and bring about development in the state.Lalu ruled over a kingdom where even journalists were murdered in full public view and corruption was rampant. In fact the Yadav clan and corruption are synonymous with each other. You cannot think about one without invoking the other. Not just Lalu and Tejashwi but also Rabri Devi and Lalu s daughter Misa Bharti are being investigated.Tejashwi has been facing a backlash because his security guards thrashed media persons when they tried to question the deputy chief minister. As this Firstpostarticle mentioned the incident was only a reminder of the dark days of the Lalu-Rabri rule. The RJD has always been feared by the people in Bihar which is precisely why Lalu and his clan were discarded in 2005 (Assembly elections) 2009 (General) 2010 (Assembly) when Rabri lost elections from both the constituencies she contested and 2014 (General) the article said.The fact that Tejashwi and his men had no concern of the law and casually justified the beatings again prove that remnants of jungle raj still remain in Bihar.A report in Catch News stated that the rise of Lalu saw an enormous rise in criminal activities in the state. It is also alleged that the most notorious criminal activities were organised and carried out by his brothers-in-law Sadhu and Subhash Yadav. Lalu is even thought to have used muscle power to remain in politics.One of his most trusted men was Mohammad Shahabuddin who was sent to jail after being accused in the murder of Rajiv Raushan. Raushan was a witness in the brutal murder of his two brothers Girish Raj and Satish Raj at Shahabuddin s native village in Siwan district on 16 August 2004. Shahabuddin was convicted on charges of criminal conspiracy kidnapping and murder. Lalu has time and again expressed his support for Shahabuddin and even accused the BJP of creating a controversy around the matter.The Catch News report also said that a lot of political murders were reported under the Lalu-Rabri regime and kidnapping was the only industry that flourished in those years. Rangdari Tax also became mandatory for people to pay under the Lalu regime. As India Today explained it is a tax that one is entitled to collect for just being a rangdar (local terror). The daily turnover of the rangdars was thought to be around Rs 10 lakh. Needless to say they worked in collusion with Lalu and Rabri both of whom had their turn on the chief minister s throne. The police also turned a blind eye to the crime after getting their cut the report said.Nitish s liquor ban also seems to have dealt a major blow to one of the Lalu regime s most popular liquor Ranthi Express. It was a brand of country liquor brewed locally by people with huge political connections. As Ajay Singh explained in this Firstpost article The brew was so strong that one would metaphorically drop dead after consuming just one pouch of the liquor. Nitish is trying to undo the anarchic system run by Lalu in the state and despite being in an alliance with RJD he has surprisingly been able to achieve a lot.As Daily-o pointed out crime under Nitish has declined across most categories including murder and rape. The average number of cognisable crimes per month has declined to 15 089 during November-December 2015.Bihar s GDP (gross domestic product) as a percentage of India s GDP has been steadily increasing since Nitish became the chief minister as Livemint points out. Bihar s per capita income has also increased under Nitish. The life expectancy of the people of Bihar is also higher than the all-India average.Nitish s emergence as chief minister marked a definite deviation from a political order which promoted social acrimony at the expense of people s welfare and development wrote Ajay Singh for Firstpost. Nitish also resurrected people s confidence in the government. The state witnessed construction of a record number of bridges and highways in those five years https://thoughtquote.ticketbud.com/thought-quote which also saw the state s growth rate surpassing even Gujarat.With the Lalu family repeatedly reminding the nation of the bleak days of their rule it has become increasingly difficult for Nitish to continue with his development agenda. He seems to be moving away from his present alliance partner to his former partner the BJP. Nitish was the only Opposition leader to endorse NDA s presidential candidate Ram Nath Kovind. This shift might be an indication of his intention to distance himself from the tainted family and keep the trust of the people alive. Will he actually sever ties and move camps though? We may know that sooner than believed earlier.
