Maoists were involved in Sterlite protests. Their posters and banners used in that protest were found in Chattisgarh. It shows "Anti-social elements" had infiltrated Thoothukudi protest. #Rajinikanth's gut instinct was right.

VSRC interim report on Thoothukudi riots in Tamil Nadu establishes a clear nexus between the Church and the rioters

By Team PGurus - June 16, 2018

VSRC interim report on Thoothukudi riots in Tamil Nadu establishes a clear nexus between the Church and the rioters

If the findings by a group of professionals drawn out from fields like internal security, defence forces, judiciary and political observers are any indication, Tamil Nadu has almost become a testing laboratory for the Church-Islamist-Lefts-Maoist-Periyarites axis which want the State to break away from Indian union and form a separate Christian Republic a la the Tamil Eelam visualised by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).

Two prominent figures quoted by the VSRC team are Gaspar and Mohan Lazarus, the former a Catholic priest while the latter is an evangelist.


Vedic Science Research Centre (VSRC), a Chennai based think tank, in a detailed study held all over the State has found that Tamil Nadu is boiling, in a subtle manner, fuelled by the Periarites, Marxists, Church, Maoists and Islamic Terrorists. The riots at Thoothukudy in the month of May 2018 that claimed the lives of 15 persons were fomented by this anti-national axis, the VSRC team found out. The role of international agencies in augmenting the riots has to be probed, said the VSRC report which has been accessed by Team PGurus.

An immaculate investigation by this team brought out the link between the Church and the rioters. “The various factions of the Church are behind the agitation against Sterlite Copper unit at Thoothukudy. Their allegation that the Thoothukudy region is polluted only because of the Sterlite Copper Unit is questionable. There are hundreds of chemical industries in the State Industries Promotion Corporation of Tamil Nadu Industrial Estate. The question is why Sterlite Copper is being singled out?” asked one of the team members who probed the Thoothukudy riots. He spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal from the private army funded by the Church.

The VSRC team also found that the Anti-Sterlite Movement is the continuation of many such agitations and arsons against development initiatives in Tamil Nadu. The VSRC investigators have concluded that police resorted to firing only as a last measure and that too to save more than 200 innocent lives who had to bear the brunt of the rioters.

“The agitation against Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project, the Marina Beach sit-in demanding the removal of the Supreme Court ban on Jallikkattu, the demonstrations against the government of India to set up hydrocarbon plants in Cauvery Delta Region, the ONGC mission to extract shale gas from the Cauvery districts, the agitation demanding the shutting down of the Indian Neutrino Observatory at Theni, and the agitation against the setting up of the world-class InterContinental Container Shipment Terminal in Kanyakumari district are all interconnected. The ultimate idea is to block and prevent all kind of development works in this part of the country and to condition the region for a secessionist movement, which has already taken shape in the area,” said Ramakrishnan Gauthaman, director, VSRC.

The report quotes even former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh who told an international publication that the agitators at Kudankulam in Tirunelveli district were being funded by agencies from foreign countries[1]. “Dr. Manmohan Singh had said that the NGOs in Tirunelveli and Thoothukudy Districts were receiving funds from Organisations based in the United States of America and Scandinavian countries. The money was channeled mainly through the church-based NGOs namely Tuticorin Diocese Association and Tuticorin Multipurpose Social Service Society,” the report quotes.

The report submitted by the VSRC to the Home Ministry is a work done painstakingly. Each point mentioned in the report has been substantiated by documentary evidence, pictures, audio/ video clippings and inputs provided by the residents of the local community. “This controversial plant has been a money spinner for many politicians, bureaucrats, civil society groups and Church priests for long. The current bout of the strike is to oppose the expansion of this plant. The protests against this plant were peaceful throughout and whatever legal or departmental action against the wrongdoings of this plant was the result of this peaceful protest,” said Gauthaman.

The report has also pointed out the abnormal interest shown by certain political groups and religious groups in retaining the services of an official of the Archaeological Survey of India at Keezhadi in Sivaganga District for an ongoing excavation work and also the attempts by most of the Dravidian and Left parties in charging the Centre for alleged attempt to impose Hindi and Sanskrit over Tamil Nadu while there was no such move. The Church-sponsored agitations held in Kanyakumari and Tirunelveli districts in the aftermath of the Okhi cyclones have been listed in the report as part of anti-national initiatives. “The rescue and relief operations held by the Union Government post-Okhi cyclone has been of an exemplary standard but the dominant religious community in the region waged an undeclared war against the government by spreading falsehoods,” says the report which also lists the names of NGOs, individuals, and organisations which are working round-the-clock promoting separatism and Tamil Nation cause.

Two prominent figures quoted by the VSRC team are Gaspar and Mohan Lazarus, the former a Catholic priest while the latter is an evangelist. While Gaspar is a close associate of DMK’s K Kanimozhi, party chief M Karunanidhi’s daughter, Lazarus is the one credited with evangelising hundreds of thousands of people across Tamil Nadu including MDMK leader Vaiko (Y Gopalaswamy). Lazarus said in a TV interview that it was he who brought Vaiko to the path of Jesus[2]. But Vaiko, with his friends in the media like B Kolappan of The Hindu got a news published that he does not discriminate between religions[3]. He has been quoted as saying that the news that he had been converted to Christianity has the potential to harm his political career as he fears that Hindus would not vote for him if they come to know his defection to Christianity. Rationalist Vaiko’s wife Renuka is praying in all Churches and telling special novenas for the election of her husband from one of the constituencies in the State.

The team has found that three churches in the districts of Thoothukudy, Tirunelveli and Kanyakumari are the hubs of all secessionist and anti-national operations in Tamil Nadu. “What is disturbing is that majority of the MLAs from these three districts are Christians because the Christian community would vote only for candidates propped up by the Church,” said one of the team members.

The full VSRC report accessed by Team PGurus is included as an enclosure. Taken aback by the findings of the VSRC, a self-styled group constituted by the Church by including a group of proactive Christians like M G Devasahayam (former IAS officer), Jacob Punnoose (former IPS officer), R T Sreekumar (former IPS officer who is credited with sabotaging India’s space research programme by cooking up the spy scandal of 1995), Kalpana Kannabeeran (Maoist), Hari Paranthaman (former judge of Madras High Court and a known Periyariite) and a slew of fishermen leaders (all belonging to the Christian community), has blamed the police and the Tamil Nadu administration for the rioting and police firing[4]. The report named People’s Inquest, says that public testimonial states that the district administration and police attacked and molested the rioters at the instance of the Sterlite Copper Management. Devasahayam, a known Hindu baiter is trying to put the entire blame on the Narendra Modi government for every mishap that has happened in the country since 1947. As expected the report prepared under the tagline People’s Inquest has come a cropper.

Also JD(S) did not field a candidate to avoid splitting "secular" votes, this does not bode well for BJP in Karnataka in 2019. In the recent assembly election if Congress and JD(S) had a pre-poll alliance they could have bagged up to 166+ seats as their combined vote was bigger than BJP in many of the constituencies where BJP won.

Centre unlikely to introduce National Education Policy soon



Centre unlikely to introduce National Education Policy soon

Kundan Jha
June 16, 2018,

‘The Ministry of Human Resources Development does not want to attract controversy ahead of the 2019 general elections’.


The nation will have to wait till the next term of the government for getting a new National Education Policy (NEP) as the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) is unlikely to introduce the NEP during the remaining tenure of its government, sources close to the MHRD have said.

According to sources, with the general elections round the corner, the Centre is unlikely to take any risk by introducing the NEP, as several provisions in it, particularly related to the role of private players in the education sector and the stress on traditional forms of knowledge, might attract unnecessary controversy.

A source in the MHRD told The Sunday Guardian: “The MHRD is unlikely to introduce the NEP this year as several provisions in it could be contentious and might lead to protests against the government. Therefore, the Ministry is unlikely to take any risk of getting into such a situation ahead of the 2019 elections.”

A committee headed by former ISRO chief K. Kasturirangan was supposed to submit its report in December 2017, but since its inception, the committee assigned to draft the NEP has been given many extensions and the last one was given in March this year. The committee’s last three-month extension expired this month (June), but it has not presented the draft yet.

Though the government claims that the drafting committee is still working on the NEP, sources in the MHRD said that the viewpoints of all stakeholders have already been received and the draft is almost completed. “Due to fear of controversy ahead of 2019 general elections, the MHRD is using diversionary tactics to escape the implementation of the NEP,” the same source cited above said.

Earlier, the HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar’s predecessor Smriti Irani had appointed the first panel headed by former Cabinet Secretary T.S.R. Subramaniam to draft the NEP. The Subramanian panel submitted a 200-page report in November 2016 containing about 90 recommendations to uplift the standards of the primary and higher education sector. However, the report attracted wide criticism and protests against the MHRD ministry. Later, the Subramanian committee was replaced by the Kasturirangan committee.

“In the NEP, the focus is on girls’ education, strengthening public institutions and promotion of traditional knowledge. Also, special attention is given on technical and skill-based education,” the source said.

The Sunday Guardian has learnt that school education could see a paradigm shift after the implementation of the NEP which stresses on the need for affordable education.

Implementation of a new NEP was part of the BJP’s 2014 election manifesto. The existing NEP is two decades old as it was framed in 1986 and revised in 1992.

The same old story, just different actors.

Why not place restrictions on the operations of Air Asia, if they are really serious.

Certain top guys from the previous dispensation are definitely involved in this very messy can of worms.

Air Asia CEO may continue to evade CBI summons
Air Asia CEO may continue to evade CBI summons

Abhinandan Mishra
June 16, 2018,

AirAsia chief executive officer Tony Fernandes, who has been named in a first information report (FIR) filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for allegedly indulging in corruption along with officials of Ministries of Finance and Aviation as well as certain UPA era politicians, is unlikely to join the probe in the near future.

Fernandes, who is presently based in Malaysia, was asked to appear before the CBI for questioning by the apex investigating agency on 6 June, but he did not comply with their request. Instead, he claimed before the Malaysian stock exchange that he had not received any summons from the CBI. This has led to speculation that certain top CBI officials are “going slow” in the probe, by not going after Fernandes with the intensity that they should, to save the bureaucrats and politicians who had played a key role in helping AirAsia CEO.

“If he is questioned, he is going to reveal the names of the politicians and bureaucrats who facilitated the whole deal, illegally. Hence, it is in their interest that Fernandes does not come to India,” said an official source in government.

According to these sources, the airline’s CEO has been advised by his “well-wishers” to stay elusive until the general elections next year and wait for a “favourable” political situation to emerge.

Responding to this newspaper’s email seeking Fernandes’ side of the story, Divya Kumar, who handles AirAsia’s public relations in India, said that “they were not in a position to participate in the story”. To queries related to whether Fernandes had received the CBI summons and, if yes, then why he was not appearing for questioning, Kumar shared the 5 June press note of the company. The release states that “neither AirAsia Group nor Tan Sri Tony Fernandes, in his personal capacity, has received any such notice as of today.”

“If and when, any such notice is received through formal and official channels, then in accordance with the sovereign laws of Malaysia, we will abide by the due process of the letter of the law,” it adds.

There was no response from CBI spokesperson Abhishek Dayal on the newspaper’s email, SMS and phone calls seeking the agency’s response on what it planned to do next since Fernandes, in his official communication to the Malaysian bourse, said that he had not received any communications from the CBI. An official from the Malaysian stock exchange, while replying to this newspaper’s queries on whether it was aware of the criminal charges that had been filed against Fernandes, said that they would share an appropriate response after receiving it from the concerned division.

A government source explained, “Fernandes has been advised to wait till the situation becomes favourable next year as there are chances that there may be a change in the ruling dispensation. Certain officials, who are responsible for handling the probe, too believe that the pressure on them to prosecute those named in the FIR will decrease as the case gradually becomes old, and hence are not pushing too much for Fernandes’ interrogation.”

In the recent assembly election if Congress and JD(S) had a pre-poll alliance they could have bagged up to 166+ seats as their combined vote was bigger than BJP in many of the constituencies where BJP won.
A few factors:
1. The bypoll was held on a working day and conveniently was not declared as a holiday. So most working people simply went to office. This is the main reason for the overall low turnout.
2. The last 2 wards in that tweet are heavily constituted by a certain community, which traditionally votes more heavily and to the Congress. The numbers are there to see.
3.Byrasandra is more mixed, but the workday could have tilted it in Congress' favour.
4. There was some heartburn within the BJP people on the ground about the candidate selection. One councillor simply disappeared from the show-of-strength organized by the party and apparently had some impact.
5. BJP winning this seat would not have made much of a difference to the overall situation, and the new candidate was relatively unknown, so many people must have sat out the election. Again, goes back to the 55% turnout.

JDS not splitting was a factor, but not a major one. A straight head-head here during an election that matters will see the BJP through comfortably. In fact, most politically aware people in BLR were caught by surprise that Jayanagar voted Congress as it was seen to have become a BJP stronghold in the last decade or so (not as much as Bommanahalli or Padmanabhanagar, but still).

Tamils are very sharp by intellect, wonder how do Tamils got in a mess where exclusive ideologies stand together while waging big wars outside(religion v/s communism etcetera).

At the least a big opportunity to expose the unholy nexus. Each and every step these individual ideologies need to prove their secularism instead of ganging up on natives.

Lots of matter circulating on whatsapp about Modi's fitness video. Imho, there was no need to do this almost 2 minute long video in a plush garden when Kashmir is on fire. Best would have been to keep it to 30 seconds - prayanam in a small room.
The point is majority people have made up their minds. Either they are with Namo or they are against.
I guess this might be a correct point, and probably the primary factor in 2019. NaMo has had 4 years to rule, and his record is there to speak for itself. People who saw the record and are still opposed, will remain opposed one year from now.

The question is: are there any fence-sitters who could still swing either way. I dont know what percentage of people would this be. And of course, there is the caste equation. That will require an Amit Shah type strategizing.

There have been several posts about the losses in bypolls as in 'Not to worry....karyakartas did not push hard since this is a bypoll onlee...', or 'BJP local leadership was not particularly concerned, so campaigning was not intense' etc....etc. All of these are red flags in some sense; because it tells one that to convince a majority to vote for BJP in (many) areas, nothing short of an agressive street-level campiagn can do the trick. This suggests there is some reluctance of people to vote BJP...for whatever reason (there might be different reasons in differnt constituencies).

BTW, where is poster 'niran'. Is he here in a different avatar or dropped off BGF.

There is actually a simple explanation for this: being a majority engenders some complacency, and since the majority does not feel like one community, multiple things need to align to get the vote out. This is possible in a bigger election given the willingness to expend the energy, but not so much in an isolated bypoll. Sad, but that's the reality.

They seem to have pulled out all stops. Are we getting the same treatment like the pakis, unrelenting pressure until we sign??


US team of experts in Delhi to discuss key military agreement


US team of experts in Delhi to discuss key military agreement

The US had granted India the status of a ‘Major Defence Partner’ in 2016 but no tangible benefits on military technology front have come to New Delhi so far.


Sushant Singh | New Delhi | June 18, 2018

US team of experts in Delhi to discuss key military agreement The resumption of talks on Communications Compatibility and Security Agreement (COMCASA) signals a breakthrough in the Indian stance.

AS PART of preparations for the 2+2 dialogue between the foreign and defence ministers of India and the US in Washington next month, a team of specialists from the Pentagon will be meeting their counterparts on the Indian side in Delhi from Monday to negotiate the text of a “foundational” military communications agreement.

Official sources told The Indian Express that the US team, which will include lawyers, and policy and technical experts, is scheduled to meet the Indian experts from Monday to Wednesday. They said that the US officials will try and address Indian observations on the draft Communications Compatibility and Security Agreement (COMCASA) submitted earlier.

The resumption of talks on COMCASA signals a breakthrough in the Indian stance. After signing a military logistics agreement with the US in 2016, the Indian government was not keen on signing the two other “foundational” agreements — COMCASA and Basic Exchange and Cooperation Agreement for Geo-spatial Cooperation (BECA).

COMCASA essentially provides a legal framework for the transfer of communication security equipment from the US to India that would facilitate “interoperability” between Indian and US forces — and potentially with other militaries that use US-origin systems for secure data links. It was called the Communication and Information on Security Memorandum of Agreement (CISMOA) before the name was changed to reflect its India-specific nature.

Official sources said they did not expect the finalisation of the COMCASA text or its signing during the inaugural 2+2 dialogue. But an intention to sign the COMCASA in the near future could figure in the joint statement to be issued by both sides in Washington.

American officials contend that COMCASA is meant to facilitate the use of high-end secured communication equipment to be installed on military platforms being sold to India and fully exploit their potential. India’s military, they argue, is currently dependent on commercially available and less secure communication systems on high-end American platforms like C-130Js and the P8I maritime surveillance aircraft.

But the need for signing COMCASA becomes mandatory if India is to get the armed version of the Sea Guardian drones from Washington. New Delhi has been intimated by the US officials that there is no possibility of India using the high-end drones, which is dependent on a secure data and communication system link, without signing the COMCASA.

Defence ministry officials have held reservations about signing the COMCASA as they fear American intrusive access to Indian military communication systems. They also fear that a large quantity of Russian-origin and indigenous Indian military platforms may not be compatible with COMCASA.

The US had granted India the status of a ‘Major Defence Partner’ in 2016 but no tangible benefits on military technology front have come to New Delhi so far. Issues of defence cooperation between the two countries will figure during the visit of Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to Washington next month for the 2+2 dialogue

That seems to be the strategy by all non BJP parties. Ask the center for the impossible and blame them for not fulfilling them. CBN, NItish Kumar and now HDK.

Nobody can touch me till at least till LS polls: H D Kumaraswamy ; and we must appreciate his honesty. He himself knows that this government is not going to last for long. I guess by the time it is LS 2019 the fights -mainly on seat sharing- between JD(S) and Congress would be at its peak, there would also be around 8-9 months of real poor performance, and also a lot of disgruntled MLAs slowly switching sides to the "communal forces".

HD Kumaraswamy, Siddaramaiah at loggerheads over new full-fledged Karnataka budget . The farm loan waiver scheme would be a point which needs to be looked out for.

Mean while there has been some traction on the Gauri Lankesh murder investigation. Lots of arrests have been made, and a "trial by media" has already started. Sri Rama Sene head idiot Pramod Muthalik is also doing his job of pulling in Modi to an incident in which he is no way connected.
I Killed Gauri Lankesh to Save My Religion: Parashuram Waghmore 'Confesses' to SIT (PS: Confession given to a police officer is not relied upon during the subsequent court hearing. Don't know if he has made the same statement to a magistrate as per Sec.164 Cr.PC).

My gut feeling is that a lot of past incidents have allowed this to happen. Tamils are very proud of their Tamil identity, their language and culture. Any other idology can be sold to them if it can be hid behind this Tamil identity. I don't think communism (the CPI(M) & CPI) variety has any traction in Tamil Nadu. The Hindi imposition tried by Nehru et.al may have been one incident which did have a very negative impact. From this incident many Tamils genuinely started believing that North Indians are hell bent on destorying the Tamil identity & language. For the people who want get support of Tamils, they could always show case any other political party as a North Indian party and then say that this party is for destroying Tamil idenity & culture. Similar tactics was adopted against Congress (Congress is a no-body in TN today), and would for sure be used against BJP as well. Terrorist organisations like LTTE (which may have been a crypto-X'ian EJ gang) also worked on the "Tamil Identity & Pride", which made many a Tamil support them. EJ gangs have also now become experts in using the Tamil identity (which generally goes above religion, caste, nationality etc.) to further their agenda. Hinduism in TN (as a religion) may also have been weakened by Periarists, DK etc; which again would be helpful for the EJs as they get a lot of people who are not sure about their religion.

HDK most likely would not get any thing. CBN seems to be speaking with immense greed, where as Nitish Kumar I guess is trying to make best use of the opportunity. So most likely Nitish & BJP may be able to sort out their difference. CBN's gimmick may or may not work. Poor Kumaraswamy may not get any preferential treatment and would have to use KA's revenue to waive the farm loans. The BJP is planning to start a state wide agitation starting end of this month.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party. I just hate the word politics.

IUML promised Rs 20 lakh for house but went back on word, alleges Radhika Vemula

Two years after they were promised a house by the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), the family of University of Hyderabad (UoH) research scholar Rohith Vemula continues to wait for full compensation.

Days after Rohith hung himself from a hostel room, the Muslim League had promised his mother Radhika Vemula, that they would sanction Rs 20 lakh, towards building a house for the family. This after a representation was made by Muslim Students Federation (MSF), a student organisation close to Ambedkar Students Association (ASA), which Rohith was a part of.

The family has stayed in small rented houses all their lives and being granted their own house was a like a dream come true.

According to media reports, a site was also identified at Koppuravuru, which is located between Vijayawada and Guntur. However, two years on, the promises are yet to be fulfilled.

Speaking to TNM, Radhika said, "When Rohith died, I was just crying in the velivada and I had no idea about all the people coming and greeting me. At this time, these party members came from Kerala and said that they heard the news and heard that we were absolutely poor."

"Within one month, they took us to Kerala and made us participate in a big meeting with around 30,000 to 40,000 people and promised that they would sanction Rs 20 lakh and construct a house for us," she added.

Radihka alleges that the IUML gained good political strength because they had projected her as one of the main guests attending several meetings.

"Of all the states, I have travelled most to Kerala. The person in question, CK Subair, (General Secretary of Youth Wing of Kerala unit of Muslim League) would always tell us that there are victims of other incidents of atrocities who are attending the meet and I would go there to visit and talk to them," she narrates.

“In such a context, how can use they make promises and use it for political gain?" she asks.

Radhika also says that in December last year, she was on her way to attend an event in Kerala, when she received news that her daughter-in-law was going to deliver a baby.

"I thought about returning back, but they insisted that the event had been organised and claimed that they even had a cheque worth Rs 15 lakh was ready on the table and they would hand it over to me. Even though they had been promising this for two years, I was still hopeful and I went," she said.

However, Radhika claimed that Subair stepped down from the dais as soon as her speech finished and ignored their repeated calls.

"His aides even assured me that they would meet me at the airport, but we waited for as long as we could and left," she said.

"My hope is that I can finally get a home of my own and also set up a trust under Rohith's name, to help other students from the marginalised communities like him and also provide coaching. For that, I need some money," she added.

Radhika also narrated one instance where several politicians, seemingly from the same party, visited her in Guntur and took photos with a big white cheque that had Rs 25 lakh printed in bold letters.

"I learnt later that they went to Kerala and claimed that they had given me the money. Why should we leave them? Finally, after many womens organisation and activists repeatedly put pressure on them, they sent two cheques by courier worth Rs 2.5 lakh each," Radhika says.

Even out of the two cheques, Radhika claims that one of them has bounced, which is forcing her to repeatedly visit the bank.

"Why are they troubling me so much. They can just call me and hand it over, instead of sending it in this manner, in installments and by courier. If they don't want to give, they can say that openly as well, instead of harssing us in this way," she added.

Speaking to TNM, Subair, Youth League State President, however, called the cheque bounce a clerical mistake. "At first Vemula's family told us the retired officers association would give land for them. But since the association didn't give them land, the family has found an apartment to purchase. I have sent Rs five lakhs to them, cheques of Rs 2.5 lakh each, to pay as advance to buy the house. They withdrew money of one cheque. In the second one there was a mistake in writing the amount in figures, and hence the cheque was bounced. They could had informed us that it was bounced. I will send the cheque again. The five lakh is given as an advance to buy the house,” he said.

Subair also promised to pay the remaining figure, stating, “We will pay the rest ten lakh when the procedures are over. We have set aside Rs 15 lakh for them and won’t step back from the promise. Only thing is that we want to make sure that they get a house and that the money is not lost in anyway.”

Rohith was found hanging in a hostel room on campus in January 2016 and had written a suicide note that sparked outrage across the country.

Lots of matter circulating on whatsapp about Modi's fitness video. Imho, there was no need to do this almost 2 minute long video in a plush garden when Kashmir is on fire. Best would have been to keep it to 30 seconds - prayanam in a small room.
I request you to watch Jaggi Vasudev's answer to a mother who is busy from 4AM to 9PM and have no time for Yoga.

Lets understand the value proposition of Yoga from Yogis, not WA groups.

JK Its burning as it always has been since the advent of Islam there.

:lol:, I can only laugh at the plight of the woman who was quite happy to make money out of her own son's death. Not only IUML even the CPI(M) has milched this incident to the maximum. There were two three MPs who even ran to Hyderabad University to do a sit in strike there. And same chaps just kept quiet when a mentally challenged tribal youth was beaten to death in Kerala.

Kerala is becoming a "home station" for any person who generally fights for causes which harm the country in long term. The latest season (LS 2014) started with that "Mochi chap" of Gujarat riots sharing dias with Qutabudin Ansari (man with folded hands). Then came Kanhayya "Susu" Kumar paraded as the next Che Guevera. After that came the Vemula woman, again taken around various places.

BJP should milch this issue by asking IUML to at least pay the dues to woman who they paraded around and cheated. Surprisingly no Malayalam news outlet has covered this incident. The same news papers generally knows what Yogi had for breakfast every day.

Serves her right. Hopefully such parents will learn from her stupidity, but I suspect greed will prevail in such cases.

Gogoi is tipped to be next CJI. He was one of four judges who staged dharna Kejriwal style and questioned case allotment by Mishra CJI.
Besides Gogoi brother was Assam CM under congress. Lets see how it pans out.

In Delhi
Drama queen Kejriwal had to call off his dharna at LG;s office after HC Delhi admonished him. In no time after court observation entire entourage of AAP vanished from LG office citing health and miscellaneous reasons.
Two of them enacted of having fallen ill but are safe and sound sipping whisky at home.
Kejri is facing huge anti incumbency. So is trying to force Modi govt to impose President rule so that he can play victim card.
Modi govt is nicely playing masterly inactivity.
