Update from WB. The Hindu Samhati has split on the issue of NRC. The main faction is backing NRC whereas the breakaway faction is against it and is calling it anti-Hindu Bengali. The breakaway faction is backing the TMC. The 25 lakh Bengali Hindu left out of Assam NRC figure is now being spread throughout WB including by Mamata. I don't think the NRC counted Hindu-Muslim split. The left-liberals have suddenly found love for Hindu Bengalies after keeping quiet for 7 decades when they were being raped, killed and ethnically cleansed. All this is targeted to derail the NRC update process. With the BJP wanting to do NRC in WB the election campaign in WB will be based on that. Remains to be seen how the split happens. My own guess is that original Hindu Bengalies of WB will support NRC update as they are worried about the continuous migration and "kabza" of areas in WB. The split is 30% Muslims and 10% illegal Hindu Bdeshis will oppose NRC update whereas 60% WB Hindu Bengalis "may" back NRC update. Mamata is betting on making it a fight between Bengalis versus Hindu-Hindi fundamentalists from north India aka BJP.
breakaway faction - Tapan Da (no more rep of HS) & some more
main faction - alleged 'pro-BJP, pro-RSS' fellows (as alleged by Tapan Da)

correct?
hasn't the Assam CM already assured that the Hindus out of the NRC wont be discarded?

many Bengalis used to say that HS/Tapan Da backs TMC. I couldn't fathom it.

P.S. - i suppose the last time the fiberals of WB had found love for bengali Hindus (bdeshi immigrants though), it culminated into the marichjhapi massacre.

Intellectually Bankrupt Left Ecosystem exposed in Kerala Floods.
Intellectually Bankrupt Left Ecosystem exposed in Kerala Floods.

Sep 03, 2018

Anjali George

A wise man said once; "Crisis exposes a person". Rightly so, the Kerala Floods exposed many.

One of the striking pictures of the devastating floods which killed over 400 people and displaced thousands was the condition of a bridge which connects Malayattur to Kodanad across the Periyar river in Ernakulam district. As the flood waters receded, what was left on the bridge was a part of all the filth that humans had thrown into the river water over the years. It was a testimony to all that’s wrong with us as a society. But this was not the only filth that the receding waters brought to the surface. It also exposed the intellectually bankrupt Leftist ecosystem that resorts to online "mob lynchings" and fake news to set their narrative. But this time, their agenda setting did not work as expected. On the contrary it brought out the chinks in its armor and proved once again that the intellectual cover that its cadre try to give their flawed political and social constructs is nothing but a sham.

Attempts to set the narrative picked up pace soon after the flood waters started receding.

Hundreds of brave personnel of the NDRF, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, state police, fire force and many more had participated in the rescue efforts. An affidavit filed by the state government in the Supreme Court reveals the extent of deployment.

“59 rescue teams of NDRF with 207 boats, 23 columns of ARMY units with 104 boats, 94 rescue teams of NAVY with1 medical team, 9 helicopters, 2 fixed wing aircrafts and 94 boats and 36 teams of COAST GUARD with 49 boats, 2 helicopters, 23 fixed wing helicopters, 2 fixed wing and 27 hired boats, were deployed. AIR FORCE provided 22 helicopters and 23 fixed wing aircrafts, BSF provided 2 companies with one water vehicle team and10 teams of CRPF were deployed. 4100 Fire and Rescue Services personnel were engaged, and they operated 69 Rubber Boats. Odisha fire services provided 244 Firemen and 63 Rubber Boats”.

Another group that played an equally stellar role in the rescue efforts was the fishermen. Expecting nothing in return, they rushed to the flooded areas with their canoes to save the stranded people.

But then the party cadre, many of whom masquerade as independent journalists, could not digest the thought of any credit going to the uniformed personnel, because these soldiers are committed to the unity and integrity of India, something that their ideological brethren – the urban naxals – fight day in and day out.

What if praising these men and women in uniform or the likes of Kanhaiya Kumar from Bihar who ran across the bridge in Cheruthoni in Idukki district with a baby held tightly to his chest evokes sympathy for other Indians in the minds of Keralaites? Any such feeling of empathy would hurt the politics of hatred and regionalism which they have carefully tried to cultivate in the minds of Keralites in the last few years to checkmate Hindutva gaining traction in the state.

Apparatchiks found a way out to prevent this - praise the fishermen as the real rescuers and downplay the work done by the forces They thought that this romanticism of fisherfolk saving lives in a flood would help divert the attention away from others. But they grossly underestimated the people of Kerala, who cutting across politics and religion showered praise on all those who helped.

The attempt to polarize was evident even in newsrooms. A journalist was heard asserting in his TV channel, that the national media had blacked out Kerala floods. He attributes it to the ‘tyranny of distance’. So, called intellectuals followed up such half-baked claims with tweets about "United states of South India", a pipe-dream for a separate nation for the south Indian states.

Tweets and comments by some random crazy people and a dubious saffron-clad man linking the floods to food habits of Malayalees was paraded as some general authoritative statement to push the narrative that the Hindutva supporters had only disdain for Kerala. But once again, their sinister plot drowned in the outpour of love for Kerala from all across the country.

When all their machinations flopped, they latched on to the Rs 700 crore UAE aid story. As the real facts emerged, Arnab Goswami did a report calling out those who floated the theory as a bunch of shameless Indians. The brain dead in the Left saw in it another opportunity to polarize and tried to give it a different spin. They went to town claiming that Arnab had insulted all Malayalees, but this flopped too. Even I have reasons to disagree with Arnab’s journalism, but lying to feed poisonous agendas is horrendous to say the least.

The noise was also to divert people’s attention from their own government’s failure to deal with the crisis.

But how pea-brained should they be to not realize that when they give all the credit to fishermen, it also throws up the question –what exactly was the CPM-led state government and its machinery doing during the flood?

Sections of the intellectually bankrupt Leftist media struggled hard and is still trying its best to prevent a backlash against its favorite government for alleged mismanagement of the calamity. From the local committee dolts to the Lutyens 'liberal', they are desperate. Note the complete absence of reports in the national media, especially English, questioning the state government’s role. Over 400 people died, but the so-called investigative journalists aren’t even bothered about finding if the government messed up while opening the dams. Those who turned the world upside down over Gorakhpur hospital deaths are now shamelessly silent.

When the floods started, we saw a `leading journalist’ questioning the genuineness of some photos of RSS workers helping flood affected. His news portal did a report that the pictures were from Gujarat.

Maybe he was right about the photos in question, but the social media was literally bursting with reports and real photos of volunteers of Seva bharati, the service wing of the RSS, pro-actively helping in the rescue operations and relief work in Kerala. How many of these photos did this journalist or any liberal tweet to appreciate the good work?

With their willingness to work in any adverse conditions, these selfless volunteers were indeed a tremendous source of help in many remote regions that got cut off as waters rose.

When the comrades were allegedly threatening businessmen to pay up and trying to appropriate relief materials, thousands of Seva bharati workers went about silently doing their work - setting up relief camps, collecting and distributing food and other essential items and providing medical help. After the waters receded, thousands of them once again went around cleaning the dirt-filled houses, irrespective of the political affinity or religion of its owners.

Naturally, the comrades are worried that the goodwill earned by their work will help saffron politics in the state.

Their time-tested strategy to stop any saffron surge in Kerala has been to create a barrier between the people and the Hindutva outfits by demonizing the RSS. But thanks to the selfless efforts of the Seva bharati volunteers, their machinations have been punctured.

And It is only a matter of time before their conspiracies fizzle out completely.

^^^ None of the political parties in Kerala (including the obsolete state level BJP) bothered to challenge the GoKL in court or in the state assembly. Finally Kerala floods due to criminal negligence? HC files suo moto PIL . What is stopping them from challenging the CPI(M) led GoKL? Most likely it is a feeling that CPI(M),CPI and INC will have to put up a joint effort against BJP in Lok Sabha 2019 elections.

The rescue & rehabilitation is also going to be a good way to mint money for the various power groups in Kerala. The English media seems to be completely suppressing incidents like theft of relief materials by Kerala police women, and state govt. engineering staff wilfully helping families to claim huge amounts as loss due to floods. It is other online Malayalam media portals etc. (who have their own agenda) which brings out such news. So it is very obvious why GoI does not want to provide easy money to Kerala.

These days NaMo sarkar is coming out with new schemes and actions....nearly one a week! Ayushman rollout, arrests of urban naxals, and the brilliant idea of IPPB put into action....the opposition is being simply bulldozed out of the picture in the runup to LS 2019. The goremint has so much going on in all fronts that it can please almost any constituency at will. I cant think of a better preparation for the election governance wise. And on top of that the monsoon has been a surplus this year.

It is now nearing time for Modi and Amit to jump into the long election campaign stretching till May 2019.....and we may well see an unprecedented Modi wave #2 surpassing 2014.

may be that is why media is trying hard to pain govt fascist, hammer & tong..latest is a lady Sophia based in Montreal associated with Tuticorin stir..she raised a ruckus in aeroplane and out by shouting slogans against fascist BJP leader of TN, she ended up in jail..media trying hard to paint govt as intolerant...another outrage on twitter...but it looks like now these outrage begin & die on twitter only.
Capable of affecting very small population like Delhi junta who voted for Kejriwal after church attack and other intolerance bogies.

journos and naxals still living in lala land of 2004..in delusion they can affect mandate like Burkha Dutt & Coupta did once upon a time. In fact Shekhar Gupta famously said he can bring down govt of Vajpayee and he will, while talking to some one in Pakistan media.

I hope Na.Mo and A.Shah have also factored in the influence pockets of main stream media and have chalked out a strategy to deal with them. To be frank, for a person who is not active in politics and whose 70% of information comes from main stream media; the current GoI is the worst thing to happen in India. The kind of negative propaganda is actually becoming nauseating. It is also a fact that many people have also seen through this tactic and may now seek alternate channels of information.

But from my own personal experience, the kind of polarisation I am seeing in the society is real mind boggling. People getting thrown out of WhatsApp groups, people voluntarily going out of family mailing lists etc. is really unique. The pro-Na.Mo and anti-Na.Mo fights are now getting to real personal levels. And groups like Facebook etc. are a different story all together.

Excellent. Gone are the years and decades in which people would just muddle along without any clear idea of what the country should be like, and ending up voting for some Congi or Commie who seems OK. Now people are finding that they have to choose a side. Nothing wrong about it.

The advantage of being pro-NaMo is that one can provide mountains of positive facts and figures about real advances being made. One should let the anti-NaMo side keep having their apoplectic fits of rage.

The opposition is slowly falling apart under the relentless fire from Shah and NaMo. The MTB idea seems to have come a cropper already. Barely does the opposition manage to start latching on to some issue, than a new front is opened and they have to firefight. I hope and expect that the opposition will be in no shape to put up a real fight by May 2019. JIhadidi and Chandranna may be the only ones able to mount a strong "last stand". Congis seem increasingly resigned to becoming a party that has only one votebank (green) left. Even that is under attack already in Assam.

Also capable of painting a complete anti BJP narrative in TN where local vernacular media picks such thing from Twitter and rant it non stop 24 7. Was browsing through the usual channels and it was completely about petrol price hike, Govt arresting someone questioning. While there is a good counter narrative is Twitter but local media is largely one sided with

Bail is pretty much a norm. The court threw out one charge raised by the TN Police, and the other two sections are any ways bailable. And this act of the woman was a very planned one. She had tweeted about her plans, and once the event actually happened at it became a controversy, she made her twitter posts to be in private mode (can only be seen by a select few).

I would take these events as a ploy by the DMK to hide its own internal issues and to get some mileage against the Central Govt (and the ADMK Govt. in TN). On a larger scale, these events are to be used to come up with a theme of "India has an (undeclared) Emergency like that in 1976". These kind of dramas have already started in the early part of this year. The "secular" gangs perhaps now feel that Modi has reached the same power levels of Indira Ghandi in the 1971-1975 time frame. And they really want that to be brought down.

I regularly scan at least two Malayalam news papers. It is the same story there as well. I am not able to get news from my own mother district, but the news papers tells me of the sad state (!?) in Bihar, UP, Rajasthan, Maharashtra etc. And that has been going for from 2016 itself. The local news outlets really will suck up to the local politicians who they feel still retains power in the state (local area).

We must also understand that in KL and TN, pretty much every one connected with the various establishments (bureaucracy, L&O, media etc.) have not liked the fact that BJP came to power in the year 2016. So any thing and everything is used to diss that party and the central government. But we must also check one thing; has the BJP been strong in these states in the first place? Both in KL & TN; BJP is more like a "bogey man", who the establishment just tries to paint as a big bad guy. But when it comes to Lok Sabha elections what ever these two states vote, really does not help in swinging the numbers. TN also has a history of the state generally being in good terms with the centre (be it DMK or ADMK). KL and its 12-15 MPs just don't matter. KA is a state where BJP has a good presence, and the difference can be felt in the media as well. BJP does gets a fair chance to put her views onto the public.

Controversial former IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt detained
Former Gujarat IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt was today taken into custody over a 1998 case relating to falsely framing a lawyer in a criminal case. Bhatt was taken into custody following directives from the Gujarat High Court.

And I am expecting the media to continue spinning this story to suit their agenda. Again "India having undeclared emergency" type stories would keep on coming in.

Left-Liberal Outrage Bogus: Why Soundararajan Was Right To Take Unruly Sophia To Court
Left-Liberal Outrage Bogus: Why Soundararajan Was Right To Take Unruly Sophia To Court

by Mayuresh Didolkar

Sep 05, 2018,


Snapshot
Sophia’s behaviour was a staggeringly ill-advised and Dr Soundararajan was entirely justified in taking serious cognizance of it.


Predictably, the arrest and subsequent release of an unruly passenger named Lois Sophia, who tried to intimidate Tamil Nadu Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Dr Tamilsai Soundararajan was the talk of the social media yesterday (4 September). While partisanship almost always dictates whose side you are going to come down on, I think in the lead-up to what appears to be an extremely antagonistic 2019, it is important to put the left-liberal-opposition nexus’s howling on this issue in its proper context.

To start with, let’s call Sophia’s behaviour for what it was – an obnoxious, intolerant zealot’s demonstration of her nasty temper that within the confines of the aeroplane could have had very serious consequences for everyone. In the justifiably jittery post 9/11 world, where even NFL stars can get themselves arrested for a bomb joke, it was a staggeringly ill-advised and inconsiderate provocation and Dr Soundararajan was entirely justified in taking serious cognizance of it.

The Left-liberal-opposition axis, however, took very unkindly to it and exploded in outrage about the “fascist” government, arresting “student” for calling the government fascist. Veteran journalist Rajdeep Sardesai demanded that a copy of the Constitution be sent to the police and BJP, because you know creating a ruckus on an aeroplane is a fundamental right enshrined in the Constitution. Another journalist wanted to know on what basis did Dr Soundararajan accuse Sophia of being a terrorist, because as it was established Sophia had photographic evidence of Dr Soundararajan shaking hands with Mussolini himself before accusing the BJP leader of being a fascist!


That the Left strongly believes in intimidation as a valid tool is an established fact. This in turn, stems from their fundamental belief that those in disagreement with them must be either stupid or morally deficient. Why waste time explaining your position to the stupid or the villains? We saw them do this when filmmaker and author Vivek Agnihotri tried to take his film to screen at the Jadhavpur University, we saw them do this when they recently tried to prevent the Pondy Lit Fest from taking place.

This tactic of invading people’s private space when they are in public, is merely an individual level set-up of the broader politics of intimidation. Like most of Indian Left’s idea, this too has its roots in the American Left tactics. As a guerilla tactic it works because:

1) It often catches people when their political guard is supposedly down, eating at a restaurant or boarding a plane.

2) These ugly confrontations in public places also serve as warning to the silent majority of the other side – “mess with us and we won’t let you fly in peace.”

3) Unlike demonstrations on college campuses, these kind of do-it-yourself intimidation attacks require no co-ordination and very little expense.

4) Lastly, this tactic conforms to Saul Alinsky’s rule for radical number 6 – “a good tactic is the one your people enjoy”.

There is nothing that the over-entitled, mollycoddled, snow-flake millennial social justice warriors enjoy as much as drowning out your opponent’s voice by screaming loudly.

For far too long, the Left has successfully employed another one of Saul Alinsky’s rule for radical – “make the opposition live up to their own rules”. Principle of free speech is not recognised in any country on the earth where the Left rules, but still when it comes to a democratic country, they will try to make their opponents live up to the principle of free speech even when it puts people’s safety and well being at risk.

There is of course the favourite Left-liberal twist to this story. We saw it during the intolerance debate earlier, and we saw it again now. Back then they cited critiques of intolerance rhetoric as proof of intolerance itself. Today they offered the lawful action taken against the miscreant as a proof of fascism. This is a little ‘heads, I win; tails, you lose’ situation – if you don’t respond to their charges, they will repeat them until it becomes the truth. If you refute whatever ridiculous assertion they are trying to make, they will wave that about as proof of the same assertion.

Only one problem. For this to work, and to expand exponentially (have no doubt, if left unchecked, you and I are in for similar harassment at the hands of the intolerant Left at least for the next year), your people need to be reasonably sure that they could get away with it. Inside every frothing-at-mouth liberal making “off-with-his-head” proclamations on social media, there is a coward crybully, who finds the idea that their actions have consequence inherently unfair. The miscreant had 16 lawyers appearing on her behalf, she got bail.

However, the fact that there could be legal consequences to such behaviour might scare a few of these social justice warriors away. Also as impressive as the Left ecosystem is and as vast an apparatus they have at their disposal, is it adequate to spring 1,000 such miscreants out of jail? If yes, is it cost effective?

And therein lies the core of the Left-liberal-opposition indignation over this. To them, by not turning the other cheek, or by not laughing off this criminal trespass of her private space, Dr Soundararajan chose one course of action that would force them to go down the rabbit hole they don’t want to.

For the next one year at least, this method of harassment could be a very potent tactic to scare at least a few of the BJP supporters away. But that only works if there is a clean getaway. If the Left hates anyone that disagrees with them, then they positively loathe someone who responds fire with fire. Their vision of an ideal world is where they are screaming “fascists” in the face of their opponents while the opponents, gently and with an apologetic smile, try to reason with them.

An opposition that calls a spade a spade and throws the law at them is a dangerous opposition, mostly because an anarchist ideology like Left can’t do much within the confines of law and order. You and I as common citizens, however, must understand the immense risk such tactics pose to our freedom of movement and personal safety, and continue to call out such uncouth behaviour whenever it happens.

Big fraud by Marxist govt in Kerala in the pretext of flood relief and reconstruction drive

Big fraud by Marxist govt in Kerala in the pretext of flood relief and reconstruction drive

The first life-saving material to land in Kerala was the Bible!

By Team PGurus - September 4, 2018

People in the field who closely monitored the water level were posting messages in the microblogging sites about the ulterior motives of the CPI-M leaders and the Kerala ministers.

The CPI-M led Kerala government was caught with its trousers down as the demand for funds for flood relief and rehabilitation raised by Chief Minister (CM) Pinarayi Vijayan has been found to be a big hoax.

What is causing concern is the delay by the Kerala Government in submitting to the Centre the official data about the extent of damages caused in the man-made floods.


The Chief Minister who has been complaining from day one that the Narendra Modi-led federal government was victimising it because of the former’s secular, liberal, democratic and human rights policies was also campaigning through the mass media that the State needs more than Rs.40,000 crores ($6 billion) for the reconstruction of roads and other infrastructure facilities.

Vijayan had told Prime Minister Modi who visited the State on August 18 that the recent man-made floods had caused a loss of Rs.20,000 crores ($3 billion). The Chief Minister’s claim was that 98,000 km road had been destroyed because of the floods and the State required Rs.13,800 crores ($2 billion) for re-laying the same. But senior officials of the Public Works Department in their stock-taking after the receding of the flood waters found that only 34,372 km of roads have been damaged and this could be reconstructed with just Rs.5800 crores. (The 98,000 km road includes 16,000 km long road built by the PWD, 82,000 km long village roads and 134 small bridges).

The Prime Minister had issued a directive to the National Highway Authority of India to relay the damaged/ destroyed highways and the National Thermal Power Corporation and the Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd to repair/ rectify/ replace the power system and transmission lines which were damaged in the man-made floods.

What is causing concern is the delay by the Kerala Government in submitting to the Centre the official data about the extent of damages caused in the man-made floods. Interestingly, the Kerala Chief Minister in his daily interactions with the media had stated that the damages may cross even Rs.40,000 crores.


The State is yet to respond to the queries made by the NHAI, NTPC and the PGCIL about the details of the damaged caused by the highways and power sector in the disaster. Pinarayi Vijayan did not expect the Prime Minister to make a declaration that the Centre would take over the reconstruction works caused by the man-made floods. Did the CPI-M led Kerala government want to make a big fortune out of the floods by claiming that the State had suffered massive destruction? The Prime Minister also went to the extent of declaring that the houses destroyed/ damaged in the floods would be rebuilt/ repaired under the Prime Minister’s Awas Yojana, a scheme initiated by the Centre for making houses available to all those without a roof over their heads.

What caught the attention in the recent floods was the stance of the Kerala Government and the CPI-M in publicising the “damages” and “destructions” caused by the man-made floods. The Lok Sabha election is around the corner and the CPI-M, past masters in the game of election fund collection saw the heavy rains as an opportunity to collect as much cash under the garb of flood relief.

The Marxists stand with egg on their face following the disclosures made by the UAE Government that there never was an offer of $100 million from them.

If there was a main architect of the man-made floods in Kerala it would be the Marxist minister for power M M Mony. It was Mony, who vehemently opposed the opening of the shutters of the dams in Kerala, especially the Idukki and Edamalayar hydro electric projects in spite of advance warnings issued by the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) and the Ministry of Earth Sciences (MOES)[1] about the impending heavy rains which were to ravage the State[2].

Why was Mony near the Idukki Dam, when the water levels were rising? Was it to ensure that the engineers did not open the shutters of the dam? “Had the dams been opened as per the data given by the IMD and the ministry of earth sciences, this flood would not have occurred,” said a senior power systems engineer[3].


The chief minister claimed that the IMD or MOES did not give an advance warning about the rainfall. When confronted with the press notes issued by these bodies, Vijayan was forced to retract from his allegations. Interestingly, the Kerala Government has filed an affidavit before the Supreme Court in response to a PIL by an Idukki resident stating that the unprecedented high level of water in the Mullaperiyar Dam, owned by Tamil Nadu should be brought down[4].

Tamil Nadu government filed a counter to this statement but not before Chief Minister Edappadi Palaniswamy giving a mouthful to his Kerala counterpart for spreading all kinds of canards about the floods. It was to divert the attention of the public from these two setbacks that the Marxist dominated media in Kerala came out with allegations that Prime Minister Modi had refused the $100 million offered to Kerala by the UAE Government.

The Marxists stand with egg on their face following the disclosures made by the UAE Government that there never was an offer of $100 million from them. If a thorough probe is ordered into the factors that led to the delay in the opening of the shutters of more than 40 dams in the State, the CPI-M would be in for major trouble.

The volunteers of World Vision, one of the first evangelical teams to reach the flood affected Kerala came with tonnes and tonnes of Bibles and registration forms for religious conversion

Though there were heavy rains in the second fortnight of the month of July, it had not caused any major floods barring landslides at some high range locations. But the Marxist media aired close up shots of water gushing down the rivers to create an impression that Kerala has fallen prey to a major natural disaster.

What is of concern is that the flood had literally damaged certain areas in the districts of Pathanamthitta, Ernakulam, Alappuzha, regions close to Periyar River. The floods inflicted maximum damage to places like Chengannur, Thiruvalla, and Aranmula where there is considerable Hindu population. Hundreds of people were caught up in the Aranmula Temple for days because the flood waters had swallowed the roads leading to the temple. But the Kerala Government refused to hand over the rescue and relief operations to the central forces and paid scant regard to the victims who got stranded in the temple as well as in other regions in these places.

The local Marxist leaders, in fact, drove away the volunteers of Seva Bharati (a voluntary rescue team under the RSS who are always the first activists who reach any places coming under natural disasters) and seized all the relief materials brought by the Seva Bharati for the flood victims. This was done allegedly under the instructions of Kodiyeri Balakrishnan, the secretary of the CPI-M, infamous as a black magician as well as a sorcerer. More details about the rescue and relief drama staged by the Marxist volunteers will soon figure in the PGurus.

The volunteers of World Vision, one of the first evangelical teams to reach the flood affected Kerala came with tonnes and tonnes of Bibles and registration forms for religious conversion[5]. The first life-saving material to land in Kerala was the Bibles! Evangelists came under the garb of disaster relief operators!

People in the field who closely monitored the water level were posting messages in the microblogging sites about the ulterior motives of the CPI-M leaders and the Kerala ministers.


On Sunday early morning (September 1, 2018) Pinarayi Vijayan left for the USA for a medical check-up. One wonders what is in store for Kerala and the CM!

All members of the Kerala cabinet are flying abroad on fund collection drives. Please wait for the detailed report from the countries they are visiting.

Not making this up. Anchor asks Sophie’s dad why he invoked caste in his compliant when the issue has no caste dimension.
Dad replies”BJP/Tamilisai attempting an outreach to Devendra Kula Vellalar community. So I added our caste to expose them”






Sophie’s Dad admits that she shouted inside the plane. Claims that since she is a ‘science’ student & not a advocate she is not aware of airline rules. When anchors tells that it it was a preplanned act pointing to her tweet(deleted now) he denies such a tweet exists


lois's now deleted tweet. Surprising that her father, a rice bag convert, cannot even lie convincingly. Very quick to bring up his non-existant "caste" though

This is the kind of attitude which BJP lacks. There should be some other person (not the TN BJP leader) who should file a case citing air line & passenger safety and ask the courts to get this woman added to the "no fly" list. The court may or may not agree with it, but some push has to be made. The commies even managed to make a person who abused the Kerala CM lose his job in the Gelf and got him extradited to India. That kind of vengeful mentality is what BJP lacks.

Looks like the family are neo-converts and of the evangelical X'ianity hue. So this man's tweet can be used to counter them by asking of Xianity practises the caste system? Unless the evangelists are exposed things may not really change. But it is always good to hear the counter-points also getting highlighted immediately.

per twitter, the father is a govt doctor and the mother is also a govt employee.

they seem to have taken mucho advantage of the reservation quotas while remaining crypto.

They are certainly not poor, entire family travelling by air is unusual for converts.

she is definitely a seasoned political activist, closely involved with some separatist organisations and was also directly involved in the very recent and violent sterlite and the highway agitations. Some reports also say that she quickly got admitted in hospital with "stomach ache".

Was that the best that an alleged doctoral candidate at a canadian university could do??

Also, her twitter handle is most illuminating. :lol:


Update: It also emerges now that Sofia surrendered an expired passport. Pudukottai police have asked her to appear before them with the new passport on 8 September.

chetak - I've posted stuff from her articles in polis report and another one..it's on my twitter

her dad also wrote that they are from devendra kula vellalar community in his police complaint against tamilisai.

in a tv interview, the doofus says "we know tamilisai is going to tenkasi to meet devendrars" :lol:

note that devendrars are currently classified as SC, and one of their leaders Krishnaswamy is campaigning to move from SC to MBC, and it is speculated that he will ally with BJP.

what's even more funny is that his daughter enjoyed reservation as SC, but is going with a xtian name.
