Modi ji - "after this interview, anjana om kashyap's twitter-feed would be full of 10000 abuses, calling her bhakt doing bhakti. shweta singh's twitter-feed would be full of 15000 abuses calling her the same. but rahul kanwal would be praised & told, you did well!"......and all break into laughter! :P
I guess most poeple watched the end of interview. In the middle there is another zinger from Modi. Kanwal ask him: Is it true that you have already started planning the actions for the first 100 days of the next govt to be formed after GE 2019.

Modi looked at him and said: I am not going to answer that question. If I say yes, you guys are going to spin it as 'Modi is so arrogant he is taking his vicotry for granted'..... you guys are in it for the TRP, nahin tho Aroon Poorie aap ko roti kaise khilayenge (Aroon Poorie has to feed you after all, this is how he is going to spin it to get TRP ratings). Poor Kanwal had no response to that.

Modi's life is very different from that of any politician in India who is currently running for office.
This was clear from the interview. His work experience is something that parallels that of a minimally-employed, low middle-class (to poor) person doing samaaj seva tyep work (e.g. a low grade government social worker in a small town). There would not be one MP candidate in all of India who is contesting GE 2019 who has a similar experience resume (only Yogi A's is similar, and even he was the head of the math, not a simple karyakarta in the math) . The media waalas (and other politicians) will not be able to slot him into any category ...they are completely out of their depth in any attempt to corner him....even if Modi does not utter a word. His work experience and resume PRIOR to his being Gujarat CM is enough shut people up, frankly.

Having said that, Modi is clearly a very good speaker and extremely skilled debator with fine rhetoric instincts.

pappu degenerate is such a worthless scum, like what Modi ji said, that his own parry doesnt take him seriously. else what is the reason that why cant an interview of him be fixed with atleast ahle-durbaris like pallavi ghosh, sagarika ghose etc?! he's considered such an imbecile by his own party, that following his super-laughable interviews in 2014, the congpotty decided not to let him loose for interviews; his pune-farce with malishka being the last straw for them me thinks.
No doubt about that. Were one to feed the more intellectually endowed Congoon a few Vodkas in a friendly atmosphere, he/she will likely start cracking jokes on the idiocy of Pappu in a moment of honesty.

But that begs the question as to why they entire Congoon ecosystem clings to Pappu and his family so profusely? I have done before, but I posit the following:

1. The white skin of Sonia, Priyanka, and Pappu are vote getters in a still mostly colonized India. And this cuts across caste and class lines. Look at how the Lutyen ecosystem bends down on their knees in front of Pappu. One would think that in an aspirational India, Pappu would have been shown the boot by those who came up the hard way, but many of them fall prey to white skin. (Sad part is that given the political correctness, and westernized feminist crap that dominates among Lutyen chatterati, BJP dare not point to this angle especially to point out why Congoons trot out their Priyanka trophy).

2. Many 'lower caste' Hindus and for sure p!ssfuls look at Sonia, Pappu, and Priyanka as bulwarks against 'oppressive' Hindu 'upper castes' Note how cleverly Congoons have coined 'Nyay' for the freebies. The hidden casteist meaning of this is not lost on many Dalits and Muslims.

3. Within the high-command, there can never be challenge to the tyranny of Pappu family. Late PM Narisimha Rao tried and was summarily trashed. The 'lower caste' heavyweights like Mallikarjun Khagre, Muslims heavy weights like Ahmed Patel etc will not let a more capable 'lower caste' or 'upper caste' leader with Hindu leanings to emerge.

4. Without Pappu & Co, Congoons will collapse like nine pins. The ideological contradictions among members will come to the fore and its the end of the grand old party.

Have you guys seen the Kashi Viswanath Corridor project in Kashi? I just rechecked the videos. If I am not mistaken the project has basically cleared and surrounded the original temple i.e. the Gyanvapi mosque from all sides. So that disputed site except the mosque is now gone.
Supratik, thanks for highlighting the above for me. Didn't really know that this was going on, but what a fantastic project all around. Yet again it really highlights what Modi and Yogi are both really trying to do for Hindus across the country. Of course it seems there is also a lot of propaganda when it comes to folks who believe that they did not now receive enough compensation. Also multiple skewed propaganda videos out there as well with regard to small mandirs in the bylanes being removed as well. Lots of Congress supporters coming on the camera as well as on multiple websites alleging rampant destruction as well.
I hope to see it completed by next year. It would truly mean that the Gyanvapi mosque would indeed be completely surrounded on all three sides by the mandir complex. I'll try to see if we can create a positive public opinion video regarding this. Thanks again.
Swarajya had done a very good analysis of the subject and published an article on it in its last issue..perhaps you could interview the same people and govt officers who were interviewed by Swarajya?
Thanks for the article reference Triank. I read the swarajya article and really a strong rebuttal to the multitude of articles indicating public disapproval. Indeed there is a huge propaganda mission to try and stop the project. Amazing to see how many temples were hidden in houses and it almost seems like a rebirth of history for the Kashi temple. Makes you think of any other places like this exist, where Hindu heritage has been buried into the dirt. The other thing is, that I am not really located in Varanasi at all but really just in the Delhi area where I have multiple reporters. However trick is to really just find the right person and who wants to come on camera to speak on the topic. I trust that my small staff will be able to accomplish this. Right now, we're working on the Hindu Temple issue and state control as well as the evangelization of Andhra.

Muns the small temples are intact. Only the concrete jungle has been removed. The gyanvapi mosque I think is in the center of the project. I hope they do something similar with the other ghats and the Mathura temple as well.
Hi Supratik,

Posting the video here from the PMs own handle. Gives a clear layout of the Mandir Complex with the mosque to the left-hand side. From my view right at the end seems to be completely surrounded on all sides by either buildings related to the mandir complex. This includes the security section on the left when looking towards the Ganga Ghat. In either case, this makes the Gyanvapi mosque, rather inconsequential and dare I say, somewhat exposed for another babri type situation.
Next stop as you mentioned, Mathura. Sigh, it has taken so long, to reclaim some of this history back.

more vigorous crackdown??

Catholic Church wants more vigorous crackdown on Sri Lankan militants

Catholic Church wants more vigorous crackdown on Sri Lankan militants

Churches were shut across the nation on Sunday, a week after the bombings, for fear of an attack by Islamic State group-linked militants.


29th April 2019



COLOMBO: The Catholic Church in Sri Lanka said Monday that the government should crack down on Islamic extremists with more vigour "as if on war footing" in the aftermath of the Easter bombings.

Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith, the archbishop of Colombo, said the church may not be able to stop people from taking the law into their own hands unless the government conducts a more thorough investigation and does more to prevent further attacks.


The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for the Easter attacks, which killed more than 250 people, and investigators are looking into the extent of the extremist group's direct involvement with the local radicalized Muslims who carried out the suicide bombings.

The cardinal said he is not satisfied with how the government has conducted its investigations so far.

"All the security forces should be involved and function as if on a war footing," Ranjith told reporters. "I want to state that we may not be able to keep people under control in the absence of a stronger security program," he said.


"We can't forever give them false promises and keep them calm." He urged the government "to implement a proper program in order that the people don't take the law into their own hands." Ranjith, however, said the church assures Muslims that it will not allow any revenge attacks against them.

He also said church services would be held this coming Sunday after necessary precautions are taken. The number of Masses will be reduced at every church, with police and parish committees entrusted with the task of looking out for strangers.


Churches were shut across the nation on Sunday, a week after the bombings, for fear of an attack by Islamic State group-linked militants.

Sri Lanka's Catholics celebrated Mass in their homes as Ranjith presided over a televised service. The closing of the churches came after local officials and the US Embassy in Colombo warned that more militants remained on the loose with explosives.

Even though all of the island nation's schools are to reopen May 6, Ranjith said Catholic schools could be kept closed after that date if the church is not satisfied with security.

Meanwhile, the government has banned all kinds of face coverings that may conceal people's identities. The emergency law, which took effect Monday, prevents Muslim women from veiling their faces. The decision came after the Cabinet had proposed laws on face veils at a recent meeting.

It had deferred the matter until talks with Islamic clerics could be held, on the advice of Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe. The Easter attacks were carried out by seven suicide bombers who blew themselves up targeting three churches and three luxury hotels.

Two other suicide bombers died triggering blasts, one to avoid capture by the police and another at an inn where he was staying.

the crackpots have surfaced again



CPI(M) manifesto: The communists want to cut ties with USA and Israel, reverse all reforms in defence manufacturing

CPI(M) manifesto: The communists want to cut ties with USA and Israel, reverse all reforms in defence manufacturing


Ahead of the ongoing Lok Sabha elections, the Communist Party of India (Marxist) released its Manifest on 28th March this year. It is often alleged that the communists in India care more about other countries compared to India, and the manifesto published by CPI(M) reflects that philosophy. It is filled with promises that are designed to make India weaker in front of its rivals in the world.

Party wants to address the concerns of Rohingya, but silent on religious minorities persecuted in neighbouring Pakistan and Bangladesh, or even the Chinese crackdown on Uighur Muslims. Interestingly, Venezuela is mentioned twice in the Communist Manifesto, as the party wants India to oppose USA interventions in the country. The Venezuelan crisis is a result of decades of mis‑governance by the socialists, but the Communist Party of India wants to blame the United States for the same.

Sri Lanka bombings carry a stark message for India



Sri Lanka bombings carry a stark message for India

The main group behind the bombings, the National Thowheed Jamath (NTJ), is an ideological offspring of the rapidly growing, Saudi-funded Tamil Nadu Thowheed Jamath (TNTJ)

Apr 26, 2019,
Brahma Chellaney.



The Sri Lanka bombings — one of the world’s deadliest acts of terrorism — highlight the growing terrorist threat to democratic, secular states. Far from a concerted and sustained global war on terror, the anti-terrorism fight is being undermined by geopolitics. The global ideological movement fuelling terrorism is Wahhabi jihadism. Yet, the US-ordered total ban on Iranian oil exports from May 3 will reward this jihadism’s financiers.

Despite specific and detailed Indian intelligence warnings, Sri Lanka failed to avert the bombings, in large part because of a divided and dysfunctional government. However, Sri Lanka was quick to detain the bombers’ family members for questioning once the suicide killers were identified. By contrast, the Pulwama bomber’s family members not only remained free but also gave media interviews rationalising the suicide attack.

Sri Lanka has a blood-soaked history, but the scale and intensity of the latest attacks were unprecedented. The coordinated bombings, in less than 30 minutes, killed more people than the 2008 Mumbai terrorist siege, which lasted nearly four days. Actually, in terms of sophisticated methods and synchronised lethality, they were eerily similar to the 1993 serial bombings that targeted Mumbai. Jihadists have long used India as a laboratory: Major acts of terror first tried out in India and then replicated elsewhere include attacks on symbols of State authority, mid-air bombing of a commercial jetliner and coordinated strikes on a city transportation system.

The series of extraordinary steps Sri Lanka took after the bombings — blocking social media, imposing a daily dusk-to-dawn curfew, closing schools until April 29 and proclaiming an emergency law — may seem unthinkable in terrorism-scarred but rights-oriented India. But such measures were necessary to maintain control and to deter large-scale reprisal attacks against Muslims.


Ironically, in the days leading up to the Sri Lanka bombings, the 2008 Mumbai attacks were back in the news in India because of Bharatiya Janata Party candidate Pragya Thakur’s controversial comment on Hemant Karkare, the police officer gunned down in that siege. The irony of ironies is that those 26/11 attacks received more Indian attention this month than on their 10th anniversary five months ago. This underscores a troubling truth: Nothing draws the attention of Indians more than political controversy, however petty.

The Spanish-American philosopher George Santayana famously said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” This is especially true of India, which — far from heeding the 26/11 lessons — doesn’t remember its martyrs. How many Indians know the name of Tukaram Omble, the “hero among heroes” of 26/11? An ex-army soldier, who became a police assistant sub-inspector, Omble — by ensuring terrorist Ajmal Kasab’s capture alive — provided the clinching evidence of Pakistan’s involvement in 26/11. Kasab was captured after the ambush killing of six cops, including Karkare and additional commissioner Ashok Kamte. Omble grabbed the barrel of Kasab’s AK-47 and took a volley of fired bullets, allowing others to seize Kasab.

Islamic State video throws spotlight on suspected ringleader of Sri Lanka bombings
All the 10 Pakistani terrorists involved in 26/11 wore red string wristbands for Hindus that Pakistani-American David Headley got for them from Mumbai’s Siddhivinayak Temple. But for Kasab’s capture (and confession) helping to indisputably establish Pakistan’s direct involvement, Pakistan’s wicked plan was to portray 26/11 as exemplifying the rise of Hindu terrorism by capitalising on the then Manmohan Singh government’s classification of the 2006-07 blasts in Malegaon, Ajmer Sharif, Mecca Masjid and Samjhauta Express as “Hindu terror”.

Omble’s extraordinary bravery thus should never be forgotten. Nor the sacrifices of the other 26/11 martyrs awarded the Ashok Chakra — Sandeep Unnikrishnan, Gajender Singh, Vijay Salaskar, Karkare and Kamte. The 26/11 siege affected the national psyche more deeply than any other terrorist attack. Yet such is India’s lack of a sense of remembrance that it laid the Kartarpur Corridor’s cornerstone on the 10th anniversary of 26/11, with an oblivious Indian vice president calling it a “historic day”. Pakistan couldn’t have received a better gift from India.

Make no mistake: The Sri Lanka attacks hold major implications for Indian security, in part because the main group behind the bombings, the National Thowheed Jamath (NTJ), is an ideological offspring of the rapidly growing, Saudi-funded Tamil Nadu Thowheed Jamath (TNTJ). The TNTJ, wedded to fanatical Wahhabism, rails against idolaters. It helped establish the Sri Lanka Thowheed Jamath, from which the bomber outfit NTJ emerged as a splinter.

Like the 2016 brutal Dhaka café attack, the Sri Lanka slaughter was carried out by educated Islamists from well-off families. And just as Bangladesh blamed Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) for the attack, the NTJ has ties with ISI’s front organisation, Lashkar-e-Taiba, which, through its Sri Lanka operations, has sought links with the TNTJ in India. NTJ leader Zaharan Hashim was inspired by fugitive Indian preacher Zakir Naik’s sermons and received funds from Indian jihadists. It would be paradoxical if India, which tipped off Sri Lanka about the bombing plot, became a victim itself of Thowheed Jamat terror. First of all, it must outlaw the TNTJ.

Brahma Chellaney is a geostrategist

Reading the post poll analysis after phase4, looks like NDA will need only 100 more seats in the remaining phases for majority. It is an easy target. But the big question can BJP alone cross 272? Maybe possible only with a clean sweep of remaining seats in UP and surprisingly better results in WB in-spite of booth rigging etc.
As always, saavysachi is giving ground reports without too much hyperbole.

Taj, if what you are saying is true, NDA is not in such great shape at the moment. Because in the last 3 phases, NDA has to win 100 of the 150 odd remaining seats. Hit ratio has to be high

according to the most of the political pundits, next 3 phases are going thru mostly NDA's strong holds, so I am assuming that getting 100 from 169 may not be tough.

Sri Lanka blasts: NIA arrest of Kerala youth 'inspired' by NTJ chief raises no eyebrows as terrorist recruiters find fertile ground



Sri Lanka blasts: NIA arrest of Kerala youth 'inspired' by NTJ chief raises no eyebrows as terrorist recruiters find fertile ground

TK Devasia May 01, 2019

National Investigation Agency (NIA) raids at the homes of three people in Kerala following a Sri Lankan government statement that the mastermind behind the Easter blasts had links to south India have not raised any eyebrows in the state. For the past couple of decades, Malayali names have been cropping up with some regularity with regard to terror attacks. The Malayali connection to blasts outside the country started coming under the scanner of authorities after the 2015 Paris theatre attack which killed over 100.

A French anti-terror investigation agency grilled Thodupuzha resident Subahani Haja Moideen in December following an NIA revelation that he knew the ultras who carried out the attacks at the theatre in the French capital. Subahani, who was arrested from Tamil Nadu by the NIA in 2016 in connection with a plot targeting judges and tourists in the Kerala, is now lodged in Viyur Central Jail in Thrissur district. He pleaded ignorance about the Paris blast plot. The NIA raided the homes of two persons in Kasargod and one youth in Palakkad on Sunday after they were found following Zahran Hashim, who is believed to have masterminded the Lanka attacks, on social media networks.

Following the raids, the NIA sleuths have taken into custody Riyas Aboobacker from Kollangode in Palakkad and asked Ahammed Araft and Aboobacker Siddique from Kasargod to appear before the NIA office at Kochi. During the search, a number of digital devices including mobile phones, SIM cards, memory cards, pen drives, DVDs of preacher Zakir Naik and untitled DVDs, CDs with religious speeches, books of Naik and Syed Kutheb as well as diaries with handwritten notes in Arabic and Malayalam were seized, according to an NIA statement.

Even though the NIA could not establish any direct link between the three and the suspected Lankan blast mastermind, a leader of the Sri Lankan National Thowheed Jamath (NTJ), the NIA has found evidence linking them to the Tamil Nadu-based Thowheed Jamath, which denied any connection with the Sri Lankan outfit. However, the NIA is not ready to accept the denial given the Sri Lankan government's statement that Hashim spent a lot of time in south India. Moreover, the Islamic State circulated the video claiming responsibility for the blasts in Tamil and Malayalam languages in addition to Arabic and English.

State intelligence has also been collecting details of those associated with Thowheed following the Islamic State communique. They found 60 people from Vandiperiyar, Perumbavoor, Thrissur and Palakkad who allegedly attended meetings organised by Thowheed Jamath in 2016 in Madurai and Namakkal. The NIA is looking for the links of the three suspects from Kasargod and Palakkad with Islamic State sympathisers. An Indian Express report quoted NIA IG Alok Mittal as saying they suspected three persons of having links with 21 youths who left Kerala in July 2016 to join Islamic State. Curiously, 17 of them from Kasargod and four from Palakkad.

The report said one of the three was found to be in touch with Abdul Rashid Abdulla, a Kozhikode youth who joined the Islamic State in 2016. Rashid was found luring people to join Islamic State even after he left India. He attended a course on Islam in Sri Lanka before joining the jihadist outfit. The names of Aboobacker and Arafat were also mentioned by Shaibu Nihar of Koduvally in Kozhikode district after he was arrested from Kozhikode airport on his return from Qatar on 10 April in connection with a case related to facilitating the travel of some people to Syria. The two will be questioned on the basis of the information provided by Shaibu, who is in judicial custody.

The state police have taken the suspicion of Sri Lankan authorities over the links of the blasts accused with south India, especially the nexus between terrorism and international drug trade seriously since many of the people from the state who have joined the IS had either attended courses in Sri Lanka or gone via Colombo. Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena had claimed that the suicide bomb attacks that rocked his country on the Easter Sunday were a reprisal for his hard campaign against drug trafficking, which, he says, is the main source of funding for terror groups.

Rising drug smuggling and its usage have been a big headache for the state. State Excise Commissioner Rishi Raj Singh said the state was becoming a hub for transporting drugs to national and international markets. He said his department seized drugs worth Rs 700 crore in the last two years. The radicalisation is viewed with surprise by Kerala watchers since the state has been one of India’s most diverse and its people the most educated. Though seeds of extremism were sowed in the state by cleric Abdul Nassar Madhani with the launch of a radical outfit called Islamic Sevak Sangh (ISS) as a counter to the RSS following the foundation stone laying of Ram temple at Ayodhya in 1989, terror raised its ugly head after the demolition of the Babri mosque.

The demolition led to the emergence of several organisations such as Al-Ummah, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), National Development Front (NDF), Popular Front of India (PFI) and Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI), which made their presence felt through acts of violence. The first organised attack came five years to the day the Babri Masjid was demolished — 6 December, 1997 — when bombs ripped through a train compartment of the Chennai-Alappuzha Express train at Thrissur station. Though no such terror strike has taken place in the state since, many were found involved in blasts in Coimbatore, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and other cities. Many of them, including Madhani, are in jail in connection with these cases.

The Islamic State targeted members of these outfits mostly when they started recruiting people from India in their mission to reestablish an 'Islamic Caliphate' across the world. Islamic State recruiters operated mainly through religious centres, offering the dream of heaven. Kerala is a major hub for Islamic State recruitment. According to police, more than 100 people from the state have joined the outfit. Of these, 21 were from Kasaragod and 38 from Kannur. Since 2016, sixteen have been killed in raids by US and other forces fighting the Islamic State in various countries.

It looks like the SL authorities not only made their own special and "secular" brand of koolaid but also drank it in copious quantities too.

It looks like the offshore lefties and the liberandu loonies and low IQ sold out academics and presstitutes have orchestrated the charade and have fooled the SLs into subscribing to their poisonous anti India and anti Hindu views.




How liberal campaign over ‘intolerance’ could have led to hundreds dying in Sri Lanka bombings. Will liberals pause and reflect?

Or is defaming Modi govt such a priority that they don’t care any more?



Sri Lanka didn’t listen. If only they had listened.

Two obvious suspects emerge here. One is political correctness, a tendency to tiptoe around the ever-present threat of Islamic fundamentalism, downplaying the dangers, closing eyes and pretending that everything is fine.

The other is the vicious slander campaign in both domestic and global media about India being an “intolerant country” where the Muslim minority is persecuted. A simple Google search shows how The New York Times, for example, has been churning out scary headlines about India on an industrial scale.



Image


Such viciously unfair coverage about India in the world’s most influential “news” outlets is bound to have an impact. What started with desperate anti-Modi media in India possibly calling in favours with friends in the West might well be driving impressions about India among the general public everywhere. And perhaps more importantly, such media has its maximum impact in top diplomatic circles where policy is really decided.

Recently, I wrote about how big news channels in distant South America are being fed outright lies about India, such as projecting Sardar Patel as a “right-wing bigot” who liked to annex Muslim ruled states! This tells you the scale of the campaign launched to defame India.

Did this campaign have an impact on the minds of officials who ignored Indian intelligence inputs possibly on the assumption that “intolerant” India was trying to point fingers at their Muslim minority?

Does it help India’s image when Indian and global media suggest that India’s bid to punish Pakistan after the Pulwama terror attack was driven by some kind of anti-Muslim agenda?


Look at this article in Firstpost, which suggests that India’s military response to Pulwama attack had something do with “BJP’s anxiety” or with attitudes towards Indian Muslims:

Image


Image
Can you believe the stuff that is being written about India in supposedly ‘mainstream’ outlets? India’s strikes on terrorist camps in Balakot has something to do with “Muslims” being the symbolic enemy? What are they even talking about? Our Air Force strikes at a Jaish terrorist camp and you decide to treat it as an attack on Muslims in general?

Can The New York Times be far behind when it comes to connecting India’s military action against terrorist camps with some imaginary anti-Muslim agenda? See?



Image

Accusing Modi of making Pulwama the basis his campaign that is supposedly built around a “terrorism-Pakistan-Muslim” threat!

For at least two months now, the liberal media has been going to town telling everybody that India is a hateful country that is fighting not terrorism but innocent Muslims.

This fake propaganda might be having very real and very tragic consequences. Do you remember Sunday, Apr 21, when the blasts were still happening in Colombo and the body count was going up with every passing hour? Claims began to surface on social media, accompanied by some documents, suggesting that India had provided intelligence inputs about the possibility of Islamist terror attacks in Sri Lanka.

Do you remember what our liberals were doing on Apr 21? They were busy trying to “debunk” the obvious truth, trying to prove that it was not even an Islamist terror attack at all! One alleged fact checker, who co-founded a website that is much promoted by liberals in India and abroad, spent his entire day trying to prove that India provided no intelligence inputs and that it was not even an Islamist terror attack! Remember?

Hundreds of innocents have lost their lives in bombings in Sri Lanka. And the global slander campaign against India could have led Sri Lankan officials to view Indian intelligence reports with suspicion. Will liberals pause and reflect? Or is defaming Modi govt such a priority that they don’t care any more?

wow.

their passports should be cancelled for national security reasons.



from the quoted article

As on March 30, 2018, 90 Keralites were with the ISIS. Of this, 16 had been killed in raids by US and other forces fighting IS in various countries in the Middle East, since 2016. Of the 90, 21 were from Kasaragod and 38 from Kannur. At least 12 were from Bahrain.

Guys, scanning through the headlines this morning, noticed Pappu was being interviewed by his PR spokesman, Sreenivasan Jain. Again, from the headlines and twitter feeds of prominent BJP supporters, I din't sense any major gaffes from Pappu. Anybody watched and anything of note?

after doing some excel sheet calculations, my conservative estimate for NDA is closer to 300 (+- 5). I don't know how Dr PP and others are projecting 330 and above. It can happen only by BJP getting close to what they got in UP in 2014 and coming up with big positive surprise in WB.

There are similar worthies from the city of Hyderabad who tried to go to 'fight for ISIS'. Some were 'dissuaded' from going, and I believe, there are others that actually went. This was 2 years ago and a similar story out of WB as well where some pious youth went. Not only they themselves are a national security red flag, the bigger red flag is the means by which they were converted to ISIS-pasand jihadis. Those cells are still there in KL, TG, WB. These guys are a bigger national security threat. They can churn out more such people and deploy them in Syria or .....India.

There is a significant section of people in kerala who are brainwashed.. this has been over several decades..may be President's rule is needed for extended time to clean up the mess as both political fronts won't take any action because of votes.

From my understanding Hyderabad (erst while Nizam territory) and Kerala (state) Muslims are not dirt poor, so much so that they have to take up arms to make a living. They are as educated as the non-Muslims in the region and have landed up in every possible job which some one could aspire. So excuses like "marginalisation" etc. is not even believable. Poverty, lack of opportunities; these kind of "secular" excuses are not going to fly any more. Rather, these people have landed up in critical positions that they can play havoc with a disorganised majority.

In Kerala the rot has been happening ever since 1990s. Perhaps at the same time when Kashmiri Jehadis also started a more violent strike in that part of the country. Abdul Nasser Mahdani came up with his Islamic Sevak Sangh (ISS) to counter RSS, and his speeches were highly vitriolic. K.P's SB CID have got the recordings, but that tapes are still under very safe custody. Mahdani & Co met his nemesis when the Coimbatore blasts happened. But it must be factored that a pan KL-TN based Jehadi group had been already formed and were very active. Sleeper cells etc. were already well placed, with perhaps Urdu/Arabic etc. being a very common language to communicate.

In late 1990s there was another terror outfit in KL (NDF?) which filled the vacuum created after Shri. Mahdani's arrest and subsequent vacation at Central Prison, Coimbatore. There were a series of deaths of RSS leaders in some coastal districts in Kerala, all dubbed as accidents. In case any suspicion was there, it fell on local CPI(M) cadre. But looks like K.P higher ups did note some thing amiss, and further investigations brought out a terror organisation which worked with extreme efficiency. The lowest rung only knew their immediate leader, and this leader knew just the chap above him. Mosques were the usual rendezvous points. First arrests were of some mullahs all associated with close working of mosques. This gang was busted by some police officials, whose name I have not seen any time after :). It was then believed that Islamic terrorism has been dealt with in Kerala.

But from then on radicalisation has been quite steady. And internet and cell phones etc. made life much more simpler for these folks. Chopping the hand of a X'ian professor who is said to have insulted Islam. Holding of radicalisation camps in multiple areas in Kerala have happened. More such activities seems to be happening else where as well. The Kerala based MSM has also been co-opted so much so that any news against Islamic terrorism does not get much traction in KL. This was done by bullying and cutting of advertisement revenue. So much so that even the arrest of few people from Kerala after the Sri Lanka blasts are kind of played down in Kerala. Every organisation, business entity which requires money have been bought out by Islamists. KL is a state which requires help & aid for pretty much every thing. And most of the money inflow is from the Middle Eastern sheikdoms.

100% literate (self-claimed) KL society is still living in a cuckoo world. Islamic terrorists have now pretty much entered every domain in the social sphere in Kerala. The various communist regimes (I cannot call them governments) have encouraged them to grow; just like what happened in West Bengal. The majority community (and perhaps the X'ian minorities as well) have been given enough "kool aid" to believe that things are normal in the "Socialist Emirate of Kerala" :roll:. KL may not be seeing overt incidents of bomb blasts, mass killings etc; mainly because no terrorist would want to attack their own home territory (at the moment).

this should have been in someone's election manifesto

we have helped to radicalize enough traitors by foolishly allowing public funerals in cashmere even of foreign and paki terrorists

bodies should be disposed of quietly and without fuss in unmarked graves or better still simply cremated. After all, "terrorists" have "no religion", right
