Saffron-supported "BBC" site terms Rahul India's most corrupt politician, praises Modi for "approving" hydrogen bomb

By A Representative
After creating a flutter on by calling Congress as one of the 10 most corrupt political parties in the world, a little known-site with a sensational name, BBC News Point (bbcnewspoint.com), which ironically has nothing to do with the prestigious British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), has called Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi as the No 1 corrupt politician of India.
Seeking to make political capital out of it, Sangh Parivar social media outfits, including opindia.com, tried to frantically make out that the site is not run by any saffron outfit but “probably” by Pakistanis, especially supporters of Imran Khan, cricketer-turned-politician “who is often termed as Arvind Kejriwal of Pakistan, enjoying similar support system online”.
Another rightwing site, postcard.news, which copied the BBC News Point “story” on Congress being the fourth most corrupt political party in the world. Interestingly, postcard.news claims itself a “platform not just for countering the lies of mainstream media” but also showcasing “positive change in the country.
Interestingly, however, the site’s contents were first found to have been flashed by a saffron twitter account, @IndiaBTL or India Behind The Lens, calling itself a watchdog, a supporter of “pro-national policies irrespective of any political party or government”, which has supported the cause of the cow vigilantes in the following words: “Gaurakshaks come into being because gangs … pick-up anyone's cow in matter of seconds, slaughter and skin them.”
Interestingly, one of the top twitter “followers” of India Behind The Lens, or @IndiaBTL, is the twitter handle of the the RSS’ mouthpiece, “The Organiser”. However, the right-wing site, opindia.com, claimed, people in India “most likely” picked up the BBC News Point “assessment” of Congress from Pakistani social media users.
Naming Rahul Gandhi No 1 corrupt politician of India, BBC News Point, claiming to be operating from the US, but refusing to offer any address or name of the editor or even phone number, writes in a poorly written English that Rahul is the son of “Rajiv Gandi (sic!) who was the Prime Minister of India”, is a “powerful politician due to his political background but he has done corruption many times in his period of government.”
At the same time, the site praises Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the sixth most powerful politician in the world, who has “vowed to make his homeland corruption free”. Among the great feats the site claims Modi has travelled include approving “a project for development of hydrogen bombs” and signing “agreements” with those who would be “surely putting India’s name among well-developed nations in future.”
Calling itself a “sensational stage”, bbcnewspoint.com contends that it “provides complete, healthy, brief and explained information from all over the world”, adding, the information it provides is “best quality trustworthy” (sic!) and “rare” for everyone to “understand more clearly” (sic!).
After bbcnewspoint.com came up with its “story” that the Congress one of the 10 most corrupt parties in the world, social media trolls, all of them of the saffron ilk, declared (@reachtkb ) that one has to only “look at the company they keep in the top 10 list – it is the who's who of the worst human rights violators across the world”,
Another twitterati told the Congress, “Congratulations you've made it in top 5”, while a third one said, had Enforcement Directorate Minister of Finance been “more active” in digging out Congress scams, it would have been “at d top (No 1) of d corruption list.”

How Hindutva and the Taliban mirror each other in power and ideology

By Bhabani Shankar Nayak*  The recent visit of Taliban-appointed Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi to India and the warm reception extended to him by the Modi government have raised questions about India’s foreign policy direction. The decision appears to lend legitimacy to the Taliban regime, which continues to suppress democratic aspirations in Afghanistan. 

Justice for Zubeen Garg: Fans persist as investigations continue in India and Singapore

By Nava Thakuria*  Even a month after the death of Assam’s cultural icon Zubeen Garg in Singapore under mysterious circumstances, thousands of his fans and admirers across eastern India continue their campaign for “ JusticeForZubeenGarg .” A large digital campaign has gained momentum, with over two million social media users from around the world demanding legal action against those allegedly responsible. Although the Assam government has set up a Special Investigation Team (SIT), which has arrested seven people, and a judicial commission headed by Justice Soumitra Saikia of the Gauhati High Court to oversee the probe, public pressure for justice remains strong.

Celebrating 125 yr old legacy of healthcare work of missionaries

Vilas Shende, director, Mure Memorial Hospital By Moin Qazi* Central India has been one of the most fertile belts for several unique experiments undertaken by missionaries in the field of education and healthcare. The result is a network of several well-known schools, colleges and hospitals that have woven themselves into the social landscape of the region. They have also become a byword for quality and affordable services delivered to all sections of the society. These institutions are characterised by committed and compassionate staff driven by the selfless pursuit of improving the well-being of society. This is the reason why the region has nursed and nurtured so many eminent people who occupy high positions in varied fields across the country as well as beyond. One of the fruits of this legacy is a more than century old iconic hospital that nestles in the heart of Nagpur city. Named as Mure Memorial Hospital after a British warrior who lost his life in a war while defending his cou...

New RTI draft rules inspired by citizen-unfriendly, overtly bureaucratic approach

By Venkatesh Nayak* The Department of Personnel and Training , Government of India has invited comments on a new set of Draft Rules (available in English only) to implement The Right to Information Act, 2005 . The RTI Rules were last amended in 2012 after a long period of consultation with various stakeholders. The Government’s move to put the draft RTI Rules out for people’s comments and suggestions for change is a welcome continuation of the tradition of public consultation. Positive aspects of the Draft RTI Rules While 60-65% of the Draft RTI Rules repeat the content of the 2012 RTI Rules, some new aspects deserve appreciation as they clarify the manner of implementation of key provisions of the RTI Act. These are: Provisions for dealing with non-compliance of the orders and directives of the Central Information Commission (CIC) by public authorities- this was missing in the 2012 RTI Rules. Non-compliance is increasingly becoming a major problem- two of my non-compliance cases are...

History, culture and literature of Fatehpur, UP, from where Maulana Hasrat Mohani hailed

By Vidya Bhushan Rawat*  Maulana Hasrat Mohani was a member of the Constituent Assembly and an extremely important leader of our freedom movement. Born in Unnao district of Uttar Pradesh, Hasrat Mohani's relationship with nearby district of Fatehpur is interesting and not explored much by biographers and historians. Dr Mohammad Ismail Azad Fatehpuri has written a book on Maulana Hasrat Mohani and Fatehpur. The book is in Urdu.  He has just come out with another important book, 'Hindi kee Pratham Rachna: Chandayan' authored by Mulla Daud Dalmai.' During my recent visit to Fatehpur town, I had an opportunity to meet Dr Mohammad Ismail Azad Fatehpuri and recorded a conversation with him on issues of history, culture and literature of Fatehpur. Sharing this conversation here with you. Kindly click this link. --- *Human rights defender. Facebook https://www.facebook.com/vbrawat , X @freetohumanity, Skype @vbrawat

Urgent need to study cause of large number of natural deaths in Gulf countries

By Venkatesh Nayak* According to data tabled in Parliament in April 2018, there are 87.76 lakh (8.77 million) Indians in six Gulf countries, namely Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). While replying to an Unstarred Question (#6091) raised in the Lok Sabha, the Union Minister of State for External Affairs said, during the first half of this financial year alone (between April-September 2018), blue-collared Indian workers in these countries had remitted USD 33.47 Billion back home. Not much is known about the human cost of such earnings which swell up the country’s forex reserves quietly. My recent RTI intervention and research of proceedings in Parliament has revealed that between 2012 and mid-2018 more than 24,570 Indian Workers died in these Gulf countries. This works out to an average of more than 10 deaths per day. For every US$ 1 Billion they remitted to India during the same period there were at least 117 deaths of Indian Workers in Gulf ...

Epic war against caste system is constitutional responsibility of elected government

Edited by well-known Gujarat Dalit rights leader Martin Macwan, the book, “Bhed-Bharat: An Account of Injustice and Atrocities on Dalits and Adivasis (2014-18)” (available in English and Gujarati*) is a selection of news articles on Dalits and Adivasis (2014-2018) published by Dalit Shakti Prakashan, Ahmedabad. Preface to the book, in which Macwan seeks to answer key questions on why the book is needed today: *** The thought of compiling a book on atrocities on Dalits and thus present an overall Indian picture had occurred to me a long time ago. Absence of such a comprehensive picture is a major reason for a weak social and political consciousness among Dalits as well as non-Dalits. But gradually the idea took a different form. I found that lay readers don’t understand numbers and don’t like to read well-researched articles. The best way to reach out to them was storytelling. As I started writing in Gujarati and sharing the idea of the book with my friends, it occurred to me that while...
