A fresh and alarming wave of harassment, intimidation, and targeted assaults against Kashmiri shawl sellers has been reported across Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Haryana, and Delhi. In several instances over the past 30 hours, traders have allegedly been forced to chant Jai Shri Ram slogans, while in other cases they...

Dozens of Kashmiri shawl sellers, who have been working in Himachal Pradesh for over 25- 30 years, are now being harassed, assaulted, and threatened to leave the state in the Ghumarwin area of Bilaspur district by right-wing groups. This is the 17th such incident occurred in Himachal Pradesh this year. They have been threatened and told to leave the state, not allowed to sell their shawls, their belongings have been vandalised, and even their mobile phones were smashed when they tried to record these incidents. Despite having proper verification and valid documents, they are being prevented from carrying out their business, and their landlords are being pressured to evict them. These shawl sellers have contributed immensely to the local economy and have become an integral part of the social fabric over the decades. Yet today, they are facing intimidation, insecurity, and fear. This reflects a dangerous and disturbing pattern of targeting Kashmiri traders. Targeted harassment and violence against Kashmiris show no signs of ending. It is deeply saddening that some people want Kashmir, but not Kashmiris. Nothing will damage the idea of India in Kashmir more than such incidents. We urge the Leader of Opposition, Rahul Gandhi Ji; and the Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu Ji, to intervene immediately. This atmosphere of hatred and threats has the potential to destroy livelihoods built over generations. We further urge the HCM, to take immediate and decisive action by directing the authorities to register cases against the fringe and right-wing elements involved under the relevant provisions of law. Strict action will send a strong message that communal bigotry has no place in a progressive and inclusive society. We appeal to the HM Amit Shah Ji, to put an end to this growing reign of terror against Kashmiri traders and ensure the prompt identification and arrest of those responsible, so that a clear deterrent is set. The rule of law must prevail, and the safety, dignity, and right to livelihood of Kashmiri shawl sellers must be protected without delay.

Yet another incident; the ninth such case this year of harassment and intimidation of Kashmiri shawl sellers has been reported today from Kangra district in Himachal Pradesh, where local goons allegedly threatened traders attempting to earn an honest livelihood. This incident reflects a deeply alarming and recurring pattern of targeted harassment, intimidation, and insecurity faced by Kashmiri shawl sellers across the state. Despite possessing valid documents and having undergone proper verification by the authorities, these traders are being unlawfully barred from carrying out their business, raising serious concerns about arbitrariness and discrimination. These shawl sellers, who have contributed immensely to the local economy over the years and have become an integral part of the social and cultural fabric of the region, are now being pushed into an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty. We appeal to the Himachal Pradesh CM Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu Ji to ensure the prompt identification and arrest of all those responsible and to send a clear, firm, and unequivocal message that lawlessness, communal intimidation, and vigilante behaviour will not be tolerated in the state. The persistent inaction by the state authorities points to a worrying breakdown of law and order. The absence of swift and visible action against fringe elements has emboldened such actors to operate with impunity, turning daily livelihood into a source of fear for Kashmiri traders. The rule of law must prevail, and the safety, dignity, and constitutional rights of Kashmiri citizens must be guaranteed without exception.

The Himachal Pradesh government has taken note of the communal harassment of two Kashmiri shawl sellers in Surjanpur Village, in Kangra District. The woman involved has been detained and is currently being questioned by the authorities. She has expressed deep regret for her actions and issued a formal apology. While the police were fully prepared to file an FIR, the victims (Kashmiri Shawl Sellers), in a remarkable gesture of forgiveness, has chosen to pardon her and requested the police not to proceed with lodging the FIR. May better sense prevail, and may peace and harmony continue to guide our paths forward. I thank Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Sukhu Ji and his Media Advisor Naresh Chauhan Ji for the Personal intervention.

Have received another chilling video. A Kashmiri shawl seller Jehangir Ahmad was mercilessly thrashed by fringe elements in Dehra, Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh in yet another shocking incident of harassment. He has sustained fractures and multiple injuries and is undergoing treatment at a hospital in Himachal Pradesh. This is the 16th case this year in HP involving the targeting of Kashmiri shawl sellers. The victim was threatened and told to leave the state, not allowed to sell his shawls, his belongings were vandalised, and his mobile phone was smashed when he tried to record the incident. He has been selling shawls in the area for the past 15 years and is not a newcomer. He has lived peacefully within the local community and earned his livelihood with dignity. Despite this, he was abused, threatened with death, and asked to vacate the area immediately. He was also warned that Kashmiris would not be allowed to work there. We urge the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh, Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu Ji, to take immediate and decisive action by directing the authorities to register a case against the fringe and right-wing elements involved under the relevant provisions of law. Such behaviour must not go unchecked. Strict action will send a strong message that communal bigotry has no place in a progressive and inclusive society. We urged CM to put an end to this growing reign of terror against Kashmiri traders and ensure the prompt identification and arrest of those responsible, so that a clear deterrent is set. Kashmiris are not outsiders in India. We are equal citizens and an integral part of this country, entitled to the same rights, freedoms, and protections as any other Indian under the Constitution. Targeting innocent Kashmiri traders and forcing them out of cities only deepens alienation and mistrust, and damages the very idea of India. Communal hatred must not be allowed to grow unchecked. Strict and exemplary action is essential to uphold the rule of law and to reaffirm that such acts of intimidation, violence, and discrimination have no place in a progressive, inclusive, and democratic society.

We have received deeply disturbing and chilling reports from Kashipur, Udham Singh Nagar, Uttarakhand, where a Kashmiri shawl seller Bilal Ahmad was brutally assaulted by a group of Bajrang Dal workers led by Ankur Singh. He is not a newcomer. He has been selling shawls in Udham Singh Nagar for the past 9–10 years, living peacefully within the community. Despite this, he was threatened, asked to vacate the area and leave the state immediately, his stock was looted, and he was even threatened with death. We urge the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, Pushkar Singh Dhami Ji, to immediately intervene, put an end to this reign of terror, and ensure the prompt arrest of the culprits. We also request the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, Omar Abdullah Sahab, to urgently take up the matter with his counterpart in Uttarakhand and ensure protection for Kashmiri traders. We further appeal to the Hon’ble Union Home Minister, Amit Shah Ji, for his personal intervention in this grave matter. Kashmiris are not outsiders in India. We are equal citizens and an integral part of this country, entitled to the same rights, freedoms, and protections as any other Indian under the Constitution. Targeting innocent Kashmiri traders and forcing them out of cities only deepens alienation and mistrust. This is precisely what our hostile neighbour seeks, to sow division and weaken our social fabric. By harassing Kashmiris, we are inadvertently playing into their hands and undermining national unity. We urge Uttarakhand government to take immediate and decisive action by directing the authorities to register an FIR and book the right-wing elements involved under the relevant provisions of law. Such acts of violence, intimidation, and communal hatred must not go unchecked. Strict and exemplary action will send a strong message that communal bigotry has no place in a progressive, inclusive, and democratic society. Nothing will do more damage to the idea of India in Kashmir than incidents like these. The rule of law must prevail. India’s strength lies in its unity in diversity. Any assault on that spirit is an assault on the nation itself. Uttarakhand Police गृहमंत्री कार्यालय, HMO India Udham Singh Nagar Police Uttarakhand Arfa Khanum Sherwani Preeti Choudhry Kaushal K.

We received deeply disturbing and chilling reports from Mussoorie, Uttarakhand, where two Kashmiri shawl sellers were brutally assaulted by members of the Bajrang Dal. Also, Around 16 other Kashmiri traders, mostly from the Kupwara district, have been threatened, harassed, and forcibly evicted from their rented accommodations. These are not newcomers, many of them have been doing business and selling shawls in Mussoorie for years, contributing to the local economy and living peacefully within the community. Yet, instead of receiving safety, support, and protection from the state authorities, they were reportedly asked by the Mussoorie Police themselves to vacate the area and leave the state immediately effectively abandoning their livelihoods. One of the traders shared, “All our goods, worth at least ₹30 lakh, are still lying there. We had no choice but to flee back to Kashmir, leaving everything behind.” We urge Hon'ble Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami Ji to immediately intervene, put an end to this reign of terror, and ensure the immediate arrest of the culprits. We also request. Hon'ble Omar Abdullah Ji to urgently take up the matter with his counterpart in Uttarakhand. Request. Hon'ble HM Amit Shah Ji for Personal Intervention in it. Kashmiris are not outsiders in India. We are equal citizens and an integral part of this country. This is precisely what our hostile neighbour, Pakistan, wants to sow division, alienation, and mistrust between Kashmiris and the rest of the country. By targeting innocent Kashmiri traders and pushing them out of Indian cities, we are playing directly into their hands and serving their agenda. Rahul Gandhi Kaushal K.

Despite the brutal assault and nationwide outrage over the attack on an 18-year-old Kashmiri shawl seller in Vikas Nagar, Uttarakhand, the prime accused, Sanjay Yadav, has been granted bail in less than a week; raising serious concerns that the matter is being quietly hushed up, seems undue pressure may be at play, and the prosecution is being deliberately diluted. While an FIR was registered, only weak and lenient sections were invoked despite murderous assault. The victim and his family were assured that stringent legal provisions, including the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, would be invoked. However, no appropriate sections were added, and the Act was ultimately not applied in the case. Shockingly, this dilution of charges has paved the way for the accused’s release on bail. This sends a dangerous message that communal violence against vulnerable Kashmiri shawl sellers is being normalised, negotiated, and quietly buried. No deterrence has been created, no precedent set, and no real accountability ensured. We urge CM Pushkar Singh Dhami Ji to intervene personally, review the dilution of charges, ensure the application of stringent legal provisions, and guarantee a time-bound and transparent prosecution. Justice delayed or diluted is justice denied, and the rule of law must not bend under any pressure.

Three separate incidents of harassment against Kashmiri shawl and walnut sellers have occurred within a span of just 24 hours; one in Uttarkashi (Uttarakhand), another in Saharanpur (Uttar Pradesh), and a third in Ludhiana (Punjab). In Uttarkashi, a local right-wing activist named Rakesh levelled unsubstantiated allegations against Kashmiri street vendors, accusing them of operating without police verification. He made several inflammatory claims, demanding compulsory police checks for all Kashmiri vendors and even insinuating; without any evidence whatsoever; that they could be involved in activities beyond selling shawls, including arms-related suspicions. Such irresponsible rhetoric fuels mistrust, deepens prejudice, and puts the lives and livelihoods of ordinary workers; who have been living and working peacefully for years at grave risk. In Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh, two Kashmiri youths were confronted by members of Bajrang Dal; subsequently, the police detained them, interrogated them, and seized their Aadhaar cards, identity documents, and mobile phones for verification. This incident raises serious concerns about rampant vigilantism, profiling of minorities, and the troubling trend of right wing groups taking on law-enforcement roles. In Ludhiana, Punjab, a labourer from Kulgam, Kashmir, was allegedly assaulted after he reported that several boxes of walnuts he was transporting had gone missing. Instead of receiving help, he was met with violence. These incidents reflect a deeply troubling pattern of dehumanisation and targeted harassment. We urge the Chief Ministers of Uttarakhand Pushkar Singh Dhami, Uttar Pradesh Yogi Adityanath, and Punjab Bhagwant Mann to take immediate and decisive action. They must ensure the safety and dignity of Kashmiri workers, order impartial inquiries into these incidents, hold those responsible accountable; and direct the administration to put an end to all forms of discriminatory conduct. Preventive steps must be taken to stop any actions or rhetoric that could further fuel mistrust, vigilantism, or communal tension. Protecting vulnerable workers is not just a matter of governance; it is a test of our collective humanity and commitment to the idea of India. Narendra Modi Rahul Gandhi Kaushal K.

An elderly Kashmiri Muslim man, Mohd Wali Shah from Anantnag Kashmir, who was in Saharanpur Uttar Pradesh for medical purposes, was questioned, mistreated, and threatened by local goons. This incident marks the eighth such case reported this year, reflecting a deeply alarming and recurring pattern. The accused, Yashasvi Arya, a resident of Village Ramdaspur (also known as Nagal, Badheri Koli), Saharanpur, who claims to be the National President of the Hindu Yuva Shakti Sangathan, along with his associates, has been filmed intercepting, intimidating, and harassing Kashmiri Muslim vendors and patients visiting the area. In the second video footage, Arya is seen using abusive and violent language, issuing open threats, and deliberately attempting to instil fear among Kashmiri Muslims. In a second video, he is heard stating, We will treat Kashmiri Muslims the way Kashmiri Pandits were treated, while making sweeping and deeply offensive claims that all Kashmiris; whether doctors or otherwise; only know how to make bombs and carry weapons. He further urged members of the Hindu community not to allow Kashmiris into their homes. These statements and actions clearly amount to hate speech, criminal intimidation, and a calculated attempt to incite communal hatred, posing a serious threat to public order, national unity, and the constitutional rights of citizens. Targeting a senior citizen seeking medical care highlights the extreme cruelty, moral bankruptcy, and lawlessness underlying these acts. Such incidents point to a systematic and deliberate effort to deny Kashmiri Muslims their right to livelihood, dignity, and free movement through fear and coercion. We appeal to the Saharanpur Police, DIG RANGE SAHARANPUR; to ensure the prompt identification and arrest of all those responsible and to send a clear and unequivocal message that lawlessness and communal intimidation will not be tolerated. We also urge CM Office, GoUP to take immediate cognisance of the matter, direct the registration of an FIR under stringent legal provisions relating to hate speech, criminal threats, and acts prejudicial to communal harmony, and ensure the swift arrest of the accused to prevent further escalation.

The issue of alleged harassment and eviction threats faced by Kashmiri Muslim students at CT University over Sehri and Iftar arrangements during Ramzan has now been resolved. I only wish such responsiveness and sensitivity were visible across the country. Punjab, in many ways, continues to stand apart. It has always been a compassionate and welcoming home for Kashmiri students, and that enduring legacy of brotherhood and inclusivity must be preserved. Following sustained intervention by the Jammu and Kashmir Students Association, the Punjab Government acted decisively. After the matter was taken up with the Punjab Chief Secretary, senior district officials; including SSP Ludhiana Ankur Gupta and SDM Upinderjit Kaur Brar visited the university campus to assess the situation and ensure the safety and security of the students. The Punjab Chief Secretary informed us that Dr. Nitin Tandon has been removed from the position of Vice Chancellor with immediate effect, and that a high-level inquiry has been constituted. The university has also initiated an internal investigation. Also, the Punjab Government has set up a high-level committee, headed by the SDM, to conduct a thorough and time-bound inquiry into the incident, including any administrative lapses or misconduct. Shahi Imam Punjab, Maulana Mohammad Usman Rahmani Ludhianvi, also visited the campus, met both students and university authorities, and played a constructive role in facilitating dialogue to de-escalate tensions and restore normalcy. We thank the Punjab CS, the district administration, the Sikh community, police authorities, the university management, and community leaders for ensuring the safety and dignity of the students and for resolving the matter through dialogue and institutional intervention. We sincerely thank the Government of Punjab, the district administration, the Sikh community, the police authorities, the university management, and respected community leaders for their timely intervention in ensuring the safety and well-being of the students, maintaining peace and harmony, and resolving the matter through constructive dialogue. गृहमंत्री कार्यालय, HMO India Omar Abdullah Arfa Khanum Sherwani Preeti Choudhry Kaushal K.

Bakshi Nagar Police in Jammu have arrested a suspected thief and turned the incident into a public spectacle by placing a garland of shoes around his neck and making him sit on the bonnet of their official vehicle. Instead of following standard procedure and placing him inside the police van, the officers chose to parade him in full public display. How can J&K Police justify such inhuman and degrading treatment? This reeks of medieval vigilantism rather than constitutional policing. Such grotesque public humiliation, carried out in full public view, is not just a violation of the law, it is an assault on human dignity and the very principles that underpin our justice system. The SHO responsible for this barbarity has either never read the Indian Constitution or has willfully chosen to defy it. Article 21 of the Constitution guarantees the Right to Life and Personal Liberty, which includes the right to live with dignity. No person, even if accused of a crime, can be subjected to degrading treatment. The Supreme Court, in D.K. Basu vs. State of West Bengal (1997), laid down clear guidelines to prevent custodial abuse and protect the rights of the arrested. Parading an accused in such a dehumanizing manner is in blatant contempt of these directives and amounts to custodial torture and public shaming, neither of which have any place in a civilized society. Police are not mobs. They are the custodians of the law. The duty of an SHO is to investigate, not adjudicate to uphold justice, not to dispense punishment through public spectacle. Such crude displays of "instant justice" erode public trust, delegitimize the institution, and push our democracy one step closer to the abyss of lawlessness. If this is the image of policing we allow to flourish, what separates the protector from the oppressor? What separates law from vengeance?

Strongly condemn the brutal mob assault on Jammu & Kashmir student Aftaab Hussain, of Dr. Harisingh Gour University (DHSGSU), by Bajrang Dal, VHP & Hindu Jagran Manch in Sagar, Madhya Pradesh. Shockingly, instead of being protected, he was taken into police custody despite a clean academic record and no unlawful background. Request. Madhya Pradesh Police to ensure his immediate release, safety, medical care, and strict action against the culprits. It is the constitutional duty of the state to protect students, not criminalise victims. Navratri is a sacred festival of devotion and inclusivity, symbolising the victory of good over evil. Its sanctity must be respected. Yet fringe and right-wing groups are weaponising religion to vilify Kashmiri Muslim students and communalise Garba; a cultural celebration meant to unite, not divide. False, defamatory, and concocted remarks have been made against Aftaab by these right wing elements, portraying him with malicious intent without any evidence. The reality is that he had been invited to the event by his friends. Targeted violence against Kashmiri youth is unacceptable, unconstitutional, and a grave threat to India’s unity and social harmony. Festivals like Garba embody India’s diversity, bringing people together beyond religion, caste, or region. By injecting hate and fear, organisations like Bajrang Dal, VHP, and Hindu Jagran Manch are not protecting tradition; they are poisoning it for political mileage. Such a dangerous precedent will only instil fear among Kashmiri youth who are engaging positively with local culture. This alarming trend must be rejected in the strongest possible terms.

Around 1,300 Kashmiri students are currently studying in Iran and are now stranded amid the escalating tensions between Iran and Israel. The situation has left them traumatized, terrified, and extremely vulnerable. Parents are deeply distressed and anxious about the safety and well-being of their children. Many students are living under constant psychological stress and insecurity. They have reported hearing airstrike sirens, experiencing tremors, and witnessing heightened military activity in their areas. Some are even residing in cities where airstrikes have already taken place. The repeated attacks and worsening crisis have left the students frightened and helpless. Many of them have shared their fear, saying, "We are very scared. Our parents back home are extremely worried." Every passing minute without information from authorities is agonizing for these families. Parents have pointed out that students from several other countries have already been evacuated, while Indian students continue to wait anxiously. One parent said, "People from many countries have left, but our children remain. Nobody is asking about us. We feel abandoned." I earnestly request the Hon’ble External Affairs Minister Dr. S.

My Take on the Viral Video Alleging Support for Suicide Bombing by a Kashmiri Student! When suicide is haram in Islam, suicide bombing is equally haram. It involves not only taking one’s own life but also harming and killing others. Islam strictly prohibits suicide, and suicide bombing compounds this sin by taking the lives of innocent people, making it an even greater crime in the eyes of God. Even if, for the sake of argument, someone claims to act out of conviction or unaddressed grievances, Islam does not permit responding to injustice by committing an even greater injustice. A suicide bomber ends their own life while killing people who have no connection to their grievances. This constitutes multiple sins before God: suicide, the killing of innocents, spreading fear, and creating chaos on earth; all of which are explicitly forbidden. The Qur’an states that killing even a single innocent person is akin to killing all of humanity. There is no legitimacy or justification for suicide bombing in Islam or in the Qur’an. Islamic teachings do not allow the targeting of civilians under any circumstance. The only context in which risking one’s life may be tolerated is during a legitimate armed conflict between states or organised armed groups, where combatants knowingly engage in battle. Even in warfare, Islam lays down strict rules prohibiting the killing of non-combatants; including women, children, the elderly, religious clergy, and anyone not participating in hostilities. Suicide bombing, indiscriminate by nature, violates every one of these foundational principles. It violates the sanctity of life, contravenes the principles of justice, and stands in direct opposition to the moral and legal framework established by the Qur’an and the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Suicide bombing is haram; no matter what justification Mr Umar tries to offer. His remarks are not only misguided but directly contradict the fundamental principles of Islam, which strictly prohibit taking one’s own life and harming innocent people. This is a deeply disturbing and dangerous mindset, and I condemn it unequivocally. Such narratives only fuel violence, distort faith, and mislead young minds. We must collectively reject and counter these extremist interpretations with clarity and responsibility! Kaushal K.

KASHMIR BLACK DAY 1. First of all, thank you very much for inviting me to share some thoughts on this solemn occasion – in commemorating the Kashmir Black Day which essentially marks the beginning of the occupation of the State of Jammu and Kashmir by India since 1947. 2. It has indeed been a very long time since the occupation started and recent treatments of India on the occupied territories do not reflect that it plans to reconsider its occupation let alone end it anytime soon. 3. In fact, India is forcefully bullying any opposition to its occupation while at the same time tightening its grip on these territories. 4. And woe upon us that while the border politics are being played out, atrocities committed on the Jammu and Kashmiri populace persists and we and all those who are concerned, watch helplessly on the side lines. 5. I do not like to draw parallels to acts of injustice and crimes against humanity as the sufferings of the victims cannot be equated from one to another. 6. And we can never really fathom the depths of these sufferings, the pain and scars that remain etched on the victims and their kin for as long as they live. 7. But parallels in the hypocrisy, the double-standards, deceptions and lies committed by perpetrators of these atrocities are similar. It is only the scale that may differ at times – as each tries to outdo the other when they terrorise their victims relentlessly and with impunity. 8. What are their hypocrisy, lies, deceptions and double-standards? 9. On the one hand, these ruthless regimes proclaim to be advocates of democracy while they commit apartheid. They express anger and disgust when their victims retaliate and hit back at them, usually on minute scale, disproportionately compared with their vicious attacks. 10. They label freedom fighters as terrorists, hiding the fact that their apartheid policies, genocide and ethnic cleansing activities for decades cannot, but spawn aggressive retaliation from those occupied. 11. And why do these occupied people resort to militancy and aggression? 12. Isn’t that to be expected from a people who had been bullied, stripped of their dignity and witness to the murders of their loved ones while the rest of the civilised world turn a blind eye. 13. Don’t all these narratives sound the same – be it in Palestine, in Jammu/Kashmir, South Africa or even Ireland in the not too distant past? 14. For that matter, most of these problems are inherited from the colonial past as they divide and carve up their former colonies and distributed them at their whims without considering the interest of the populace. 15. Unluckily today, despite contributing to the crises, the former colonialists and their allies chose to support the new occupiers and the results as we witness today are the massacres and genocide of the occupied. 16. Right now, the world watches in horror as Israel unleashes its military might on helpless Palestinians, justifying it as retaliations to terror acts committed by Hamas. 17. Israel intends to choke Palestinians in Gaza out of existence by cutting off all basic and essential supplies and at the same time suggesting that civilians in Gaza move out of the occupied territories so that it can then hit only at Hamas target and not the civilians. 18. While Israel blames Hamas for its attacks on Gaza, it does not explain why the murderous Tel Aviv regime attacks West Bank which is devoid of Hamas. 19. In fact, for the past seven decades, of which almost half of that period was without Hamas, Israel had been attacking and killing Palestinian civilians including babies with impunity. 20. Hamas and other Palestinians who decide to take up arms and fight against Israel are children and grandchildren of Palestinian civilians the Israeli regime had murdered in the past. 21. Using the same playbook, India is justifying its invasion and occupation of Jammu and Kashmir as part of an effort to eradicate militants and terrorists and to protect its border. 22. India’s revocation of Jammu/Kashmir’s autonomy unilaterally four years ago saw the deployment of hundreds of thousands of soldiers into the illegally occupied territories of Jammu and Kashmir. Along with that atrocities were committed, while placing the whole population under siege. 23. International bodies had reported that an atmosphere of fear and reprisal had ensured silence. 24. We have also heard reports of how India is attempting to change the demographic composition of Jammu and Kashmir by settling non-Muslim outsiders in the Muslim majority areas. 25. In many ways, it is not different than the Israeli settlers who forcefully evict Palestinians from their homes in land grab activities sanctioned by the Tel Aviv regime. And to ensure that the process is successful, it deploys the IDF to accompany the settlers. 26. Resistance were met with such viciousness that some helpless Palestinians just submit themselves to the mercy of the occupying forces. 27. But there are Palestinians, as in the case of the citizens of Jammu and Kashmir who would not leave their fate in the hands of providence. 28. They retaliate and fight for their freedom and liberation by any means available to them, most times unconventional. 29. The minute they retaliate and any casualties are inflicted on the occupying forces, a prepared narrative emerges almost immediately – militants from these occupied territories had committed acts of terror on the occupiers. 30. With that the Western powers which had decades of opportunities to put a stop to the occupations and assist in the liberation of the occupied peoples, side with the occupiers and regurgitate the convenient labelling of terrorists and terrorism at the freedom fighters. 31. It is indeed baffling that these leaders of the so-called civilised West cannot even understand the meaning of the term occupied territories. And they do not seem to be able to comprehend a simple concept that those standing up against the occupation are the heroes and that the occupiers are the villains. 32. What can we do against the oppressive occupiers and the powerful backers? 33. Not much actually other than continue voicing our anger and disgust to what is happening in these occupied territories. 34. We must persist in exposing the cruelties, the atrocities and the hypocrisy of the self-anointed guardian of global morality when they are actually the perpetrator of evil and backers of greater evil. 35. It seems their hypocrisy and cruelties are bottomless as when we think we had witnessed the worst there is in mankind, they come up with atrocities we can never imagine before. 36. To the people of Jammu and Kashmir. We remember you and we feel for you. We pray for your deliverance and may Allah liberate you from the tyranny. Wassalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Thank you.

The Canadian Hindu Volunteers (CHV) strongly and unequivocally condemn the dangerous escalation of Khalistani terrorism rhetoric and Hinduphobic incitement witnessed at the Nagar Kirtans held in Malton and Etobicoke this weekend. The chilling demand that 800,000 Canadian Hindus leave the country is not just hate speech, it is a genocidal call for ethnic cleansing that echoes some of the darkest chapters in global history. These events have made it alarmingly clear that certain Gurdwaras and religious processions are being co-opted by violent Khalistani extremists who exploit Canada’s democratic freedoms to glorify terrorism, incite division, and call for violence against Hindus and democratic states like India. This is not religious freedom, it is terrorism cloaked in sanctity. documents the horrifying scale of Khalistani terrorism in India throughout the 1980s and 1990s, bombings of markets, assassination of moderate Sikhs, Hindus, police officers, and public servants. Thousands were killed. Civilians were gunned down on buses and trains. Entire families were wiped out in the name of a violent, theocratic fantasy. This ideology did not stop at India’s borders. Canada has paid dearly. The 1985 Air India bombing, the deadliest act of aviation terror before 9/11, killed 329 innocent civilians, most of them Canadians. This attack was orchestrated by Khalistani terrorists based in Canada, including Talwinder Singh Parmar, whose portrait is now shamefully paraded in public processions and Gurdwaras, glorified as a martyr. Journalists and political leaders who stood against Khalistani terrorism have been silenced with bullets or threats: •Tara Singh Hayer, a courageous journalist, was assassinated in 1998 after receiving death threats for exposing Khalistani plots. •Ujjal Dosanjh, the former B.C. Premier, was brutally attacked for opposing extremism and defending Canada’s democratic values. •Balraj Deol, Jagdish Grewal, and Deepak Punj have been targeted with threats and intimidation campaigns simply for speaking out against radicalism. •Sikh moderates, police officers, and Hindu shopkeepers in Punjab and Canada alike have faced physical violence, economic boycotts, and harassment from Khalistani terror sympathizers. These are not the actions of “activists.” These are the tactics of radicalized ideologues, many of whom have exploited Canada’s asylum and immigration systems, presenting false claims of persecution to enter the country and build networks that fund, promote, and glorify violence. The calls to expel Hindus are not isolated incidents. They represent a coordinated campaign to push Hinduphobia, terrorism, and anti-India propaganda from the podiums of religious processions under the false flag of “freedom of speech.” If any other group in Canada had called for the mass expulsion of an ethnic or religious community, there would be immediate arrests and investigations. Why the silence now? We urge CSIS Canada RCMP Peel Regional Police Toronto Police Public Safety Canada •Law enforcement to investigate all those responsible for today’s hate-filled processions and bring the perpetrators to justice. •Elected officials at every level to denounce Hinduphobia and Khalistani terrorism unequivocally, without vote-bank politics. •Immigration authorities to re-examine and tighten processes to prevent those affiliated with extremist organizations from abusing Canadian hospitality. •All Gurdwaras and religious institutions to reaffirm their commitment to peace and not allow their premises to be misused for terror glorification. •Canadians of all backgrounds to stand united against any ideology that calls for genocide, violence, or division Let us be clear: This is not a conflict between Sikhs and Hindus. Millions of Sikhs and Hindus live side by side in Canada and across the world in peace, brotherhood, and mutual respect. Khalistani terrorism seeks to destroy that harmony. #Khalistan

ARE COLONIAL WHITES TO BLAME FOR THE STATE OF AFRICA TODAY? DO THEY HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY? I am posing this question and re-posting part of an earlier threat as a separate tweet just to capture this point. This is also arising from the claims of some that Africa has been independent for so long so much that there is no more reason to blame colonial whites for the state of Africa. It is being suggested by some that all blame should be laid at the feet of "corrupt and incompetent African leaders". Let's be clear, many an African leader has been a serious disappointment, some have been corrupt, some incompetent. But perhaps, the question also needs to be asked: what kind of African leader has this been? Is this the Pan African leader that actually fought for Africa and was selected by Africans, or is it the comprador bourgeoisie puppet leader imposed on Africa by the colonialists? Yes, it's been almost 30 years since the independence of South Africa and 43 years since the independence of Zimbabwe and some 60 years since the independence of Ghana, the DR Congo and others. While one would have expected a lot of progress to have been made - and a lot of progress was being made in the early days - one must also ask the question: what kind of leadership did post-colonial Africa get? It is instructive to note that in almost every single African country, there was destabilisation after destabilisation: coups, assassination of African leaders, and replacement with western puppets. In Ghana, the CIA overthrew the Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah and replaced him with their puppet Joseph Arthur Ankrah, decapitating Ghana's progress in the process. In Ivory Coast the French installed Félix Houphouët-Boigny who would go on to rule for decades, actively serving the interests of France. In the DR Congo the Belgians and CIA and their accolytes Moise Tshombe and Joseph Kasavubu, assassinated Patrice Emery Lumumba and installed Mobutu Sese Seko. The same would happen to Thomas Sankara who they assassinated and replaced with their puppet Blaise Compaoré. In Nigeria they overthrew Nnamdi Azikiwe and Abubakar Tafawa Balewa and replaced them with their puppets. In Ethiopia they overthrew Emperor Haile Selassie and replaced him with the dictator and Genocidaire Mengistu Haile Mariam. In Zimbabwe they decapitated Dr. Joshua Nkomo through Genocide against his people and placed Mugabe in power instead of him. In Uganda they used Idi Amin to overthrow Apollo Milton Obote and Uganda has never been the same. In Mali they overthrew Modibo Keita and replaced him with Moussa Traoré. In Togo they had assassinated Silvanus Olympio and replaced him with their puppets. In Mozambique and Angola they fomented rebellions in Renamo under Afonso Dhlakama and Jonas Savimbi and decapitated any progress. In the frontline states that were opposed ot Apartheid, bombing raids were carried out by the South African Defence Force, in addition to all kinds of subversion and sabotage. Tanzania, Zambia, Angola and other frontline states were to suffer both under the hands of the Apartheid Government and the Americans and Europeans. Many of these African states got caught up in the Big Power rivalry between the USA and the USSR. Now, what is instructive is that all these comprador bourgeoisie puppet leaders that were used by the West to overthrow Pan African leaders would go on to rule each for between 20 and 40 years, despite visiting the most horendous of crimes against their own people, presiding over gross incompetence and grotesque corruption. Their mission was to keep Africa divided, poor, fighting, unable to control its resources, and open to exploitation by Western corporations. The same people telling us about democracy today are the same people who imposed the most evil rulers upon us. It may well be said that Africa has yet to have its own legitimate leaders that have been fairly selected. And if we have learned anything from South Africa and Tanzania recently, any such leaders will still be persecuted if not outright assassinated. We find President Zuma in this category (do you realise that President Zuma went down the same way President Lula da Silva went down in Brazil, Dr. Mamohan Singh in India, and clearly the Presidents of Russia and China have been too powerful for the west to overthrow). In Ethiopia Prime Minister Meles Zenawi died allegendly naturally but your guess is as good as mine. The same tragedy visited President Pombe John Magufuli in Tanzania. But as Thomas Sankara warned in his famous A "United Front Against the Debt" speech to the OAU in Addis Ababa in July 1987, if we stand united as Africans, we will be able to prevent all these assassinations, coups, inteference, and neocolonial agendas. He argued: "I hope our conference sees the necessity of stating clearly that we cannot pay the debt. Not in a warmongering or warlike spirit. This is to avoid our going off to be killed one at a time. If Burkina Faso alone were to refuse to pay the debt, I wouldn’t be at the next conference. On the other hand, with the support of all, which I greatly need, with the support of all, we can avoid paying. And if we can avoid paying, we can devote our meager resources to our development." The time has come for the younger generation of Africans to rediscover the vision of the African Greats, the Pan Africanists in the mould of the Osegyafo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, Nelson Mandela, Thomas Sankara, Dr. Joshua Nkomo, Patrice Emery Lumumba, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, Modibo Keita, Julius Nyerere, Keneth Kaunda, and lately, Thabo Mbeki, Pombe John Magufuli, Meles Zenawi, Jacob Gedleyihlekisa Zuma, etc. Now, this is not to say that these leaders were perfect. By no means. But they were clear on the direction that Africa should take. They were clear on the need for African unity, and the need for Africa to determine its own destiny as a united force. They worked against almost insurmountable challenges, economic sanctions, persistent propaganda from the west, sabotage, etc, but they still held dear the vision of a united Africa that legitimately serves its own people. To come back to the original question posed: do we still have reason to blame colonial whites? I would say absolutely. It is them that imposed on Africa their puppets that have ruled for, in some cases, 40 years and above: Mugabe in Zimbabwe, Paul Biya in Cameron, Félix Houphouët-Boigny in Ivory Coast, Mobutu Sese Seko in the Congo, Idi Amin in Uganda, etc.; fomented rebellions, coups, assassinations, etc. If we are to solve the problems of Africa, we need to start with the question: what is the best way to select truly competent pro- and Pan African leaders that will ensure the unity, power, and prosperity of Africa? We need to ask ourselves: is this so-called democracy from the west bringing us the best of leaders, or it's just a rent-seeking mechanism for the west to continue to control us by sponsoring their puppets? Do we need perhaps to go back to our traditional institutions and find out how we can select the best of the best among us following some form of meritocracy? Perhaps replace the political parties with residents associations and community Lekgotlas to select the best who meet certain qualification and experience criteria?

When Will We Have The Courage To Talk About The Men From Pakistan? The rape gangs made up of men of Pakistani heritage were not driven by lust, impulse, or paedophilia. Their crimes were acts of prejudice and power, not passion. These were deliberate expressions of domination rooted in racial contempt and cultural hierarchy. Sexual violence was their weapon, not their motive. These men operated within a worldview that divided women into categories of purity and impurity, respect and contempt. Within that hierarchy, White working class girls, often vulnerable, isolated, and without social protection, were seen as beneath consideration. They were not viewed as children to be safeguarded, but as unclean outsiders whose degradation carried no moral weight. The assaults were not random or opportunistic. They followed an internal logic, an assertion of power over a despised group. Rape became a symbolic act, a declaration of control, a means of confirming moral dominance over those they regarded as inferior. This was domination masked as desire, an assertion of supremacy, not sexuality. You cannot understand this through the narrow lens of sexual deviance or paedophilia. It was a crime of hierarchy, a collision between a patriarchal honour culture and a society that had ceased to defend its most vulnerable members. The men responsible saw themselves not as predators acting outside their culture's norms, but as men enforcing them. In their worldview, purity and honour were attributes reserved for "their own" women, while outsiders existed beyond the boundaries of empathy. The victims' perceived impurity made them suitable targets, their suffering both permissible and deserved. Historical Continuities. Rape as a Weapon of Purity and Power Sexual violence as domination has deep roots in the region. Pakistan's creation in 1947, one of the most violent ethnic cleansings in modern history, set a grim precedent. As millions fled across newly drawn borders, rape was systematically used as a weapon of revenge and purification. Women's bodies became battlegrounds on which competing visions of religion and nationhood were fought. This was not incidental brutality. It reflected a worldview in which the "honour" of one group could be asserted through the violation of another. The act of rape carried symbolic meaning. It was the conquest of the enemy's women, and therefore the humiliation of the enemy's men. Sexual violence became a language of dominance and purification, justified as the restoration of moral order. Two decades later, during the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971, the Pakistani military's campaign in East Pakistan saw rape elevated to genocide. Hundreds of thousands of Bengali women were subjected to systematic sexual violence, not for sexual gratification, but to ethnically cleanse and terrorise. The perpetrators viewed the victims as racially and culturally inferior, unworthy of protection or personhood. These events left a moral scar that Pakistan has never acknowledged. There was no reckoning, no process of truth or accountability. The silence that followed entrenched a cultural pattern that sexual violence could be justified when directed against those outside the moral or religious community. It was an ideological silence, a refusal to see women, and especially other people's women, as human beings. This inheritance matters. When sons of that diaspora settled in Britain, they carried not just religious identity but cultural memory, a hierarchy of purity and pollution shaped by centuries of social conflict. The grooming gang phenomenon was not an aberration, but the reappearance of an older logic of domination, transposed into the United Kingdom. And once here, the men involved found a fertile breeding ground to continue as was what they believed their tradition. Institutional Fear and the Collapse of Moral Courage The first failure was ideological. The second was institutional. For decades, police forces, local authorities, and safeguarding agencies failed to act decisively despite overwhelming evidence of organised sexual exploitation. They had the intelligence and investigative capability. What they lacked was moral courage. Officials were paralysed by fear of being labelled racist. In a political environment obsessed with community cohesion and the optics of diversity, the race and religion of the perpetrators became a forbidden topic. Victims who spoke up were dismissed. Frontline officers were warned not to "stir up tensions." Social workers were told to consider the "cultural sensitivities" of the offenders. What followed was bureaucratic cowardice disguised as anti racism. Institutions abandoned their duty of care to some of the most vulnerable children in the country because their abusers belonged to a protected demographic. In protecting themselves from accusations of prejudice, they allowed racial prejudice of a different kind, against poor, White, working class girls, to flourish unchecked. This was not equality. It was a moral inversion. Fear of racism became a tool that shielded perpetrators from scrutiny and deepened the inequality between victim and offender. Political correctness, when elevated above principle, becomes not a safeguard against injustice but its enabler. The Political Bargain That Protected Power The institutional silence was reinforced by political calculation. In many northern towns, including Oldham, Rochdale, and Rotherham, electoral politics had become dependent on the loyalty of bloc votes within Pakistani heritage communities. These blocs were managed through networks of kinship, business, and patronage that rewarded compliance and punished dissent. Local politicians understood that maintaining "community harmony" often meant maintaining the support of those who controlled these votes. In return for reliable electoral turnout, politicians offered influence, access, and protection. Issues that risked disrupting this balance, including the organised sexual exploitation of White working class girls, were treated as political threats, not safeguarding emergencies. This relationship hollowed out democracy. Council seats and public positions were distributed through informal patronage systems that blurred the line between representation and control. The same intermediaries who could mobilise the vote were often the ones advising councillors on "community relations", a conflict of interest so normalised that few questioned it. Anyone who challenged the arrangement risked being denounced as divisive or racist. The language of anti racism was repurposed to defend vested interests. "Community cohesion" became a euphemism for silence. The welfare of children was subordinated to the management of a political alliance. This culture of political exchange explains why so many local authorities failed to confront what was happening on their own streets. It was not only cowardice but complicity, the institutionalisation of denial as the price for maintaining electoral peace. The grooming gang scandal was not only a moral or policing failure. It was a political failure rooted in the corruption of representation itself. A Two Tier Morality The third and most enduring failure is moral. By refusing to hold all communities to the same ethical standard, Britain has entrenched a hierarchy of accountability. When the offender is White and the victim is from a minority group, society demands structural explanations, cultural reckoning, and public shame. When the roles are reversed, the conversation collapses into evasion and denial. This asymmetry corrodes trust. It tells one part of society that their suffering is negotiable, and another that their identity grants them immunity from moral examination. It fractures the very idea of equal justice. The victims were not only failed by their abusers but by a system that calculated their worth through the lens of political risk. They were denied recognition because their pain was inconvenient. Their trauma was filtered through focus groups and equality impact assessments, rather than confronted as a national disgrace. Confronting this honestly requires rejecting both denial and collective blame. The grooming gangs were not acting on behalf of all Pakistanis or Muslims, but nor were they isolated anomalies. They were products of specific cultural and ideological environments that must be named and challenged. Pretending otherwise serves no one, least of all the victims. The Cover Up That Never Ended The same fear and political cowardice that allowed these crimes to happen now defines the government's response to them. The National Inquiry was meant to expose the truth. Instead, it has become another act of management. Survivors who once believed the inquiry would deliver justice have walked away, saying it was designed to protect institutions rather than expose them. Evidence has been ring fenced, language softened, and uncomfortable lines of questioning quietly erased. This is not accountability. It is choreography. The state has learned to perform contrition while keeping the machinery of denial intact. Each new report repeats the same phrases, "systemic failure," "lessons learned," "moving forward", as if repetition were justice. What it achieves instead is distance. The further the inquiries go, the further the truth recedes. The inquiry's retreat into managed caution mirrors the original betrayal. Once again, those who hold power speak of compassion while concealing the cause. The same instinct that told police officers to stay silent now guides Whitehall. Protect relationships, preserve reputations, and avoid offence at all costs. Real justice will not come from committees or reviews. It will come only when the country stops managing the story and starts telling it, when it names who did this, why it was ignored, and who still benefits from silence. The survivors who walked away from the inquiry understood something the rest of us refuse to see. You cannot heal a wound that the state refuses to admit exists. Their withdrawal was not despair. It was defiance. They have refused to play their assigned role in another performance of forgetting. And so the burden returns to the rest of us. If the institutions built to tell the truth will not do it, then it falls to citizens to speak plainly. To confront what was done, to remember who was silenced, and to insist that moral equality means moral courage. Until that happens, the estimated 100,000 betrayed girls will remain symbols of a nation still lying to itself. The inquiry has stalled. The cover up continues. It is a monument to fear, to cowardice, and to the terrible power of silence. No matter the cost. We must fight it. _________ This isn't about politics anymore. It's about preservation - a ruling clique defending its own survival, even if it means abandoning the very people they swore to protect. The nation does not need silence. It needs truth. This is not only a child abuse scandal. It is a crisis of truth, trust and governance in modern Britain. I am Raja Miah. For seven years, I led a small team that exposed how politicians protected the rape gangs. I cannot do this on my own.
