Fairy tales of B Raman and Praveen Swami

Praveen Swami the prolific profiler of India’s Mujahideen always stands out when it comes to deliverance, his tales and quick biographies have always put me in confusion and have posed one question. Where did he get this information from?

Pramod Muthalik’s paid Rioting

What does it take to stoke a riot in Bangalore? Not a lot, for if you are willing to spend then Pramod Muthalik’s Sri Ram Sene will do the job.

 

This was the essence of the six-weeks long joint investigation by the news channel, Headlines Today, and Tehelka magazine, which was aired on Thursday.

 

Muthalik — whose claim to notoriety is the Mangalore pub attack of 2009 — has been caught on a hidden camera saying that a communal riot can be ‘organised’ in Bangalore or Mangalore.

“Mangalore main kar sakte hain...Bangalore.”

 

The sting’s script was simple: A reporter posed as an artist hungry for fame and wanted a communal riot sparked off by his exhibition so that he could be ‘famous like M F Hussain’; Muthalik said it could be organised and directed the artist to meet his deputies.

 

What followed was a series of meetings, primarily, with Prasad Attavur, national vice president, Sri Ram Sene and Vasantkumar Bhavani, Bangalore head of the Sene.

Three out of four conversations with Attavur were held inside a jail. Muthalik is also shown accepting a donation of Rs 10,000 from a painter for “the cause of Hindutva”.

 

Here’s a conversation between Prasad and the undercover reporter.

 

Prasad: Main aapko batata hun kitna paisa chahiye (I’ll tell you how much money is needed.)

Reporter: Ladka kitna hoga (How many boys will be there)?

 

Prasad: Pachas (50).

 

Reporter: 50 ladka hoga jo tod fod danga type karega (Fifty guys who will ransack the place, destroy property?

 

Prasad: Haan, bilkul... wo ye sub kiya na pub ka...Same aisa hi (Same as the pub case) The deal to organise a riot was finally sealed at Rs 60 lakh.

 

Bhavani, described in a Headline Today media release as the man who discussed the nuts and bolts of the operation, suggested that the state’s Wakf Minister Mumtaz Ali Khan be made the chief guest at the exhibition for greater impact.

 

The sting also shows the Sene’s preparedness and calculated approach to protests and violence.

 

When the ‘artist’ offered not to file cases against the Sene, Bhavani turned down the suggestion.

 

If cases weren’t filed against the attackers, people would suspect that the attacks were engineered, he said.

Senior Sri Ram Sene leader Vilas G Pawar told Express that the sting was a “conspiracy to malign the Sene” and that it will file a defamation case against the news channel.

Obama urges funds for Israel's Iron Dome project

Barak Obama has asked $205Million from congress to help the construction of mobile air defense system to intercept short-range rockets and artillery shells.

"The president recognises the threat missiles and rockets fired by Hamas and Hezbollah pose to Israelis, and has therefore decided to seek funding from Congress to support the production of Israel's short range rocket defense system called Iron Dome," Tommy Vietor, a White House spokesman, told reporters on Thursday.

US is funding Israel to build Missiles and artilleries to Kill Muslims and take over Palestine and some Muslims still support him, and urge people to follow them. Hypocrites. 

 

What an underwater oil leak looks like

This footage was taken at the Deepwater Horizon site on May 11. The Joint Investigation Committee says that you're looking at both oil and gas coming out of the broken pipe. Bit of conjecture on my part: I think what we might be seeing here is a methane gas bubble briefly interrupting the flow of oil, which is pretty eerie to watch, given that this was also the cause of the explosion that lead to the oil spill in the first place.

Non-Muslims to be allowed to live in part of Madina

Narrated Said bin Jubair:

Ibn 'Abbas said, "Thursday! What (great thing) took place on Thursday!" Then he started weeping till his tears wetted the gravels of the ground. Then he said, "On Thursday the illness of Allah's Apostle was aggravated and he said, "Fetch me writing materials so that I may have something written to you after which you will never go astray." The people (present there) differed in this matter and people should not differ before a prophet. They said, "Allah's Apostle is seriously sick.' The Prophet said, "Let me alone, as the state in which I am now, is better than what you are calling me for." The Prophet on his death-bed, gave three orders saying, "Expel the pagans from the Arabian Peninsula, respect and give gifts to the foreign delegates as you have seen me dealing with them." I forgot the third (order)" (Ya'qub bin Muhammad said, "I asked Al-Mughira bin 'Abdur-Rahman about the Arabian Peninsula and he said, 'It comprises Mecca, Medina, Al-Yama-ma and Yemen." Ya'qub added, "And Al-Arj, the beginning of Tihama.")
