Illegal Bangladeshi’s Settling Down In Bangalore!!!!!

by

By Husna Rizwan


Of late looking into the current situation one can easily come to the conclusion that the Bangalore Hub will soon turn into a Bamgladeshi Hub which is fast getting filled up with illegal Bangladeshi immigrants.

No wonder that Bangalore is soon going to became another Bangladesh, as from the last 2 years lakhs of people mainly the Bangladeshi immigrants are staying here near posh apartments not only setting up STP but also encouraging open defection around the Bellandur lake.

Not only these but the irony of the whole situation is that they even have a 24/7 unmetered electricity. Not to rule out the fact that they are now even possessing illegal AADHAR card & even PAN cards Including the operation of their own illegal bank accounts, and pray how did they even get hold of these so called facilities? Your guess is as good as mine!
The other bonanza of the so called Bangladeshi Immigrants is that they have now also started working in IT Company as security guards and even their wives working as maids, which is increasing the risk of thefts & burgulary in the IT officers apartments.

In Assam alone there are almost 40 lakhs Bangladeshi immigrants who have now migrated to Bangalore and are now given full support by none other than our own Local officers & politicians, taking care of their vote banks & even the Bescom officers.

The residents & welfare association of these surrounding posh apartments have even lodged police complaints but to no avail as they have not taken any action against them.

So guys if nothing is being done at the earliest then the Bangalorean’s peace of mind will certainly go down the drain or their situations will also end up in doldrums. Period!!!!!

Journalist thrashed by meat mafia goons during raid on illegal slaughterhouse

by


In a shocking incident, a journalist who had gone to film the raid carried out by the animal activists and police officials on an illegal slaughterhouse was thrashed by the mob here on Tuesday, August 7.

The incident occurred at an illegal slaughterhouse at Kodipalya village in Ramanagara district. The raid was carried out based on credible information that over 200 new-born calves are slaughtered daily.

According to sources, deputy superintendent of police (DSP) had cited law and order situation and refused to give police protection to the animal activists to enter the slaughterhouse since there was no enough force available. He had confirmed to provide security on the next day of the raid. Two unarmed cops accompanied the animal activist Joshine Anthony and the India Today reporter on the first day of the raid.

Surprisingly, the animal activists, who had seen animals at the slaughterhouse few days ago, did not find any calves on the day of the raid giving rise to doubts that the information regarding raid was leaked and also confirmed nexus between the cops and meat mafia.

However, the missing new-born calves were found within the slaughterhouse premises hidden underneath low lying trees and inside dense bushes, with mouths being tied to their feet so that they would not make any noise. The officials rescued 71 calves from there.

When the India Today reporter who had been to the site to film the raid sought to know the locals’ reaction, he was thrashed by them. The angry mob including meat mafia goons pelted stones at him and threatened him. His phone was also damaged during the melee. The entire incident was captured on camera and at the presence of police officials.

An FIR has been registered against Gazipeer, Khasi, Syed, Mubarakhan, Noor, Imthiaz and Tabrez from Ramanagara at Kudur police station under IPC sections 428 and 429 (mischief by killing or maiming animal).

No FIR was registered against the mob for attack on the journalist.

Mahatma Gandhi wanted Jinnah as PM, but Nehru refused: Dalai Lama

by


Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama today said Jawaharlal Nehru had a “self-centered attitude” to become India’s first prime minister even though Mahatma Gandhi was in favour of Muhammad Ali Jinnah taking the top post at that time.

He also claimed India’s partition would not have happened if Mahatma Gandhi’s wish of Jinnah becoming the prime minister had materialized.

The 83-year-old monk was addressing an event at the Goa Institute of Management in Goa’s Sankhalim town, located about 40 km from here.

Responding to a student’s question on taking right decisions, he said, “I feel democratic systems are very good than the feudal system, which gives the power of making decisions in the hands of a few people, which is more dangerous.”

“Now look at India. I think Mahatma Gandhiji was very much willing to give the prime ministership to Jinnah. But Pandit Nehru refused,” he said.

“I think it was a little bit self-centered attitude of Pandit Nehru that he should be the prime minister… Mahatma Gandhiji’s thinking, if it had materialized, then India, Pakistan would have been united,” he said.

“So Pandit Nehru, I know very well, (was) very experienced person, very wise but sometimes mistake also happens,” he said.

To a question on the biggest fear that he encountered in life, the spiritual leader recalled the day he had to escape from Tibet along with his supporters.

“On the night of March 17, 1959, after 10th March crisis which was the result of the problem that started in 1956, we had to escape,” he said.

Recalling how the problem in Tibet with China had started becoming worse, he said the attitude of Chinese officers kept on being more and more aggressive.

“So then on 17th night, in spite of all my efforts to cool down the situation, that very day, I decided that I cannot remain here and I escaped,” he said. “(In the) meantime, the feeling whether I will see tomorrow or not topped my mind,” he added.

The monk said the route from where they escaped was quite near the Chinese military base. While passing along a river they could see the military personnel, he said narrating his journey from the neighboring country into India. “So we were completely quiet. But we cannot control the noise of horses’ feet. We really felt scared,” he said.

He said next day at the dawn, they were passing through a mountain and there was “every danger” of Chinese soldiers coming from two different places to stop them. “That was a fearful journey.”

“At the age of 16, I lost my freedom. At the age of 24, I lost my country. For 17 years, there was a lot of suffering and lot of destruction in the country, but we kept our determination,” the Dalai Lama said. He said the China’s power is its military force. “We can say from the barrel of a gun.”

“Our strength is the truth. Temporarily, the power of the gun is more decisive but in the long run, the power of truth is much stronger than the power of the gun,” he said.

The monk said Tibetans never consider Chinese people as their enemy. “We respect them. We always look at them as our human brothers and sisters,” he added.

IPL value increases by 19 per cent in 2018

by


The fifth edition of Duff and Phelps annual study of the Indian Premier League (IPL) suggested an increase in the overall value of the league’s ecosystem from $5.3 billion in 2017 to $6.3 billion in 2018.

The hike was supported by the broadcasting rights fee surging at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.9 percent, it was announced on Wednesday.

Duff & Phelps is the global advisor that protects, restores and maximizes value for clients in the areas of valuation, corporate finance, investigations, disputes, cybersecurity, compliance and regulatory matters, and other governance-related issues.

The Mumbai Indians, with a brand value of $113.0 million, continue to top the charts for the third season in a row.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are in second place with a brand value of $104.0 million.

The two-year ban imposed on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals has had some bearing on their brand values.

However, CSK’s on-field performance and the Dhoni factor helped them neutralize the negative impact, as they were valued at $98.0 million alongside Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Sunrisers Hyderabad, Delhi Daredevils, Kings XI Punjab and Rajasthan Royals follow in the brand rankings.

Commenting on the study, Santosh.N, Managing Director, Duff and Phelps said: “Our IPL brand values report reflects the evolution of the modern cricket business paradigm with clubs benefiting from not only the enduring popularity of cricket in India but also from strong marketing and globalization of the game.”

Elderly Sikh man attacked in California

by


An elderly Sikh man was viciously attacked in California, leading to fears among the community that he may have been a victim of hate crime, the media reported.

On Wednesday, two teenagers aged 16 and 18, were arrested in connection with the assault on Sahib Singh Natt, 71, in Manteca which took place on Monday morning, reports CNN.

The incident caught on a resident’s surveillance camera shows Natt walking around a park, when two men confronted him, kicked him several times and spat on him, police in Manteca said.

In the video, the suspects appear to walk away, and then one of them returns, kicking the man several more times while he is still on the ground, reports ABC News.

Hundreds of people gathered on Tuesday night at Greystone Park in Manteca, just feet away from where Natt was beaten.

Supporters, community leaders and neighbours of the victim voiced their concerns about the attacks.

“It’s not an attack on an individual, it’s an attack on an entire community,” said one speaker.

Natt was at the community event with his family by his side. His daughter, Rupinder Kaur, told the media that Natt is paralysed on the left side of his body because of previous medical issues and could barely speak.

The assault on Natt was the second recent attack on a member of the Sikh community, reports CNN.

On July 31, Surjit Singh Malhi, 50, was attacked as he was putting out political signs in Stanislaus County, 25 miles south of Manteca.

Malhi said the two attackers yelled, “Go back to your country”, and then began beating him.

The Sikh Coalition released a statement on Wednesday for others to remain vigilant.

“This is the second violent assault of a Sikh man in California’s Central Valley within the last week and we strongly encourage the Sikh sangat in California to remain vigilant.”

SC approves draft Constitution of BCCI

by


The Supreme Court on Thursday approved the draft Constitution of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and granted full permanent membership to the Railways, the Tri-Services, and Association of Indian Universities among others.

This restoration of permanent membership and votes is in a reversal of the top court’s earlier verdict mandating “one state one vote”.

Pronouncing the judgment, a bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra also restored the voting rights of the cricket associations of Gujarat and Maharashtra including Baroda, Saurashtra, Vidarbha, and others.

The court cited the historical existence and contribution of these cricketing bodies in the rise and growth of the sport in India.

Justice D.Y. Chandrachud said every office-bearer will have to undergo a cooling period after two consecutive terms.

New quake jolts Indonesia’s Lombok

by


An earthquake measuring 5.9 on the Richter scale struck Indonesia’s Lombok Island on Thursday, less than a week after a major earthquake in the region left at least 168 people dead, more than 1,500 injured and 156,000 affected.

The US Geological Survey said the hypocentre was located at a depth of 10 km and 23 km from Mataram, the capital of the province, reports Efe news.

The quake caused people to rush out of their houses and damaged some buildings, National Agency for Disaster Management (BNPB) spokesperson Sutopo Purwo Nugroho said.

In an earlier tweet, Sutopo had raised the death toll from the 6.9 magnitude quake that struck the island on Sunday to 168, adding that official data on casualties was slow due to the verification process.

He referred to informal figures provided by other entities, which in one case put the number of deaths at 381.

The agency also reported that 1,467 people have been hospitalised and more than 156,000 displaced.

The search and rescue teams on Thursday continue to try to locate victims or survivors under the rubble of thousands of demolished buildings.

The Sunday quake occurred a week after another 6.4-magnitude tremor struck Lombok and left 16 people dead, 355 injured and 1,500 buildings destroyed.

The Indonesian archipelago is situated along the so-called “Pacific Ring of Fire”, an area known for its intense seismic and volcanic activity, which produce about 7,000 earthquakes each year, most of which are of moderate magnitude.

Ex-Chilean President nominated for UN Human Rights chief

by


UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has nominated former Chilean President Michelle Bachelet to succeed the controversial Zeid Ra’ad Al-Hussein as the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.

Her nomination was sent by Guterres on Wednesday to the UN General Assembly which must approve the appointment.

Zeid’s four-year term ends this month and General Assembly President Miroslav Lajcak had convened a session on August 3 to consider her nomination.

Zeid decided not to seek a second term for which he was eligible.

Bachelet, who completed a second term as Chile’s President in March, personally experienced human rights violations during the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet.

A doctor, she also has done advanced studies in defense in the US and served as health and defense minister — unique qualifications for a human rights chief who must confront military organizations involved in human rights violations that inflict physical and mental harm.

Bachelet now faces a task of reestablishing the credibility of her office and of the UN Human Rights Council, which have come under attack during Zeid’s stormy tenure.

India had accused Zeid of being biased after he had issued a report on human rights violations in Kashmir and called for a Security Council investigation.

India slammed the report and Deputy Permanent Representative Tanmaya Lal said it reflected “the clear bias of an official who was acting without any mandate whatsoever and relied on unverified sources of information”.

The US pulled out of the Human Rights Council in June with Permanent Representative Nikki Haley calling it a “hypocritical and self-serving organization that makes a mockery of human rights”.

Bachelet’s father, Air Force Brigadier General Alberto Arturo Miguel Bachelet Martinez, died in custody after being tortured following his arrest by Pinochet who overthrew the democratically elected President Salvador Allende in 1973.

She herself was detained and tortured before being exiled to Australia.

She moved to what was then East Germany before being allowed to return to Chile in 1979 and resume her medical studies.

After Pinochet’s defeat in a referendum in 1988 and the restoration of democracy, she received a scholarship to study at the Inter-American Defense College in Washington.

She was first elected President in 2005 but could not seek re-election as the constitution prohibits the head of state from holding two consecutive terms.

Bachelet joined the UN in 2010 as the executive director of UN Women, the office for empowering women and for gender equality.

She was again elected president in 2013.

Imran Khan wants to build trust-based relationship with US

by


Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman and Prime Minister-in-waiting Imran Khan has said that his party wants to build a relationship with the US based on trust and mutual respect.

Speaking to Acting US Ambassador to Pakistan John F. Hoover who called on him at his Banigala residence on Wednesday, the cricketer-turned-politician said Pakistan and the US had witnessed many ups and downs which were the outcome of trust deficit between the two countries, reports Dawn news.

“Our government will engage with the US to make this relationship more balanced and trustworthy. We count trade and economic relations with the US extremely important,” the PTI chief said.

He stressed the need for revitalization of diplomatic ties between the two countries and transforming the relationship for each other’s benefit.

According to the PTI’s media cell, the US delegation and Khan discussed other issues of mutual interest, including bilateral trade and stability in Afghanistan.

Hoover felicitated Khan over his party’s victory in the July 25 general election.
