Mamata hails ‘amazing’ Indian Air Force

February 26, 2019 by Nasheman

Nasheman News :  West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday hailed the Indian Air Force after it carried out air strikes across the Line of Control in Pakistan’s Balakot.

“IAF also means India’s Amazing Fighters. Jai Hind,” Banerjee tweeted.

Reports claimed that the IAF strike was carried out by a group of Mirage 2000 fighters at around 3.30 a.m. in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region.

The strike in Balakot was significant as the location was beyond Pakistan-administered Kashmir, indicating it was not merely an LoC violation but a punitive action inside Pakistani territory.

It follows a suicide bombing attack on a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) convoy in Pulwama on February 14 that killed 40 troopers.

Karnataka SIT to probe Kalburgi murder case

February 26, 2019 by Nasheman

Nasheman News :The Supreme Court on Tuesday entrusted the Karnataka Special Investigation Team (SIT) – which is investigating the Gauri Lankesh murder case – to probe into the murder of rationalist M. M. Kalburgi.

The bench, headed by Justice Rohinton Fali Nariman, said the probe would be monitored by the Dharwad bench of Karnataka High Court. 

Kalburgi’s widow Uma Mallinath Devi had moved the top court in 2017, seeking an SIT probe into his murder.

The top court had on November 26, 2018, pulled up the Karnataka Police for not taking steps to unearth the murder of Kalburgi outside his home in Dharwad on August 30, 2015.

“What have you done so far? You are just fooling around,” the court had said, taking a dim view of the investigation by Karnataka Police.

February 26, 2019 by Nasheman

Nasheman News : Karnataka thrashed minnows Mizoram by 137 runs to cruise to their fourth win on the trot and consolidate the position atop Group D, while former champions Bengal were stunned by Assam in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Twenty20 tournament, here on Monday.

Opting to bat, Karnataka toyed with the Mizoram attack to post 242/4 in the stipulated 20 overs.

In reply, Mizoram were restricted to 105/6 with leg-spinner Shreyas Gopal returning best figures of 4/8 from his four overs to hand his team a simple win at the Barabati Stadium.

Karnataka have 16 points from four matches, four points clear of Assam, who jumped to second spot following their stunning 26-run win over Bengal at the Barabati Stadium.

Sibsankar Roy hit a brilliant 83 off 53 balls (12×4, 1×6) to help Assam recover from 10/2 inside three overs, following Ashok Dinda’s double blow in successive overs. They posted 162/5 in 20 overs.

Dinda finished with impressive figures of 4/17 but Bengal failed to put up a good show with the bat, managing just 136/9 in 20 overs and succumb to their second defeat.

Elsewhere in Group D, Chhattisgarh registered a thrilling five-wicket win over Haryana as they chased down 211.

In Group B, Tamil Nadu defeated Gujarat by just one run in a low-scoring encounter.

Batting first, Tamil Nadu could score 125/6 with Arzan Nagwaswalla, Gujarat’s left-arm pacer, picking 3/11 in four overs. Gujarat fell short, bowled out for 124 with one ball to spare.

In another Group B match, Himachal Pradesh beat Bihar by nine wickets at Surat, while Vidarbha eased past Rajasthan by 44 runs.

Defending champions Delhi continued their fine form as they defeated Kerala by seven wickets in a Group A game. All the bowlers picked a wicket each as Kerala could only reach 139/7 in their allotted 20 overs.

Nitish Rana and Unmukt Chand then put together a 64-run partnership for the third wicket to ensure Delhi cruised to victory.

In another Group A game, Manipur thrashed Nagaland by 10 wickets, while J&K beat Andhra by five wickets.

In Group C, Sikkim were bundled out for 75 as Saurashtra cruised through to a seven-wicket win. Jaydev Unadkat and Chetan Sakariya picked two wickets each as Sikkim struggled to get any sort of momentum in their innings.

February 26, 2019 by Nasheman

India has struck JeM’s biggest training camp, large number of terrorists, jihadis eliminated: Govt

February 26, 2019 by Nasheman

In a 21-minute offensive, 12 Mirage 2000 jets carried out the strike at around 3.30 am and dropped 1000 Kg bombs on terror camps across LOC, completely destroying it.

JeM

Hours after the pre-dawn offensive on Pakistan-based terror camps, the Government said on Tuesday said that “India has struck the biggest training camp of Jaish-e-Mohammed in Balakot eliminating a very large number of JeM terrorists, trainers, senior commander and jihadis in the operation”.

The camp in Balakot was led by Maulana Yusuf Azhar alias Ustad Ghauri, brother-in-law of JeM Chief Masood Azhar.

Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale addressing the media said India had received credible information on JeM attempting other attacks in the country and therefore a pre-emptive strike had become necessary.

“Credible intelligence was received that Jaish-e-Mohammed was attempting another suicide terror attack in various parts of the country and fidayeen jihadis were being trained for this purpose,” he said.

He said the non-military pre-emptive action was targeted specifically at the JeM camp adding that the selection of the target was also conditioned to avoid civilian casualties.

“India has given proof many times seeking action against Jaish-e-Mohammed and others at terror camps so big, that they can train hundreds of jihadis and terrorists at any given time. But due to Pakistan’s inaction, this step was necessary and had to be taken,” he said.

“India is firmly and resolutely committed to taking all measures to fight the menace of terrorism. This non-military pre-emptive action was targeted specifically at JeM camp. The selection of the target was also conditioned by our desire to avoid civilian casualties,” Gokhale added.

In a 21-minute offensive, 12 Mirage 2000 jets carried out the strike at around 3.30 am and dropped 1000 Kg bombs on terror camps across LOC, completely destroying it.

The IAF jets struck terror camps and launch pads across the LoC in Balakot at around 3.45 am, Muzaffarabad at around 3.48 am and Chakoti at around 3.58 am.

One of the targets destroyed by Indian fighter jets was reportedly in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa area. Strikes in the region were based on locations provided by on-ground intelligence sources.

According to a report by media, the IAF strike has led to 200-300 casualties on the Pakistani side.

Following the attack, the Indian Air Force has put on high alert across all air defence systems along the international border and LoC to respond to any possible action by the Pakistan Air Force.

The development comes amid heightened tension between India and Pakistan following the 14 February suicide attack on a CRPF convoy in Jammu and Kashmir in which 44 jawans were killed. Pakistan-based and supported terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed had claimed responsibility for the attack.

IAS official files police complaint against suspended AAP MLA

February 26, 2019 by Nasheman

Nasheman News : Hours after suspended AAP MLA Kapil Mishra stirred a controversy over his poem hitting out at so-called enemies of the nation residing in the country on social media, an official of the Department of Telecommunications lodged a formal complaint with the Delhi Police seeking an FIR against the legislator.

Ashish Joshi, an Uttarakhand-based IAS officer on his “official letter” sent a police complaint against Mishra to the Delhi police commissioner Amulya Patnaik alleging that “it is brought to your notice that one Kapil Mishra has circulated a highly incendiary video, provoking people to attack some citizens”.

“I saw the video on twitter. It has been uploaded on YouTube. The content of the video is self-explanatory and violates Indian Penal Code and IT Act,” Joshi said in his letter to the Delhi Police. 

“The letter is issued in public interest,” Joshi added.

Soon after the letter was shared by Joshi on Twitter, many people retweeted it. Senior journalist Barkha Dutt, senior Supreme Court lawyer Prashant Bhushan, former AAP leader Ashutosh also retweeted demanding action against Mishra.

The suspended Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA then also took to twitter and said that he would lodge a complaint against Joshi, Bhushan, Kavita Krishnan and Ashutosh for circulating fake news against him. 

“This man Ashish Joshi – misusing letterhead and playing agenda. This is not part of his job. Tomorrow I shall lodge a complaint for misusing his official position. I shall also lodge a complaint againsty Bhushan, Krishnan, Ashutosh for spreading false information about me.”

“Another lie about me is also being spread that government has lodged a complaint against me. Ashish Joshi has miused his official letterhead. He is the same person who lodged a complaint against BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra. His only work is to promote the agenda of Left parties,” Mishra said attaching few snapshots of the tweets shared by Joshi in the past. 

The entire controversy erupted after Mishra on Monday morning recited and posted a video of a poem on Twitter hitting out at the so-called enemies of the nation within the country. 

“It’s Now or Never. Pull them out on streets, as the traitors are hiding inside our house. Kapil Mishra exposing Terrorism supporters in India,” he said in his tweet. 

Reacting sharply to the video of Mishra, Shehla Rashid, Barkha Dutt, Bhushan, Ashutosh, Krishnan took to twitter to lodge a protest. 

“Dear IPS Madhur Vermaji, this person who has a huge following and is an MLA from Delhi, is giving an open, emotive call to people to enter our homes, drag us to the streets and lynch us,” Rashid tweeted.

“What a revolting man. This is direct incitement to violence and lynchijg and merits a jail term and account being scrapped ASAP cc,” Dutt tweeted.
