'JNU Vice-Chancellor cordially invites JNU teachers, staff and students to attend a keynote address by Dr. Arvind Gupta, whose social media team on Twitter cordially abuses and threatens women with rape threats and graphic abuse!... Arvind Gupta has led the social media campaigns of the BJP’s IT Cell for several years now. Shortly after Narendra Modi’s projection as Prime Minister began, women journalists and activists started to get unimaginable online abuse, if they wrote about Narendra Modi, or Gujarat Riots.
'The obviously edited video, shown on TV news as well as spreading over social media, actually has Kanhaiya asking to end social ills such as caste and hunger – not any sort of political secessionism... Wednesday morning had the news channel NewsX and India News run a video which they claimed “exposed” Kanhaiya Kumar, president of the Jawaharlal Nehru student’s union, now in jail charged with sedition. “Kanhaiya’s ‘sedition’ exposed on tape,” ran the blazing headline on NewsX.
'There is a strange coincidence to the David Headley confession in the Ishrat Jahan case that needs to be mentioned before we look into other facts. On the day it was announced that Ujjwal Nikam would be conferred a Padma Shri by the current government at the Centre, he appeared on NDTV India on a programme with senior journalist and anchor Ravish Kumar. While glossing over his career, Nikam told Kumar that he would see him again post February 8, when a big revelation would be made before the country.
'New Delhi's negotiators in Paris say that Indians emit only 1.6 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide per year per capita. But that statistic doesn't tell the whole story... The per capita statistic has come under attack from many organisations in recent years. All Indians are not created equal: like everything else there is stark inequality between the carbon footprints of the richest and the poorest.
'...Repeating the 2014 success seems to be the overarching aim of the elaborate planning behind meticulously orchestrated welcomes accorded Modi during his trips to the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Arab Emirates and Britain over the past 14 months. The activities do not violate Indian law. The Overseas Friends of BJP will continue to orchestrate the key part in this scheme. The vast majority of OFBJP ranks are members of the Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh, the foreign arm of the Hindu chauvinist Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
'There's no doubt over Pahlaj Nihalani's love for Prime Minister Narendra Modi. After the Central Board Of Film Certification chief made 'Har Ghar Modi', for the Prime Minister, he has now come out with a new video called 'Mera Desh Hai Mahaan, Mera Desh Hai Jawaan'. Besides being available on YouTube, this five-and-a-half-minute music video — a paean to Modi and the policies he has instituted as PM — is reportedly playing in several cinemas at the interval point of Sooraj Barjatya's Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, which released on Thursday.
'The magnetism of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has not spared audiences turning out for Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. A 5.30-minute video singing the praises of the prime minister and the Centre's achievements is playing during the interval of Sooraj Barjatya's latest movie at several multiplex chains across the country, including PVR Cinemas and Inox. The video is the brainchild of Central Board of Film Certification chairperson Pahlaj Nihalani. It is an expanded version of his recent Mera Desh Hai Mahaan, Mera Desh Hai Jawan.
'On July 1, Prime Minister Narendra Modi hosted a group of 150 social media influencers at 7 RCR. The exclusive, invite-only, no selfie-allowed event was organized on the sidelines of the Digital India initiative... Among the 150 special invitees was also the Convenor of the Bhagat Singh Kranti Sena which shot to infamy for its attack on senior lawyer Prashant Bhushan after he suggested a referendum for J&K...'
'...Sixty-eight years on, the ease with which the RSS has gone about sanitising its past must put India to shame. The Right Wing organisation now denies any complicity in the killing of Gandhi. Its grudging admission that Godse had been a longstanding member of the RSS is accompanied by the dubious claim that he quit the organisation long before he pulled the trigger on Gandhi. As "evidence" of its innocence, it cites the findings of an independent commission of inquiry instituted in 1966 to investigate the circumstances of Gandhi's assassination.
