During Marad riots, a Hindu name helped (Marunadan Malayali: Malayalam)
TO Sooraj's original name is Siraj. And he renamed himself when he was selected for IAS. With this name, he had even duped staunch Hindus like K.Karunakaran and Kummanam Rajashekaran. This name helped him during Marad riots. The report states that he has friendly contacts (mainly based on religion) in all governments/parties.

Marad Judicial Commission under Justice Thomas P Joseph clearly highlighted the incompetency (?) of TO Sooraj as the Kozhikode District Collector.
"Thomas P Joseph Commission of Inquiry-Marad Communal Distrabances"
5} Sri. T.O.S"ra^ the then District Collector '(H Party No.4) is also responsible for' the failure of the Civil Administration in taking all timely, preventive and remedial action to prevent the massacre at Marad Beach on 2-5- zoax "The allegation of '■- Ticnonflii^tr. raised against Sri. T.O.Suraj cannot be ignored as baseless and is required to be enquired into by the State Govt, or such other Authority as that could have had bearing on the failure of the Civil Administration, referred above.
.....
7) The lack of good rapport between Sri. T. O. Suraj and Sri. SanjivKwmar Patjoshi, the administrative heads of the Civil Administration and City Police Administration, Kozhikode and consequent lack of co- ordination between the two departments affected the effective preventive and remedial action by both the departments in preventing violence at Marad Beach on 2-5-2003.

Senior IAS officer T O Sooraj suspended for disproportionate assets

Written by Shaju Philip | Thiruvananthapuram | Posted: November 22, 2014
Senior IAS officer and Kerala Public Works Department Secretary T O Sooraj was suspended on Saturday following a vigilance report that he had amassed wealth disproportionate to his known sources of income.
The Vigilance had raided his premises in many part of Kerala and had seized documents to substantiate the case. The raids were held after the vigilance submitted an FIR in Special court in Thrissur against Sooraj, who is close to the leadership of Indian Union Muslim League and a section in the Opposition CPI (M).
Although Muslim League leader and Public Works Minister V K Ibrahim Kunju was irked over the raid, Home Minister Ramesh Chennithal send a strong message saying Kerala vigilance is not a caged parrot.
On Friday, Vigilance team had questioned Sooraj for several hours after his 10 bank accounts were freezed. ON Saturday morning, suspension came into effect after CHief Minister ratified the Vigilance recommendation, upheld up the home ministry.
Earlier in the week, a young IPS officer Rahul R Nair was suspended after Vigilance found that he had accepted bribe of Rs 17 lakh from a stone quarry owner.

Parvez Hamilton Khokhar, former project director for 'Tejas' and retired air commodore with the Aircraft and Systems Testing Establishment, was found murdered in his bedroom in Bangalore. His house was ransacked and all valuables were left untouched. Obviously the murderers were after some documents.

When did this officer retire? If he retired long time back, what sort of documents did the murderers expect to find? What are the chances of the officer holding copies of any sensitive documents?

His wife was sleeping in the next room, and said to have gone to bed after 2330Hrs. Police suspect that the murder should have happened after midnight. I guess the Inquest and Autopsy may be able to give more accurate time (and other clues) as to when the crime was committed.

Did not want to become a Sherlock Holmes and mention this yesterday

. But some how I felt that the murder was not for important documents (national security related) at all. Too many holes in the existing story. Wife's room locked from outside, a dupatta used for strangulation, an empty beer bottle and a lady's hand bag found on the terrace (though no money was stolen from the bag) etc. From what I read in yesterday's report the lady had summoned a neighbour on phone. But today they report the mobile phone was in the lady's vanity bag found in the terrace.

Militants attack Indian army base in Kashmir region, three dead
by Fayaz Bukhari, in.reuters.com
November 27th 2014 7:07 AM

SRINAGAR, India (Reuters) - Militants dressed in army uniforms attacked an Indian army base in the state of Jammu & Kashmir on Thursday, killing one soldier and wounding two, as the leaders of India and Pakistan attended a regional summit aimed at boosting trade.

A gun fight between the militants and the army was continuing, a senior Indian army officer said. Two militants had been shot dead and one arrested, the officer said.

Four to five militants attacked the army base near the town of Arnia, about four km (2.5 miles) from the border with Pakistan, the officer, who did not wish to be named as he is not authorised to speak to the media, said.

The militants had divided into two teams, with one group heading for an army bunker and the other holed up inside a village house, the officer said.The gunmen didn't infiltrate from the Pakistani side of the border, a senior Border Security Force official said.

"They came in a car to Arnia and took shelter in a bunker and targeted the army," he said.

India and Pakistan fought two of their three wars since independence in 1947 over Muslim-majority Kashmir, which they both claim in full but rule in part.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Pakistani counterpart, Nawaz Sharif, are attending the annual South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation in Nepal and their bickering has meant the leaders have refused to meet each other.

Muslim separatists have been fighting Indian forces in India's part of Kashmir since 1989. India accuses Pakistan of training and arming the rebels in the part of Kashmir it controls and sending them to the Indian side, a claim its neighbour denies.

India and Pakistan exchanged their heaviest gunfire in a decade last month, killing more than 20 people.

Lutyens Spice was supposedly run by Sagarika Ghose, Mihir Sharma and a couple of others. They have gone offline, stating "pressure from agencies". Went on to tweet that they are not against Indian National Interest - whatever it is that prompted them to tweet that proclamation.

Lutyens Masala, as stated by others, is rumoured to be run by a journalist. Since the tweets are deemed pro-RW, they say it is Kanchan Gupta and a few others.

There are other Lutyens tweeters too like Real Lutyens, who claims to be a babu with an office on Janpath. And Lutyens Insider. The latter has also gone quiet after his last tweet that IM is pushing ISIS to target NaMo.

It is best not to rely on these tweets. And if Lutyens Masala is indeed Kanchan Gupta, then why is he tweeting all the information he is about Doval's plans. That in itself gives the game away, if they are true in the first place.

Jamiat holds Kolkata hostage, President Pranab Mukherjee forced to change route
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/indi ... 322607.cms

Kolkata was ambushed by a Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind rally on Saturday afternoon, putting lakhs of commuters through six hours of agony and forcing President Pranab Mukherjee's route to be changed. At least 11 policemen — including three IPS officers — were injured in brickbatting and 13 police vehicles damaged. Journalists were attacked for "intruding on the space meant for rallyists" — which was Red Road, the city's VIP thoroughfare.

Taken by surprise, police simply stood by and let some 2 lakh Jamiat supporters run amok in the heart of Kolkata. Even bylanes in south and central Kolkata were clogged. For hours, police had no control over a 3sqkm area besieged by the rallyists. When the cops did try to restore order, they came under attack. News crews were roughed up, too, and a van of 24Ghanta damaged.

The administration has taken a battering when it was yet to recover from the bruising battle over BJP's Amit Shah rally on Sunday. Jamiat leaders wanted to hold the meeting on the Brigade grounds (Maidan) but when Army denied permission, they brazenly took over the city. And no, they did not have permission from the fire department either although the government made such a huge issue of it for the BJP rally.

The rallyists parked buses and trucks on the Maidan, in violation of the high court-imposed ban, and even parked outside Fort William, forcing Army to deploy Military Police. The "historic" gathering at the Sahid Minar grounds spilled over to the adjoining roads — Bentinck Street, JL Nehru Road, Red Road and Mayo Road — choking the business district and having a ripple effect from north to south. The 3,000-odd cops deployed turned out to be woefully inadequate for a gathering of such strength and such aggressiveness. DC-central D P Singh suffered a head injury that needed three stitches. Joint CP-traffic Supratim Sarkar and DC-south Murli Dhar Sharma, too, were injured as the mob pelted stones and turned Jamiat flagstaffs into lathis.

Jamiat leader Siddiqullah Chowdhury blamed police for the violence. "There was tension when police drove a car through the rally. The (police) action and combative reaction of a section of rallyists are both unwarranted. We have been holding rallies for years. This never happened. I suspect some outsiders sneaked into our rally to discredit us. They need to be punished," he said.

The rallyists started streaming into the city from across Bengal since dawn, but police intelligence failed to gauge the crowd count. "We had informed police that we expected about 1-1.5 lakh people. That's why we wanted to hold the rally at Brigade grounds. The gathering on Saturday turned out to be even bigger," said Chowdhury. Many rallyists were already angry at being denied their chosen venue. Pushing and jostling led to frayed tempers. Reports of a rallyist being hit by a vehicle stoked anger. "The vehicle sped away and police did not try to stop it," said some Jamiat supporters from Basirhat. This triggered a blockade of Red Road and Mayo Road. "When police tried to remove the blockade, trouble erupted," said joint CP-HQ Rajeev Mishra.

The mob first attacked a vehicle carrying the joint CP-intelligence at Red Road crossing. For a while it was a free-for-all as the mob went on the rampage. People caught in the traffic snarl blamed police's unpreparedness. "By the time senior officers stepped in to control the situation, it had already gone out of hand," said an officer who manned the control room for some time. Several people missed trains and flights. Merchant chambers cancelled meetings and ambulances were stuck in bumper-to-bumper jams.

By 12.30pm, vehicles bound for Howrah and Sealdah and south-bound traffic was stuck. "It was a nightmare for me and my daughter. We had to catch the Rajdhani at Sealdah (departure 4.50pm) and reached Race Course by 2.15pm, much ahead of time. But we got stuck in the jam. Around 3pm, I got off the taxi and had to carry our two-year-old granddaughter as my daughter and husband pulled the luggage. It is 4.10pm now and we have merely crossed KC Das crossing. I am not sure if we can make it," said Oindrella Sinha of New Alipore.

Till late evening, cops were huddled in a meeting at Lalbazar HQ trying to ascertain where they went wrong despite top IPS officers leading the forces. The embarrassed cops have decided to strike back and have filed two FIRs with 11 serious charges. "We are analyzing CCTV footage and our own videography and will start picking up those who instigated the violence," said an officer.

Was about to post the RSS cartoon that says it all, but see it's up already.
Many of us have been warning about WB for years. The secular reaction to the upcoming mess is sweep things under carpet, appease and hope/wish. If it doesn't work equate RSS with IS kind of logic. It now should be more than obvious to most Indians (if this country wants to really survive, if it is not obvious to most Indians then we are all doomed anyways) and i think the awareness is rising leaps and bounds particularly as BJP ratchets up on development that the secular lobby has no solutions to the Islamist expansion. Today people in WB (possibly one of the last places where people will realize they've been had all these years) have seen a massive Islamist rally, tomorrow the same 3 Lacs will come out and destroy some shops, rip a few statues or nationalist monuments, next they will graduate to a Noakhali kind of direct action situation. Every step of Islamist escalation is also a check on how the state reacts. At a particular point of time and scale of escalation it may be imperative to use wartime kinds of methods to eliminate these elements. Look at how Saddam, Gadaffi could manage to rule their turfs. When the tight leash was released the animals just went for the throats of whosoever they could. This is what we are dealing with. India can no longer afford to have leaders that mouth part falsehoods/truths like "Ahimsa is the highest Dharma". Leadership needs to be toughened to take hard steps initially without attracting much attention.

Returning ISIS Herrows given Herrow's Welcome in Yindoostan

Arif Majeed, 23, hailing from Kalyan, arrived by a flight via Turkey around 5.15 am Friday. He was immediately whisked away by intelligence officials to an undisclosed location for interrogation. According to Zee News, Majeed will be produced before a special NIA court today. However, latest reports suggest that Majid might have been deliberately released by the Sunni militants and has been dispatched to India for a 'job' in the country. A report on NDTV quotes (Brookhaven-Sandia) as suspecting something on the same lines.
The NIA on Friday registered an FIR against ISIS and Arif Majeed, who until now was believed to have been killed while fighting.. in Syria.

Oops! Sorry. I c that Sachin has already answered my original pooch on whether the herrows are just allowed to melt away into society to go about their bissful bum-making endeavors.
