I am not challenging IA's capabilities in monitoring radio communications. But WPC (Wireless Planning & Coordination) cell has monitoring stations available at all stations only for this purpose. The generally have the expertise and relevant equipment to do a quick "band scanning"; i.e monitoring a large radio spectrum to check for traffic and then focus on the "interesting" ones.

The news report quoting the Amateur Radio operations mentioned the communication to be on VHF. HAM radio frequency on VHF is 144Mhz-146Mhz. And yes, during extreme winters range of VHF increases dramatically (have copied stations operating nearly 400km away).

As UN Slams India For Deporting Five, Saudi Arabia To Send Back Hundreds Of Rohingyas To Bangladesh
On Sunday (6 January), Saudi Arabia is all prepared to send Rohingya immigrants out of their territory. Rohingyas, who have spent about five to six years in Saudi detention, were being lined up for deportations at the Shumaisi detention centre in Jeddah, India Today has reported.

According to the report, in a video footage received by a London-based news outlet, a detainee could be heard saying that he has been in Saudi Arabia for the past six years and is now being sent to Bangladesh, where he, like other Rohingyas, will become refugee.

"I've been here for the last five to six years, now they are sending me to Bangladesh. Please pray for me," he said.

After reported attempt to resist their deportation to Bangladesh, some of them were also put in handcuffs, according to voice notes sent to the outlet.

"They came to our cells in the middle of the night, telling us to pack our bags, and get ready for Bangladesh. They put handcuffs on me and now making us wait." said another voice note.

As per the report, many Rohingya locked up in the Shumaisi detention centre reportedly went to Saudi Arabia on Bangladeshi passports that were obtained using fake documents. Some of them reportedly also used passports from India, Nepal, Pakistan and Nepal to enter Saudi Arabia.

India, on 3 January, deported a family of five Rohingyas who were lodged at an Assam prison. One more Rohingya migrant, from Rakhine state of Myanmar, kept at Ambala jail in Haryana was also sent back on 2 January.

The citizenship amendment Bill which was passed by the look Sabha recently is the reason. The bill essentially confers citizenship to Bangladeshi and Pakistani citizens facing persecutions. The AGP is opposed to it.

I think the citizenship-amendment-bill is a very good thing. The protests from certain districts of Assam which might go through population inversion are expected.

RS may see an opposition walkout prior to the bill being passed.

There is no way to tell a person's religion if he is trying to immigrate illegally.

He can claim one thing and once in, can revert back.

Also it promotes the exodus and/or dumping of surplus population from neighboring states on Bharath.

Finally, it will promote a flood of economic migrants.

Not a good bill.

Rather, there should be diplomatic and economic pressure applied on these countries to reform their societies and laws to accommodate these people.

At best, the acceptance should be selectively screened.

in this case DDM is correct. this is not a routine transfer, he was first sacked as Director CBI by the high power committee; this committee does not have the power to transfer anyone.

the transfer was a separate executive decision of the govt.

As much as “35 per cent” of total cyber attacks from PLA are directed at Indian servers. While India has no cyber force, PLA’s “cyberwar room” has 35,000 govt hackers and 1.5 lakh private ones

It has been reliably learnt that a majority of Chinese hackers have been targeting Indian websites for mainly “political and diplomatic motives.”

Dr Paval Duggal, a Supreme Court lawyer specialising in cybersecurity, says that Chinese tech companies’ growing involvement in the Indian market could have “damaging political implications” as India approaches the 2019 elections.

The veteran SC lawyer says that UC Browser, developed by China’s UCWeb, had been accused of “trying to sway the political outcomes” in the recently concluded Telangana state elections.

ven the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) has been compromised by Chinese malware. Says Duggal, “A couple of years back, at least 600 cyber attacks took place, all directed at the PMO. All of them were found to have come from China.”

the DDM is playing it up as usual.

He was transferred and that is exactly why his "explanation" or the chance to justify/explain/defend himself was not accorded to him.

There is no rule in any civil service manual/procedure to seek a govt servant's justification/explanation/defence when he is served a transfer order.

the DDM/politicos/lootyens pasand presstitutes are pushing a lie. The sole dissenter in the group which transferred him was allegedly given only a few hours notice to attend the meeting per reports from the gulf where the "head" of a major party, while on foreign soil, castigated the PM as well as the govt of India.

And, in the few hours given him, the dissenter allegedly came up with a legally drafted, six page dissent "note". Amazing, to say the least.

Such expedient explanations simply will not wash.

BTW, the group which transferred him may not have had the power to sack him and the only option with them was transfer to him to an equivalent post with his perks and privileges intact.

chetak ji, please do not go all taliban on me.
alok verma was sacked as director CBI, DDM is correct on that. it was the 3-member committee that did it and it is entirely within its powers to do that, with or without any chance to anyone to represent themself. media spin notwithstanding .

The 3 member committee giveth and the 3 member committee taketh away, blessed be the name of the 3 member committee. ;)

however, what it can't do is transfer him to fire services or any other post. it's terms of reference start and end with the director of the CBI.
Do you understand what you are saying ? if this committe has the power of general transfers, the CJI & LoP can wreck havoc by simply randomly transferring officers from one dept. to another completel bypassing the govt. of the day.
thankfully, the committee does not have such powers.

what must have happened is that the govt. must have displayed good footwork and timed the transfer to coincide (or a bit later) with the order for removal of Alok verma from the post. instead of keeping him in suspended animation. the timing must have confused a few into thinking he was simply transferred from one post to another. why was he reinstated by the CJI led supreme court in the first place only to be removed by the same person (or his representative, makes no difference) a couple of days later ?
it's because the govt.'s order of removal of verma as CBI director was against the letter of the law although it was in the correct spirit of not allowing a public servant with prima facie proof of corruption to continue in a position of power. because the govt simply did not have that power. only the 3 member committe did.
so what the SC did is correct that bit of technicality by reinstating him, so that this doesn't create a bad precedence for the future (SC rulings having the force of law) and then help remove him a couple of days later in the 'proper way'.

@Rahul M ji,

Effectively, he was sacked, that I agree.

I read a detailed explanation yesterday which I failed to copy or bookmark it and I can't seem to find it now and that actually formed the gist of my post above.

I almost always try and provide a link (or quote in full) relevant to what I have posted. Looks like I slipped up.

I will post that link if I find it.

When I watch the news or read the papers/net, the recurring phrase is always "the new broom" which should have been used at the very outset in 2014 to sweep clean.

How is it possible that these guys are still being blindsided in 2018/19??

That crook Moin Qureshi has brought down three CBI directors all on his own. Its got to be a record. Are they all sleeping in dilli??

Whenever there is a transfer, there has been a corruption of the law.

Whenever you hear someone has been transferred, it means there is an attempt underway to subvert justice.

That is the purpose of transfers.

As we head for a very important election in 2019, I am forced to learn from USA and invite you to think about who could be interested in us and what would serve its agenda.

There is absolutely no doubt that China is interested in the outcome Indian elections.

A strong India isn’t exactly a Chinese dream. They will want India to be unstable and confused. They will want Indian growth to slow down, especially in industrial sector, and they will surely love to see Indian military power to become weak.

It is easy to see that a weak government at helm in India would serve Chinese agenda wonderfully well, so it would be stupid of us if we are not going to consider a possibility that somewhere in China there is a large establishment working right now with a clear agenda of using whatever options they have to influence Indian elections.

There is no doubt that China must have done so in every election in past, but the case of 2019 election is a clearly different.

The problem today is that China is a superpower, a technology powerhouse and, lot worse, it is almost a rogue state that is immune to international opinions and pressures. There is also enough evidence that it uses unethical hacking as a state-supported weapon and it is really good at it too.

Lot worse is, Chinese IT products, especially smartphones have penetrated not just Indian market but the entire world. Time and again, it is caught with having inserted a chip here and an IC there in computers and phones it has supplied to the world that it can use for snooping.

As China-built smartphone is the primary route used by Indian masses to access social media, it is very likely that China is already holding us by the short hairs.

So, if Russia could tweak the opinion of American public by using social media, it should be a cakewalk for Chinese to do that to India.

Modi's India first policy has upset a lot of countries who were used to bribing their through our eagerly conniving political system.

All these countries, needless to say, openly and aggressively follow their "own country first" policy without any conscience or moral consideration but with solely crass commercial deliberation, and often embed sly strategic objectives.

Their often state sponsored NGOs run riot here even while they wilfully (and wisely)prevent such NGOs from wreaking havoc in their own countries. They pay off filthy NGOs like amnesty and greenpeace to agitate in India and pretend as though local aam jantha is unhappy with the Modi govt policies. They interfere by providing "guidance" in "drafting" slanted and dubious legislation to our illiterate and corrupt politicos to push through the system to the detriment of the country and its people.

At long last, someone is questioning the intentions of such off shore entities and their anti India policies and these guys don't like it.

Sterlite in one very recent example where they had maliciously shut down 40% of India's copper production facilities.

Modi's India asking serious questions about the balance of payment issues, reciprocal arrangements to be enforced for fair trade practices, transfer of technology requirements, restricting proselytization and so seeking our rightful place in the sun has become an anathema to these guys.

From licking their boots to now grabbing them by the throat is a big change, and a very unwelcome change and these guys resent their impotence.

It is time the Assamese withdrew from opposition to the Citizenship amendment bill. From various reports there are enough checks and balances in the bill to ensure that only persons facing religious persecution gets citizenship. It seems the process is that the person should have entered legally or must have a LTV (Long term visa). He/she then has to apply for citizenship giving evidence of religious persecution. Upon which local authorities are going to do due diligence and then send for approval from MHA. This will ensure that there is no benefit for illegal immigration and the bill is directed at only those facing religious persecution. This will be an insurance policy for minorities in these three countries. Reports suggest that most people carrying an LTV are from Pak not Bdesh. Very few Bdeshi illegals will benefit at this stage but they will have future insurance. This will give them more confidence to stay in Bdesh. I suspect this agitation in Assam is being fueled by ULFA-type elements. Further there is a need to communicate the fine print of this bill to the Assamese people. There will be no mass exodus into Assam.

Daesh plot to poison thousands
NINE ‘OPERATIVES’ HELD IN ATS RAIDS

Chemicals in ‘experimental quantities’ seized this week; investigators ascertaining if Kumbh Mela was on the list of targets

The nine youths who were picked up on Tuesday from Mumbra and Aurangabad for suspected links with terror outfit Daesh were planning to orchestrate a mass poisoning

Among those arrested are a pharmacist and two engineers.

The source said the nine youths, aged 17-25, were a close-knit group and called themselves ‘Ummat- e-Mohammediya’

They had elected an ‘emir’ (chief), who was allegedly the link between the youngsters and an online Daesh handler/recruiter, whose identity and location is being ascertained.

what's with this guy constantly "meeting" the chinese??

is it allowed without the permission of the GoI??

what about the report to the govt, to be filed thereafter??

such unwarranted meetings can leave people wide open to security risks.

He had also spoken out of turn at the US embassy sometime earlier too and the ambassador had reported those unsavory/unwarranted comments against some Indian entities to the US govt of the time.


Rahul Gandhi accidentally reveals he had a secret meeting with Chinese ministers during his Kailash visit


Rahul Gandhi accidentally reveals he had a secret meeting with Chinese ministers during his Kailash visit

During the much-published visit of Rahul Gandhi to Kailash Mansarovar in September last year, he had a meeting with a couple of Chinese ministers. And this sensational revelation has come from Rahul Gandhi himself, not from any other source.

While answering a question on concerns of automation in job creation, Rahul Gandhi said that a couple of Chinese ministers told him during his Kailash visit that China is facing no problem in job creation due to automation.

There was no report of Rahul Gandhi meeting Chinese ministers during his pilgrimage to the holy lake, this means the meeting was kept a secret, and Rahul Gandhi accidentally revealed it while talking about an unrelated matter in Odisha today. Rahul Gandhi is a member of parliament, and the president of the largest opposition party. Moreover, China is not a friendly country, it is hostile towards India. China claims Arunachal Pradesh to be their territory, their forces regularly intrude into the Indian side of the border. Therefore, any unpublished meeting with the Chinese government by Indian politicians is a serious issue.

It is not known whether the government of India is aware of this meeting.

This is not the first time the Congress president had secret meetings with foreign dignitaries to be revealed later. On 8th July 2017, Rahul Gandhi had a meeting with the Chinese Ambassador to India Luo Zhaohui which was not made public. When some media houses reported the meeting, the Congress party termed it fake news. But later the meeting was confirmed by the Chinese embassy on its website.

The meeting between Rahul Gandhi and the Chinese Ambassador had happened when both the countries were engaged in the Doklam Standoff, which lasted till August 2017.

Disagree.

It's not in India's interest to become the refugee capital of the world.

There are enough mouths to feed within the country and many who are living in dire situations as is.

Have a sponsorship system. To those advocating letting people in, deduct X amount from their bank account to pay for the the person they sponsor to bring in.

As long as they are willing to pay (as opposed to making others pay) and house these folks in their own state, it's not a problem. Deduct a set amount for the cost of sending the person back to the country of origin ahead of time in the event of non-payment.

That would be a fair system.

Anything else is moral hazard. People are quick to pledge the property and money of others but never their own.

Dear sir, no body is going to tax you more to provide for those refugees, and you are not 'feeding' too many mouths within the country.
Your statement is no different from britards' comments in dailymail who say as if everything in India runs because of their aid money.
Don't you follow news of how 'minorities' are converted, abducted, killed etc there? This bill is for those kind of people to escape such horrors. And yes, India is natural home for everyone belonging to sanatana dharma but it's not going to become refugee capital of the world as you say. Such refugees will help in reducing demographic tilt if you think about it.

Someone is getting the bill for this, and that someone is an Indian.
There are tons of desperately poor Indians as it stands just trying to make ends meet.
Don't you follow news of how 'minorities' are converted, abducted, killed etc there?
People, notably children, are dieing of malnutrition, poverty and disease in India and need help.
The world's problem are not India's problem.

A serious question though :
How much land and money are you ready to part with to pay for these refugees ?
The housing, the food & clothing, the employment and the health care - the 4 basics.
It's a question that really needs answering before any discussion on this subject can begin.
All the dharma stuff is great until someone is presented with the bill.
Furthermore if indeed you are ready to pay, why isn't this generosity extended to a desperate Indian first?
And yes, India is natural home for everyone belonging to sanatana dharma


Not sure about this dharma stuff but I've found once the bill shows up, most of these holy men make a hasty exit.
They certainly don't want any slums showing up near their homes.
But as long as it's someone else's home, they're fine with it.

The sponsorship model makes the most sense to me.
It's a case of taking on the responsibilities and financial needs of the people being let in.
To make it someone else's problem and generate roadside slums with these folks battling Indians for subsistence level manual labor jobs is unconscionable.
