There was an issue last week when the Hindu community in an area in New Delhi clearly said that they would not allow Mohharam procession to go through their part of the town. The diktat was from a Maha Panchayat. The "seculars" did not whine in the high pitch they usually do. God knows why. But what was mentioned was that the procession was generally a Shia affair, and Shias and Hindus do NOT have too many issues. Even in this case, the procession took a different route and no clashes occurred. Now that these kind of ISIS gimmicks are coming out, I feel the majority community hold concerns against Shias as well. Common people on the ground some times recognise all these small signs (Shia or Sunni supporting ISIS) much quicker than the state machinery may come to know of it.Dipanker wrote:And these are shias, do they even know that shias are being slaughtered in Pakistan ?

Re: Internal Security Watch
Another attempt to create riots -- someone has got really busy after Maharashtra and Haryana election results. In Delhi, this is the third incident in the last 15 days -- Trilokpuri, Bawana and now Okhla.
Dead pig found in mosque, Okhla shows restraint
Dead pig found in mosque, Okhla shows restraint
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city ... 052859.cmsNEW DELHI: Okhla was tense on Wednesday morning after a slaughtered pig was found inside a mosque. However, showing restraint and maturity Muslim residents of the area prevented the anger from spilling into the streets. Aware that communal tension in Trilokpuri had sparked a riot hardly a fortnight ago, and Bawana had been on the edge just a day earlier, they formed a 20-member aman (peace) committee with 10 Muslims and Hindus each to tackle the situation.

Officials fear al Qaeda grooming Indian militants for big attacks
Officials fear al Qaeda grooming Indian militants for big attacks
Decrypted communications between Indian Mujahideen (IM) and al Qaeda and testimony from suspects have triggered alarm among intelligence officials in New Delhi: the groups appear to be working together to launch major attacks in the region.
The officials told Reuters that plots they had uncovered included the kidnapping of foreigners and turning India into a "Syria and Iraq where violence is continuously happening".
...
Weeks after al Qaeda announced the formation of a South Asia wing to strike across the subcontinent, agencies said they had discovered IM members were training with al Qaeda and other groups in Pakistan and Afghanistan for major attacks.
...
Security officials cite last Sunday's deadly suicide bombing on the Pakistani side of a border crossing with India, and a terror alert on Tuesday at two eastern ports that forced the Indian navy to withdraw two ships, as evidence that militant coordination and activity are on the rise.
"The thing we are looking for is how al Qaeda/ISIS tie up with local groups, especially as the drawdown takes place in Afghanistan," said Sharad Kumar, head of the NIA (National Investigation Agency), the country's main counter-terrorism arm.
...
The Internet chats, which the United States helped Indian investigators to decipher, reveal tensions between IM and Pakistan's powerful Inter-Services Intelligence agency, which India says has nurtured the group with finance and equipment.

The second arrest, that of Zia-ul-Haque, was made at Masjid Talha in Khagragarh of Burdwan district where he was hiding. Haque's position was traced by the NIA with the help of central security agencies.

I find this not unreasonable. Perhaps Indians can collect donations for their passage to India. All concerned, including Pakistan, will be grateful.

Re: Internal Security Watch
From this report in The Hindu, the following caught my attention:
The growing incidents of support for the ISIS, coming in ones and twos from various parts of India, coupled with the stiffening anti-India sentiment among certain such traditional sections of the society are a cause for big internal threat.
This is what India is up against. Tomorrow, someone can claim that even "Bharat ka jai" was aganst Islamic sentiments because Islam did not recognize geographical boundaries.Mr. Jamal said the strong Hindu symbolism associated with Mr. Modi's personality further creates a doubt in the minority community, which has its reservation about with Hindu nationalist slogans like “Bharat mata ki jai”.

See how much Hindu has chosen to report inaccurately and incompletely. These groups will slowly be overpowered by the Wahhabi groups.
The increasing influence of Saudi funded wahabissm among the Indian Muslims is one of the biggest threat to India. The IM NRIs in gulf and Malaysia are being cultivated and funds are sent through them.

SSridhar:
This should not be a suprise but only a logical result of back to the book fundamentalist attitude preached by the likes of Tawheed Jamath in TN (and their counterparts in every state of India, some of whom in Kerala and WB and UP are even more fundamentalistic). I have noticed that several muslims now do not return a secular Vanakkam (or Namaskar) anymore with folded hands as they used to even a decade earlier. They acknowledge it with some other expression and a smile or nod of head!
Like Sri Aurobindo observed several decades ago, the only lasting solution to this need to come from within Islam like the Bahai movement in Iran, but more successful than that, because Islam as a religion is not open to outside ideas.
In addition to keeping a close tab on fundamentalists and restricting fundamentalist preachings, we can do our best to encourage a culture of debate and rationalism amongst Muslims so that they too have their "enlightenment" and reformist movement that the other religions have had. Hindus benefited a lot from Swami Vivekananda, Sri Aurobindi, Dayananda Saraswathi in abolishing superstitions and reforming practical hinduism. The current pope for example ceded defeat to the scientific community in matter of big bang theory and evolution.
With widespread prevalence of media and tendency of all Indians to watch TV everyday, there is some opportunity for us to trigger a debate amongst progressive followers of islam vs fundamentalists. There are lot of Muslims who dislike these fundamentalists but are forced to follow them in wearing burqah or saying MashaAlla instead of Hello on the phone. Our media houses should be encouraged to conduct reality shows and debates between progressive muslims and fundamentalists on things like wearing burqa or saying Bharat Mata ki Jai or singing Vande Mataram. There can be debate regarding what science says in terms of evolution, big bang theory and what Islam says.
Personally I feel that acceptance of evolution (which is natural for Hinduism which always talked of evolution of conscious experience of soul and has a sequence of Aavatars that co-relate to evolution of life with remarkable consistency and accuracy) is most difficult for Islam. Islam is built on infallibility of every word in Quran and Hadiths even the most material ones for eternity! This is fundamentally against evolution. If humans are to evolve it is rational that our social systems, etc., will also need to evolve. Hinduism does not have a problem here because it makes a distinction between Absolute Truths that are eternal and relative time bound truths and social customs which are expected to be revived or reformed every so often (thats why not all of Manu Smriti is not applicable today). Islam does not have such a notion.
Islam needs to evolve - or it will wage a war against rest of the world which is constantly evolving. Government should encourage options for open debate and rational discussion amongst followers of islam to help evolve that religion to 21st century. Once islamic scholars accept evolution as a mechanism of Allah, they will have to concede the fact that they cannot have a legal framework (shariah) or moral framework that does not evolve with time. Ex: In the world of video and audio and forensic science with DNA evidence, several parts of Shariah become irrelevant.

Re: Internal Security Watch
Initially it was being portrayed as a Hindu name
A name for Burdwan John Doe
A name for Burdwan John Doe
Snehamoy Chakraborty and Indranil Sarkar
Nov. 11:
Subhan Mandal was Burdwan blast's John Doe, the Americanism for unidentified persons.
Investigators trying to trace the roots of the bleeding man who identified himself as "Subhan Mandal" before he breathed his last on October 2 had hit a dead end till now.
Now, it appears that Mandal was Abdul Karim, who worked in Calcutta and hailed from Kaferpur under Nanoor police station in Birbhum.
It also turns out that Karim - one of the two persons killed in the bomb-assembling home last month - was the cousin of the youth who bought chemicals from Calcutta's Camac Street to make the bombs.
The chemical procurer, Amjad Ali alias Kajol Sheikh, was arrested on Monday. On the basis of information provided by Ali, the investigators have reached a tentative conclusion that Subhan was Karim.
A couple have identified a photograph as that of their son Karim but the conclusion is not final yet because of a perceived age mismatch. Besides, the couple have not seen the body yet. The other person who died in the seemingly accidental explosion was Shakil Ahmed.
"Ali has told us that Subhan was his first cousin, whose real name was Abdul Karim alias Karim Sheikh. Karim used to live in Kaferpur and was the son of Amjad's father's sister," said an NIA source.
According to him, the process of official identification - the body has been kept in the police morgue in Burdwan Medical College - was on.
Initially, the trail had gone cold after the investigators found an East Midnapore address, provided by a blast survivor, to be incorrect.
"There was no one answering to the name of Subhan Mandal at the given address in East Midnapore. But now it appears that his true identity has been established," said an investigator.
Karim's parents - Jamshed Sheikh, a vegetable shop owner, and Noorjahan Bibi - told The Telegraph that the last time they had seen their son was two-and-a-half months ago when he left to work with a shoe company in Calcutta.
"My son left home to work in Calcutta with Kodor Sheikh (an absconding suspect), who used to live in the neighbouring village, Nimre. He returned two-and-a-half months ago, saying he now worked for a shoe company," said Jamshed.
Karim's mother Noorjahan said that the parents were completely in the dark about the alleged activities of their son. "When he left home, we knew that Amjad (the cousin now in NIA custody) was familiar with our son's prospective workplace as Amjad was also working in Calcutta. So, we did not hesitate when he left to work with Kodor," she said.
An investigator said a picture was shown to Jamshed Sheikh and he had confirmed the identity.
Karim's relatives have collected a residential certificate from Kirnahar-1 gram panchayat and left for Burdwan district to identify the body.
A police source said: "According to Karim's family, he had not attained the age of 18 and hence did not have a voter ID card. But the man who died in the blast appears to be in his 20s.... Things will be clearer once the formal identification is done tomorrow."
Bangladesh arrest
The brother of Sajid, the Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh's alleged point man in Bengal, has been arrested in Bangladesh's Narayanganj port town, PTI quoted officials as saying in Dhaka today.
"We have arrested Mohammad Monayem from Farazikanda in Narayanganj early this morning," said a spokesperson for the Rapid Action Battalion.
Sajid, said to be the son of a Bangladeshi armyman, was arrested in India last week.

Re: Internal Security Watch
how did he get those sleeping pills ?? After that threat it should have been taken away from him
Re: Internal Security Watch
May be because he is in judicial custody and not a convict he has some rights that are not afforded to convicted prisoners. Which includes access to such items. But this is a weak excuse on my part
Re: Internal Security Watch
Somehow, Kunal Ghose' suicide attempts reminds me this Godfather-2 scene. For influential persons getting cigars, sleeping pills into a prison is a child play. In the best interests of the nation, I think whole Sharada Chit fund scam should be moved out of West Bengal.

In Judicial remand there is some comfort/luxury provided. They need to not wear the jail uniforms and not hard labour is assigned to them.

He took out the shiv sena and the very foolish UT with one sentence during the maharashtra fiasco.
Hard labor is after conviction onlee, if so pronounced in the sentence and in judicial custody he cannot be interrogated without the presence of his lawyers, where as in police custody he can be questioned without his lawyer being present.

Bhakra Nangal Dam on terror radar
Vijay Mohan
Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, November 17
The Bhakra Dam, a high-value national asset, now faces the grim prospect of a possible terrorist attack through underwater mode.
“Though there are no specific inputs on any possible attack, the threat perception exists and intelligence agencies have issued alerts over the dam being targeted through underwater means,” AB Agrawal, Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) chairman, said here today.
Sources in the security establishment confirmed that an assessment of underwater threat was the result of the recent arrest and interrogation of several terrorists, who had been active during the days of terrorism in Punjab and some of whom had been residing abroad for the past many years.
A senior BBMB functionary said consequent to the alerts, imported sonars had been installed at strategic places to detect and track any underwater movement, besides steel meshes being erected to prevent close access to the dam. In addition, the number of Himachal Pradesh Police personnel deployed on security at Bhakra has been doubled over the past few months.
The BBMB controls three dams in Himachal, Bhakra, Pong and Pandoh, and about 800 police personnel have been deployed for their security. Owing to its strategic nature, the threat perception for Bhakra is very high and alerts about the dam being a target of terrorist activity, including that by Kashmir-based terrorist groups, have been issued in the past.
Located on the Sutlej, the Bhakra has an installed capacity of about 1,500 MW and stores about 93 million cusecs of water. Damage to the dam would not only disrupt power generation, but also cause extensive damage to downstream parts of Himachal, large-scale floods in Punjab and effect water supply for domestic and irrigation purpose in the region.
The BBMB management had sought deployment of the Central Industrial Security Force to protect its dams, water channels and power houses. But state governments concerned where the establishments are located preferred deploying their own personnel as the costs involved were several times lower than that of requisitioning central forces.

Re: Internal Security Watch
Godhra police worried as number of visitors from Pakistan doubles.
A surge in the number of Pakistanis seeking visas to travel to Godhra has the local police worried. This year, 1,803 Pakistanis have so far visited the town, which was the site of the train burning that led to the 2002 Gujarat riots. That’s more than double the number (877) who came to Godhra last year on a temporary visa, and nearly 18 times the year before that (105).
The Panchmahal district police recently booked a constable, an agent, and a sponsor of a Pakistani national on the suspicion of forging documents to procure a visa. It is now investigating whether there is a larger racket, accounting for the increase in the number of Pakistanis visiting the town. “We are planning to seek the help of the central Intelligence Bureau,” Panchmahal SP Raghvendra Vatsa said. Police are also in touch with the Ministry of External Affairs to determine if there are more such cases of forgery.
Earlier this month, Godhra train burning convict Irfan Pada married a Pakistani girl, Maria, who was on a visit to Signal Falia. The 31-year-old, who is serving a life term, met and married Maria while out on bail after nine years in jail. Pada has applied for permanent residency for her.
While police are worried about the possibility of “anti-nationals” sneaking in, Godhra in fact has an old association with Karachi in Pakistan. Most of the visitors from Pakistan are residents of Godhra Colony in new Karachi, thus named because of the number of Muslims originally from Godhra who settled there after Partition.
Police claim to have tracked at least 42 cases of Pakistani Muslims from Vora and Ghanchi communities staying back in Godhra due to ongoing civil suits regarding their ancestral properties which, they believe, could be their ticket to a permanent citizenship if they manage to stay for seven years.
Among the Pakistani visitors from Godhra Colony is Jameel Ahmed, a 55-year-old two-wheeler mechanic who is on a month-long visit to Godhra to meet his relatives. He said he was drawn because of the “great difference between Pakistan and India”, especially the 24X7 power and water supply (Bloody freeloaders) as well as law and order. “In Karachi, it is risky to venture out after 7 pm. Here, we are outside till 3 am,” says Ahmed.
Mohammad Shakeel, a 33-year-old medicine dealer, hopes the Indian government will allow him to stay back. Shakeel talks of many changes for the better since he last visited seven years ago. “We are here on a month-long visa. The love and respect we get from both Hindus and Muslims here is overwhelming,” he says.
A sponsor of a Pakistani national has to fill in a certificate with own name and details of the guest, including his/her photograph, how long he/she will stay and the purpose of the visit. Once attested by a senior government officer, this certificate is sent back to the Pakistani national concerned, who has to then submit it while seeking a visa.
“We are trying to check if there is a racket involving forging of stamps and identity cards of gazetted officers to facilitate the visit of Pakistanis here. With the number of visitors increasing sharply, it would be difficult for even officials of the Indian High Commission in Islamabad to verify cases on an individual basis,” a senior police officer probing the matter said.
A surge in the number of Pakistanis seeking visas to travel to Godhra has the local police worried. This year, 1,803 Pakistanis have so far visited the town, which was the site of the train burning that led to the 2002 Gujarat riots. That’s more than double the number (877) who came to Godhra last year on a temporary visa, and nearly 18 times the year before that (105).
The Panchmahal district police recently booked a constable, an agent, and a sponsor of a Pakistani national on the suspicion of forging documents to procure a visa. It is now investigating whether there is a larger racket, accounting for the increase in the number of Pakistanis visiting the town. “We are planning to seek the help of the central Intelligence Bureau,” Panchmahal SP Raghvendra Vatsa said.

^^^ These people are entering Kaffir lands as a strategy. Their target is to stake claim to the land of infidels eventually. They know that Hindus are soft infidels with a huge land bank. Momins feel it is quite feasible to repeat the experiment of 1947, as Hindus have learned few lessons even after handing over 1/3rd of their territory to them. The way Hindus wink at mass infiltration of Bangladeshis has given them an inkling into the weakness of the Hindu mind.

A journalist facing trial under the Officials Secrets Act for allegedly procuring classified documents and uploading them on a news portal has been sent to jail by a Delhi court, which cancelled his bail granted earlier saying he was “intentionally delaying” the proceedings.Mathew Samuel, who worked with news portal tehelka.com, was sent to judicial custody till November 21 by special CBI judge J.P.S. Malik, who said there was no justification in releasing him on bail again.“From the conduct of the applicant/accused no.3 (Samuel), it is clear that he is intentionally delaying the proceedings. No justification to release accused Mathew Samuel on bail again. Application for bail moved by him is dismissed. Accused is taken into custody and remanded in judicial custody till November 21, 2014,” the court said.The court was recording the prosecution evidence in the case in which the CBI has filed charge sheet against Mr. Samuel and the then Tehelka editor (investigations), Aniruddh Bahal, two of the then Home Ministry officials Thomas Mathew and Neeraj Kumar, and Buffalo Networks, which owned the website, for alleged violation of the Official Secrets Act (OSA).The Delhi High Court had in May quashed charges against Mr. Kumar, Mr. Thomas, and Mr. Bahal. Mr. Samuel’s plea seeking quashing of the trial court order framing charges against him for allegedly hatching a criminal conspiracy with government officials to obtain secret papers in 2000 is pending before the High Court. The trial court has fixed November 21 for recording of statements of the prosecution witnesses in the case. The CBI had alleged that Mr. Kumar, Mr. Thomas, Mr. Bahal, and Mr. Samuel entered into a criminal conspiracy to obtain secret documents, which were exhibited on tehelka.com on October 9, 2000. The CBI had alleged that the website had put up a story “Are Dutch Innocent”, which contained information allegedly obtained from a secret file from the Home Minist

Unidentified assailant shot at Aurobindo Pharma's director K Nityananda Reddy; left AK-47 behind

Not at all good news for Telangana. This is clear act of Islamic fundoos who want to raise money for their activities. The KCR gang in order to appease MIM is going soft on radicals. If KCR does not mend his ways, I bet capital will flee from Telangana at a rapid rate than West Bengal.

Re: Internal Security Watch
What stops the police from forcing these people to leave India? As it is Pakistani citizens have a very stringent conditions imposed, one of them being regularly visiting local police stations at very short intervals. Make their stay a misery in India, so that they are "encouraged" to go back to Pakistan. As it is Godhra is a sensitive place and surprised that Gujarat police (and state government) are a bit relaxed on the whole thing.Vipul wrote:Police claim to have tracked at least 42 cases of Pakistani Muslims from Vora and Ghanchi communities staying back in Godhra due to ongoing civil suits regarding their ancestral properties which, they believe, could be their ticket to a permanent citizenship if they manage to stay for seven years.
BTW, are there any laws which can be just as simple as Pakistanis not allowed to stay in this area?. Or else time to make one and list out all communally sensitive areas where these folks just should NOT be allowed.
