Glad to see Jats seeing through the charade of SP government. They defied orders to gather in large numbers for Mahapanchayat. Dainik bhaskar reported that 2 more people died there, unfortunately. Though I am unable to find other sources so hoping that it was not the case.

MEERUT: Villagers clashed with police on Sunday in Khera village here after defying prohibitory orders to hold a mahapanchayat against slapping of NSA on BJP MLA Sangeet Som in connection with the Muzaffarnagar violence.
One person was injured in the clashes and nearly 60 people have been arrested, police said. The mahapanchayat was convened to protest the slapping of National Security Act (NSA) against BJP MLA Sangeet Som, they said.
"One person was injured and 50-60 people have been arrested," Meerut divisional commissioner Manjit Singh said.

My reading of the situation in Western UP is one word - unprecedented and utterly shameless pandering to THE voting block. After the massacre in Muzaffarnagar where Mulayam government presided over butchering of one specific community while abetting and ignoring huge cache of arms and automatic weapons from other group, SP is royally effed up
Imagine the plight of villagers - women, young girls and children are now coming out en masse to demand security for themselves, fair treatment to their men folk and an end to shameless communal policing. Only Hindus have been slapped with NSA and folks who used AK47s and killed people like flies are roaming in SUVs, getting salutes. There are certain reports in Hindi media of plain-clothed men firing upon the crowd in yesterday's maha-panchayat. Who were these people and who authorized them to open fire directly at the crowd?
These wounds are not going to heal in many years. Farmers are not able to work in farms, some 'elements' randomly fire at them and disappear, some people get beaten up, police does not lodge FIR, no follow-up action is taken. Girls are not going to schools, cattels are starving, crops are drying in the secular republic of India. And this, gentlemen, means something more sinister is cooking in the minds of current ruling cabal. I however am amazed that this crooked party has gotten pliable officers to even beat and fire at hapless women and children. How are these guys able to sleep peacefully.
Sample this: a senior IPS officer recently beat 4 of his helpers to pulp - their crime? They refused to alert Burra Sahib in time about the august visit by SP leader who belonged to certain community. And we expect fairness from these criminals in uniform. All 4 people lodged complaints against SSP, don't know what happened later. Probably all IPS ganged up together to force them withdraw complaint
All in all, as lot of people are saying - Jat has become a Hindu for the first time!

Mahapanchayat near Sardhana yesterday was organized by thakurs ("thakur chaubisi"), now as it stands Sapa has antagonized thakurs in west UP as well. There were reports of a gurjar boy being stabbed in adjoining Shamli district. BJP MLA Hukum Singh is a gurjar as well. There is no let up in ongoing protests in jat villages in the region. There has to be a method in madness otherwise it is hard to believe that Mullahyum is that naive. This photo gives glimpse of what happened in Khera panchayat:

Anchal ji,
Unfair to single Jats as almost all of the castes will be becoming and feeling Hindu nationalist after a fairly longtime - the culprit is the divisive vote bank politics played by Congis and their system - along with their mandal minions in tow. People now know this are uniting against repression of their Hindu identity by the Sikular system.

But, is the SP so blind that they can't see what they are doing in the western UP. Pushed in a corner, even a cow will fight to get out. Why is the SP alienating Hindus in such a way. If they are hoping for polorisation. Then, they have to be aware that polorisation works both ways.
And Hindu's are a majority in most areas. Unless the census, shows some thing that we are un aware of.

IM now controlled by Al Qaeda - http://www.sunday-guardian.com/news/im- ... Qk.twitter
A highly placed source in an Indian intelligence agency said, "The duo made extensive use of codes in their conversations. Codes such as Ticket for arms and ammunition, Andar for India, Upar for Afghanistan, Chote for Riyaz and Bade for Ikbal were used." One such message sent by Yasin to Riyaz reads, "andar se upar bhej dete hain, ticket dilwa dijiyega." This means, over 35 to 40 youths picked up from parts like Darbhanga and Eastern UP are being sent to Afghanistan. Please train them.
Sources say that things have radically changed in the IM after it was adopted by Al Qaeda. "Now there is no dearth of funds for the organisation," hinted a highly placed IB official. As per the new arrangement, Tahsheen Akhtar, a native of Samastipur in Bihar and Mohammed Wakar, a Pakistani resident have been made the Indian chiefs of IM with the responsibility to carry out deadly attacks. These men were also responsible for the blasts in Varanasi, Hyderabad and Mumbai.
This is particularly important given Yasin Bhatkal's statement that Modi is the prime target.
If this report is true, IM may be being controlled by the same forces that are controlling the Jihadist cannibals in Syria.

Infact I think it is even more dangerous situation with this development, because, TSP cannot be held responsible anymore...even before this development, with the pretext of non-state-actors, ISI/TSP couldn't be held responsible for what ever the reasons be. Now TSP will pass it off as 'common terrorism problem of South-Asia' which it too is facing from TTP/al-Qaeda...in fact TSP would say that the price it is paying in the war against terrorism is even greater than India for being the front line state in the war against terrorism. And the world will swallow it hook line and sinker.
India stupefied by its inaction will face greater terrorism...now it cannot even hit TSP.

Their Hindu votebank is gone and they know it. They are just fighting to save what they can, i.e., the Muslim votebank. They want to stop it from migrating to the Congress. At election time, with crass appeals to caste, they probably believe that they can salvage some of the Yadav vote. But they know that the game is up if the Muslims vote for Congress. The purpose is to create a siege mentality among the Muslims, and making them believe that only SP can save them. This is one explanation. There is another possible explanation. Azam Khan is playing his own game, is no longer under the control of Mulayam/Akhilesh, and they do not know how to rein him in without ending up destroying their Muslim vote.

Need to be wary of the IB official's hint. So far IM was under ISI and thus untouchable. now its under Alq and is even more helpess. It could be a way of avoiding difficult questions.
If this was the lineage, then how come Congress party stalwarts were going hammer and tongs to defend the IM terrorists being picked up in Delhio etc. Didnt the IB infor the ruling party?
And as long as the govt sources don't have name its as good as informed rumors as any.
And look at the Hindi being used to communicate instead of urdu! Looks like psy-ops to me.
And Upar refers to Afghanistan is nice but most of Al Q including leadership as shown by the Abootobad raid are in TSP, ot in Afghanistan.

On the subject of Orissa.... Article about convictions for the murder of Lakshmanananda, somewhat hidden in the Hindu. This is the murder that sparked all that rioting in Orissa district 5 years ago. It's not clear why this guy was the target of Maoists, and was denounced by Christians as well. Apart from leading reconversion to Hinduism, what 'wrong' did he do?

Last updated on: October 01, 2013 17:49 IST
A French court recently sentenced Mohammad Niaz Abdul Rasheed, an Indian national, to eight years in prison for criminal conspiracy.
Rasheed, a resident of Trichy in Tamil Nadu, is a mechanical engineer. Intelligence agencies believe that he joined the Students Islamic Movement of India at the age of 21.
Rasheed decided to carry out terror strikes in France as he believed that French authorities were targeting Islam with steps like banning the burqa.
Rasheed is
part of the lone wolf terror club -- self-trained and self-motivated terrorists who launch attacks on their own.
He reportedly
spent a lot of time downloading jihadi literature and even possessed a manual on assembling a bomb. He was inspired by speeches made by Taliban leaders and often aired his views on social media. But he never belonged to any terror outfit.
Rasheed wanted to carry out a series of blasts in France and send a strong message to the authorities.
During his interactions on social media,
he tried to create a platform where several similarly disgruntled youth could come together. 'Don’t just think or speak, join the fight', he often exhorted these young men.
Indian security agencies have had Rasheed on their radar for some time. They had issued an alert after he left the country though they could not find any links with any terror organisation. The agencies were also trying to find a
possible money trail between Rasheed and his contacts in Kerala.
Rasheed had even recruited two French men for his terror mission and sent them to Pakistan to receive training. French authorities, with the help of inputs from Indian investigators, had finally arrested Rasheed at the Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris in May 2011.
They have since found that he was in touch with Umar Patek, the terrorist behind the Bali bombings, as he wanted to form a nucleus of jihadis. Rasheed, however, was never in touch with any terror operative in India.
Rasheed joins the list of
lone wolf terrorists such as Kafeel Ahmed and Dhiren Barot alias Abu Musa.
Kafeel Ahmed, who hailed from Bangalore, had carried out the suicidal Glasgow bombing. Dhiren Barot, who was born in Vadodara, was arrested for plotting a series of bombings at the New York Stock Exchange.
http://www.rediff.com/news/report/lone- ... 131001.htm
The above report is incorrect in its lone wolf theory. It clearly states the terrorist was ideologically motivated by Islam. He recruited new terrorists and sent them to TSP for training. So how is he a lone wolf? He is the frontline scout for the TSP terror apparatus.What TSP has done is internationalized and out sourced the terrorist/jihadi strike forces.
The mosques funded by KSA radicalize the disaffected people and the get training in TSP to commit terror.
Its self sustating terrorist apparatus and not any silly lone wolf or other predator mechanisms

Like mentioned earlier, now any/every islamic terror event must be connected to global-jihad factory for it is all a nice network. Depending on prevailing situation various Islamic nations play different roles in this supply-chain.
For Indian Muslims, local-networks act as recruiters, GCC as financier and often employer, various battle fields (including TSP) as training centers etc.

This rabbit hole goes deep no doubt.
How can one be a lone wolf (and that too one who daftly trawls and spews jihadi venom online) and yet somehow manage to make contact and stay in touch with bigfish like Umar Patek ?
Umar patek if one remembers was also found in Abbotabad and there was speculation that he was in touch with OsamaB himself while at Abbotabad. His wiki page also speaks about a report in dawn that he had two
French Islamists escorting him for his intended trip to North Waziristan.
So an IM man in France was in contact with an Al-Q big wig like Umar Patek and through him managed to point his sword to the top of the command upto Emir Osama . Interesting eye say.
Umar Patek - arrested in Abbotabad Jan 2011
Abdul Rasheed - arrested in Paris May 2011
Osama Bin Laden - killed in Abbotabad May 2nd 2011
Again an interesting chain of events clustering together.

For Akhilesh, riot-accused maulana is messenger of peace
When last week Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav played host to a group of Maulanas, specially flown from western Uttar Pradesh to Lucknow, he did not realise that the meeting would spark off another controversy because the esteemed guests included a prime accused in Muzaffarnagar riot.
The group of maulanas, numbering five, was part of the peace mission and was called a ‘Shaanti Doot’ (messenger of peace) by Samajwadi Party national president Mulayam Singh Yadav. They were entrusted with the task of brokering peace in the strifetorn western Uttar Pradesh and were asked to build bridges between Hindus and Muslims.
One of them was Maulana Nazir, against whom an FIR had been registered at Jansath police station on September 2, 2013 under section 147, 188, 344, 353, 153(A) of the IPC for instigating violence in Muzaffarnagar that led to riot. A senior Government Minister flew to Meerut to lay a red carpet for them while another Muslim Minister in Akhilesh Yadav’s Government received the lot in Lucknow.
“All of them are Muslim clerics. How can they be charged in rioting case?” Akhilesh Yadav asked a group of reporters. “There must be some mistake. We are using all means to restore peace in riot-torn areas,” he said.
Pictures, video clips and news reports suggest that Maulana Nazir had addressed the August 30 Mahapanchayat in which he had given the call of “karo ya maro”. He had also spoken at length about the rights of Muslims and how they are deprived of their right by members of majority community.
“Maulana Nazir had instigated people and was charged with spreading hatred through his speeches. Incidentally, the BJP legislators who have been slapped with the National Security Act (NSA) are also charged under similar acts. How can the Government spread a red carpet for a maulana and send BJP lawmakers to prison when both are facing similar charges?” asked BJP spokesman Vijay Bahadur Pathak.
The meeting has given the BJP an opportunity to go for the SP Government’s jugular. The party has been complaining of Government being biased against the BJP. The leaders said that the Government was taking action only against Hindus and had spared Muslims.
”While an accused like Maulana Nazir has been made the Shanti Doot, the State Government is yet to arrest two heavyweight accused – BSP MLA Kadir Rana and Congress leader Saidurzama against whom FIRs have been lodged. While the NSA has been invoked against two BJP MLAs Sangeet Singh Som and Suresh Rana,” BJP State president Laxmi Kant Bajpai said.
“This is not all. SP leader Rashid Siddiqui had given inflammatory speeches as well but the Government is yet to file an FIR against him,” he said.
Government records suggest that the NSA has been invoked against 19 people – 17 of them Hindus

JEM, In Chitoor, Andhra Pradesh, opeartion on going to capture auditor Ramesh's killers
Op to flush out alleged killers of BJP leader on at Chittoor
Putur is a town in Chittoor district. Same as Tirupati is a town also
Search party from TN police is involved.
A policeman of Tamil Nadu search party was injured in Andhra Pradesh’s Chittoor district during an exchange of fire with suspected terrorists allegedly involved in the murder of TN BJP general secretary V Ramesh.
Ramesh alias Auditor Ramesh was hacked to death by unidentified assailants near his house in Chennai on July 19. He was the second senior party functionary in Tamil Nadu to have been murdered in the 11 months.
According to media reports, the assailants are three in number and holed up in a house at Puttur town in Chittoor. The house had been surrounded by the police and the efforts were on to flush out the suspects, media reports said. A senior police officer in Hyderabad said the anti-terror wing of the Andhra Pradesh Police had been rushed to Puttur.
According initial reports, a police party from neighbouring Tamil Nadu was conducting a search operation following information about the presence of suspected terrorists in a house in Puttur town. As they neared the house, they were fired upon by the suspects hiding in the house.
