Pakistan threatens to cut diplomatic ties with India if CBI raids continue on NDTV

NEW DELHI: In a major blow to the Narendra Modi government, highly neutral and independent news broadcaster NDTV has started receiving international support even from sovereign republics over the issue of CBI raids. Among the first countries to speak up against this attack on press freedom is the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, which has issued a statement in support of NDTV.

“The attempt by the government of India to supress free and neutral voices like NDTV worries our nation,” the statement released by Pakistan read, “The attack on innocent NDTV is in line with attacks on innocent Kashmiris and shows how India doesn’t value individual freedom and liberty.”

Earlier, NDTV had received massive support from international media, from former employees and associates of the company, and from Arvind Kejriwal over CBI raids against channel founders Prannoy Roy and his wife Radhika Roy.

The strongly worded statement by Pakistan has claimed that the CBI raids against NDTV founders were indicative of the trend that Hindu extremists were taking policy decisions, a trend that will destroy communal harmony in South Asia.

Apart from strong condemnation, Pakistan also warned that it will cut off all diplomatic ties with India if the probe against NDTV’s alleged financial fraud was not scrapped. It further said that it will start lobbying with China and USA to put sanctions on India for this attack on press freedom.

“India will be internationally isolated very soon. We would also refuse to play cricket with India and no Indian player will be allowed in PSL (Pakistan Super League),” warned Basit Ali, Pakistani High Commissioner to India talking exclusively to Junta Ka Reporter founder-editor Mofat Javed at an iftar party.

The support from Pakistan is expected to be a big shot in arm for NDTV as Modi government is very careful and sensitive about international relations. Sources in the government say that Narendra Modi had already sent emails to US President Donald Trump requesting not to impose any sanctions without hearing India’s case.

International experts too agree that this move by Pakistan has put the Narendra Modi government under tremendous pressure.

“Pakistan’s image in the international community is that of a responsible republic and a strong condemnation by the country will have adverse impacts on India. We have already seen international media supporting NDTV, and international media’s opinions are the one that drive international relations,” Sadanand Dhume, a neutral expert told Junta Ka Reporter.

NDTV has not officially reacted but sources say that the channel welcomes all support that strengthens press freedom in India and everywhere in the world.

Manish Sisodia seen sad and concerned for Delhi while taking selfie in Brazil

SAO PAULO, BRAZIL: It is slowly becoming clear that Aam Aadmi Party leaders and ministers in Delhi cabinet are helping people of Delhi even though they are not physically present in Delhi.

A day after it was known that Health Minister Satyender Jain was finding herbs in Goa to cure Dengue, it has now been discovered that even Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia has been thinking about people of Delhi while being in Brazil.

On Wednesday, the party released a selfie that was taken by Sisodia while he was moving around in Brazil. Sisodia is seen sad and is not even smiling, though he is seen to be present at a high point somewhere in Brazil.

“People get excited even when they are on a terrace and taking a selfie with three or four buildings in the background. Here Manish was standing at the top of a mountain and yet he was not showing any excitement. Why? Because he was concerned for people of Delhi!” AAP leader Ashutosh said.

“Go to Google and search for Modi selfies. Modi is smiling in all of them. Does media have the guts to question Modi?” Ashutosh further argued as he distributed copies of Sisodia’s selfie to journalists.

Later on in the press conference, Ashutosh started crying over people dying due to Dengue and Chikungunya. He left the press conference mid way, after which Dilip Pandey took charge.

“This is the level of humanity in our leaders. Ashutosh is crying while thousands of miles away Sisodia is also sad. What about Modiji? Where is he? Where is LG? Where is MCD? Have you seen them crying or sad?” Pandey posed.

The counter by AAP has left BJP dumbfounded. The party failed to produce a single selfie where Prime Minister Narendra Modi was seen sad and worried for India.

“They might claim that Modi is not sad because ‘achchhe din’ are here. But that will be a lie. AAP cares for people while BJP cares only about selfies,” neutral journalist Abhay Kumar Dubey told Junta Ka Reporter.

Hafiz Saeed apologizes for leaving out Kejriwal while praising Barkha and Congress

ISLAMABAD: Hafiz Saeed, the spiritual leader of Pakistan and head of news agency Jamat-ul-Dawa, has apologized for not praising AAP leader and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in a TV interview, where he had praised NDTV journalist Barkha Dutt and leaders of the Congress party of India.

In the interview, Saeed had attacked the government of India led by Narendra Modi and people like Arnab Goswami, who keep blaming Pakistan for terrorism and violence in India. Hafiz Saeed said that some Congress leaders and Barkha Dutt were doing good work as they understood the Pakistani point of view.

However, there was huge outrage in Pakistan over this statement, and protests were carried out against Hafiz Saeed for the first time in the largely peaceful country. People were angry that Saeed had not bothered to praise someone like Arvind Kejriwal, who was doing better work than Barkha Dutt or Congress leaders.

“Our main enemy is Modi, and Modi is scared of Arvind Kejriwal. This proves that our main friend is Arvind Kejriwal. It’s a shame that someone as educated and senior like Hafiz Saeed failed to recognize this simple fact,” Amanatullah Khan, one of the protestors from Karachi told Junta Ka Reporter.

“Yes, Barkha and congress leaders are doing good work, but the best work is being done by Arvind Kejriwal. He is exposing Modi for everything. Disappointed that Hafiz sahib didn’t mention him in his interview,” another Pakistani fan and supporter of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) said.

Protests were held in many cities across Pakistan, where people demanded Hafiz Saeed to come clean on his intentions and explain why he left out Arvind Kejriwal from the list of people doing good work in India.

Sources confirm that not only ordinary Pakistanis, many defense experts, army officials, and ISI operatives too condemned Hafiz Saeed for failing to praise Kejriwal, who has been leading a relentless and honest fight against a violent and communal Narendra Modi.

Following this widespread criticism, Hafiz Saeed finally issued a statement this afternoon where he apologized for this error of judgment.

“I am sorry. I didn’t mean to belittle what Kejriwal Janaab is doing. He is doing very good work. Proud of you Arvind!” Hafiz Saeed tweeted, after which protestors withdrew from the streets.

Delhi people will also resist any Turkey style coup if L-G tries it, AAP warns

NEW DELHI: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has lauded the attempts of the citizens of Turkey, who resisted attempts of the Army to overthrow a civilian government in their country. Party has said that the passion of Turkish people remind them of the passion of Delhi people, who had overwhelmingly voted for AAP just like Turkish people had voted for Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

“Army kept harassing Erdoğan, but Erdoğan kept working for the people of Turkey. This won hearts of the aam aadmi of Turkey, who were willing to sacrifice their lives for Erdoğan. This is so similar to relationship between Narendra Modi and Arvind Kejriwal,” AAP leader Ashish Khetan claimed.

“Narendra Modi and L-G of Delhi are like the Turkish Army while Arvind Kejriwal is like Recep Tayyip Erdoğan,” Khetan elaborated so that everyone in the party and press conference understood the meaning, and he is not forced to apologize again for a wrong comparison. Earlier Khetan had ended up comparing Guru Granth Sahib with AAP’s manifesto.

Welcoming the development in Turkey that could have overthrown the pro-Islamic government, AAP said that this should act as a warning to the anti-Islamic forces led by Narendra Modi back home.

“If Modi, through his agent L-G, tries to overthrow the democratically elected Kejriwal government, millions of Delhi citizens will come out in roads in support of Kejriwal and thwart such fascist attempts,” AAP leader Ashutosh issued the warning.

AAP pointed out how President Erdoğan and his party used social media to exhort and gather citizens to fight the army, and said that AAP will similarly use its social media power to defeat any possible coup against the Kejriwal government.

“One Ankit Lal can take care of entire battalion marching on the orders of L-G,” Ashutosh claimed.

The warning by AAP has been rejected by BJP as being childish and facetious, but experts think that the incidents of Turkey are a fair warning to Narendra Modi.

“It shows the power of the people, and prepare are with Kejriwal,” neutral analyst Abhay Kumar Dubey said.

US congress invites Arvind Kejriwal for a guest lecture, L-G blocks invite

WASHINGTON: The US congress, which is like the parliament of India, has decided to invite anti-corruption crusader and founder of Aam Aadmi Paty (AAP), Arvind Kejriwal to address a joint session of the house and the senate.

Sources say that the US congressmen were not too happy with the speech delivered by Prime Minister Narendra Modi last month and wanted someone “more knowledgeable” and someone with more liberal credentials to address them.

“Those clapping and standing ovation after Modi’s speech that you witnessed on TV were all fake and staged. Many congressmen later conceded in private that the speech was not good and they wanted a better Indian leader to come over,” a source in US revealed to Junta Ka Reporter.

Sources confirm that a formal invite to this effect has been prepared and the US ambassador to India is expected to deliver it to the Delhi secretariat next week.

However, sources say that the Lieutenant-General (L-G) of Delhi, Najeeb Jung could block this invite on technical grounds and stop Arvind Kejriwal from addressing the US congress.

“L-G could raise issues like the post of a Chief Minister is not fit to indulge in acts that are reserved for national heads of governments. This could be flagged as violation of international protocol,” an officer working in the L-G’s office revealed on conditions of anonymity.

“Kejriwal addressing US congress and getting better reviews than Modi would have been big blow to Modi, so L-G has been asked to block this,” the officer claimed.

This news has come close to the expose by Junta Ka Reporter where Narendra Modi was reported to have blocked Nobel Peace Prize for Arvind Kejriwal. Analysts claim that these incidents prove that Narendra Modi is worried about his falling popularity and considers Arvind Kejriwal as his main challenger.

“Kejriwal might miss a few prizes and opportunities to address international gatherings, but he will benefit immensely at the domestic level,” neutral analyst and commentator Abhay Kumar Dubey said, “Frankly Kejriwal has nothing to worry as he will receive these prizes and address such gatherings once he wins the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. Till then, such petty politics from Modi is expected to continue.”

While AAP has not yet reacted to the development, the news has once again raised concerns if the L-G of Delhi is acting as an agent of the BJP and Narendra Modi.

AAP leader claims credit for exposing corruption of Lionel Messi

BUENOS AIRES: After a court in Barcelona found footballer Lionel Messi guilty of tax fraud and sentenced him and his father to 21 months in jail, reports about how the footballer was nailed are coming in from various parts of the world.

While most people believe that the footballer was nailed due to the expose carried out by a group of investigative journalists who published Panama Papers, it has now come to light that a political leader in Argentina, where Messi was born and grew up, was responsible for exposing Messi.

Anjolina Dominia, a local leader of AAP (Argentina Autonomist Party) has claimed credit for bringing out corruption of Messi long before the journalists found out his shell companies and bank accounts in Belize and Uruguay.

Ms. Dominia, who is the head of Rosario unit of AAP, claims that she has known Messi from his school days and she suspected him of fraud ever since.

“I knew he was a fraud when the whole world was applauding him for his sporting achievements. His real talent is not sleight of feet, but sleight of hand,” Anjolina Dominia claimed.

Ms. Dominia had called a press conference immediately after Messi was sentenced by the court and she presented various documents to back her claim of exposing Messi’s corruption and malpractices.

Among the documents flashed in the press conference was an attendance register of the school that Messi attended. Anjolina Dominia claimed that entire record in the attendance register was fudged by Messi, who bunked classes to play football.

Ms. Dominia further announced two bank account numbers, which she claimed were Swiss bank account numbers of Messi and his father. “5090160983 and 5090160984, HSBC Bank,” she announced, reading from a chit of paper that she held out.

After his claim, AAP supporters and workers in Argentina congratulated each other for the achievements of Anjolina Dominia and trended hashtags on Twitter in her support.

UNESCO declares Islam as the most peaceful religion of the world

PARIS: In a major development that should silence critics of Islam who have been blaming it for terrorism, UNESCO has declared that Islam is the most peaceful religion of the world.

The United Nations body released a statement earlier today that revealed that UNESCO had partnered with International Peace Foundation six months back to study all religions of the world and find out which was most peaceful amongst all.

“After six months of rigorous study and analysis, we have concluded that Islam is the most peaceful religion,” Robert McGee, head of comparative studies wing of International Peace Foundation declared in a press conference that was attended by UNESCO officials too.

When asked about the terror attacks being carried out in the name of Islam, including the recent ones in Dhaka and Baghdad, the UNESCO official denied that it had anything to do with Islam.

“Terror has no religion,” he said, “Islam means peace.”

To document this official recognition, UNESCO will issue certificates to interested Muslim bodies, which can choose to display them at various places like madarsas, Islamic study centers, mosques, halal stores, slaughterhouses, etc.

Junta Ka Reporter was also given a copy of certificate so that we can display the same to our readers. A copy has also been put in the office of our founder Mr. Mofat Javed.

A copy of the certificate issued by UNESCO.

“Right Wing organizations should stop maligning Islam and Muslims at least after this certificate from UNESCO,” our founder editor Mofat Javed hoped.

The certificate and announcement from UNESCO has been welcomed by world leaders and religious leaders across the world. Dalai Lama is reported to have asked other religions to learn from Islam and try to be as nonviolent and compassionate as the religion of peace.

However, some Muslim scholars have said that the act of UNESCO was not needed as Islam was already the best and final religion, and a certificate to the same amounts to trivializing the issue as it states the obvious.

US group of dog lovers to felicitate AAP leader Ashutosh for loving Mogu

STAMFORD, USA: Respected TV journalist turned AAP leader Ashutosh has been awarded for the fatherly love he has been showing to his pet dogs Mogu and Chhotu. Those who follow Ashutosh on Twitter know about this love, but now this fact is being known world over.

A group of dog lovers known as CCC (Canine Community of Connecticut) has decided to honor Aashutosh in a public function and given him an award of OCD (Overseas Canine Devotee) to recognize his love for his pet dogs.

A representative of CCC told Junta Ka Reporter that Ashutosh had beaten around 100 contestants to win the OCD title. These include dog lovers from counties like Iceland and Germany to those in Thailand and Mongolia.

“Ashutosh was the best among all candidates. He had allowed his dogs to lick him and had shared biscuits in breakfast. Such love is rare these days,” said Thomas Manning, the President of CCC.

It is said that Ashutosh was very angry and depressed during his journalistic days when he was slapped by late BSP leader Kanshi Ram. His own friends used to laugh at him but a couple of stray dogs showed a lot of love to him during those days.

Impressed with this selfless love given by dogs, Ashutosh decided to devote his life for betterment of dogs ever since, sources close to the former journalist reveal. Ashutosh later joined AAP to continue the mission.

He has often tweeted about Mogu and Chhotu and posted their pictures on Twitter. Mogu is considered to be his favorite though Chhotu is also loved equally by him.

If Ashutosh accepts the OCD title by CCC, he could be traveling to the USA in August to accept the award. It is not clear if Mogu and Chhotu too will be traveling with him.

After Brexit, British voters wish they had a responsible leader like Arvind Kejriwal

LONDON: In a referendum, the citizens of United Kingdom (UK) have voted in favor of leaving the European Union (EU). The numbers of those favoring leaving the EU were only a few percentages more than the number wanting to remain in the EU.

A lot of liberal and intellectual people have said that Brexit i.e. UK leaving the EU was a wrong choice and the better thing to do would have been to remain in EU. This has left many citizens feeling bad that just a few percentages caused a bad decision in the referendum.

Latest reports suggest that a lot of British citizens now wish that they had a leader like Arvind Kejriwal who could have made people go for the choice that liberal and intellectual people preferred.

“Only someone like Kejriwal has the power to convince the common man about intellectual issues,” Bob Brendan, a resident of South London told this reporter on phone. “We British people now wish we had a leader like Arvind Kejriwal.”

It should be noted that Arvind Kejriwal had got hugely popular support in Delhi assembly elections last year, winning 67 out of 70 seats and getting almost 55% of the votes. British citizens now want a similar result in favor of remaining in EU.

Perhaps it’s right time for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to register itself as a British political party and fight the next elections?

China says it will support India in NSG if Kejriwal becomes PM

BEIJING: The Chinese media is reporting that the Government of China will not support India’s bid to gain membership of NSG (Nuclear Supplier’s Group) but it may do so in future. The change in China’s approach towards India is dependent upon change in Indian leadership, reports say.

“Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been trying to show that he’s friendly with Chinese President Xi Jinping, but the truth is that the Paramount Leader is not impressed with the Indian PM,” Chinese newspaper China Daily Times quoted an expert in a report published yesterday.

China is lobbying with other nations to vote against India’s bid to gain entry in NSG as the current Chinese leadership sees Narendra Modi as an unreliable leader, but the Chinese top leadership is reported to be impressed with Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

The working and ideology of Kejriwal has impressed not only the experts in China but the Communist Party too, which has praised the Delhi Chief Minister for its pro-people policies.

“On his one of the earlier official tours of India, Xi Jinping wanted to meet Mr. Kejriwal, but Modi cunningly shifted the venue to meeting to Ahmedabad instead of New Delhi. Such incidents have only weakened the relationship between India and China,” China Daily Times has claimed.

Chinese media is confident that relationship between China and India will improve a lot if and when Arvind Kejriwal becomes the Prime Minister of India.

“From the current atmosphere of hostility and mistrust, we can see a climate of friendship, trust, respect and cooperation growing between the two nations if there is a favorable regime change in India,” Lua Jianqing, the expert in China Daily Times said.

“Yes, it includes China’s support to India for gaining entry into NSG and for a permanent seat in UNSC,” he added when the reporter asked him.
