  • Sadhus to resume Kumbh as ‘farmers protest’ to get media support and escape Covid

    Sadhus to resume Kumbh as ‘farmers protest’ to get media support and escape Covid

    HARIDWAR: Sadhus belonging to various Akharas have decided to resume the Kumbh Mela even as the second wave of Coronavirus pandemic rages on. However, to escape criticism and media focus, Sadhus have decided to call the Kumbh Mela a ‘farmers protest’. They will gather at the river Ganga purportedly to protest against the recently passed farm bills.

    “We had voluntarily called of Kumbh as the second wave was rising, but we saw thousands of farmers arriving from Punjab at Delhi borders after that, and no one was bothered,” Mahant Ramdas, a sadhu belonging to Joona Akhara explained why Sadhus decided to cancel their old decision of calling off Kumbh early.

    Punjab has seen the UK variant of the Chinese virus, which spreads really fast and has also been reported to be deadlier than the one seen during the first wave last year. However, no one criticized thousands of people arriving from Punjab in Delhi, which is battling shortage of hospital beds and oxygen cylinders. Media pretended as if no crowd was building up near Delhi.

    Sadhus knew what to do next.

    “It is clear that any crowd that opposes Modi can not spread coronavirus, hence we have decided to turn Kumbh into an anti-Modi event, so that we get international media support and no one calls us super-spreaders,” Mahant Ramdas revealed.

    Kumbh will resume this Thursday and thousands of Sadhus will take part in it wearing turbans and carrying some agricultural tools like shovels and tractors. One tractor will be drowned in the Ganga river too. The said tractor will be branded ‘Modi ka tractor’ to attract unqualified support from rationalists and intellectuals.

    “A public relations expert named Sagarika Guha is helping us. She had suggested that we also offer Friday prayers at Kumbh on Eid, as it could get us even more support, but Akharas have decided to stick only to blasting Modi,” Mahant Ramdas told Junta Ka Reporter editor Mofat Javed over phone.

    It should be noted that Mr. Javed was wearing a double mask even while on the phone as Hindu Sadhus are known to be super-spreaders. We checked the Oxygen saturation levels of Mr. Javed after the call was over and he was doing fine, praise be to Allah.

  • Will molest the cow next time before killing it: Youth Congress

    Will molest the cow next time before killing it: Youth Congress

    KANNUR: After slaughtering a cow publicly to oppose the fascist agenda of cow slaughter, Youth Congress has decided to up the ante to combat communal forces and save democracy in India.

    Youth Congress, the intellectual arm of Congress party that takes members only below 50 years of age, had yesterday killed a cow in public view after Modi government passed orders banning sale of cattle for slaughter. Not only the outfit killed a cow publicly, they displayed the meat in open and had a beef party publicly.

    “We have to attack the root cause of the problem to fight fascism,” Kalluri Kalludi, treasurer of Youth Congress told Junta Ka Reporter, “The root cause is the cow. Hindus, who are 31% of Indian population, worship the animal, but want to impose their views on rest of the 69%. We can’t allow this!”

    Kalludi justified killing of the cow in public, saying the step will send a message to regressive Hindus that cow was not a god and it can be easily killed.

    “Once they are convinced that cow is not a god, they will stop worshiping it, and after that they will stop stopping others from killing it,” he explained.

    When this reporter pointed out that Rahul Gandhi, the ultimate youth leader in Congress, had condemned the incident, Kalludi said that it was a misinterpretation by the media.

    “Go read the tweet again; where does Rahul ji say that public killing of cow is condemned? You know, he is condemning the fact that we did not try enough. Merely killing the cow is not enough,” Kalludi claimed.

    Our reporter read the tweet, and it seems Kalludi was right:

    When asked what will he do next so that Rahul Gandhi is happy, Kalludi said that next time Youth Congress members will molest a cow before publicly killing it. They will also record a video of cow being molested and make it viral on social media with help from senior lawyers and journalists.

    “Hindus not only worship the animal, they consider it as their mother. Hindu sense of respect has to be attacked and weakened for strengthening secularism. We will molest the cow so that a strong message is sent that cow is not anyone’s mother or sister,” the Youth Congress treasurer said.

    The workers were searching Pakistani websites on how to molest a cow when reports last came in.

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

    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.

  • Colonel Sehrawat’s feud with his father not a family matter, clarifies AAP

    Colonel Sehrawat’s feud with his father not a family matter, clarifies AAP

    NEW DELHI: Aam Aadmi Party has clarified that the feud between Colonel Devinder Kumar Sehrawat, who is party MLA from Bijwasan constituency in Delhi assembly, and his father over some property is not a family matter and that the Colonel deserves strictest of punishment for having a dispute with his dad.

    “We are shocked that Modi’s police is not doing anything to arrest Devinder Sehrawat, who has been accused by his father of trying to hurt him,” AAP spokesman Ashutosh said in a press conference, “There is a deal with Narendar (Modi) and Devinder (Sehrawat) to attack Kejriwal.”

    AAP was responding to allegations that the party was making an issue of Sehrawat’s feud with his father, but was dismissing charges against its MLAs like Amanatullah Khan and Somnath Bharti as “family matter”.

    “You have to be a low IQ person to compare these cases,” Ashutosh said, “In both Amanatullah’s and Somnath’s case, it was a question of a man and woman, here it is a father and a son. This is like comparing apples with oranges.”

    “Trying to grab a property is a serious charge, this can’t be compared with family matters like trying to grab a woman,” the AAP spokesperson further said, “Anyone doing this is comparing women with property and this is an insult to women!”

    It should be noted that Colonel Sehrawat had recently claimed that the Aam Aadmi Party was not safe for women as many of its leaders had been exploiting women under pretext of politics and social service.

    On Twitter, he even hinted that even Arvind Kejriwal was not above the mark:

    The accusations by Sehrawat were denied by AAP and it presented proof that Sehrawat was a bad man who was not taking care of his father. In fact, his father had complained to the Delhi Chief Minister more than six months back, but Narendra Modi government did nothing in the case.

    When a biased reporter from Zee News asked how could Narendra Modi government be blamed if Colonel’s father had complained to the Delhi Chief Minister, Ashutosh asked him to leave the press conference and reminded everyone that L-G of Delhi was a Modi agent.

    “L-G checks all our files. Why did he not check the file against Sehrawat? This is a clear conspiracy of BJP against Arvind Kejriwal,” the former journalist argued.

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

    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.

  • Why target Bhagwant Mann for small clip when Lok Sabha channel shows hours of live video?

    Why target Bhagwant Mann for small clip when Lok Sabha channel shows hours of live video?

    NEW DELHI: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has taken a strong objection to criticism of its MP Bhagwant Mann, who had put a video of Parliament of India on social media, where one could see security check-posts and places inside the main building.

    Calling it cheap politics, the party has hit back asking what was so irresponsible in what Mann had done.

    “Showing visuals inside the parliament compromises national security? What kind of a joke is that?” party spokesman Ashutosh retorted when some journalists asked him if the party was going to take action against Mann for the act.

    “If putting just two minutes of video of parliament can compromise and jeopardize national security, then both Lok Sabha TV and Rajya Sabha TV should be immediately closed down. Both of them show video of places inside the parliament for hours!” the former journalist argued.

    Ashutosh said that when he was a journalist, he had visited parliament many times and he showed TV news reports of those visits.

    “Nobody called me or my videos a security threat. Now what has changed? The government! These are signs of undeclared emergency!” he said.

    Many other party leaders have also supported Bhagwant Mann and lauded him for bringing transparency into public life. Many experts too agree that what Mann did was not any threat to national security.

    “People can watch roads leading to the parliament on Google Maps and Lok Sabha TV shows visuals from inside the parliament. So what’s the big deal? This is sensationalism at its worst and the media should avoid targeting Mann,” neutral analyst Abhay Kumar Dubey told Junta Ka Reporter.

    AAP founder Arvind Kejriwal too has come out in support of his MP and claimed that perhaps Modi was scared that the video of Mann could have recorded video of him and Sonia Gandhi talking secretly inside the parliament.

    “First he banned me from keeping my mobile phone while meeting him as he feared that I will make a sting video, and now he is angry with Mann. Modi is coward, aur sab mile huye hain,” he later tweeted.

  • Narendra Modi refused to promote Irrfan Khan’s movie because of his religion?

    Narendra Modi refused to promote Irrfan Khan’s movie because of his religion?

    NEW DELHI: Bollywood actor Irrfan Khan these days is busy promoting his upcoming film Madaari. As part of the promotions, he had met some political leaders like Lalu Prasad Yadav earlier. Later on Twitter, he asked Arvind Kejriwal, Rahul Gandhi, and Narendra Modi to meet him and help him in promoting his movie.

    But while Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi agreed to meet him and promote his movie, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was non-committal. Both Arvind Kejriwal and Rahul Gandhi asked Irrfan Khan to meet them in person, while the office of the Prime Minister asked the actor to send a letter.

    The Prime Minister’s Office claimed that Narendra Modi was busy with the upcoming monsoon session so an immediate meeting was not possible. This was in stark contrast with request for a meeting being accepted immediately by the Delhi Chief Minister.

    Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) immediately pointed out this difference and claimed that this was a case of religious discrimination by the Prime Minister.

    “Such behavior by the Prime Minister is shameful and raises questions on his commitment to secularism,” AAP leader Ashutosh said. “When a very busy and hard working man like Arvind Kejriwal can take time out to meet a Muslim actor, why is Modi not doing the same?”

    Lalu Yadav and Irrfan Khan
    Lalu Yadav, who is known for his secularism and for his friendship with Arvind Kejriwal, was among the first one who had agreed to promote Irrfan Khan’s movie.

    When asked if it was the job of a Chief Minister to promote a movie, Ashutosh said that the job of a Chief Minister was to take care of everyone, which included taking care of actors and movie goers.

    “Questioning the judgment and wisdom of Arvind Kejriwal is like questioning the beauty of Taj Mahal,” Ashutosh said. “Arvind Kejriwal is an expert on arts, and he understands movies, unlike Modi who can’t understand any art form.”

    Many experts too agree that the response by the Prime Minister’s Office was not helpful in maintaining the secular fabric of India.

    “When there are communal tensions in the country due to killings of innocent Muslims in Kashmir, Narendra Modi shouldn’t have rejected the request of a Muslim. It will negatively impact communal harmony in the country,” neutral analyst Abhay Kumar Dubey said.

    BJP refused to react when Junta Ka Reporter asked its leaders if Narendra Modi’s refusal to meet Irrfan Khan was due to the Bollywood actor’s religion. Their silence has only given strength to such rumors and it seems that the ruling party has not dropped its communal agenda from governance.

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

    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.

  • Modi govt denying visa to US citizens wanting to visit Mohalla Clinics of AAP govt

    Modi govt denying visa to US citizens wanting to visit Mohalla Clinics of AAP govt

    NEW DELHI: In yet another example of vindictive politics being played by the Modi government to deny the state government of Delhi led by Arvind Kejriwal credit for its good deeds, it has now come to light that the center has been denying visa to those US citizens who wanted to visit Delhi for Mohalla Clinics.

    Mohalla Clinics were launched by the AAP government of Delhi to provide affordable and world class medical facilities to people, for free. The initiative has won laurels and praise all across the world and has inspired by many foreigners to come to Delhi for medical tourism.

    However, sources in the Indian embassy in the United States of America tell Junta Ka Reporter that the Indian government has been denying visa to all those US citizens who mention “medical treatment at world class Mohalla Clinic” as the purpose of visit in their visa application.

    “We have got confirmed reports that officials in the Indian embassy have been asked to reject visa of those wanting to visit Delhi for Mohalla Clinics. Modi government is worried that if a lot of US citizens visit the clinics, Arvind Kejriwal’s government will become even more popular and the chances of AAP winning 2019 general elections will become even stronger,” an embassy employee told us on conditions of anonymity.

    A quick search on Twitter, Facebook and Quora confirms that a huge number of US citizens are interested in knowing more about Mohalla Clinics and visiting them to cure their ailments, all of which happens absolutely for free at Mohalla Clinics.

    “I pray to god that I get a chance to visit India and get treated at Mohalla Clinic. This sounds better than Obamacare,” Robert Vincent, a citizen of New York had tweeted in May last year.

    “Can I register for treatment at Mohalla Clinic in New Delhi while residing at New Jersey?” was a Quora question put up by Sean Sanders, who is suffering from blood cancer and sees AAP government’s initiative as only hope.

    All these tweets, status updates, and questions are at least 10 months old and the subsequent posts by the users show that these people in need are yet to visit Delhi for treatment. It proves that none of them have been granted visa by the government of India.

    This step by the government has been criticized by activists and experts. “More than hurting Kejriwal, this gives bad name to India. What is Modi government smoking?” neutral commentator Abhay Kumar Dubey said.

    After Junta Ka Reporter broke the news, Aam Aadmi Party has condemned this inhuman and cheap behavior by the Modi government. “Entire Modi government is coward and psychopath,” Delhi’s Heath Minister Satyendar Jain said.

    Mr. Jain revealed that because of such behavior by the central government, he has appointed his daughter to head the Molalla Clinic initiative so that no person in need is denied good health.

    “My daughter is an expert of Twitter, Facebook and Quora, and she can track all such requests and help people. It will also help Mohalla Clinics to go international. If the central government doesn’t give visa, Kejriwal government will issue,” the Health Minister announced.

  • Arvind Kejriwal’s image magically appears on wall of Gujarati farmer’s house

    Arvind Kejriwal’s image magically appears on wall of Gujarati farmer’s house

    MEHSANA: In a strange incident that has caught the imagination of entire Gujarat, a farmer in Bakarpur village in Visnagar here today claimed that an image of AAP founder Arvind Kejriwal had magically appeared on his house wall this morning.

    The farmer, 53 years old Bharanjibhai Patel, woke up at 6 AM in the morning today and went outside his house to feed his cows. He saw that all his three cows were looking at the same spot and not mooing. He followed the line of sight of his cows and was surprised to see a sketch of Kejriwal on the outside wall of his house.

    “I thought that maybe my neighbor Ritardbhai Unjhawala, who is a diehard supporter of Arvind Kejriwal, had drawn the sketch, but when I confronted him, he denied it. No one in the village had seen anyone drawing anything on my wall, so slowly I realized that this was a magical appearance,” Bharanjibhai Patel said.

    The fact that the cows were also looking at the image of Arvind Kejriwal has convinced the villagers that this was a divine sign and not any prank by anyone in the village.

    After the news spread in the afternoon, people from nearby villages and other parts of Gujarat started flocking Bakarpur village, and the house of Bharanjibhai became a virtual tourist place. Some people were seen praying to the image while some youngsters were seen clicking selfies with Kejriwal’s image.

    A team of scientists from ISRO in Ahmedabad had left for Visnagar to investigate the incident, but local villagers are convinced that it was a miracle.

    “Kejriwal is the future. Our entire village will definitely vote for AAP,” a resident of Bakarpur told Junta Ka Reporter. Bharanjibhai Patel, who is reported to have voted BJP in the last elections, also says that now he will be voting for AAP in the next year’s assembly elections.

    It should be noted that Visnagar is the taluka where BJP leader Narendra Modi was born and had grown up. Analysts believe that it was not a coincidence that Arvind Kejriwal’s image appeared at a village in Visnagar.

    “This confirms that Modi is all set to lose at his home state. Kejriwal is all set to replace Modi,” neutral analyst Abhay Kumar Dubey said.

    Abhay Kumar Dubey also pointed out that Arvind Kejriwal’s image had appeared on the wall outside the house and not inside; it proved that Kejriwal respected privacy of people and was a responsible leader.

    While neutral analysts and local villagers insist that the image had appeared miraculously, local BJP is insisting that it was a scam and a stunt carried out by Ritardbhai Unjhawala.

    BJP supporters are reportedly pressuring Bharanjibhai Patel to file a police case against Ritardbhai Unjhawala for defacement of private property, but a changed Bharanjibhai, now an AAP supporter, has refused to do so.
