  • Delhi man cured of Chikungunya after converting to Islam

    Delhi man cured of Chikungunya after converting to Islam

    NEW DELHI: In a miracle of sorts, a man Rajesh Jhunjhunwala was cured of Chikungunya when he decided to accept Islam – the religion of peace – and become a practicing Muslim. Rajesh was diagnosed with symptoms of the diseases this morning, but doctors found no such symptoms after his first afternoon prayer as a Muslim.

    “This is miracle, we have to accept,” Dr. Satyendra Sisodia of Mohalla Clinic in Rohini told Junta Ka Reporter, “We gave him some medicines in the morning, but medicines can’t show effects so soon. This indeed is a blessing from the almighty.”

    After accepting Islam, Rajesh has taken up the name “Rifat Javed” as he claimed that he got the idea of converting to Islam after reading tweets of a person of the same name.

    “That person publishes pamphlets for Aam Aadmi Party and tweets in support of AAP, and I was following him to troll him,” Rajesh said, “But this morning when I read his tweets on how beautiful it was to convert to Islam and why Indians should try it tout, I somehow didn’t feel like trolling him. I was already depressed because of the diagnosis showing Chikungunya symptoms.”

    “Some inner voice told me that maybe I got Chikungunya because I used to troll Rifat Javed too much. So I decided to atone for my sins by becoming a good Muslim like Rifat Javed. And lo and behold! I got cured within hours!” a visibly happy Rajesh-turned-Rifat said.

    The news of Chikungunya being cured due to conversion to Islam has spread like wildfire and sources tell us that many Delhi residents are now planning to become Muslim and change their names to Rifat Javed to escape the epidemic.

    While this has potential to keep the capital city safe, main opposition party BJP is threatening to bash up anyone becoming a Rifat Javed.

    “This is a rumor spread by AAP’s Mohalla Clinic to turn people into AAPtards,” a BJP worker claimed.

    But AAP has rejected such charges by biased BJP workers.

    “This is shameful. BJP bhakts just think about politics while we think about wellbeing of people. We will provide security to people becoming Rifat Javeds,” AAP spokesperson Ashutosh said.

  • 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.

  • Young man followed by Narendra Modi on Twitter struggling to get married

    Young man followed by Narendra Modi on Twitter struggling to get married

    NEW DELHI: Recently criticism over the kind of people Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been following on Twitter has been on rise, and it seems there is no end to this controversy.

    Latest reports suggest that Ankit Jain, a young man in his 20s, has been single and unmarried even though the Prime Minister has been following him for over a couple of years.

    Marriage agents say that there is nothing in Ankit that should keep him forever alone but some bad luck has been keeping him single.

    “He is a diamond trader and earns good. He is not bad looking as well. And he is generally accepted as a nice guy by people around him, so it’s really a mystery why he is single!” Manu Ram, a marriage bureau owner told Junta Ka Reporter.

    Now people are wondering if this is due to him being followed by Prime Minister, which might be bringing him bad luck. People whom Narendra Modi follows have been getting into controversies of late.

    “It also shows that all the promises made by Modi are jumla,” Rahul Kaushik, AAP convener from Chandni Chowk claimed, “If his fans can’t even get girls, how can the youth of this country get jobs?”

    “But bigger question is if PM Modi should be following such losers!” independent journalist Sagarika Ghose tweeted when the news spread like wildfire.

    Sources tell Junta Ka Reporter that Ankit had met the Prime Minister last year hoping that this will change his luck, but he is still unmarried and single.

    Earlier this week, he even uninstalled Tinder from his mobile, which shows that even Digital India is not working.

  • Singer Abhijeet accused of abusing good old lady who abuses only bad people

    Singer Abhijeet accused of abusing good old lady who abuses only bad people

    MUMBAI: Bollywood playback singer Abhijieet has been accused of abusing an old woman named Swati Chaturvedi, who abuses only bad people on Twitter.

    Abusing bad people and their family members is considered a natural reaction and even respected journalists like Rajdeep Sardesai have done it on Twitter. In fact, Rajdeep has even physically hit a bad man and abused him in the real world.

    Swati, who is in her 40s, was called “budhiya” by Abhijeet, which is an abusive and disrespectful way of addressing an old lady. Sources confirm that Swati prefers to be called a veteran journalist, and not a budhiya.

    Before joining Twitter, Swati used to work with Zee News and host a chat show that was watched by around 100 people regularly. On Twitter, Swati has been even more successful and is followed by thousands of people.

    She is known to abuse bad people on Twitter like these:

    Sources close to Abhijeet says that the singer thought that it was okay to abuse someone who abuses, but Indian laws don’t allow it. Friends also suggested Abhijeet to claim that his account was hacked, but the singer decided to stick to his tweets calling Swati a besharm budhiya (shameless old woman).

    Swati has complained about Abhijeet to Mumbai police about this harassment, and she is confident that she will get Abhijeet jailed for his abusive comments.

  • AAP’s internal committee gives clean chit to Shirish Kunder in plagiarism case

    AAP’s internal committee gives clean chit to Shirish Kunder in plagiarism case

    NEW DELHI: Respected filmmaker and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) member Shirish Kunder has been under attack from BJP supporters, who accuse him of copying a Nepalese short film Bob to make his own original short film Kriti.

    With organized and concerted attempts like mass reporting the YouTube link of Kriti, the BJP supporters were successful in getting the YouTube link of Kriti removed earlier today. To malign Kunder further, BJP supporters even made a fake Japanese movie poster to claim that Kriti’s poster was also copied:

    With some sections of media believing such charges, AAP decided to form an inquiry committee to look into the issue. The youth wing of AAP was asked by party supremo Arvind Kejriwal – who had watched and liked Kriti – to submit the report within a couple of hours.

    Junta Ka Reporter has learned that the committee has submitted its report and given a clean chit to Shirish Kunder. It has found that the two movies are not at all similar, and Kunder deserves all praise for the excellent short film that he has made.

    “Some scenes are very very similar and look carbon copy of each other but even AAP’s ‘aam aadmi’ slogan is exactly what Congress used to say; does it mean AAP copied Congress? Of course No!” the report explained why Kriti is not copied.

    “The plot and idea of Kriti and Bob are same, but this can’t be called plagiarism. Same illogical arguments were used to claim that Swaraj, book written by Kejriwal sir was plagiarized. But we all know that it was an original and revolutionary book,” the reporter further explained why it thinks Kriti is not a copy of Bob.

    Shirish Kunder has welcomed the clean chit and hoped that Google (company that owns YouTube) will now unblock his short film. AAP member and singer-musician Vishal Dadlani too has asked Google to unblock the movie, else the party will be forced to launch a worldwide agitation against the company.

  • Salman Khan lobbying to get a positive tweet on Sultan by Arvind Kejriwal?

    Salman Khan lobbying to get a positive tweet on Sultan by Arvind Kejriwal?

    MUMBAI: It appears that Salman Khan is not experiencing any achchhe din. His last movie Prem Ratan Dhan Payo flopped and his recent remarks about ‘feeling like a raped woman’ drew criticism from everyone. He has got notices from women commissions and a case also has been filed against him.

    Before these controversies hit him, his image had already taken a beating due to the hit-and-run case coming back to haunt him. Furthermore, his assumed proximity to BJP leader and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has been losing public support after becoming PM, has also caused him to lose some fan following and goodwill among the masses.

    In such a scenario, Salman Khan desperately needs an image makeover and public support as barely a week remains before his movie Sultan hits the theaters.

    Sources say that Salman has now turned his hope towards Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) founder and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, whose public support has been rising exponentially in recent past.

    People appreciated publicly by Kejriwal have performed well in public life and their tasks have been successful. Similarly, movies that Kejriwal have tweeted about have become hits on box-office, latest being Udta Punjab, whose success has been traced to Kejriwal’s tweets by trade analysts.

    Realizing that Arvind Kejriwal is the key to public support and success, sources reveal to Junta Ka Reporter that Salman Khan is desperately sending feelers to Arvind Kejriwal to get the Delhi Chief Minister to tweet appreciatively on Sultan.

    Arvind Kejriwal is known not to be vindictive and thus Salman is hoping that Kejriwal will pardon his proximity to Modi and help him in troubled times. According to sources, Salman has promised to mend his ways and work for people’s goodwill that will please Arvind Kejriwal.

    Sources say that Salman has called up Vishal Dadlani – an honest musician who is a vocal supporter of AAP and is close to Arvind Kejriwal – at least a dozen times in the last three days, pleading with him to request Arvind Kejriwal to tweet about Sultan. Dadlani has not promised anything but said that he will try his best.

    So will Arvind Kejriwal forgive Salman and help him overcome these troubled times? We will know on Eid.

  • AAP supporters getting raw deal in corporate appraisals by BJP supporting managers?

    AAP supporters getting raw deal in corporate appraisals by BJP supporting managers?

    MUMBAI: While the central BJP government under Narendra Modi is making working difficult for AAP government in Delhi, it now seems that not only the Delhi government, but even ordinary AAP workers are facing similar situations in their professional lives.

    This issue was raised by some alert readers of Junta Ka Reporter after we highlighted how Narendra Modi might have blocked attempts to nominate Arvind Kejriwal for Nobel Peace Prize. It seems that not just the Delhi Chief Minister, even ordinary AAP supporters are being denied recognition and awards for their hard work due to their political beliefs.

    This is the tweet that pointed to the disturbing trend in corporate India:

    After receiving the above tweet, we talked to many AAP supporters and volunteers and they confirmed that they were being ill treated and not allowed to work or progress in their professional careers by their bosses or colleagues who were BJP supporters.

    “I was given 15% increment in 2013, but my salary rise has never been more than 5% ever since I started supporting AAP and Arvind Kejriwal openly. I think my BJP supporting boss tracks my Facebook posts and WhatsApp forwards and he is giving negative remarks in performance appraisals,” said AAP volunteer Sunil Sharma (name changed to protect identity), who works in a marketing company.

    “BJP supporters are like Modi only. They can’t tolerate someone doing good work and hard work and they try to take revenge, just like Modi is taking revenge from citizens of Delhi,” Sunil added.

    Similar experiences of professional harassment and intimidation were shared by many AAP supporters and volunteers employed in different companies in different parts of the country. Almost all of them are being given a raw deal and their professional careers are being ruined by BJP supporters.

    AAP poster against Modi
    Story of every AAP supporter?

    “I was denied an onsite of 6 months in Germany and instead they sent a guy called Rahul Bhil who runs a pro-BJP twitter handle,” Shoheb Siddiqi (name changed again to protect identity), an IT engineer working in Hyderabad disclosed. “My boss is a Modi bhakt and he is out to destroy my career. He even removed me from a team where two good looking girls were there and has put me in a team of fellow bhakts. My life has become hell just because I support Arvind Kejriwal.”

    We talked to 47 respondents who identified themselves as AAP supporters or volunteers having a day job, and 41 of them confirmed that they were being discriminated or harassed by seniors or colleagues who were BJP supporters. All of them confirmed that they had not got good salary hikes or promotions or onsite opportunities in the last 4 years, ever since AAP was founded.

    Experts believe that this could be just the tip of the iceberg and we could be looking at a human tragedy of gigantic proportions that has not been reported by the media due to various reasons.

    “When Arvind Kejriwal talks about how Narendra Modi is not allowing him to work, he is mocked by the BJP supporters and biased media. This is all planned to intimidate AAP supporters – that we will mock you if you talk about harassment and discrimination. But it’s good that people are now speaking up. I congratulate Junta Ka Reporter for raising this very serious issue,” Abhay Chaubey, a neutral analyst who comes regularly on NDTV, argued.

    Experts further argue that most BJP-AAP relationships in the corporate world are similar to Modi-Kejriwal relationship in the political world.

    “Young liberal guys support AAP and they are in comparatively junior roles compared to old conservative guys who support BJP. So the BJP supporters enjoy higher authority and power in companies like Modi enjoys in the political set up. So the pain and persecution that Kejriwal is going through is also being experienced by his supporters. This is nothing but a human tragedy,” Abhay Chaubey explained.

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

    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.

  • Udta Punjab all set to cross 900 crore business due to Kejriwal’s tweet

    Udta Punjab all set to cross 900 crore business due to Kejriwal’s tweet

    MUMBAI: Bollywood movie Udta Punjab doesn’t have any special effects like Bahubali. It doesn’t even have a superstar like Aamir Khan, but it could become the highest grossing Hindi movie ever.

    Trade analysts say that the movie could break records of movies like Bahubali and P.K. and could do a business of 900 crore rupees by the next weekend i.e. by the end of 26th June 2016. Not only that, it could well become the only Bollywood movie to enter the 1000 crore club.

    While the movie’s story – which deals with corruption of Akali Dal and the drug problem not well highlighted by the Congress party – has to be praised for its success, analysts say that one of the reasons why the movie is doing so well is because Arvind Kejriwal endorsed it.

    The Delhi Chief Minister is very busy working for good governance in the National Capital Region of Delhi, but he took time out to watch the movie and tweeted this:

    Arvind Kejriwal watches very few movies and whenever he watches he tweets about them. People know that such a busy and honest man will only choose to watch and talk about those movies that are good, and hence Kejriwal’s tweets help as a box office stimulant.

    After super success of Udta Punjab, Bollywood producers will surely be making a beeline in front of Kejriwal’s office to get a word of appreciation!
