Yogmaya Temple, Delhi - Ink and colours on paper (1843)

[From 'Reminiscences of Imperial Delhi’, an album consisting of 89 folios containing approximately 130 paintings of views of the Mughal and pre-Mughal monuments of Delhi, as well as other contemporary material, with an accompanying manuscript text written by Sir Thomas Theophilus Metcalfe (1795-1853), the Governor-General’s Agent at the imperial court. Acquired with the assistance of the Heritage Lottery Fund and of the National Art-Collections Fund.]

[The shrine of Jog Maya near the Qutb Minar. Built during the reign of Akbar II (r.1806-37) at the site of an ancient temple, the Jogmaya temple is one of the most important Hindu shrines in the city, but no trace of the original survives.]

The Shrine of Jog (‘Worship’) Maya (‘Wealth, also a name for Luchmee the goddess of wealth’) at the Kootoob dedicated to Devee an Hindoo goddess is said to have been from time immemorial the site of idolatrous worship. The two temples represented were built, the one by Rana (‘King- Chief’) Peertee or Pritvy Raj (‘Peertee or Pritvy Raj: Lord of the Earth’), and the other by his chief almoner. Rana Peertee called also Rae (‘King’) Pittorah, the latter a corruption without any meaning, was the King of Ajmere and Indra (‘God of Elements’) Put (‘Town or City’) the ancient Hindoo city of Dehly, the name being derived from Delu or Dehlu, the chief Zumundar or land proprietor of the place.

It was in Pittorah’s Reign that the Afghan Emperor Shahabooddeen (‘Strength of the Fait’) Ghoree (‘Name of Family or Dynasty’) (vide page 74 [f. 72v]) invaded India. In his first expedition A.D. 1186, he took possession of Lahore. He next turned his arms against the Hindoo Princes of Hindoostan, but was defeated in his first attempt by Rae Pittorah in A.D. 1191 at Telowree, one march from Kurnaul: but in 1193 he again returned with and immense army. Pittorah was in his turn defeated and being taken prisoner in the pursuit was put to death in cold blood.

Since the introduction of the British Rule, the shrine has been much enlarged and beautified by the Hindoo nobility of Dehly. It is held in much repute by idolaters and at annual periods is visited from afar by thousands of misguided devotees who liberally according to their several means present offerings to the Goddess and make vows of future pecuniary sacrifice on the fulfilment of their hopes or prayers.

List of 10 women said to have slept with 'Mahatma' Gandhi in his bed

Above: Gandhi with six-year-old Indira Gandhi during his 21-day fast in Delhi in 1924 (Source: Express Archive)

Nicholas F. Gier, Professor Emeritus, University of Idaho

1. Sushila Nayar was only 15 when she came to the Sabarmati Ashram and then became Gandhi's intimate companion, with some periods of alienation and remove, for the rest of his life. Gandhi claimed that Nayar was a natural brahmachari, having observed it from childhood. They bathed together and even used the same bath water, but Gandhi assured everyone that he kept his "eyes tightly shut."

2. Lilavati Asar, associated with Gandhi from 1926-1948, slept in his bed and gave him "service," which meant bathing and massaging.

3. Sharada Parnerkar slept "close" to Gandhi and rendered "service." She was very ill in October, 1940, and Gandhi gave her regular enemas.

4. Amtul Salaam, whom Gandhi called his "crazy daughter," was a Punjabi from Patiala. She was also a bedmate and masseuse. Gandhi once wrote about the joy he gave Salaam when she received a massage from him.

5. Prabhavati Narayan, a Kashmiri, lived in an unconsummated marriage with Jayaprakash Narayan, Indira Gandhi's most famous political foe. Because of her lack of sexual interest or desire, Gandhi thought that Prabhavati would be a perfect married brahmachari. In addition to sleeping with Gandhi, she also gave him "service."

6. Raj Kumari Amrit Kaur, married to a Rajasthani prince, was India’s first health minister and was a Gandhi associate for 30 years. Although older, she slept right along with the younger women in Gandhi's quarters. She also helped with baths and massages.

7. Sucheta Kriplani, a member of Parliament and professor at Benares Hindu University, was a member of Gandhi’s Peace Brigade in East Bengal in 1947. She maintained a brahmachari marriage with J. B. Kriplani, a famous socialist and saint. Gandhi fought their union tooth and nail. Although Gandhi invited Mrs. Kriplani to his bed on a regular basis, he insisted that married couples in his ashrams always sleep in different quarters.

8. Abha Gandhi was a Bengali who accompanied the Mahatma in East Bengal. She started sleeping with Gandhi when she was 16; she also bathed him and washed his clothes.

9. Kanchan Shah, also a married woman, had a "one night stand" with Gandhi and was banned from brahmacharya experiments because she reputedly wanted to have sex with him. Gandhi gave the following instructions on brahmachari marriage to Shah and her husband: "You should not touch each other. You shall not talk to each other. You shall not work together. You should not take service from each other." But Gandhi of course received "service" from his women on a daily basis. On the hypocrisy of taking what he denied to others, Kumar has this to say: "The vow of brahmacharya was a revenge he took upon everyone else."

10. Manu Gandhi was his brother’s granddaughter and she was his constant companion for the last eight years of his life. Interestingly enough, there is a temple to Manu, a powerful rain goddess, in Gandhi’s home city of Porbandar.

Sharad Pawar - Dawood Ibrahim Links: Extracts from Vohra Committee Report

OUTLOOK EXCLUSIVE - 14 February 1996

Pawar's Time Of Reckoning

Secret papers allege that the Maharashtra politician had links with hawala agents close to Dawood

RAJESH JOSHI

The Nexus

After the 1993 Bombay blasts, the Home Ministry collected considerable information on the links between Congress politicians and the underworld. The details of this investigation were submitted to the Vohra Committee. Excerpts:

Underworld Operator Political/Bureaucratic Patronage

Maharashtra

Dawood Ibrahim: Sharad Pawar, Salim Zakaria, Javed Khan (both ex-ministers close to Pawar)

Mohammed Dosa: Madan Baffna (ex-minister)

P. Raj Koli: Arun Mehta (former home minister)

Haji Ahmed: D.V. Patil, Javed

Khan Khan Brothers: Arun Mehta, Salim Zakaria (ex-ministers)

Tiger Memon: Javed Khan

Gujarat

Abdul Latif: Chimanbhai Patel (ex-chief minister)

Rati Lal Deva Navik: Cadir Peerjada ( PCC vice-president),

Izzu Sheikh, Haji: Ahmed Patel, AICC general secretary

Hassana Dada: C.D. Patel (home minister), Thakor Nair (supply minister).

Amar Subhania: Chimanbhai Patel

Ram Bhai Gadwai: Ashok Lal ("s/o Babu Lal, minister of sports") Santosheben Jadeja, MLA: "Earlier of Janata Dal. Joined Congress. Known as mafia queen."

The MHA report lists, among others, godman Chandraswami and notorious criminal Babloo Srivastava as close associates of Dawood.

Just last year they had called it a damp squib. Now it looks like another political tinderbox, awaiting ignition. In mid-1995, when the N.N. Vohra Committee report on the criminal-politician nexus was tabled in Parliament, the Opposition was united in heaping scorn on it. The perception was that the 12-page report was incomplete and politically sensitive information had been suppressed. Months later, after the episode had receded from public memory, there is evidence to confirm that suspicion. Some documents submitted to the committee by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and procured by Outlook reveal shocking charges of the murky link between prominent politicians and the underworld.

The MHA report alleges that there was a definite nexus between underworld don Dawood Ibrahim's associates and former Maharashtra chief minister Sharad Pawar. According to the report, Mool Chand Shah alias Choksi—a hawala racketeer also involved in the Jain case and "close to Dawood Ibrahim and gang"—had, on various occasions between December 1979 and October 1992,transferred or paid Rs 72 crore to Pawar. Many other Congress leaders have also been listed as recipients of money from Shah.

The report states that "between December 1979 and February 1980, Mool Chand Choksi paid Rs 7 crore to Sharad Pawar, which was received from an undisclosed source in the West". It also confirms that Choksi had "developed closeness" with Dawood and his gang way back in 1980. Shah was also responsible for transferring money for "various important people of Bombay to the Middle-East and other countries for safe caching".

Choksi is said to have paid another instalment of Rs 5 crore around May 1991 to Pawar. According to the report, "the amount was reportedly transferred from a Middle-Eastern country through the hawala channel. Reportedly, the above amounts were paid for election purposes". Shah not only provided Pawar with funds for elections but was also used by the latter to siphon money abroad. Says the report: "On behalf of the chief minister of Maharashtra, Pappu Kalyani (Kalani) had handed over Rs 20 crore to Cho-ksi in September 1990 for transferring abroad. Another amount of Rs 50 crore was transferred by Choksi on behalf of the chief minister." The deal was executed through an advocate.

The report says that Choksi had been in constant touch with Pawar till a few months before the Bombay blasts. A major transaction of Rs 10 crore allegedly took place in October 1992. In this transaction, say the documents, "Choksi delivered an amount of Rs 10 crore to the nephew of Sharad Pawar. The amount had reportedly come from the Middle-East." Shah was arrested under TADA on May 4, 1993, for funding Tiger Memon with Rs 2.5 crore for the blasts.

During the interrogation of Usman Ghani, an accused in the Bombay blasts case, it was revealed that he had established contacts with the glitterati of Bombay for siphoning their black money through the hawala conduit to foreign accounts. The report names "a very top politician of Bombay" apart from a few film stars. "Some of the important personalities whose money he (Ghani) transacted are Dilip Kumar, Feroz Khan and one Banerjee, an advocate of Bombay, who is reported to be very close to a very top politician of Bombay."

Hawala operators like Choksi mentioned in the MHA report are also involved in the new multi-crore Jain hawala scandal. Apart from Shah, the name of a Delhi-based hawala dealer, Shambhu Dayal Sharma alias Guptaji, figures in the report. It was Sharma's arrest in 1991 and his subsequent interrogation which led the CBI to raid J.K. Jain's residence, where it stumbled across the now-famous diaries. Sharma had told the CBI that he used to work for J.K Jain. The MHA reports say that Sharma had been funnelling money to politicians for over a decade.

Sharma's name first came to the notice of the authorities in May 1985 when he allegedly acted as a conduit for Choksi in a Rs 3-crore payoff to Arun Nehru, the then internal security minister.

Inquiries made by the Government agencies, on which the MHA report is based, reveals that Mool Chand Shah lived in 604, Rajendra Vihar, Guildern Lane, Lamington Road in Bombay. The hawala kingpin hails from Dhinmal village in Jalore district, Rajasthan. His father migrated to Bombay and tried his hand at the textile business. Later, the Shahs switched to the diamond trade.

Choksi's underworld activities aroused enough curiosity to prompt investigations by various agencies. But he managed to skip the dragnet of the law, thanks to his political clout. In March 1989, a detention order—No. SPL 3(A)PSA 0189/107 under COFEPOSA was issued against him. But this order was "revoked by the Government of Maharashtra" on May 10, 1990, "without assigning any reason".

The MHA report points out that "the revocation was done at the behest of the Home Minister of the Ruling Party (sic)," Arun Mehta, a close Pawar confidant. "For this action, Arun Mehta and other politicians were paid Rs 2 crore by Choksi," it notes.

The Enforcement Directorate and the Marine and Preventive Wing of the Customs, Bombay, also registered cases against Choksi in 1989 and 1990 respectively. He was arrested on November 30, 1990, in connection with one of the cases but was immediately released on bail. A development which the report clearly ascribes to his political connections. "Every time he procured his bail either on technical grounds through his lawyers or through money power."

It is also admitted that Choksi could never be interrogated at length because of the fact that he had "sympathisers" at the Centre and in the state government. He was held again in April 1991 following Sharma's arrest in connection with "an international conspiracy of funding terrorist organisations in Kashmir". Even when he was being interrogated by the Bombay police, Choksi used to claim that he could not be kept under detention for long because of his "high political connection". The report says: "He was dropping the name of Chandra Shekhar, former Prime Minister, in this connection."

A part of Dawood's operations were based in Gujarat, particularly along the coast. The MHA report also lists politicians from the state who had links with the underworld. Among those named is the then chief minister, late Chimanbhai Patel, and AICC General Secretary Ahmed Patel ( see box ).

The report, had it been tabled in Parliament along with the much-maligned Vohra panel report, would have fulfilled the objective set before it when it was constituted on July 9, 1993. After the Bombay blasts, when the then internal security minister Rajesh Pilot ordered that the committee be set up, it was asked "to take stock of all available information about the activities of crime syndicate/mafia organisations which had developed links with and were being protected by Government functionaries and political personalities."

The Vohra Committee had the information but no one in the Congress wanted it to see the light of day. The procrastinations that followed resulted in the 12 pages of generalities that has now come into the open and nothing specific about the vicious nexus in operation in three countries.

शरद पवार ने सबसे पहले किया था 'हिंदू आतंकवाद’ शब्द का प्रयोग

मुंबई [ओमप्रकाश तिवारी] हिंदू संगठनों पर आतंकवाद का ठप्पा लगाने का काम सबसे पहले शरद पवार ने किया था। वह भी 2008 में हुई साध्वी प्रज्ञा की गिरफ्तारी से ठीक पहले। केंद्रीय गृहमंत्री का पद संभालने वाले पी.चिदंबरम् एवं सुशील कुमार शिंदे ने इसके बाद ‘हिंदू आतंकवाद’ शब्द का प्रयोग किया।

29 सितंबर, 2008 को नासिक के मालेगांव कस्बे में हुए दो विस्फोटों में छह लोग मारे गए थे और करीब 100 लोग घायल हुए थे। इस घटना के छह दिन बाद ही 5-6 अक्टूबर को मुंबई से सटे रायगढ़ जिले के अलीबाग में शरद पवार की राष्ट्रवादी कांग्रेस पार्टी का अधिवेशन था। इसी अधिवेशन के समापन समारोह में मराठा छत्रप शरद पवार यह कहते हुए पुलिस पर दोहरा मापदंड अपनाने का आरोप लगाया था। उन्होंने कहा था कि पुलिस आतंकी घटनाओं में सिर्फ सिमी जैसे मुस्लिम संगठनों की जांच करती है, बजरंग दल जैसे हिंदू संगठनों की नहीं।

पवार ने अपने संबोधन में साफ कहा था कि यदि आतंक के लिए मुस्लिमों को निशाने पर लिया जा सकता है, तो सनातन प्रभात और बजरंग दल जैसे हिंदू संगठनों के विरुद्ध कोई कार्रवाई क्यों नहीं होती ? पवार ने अपने इसी संबोधन में गृह विभाग के अधिकारियों को अपने नजरिए में बदलाव लाने के निर्देश दिए थे और कहा था कि अंततोगत्वा देश की एकता सर्वोपरि है। अन्यथा इसकी कीमत समाज को चुकानी पड़ सकती है।

पवार ने अपने इसी संबोधन में कहा था कि जो भी लोग गैरकानूनी गतिविधियों में शामिल हैं, चाहें वे बजरंगदल के हों या सिमी के, उनके साथ समान व्यवहार किया जाना चाहिए। पवार ने आगे कहा था कि समाज के किसी एक हिस्से पर ही आतंकवादी का ठप्पा लगा देना अच्छे संकेत नहीं हैं। पवार ने संवाददाता सम्मेलनों में पुलिस द्वारा आतंकियों के नाम जाहिर करने पर भी आपत्ति जताई थी।

उन्होंने कहा था कि ऐसा करने से जांच में बाधा पैदा हो सकती है। पवार ने जिस दौरान ये बातें कही थीं, उस दौरान महाराष्ट्र के गृहमंत्री उनकी ही पार्टी के आर.आर.पाटिल थे। स्वयं शरद पवार केंद्र में कृषिमंत्री थे और केंद्रीय गृहमंत्रालय के प्रभारी शिवराज पाटिल थे। राज्य में आर.आर.पाटिल एवं केंद्र में शिवराज पाटिल को अपनी कुर्सी करीब डेढ़ माह बाद हुए 26/11 के हमले के बाद छोड़नी पड़ी थी। पी.चिंदबरम् ने उसके बाद केंद्रीय गृहमंत्रालय संभाला था।

बता दें कि पवार के इस बयान के अगले दिन, यानी सात अक्टूबर, 2008 को ही मालेगांव कांड की जांच कर रहे एक पुलिस अधिकारी सावंत ने साध्वी प्रज्ञा ठाकुर को फोन करके उनके नाम से पंजीकृत एलएमएल फ्रीडम मोटरसाइकिल के बारे में पूछताछ की थी। नासिक एटीएस कोर्ट में दाखिल साध्वी प्रज्ञा के शपथपत्र में कहा गया है कि फोन पर हुई उस बातचीत में ही सावंत ने उन्हें सूरत आने को कहा, जहां साध्वी के माता-पिता रह रहे थे। 10 अक्टूबर को साध्वी सूरत पहुंचीं।

एटीएस अधिकारी सावंत ने वहीं साध्वी को बताया कि उनकी मोटरसाइकिल का इस्तेमाल मालेगांव विस्फोट में हुआ है। तब साध्वी ने सावंत को जानकारी दी कि यह मोटरसाइकिल वह अक्टूबर 2004 में ही मध्यप्रदेश निवासी सुनील जोशी को बेच चुकी हैं। सावंत 10 अक्टूबर को ही साध्वी को उनके एक साथी के साथ मुंबई ले आए, जहां उनसे पूछताछ के दौरान उनपर वो सारे जुल्म हुए, जिनकी चर्चा आजकल साध्वी प्रज्ञा प्रेस के सामने कर रही हैं। उस दौरान हेमंत करकरे ही एटीएस प्रमुख थे।

Indiabulls - Malegaon blasts connection: RVS Mani's letter to HM Amit Shah

20th May, 2019

Sir,

I am the author of the book titled "Myth of Hindu Terror". I am a former officer of the Government of India who had worked in different Ministries and Departments, which includes a tenure as Under Secretary in the Internal Security Division of Ministry of Home Affairs. In the above book I have captured the manipulations of some of the political leaders during my period for furthering the false narrative of Hindu Terror.

On 3.5.2019 a discussion on Hindi Version of my book was held in Bhopal. In the said event Shri Sangle one of the Advocates of Sadhvi Pragya ji met me. Later on 14.5.2019 he had visited my residence and sought to know certain details regarding the prosecution sanction issued. I had guided him to obtain a model copy of the sanction from the same court which I had given regarding a different case, which I believe he made efforts to obtain on 15.5.2019. 

On 16.5.2019 while I was coming out after performing Pradhosha Puja, at Sree Vinayaka Temple located in AB Block Sarojni Nagar, New Delhi at about 8.10 PM this incident happened. While walking toward the main road, Sree Vinayaka Mandir Marg, just opposite to AB 845 (The house in under demolition) one gentleman called me out. Since redevelopment project is going on there is a dark spot. He identified himself as from India Bulls. But what he said was surprising. He told me not to guide Shri Sangle or any other person on this Malegaon case. He said that not to advise anyone on prosecution sanction or infirmities in it. Further he also said that their man is going to be DGP Maharashtra shortly and this issue could affect his appointment as DGP. He further told me that they purchased Sandesh. I replied that I do not take sweets because of high sugar. Without further responding I walked towards my car. This person was extremely polite, persuasive and dignified. 

However, I did inform one of my lawyer friends.

After further research from my team, I have been informed that Sandesh is not any sweet, but he is lawyer for NIA. Further, they have advised me that although the demeanour of the person was polite, dignified etc. I should not take this at face value and that I should inform the police. 

Kindly take note of this and take appropriate action in this regard. 

Yours faithfully, 

R.V.S Mani

Mumbai Police Commissioner, Param Bir Singh’s Association with the “Disappearance” of Dilip Patidar as Maharashtra ATS Boss

Is ATS Protecting Terror Groups in India at the Behest of Pakistan's ISI?

17th October, 2020

Prof. Madhu Kishwar

The much celebrated super cop Julio Ribeiro who was once the Police Commissioner of Mumbai had written an article titled "CM brings good cops in, keeps bad cops out" in the Times of India of July 5, 2018. In this he congratulated the then chief minister Devendra Fadnavis for resisting pressure to appoint Param Bir Singh and another “bad cop” as Mumbai Police Commissioner without naming either of the two “bad cops”. The other bad cop kept quiet, but Param Bir Singh let the world know that Ribeiro had referred to him as one of the two “bad cops” by writing an angry rejoinder to Ribeiro and demanding an apology for defamation. He himself ensured that his letter in which he lavished generous praise on himself, was published by most leading newspapers of India. Needless to say, Mr. Ribeiro did not apologize nor even bothered to engage with Param Bir Singh.

The fact that a luminary like Ribeiro chose to indict Param Bir Singh through a signed article in the Times of India speaks volumes. It is an open secret that Param Bir Singh is held in disdain by the honest among Maharashtra Police. I have heard from insiders that whenever a police officer has to refer to fellow cops who are outrageous in matters of corruption and crime, as Param Bir Singh is reputed to be, they often say, “अरे भाई, इतनी परमबीरी नहीं करनी चाहिए” (Buddies, our cops should not indulge in such brazen Parambiri).

All this is only to point out that the allegations of covering up the murderer of Sushant Singh Rajput or the draconian and lawless actions being taken by Param Bir Singh against editors, reporters and CEOs of Republic TV are totally in sync with his past history.

In my previous article posted on October 12, 2020 I had provided evidence of how Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh used Indiabulls Aviation Ltd as an accomplice in forcibly and illegally abducting Sudhakar Chaturvedi in order to coerce him into implicating himself and others like Col. Purohit and Sadhvi Pragya in the Malegaon blasts case of 2008. Col. Purohit was at that time assigned the job of cracking the SIMI terror networks set up by the ISI in India while Sudhakar Chaturvedi was an official Army source who provided Col. Purohit information on SIMI and other Islamist networks. By arresting and brutalizing both Col. Purohit and Chaturvedi, Maharashtra ATS led by Param Bir Singh and Hemant Karkare effectively sabotaged the Military Intelligence operation against SIMI in addition to exposing to Pakistan and the Islamist forces the entire network set up by Col. Purohit.

In this article, I bring evidence of some more heinous crimes committed by Maharashtra ATS under Param Bir Singh’s direct charge. These relate to the murder of Dilip Patidar.

Who was Dilip Patidar & why was he picked up by Maharashtra ATS? Dilip Patidar, a 28-year-old electrician working with a premier private hospital, was picked up by a Maharashtra ATS team on the intervening night of November 10-11 in 2008. He was picked up by a Maharashtra ATS unit from his home in Indore’s Shanti Vihar Colony. Dilip’s family is based Dupada village in Madhya Pradesh’s Shajapur district.

The only charge the Maharashtra ATS could come up with against Patidar is that at one point of time, he had been a tenant of Ramchandra Kalsangra, another person falsely accused by the ATS in the Malegaon blast case. According to sources in the ATS, Dilip was dragged into the Malegaon Blast case because the ATS wanted to blackmail Dilip into giving ATS a tutored testimony against Kalsangra and others which Dilip resisted and refused.

(In the above picture, Dilip Patidar's grief stricken wife and son hold his photograph with an appeal for justice)

In sheer desperation, Dilip’s family had filed a habeas corpus petition before the Indore bench of Madhya Pradesh High Court in December 2008. The Indore bench directed the CBI to probe Dilip’s disappearance. CBI finished the investigations and found Maharashtra ATS officers Rajan Ghule and Ramesh More responsible for his disappearance.

A Special CBI judge Raghvendra Singh Chouhan had also held later that prima facie there is evidence against Ghule and More for their prosecution for criminal conspiracy, kidnapping, fabrication of evidence and other offences under the IPC.

All along the Maharashtra ATS has been using its clout through the Godfather of all mafias in Maharashtra - namely Sharad Pawar - who in turn has been using his influence to scuttle action against the two guilty cops. The statutory permission to prosecute Ghule and More was to come from the office of the Governor of Maharashtra who obliged Pawar by denying permission for prosecution.

Incidentally Param Bir Singh’s blue-eyed boy ATS officer Rajan Ghule was also a passenger on the surreptitious Indiabulls charter flight which forcibly and illegally abducted Sudhakar Chaturvedi. According to ATS sources Ghule and More worked very closely with Param Bir Singh. In all likelihood Dilip was murdered in cold blood by the two under orders from “bad cop” Param Bir Singh and his body was tagged under “unidentified bodies from the 26/11 Mumbai Terror attack”.

The allegations regarding Dilip Patidar’s unaccounted disappearance without a trace are now being probed by the National Investigative Agency (NIA) as part of its overall probe of the Malegaon blasts case of 2008.

How Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh Used Indiabulls as an Accomplice in Manufacturing Fake “Hindu Terror” Bogey in 2008

13th October, 2020

Prof. Madhu Kishwar

Among the many sinister acts of Sonia Congress is its dubious role in facilitating the 26/11 Mumbai Terror Attacks in cohorts with rogue officers of Mumbai Police and in manufacturing the Fake Narrative of “Hindu Terror” in order to crush nationalist forces in India in cohorts with ISI of Pakistan.

Param Bir Singh, the present Commissioner of Mumbai Police, who is embroiled in massive controversy over his role in Sushant Singh Rajput Murder case and for filing fake criminal cases against Republic TV, was a key player in implicating many innocent persons in order to support the fake narrative of “Hindu Terror.” He was at the time Additional Commissioner of Police Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS). His elevation to the Police Commissioner’s rank in Mumbai—the most coveted police posting in all of India, despite a consistently dubious track record, appears to be a reward for his role in brutalizing a number of innocent persons such as Sadhavi Pragya and Colonel Purohit at the behest of Sonia Congress backed by the D-Gang.

Case 1: 'Malegaon Blast’ Related Misdeeds of IPS Param Bir Singh & the India Bulls Connection: Among his many misdeeds in that domain, let me share a glaring crime committed by Param Bir Singh in the course of investigation into Malegaon 2008 blasts while he was Additional CP, Maharashtra ATS.

On August 9, 2010, Sudhakar Chaturvedi, one of the persons falsely implicated by Param Bir Singh in Malegaon 2008 blasts case, filed an affidavit in the Sessions Court, Nasik, describing how on October 24, 2008 he was illegally kidnapped from Nasik by officers of Maharashtra ATS under direct supervision of Param Bir Singh.

In his affidavit, Chaturvedi describes how on the night of 23rd October, 2008 he was forcibly shoved into an ATS vehicle. He was blindfolded and taken to an unknown destination. The next day (i.e. October 24) he was presented before Param Bir Singh at the ATS office in Kala Chowki, Mumbai. There he was brutally beaten up by the team of four ATS officers who also threatened to kill him. Thus far he had not been told for what crime he was being thus incarcerated.

On the night of October 24, he was taken to Santa Cruz Airport from where he was bundled into a plane chartered by India Bulls Aviation Ltd. and flown to Bhopal along with Sachin Kadam, Rajan Gole, Sunil Yadav, Sanjay Patil, Krishna Sawant, etc. Chaturvedi later found out through an RTI inquiry that the ATS registered him as a traveller in that plane under a fake name – Sangram Singh. No such person of that name flew in that aircraft.

In a Bhopal hotel, ATS officers beat him up again and forced him to sign a false confession. In Bhopal they picked up another person by the name of Sharad Kulkarni and on October 25 brought Chaturvedi and Kulkarni to Mumbai in yet another plane chartered by India Bulls. The information about the charter flights and fake name (Sangram Singh) given to Chaturvedi was obtained through an RTI application. (The two screenshots of the RTI response are given at the end of the article which list Sangram Singh as passenger No 10. See Annexure 1).

After reaching Mumbai they were driven straight to ATS office where Chaturvedi met other innocents likewise forcibly abducted by the ATS under Param Bir Singh’s charge. These included Sadhavi Pragya, Shyam Shahu, Shivnarayan, Gopal Singh Kalsangra and Major Ramesh Upadhyaya.

Chaturvedi alleges that he was kept in the ATS custody till November 4, 2008 and tortured both physically and mentally. Thereafter he was locked up in Taloja Jail.

It is noteworthy that IPS Param Bir Singh's wife, Savita Singh is currently a Director with India Bulls Properties as per a report from business research platform Tofler.

The arrest of Sangram Singh was also reported by Hindustan Times but there is no accused by the name of Sangram Singh in the Malegaon 2008 blasts case. To quote from that report dated October 27, 2008:

Malegaon blast: Focus on new outfits: The arrest of two more people on Sunday for their alleged involvement in the Malegaon bomb blast of September 29 has brought the activities of a couple of little known Hindu radical organisations into sharp focus: the Rashtriya Jagran Manchand Abhinav Bharat. The Maharashtra Anti Terrorist Squad (ATS) which is probing the blast, arrested Sameer Kulkarni from Bhopal and Sangram Singh from Indore, bringing the total number of arrests to seven. Both are office bearers of Abhinav Bharat.

ATS sources admitted that they had mistakenly named the ‘Hindu Jagran Manch’ as being under their scanner. They had actually meant the Rashtriya Jagran Manch. Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, the president of the Manch, has already been held for her alleged involvement in the blast. "Brochures we have collected indicate she is its president,” said an ATS source.

The ATS also raided Pragya's rented residence in Jabalpur on Sunday, but admitted to have found nothing incriminating….

Reason For Targeting Chaturvedi: In my article on the incarceration of Lt Col Purohit by Maharashtra ATS, there is a section on why Chaturvedi was targeted by Param Bir Singh and his boss Karkare. To quote from that article:

“…there are two eyewitnesses namely Subedar Pawar and Major Praveen Khanzode - who have testified before the army Court of Inquiry that they saw Assistant Police Inspector (API) Bagade planting traces of RDX in the house of Sudhakar Chaturvedi who was one of the key links in the Intelligence Network cultivated by Purohit while he was posted at Nashik.

Sudhakar Chaturvedi was also arrested as Accused No 11 in [Malegaon Blast] case even though he was a registered intelligence operator and was entered as such in the army’s official records by Purohit. The ATS claimed him arrested on 20 November 2008 and have shown his house, which was provided to him in the cantonment area, searched under panchnama on 25 November 2008. In the charge-sheet the ATS have claimed that the traces of RDX explosives which were recovered from Chaturvedi’s house during the claimed search on 25 November 2008 prove that the bomb used in the Malegaon blast was prepared and assembled at Chaturvedi’s house at Devlali, Nashik at the behest of Purohit who was ideologically motivated to undertake bomb blasts on account of his alleged “saffron” affiliation.

However during the Army’s Court of Inquiry, Major Praveen Khanzode and Subedar Keshav R Pawar, stated that on 3 November 2008, i.e. 2 days before Purohit’s official arrest and 17 days before the arrest of Chaturvedi, that they had caught Shekhar Bagade of ATS red handed while he was planting evidence at Chaturvedi’s house. On getting caught Bagade pleaded with them with folded hands not to report his presence at Chaturvedi’s house to any one as it would create lot of problems for him and may even cost him his job.  This incident was reported by Major Khanzode to all his seniors in Devlali and also to Headquarters Southern Command, Pune. (Page 330 of the Court of Inquiry Report of 8 July 2009).

Sharad Pawar as the Master Mind: It is an open secret that Sharad Pawar was the mastermind of this plot because of his cosy links with the D Gang. This fake narrative was then used by Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi, Sharad Pawar, P. Chidambaram, Digvijay Singh, Sushil Kumar Shinde and numerous others along with senior bureaucrats like the then Home Secretary GK Pillai and later by Home Secretary RK Singh to run a vicious demonization campaign against Hindus, both at the national as well as international level. To quote one of the many such noxious statements by Rahul Gandhi:

According to Wikileaks, Mr Gandhi told a US envoy last year there was some support among Indian Muslims for militants such as Lashkar-e-Taiba. But he told ambassador Timothy Roemer the greater threat could come from the growth of radical Hindu groups. Opposition politicians were angered, suggesting Mr Gandhi has "a sick mind".

Mr Gandhi was at a lunch hosted by Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in July 2009, Ambassador Roemer wrote in a cable a month later.

He recalls Mr Gandhi saying: "Although there was evidence of some support for Laskar-e-Taiba among certain elements in India's indigenous Muslim community, the bigger threat may be the growth of radicalised Hindu groups, which create religious tensions and political confrontations with the Muslim community." (https://www.theguardian.com/world/us-embassy-cables-documents/219238, https://www.bbc.com/news/world-south-asia-12018744)

The main purpose of providing these details is to point to the following criminal acts (among countless others) committed under the direct charge of Param Bir Singh in cooking up the “Hindu Terror” bogey / theory so as to protect Islamic terrorists:

1. Arrest of Chaturvedi without warrant after forcible abduction;

2. Third degree torture of Chaturvedi who had absolutely no criminal history and was in fact an official Army Intelligence source;

3. Using a charter plane paid for by India Bulls (a private company) to undertake a surreptitious trip to Bhopal instead of showing the Bhopal trip as an official one;

4. Giving Chaturvedi a false identity in the records of Santa Cruz airport plus India Bulls charter flight. Was Chaturvedi given a false name because the ATS wanted to kill him like, as according to CBI, ATS killed Dilip Patidar?

5. Falsely implicating Chaturvedi and several others in Malegaon 2008 blasts in order to protect Islamist forces working within and outside India.

Case Two: Covering Up Murder in Cohorts with India Bulls: Param Bir Singh’s name is also linked to covering up a murder case while he was Commissioner Police, Thane. I quote verbatim the report published in The Free Press Journal on March 19, 2017:

Mumbai: In what can spell trouble for Thane Police Commissioner Parambir Singh, a writ petition has been filed in the Bombay High Court seeking registration of a First Information Report (FIR) against him.

The petition filed by a Dombivli-based businessman – Kishor Sohoni – has alleged that Singh had ‘conspired’ to kill Vakola police station’s senior police inspector Vilas Joshi in 2015. Reportedly, Joshi was shot dead in the police station by police inspector Dilip Shirke. The incident was then considered as a result of the rift between the two officers over duty hours.

However, Sohoni has claimed that the incident was planned by Thane’s top cop along with his junior and Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Vilas Mane.

In the petition filed through his advocate Sadhna Kumar, Sohoni has stated, “Singh and Mane had conspired in this murder to save their face and to favour their friend India Bulls Director Ashok Kacker in a recovery case of Rs 100 crore belonging to a group of Indian Revenue Service officers. It is pertinent to note that Singh’s wife is associated with India Bulls.”

According to Sohoni, the director of India Bulls had allegedly duped a retired Income Tax (IT) officer of Rs 50 crore and that later the IT officer planned to kidnap India Bulls’ director. It is claimed that Joshi (who was posted at Vakola police station) had picked up the boys who were allegedly planning to abduct Kacker, but the latter refused to lodge any complaint against them. It is argued that despite Kacker’s move, these boys were illegally detained by the Thane police after taking their custody from Joshi. It is claimed that all this was done at the behest of Singh.

Sohoni has claimed that Joshi knew about the wrongdoings of the top cop and was accordingly killed.

“The petitioner (Sohoni) decided to find out the truth on his level and was shocked to know that Singh and his associates were the key conspirators behind the murder of a police officer,” the petition reads.

Needless to say that Param Bir Singh used his clout to let the case languish in courts so that the guilty have thus far escaped punishment. These are mere tip of the iceberg of the crimes committed by Param Bir Singh. Thanks to the political patronage he enjoys from Sharad Pawar and D. Company, he has continued to be rewarded for his misdeeds instead of being taken to task for them.

Appeal to the Prime Minister of India: Need to Investigate Zakat Foundation Trained IAS, IPS, IRS officers for Possible Terror Links and Allegiance to Pan-Islamic Agenda - Prof. Madhu Kishwar

22nd September, 2020

Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji,

Law abiding citizens of India are reeling under the impact of the alarming exposé on the meticulously executed sinister plan by Zakat Foundation of India to capture key bureaucratic positions in India through the UPSC exam.

On the face of it, there is nothing wrong or illegal in a Muslim community organization helping youngsters of the community do well in competitive exams, including the prestigious UPSC exam. Let me also state it loud and clear that our disquiet and alarm regarding these candidates is NOT on account of their being Muslim. Our concern is on account of their links to Zakat Foundation of India & allied organizations.

The lightning speed with which Islamic groups managed to get a stay order from the High Court of Delhi to stop Sudarshan News from airing their planned program titled “UPSC / Naukarshahi Jehad” betrays the nervousness and fear of public exposure of the Zakat Foundation of India’s agenda. Their clout is evident from the fact that courts have rarely, if ever, given stay orders on programs yet to be aired. All this clearly indicates that vested interests coming out in defence of Zakat Foundation of India have much to hide.

What is even more alarming is the speed with which they organized more than 1,700 citizens, including prominent journalists, film directors, lawyers and civil society members, to write to seven chief ministers, demanding that an FIR be registered against Sudarshan News Editor-in-Chief Suresh Chavhanke for spreading “hate speech” (https://theprint.in/india/grotesque-assault-on-india-over-1700-citizens-demand-fir-against-suresh-chavhanke/491095/). It is noteworthy that most of the signatories belong to the Award-Wapsi-Gang and the Shaheen-Bagh-Support-Brigade.

Zakat Foundation’s Inroads into Elite Civil Services: Since 2009, Zakat Foundation of India has been spending huge amounts of money from the ‘zakat’ funds to provide scholarships and training to Muslim aspirants in order to help them qualify in the UPSC exam. A large number of Zakat Foundation of India beneficiaries are now serving as IAS, IFS, IPS, IRS officers and in other central services.

- In 2020 alone, 27 of the total 40 Muslim candidates selected in the UPSC are products of Zakat Foundation of India. (https://www.news18.com/news/india/upsc-registers-40-increase-in-number-of-successful-muslim-candidates-this-year-2758205.html).

- From 2009-2019, a total of 119 Zakat Foundation of India fellows have joined the Indian Administrative Service, the super elite IAS.

Zakat Foundation of India’s Alleged Terror Links & Pan Islamist Agenda: The Government of India cannot be unaware of the fact that Zakat Foundation of India is rigorously pursuing a Pan-Islamic agenda. Thanks to media reports, it is now out in the open that Zakat Foundation of India has direct as well as indirect links to banned/terrorist organizations. Media reports have also exposed that the Terror-Indoctrinator, Dr. Zakir Naik, is closely linked with Zakat Foundation of India.

Your own government banned Dr. Zakir Naik's Islamic Research Foundation under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967, (UAPA). The Cabinet note regarding the ban has clearly stated that Dr Zakir Naik has been promoting enmity between religious groups and inspiring Muslim youth in India and abroad to commit terrorist acts.

Prime Minister ji, given these sinister connections, it is alarming that such a large number of UPSC aspirants trained by Zakat Foundation of India have been recruited in the elite services of India where officers are not only privy to state secrets that have security implications but also part of policy making and implementation.

The full list of 119 Zakat Foundation of India fellows who have joined the Civil services is provided at the end of this Appeal as ANNEXURE 1. This list is copied straight from the Zakat Foundation of India website.

Did IB or R&AW Clear the Antecedents of Zakat Foundation Fellows?: Right from the days of the Indian Civil Service (ICS) of British vintage, to its post 1947 avatar, the IAS, it has been an established protocol that candidates who qualify the written exam and get through the interview, have to be cleared by the Intelligence Bureau (IB). Such precautionary measures are taken in almost every country in the world with varying degrees of severity.

We can understand the laxity in such matters under UPA rule since their barely hidden agenda was to facilitate the Islamic takeover of India. One may safely surmise that the appointment of Dr Syed Zafar Mahmood (an Indian Revenue Service Officer and the Founder President of Zakat Foundation of India) as an Officer on Special Duty (OSD) in Dr. Manmohan Singh's PMO was to further that agenda. He was put in-charge of the high powered Sachar Committee whose report played havoc with facts and data to engineer a sense of victimhood among Muslims. He is currently also the President of Zakat Foundation.

Now we can connect the dots and understand why Dr. Manmohan Singh had the gumption to dismiss with disdain the widespread outrage caused by his brazenly unconstitutional statement that “Muslims must have first claim on (India’s) resources”!

UPA’s Policies Continue Under Rashtravadi Government:  It is well known that Dr. Manmohan Singh was a Puppet Prime Minister. But it defies comprehension how during the last six years of your self-avowed “rashtravadi” regime which claims to wipe out terrorist networks in the country, scores of candidates sponsored, indoctrinated and trained by a subversive organization linked to global terror networks have managed to get recruited in elite civil services of India! We need to know who paralysed or prevented Intelligence Bureau (IB) and Research & Analysis Wing (R&AW) from doing proper background check of each of these candidates, especially given the sinister connections of their sponsoring organization.

Does this not amount to stretching the idea of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas” to dangerous limits?

Whether as chief minister of Gujarat or as the Prime Minister of India, you are well aware of how even run of the mill bureaucrats, police officers, judicial officers and officers of sundry central services with questionable loyalties tried their best to sabotage your policies and plans at the behest of vested interests, that include both internal and external enemies of India. You were also a victim of defamation campaigns that emanated from within the bureaucracy. And yet your government is a not taking the most elementary precautions to ensure that those whose stated agenda is to Break-Up-India under a Pan-Islamic mission, ought not to get a foothold at the highest echelons of the Government of India.

Zakat Foundation Partnership with Terror Linked Madina Trust: It is a pity, dear Prime Minister, that you need to be reminded that the international partner of Zakat Foundation of India is Madina Trust which was involved in an attack on the Indian High Commission in London on September, 2019. This is a mere tip of the iceberg of their many unlawful activities. Dr. Zahid Ali Parvez, a Trustee of Madina Trust, is also a trustee with the Islamic Foundation. The Times had reported that two Islamic Foundation trustees were on the UN sanctions list of people associated with the Taliban and Al-Qaeda (https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/the-colleges-with-links-to-islamist-movements-ckf3rgd5dvg; https://www.change.org/p/hon-home-minister-of-india-investigate-zakat-foundation-of-india-s-links-with-dr-zakir-naik-taliban-al-qaeda).

In other words, the links between Zakat Foundation of India, Taliban and Al-Qaeda should have been subjected to thorough investigation long ago. Instead the Government of India is allowing them to position indoctrinated youngsters into the “steel frame of India”. This may prove to be lethal for the security and integrity of India.

Open Adherence to Pan-Islamic Agenda: The Zakat Foundation of India makes no attempt to hide its intent. Hitherto it has openly boasted of its Pan-Islamic agenda on its website. However, many links on their website have suddenly vanished in the last few days after recent exposures but can still be found on several other websites. Therefore, your numerous muddle-headed Intelligence agencies do not need much hard work to investigate their intent in sponsoring a large number of UPSC aspirants.

Implications of Sharia Compliant Individuals Manning Civil Services: Their website is dedicated to ensuring Sharia (Islamic Law) compliance and the need to “streamline” Zakat & Sadaqah administration in the world. According to Zakat Foundation of India “organizational activities must comply with the Shariah regulations (under the watchful eye of a Shariat advisory body)”.It is now well established that through 'Halalo-Nomics' (the economic empire of Halaal certification), Islamists have captured global markets for almost all consumer goods, including medicines, cosmetics and daily groceries. Through surreptitious means they have brought about a situation whereby even non-Muslims are contributing billions of dollars and rupees every year to Zakat Funds which are in turn used for Pan Islamic agendas and devising ways to subvert democratic societies from within.

Civil servants connected with Zakat Foundation of India have been blatant in displaying anti-India proclivities and their Pan-Islamic loyalties. A good example is the IAS topper of 2010 batch, Shah Faesal, who is the poster boy of Zakat Foundation of India and is showcased extensively on their website (https://web.archive.org/web/20190910123919/http://www.zakatindia.org/ShahFaesal.html).

I, like countless others in India, had naively celebrated his being the first IAS topper from Kashmir, assuming that he would inspire Kashmiri youth to “join the mainstream” by convincing them that far from discriminating against Muslims, India happily accepts Muslims in the highest echelons of power. But within no time, Shah Faesal showed his true colours. While on study leave in the US in 2018-19, he started ranting against India and on return to J&K after the leave period, he dramatically announced his resignation from the IAS to launch a pro-Pakistan political party of his own. To further humiliate the Government of India, Shah Faesal recommended Nobel Peace Prize for Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan (https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2019/mar/03/ex-ias-officer-shah-faesal-recommends-nobel-peace-prize-for-imran-khan-draws-flak-1946131.html). To top it all, he had to be arrested from the Delhi Airport while trying to escape to Turkey, one of the closest allies of Pakistan. (https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/shah-faesal-stopped-from-flying-to-turkey-detained/articleshow/70684243.cms)

Shah Faesal is not the only Muslim officer to have let down India in favour of Pakistan and Pan-Islamism. Former Vice President Hamid Ansari, in his earlier avatar as an Indian Foreign Service (IFS) officer, was even more brazen in his anti-India activities. For instance, he has issued no denial to open charges levelled against him in the media that while he was posted as Ambassador in Iran, he severely damaged India’s intelligence operations in that country, thereby jeopardizing India’s security as well as diplomatic relations with Iran. (https://www.sundayguardianlive.com/news/ex-raw-officers-want-pm-act-hamid-ansaris-anti-national-acts)

Another well-known example is that of former IAS officer, Wajahat Habibullah who facilitated a “surrender” by JKLF terrorist Yasin Malik with the assurance that he would be well protected by the Government of India. For 30 years Yasin Malik was never brought to trial for his openly admitted murders of Indian Air Force officers and several Kashmiri Pandits. In fact, after coming out on bail, he was allowed to receive a hero’s welcome and given all manners of facilities to mint money, buy huge properties and jet-set around the globe while pouring venom against India.

Why just Habibullah, it is well known that many among IAS, IPS Muslim officers in J&K have  made no secret of their being pro-Hurriyat, pro-Pakistan. This when the earlier generation of officers were not indoctrinated by the Zakat Foundation of India.

BJP Government Outperforming Congress Led UPA in Minority Pandering: I have to point this out with great grief, dear Prime Minister, that far from protecting the “steel frame of India” from saboteurs within, your government has gone out of its way to facilitate their entry into the portals of power. As Gujarat chief minister, you had firmly resisted special schemes in the name of “minorities” --a clever euphemism for Christians and Muslims.  In an interview with me in 2013, you had proudly narrated how you refused to implement any of the Central Government’s special schemes for “minorities” because all welfare schemes in your state followed the income criteria–without regard for religion.

But after becoming Prime Minister, you have far out-performed UPA in offering countless special schemes involving thousands of crores of rupees exclusively aimed at “religious minorities”-- with each Central government ministry wooing them with attractive doles denied to other citizens. To top it all, the bizarre plethora of schemes instituted by the Ministry of Minority Affairs make one’s head go tizzy. This ministry should have been disbanded on day one of your assuming charge as PM because it violates your much-touted slogan of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas.”

Instead, the Ministry of Minority Affairs proudly boasts that there is a quantum leap from UPA days in the budgetary allocations in the vast array of old and new schemes being implemented by your government. Your government is being even more brazen than UPA in “appeasement politics” which you at one time soundly thrashed. What is worse, there is NO background check of the beneficiaries with regard to schemes that have serious implications for national security and the very survival of Indian civilization.

Nai Udaan or Slippery Slope?: The most disturbing of them all in the current context is the “Nai Udaan” scheme of the Ministry of Minority Affairs under which each UPSC aspirant from a “minority community” gets a fellowship of Rs. 1,00,000/- by way of sarkari support to qualify for the civil services exams.

- Before 2014, the total number of “minority” beneficiaries were 483.

- After the ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas’ touting government took over in 2014, this number sky-jumped to 4142 in just four years - almost a ten-fold increase.

And dear Prime Minister, you yourself boasted of these special schemes as a big feather in your cap in the 2019 general election as well as in many state elections. These boasts occupy a pride of place on the website of Ministry of Minority Affairs as evident in the screen shot below:

(Image courtesy: Ministry of Minority Affairs website)

Here again, there seems to be no system of background check, no scanning to weed out persons with anti-India proclivities. This in effect means, that your government could well be accused of facilitating the selection of Zakir Naik’s chela chapaataas in to the ‘steel frame of India.’ Its implications are chilling:  Sitting in vantage positions, they can drive knives in the heart of Ma Bharti as and when they are called upon to do so by their patrons.

Pradhan Mantri Ji, This cannot go on unchecked. In the interests of national security and civilizational integrity of India, which we know you hold dear, we urge you to:

- Order a thorough investigation into Zakat Foundation of India's links with terror Indoctrinator Dr. Zakir Naik, Taliban & Al-Qaeda;

- Pending investigation, recall all the civil servants associated with Zakat Foundation of India;

- Direct the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to scan each of the UPSC candidates and successful aspirants who have links to Zakat Foundation to assess their level of indoctrination;

- Issue a White Paper on Zakat Foundation of India & allied organizations with terror links along with a clear policy statement as to whether such organizations pursuing a lethal Pan Islamic agenda have a place in democratic and plural India.
