Kejriwal: A Hindu by faith A Muslim by practice

January 27, 2014 in Home Slider, Indian Muslim, Viewpoints | 71 Comments

By Syed Zubair Ahmad,

When Arvind Kejriwal was delivering his inaugural speech as Chief Minister of Delhi I was sitting in another  room and listening to him. All of a sudden I heard him saying ‘Mai Allah Ka Shukrya Ada Karta Hun’, I got confused and went to the room where the TV set was on. O my God, it was Kejriwal who uttered this sentence of gratefulness. I did not hear such words of praise of Almighty even from the mouth of a Muslim politician in India.

When I see Kejriwal’s sacrifice and his struggle for the cause of common man, when I see his austerity, his simple life style, his honesty and his straightforwardness I wish he were Muslim. Whatever he calling for or doing is absolutely the teaching of Islam.

Prophet Muhammad said: ‘The best among the people is the one who does good to the people’. It’s Kejriwal who is doing good to the people, who is striving for the betterment of people, who is fighting for the upliftment of the people for a long time.

Prophet Muhammad said that ‘Your worst enemy is your ego’.

Kejriwal in his inaugural speech as the CM asked his supporters to shun all kind of ego otherwise a new movement may start to end our ego.

Prophet Muhammad said ‘Those who take bribe and those who give bribe, both will go to hell’. It’s Kejriwal who is fighting against all kinds of bribe and corruptions. It is Kejriwal who took oath from the people to neither take bribe nor give bribe to anyone.

Prophet Muhammad said ‘Cleanliness is the part of Imaan. When Kejriwal was income tax commissioner he used to clean his  table, when he became politician he took the broom and started cleaning the system.

Prophet Muhammad said ‘Simplicity is the part of Imaan.’ Look at the simplicity of Kejriwal. He is the simplest person by any standard.

Once Prophet Muhammad was sitting on his foot, one of his companions asked ‘why are you sitting like this? The prophet said ‘I am a servant of Almighty Allah and I sit like a servant’. Kejriwal always says ‘meri koee auqaat nhi’  ‘meri koee haisiyat nahi’ I am nothing, I have no status.

Prophet Muhammad said ‘The best form of jihad is to say the truth before the oppressive rulers’. Kejriwal is telling the truth before the rulers.

Muslims believe that the time of death is fixed, and no power of this world can put off  it for a moment. By refusing his security Kejriwal has proved that he also believes in the fixed time of death. He told media persons that if God wants to kill him, no one can save him. And if does not want, no one can kill him.

Islam is the greatest advocate of brotherhood, and it declares all mankind the sons and daughters of Adam and Eve. Kejriwal gave the massage of brotherhood by singing the song…insaan se insaan ka ho bhaee chara yahi paigham hamara’

Kejriwal is one of the few Hindu politicians in my knowledge who don’t follow the unethical policy of Chanakya who advocated to ignore all kinds of ethics to grab the power at any cost.

The way Kejriwal and his ministers are roaming freely and contacting people in a move to redress their grievances and solve their problem reminds us the Caliphs of Islamic history when Muslim Caliphs used to roam into the streets to know the problems of the masses.

If Kejriwal really wants to eliminate the corruptions from the society he must know that legislation can never and will never end the corruption from the society. The legislation on rape is before us. In spite of most stringent legislation after 16 Dec incident last year the crime against women rose to 400% in Delhi itself.

Kejriwal needs to apply the following model to end the corruption from the society if he really wants to do so.

During one of his frequent disguised journeys to survey the condition of his people, Caliph Umar overheard a milkmaid refusing to obey her mother’s orders to sell adulterated milk. The mother reportedly told her daughter to add water to the milk as Caliph Umar is not there looking at them. The girl shot back that though Caliph Umar is not looking at them, Allah is always watching over everyone. Next morning Omar sent an officer to purchase milk from the girl and learned that she had kept her resolve; the milk was unadulterated. Umar summoned the girl and her mother to his court and told them what he had heard. Then he offered to marry the girl to his son Asim as a reward. She accepted, and from this union was born a girl named Layla that would in due course become the mother of Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz  (682 A.D.) who is known as Omar II in the Islamic history .

Caliph Omar II was the mightiest ruler of his time on the planet whose authority was spread in three continents – but  Umar died in Ra jab 101 AH at the age of 38 in a rented house at the place called Dair Sim’aan near Homs in Syria . He was buried in Dair Sim’aan on a piece of land he had purchased from a Christian. He reportedly left behind only 17 dinars with a will that out of this amount the rent of the house in which he died and the price of the land in which he was buried would be paid.

Once his wife found him weeping after prayers. She asked what had happened. He replied: “I have been made the ruler over the Muslims and I was thinking of the poor who are starving, and the sick who are destitute, and the naked who are in distress, and the oppressed that are stricken, and the stranger that is in prison, and the venerable elder, and him that had a large family and small means, and the like of them in countries of the earth and the distant provinces, and I felt that my Lord would ask me about them on the Day of Resurrection, and I feared that no defense would avail me (at that time), and I wept.”

The Facebook page of Kejriwal describes him as Gandhis’ Talisman. If  Kejriwal really wants to solve the problems of the masses then he must follow the advice of   Gandhi .Just after the independence in his speech delivered in Kolkata  Mahatma Gandhi said ” that if India finds a man like Omar ibn Khatab all the problems will be solved”.

Gandhi was the greatest supporter of Caliphate Movement and was much influenced by the second Caliph Omar.

Anyway what is supposed to be done by Muslims, Kejriwal is doing,what is responsibility of a Muslim is being performed by Kejriwal , that is why i say ‘Kejriwal is a Hindu by faith and Muslim by practice’  because Islam is a all about  worshiping  God and serving  the  humanity.

The meeting deliberated on milli, national and international issues and passed the following resolutions:

Merger of Mushawarat groups

Members unanimously appreciated the merger last October of the two factions of AIMMM and paid tributes to all those whose efforts led to the merger.

Communal riots

Communal riots continue in various parts of the country ahead of the general elections. The AIMMM requests all state governments to be vigilant against the attempts of Hindutva elements which use communal violence to polarise society and get Hindu votes. The AIMMM also requests the Election Commission of India to ban all parties and individuals which indulge in communal violence and spread hatred against the communities for political gains. AIMMM registers with pain that UPA government despite numerous promises failed to show any seriousness in getting the communal violence bill passed although its draft has been ready since 2005. AIMMM condemns all “secular” parties which did not allow the passage of this bill through Parliament.

Change of demography though riots

The AIMMM expresses its alarm and displeasure against the use of communal riots to change demography by expelling Muslims from rural areas where they have lived for centuries. This illegal and criminal act must be checked with all the force at the command of the State and people who are behind this diabolical plan should be properly punished and denied right to fight elections. Such forced demographic change has been done earlier in and in areas of Assam and in Gujarat 2002 where some 60,000 uprooted people still did not return to their villages and now in the districts of Muzaffarnagar and Shamli districts where some 20,000 refugees still languish in tents in miserable conditions.

Waqf Development Corp.

National Waqf Development Corporation has now been established with a view to realise the real value of waqf properties for the benefit of the Muslim community. But the details of this scheme are still unknown and as such it is difficult to arrive at a definite opinion about its efficacy. The government should also remove the impression that this corporation will benefit all minorities because the waqf properties are meant for the benefit of the Muslim community. The Union government should at the earliest release the details of this corporation. AIMMM cautions that the NWDC should not be allowed to become yet another lethargic public sector organisation and should not become a backdoor for the government to continue to occupy and utilise waqf properties. In order to make this corporation successful, NWDC's board of management should have a proper representation of serious and reputed representatives of the Muslim community and community organisations of repute.

Ban on SIMI

AIMMM condemns the fresh ban by the Union Home Ministry on the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) for another five years although there is no convincing proof about any terror activity undertaken by this organisation which remains banned since 2001. The ban is used to harass and implicate former SIMI members and Muslim youth in fresh cases although scores of SIMI activists have been acquitted by courts and despite the fact that even this banned organisation’s appeals against the first and subsequent bans are still pending with the Supreme Court. Former SIMI members are being hunted down and constantly harassed by security agencies despite a clear order by the Supreme Court that mere membership of a banned organisaiton is not sufficient ground to arrest someone. AIMMM notes that while the ban on SIMI is renewed without fail and its former members are unnecessarily harassed, a plethora of Hindutva terror organisations remain untouched like Sanatan Sanstha, Abhinav Bharat, Bajrang Dal and Sri Ram Sena. The Centre even rejected a Mahrashtra state recommendation to ban Abhinav Bharat which speaks volumes about the attitude of the Union government vis-à-vis saffron terror.

Modi and Gujarat riots

Modi and his defenders are claiming that courts have given him a clean chit, hence any talk of his involvement in the 2002 riots is a contempt of court. This is factually incorrect as Modi has been given a clean chit by the SIT which has come under severe criticism for ignoring solid evidence implicating Modi in the 2002 riots. Zakia Jafari too has decided to go to high court against a lower court's verdict in Gulbarg Colony case. Modi will remain an accused until the apex court, which had called him a "Nero", exonerates him. Modi not only actively supported the riots, he has also been instrumental in dismissing FIRs and withdrawal of cases against the accused and shielding them, in addition to actively denying relief and justice to the victims. Selection of such a person by the saffron party as its prime ministerial candidate indicates the valueless and opportunist politics of Hindutva forces.

Army crimes in J&K

An army court of enquiry's dismissal of charges against the officers accused in the Pathribal fake encounter has once again highlighted the unjust AFPSA law which gives immunity to the army in J&K and areas of Northeast where it is in operation since decades. In the Pathribal fake encounter of March 2000 army personnel had kidnapped and killed five innocent Kashmiri villagers and claimed that they were militants responsible for the Chattisingpora massacre of 34 Sikhs on 20 March 2000 which too was allegedly perpetrated by the army to impress upon the visiting US President Bill Clinton the gravity of militancy in J&K. This dismissal of a solid case again calls for the repeal of AFPSA, an anti-people and anti-democratic "law" which thwarts justice.

Violence against Christian minority

In addition to the Muslim community, Hindutva forces have steadily targeted the Christian community across the country. According to a report prepared recently by the Christian Church under Justice (Retd) Michael Saldana, about 4000 Christian were targeted during 2013, and about 400 clergy and community leaders were attacked in 200 anti-Christians incidents across 19 states. It is time Central and state governments took serious notice of the overt and covert activities of the Sangh Parivar outfits which are behind these hate crimes.

Hindutva terror

The trail of Hindutva terror and its connection with the RSS is fairly well-known and accepted now. Even Union Home Ministry and the last two Union home ministers have publicly acknowledged "saffron terror" and spoke about the danger it poses to the secular and democratic fabric of the country. Now with Swami Aseemanand's assertion in his latest interview with Caravan magazine that top bosses of the RSS were directly involved in motivating and financing saffron terror, it becomes a duty of the Union home ministry to treat this danger with the seriousness it deserves, arrest the top RSS leaders involved and ban all saffron organisations involved in terror and promotion of hatred against other communities.

Aam Admi Party

AIMMM welcomes the emergence of Aam Admi Party (AAP) and considers it a secular alternative. But AAP, which is clear about the scourge of corruption, is not clear about the other scourge of communalism and though it has demanded the formation of SIT to probe the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, it is silent about the communal violence bill, fake encounters and arrests of Muslim youth in the name of fighting terror. In order to become a clear alternative, AAP should clarify its position about these crucial issues as well.

Palestine

The US under Obama is pushing hard to bury the Palestinian issue for good. Secretary of State John Kerry has been shuttling between Tel Aviv and Arab capitals to sell a plan which aims at settling the Palestinian issue for good in Israel's favour. Palestinians are being offered a truncated and disarmed “state” while ceding to Israel West Bank's thickly populated illegal Jewish settlements, ceding part of Arab Jerusalem including a part of the Aqsa Mosque to Israel, and closing the chapter of Palestinian refugees by settling them where they live at present. This is a total sell-out of the Palestinian issue. The AIMMM appeals to the UN ad all peace- and justice-loving nations around the world to ensure justice to the wronged Palestinian people by boycotting and pressuring Israel to accede to at least the minimum Palestinian demand to be allowed to live in peace, security and dignity in the pre-1967 areas of the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

Egypt

The Egyptian junta led by General Sisi, who has now elevated himself to the rank of Field Marshal, is consolidating its grip on power and has got a partisan constitution passed by a dubious referendum which grossly restricts civil liberties and awards unprecedented powers and total autonomy and immunity to the Army, while the main popular force in the country has been banned and declared “terrorist” and the first-ever democratically-elected President of the country is standing trial on grotesque charges. AIMMM condemns the role of the so-called Egyptian "liberals" who have preferred the heavy boots of the army over a moderate regime run by an elected President. AIMMM also condemns the Western and Gulf powers which have recognised and helped the putschists to survive and consolidate their grip over Egypt. AIMMM notes thatEgypt and other Arab countries are boiling and a more comprehensive popular movement is on its way to sweep away the local satraps of foreign powers.

Syria

The Syrian civil war continues since three years and has already taken the toll of 125,000 Syrian lives, rendered 9.5 million Syrians refugees and destroyed almost the whole country. Yet the sectarian dictatorship in Damascus refuses to even honour its own commitment in the first Geneva Conference of 2012 to install an interim administration in Damascus to hold free and fair elections. The sectarian regime overlording the destruction of Syria now refuses to give in anything in the current (second) Geneva Conference. The AIMMM, while condemning forces like the terrorist "Islamic State of Iraq and Syria" (Da'ish) which is active in Syria to frustrate the just struggle of the Syrian people, appeals to the world powers, especially the UN, OIC and Arab League to force the sectarian regime in Syria to see reason and transfer power to the people without any more bloodshed and destruction. Moreover, the present rulers of Damascus should be prosecuted by the International Court of Justice for their crimes against the people of Syria including murder of 11,000 people killed while in custody.

Bangladesh

Bangladesh, under Hasina Wajed, is fast becoming a one-party dictatorship. It has just declared itself triumphant in heavily rigged elections boycotted by opposition parties. It is also waging a vendetta war against Jamaate Islami Bangladesh (JIB) by trying its leaders in front of a dubious and partisan tribunal, in a bid to weaken opposition parties. It is a matter of regret that the Indian government is supporting Bangladesh in these undemocratic measures. AIMMM urges Hasina Wajed in the interest of her country and people to stop her politics of vendetta and allow all opposition parties to function normally, lift the unjust ban on JIB and disband the dubious tribunal it set up to annihilate JIB for political gains.

Central African Republic

AIMMM registers its dismay and disbelief at the silence of world bodies, major powers and Muslim countries and organisations on the continued mass murder of Muslims in the Central African Republic where Christian militias are reported to have fallen as low as indulging in cannibalistic practices eating the flesh of their Muslim victims. The silence of Muslim countries and O.I.C. is baffling. Central African Republic, where election of a Muslim to the post of President led to mass hysteria by Christians against the Muslim minority, is a fit case to be expelled from the UNO, Organisation of African Unity and other international forums. The French army stationed in the Central African Republic is responsible for this massacre because it first disarmed Muslims and then watched as an spectator the Christian militias’ attacks on Muslims.

Burma’s Rohingya Muslims

AIMMM repeats its strongest condemnation of the Burmese authorities’ continued persecution of the Rohingya Muslim community in Burma which is deprived of its natural rights as citizens of Burma and forced to live as refugees in its own country or to flee to neighbouring countries like Bangladesh, Malaysia, Thailand and India. Such behaviour is a source of utter shame in the twenty first century. AIMMM urges Burma authorities to rethink their erroneous and racist policies, they should allow Rohingyas to return to their villages and hamlets and should repatriate those who have fled outside Burma due to persecution. AIMMM urges the Indian government to put pressure on Burma govt. to start behaving in a civilised manner and honour the civil, political and human rights of the Rohingyas and to help Burmese Muslim refugees who are in our country.

Bahrain

A popular democratic movement is going on for the last two years in Bahrain which is being brutally crushed by the ruling clique there. AIMMM supports popular, democratic and human rights struggles of people everywhere. AIMMM cautions the rulers of Bahrain to refrain from crushing the popular democratic movement of the people of Bahrain and concede to them all their political and human rights.

اجلاس میں ملی ، ملکی اوربین الاقوامی صورت حال پر غور کرکے مندرجہ ذیل قراردادیں پاس کی گئیں:

مشاورت دھڑوں کا انضمام

ممبران نے متفقہ طور پر پچھلے سال اکتوبر میں  مشاورت کے دونوں دھڑوں کے انضمام کو سراہا اور ان سب لوگوں کو خراجِ تحسین ادا کیا جن کی کوششوں سے یہ کام عمل میں آیا ہے۔

فرقہ ورانہ فسادات

عام انتخابات سے پہلے ملک کے مختلف حصوں میں فرقہ ورانہ فسادات کا سلسلہ جاری ہے۔ کل ہند مسلم مجلس مشاورت تمام ریاستی سرکاروں سے اپیل کرتی ہے کہ وہ ہندتووا عناصر کی ان سرگرمیوں سے چوکنا رہیں جوہندو ووٹ حاصل کرنے کے لئے فرقہ ورانہ فسادات کراکے معاشرے میں دھڑے بندی کراتی ہیں۔ مشاورت الیکشن کمیشن سے بھی اپیل کرتی ہے کہ وہ ایسی تمام پارٹیوں اورشخصیتوں کے الیکشن میں حصہ لینے پر پابندی لگائے جو سیاسی مفاد کے لئے معاشرے میں نفرت پھیلاتی ہیں۔ یہاں مشاورت دکھ کے ساتھ اس بات کو درج کرتی ہے کہ یوپی اے سرکار نے متعدد وعدوں کے باوجود فسادمخالف بل پاس کرنے کے سلسلے میں صرف رسمی کارروائی کی جس کی وجہ سے موجودہ پارلیمنٹ میں بھی 2005سے تیارشدہ بل پاس نہیں ہوسکا۔ مشاورت ان تمام نام نہاد سیکولر پارٹیوں کی مذمت کرتی ہے جنہوں نے اس بل کو پارلیمنٹ میں پاس نہیں ہونے دیا۔

آباد ی کا تناسب بدلنے کے لئے فسادات

صدیوں سے دیہی علاقوں میں آباد مسلمانوں کو گھر بدر کرکے آبادی کا تناسب بدلنے کے لئے فسادات کے حربہ کے استعمال پر مسلم مجلس مشاورت سخت تشویش اور ناپسندیدگی کا اظہار کرتی ہے۔مرکز اور ریاستی سرکاروں کو اپنے تمام اختیارات بروئے کار لاکر اس مجرمانہ سرگرمی کو روکنا چاہئے اور جو لوگ بھی اس انتہائی خطرناک سازش کی پشت پر ہیں ،ان کو سخت سزائیں دی جانی چاہئیں اور ان کو الیکشن میں حصہ لینے کے حق سے محروم کیا جانا چاہئے۔آبادی میں تناسب کی ایسی جبری تبدیلی آسام اور گجرات میں لائی جاچکی ہے، جہاں تقریبا 60,000افراد ابھی تک اپنے آبائی گاؤوں کو نہیں لوٹ سکے ہیں ۔ مظفرنگر اور شاملی کے اضلا ع میں بھی یہی ہوا ہے ،جہاں تقریبا 20,000 افراد اب بھی انتہائی خراب حالات میں عارضی کیمپوں میں رہنے پر مجبور ہیں۔

وقف ڈولپمنٹ کارپوریشن

تاخیر سے ہی سہی، نیشنل وقف ڈویلپمنٹ کارپوریشن کا قیام عمل میں آگیا ہے۔ اس کے نتیجہ میں وقف املاک کا اصل فائدہ مسلم فرقہ کو پہنچنے کی توقع ہے لیکن اس اسکیم کی تفصیلاتجانے بغیر اس کی افادیت کے بارے میں رائے قائم کرنا مشکل ہے۔ اس لئے حکومت کو چاہئے کہ جلد از جلد اس مجوزہ کارپوریشن کی تفصیلات جاری کرے اور اس تأثر کو دور کرے کہ اس کارپوریشن کا فائدہ تمام اقلیات کو ہوگا کیونکہ موقوفہ جائدادیں مسلمانوں کے فائدے کے لئے ہیں۔ اسی کے ساتھ مشاورت خبردار کرتی ہے کہ یہ کارپوریشن بھی دیگر پبلک سیکٹر اداروں کی طرح غیرمتحرک ہوکر نہ رہ جائے اور وقف املاک پر سرکاری قبضے برقرار رکھنے کا چور دروازہ نہ بن جائے۔ کارپوریشن کو کا میاب بنانے کے لئے ضروری ہے کہ اس کی انتظامیہ میں سنجیدہ اور باوقار مسلم افراد اور تنظیموں کی مناسب نمائندگی ہونی چاہئے۔

سیمی پر پابندی

آل انڈیا مسلم مجلس مشاورت ایس آئی ایم پر مزید پانچ سال کے لئے پابندی میں توسیع کی مذمت کرتی ہے۔ہرچند کہ اس تنظیم کے کارکنوں کے کسی دہشت گرد سرگرمی میں ملوث ہونے کا کوئی نیا ثبوت نہیں ہے تب بھی یہ پابندی عائد کی گئی ہے۔ متعدد کیسوں میں ماخوذدرجنوں سیمی کارکن عدالتوں سے بری کئے جا چکے ہیں، تاہم اس پابندی کو اس کے سابق ارکان اور مسلم نوجوانوں کو نئے کیسوں میں پھنسانے کے لئے استعمال کیا جاتا ہے۔ ان حقائق کے باوجود اس تنظیم پر عائد پابندیوں کے سابق احکامات کے خلاف عذرداریاں ابھی تک سپریم کورٹ میں زیر التوا ہیں۔ سپریم کورٹ کاواضح حکم ہے کہ کسی ممنوعہ تنظیم کا سابق ممبر ہونا کسی کو گرفتار کرنے کا کافی جواز نہیں ہے ،پھر بھی سیکیورٹی ایجنسیاں مسلسل سیمی کے سابق ممبران کو ہراساں کرتی رہتی ہیں اور ان کا پیچھے پڑی رہتی ہیں۔ مسلم مجلس مشاورت کا مشاہدہ ہے کہ سیمی پر پابندی کی توسیع تو مستعدی سے کی جاتی رہتی ہے ، جبکہ سناتن سنستھا، ابھینو بھارت، بجرنگ دل اور سری رام سینا جیسی بھگوا دہشت گرد تنظیموں کو چھوا تک نہیں جاتا ۔ یہاں تک کہ مرکزی حکومت نے ابھینو بھارت پر پابندی عائد کرنے کی مہاراشٹرا سرکار کی سفارش کو بھی مسترد کردیا۔ اس سے بھگوا دہشت گردی کے معاملے میں مرکزی حکومت کے جانبدارانہ رویہ کی قلعی کھل جاتی ہے۔

A 'Muslim' Police Commissioner for Mumbai? - My comments posted on Mumbai Mirror website

A ‘Muslim’ Police Commissioner for Mumbai?

Taboo for both ultra communal Sonia Congress and Sharad Pawar’s NCP.  

Both coalition partners in ruling Democratic Front widely posing as ‘secular’, are bending backwards to woo Muslim voters of Maharashtra to entice them to vote them back into power!!!

However, when it comes to giving in to Muslims, even symbolically, both cannot suppress their communal prejudices.

A meritorious clean IPS officer, Javed Ahmed, due for the post through his seniority, was passed over and the post was given to Rakesh Maria who has been involved in so many controversies, including murder of Karkare and alleged bribing of witnesses to help police case.

Do Sonia and Sharad Pawar think, they got Muslims voters all bound, sealed and delivered to their doorsteps?

This one act of bad faith is enough to undo all their bogus claims to be fair for Muslim voters.They must realize, AAP is lurking on the horizon.

Sources said the police officer felt frustrated by the government's decision to promote him to the director general's rank, thus robbing him of a chance to head the Mumbai police.

A day after Mumbai Mirror revealed that he had lost the race to the Mumbai police commissioner's post, a dispirited Additional Director General of Police Javed Ahmed told his close friends on Monday that he was contemplating premature retirement.

Holed up in his official apartment in Yashodhan building behind Mantralaya the entire day, Javed refused to take calls from journalists. However, close friends, including those within the police ranks, said he was deeply disappointed with the government's decision to promote him to the director general's rank, thus robbing him of a chance to head the Mumbai police.

The Mumbai police commissioner is an additional DGP rank post and this newspaper in its Saturday's edition broke the news of the Police Establishment Board recommending Javed, and Thane Police Commissioner K P Raghuvanshi for promotion to DGP's rank.

Of the five DGP posts in the state, only two - DGP, state police; and DGP, Anti Corruption Bureau - are considered prestigious. The other three posts - DGP, police housing; DGP, security corporation; and DGP, home guards - are known as 'side postings' and mark an inglorious end to an IPS officer's career.

With both the posts of DGP, state police; and DGP, Anti Corruption Bureau not falling vacant till 2015, Javed, 58, would get only one of the three side postings. Something that he does not seems to be too kicked about.

The DGP, state police, Sanjeev Dayal, who is the senior-most DG, retires in September 2015 and he will be succeeded by Praveen Dixit, who is currently DG, Anti Corruption Bureau. Dixit will retire in July 2016, by when Javed himself would have retired.

Javed, known as an upright officer in the force, currently holds the law and order portfolio. Before this, he was the Navi Mumbai police commissioner - both considered active policing jobs. "The Mumbai police commissioner's post was my right. It hurts when you are denied your due," Javed told a source, and revealed that he was considering voluntary retirement rather than accept such an uneventful end to his career.

If Javed takes voluntary retirement, he would become the second Mumbai police officer to do so in less than a month. Late last month, the then Mumbai police commissioner Satyapal Singh took voluntary retirement and joined the Bharatiya Janata Party. While Singh said he quit the force because of his interest in politics, he too had faced the same dilemma as Javed - if he had continued, he would not have got a shot at the two top DGP posts.

Javed was done in by the politiking over the police commissioner's post. Satyapal Singh was due for promotion in April last year. If he had been promoted, Javed would have been the top choice to replace him.

But when the files for promotions were sent to Home Minister R R Patil, he sat on them for months, allowing Satyapal to continue in the post. And when Patil cleared the promotions late last year, the CM's office procrastinated endlessly.

It was only when Satyapal applied for VRS that the government woke up and began the process of looking for a new CP.

A FIXED FIGHT TO DEPRIVE A MUSLIM OFFICER HIS DESERVING POST?

Maharashtra CM faces criticism

for near-surrender to NCP

 

Prafulla Marpakwar,TNN | Feb 17, 2014, 04.10 AM IST

MUMBAI: A day after the biggest reshuffle in the IPS, chief minister Prithviraj Chavan is at the receiving end for near-surrender to the Sharad Pawar-led NCP as well as the prolonged delay in the appointment of the city police commissioner.

"Chavan accepted the NCP proposal on the new police commissioner. Had he accepted the proposal earlier, criticism of the government for policy paralysis could have been avoided. We were unable to take a decision on the new CP for 15 days after Satyapal Singh quit,'' a senior IPS official told TOI on Sunday.

The official said ever since DG (home guards) Sridevi Goel retired on March 31, 2013, there was a debate within the government on the new police chief, since Singh was due for promotion that day. For six months, no decision was taken, and on September 30, when Anti-Corruption Bureau director Raj Khilnani retired, IPS officials were again expecting a reshuffle. But no decision was taken as there was no consensus within the Congress and NCP.

Initially, additional director-general Ahmed Javed was the top contender, followed by Thane police commissioner K P Raghuvanshi and additional DG Vijay Kamble, and the 1981 batch of Satish Mathur, Rakesh Maria and Meeran Borwankar.

"Chavan had discussed the proposal with R R Patil and Praful Patel. The CM had proposed Javed as new CP, but no decision was taken, as the NCP felt that Maria should lead the Mumbai police in view of his experience here,'' he said.

When Singh suddenly quit the IPS, Javed was out of race, as the government had to promote him, and the Congress proposed Kamble as the CP. "The Congress and NCP had several rounds of talks on Kamble and Maria. The Congress insisted on Kamble, while NCP insisted on Maria but no decision was taken,'' he said.

In view of mounting media criticism, Chavan had informal discussions with Patil and Patel, and agreed to Maria and the entire list of 86 officers due for transfer was cleared.

"The process was fast-tracked after Patil accepted the recommendations by Union home minister Sushilkumar Shinde, Chavan and former chief minister Ashok Chavan,'' he said.  -----

WPI [Welfare Party of India] criticizes interim rail budget, says it’s directionless and detrimental

Submitted by admin4 on 13 February 2014 - 6:03pm

By TCN News,

New Delhi: Welfare Party of India has criticized the interim rail budget introduced by union minister Mallikarjuna Kharge as disappointing and damaging. Party National General Secretary Dr. S.Q.R. Ilyas in a statement alleged the minister for undue favouritism to his home state negating due share and justice to other states.

In allotting new trains and projects, the minister has ignored backwardness and demands pending due for many years from various quarters. Though the minister has played clever tactic of non-hike of fare for the time being, the policy statement of further revision of fares linking with fuel charge is highly damaging and detrimental to the interests of millions of commuters.

Dr. Ilyas alleged that the minister ignores the fact of Indian Railway being the carrier of common people. Leaving fare revision right on the basis of market fuel rate to the tariff regulatory board will be detrimental to the common people, as have been witnessed in the case of petroleum products.

Dr. Ilyas also criticized the minister’s policy to depend for PPP as a source for resource mobilization for expansion and development. PPP practice has been a failure in the past. Welfare Party of India doubts that this is a covert step for gradual privatization of this PSU that gives the largest employment to the countrymen. The Welfare Party is of the strong opinion that required fund can be generated by effective utilization of the resources under possession of the railways and internal mobilization.

Dr. Ilyas also alleged that the intermittent changes of ministerial guards at the top have left the Indian Railways inefficient and directionless. The budget proposals presented in the Parliament by Mr. Kharge do not give details regarding connection and link with earlier announcements made by his predecessors and follow ups made to earlier decisions.

Friedman: Israel, a wonderful country [?]

Thomas Friedman says, The Israeli-Arab conflict is the small lab where trends get tested first and then go global.

By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN | February 2, 2014 | Updated: February 2, 2014 6:22pm

TEL AVIV, Israel - One of the most popular shows on Israeli TV is called "Eretz Nehederet" or "A Wonderful Country." It's a comedy show that lives to make fun of Israeli politicians and the absurdities of life here. It recently opened its 2014 season with a cartoon graphic of a beautiful, multicolored, flower-filled garden with a butterfly fluttering across the screen. Then, suddenly, a concrete wall rises up all around the garden, which was an image the producers used last year. But this season, not only does the wall emerge but a glass dome rises out of the wall and seals off this Garden of Eden from above.

This scene is noteworthy for a couple of reasons: I've long believed that the Israeli-Arab conflict is to the wider global war of civilizations what off-Broadway is to Broadway. It is the small laboratory where trends get tested first, or are perfected, and then go global - from airline hijacking to suicide bombing to the attempt, through force and rebuilding, to create a negotiating partner out of a traditional foe (Israel in Lebanon 1982 and with the Palestinians in the Oslo process; America in Iraq and Afghanistan).

So it is useful to ask: What's playing off-Broadway now? What do you see? You see Israel, as in the "Eretz Nehederet" skit, literally trying to wall itself off from the multiplying threats around it and contending with all the ethical dilemmas that entails. And you see a wider region that is no longer divided along pro-U.S. and pro-Soviet lines, socialist or capitalist, secular or religious. You see instead a region increasingly divided between "the world of order" and "the world of disorder."

What Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kurdistan, Turkey, the Gulf states and even to a lesser degree the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank all have in common is that they are islands of order, where at least there is someone to answer the phone, it doesn't come off the wall when they do and there is a minimum of human security.

That is less and less true today in Syria, Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Lebanon and Iraq, not to mention nearby Somalia, Eritrea and northern and southern Sudan.

Guess how many African migrants, mostly from South Sudan, Eritrea and Uganda, have entered Israel in recent years and are here illegally: 54,000! Stroll around the Central Bus Station in Tel Aviv, where many have found shelter, and you'll see African men on cellphones on every street. They sailed, walked or drove to Israel's borders and either slipped in on their own or were smuggled in by Bedouins across Egypt's Sinai Desert. 

That's why the latest fence Israel has built is along the Israel-Sinai frontier. The Sinai is so out of control that last week Islamist militants shot down an Egyptian military helicopter there with a surface-to-air missile believed to have been smuggled in from Libya.

I wonder if the torrid pace of technological change, the rising education demands for running a successful economy, the super-empowerment of individuals to organize as militants or come together against corrupt governments and environmental and population stresses aren't putting unbearable pressure on fragile states and literally blowing them apart. And there is no Soviet Union or America to hold them together as in the Cold War.

The PowerPoint maps that Israeli military briefers use for Sinai, Gaza, Lebanon and Syria today consist of multicolored circles, and inside each are clusters of different armed groups. Israel is like a Petri dish of the new world, with nonstate actors, armed with rockets, dressed as civilians and nested among civilians on four out of its five borders: Sinai, Gaza, Lebanon and Syria.

I understand why all this makes even some moderate Israeli military leaders more wary about any West Bank withdrawal. But the status quo is not neutral. Israel needs to do all it can to avoid turning itself into a kind of forced binational state - with a hostile minority in its belly - by permanently holding onto the West Bank. That's exactly the kind of states blowing up in the world of disorder. And it's why the success of John Kerry's peace mission is so important for Israelis, and Palestinians.

You don't want to be in these wars. This is not your grandfather's battlefield. When the enemy is nested in homes and apartments and no one wears a uniform but everyone has a cellphone camera, you have a real strategic and moral challenge - as the United States has discovered with its own drone wars. It's hard to defeat this enemy without killing a lot of civilians. It's no accident that every Israeli brigade now has a legal adviser.

This is what's playing off-Broadway. Take note. It may be coming to a theater near you.

UNCLE SAM IS READY TO DO BUSINESS WITH MODI - By Dr. Aslam Abdullah, Editor Muslim Observer, USA | 1 comment by Ghulam Muhammed, Mumbai

Wednesday, February 12, 2014

My Comments posted on Caravandaily.com website over Dr. Aslam Abdullah's article: Uncle Sam ready to do business with Modi:

“ The sudden change in US estimation of Modi from an extremist who has committed mass murder genocidal crime in Gujarat, the state in which he was the Chief Minister, to a possible ally in wider geopolitical US interests, in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Middle East as well as US trade and investments priorities in India, is a direct result of Indian Foreign Ministry's mishandling of the Khobargade case, the repercussions of which appear to be ever-widening the gulf between UPA administration, and the US establishment. UPA government has for all practical purposes given up on any meaningful future planning on strategic matters and is prepared to hand over India to Modi on a silver platter. Though anti-Modi opposition has been exclusively concentrating on Modi role in 2002 Gujarat massacres, the opposition in political field as well as in media has completely ignored the wider implications of a Modi win, for the future of Indian in the subcontinent's geopolitical placement. India, at the behest of US may have to get involved in military misadventures with its neighbors --- Pakistan, China, Afghanistan, Iran and Middle East too. A seriously weakened US, with hardly any will and even means to now protect its global interests through armed interventions, is looking for pliable proxies to carry out its bloody war abroad. The warmonger Neo-con Zionists entrenched in US State Department, are past masters in instigating wars and global conflicts through proxies. They have used US itself to further their own Zionist New World Order's nefarious agenda, all along. India under Modi will become a willing sacrificial lamb for the Zionists. It is time for India's thinkers to project the dangers in Modi coming to power through US support in his election victory. There is no secret how Modi will perform the task of US proxy, as his inclinations are all very well known in public arena. Even though he has dwelt hardly on any international matter in his election forays, the gullible public is hardly informed of what it means for India to be under a BJP/RSS rule and that too under a ruthless and reckless leader like Modi.

Those who see a ray of hope in the emergence of Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party as frustrating Modi’s progress toward forming a majority government, are yet to know how far Arvind Kejriwal is aware and prepared to deal with international changeover of India's entire global posture, if and when Modi forms an effective government at the centre. Both Congress and THIRD FRONT should take up this subject to keep the voters well informed about this live and kicking danger of India getting into the global whirlwind as an America proxy, in exchange for a US visit visa for Modi."

The US State Department in its internal discussions has realized the emerging reality in India

India will remain a republic committed to secularism, pluralism and democracy under Modi but the definitions of these ideals would change

DR ASLAM ABDULLAH
 
THE reality has not yet dawned upon Muslim leadership in India that the forthcoming elections in India would be different from those that ever took place in the country. They would determine and seal the destiny of India for the foreseeable future. Muslim leaders are still stuck with their lethargic and indifferent political attitudes coupled with sectarian, caste and political as well as religious squabbles. Among India’s political elites they are considered a significant electoral chunk, to be manipulated easily, to be cheated speedily and to be bought cheaply. 

The coming election and their outcome would not alter India’s commitment to secularism. It would not transform the country into a Hindu Rashtra or deny minorities the rights the constitution promises. India would remain a republic committed to secularism, pluralism and democracy. However, if Modi becomes the Prime Minister, the definitions of secularism, democracy and pluralism would slowly be changed to accommodate the interests of a resurgent majority ( resurgent majority or resurgent Brahmin minority? - GM)  that wants to see its country reflect its pre-Islamic past in a post modern world.

Thus educational curriculum would undergo monumental changes, history would be reproduced and recreated to suit the interests of the majority, and culture would be defined in the context of old traditions and customs, India would see the rise of a new nationalism that would be secular in external appearance but primarily upper caste Hindu driven in its spirit.

Two groups would immensely suffer from this change that may come once Modi becomes the prime minister. Women and religious, cultural and linguistic minorities would face the brunt of the political change. In the name of unifying India, unified civil code would be introduced with initially granting rights to minorities to follow their person laws but gradually eroding their independence.

Under the disguise of enforcing a national language, linguistic minorities would b promised protection to their languages but simultaneously making them irrelevant for future economic or financial growth.

Women’s right would suffer under the BJP administration. Their quest for equal representation would be resisted. They demand for equal pay would be ridiculed. Their freedom to determine their own matrimonial and reproductive destiny would be met with resistance.

The changed political situation would see Muslims and religious institutions would be tolerated as long as they do not interfere in the politics of the state and keep quiet during elections. It would not be shocking to hear Muslim religious leadership approving of BJP administration and describing it the best for Muslims in independent India. There is no dearth of such people in the community who could issue whatever statement as whatever fees.

India would move to a totalitarian regime under the guise of democracy. It would happen because the new political power would ensure that those occupy the top and middle management in bureaucracy, police, army and educational institutions come from a political ideology that wants to see the Hinduization of India without using that term.

RSS would no longer be an organization. It would become part of the state. Communalism, chauvinism and hatred would be institutionalized in a form and shape that no one would be able to point fingers at.

Under the new political administration, India would offer fresh blood to dying capitalism. It would sustain the unbridled capitalism for a few more decades as India with its largest middle class would offer the best purchasing population to the world where consumerism would reign supreme and venture capitalism would thrive.

Religion would be commercialized and rituals would become huge sources of income. Diwali, Rakhi and Kadwa Chowth etc would become the pride of India’s economy and a major source of providing boost to India’s manufacturing sector. Entertainment would also use the religious symbolism to create its own financial niche.

But something else may also happen. India could become the new policeman of the imperialist political powers in Asia. Through the new political administration, the big industrial nations and their ideologue would ensure that India does the dirty job for them in China, Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, Central Asia and even Russia.

An RSS-inspired political leadership can play that role effectively and the big powers would not care as long as the target is not the Christian community. The RSS led administration in India might be willing to let Christian missionaries work in areas that are ruled by Maoists in eastern or north eastern Indian regions.

All this may become a reality if Modi assumes power as either the leader of the BJP in case it wins a majority or as the candidate of a coalition of parties. If he is a coalition prime minister, the outcome may not change. The only change would be in the time-frame of implementation.

The US State Department in its internal discussions has realized the emerging reality in India. It believes that RSS is deeply entrenched in India’s bureaucracy, police and the military. It believes that it has significant presence in the business and IT sector in the US. 

The political parties have also realized the financial importance of the pro-RSS groups in the USA and both parties seem to be wooing this sector vigorously. Moreover, several think tanks in the US tend to believe that India could serve as a US guard in Asia against terrorist groups.

The US political pundits and advisers to the State Department as well many State Department officials are of the opinion that Congress is not in a position to carry the day in the forthcoming elections. Unless the situation changes dramatically in the next few months, Congress would not be able to secure enough votes and seats. They are not very hopeful of the third front that is primarily forged among leftist parties.

The scenario may change if the new political entity, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) manages to throw a few surprises here and there.

The possibility that AAP, Congress and the third front may all come together to form a national unity government cannot be ruled out. But that would create an unstable and chaotic situation leading to reelection and paving the way for the emergence of BJP as the sole winner.

Meanwhile the Indian Muslim leadership is least concerned with the overall political situation. “Nothing would happen even if BJP assumes power and we shall see if that happens.” This is their usual response to a BJP led India scenario. They have not studied either Madhya Pradesh or Gujarat properly where the BJP has been in control for a long time.

A careful study of the two states clearly demonstrates that the RSS is now well entrenched in all branches of government. The business favors BJP supporters. The educational institutions are focusing in symbols that promotes RSS brand of Hinduism. All this is happening with the constitutional framework of India. Perhaps Muslim leadership should seriously study the political culture in the two states before forming their judgment about the BJP.

Rather than focusing on developing a unified strategy to face the next election, they are as usual fighting among themselves. They have no trust in each other and even though they may claim that they are united, they are known to be working against each other in the background. Ask them what their agenda is and you would get 10 different responses from leadership.

There is hardly any grassroots effort to develop a bottom-up agenda of the community keeping in view their aspirations and dreams and the emerging political situation. A top-down agenda is all that everyone who is someone in the community is offering.

Ironically, Rahul Gandhi, could grasp the essence of BJP politics when he said that the party is the mouthpiece of RSS, an organization responsible for the murder of Gandhi. An organization that can kill a Hindu leader for its gain can commit any act for its politics.

Indian Muslims are victims of their own leadership. No single leader or party has ever cared for the faceless, nameless, helpless Muslim masses who are born in poverty, live in poverty and die in poverty. Not many have ever bothered to elevate their social and economic status and educational level. They live in a caste ridden society and perpetuate the stratified system through their political, religious and social leadership. They have never been involved in decisions taken in their names by their leaders without even knowing what those decisions were.

Political leaders have used them as vote banks to achieve higher political goals. Religious leaders have used them as means to flex their theological muscles and play the game of ‘takfir’ (practice of declaring fellow believers beyond the fold of faith) on their shoulders. They feel betrayed and even though Muslim politics is run in their name, they have remained marginalized in India’s politics.

In the coming election, their status would not change. They would still vote on the basis of their caste, class, regional, sectarian and factional loyalties and follow different leaders at different levels without realizing where their true interests lie. Meanwhile, those who have grand designs on India and its future would carry the day and would ensure that the already scattered minority of India is further divided into bits and pieces in the name of sect, faction, religion, ideology and caste.

They know they could always find Muslim leaders ready to play their agenda. What they know for sure is that this time they would want to play to finish the game and what Muslim leadership would not be able to see even with its wide open eyes is that the game is to ensure that as a political entity in Indian politics, they are finished as an effective unit
