R.T.I. Request sent to Prime Minister’s Office
Today applicant has sent the Right to Information request to Prime Minister's Office to seek the following information.
(1) Name of the countries to which Sahara Group Editor Aziz Burney accompanied Hon. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in year 2009,alongwith day and date.
(2) Name of the P.M.O. Official who has shortlisted the name of Sahara Group Editor Aziz Burney to accompany Hon. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to foreign trip during year 2009.
The applicant has sought this information for the reason that Sahara Group Editor Aziz Burney has published the article in the issue dated 5th January 2009 in which he has wrote that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh might be involved in the Mumbai terror attack directly or indirectly, Or he was aware of the conspiracy of Mumbai terror attack.
After getting the answer from P.M.O., litigation is possible against the P.M.O. official responsible for short listing Mr Aziz Burney for foreign trip with Hon Prime Minister. As the allegation which Mr Burney has leveled against Intelligence Bureau for Mumbai Terror Attack directly comes under P.M.O. And also P.M.O. is responsible for the control of acts committed by I.B.
Mr Burney has blatantly commented that I.B. was involved in Mumbai Attack.
Also Burney’s articles has always contradicted claims made by P.M.O. regarding Mumbai Attack case on International level.
And if P.M.O. is agreed to what Burney wrote, immediate action is necessary against various Government Ministries for making false claims of Pakistani involvement in Mumbai terror attack.

Tale of The Two Rapes-Rape on Muslim and rape on Hindu Woman..
When Indian Media was giving huge coverage to Shopian rape and murder case it has totally forgot the story of the two Hindu Women from nabouring Bangladesh who has faced the same fate of being raped and killed.But as you all knows;for Indian media there are two different sets of costs decided for two different religions.If something happens to Hindu it can be easily ignored but if it is the case of Christian or Muslim it should be raised in media as the main national issue for at least week or more.
Here is the stories of two Hindu Women from Bangladesh,for which no one has spared a single line in India Media....
Anguri Abduction Case In Bangladesh
Brief history of the case:- Ms.Anguri Biswas, a Hindu girl was married with Montu Lal Biswas on 9th July, 2004 and out of wedlock a baby son -Simul Biwas was born on 17th June, 2005. They were leading their conjugal life happily since their marriage. But on 2nd July, 2009 at about 3 p.m., when Montu was out of his home for work, three Muslim goons, Md Shekandar Sikdar, Md. Sanu Sikdar and Md. Banir Sikdar, abducted Anguri Biswas and forced her to marry Sikandar before converting Anguri to Islam.
Anguri’s hapless husband, Montu Lal Biswas, approached local police station at Razoir for rescuing his wife on 2nd July. But Razoir police refused to register the case and advised him to go to court for necessary orders. Accordingly, Montu went to Special Court at Madaripur with a prayer for recovery of his wife and the court directed Officer-in-Charge of Razoir police station to record the case on 12.07.2009. Despite receipt of order of the court, the local police kept the matter pending. It is also alleged that the I.O. of the case Mr.Mokarram Hossain demanded bribe of Taka 20,000/ from Montu Lal and he took Taka 5,000/- as first installment of the bribe for rescuing the victim. The officer in charge of the police station was of opinion that Anguri Biswas was not abducted. She had love with the Muslim abductor, Shekandar, embraced Islam and married Shekandar Sikdar. She is still under the custody of the abductors.
It is most unfortunate that despite the order of the court passed the local police kept the matter pending only to force her husband to give bribe to police. The Hindu minorities in Bangladesh should be protected and the perpetrators responsible for this act should be brought to justice.
Newly married minority woman raped and killed by Muslim thugs
Brief history of the case: Radha Rani Halder, a newly married Hindu woman of the Shariatpur District under Dhaka Division in central Bangladesh, was raped and killed by a group of Muslim miscreants on June 27, 2009.
Ms. Halder worked for the local NGO, the Shariatpur Development Society (SDS).
Mr. Dipankar Bairagee, husband of the slain woman, said that, at about 11 a.m. on June 27, Ms. Halder went for loan collection, as part of her work with the NGO, to the house of local village leader, Halim Matubbar, in South Goaldia village.
But when she did not return until afternoon, her co-workers started searching for her, said Mr. Quamrul Hasan(Badal), the Sector Chief of SDS. “Finally after frantic search we discovered the unclothed dead-body of Ms. Halder with her throat half-slit near Hajeer Pukur of Palong Upazila in Shariatpur”, said Sector Chief Hasan.

Are We a Nation of Hindus?
Are We a Nation of Hindus?
By-R. Albert Mohler, Jr.
Recent poll data show that conceptually, at least, we are slowly
becoming more like Hindus and less like traditional Christians in the
ways we think about God, our selves, each other, and eternity.
Those who argue that all religions are essentially the same reveal the
fact that they know little about these very different belief systems.
The worldview of Christianity is, for example, radically different from
the belief structure of Buddhism (some forms of which may actually claim
to resist the very idea of beliefs).
These differences in belief systems are apparent in Lisa Miller's recent
article for Newsweek. As she explains, "A million-plus Hindus live in
the United States, a fraction of the billion who live on Earth. But
recent poll data show that conceptually, at least, we are slowly
becoming more like Hindus and less like traditional Christians in the
ways we think about God, our selves, each other, and eternity."
Many Christians will flinch when reading this. Does this mean that Hindu
temples are appearing across the American landscape? Not hardly. What
Miller describes is the transformation of the belief system in ways that
resemble Hinduism. Her argument deserves a fair hearing.
She begins by quoting a Hindu writing, the Rig Veda: "Truth is One, but
the sages speak of it by many names." The idea of one truth known by
many names is not new. Indeed, it is central to polytheism and the
syncretistic beliefs of several historic and current worldviews.
Hinduism is radically polytheistic and syncretistic. According to Hindu
belief, the many gods and goddesses of their veneration all represent
one fundamental divine reality. The idea of a singular and exclusive
truth is antithetical to classical Hinduism.
So what is Lisa Miller's point? She suggests that contemporary
Americans, including many who consider themselves Christians, are
abandoning the exclusive truth claims of Christianity for a form of
theological pluralism or relativism.
"A Hindu believes there are many paths to God. Jesus is one way, the
Qur'an is another, yoga practice is a third. None is better than any
other; all are equal," she asserts. Christianity, on the other hand, has
affirmed that Jesus Christ is the only Savior, and that the only way of
salvation is through faith in Him.
"Americans are no longer buying it," she insists, and by this she means
many American Christians. She cites a 2008 Pew Forum survey that
indicated major slippage in terms of Christian conviction. According to
the Pew Forum survey, 65 percent of Americans believe that "many
religions can lead to eternal life." More tellingly, 37 percent of those
identified as white evangelicals shared this belief.
Miller cites Stephen Prothero, a leading researcher on American
religion, who defined this "divine-deli-cafeteria religion" as "very
much in the spirit of Hinduism." As he added, "You're not picking and
choosing from different religions, because they're all the same." This
is not exactly like traditional Hinduism, of course, but it works in
much the same way. As he explains, "It isn't about orthodoxy. It's about
whatever works. If going to yoga works, great-and if going to Catholic
mass works, great. And if going to Catholic mass plus the yoga plus the
Buddhist retreat works, that's great, too."
There is every reason to believe that Lisa Miller and Stephen Prothero
are correct in these assessments. Without doubt, Americans have been
growing more and more accepting of plural and relative understandings of
truth. A tragically large number of those who identify as Christians
have been drinking from the same wells of thought.
The exclusivity of the Gospel is not merely a facet of the church's
message. Indeed, a Gospel that does not affirm that salvation comes
through faith in Jesus Christ alone is not the Gospel of Christ, but a
false gospel. As Lisa Miller correctly recites, Jesus did say, "I am the
way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father except through
me." [John 14:6]
Another aspect of the story is this: Many Americans have such a
doctrineless understanding of Christianity that they do not even know
what the Gospel is -- not even remotely. A greater tragedy is that so
many who consider themselves Christians seem to share in this confusion.
Many observers who trace these trends see this doctrinal shift among
Christians as a good development. After all, if you hold to nothing more
than a functional view of religion, this might seem to promise less
conflict among religious believers. But, if you believe that truth is
essential to Christian faith, there is every reason to see these trends
as nothing less than catastrophic. Nothing less than our witness to the
Gospel of Christ is at stake.
Are we becoming a nation of Hindus? Well, in this sense it appears
perhaps we are. The really urgent question is whether the Church will
regain its theological sanity and evangelistic courage to resist this
trend. If not, being described as a nation of Hindus will be the least
of our problems.

Former RSS chief on Jinnah and Gandhi ji
"Jinnah had many facets. If you look at history, he was once associated with Lokmanya Tilak and was totally committed to undivided India," Sudarshan said when asked if he considered the Muslim League leader secular.
"And when Gandhiji started the Khilafat movement, with the idea that currently we are opposing the British and if Muslims join in then their support will help gain independence. But at that time Jinnah opposed it saying that if the Caliph in Turkey has been dethroned, what has India got to do with it. That time nobody listened to him, which saddened him. So he quit the Congress and left for England and only returned in 1927.
"After returning in 1927, Britishers brainwashed Jinnah and prompted him to put forth the demand for a separate state of Pakistan for Muslims," Sudarshan added.
Sudarshan said that everybody knows history, and added had Gandhiji been adamant, like when he was on giving crores of rupees to Pakistan, then the partition would not have taken place. "But he did not do it because Nehru was his weakness."
Commenting on Singh's expulsion from BJP, he said: "It is an internal matter of the party."
Meanwhile, RSS spokesperson Ram Madhav has sought to clarify Sudarshan's remarks, saying the former Sangh chief did not mean to say that Jinnah wasn't responsible for partition.
Earlier, Sudheendra Kulkarni, who quit the BJP over ideological differences with its present leadership, had equated one time mentor Advani with expelled party leader Jaswant Singh in so far as remarks on Jinnah are concerned.

Appeal to Press Council of India to investigate Anti-India and Pro-Pakistani articles of Rojanama Rashtriya Sahara
To,
The Secretary,
Press Council of India,
About:Attracting attention of Press Council of India towards continuous anti-national and Pro-Pakistani reports regarding 26/11 Mumbai Terror Attack Case by editor Aziz Burney......
Date:13-08-2009
Sir,
Since last years after Mumbai Terror Attack incidence Rojanama Rashtriya Sahara has been incessantly publishing reports of involvement Indian Security and Intelligence agencies in the attack.These claims are highly contradictory to the claims made by India's External Affairs Ministry on various international platforms including United Nation's Security Council.Indian Leaders including Prime Minister,Foreign Minister,Home Minister and Mumbai Police Officers are repeatedly stressing about Pakistani Militant outfit's involvement in Mumbai attack but Rashtriya Sahara has been continuously publishing report of involvement of Mumbai Police officials,Military Intelligence, Intelligence Bureau and RAW's hand in training Pakistani Militants for Mumbai attack so as to defame India Muslims.
For couple of times Pakistani Diplomats and Leaders has referred Sahara reports on international platforms for their benefits saying that even Indian newspapers are saying that not Pakistani outfits but Indian agencies are behind Mumbai attack.
Sir,these claims are highly anti-national and hampering reputation of Indian state on International level.Also violating ethics of Journalism and creating communal divide in Society.
Paper crossed all limits and ethics of journalism while referring to murder of former ATS chief and Mumbai Police's decorated officer Late Hemant Karkare by arrested militant Ajmal Kasab.While referring Karkare's death Sahara always said that Mumbai Police top brass with the help of Mumbai Police officers with criminal background and Indian Military Intelligence has planned and executed the murder of Hemant Karkare.In this case also various Indian leaders and ministers and Diplomats are saying on International platforms that Karkare has been shot dead by Kasab near Kama Hospital and interestingly Kasab also confessed that he has shot the Police officer. But Rojnama Rashtriya Sahara is not believing Ajmal Kasab's confession while towing the stand taken by Pakistani Media.
For Rojanama Rashtriya Sahara what PAKISTANI media and Diplomats said is highly reliable but what Indian Diplomats and Leaders said is false, concoctions and not trustworthy.
For scores of times I had wrote to the Editor of the paper to seek clarification in this matter but for no reply from Editor's side.
So Sir,I am hear by requesting you to inquire in to the matter thoroughly and take action against paper accordingly if circumstances demands so on following points,
(1)For weakening Indian stand on Mumbai terror attack case on international level while bolstering Pakistani position in same case.
(2)For paper's anti-Indian and Pro-Pakistani stand,
For paper's irresponsible behavior,
(3)For violating ethics of journalism and spreading communal tension among Hindus and Muslims,
(4) For publishing unsubstantial reports on matters of National Interests,
For attempting to cause harm to secular fabric of Nation and highly neutral Indian Media
So sir I am demanding quick and fair inquiry in to this matter and exemplary action against Sahara Publication.
regards,
V.V.Joshi

After 26/11 Mumbai Terror attack Rojnama Rashtriya Sahara is consistently publishing the reports of RSS involvement in the attack.Also the publication is contradicting the claims made by External Affairs Ministry as well as Union Home Ministry and Mumbai Police regarding Pakistani involvement in the attack. Here are the fue examples of Rojnama Rashtriya Sahara's claims about Mumbai attack.
1.Mumbai Police: Kasab has been arrested after gunfight with Police in which Insp Ombale died.
What SAHARA says:Kasab has been arrested by Nepal Security forces in Kathmandu 2yrs ago and Indian Intelligence agencies brought him to Mumbai after 26/11 attack.
2.Mumbai Police:Hemant Karkare has been shot dead by Kasab and other militant near Kama hospital.
What SAHARA says: Hemant Karkare was killed by Mumbai Police top brass with the help of Indian Army.
3.Mumbai Police:For Mumbai attack Pakistani groups like Jud and LeT are responsible. What SAHARA says:For Mumbai attack RSS,Narendra Modi,Israeli agency Mossad and America's CIA are responsible.
