@rohini_sgh RKW Developers Ltd, a company at the heart of a probe by the ED for carrying out transactions with and buying properties from the late Iqbal Memon alias Iqbal Mirchi – an accused in the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts – gave money to the ruling party.

thewire.in/politics/bjp-d…
@rohini_sgh According to the BJP’s filings with the Election Commission, in 2014-15, RKW, gave Rs 10 crore to the party.

No individual company donating on its own has given the party more than what RKW gave it.

As the Right Wing celebrates #94YearsofRSS, here's a quick look into what the organisation really stands for.

1. Throughout India's freedom struggle, the RSS was subservient to the British, with its leadership prohibiting participation in mass movements.
thewire.in/history/rss-hi…
According to the biography of Hedgewar, the founder of the RSS, when Gandhi launched the Salt Satyagraha in 1930, he “sent information everywhere that the Sangh will not participate in the Satyagraha.'
A year-and-a-half after the Quit India movement, the Bombay govt of the British Raj noted with satisfaction, that “the Sangh has scrupulously kept itself within the law, and in particular, has refrained from taking part in the disturbances that broke out in August 1942.”

A precise & a hard hitting analysis by @DilliDurAst on the state of #IndianMuslim

Pushed to the edge, young Indian Muslims are asked to not react

It’s not just about the new citizenship law or NRC. The pent-up anger among Indian Muslims is giving way

theprint.in/opinion/pushed…
Over the past six years, Indian Muslims have shown incredible patience in the face of extreme provocation. That’s been a problem for Hindutva forces, because how do you manufacture Hindu victimhood if Muslims take provocation silently? Simple: you manufacture the violent Muslim.
Every day, Hindutva hate factories manufacture false stories of Muslims taking to violence & anti-Hindu speech. Cooked up stories of Muslims clashing with tribal people in Bihar over land for namaz; add false captions to old, unrelated videos saying Muslims are taking to violence
