Faizal Khan (aka Khan Sir) has recently made several comments in an attempt to downplay the vision and achievements of the Modi government.

Let us look closely at the truth behind some of the comments:

(1/n) Image
No need for 2047 ‘Viksit Bharat’ vision

In one of the podcasts, Khan Sir claimed that the vision to transform India into a developed nation (Vikshit Bharat) by 2047, i.e. 100 years of Independence, is a 'political gimmick'.

(2/n)
It is clearly difficult for individuals with a limited outlook and myopic vision to imagine the transformation of India into a developed nation.

Without a clear vision, no goal has ever been achieved.

PM Modi's innate ability to think about the country's future progress has ushered India into an era of economic development.

Our economy is now the 4th largest in the world. In the last 11 years, it has witnessed a 109% increase.

Faizal Khan could possibly have never imagined in 2014. And hence, he lacks the ability to envision India's development in the next 22 years.

Date of incident: 4th Sep 2024

A Hindu boy named Utsab Mandal was almost lynched to death after he was accused of committing 'blasphemy' on Facebook by a Muslim mob.

The victim was assaulted in the presence of the police and severely injured. He booked under the Cyber Security Act and arrested after his discharge from the hospital.

No action was taken against those who attacked the Hindu boy.

Date of incident: 7th Sep 2024

Islamic extremists painted a target on a Hindu student named Kankan Biswas by claiming that he made ‘objectionable remarks’ about Islam.

Muslim students, studying at the Jessore University of Science and Technology, held a ‘protest march’ against Biswas and demanded his trial over alleged ‘blasphemy’.

They labelled the Hindu student as ‘Kulangar‘ (disgrace) and demanded his immediate expulsion from the varsity.

The TMC govt is leaving no stone unturned to turn the life of a 22-year-old college student, Sharmishta Panoli, into a ‘living hell.’

It is doing so to appease its Muslim vote bank, which has taken serious offence to the victim's video targeting Pakistan.

Mamata Banerjee, in an act of clear overreach, sent its police force 1500 km away to Gurgaon to arrest the young Hindu girl and bring her to Kolkata.

A local court rejected her bail petition and sent her to judicial custody for 2 long weeks.

According to the victim’s lawyer, Sharmishta is not doing well physically amid unhygienic conditions at the Alipore women correctional home.

In the meantime, the police force and the TMC govt turned a blind eye to the rape, death and ‘Sar Tan se Juda’ threats unleashed against Sharmishta Panoli online by Muslim social media users.

A few examples are included here -

Do you remember the story of a Kolkata-based doctor who 'denied' treatment to a Muslim patient over the Pahalgam terror attack?

Turns out it was fake news.

It was peddled by The Quint, Maktoob Media & others to create the narrative of 'Muslim victimhood'

(1/n) Image
A Kolkata-based gynaecologist named Dr Champakali Sarkar was falsely accused of not treating a patient named Kangkona Khatun due to her religion.

It was claimed that Dr Champakali Sarkar, who works at the Kasturi Das Memorial Super Speciality Hospital, refused treatment to Kangkona Khatun because she was a Muslim.

(2/n)Image
The Quint attributed these statements to Dr Champakali Sarkar –

“People from your religion are killing people from my religion, you people are murderers.”

“Your husband should be killed by Hindus so you can feel the pain that Hindus went through. You should only go to Madrassas and Masjids for your treatment where Muslims are taught to become terrorists.”

There is no iota of evidence that these statements were actually made.

Hindus have suffered unspeakable atrocities in the Murshidabad district of West Bengal.

Their houses have been burnt, livelihoods destroyed, water poisoned and more. Many Hindus had to flee to save their lives.

🧵Here are 12 videos that capture the horror of Murshidabad Image
“We have come here with a lot of pain… We do not have a house or a roof over our heads. Everything has been set on fire. They (Muslims) doused our house with petrol, held a knife to our throats and poisoned our water tanks. How do we survive now,”

- A destitute woman who has now fled Murshidabad told ABP Ananda.

One Hindu man recounted how he returned home to find his house turned into ashes. “I couldn’t take out anything…I do not have anything anymore,” he said as he broke down in tears.

The Hindu man pointed out that the attackers are locals and that they have destroyed over 150 vehicles.

(2/n)
One Hindu woman said that bombs were being hurled in Murshidabad, prompting her to flee her home.

Another woman said, “They told us that Modi passed the Bill (Waqf Amendment), and so we will not allow any Hindus to live here.”

“They (Muslims) are talking about raping mothers of Hindus, vandalising and looting our houses. They have taken away our gold ornaments and other valuable and set our houses on fire,” she pointed out.

“They have burnt every single Hindu house in the area. Muslims are supporting this arson. Our children are starving, women are being threatened with weapons, Muslims are committing atrocities.”
