Last week CBI busted an illegal FCRA clearance bribe racket consisting of promoters of Omidyar Network India (ONI), brokers, NGOs, and officers in MHA's FCRA division up to an undersecretary level.
Omidyar is another world's top influencer like Fords & Soros who don't.. 1/
..just play around at funding some missionary or hawala network, but controls the proxy power at the govt level. For a teaser, e-bay founder & billionaire, Pierre Omidyar has been accused of toppling the pro-Russia Ukraine govt through a violent protest in 2014. 2/
Established in 2004, Omidyar Network has started investing in 2011 in the groups that are opposed to the Ukraine govt, including digital media. All it took 4 years to achieve their goal.
Doesn't the modus operandi look similar in the Indian context?
3/
As I observed, many ppl assume that it is just a few leftist media portals like News Laundry, Scroll and The Ken that are funded by Omidyar. No.
As I said Omidyar is a next-level investor, they don't fund a few direct beneficiaries but a sustainable ecosystem.
4/
Omidyar has invested in 100+ Indian companies, mostly digital start-ups in education, emerging tech, financial, and property inclusivity up to Rs +3K Cr. What does it mean? Isn't it directly or indirectly access to private data of every aspect of the lives of millions? 5/
Check out these cos. Let's settle it will be an exaggeration to say that they are directly working on the payroll of Omdiyar but at the same time, it will be too 'ostrich approach' to ignore that they don't have to do a bit to oblige their patron. 6/
Now how would one control policy-making? 'Investing' in lawmakers is an obsoleted idea. Like Ford, OSF (Soros), Omidyar also invested in a crucial think tank of policy influencers. A glimpse of a Mint article in 2013 when Omidyar offered millions to CPR. 2014 was Gen election. 7/
The board members of CPR, share other top NGOs like CHRI (that is suspended last month), and CHRI executives have titles in IPF (Indian Police Foundation). All-in-all its just a tip and these clan-of-connections is a complex maze (bhool-bhullaiya).
8/
Before we close know that IITan & former MoS Finance & Civil Avi Jayant Sinha (s/o Yashwant Sinha) has been director of ONI from 2010-13. In fact, he played a pivotal role in estb a network in India. Because of his past connections, his name also popped up in Paradise papers. 9/
It's very unfortunate that on one side MHA is at the cleaning job of these foreign funds networks and on another side few corrupt officials are putting the nation on sale by providing them safe passage without analyzing the long-term consequences.
10/
The mainstream media is almost on the payroll for this or that and won't show the full picture of these networks. Support the efforts of 'The Hawk Eye' to bring many such open source informative write-ups.
Late night in Noida, a plainclothes police team crept into the dark lanes of Nahal- a locality notorious for sheltering criminal elements.
Target: a 24-year-old young auto-theft kingpin - Qadir.
1/🧵
Acting on a tip-off, the team approached quietly, hoping to make a silent arrest. But fate has written something else for all the characters in this story.
As soon as cops approached and he sensed the trap, Qadir raised an alarm (read SOS) hysterically.
2/
Within seconds, Nahal came alive and a mob of "unidentified locals" swarmed in, hurling stones offering a great resistance to the arrest of their local hero.
Amid the chaos, Qadir's man opened fire, hitting Ct. Saurabh Kumar straight in the head.
A mysterious wave of killings has struck key terrorists linked to the terror attacks on Indian soil. Many of them were knocked down deep inside Pakistan.
Hamdard (Rooh Afza maker) claimed that "each glass that you enjoy contributes to the nation building".
This claim is disputed. Let me tell you why!
1/4
To start with Hamdard is a WAQF property since 1948. The owners made some arrangement of keep the company & family running and the part pledged to the God.
The arrangements were made in the name of (a) Khandani Income and (b) Quomi Income
2/
After reserving 1/8 part (ultimately for muwwalis caretakers) of
Khandani Income is for personal (family) needs 1/4th and rest for community). Net net 75% as WAQF charity. In fact Hamdard has taken tax exemption on this Quomi income part.
3/
They made Aurangzeb a 'secular ruler'.
They glorified Khilafat as 'unity'.
But they cleverly erased C. Sankaran Nair - the man who exposed the Truth of Moplah, the burning facts!
#KesariChapter2 #SankaranNair
1/6
A staunch nationalist lawyer, Nair never minced words. He said Congress’ Khilafat obsession led to the mass murder of Hindus in #MoplahMassacre. He documented the violence, the forced conversions.. and the r@pes.
And for that- he was CANCELLED by the Congress 'ecosystem'.
2/
While Congress tiptoed, Nair roared, “This wasn’t a peasant uprising - it was a bloodbath of Hindus!”.
He exposed how Khilafat turned into a cover for communal cleansing.
But speaking up for Hindus = unforgivable sin for Congress. So, they buried him.
