Dynasty acolytes hit back and pointed out, that @INCIndia's existence was intransigencally linked with the Gandhi family. In the last week of April, Veteran Cong leader A K Antony candidly admitted "The Congress cannot exist without the Nehru-Gandhi family". https://www.hindustantimes....
Recently writing in a multi-edition, national English daily, #ManiShankarAiyar, another senior Cong leader observed, "...it is the Gandhis who together constitute the glue, or the bonding adhesive, that keeps the partly together and gives it an all India profile.”
Reports enemating from the 'Shivir' clearly suggest that most of the delegates rejected the G23 line and were with Antony-Aiyar on the leadership issue.
The atmosphere at Udaipur was undoubtedly that of pledging acquiescence to Gandhis. Here comes congressmen aporia – without Gandhis the party can't survive, and with them, it can’t revive. https://www.hindustantimes....

भारत को जख्मी केवल औरंगेजब ने ही नहीं किया। इस जैसे कई इस्लामी आक्रांता थे, जिन्होंने 'काफिर-कुफ्र' अवधारणा से प्रेरित होकर स्थानीय हिंदुओं, बौद्ध-जैन अनुचरों और सिखों को 'मौत या इस्लाम' में से कोई एक चुनने का विकल्प दिया। यह चिंतन आज विश्व शांति के लिए चुनौती बनी हुई है।
वर्ष 712 में जब अरब आक्रांता मोहम्मद बिन कासिम ने सिंध पर हमला करके राजा-दाहिर को परास्त किया, तब उसने गैर-मुस्लिमों को 'जिम्मी/धिम्मी' घोषित करके उनपर शरीयत अनुरूप जीवित रहने हेतु कर (ज़जिया) थोप दिया। इसे कालांतर में कई इस्लामी आक्रांताओं ने लागू किया।
इस घृणा प्रेरित जिहाद को महमूद गजनवी, मुहम्मद गोरी से लेकर गुलाम इस्लामी वंशों आदि ने आगे बढ़ाया। जब बाबर का सामना मेवाड़ शासक राणा सांगा के शौर्य और उनके विशाल सैन्यबल से हुआ, तब उसने अपनी दुर्बल सेना को 'काफिर' हिंदुओं से 'इस्लाम की रक्षा' हेतु जिहाद के लिए प्रेरित किया था।

खंडित भारत सहित भारतीय उपमहाद्वीप में औरंगजेब जैसे पिशाची इस्लामी आक्रांताओं का रक्तरंजित चरित्र और शासनकाल को उनके समकालीन इतिहासकारों और दरबारियों द्वारा लिखे वृतांतों से स्पष्ट है। Image
इस्लामी दरबारी सकी मुस्तईद खान द्वारा लेखबद्ध ‘मासिर-ए-आलमगीरी’ नामक पुस्तक औरंगजेब प्रदत्त क्रूरता की संहिता है, जिसमें इसका स्पष्ट उल्लेख है कि औरंगजेब द्वारा जारी फ़रमान के बाद काशी विश्वनाथ मंदिर को तोड़कर वहां मस्जिद का निर्माण कर दिया गया था... *1/3
*2/3
..और 'काफिर' हिंदुओं के जबरन इस्लाम में मतांतरण का आदेश भी पारित किया था। बात केवल पवित्र काशी तक सीमित नहीं। इसी पुस्तक में मथुरा स्थित प्राचीन केशवराय मंदिर को ध्वस्त करने और श्रीकृष्ण नगरी का नाम इस्लामाबाद करने का भी वर्णन है।

Roughly put, what @INCIndia stands for, is a queer mix of vestigial Gandhism, confused socialism (a washed-out version of outdated Garibi hatao), crony capitalism, and unhinged 'secularism' which oscillates between public display of soft Hindutva (pre-poll temple hopping).. **1/2 Image
**2/2 ... and working with 'tukde tukde' gang (TTG) – pushing its divisive agenda. This conundrum simply can't work. Kanhaiya Kumar's joining the party is a quintessential example, underlining the ideological confusion within Congress.
Kanhaiya Kumar was a member of the National Executive Council of CPI. Communism has failed the world over. In India, its past is punctuated with betrayals against India. During the quit India Movement, CPI collaborated with the colonial rulers and spied against freedom fighters.

.@INCPunjab leader @sunilkjakhar's exit on 19 May, and @HardikPatel_'s acerbic missive to Congress President #SoniaGandhi a day earlier, have paid put to the hopes of the loyalists- expecting an end to the continuing haemorrhaging of talent from the beleaguered party...1/7 https://www.hindustantimes....
2/7 ... - and its revival in the aftermath of three day #udaipurchintanshivir. #HardikPatel's resignation is important: both for it's timing and content. It came about just within days of the conclusion of much-hyped shivir.
3/7
The widely circulated letter brings out the rot in the party in a pithy and forthright manner. Forget the letter's scalding style and lacerating language – probably a result of Patel's accumulated frustration while dealing with an indifferent and blithely leadership. Image

#Pope Honorius I (625-638) was condemned and excommunicated for heresy by the sixth general council in 680. Stephen VI (896-89) had the body of his predecessor Pope Formosus exhumed and put on trial (this is the famous cadaver synod) for his unbecoming conduct during his tenure.
Stephen had Formosa's papal vestments removed and two fingers from his right hand cut off. Formosa's' body was thrown into the Tiber. After the synod, public opinion turned against Stephen. He was deposed in an uprising and strangled to death.
Then there was John-12 (955-964) who died a mysterious death, after having been accused of adultery & turning his pontification into a whore house. However, he had more than his match in Benedict-9 to the only man 2 have served as Pope for 3 discontinuous periods, beginning 1032.

In the 13th century, Pope Gregory IX (#Pope from 1227-1241), believed that cats had Satan himself within them . Following a Papal Bull (essentially laying down #Church doctrine), virtually everyone in Western Europe began to exterminate cats. #Christmas #Christianity
Thousands were accused of #witches or devil worshipers, and either tortured, killed or both. The cat genocide petered out following Gregory death, but the gory tradition remained alive. #Christmas #Christianity
During another witch hunting frenzy in the late 1400s, cats were killed en masse again, as a part of Church’s war against #Satan. Killing of cats on such a massive scale, resulted in a huge increase in rat population in #Europe. #Christmas #Christianity
