#TeestaSetalvad: Gulbarg society residents had filed a complaint against the activist, her husband Javed Anand & her NGOs Sabrang Trust & Citizens For Justice & Peace.
Funds collected for reconstruction of their homes & #GujaratRiots Memorial were diverted for personal expenses.
March 2013 complaint filed. Gujarat police took 10 months to file an FIR. Gujarat Police wanted arrest for custodial interrogation. The powerful ecosystem is alleged to have tried every trick in the trade to avoid joining investigation in such a serious case of funds embezzlement
High Court had said Teesta Setalvad was not cooperating in probe. Funds collected to build *Museum of Resistance*
Gujarat police probe reveals purchase of wine, whisky & Rum were billed under *Secular Education* & legal aid expenses. Husband too claimed sanitary pad reimbursement

RB Sreekumar, former Gujarat top cop, accused of fabricating evidence in #Gujaratriots case is also accused of framing #ISRO scientist Nambi Narayanan in a false espionage case.
The year was 1994.
Sreekumar was then working as Dy Dir Subsidiary Intelligence Bureau (SIB) in Kerala
Narayanan was working on the cryogenic engine technology at #ISRO. He was falsely accused of selling top secret documents to foreign handlers including in #Pak. The aim was to arrest The scientist & sabotage India's efforts to make cryogenic engine.
The scientists were *tortured*
The High Court said there was not even a *scintilla of evidence* regarding the scientists being influenced by any foreign power.
Supreme Court in 2018 said the case against Nambi Narayanan was malicious & awarded a compensation of Rs 50 lakh. Narayanan was a successful scientist

#TeestaSetalvad arrested. #RBSreekumar arrested.
After #SupremeCourt upheld the clean chit to then CM now PM @narendramodi action initiated against those who ran a malicious campaign after the Gujarat riots. RB Sreekumar has some answers to give in the ISRO case too. #IndiaFirst
How fake narrative was built & peddled in #GujaratRiots2002.
Naroda Patiya case: fake narrative pimped about womb of pregnant woman being ripped open & fetus taken out.
Post mortem report exposed lies. Fetus in womb. No sword attack. Stellar report by @UdayMahurkar in @IndiaToday
Dr JS Kanoria who conducted the post mortem on Kausar Bano on Mar 2, 2002: the fetus was intact in the womb. The woman had died of burn injuries in riots.
(Did anyone except @UdayMahurkar bring out facts of #GujaratRiots2002. Multiple instances of fake narrative on riots pimped.)

Maryada Purshottam Shri Ram.
Yogeshwar Shri Krishna.
Rameshwar Bhagwan Shiv.
Why are temples at Ayodhya, Mathura & Kashi important? some friends asked wondering what the entire controversy about reclaiming places of worship is all about.
Most didn't know the significance at all.
Are we actually so cut off from our history, culture & religion?
Do others have the same question about Mecca or Vatican or Jerusalem?
It is a historical fact the followers of religion that originated in India have been ruled by those following religions that originated elsewhere
Systematically over centuries have we forgotten the significance of our spiritual & religious centres incl #Ayodhya #Mathura & #Kashi? Babur invaded in 1526 & some of his cruel bigoted successors incl Aurangzeb are said to have destroyed & desecrated many of our places of worship

After close to 2 months in #Ukraine signing off. No end in sight to the #Russia Ukraine War. A beautiful country & lovely hard working people stare at an uncertain future. Lives & homes shattered, a country devastated. Russia will keep trying to inch forward from Donbas to Dnipro ImageImageImageImage
17 Feb we landed at #boryspil Airport before the war started on Feb 24. #Ukraine was preparing well for defence of #Kyiv. Fought hard in #Mariopul & #Kharkiv. But lacks effective air power. Air defence resources are not infinite. Longer conflict lasts more Ukraine stands to lose.
The sinking of #Moskva is the biggest blow to #Russian prestige after failing to take #Kyiv. Both defence of Kyiv & sinking of Moskva show Ukraine's resolve & Russia's shortcomings in coordinated multi dimensions military operations.Major failure both of intelligence & Operations

Rules framed in 2004. Created issue only in 31 Dec 2021: Yashpal, school management at #Udupi. No #Hijab worn in classrooms. In earlier school also the girls were not wearing #Hijab. Uniform Rules were in place. PTA, management, Principal together in forming rules. @IndiaToday
Dec 31 girls came wearing #Hijab. Before that no Hijab worn. We have pictures. No #Hijab worn in class. Issue created by vested interests. Some started wearing Hijab & became like activists. 965 students. 90 Muslims. Only 6 Muslim students created issues: Yashpal to @nabilajamal
Because of 6 students, 959 students are facing a problem. School has rules. We have told the 6 protesting students there will be no compromise on rules in Government rules in a Government school: Yaspal. #Udupi is an education hub. #NoHijabRule stays. They can go to any school.
