Former VP Hamid Ansari’s statement that he never met Pak Jorno Mirza is now rebutted. Its a bit of a story. Explaining chronology -
Mirza claimed he was invited by then VP Ansari to attend a conf & therefore the collected actionable intel at conf was provided back to ISI.
1/
Ansari refused the claims and said he never invited, in fact invitation is job of MEA & organiser & he never met Mirza. He inaugurated 11-12-2010 conference named “Int Conf Jurist on Int Terr & human rights.”
Entire INC family then aim the gun at organiser.
Now the orgnzr of that Dec-10 event Adv Aggarwala has issued big statement & exposed lies & twists played here. He said Ansari indeed insisted to invite Mirza but orgnzr didn’t and that made Ansari upset to cut down his attendance at the event. Read excerpts- 3/
ExVP Ansari deliberately mentioned Dec-2010 event where Mirza wasn’t event invited but then there was another event orgzed by Jama Masjid United Forum on 27-10-2009 where various Indian M leaders & Mirza also attended this conf held in Delhi. Read excerpts- 4/
Adv Aggarwal even shared a picture from Jama Masjid United Forum event and urged govt to inquire the matter as pertaining to national security. 5/
ExVP Ansari also boast about his decorated tenure as Iran ambassador in his statement , where his non-cooperative behaviour was affirmed by many ex R&AW officials. Thread on same👇🏼 6/
Teesta received ₹30L at behest of Late Ahmed Patel, then advisor to INC Prez Sonia Gandhi. Top cops Sreekumar & Sanjiv Bhatt were part of conspiracy to target then CM Modi. 1/
Teesta's received funds from Ford as well. This is all against a CM. Evidently INC, corrupts offcls & Int'l lobbies had their "risk assessment", if Modi rise upto national level.
After 12yrs it eventually happened.
2/
Ford gave task based assignment to Teesta (left) and this is what investigation said (right). 3/
An official said to ToI that data is removed "because it does not serve any purpose".
No Sir! It DOES lot purpose and in fact, many freelance investigations have given sleepless nights to many. Giving such free-hand to these NGOs may not be a good move.
MHA has done great in this domain by filtering out thousands of bogus NGOs & restricting many int'natal biggies from fueling unrest in the country by funding through NGOs.
MHA should rather encourage transparency and public scrutiny.
If any accuse’s body language, background etc is meaningful to the case, competent agencies will find out. Im sure they must have basic one which required for documentation.
Rest is fiction, unless suggested by authorities.
Also, and very important..
1/
as matter of principle, during research, even if by chance you come across any detail of individual or org which is irrelevant to the subject, it should not be published.
2/
Diverting from subject & wandering around unwanted terrain is not just waste of time & resources but unethical as well.
Core of threads/work must stick to analysis and facts but not sensationalism of any kind.
3/
Former VP Hamid Ansari came to fore yet another controversial reason. A Pak journalist Mirza boast about receiving invitation from Ansari to visit India. Mirza shared “intel” back to Pak collected during visit & ISI took “action” accordingly.
Ex R&AW RK Yadav mentioned .. 1/
in his book “Mission R&AW” that Ansari, who was serving as Indian ambassador in Tehran, was not cooperative when a R&AW staff Kapoor was kidnapped. The matter got boil upto the stage that wives of staff members had to barged in Ansari’s office to seek his action. Read excerpt: 2/
Ultimately an another official dialed SOS in Delhi and then after intervention of then LoP Vajpayee ji, who immediately talked to then PM PVNRao, Iranian officials released Kapoor but not before torturing him in this period. Kapoor didn’t divulge any details. Read- 3/
While India’s defence exports crossed ₹13K Cr mark, even better news is that India launched 75 AI based defence products.
Use of AI & tech is rapidly increasing in applications like training, surveillance & integrated arms.
1/
In similar context, changing forms of new age warfare, cyber defence plays pivotal role & that’s why CIA brought new position CTO in May’22 as Nand Mulchandani who is a serial start up entrepreneur in state-of-the-art technology domain. 2/
India also formed DCA (Defence Cyber Agency) in 2019 under leadership of CDS Rawat who was always vocal about the transformation in modern warfare. However, not much heard about the unit after integration. Hope the things are moving.

A Weibo group chat is being circulated in Japanese media that a Chiense user was referring “completing the task” about Abe yesterday. While many SM chats affirmed that China is in celebration mode, this chat could be just a “joke” or much more than that. 1/
In any case after the latest video of assassination of ex PM is surfaced, it exposed many security lapses. a) Some reports suggested one shot hit the neck while another back, but from new video it looks like first shot was missed & there was crucial 3 seconds gap before next.
2/
b) At least 3 security personnels were near to ex PM, who made fail attempt to place themselves in between attacker & ex PM. They could have shield him.
c) a 360° exposed location without secured perimeter is dangerous idea
