‘Govt. ban order defied, misused’
The Jammu and Kashmir police on Monday lodged a First Information Report against locals for using social media platforms on virtual private networks (VPNs).
Representational Picture “Taking a serious note of the misuse of social media, the Cyber Police Station, Kashmir Zone, Srinagar, has registered an FIR against various social media users, who defied the government orders and misused the social media platforms,” a Srinagar-based police spokesman said on Monday.
Representational Picture ‘Unlawful activities’
The police said there were continuous reports of misuse of social media sites by miscreants “to propagate the secessionist ideology and to promote unlawful activities”.
The FIR has been registered while taking cognisance of the social media posts by miscreants by using different VPNs, which are propagating rumours with regard to the current security scenario in the Kashmir valley, secessionist ideology and glorifying terrorists, the police said.
Representational Picture ‘Incriminating material’
“A lot of incriminating material has also been seized in this regard,” the spokesman said.The case is registered under FIR No. 01 of 2020 U/S 13 U A (P) Act, 188, 505 of IPC and 66-A(b) of the IT Act.
“I appeal to the general public not to use social media via VPNs,” Inspector General of Police Vijay Kumar said.
The J&K government had on January 14 banned all social media sites. The ban, the government said, was to curb the misuse of sites by miscreants for propagating false information “having the effect of causing social instability”.

West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday alleged that nationalised banks and post offices were being “used” by the Centre in her state to collect data in order to “manipulate” the CAA-NRC-NPR

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday alleged that nationalised banks and post offices were being “used” by the Centre in her state to collect data in order to “manipulate” the CAA-NRC-NPR.
Banerjee made the accusation while addressing an administrative meeting here, and said such survey by central government undertakings must “stop immediately”, without elaborating where and when such an exercise happened,officials said.
Banerjee said surveys are being done without the state government’s permission.
“The banks and post offices are doing this without taking the name of BJP…they are visiting houses to conduct the survey. They cannot do this without the state government’s permission… do not give any information to anyone.
“We will not allow this. We have to strongly handle this,” she told top state officials at the meeting.
She also cited the incident of a group of BJP workers visiting a jewellery shop in Habra in North 24 Parganas district and asking for documents allegedly connected to the CAA and NRC, and asked people to drive away any such people.
“Today, I saw news on television that a group of around 15 BJP people went to a jewellery shop in Habra and demanded that they show papers required for CAA and NRC. Who has given them the authority to do this?
“Just drive away such people….don’t believe if they tell you they are from the government,” she said.
Meanwhile, an FIR has been registered with Habra police station in connection with the alleged incident.

11 anti-CAA protesters in UP asked to sign bonds
Source: National Herald
The district administration in Sambhal has issued notices to 11 persons, participating in anti-CAA protests, asking them to sign a personal bond of ₹50 lakh each with an undertaking that they would not indulge in any disruptive activities.
The notices have been sent under Section 111 of CrPC (magistrate order against any person who is likely to commit a breach of peace) on the basis of a police report.
Nakhasa Sub-Divisional Magistrate Rajesh Kumar said: “The 11 persons have been told in the notices that police suspect that they may get involved in violence and therefore a personal bond of Rs 50 lakh and two sureties for the same amount should be taken from each of them.”
He added that the notices would be sent to 24 other people soon.
According to the police, around 500 women are staging a protest round-the-clock at a farm near Hussaina Bagh in Nakhasa police station area since last month.
Station House Officer (SHO) Nakhasa police station, Devendra Singh Dhama said that the police have also registered an FIR against unidentified persons under IPC sections 188 (Disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant) and 505 (statement conducing public mischief) but no arrests have been made in the case yet.
Dhama added that a few days ago, a report mentioning names of 36 people was sent to the district administration, requesting that these persons should be told to sign a bond to ensure that peace would be maintained under section 107/116 of CrPC.
“Among these are women protesters and men helping them. We prepared a list on the basis of a preliminary inquiry,” said Dhama.
Two persons died and several were injured in a protest against the new citizenship law in Sambhal on December 19 and 20 last year. As many as 12 FIRs were registered in connection with the violence and 43 people were arrested. Some of the accused have been released on bail.
Earlier, on Monday, the Aligarh administration forfeited the security of Rs 1 lakh each of four students of Aligarh Muslim University who had earlier signed similar bonds.

WATCH: Congress MP Viplove Thakur’s speech in Rajya Sabha that shook Modi Govt
Source: National Herald
Rajya Sabha on Thursday witnessed a heated exchange of words between treasury benches and the members of Congress. Congress MP Viplove Thakur was speaking on the motion of thanks on the President’s address in Rajya Sabha. The Congress MP is known for her fiery and erudite speeches. Her address in the Rajya Sabha will be remembered for her candid and open jibe at the prime minister and the functioning of the government. She reminded of the old women of Shaheen Bagh when she courageously asked those who interrupted her to be quiet and listen to her.
Congress MP Viplove Thakur while addressing the Rajya Sabha said “Vajpayee used to speak against Pandit Nehru in the Lok Sabha, he was not called a traitor. Today anybody who speaks against your Prime Minister, your home minister, their policies, they become traitors.”
“Today you are sitting here, travel by aircraft, who gave all this? Who made these? The schools, colleges and universities that are there today, who built these? Who made the IITs? Who made the IIMs? Today, you are seen in them, but what have you done in six years? You have only tried to break India, tried to divide India, you have done nothing else, said Thakur.
“I want to ask, you have a lot of knowledge of history, you tell us who called Mohammed Ghori? Who asked him to attack Delhi? Who was Jaichand? When Maharana Pratap was fighting in Haldighati, which king helped him to battle against Akbar? Only the Bhils stood with Maharana Pratap.”
“Today I want to ask the definition of a traitor. What is the definition of a traitor? Who is called a traitor? I remember when the Communist Party did not accept India’s Independence, it was banned for four years, but Nehru did not call them traitors, the government did not call them traitors. Vajpayee used to speak against Pandit Nehru in the Lok Sabha, he was not called a traitor. Today anybody who speaks against your Prime Minister, your home minister, their policies, they become traitors. Put them in jail, catch them. You are not even sparing 6-year-old children. What will you do?,” said the Rajya Sabha MP
“We did not name Pakistan as many times in 70 years as they are doing in six years. Our mahanayika (Indira Gandhi) had split Pakistan into two parts, divided it. They are today scaring in the name of Pakistan and otherwise say, ‘We are very strong’. For everything Pakistan, for everything Pakistan. Why? What is it? Is it related to you? Yes, you did go to Lahore to have biryani (referring to Modi’s surprise Lahore trip on Nawaz Sharif’s birthday). Congress doesn’t feed it. You went without invitation and are now talking.”
“You say that the European Union has no right to speak, to bring a resolution, then why did you bring their MPs here, why did you take them to Kashmir? You yourself invited them. You yourself internationalised it. You yourself called them and others to interfere, others did not call them. As long as our governments were there, nobody dared to even cast a harmful eye on our country. All these, you people have done. To hide your misdeeds….,” said Thakur
“I say to you, don’t divide this country, keep this country’s unity intact. The people that are there in this country are here for ages, they have not come today. Pakistan and Bangladesh, those are Islamic countries, what is there to say about them? We are secular, we believe in dharma. Which dharma are you talking about? Which Ram are you talking about? The one who to keep his maryada had listened to the people? Heeding the people, he sent Sita into exile and you don’t even want to talk (to the people protesting on the streets). What Ram Rajya are you talking about? Who do you worship? Build a temple, definitely build it, but also follow his ideals. Also follow what he said. Just talking will not do, making lofty speeches will not do.”

“We Tried Our Best, But….”: BJP’s Gautam Gambhir On Delhi Result
Delhi Election 2020: Delhi saw a bitter election campaign revolving around the Shaheen Bagh protest against the citizenship law.
Source: NDTV
Highlights
- BJP MP Gautam Gambhir won his debut election from East Delhi last year
- BJP tried its best but “could not convince people”: Gautam Gambhir
- “We accept Delhi election results, congratulate Arvind Kejriwal,” he said
New Delhi: BJP leader Gautam Gambhir this afternoon said that his party has conceded defeat in Delhi where Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party is headed for a massive win as counting of votes proceeds for high-stakes assembly elections. The BJP tried its best but “could not convince people” of the national capital, the cricketer-turned politician, who won his debut election from east Delhi last year, said and congratulated Mr Kejriwal.
“We accept Delhi election results and
congratulate Arvind Kejriwal and
the people of Delhi,” the 38-year-old
BJP MP told news agency ANI“We tried our best but, probably, we could not convince the people of the state. I hope Delhi develops under the chief ministership of Arvind Kejriwal,” Mr Gambhir said.
The remark by Mr Gambhir – who had defeated AAP’s Atishi Marlena last year in Lok Sabha elections in east Delhi – came hours after Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari had said that his party would come to power after winning “up to 55 seats” in the 70-member assembly.
“We will win 48-plus seats. I will not be surprised even if we win 55,” Manoj Tiwari told reporters this morning, rejecting exit poll predictions of AAP winning a third straight term. The BJP was believed to have banked on a last-minute surge in voting, which, the party felt, would have worked in its favour.
As counting of votes proceeded and the AAP headed for a two-thirds majority, Mr Tiwari later urged his party workers to “not be disheartened”.
