Sometimes extraordinary measures need to be adopted to deal with an extraordinary situation. The manner in which the peace was being hijacked by some rioters in different places of Uttar Pradesh after the Friday prayers in mosques was highly disturbing for the common people. There could be no room for any doubt that it was being planned by some and executed by namazis. Yogi government has restored the peace sooner than it was expected by administering the ‘bulldozer medicine’. The preliminary revelations have made it clear that the vicious radical PFI has been responsible for the state-wide trouble. But what is more troublesome is the letter of some former judges of the Supreme Court and the High Courts and some advocates to the Chief Justice of India requesting him to take suo motu cognizance of the use of bulldozers to stop the razing of the houses of the rioters. As far as the identification of culprits is concerned, nobody is expected to know better than them that real culprits m

                          Arun Shourie’s latest book ‘The Commissioner for Lost Causes’ is absolutely boring and insipid, and it does not enlighten in any manner whatsoever. It is an account of the self-righteousness of Arun Shourie. Let it be said that it has unfortunately now become a new trend or fashion for most of the journalist-writers to tom-tom about themselves. In the book, Shourie has reproduced long reports from newspapers, official files or the letters that he had written earlier to buttress his own conclusions. In some places, he has praised Ram Nath Goenka, the owner of the Indian Express Group of newspapers but at many times he has traduced him in his book. Ram Nath Goenka was called RNG by his well-wishers and admirers, however, for workers he was always Lalaji. In the eyes of Shourie, he was intrepid, fearless and courageous till he subserved the interests of this self-styled thinker. But when RNG started reining him in, Shourie brought forth his all demerits of a

  Stone pelting after the Juma Namaz (Friday Prayers) at various places in the country amply demonstrates that some forces, which are inimical to India are actively engaged in hatching a conspiracy to shatter the peace and harmony. This is being done in the name of opposing Nupur Sharma. Demonstrations and gheraos are legitimate rights of the people in our country. Even for peaceful dharna and pradarshan permission from the police is necessary but in such types of orchestrated violence police and other citizens are attacked by Namazis. It is generally believed that after the Namaz, devotees would turn to peaceful self-introspection but here they become violent and target police and the public by pelting stones. This could not have been a spontaneous incident as it happened simultaneously at many places. This was a well-thought plan, which is clear from the fact that stones could not be collected on the spur of the moment. Therefore, to maintain law and order and to restore the confiden

  One wonders why some intellectuals in India and some governments of tiny Islamic countries are up in arms over what Nupur Sharma said in a TV debate. She might have naturally gotten infuriated over the extreme provocation by some panellists over Shivlingfound at Gyanvapi of Varanasi but what she had said about Prophet is fully countenanced by the Islamic scriptures. She even quoted the source of what she said. But what is strange is that instead of providing any logical reply to what she said, some people started blaming her for blasphemy. Imam Mohammad Al- Bukhari is considered to be one of the most distinguished scholars of Hadith in Islamic history. His book Sahih al-Bukhari contains the words, actions, and habits of Prophet Mohammad. This book says that the ProphetMohammad married Aisha when she was six years old, and he consummated his marriage when she was nine-year-old. Many people think that the Arab world got annoyed with India for what with she said in the TV debate. B

   It is reported that communal violence broke out in Kanpur as some people after offering Namaz in a mosque started pelting stones at shops in the locality to protest against the assertions of BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma about Prophet Mohammad in a TV debate. They say it is blasphemy to speak against the Prophet Mohammad even if it is based on the proofs of their own scriptures, thus leaving no scope for any discourse or dialogue. Many FIRs have also been lodged against her under sections 295A, 153A and 505B of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) at many places for what she has said.   Ms Sharma alleges that she has been receiving death and rape threats on social media after a "so-called fact-checker" circulated a heavily edited video from one of her recent debates on a TV channel on the Gyanvapi case. Be that as it may, the most perplexing question is why should a healthy debate be not allowed even in the first quarter of the twenty-first century and why the Maulvis are not iss
