Hundreds of students protesting against the killing of an engineering student of the varsity ransacked and set afire the Vice Chancellor P K Abdul Aziz's residence, police said, adding the Vice-Chancellor was not present at his residence when the incident took place.

According to sources, Mazhar Naeem, a BSC engineering student and resident of Aftab hostel, was attacked near his hostel by unidentified persons late last night.
Naeem was rushed to the Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College where he was declared brought dead, sources said.
AMU spokesman Dr Rahat Abrar said that the motive behind the killing of the student has not yet been ascertained and is being investigated.

In May, then vice-chancellor Naseem Ahmad was about to complete his tenure. Therefore, in April, he had to complete the process of empanelling his successor. But he reportedly came under tremendous pressure from different lobbies among the AMU employees, who were pushing for their own candidates for VC. Ahmad could not withstand these pressures and quit AMU in the first week of April.
After he left, two murders took place (in the first and last week of April). There seemed to be no reason for the murders of seemingly innocent students.
There were murmurs inside the university that the murders were intended to create turmoil on the campus so that opinion could be mobilised to empanel a civil servant (not an academic) as the next VC.
However, in May, P K Abdul Azis, an academic and then vice-chancellor of the Cochin University of Science and Technology, was appointed VC. This move was resented by many AMU staffers. Outlook magazine published a report questioning Azis's academic credentials, which further affected his acceptability.

I have heard that Wahabis in the Kingdom burn copies of the Qu'raan Sharif to signal their absolute non-worship of any symbol.
Is this true? If so, is there any link? I wonder how our native converted pious idiots would react to seeing the Most Exalted Book being Ha' laal' ed by the best among believers. Of course, an Indian muslim has to go to the Land of the Holy Defiled Temples (the Haraam Mosques), film the scenes himself, and show the film to his brethren back in India. If anybody else does the job, our charming little lightbulbs will use their Allah-given logic and start burning Hindu shops.
Truly, the Arabs are the real Muslims. No one believes the Molester's Holy S*it as much as them. Hindu converts - be they recent additions to the Religion of Peace or people forced to convert by the Blessed Babur - are fragile; they have to keep convincing themselves that their entire life is not a big spiritual waste, since occasional application of the native Hindu brain that they have must be giving them glimpses of the rank inferiority of islam to the sublime Dharma that the peaceful true Hindus (i.e., the ones the converts and psecs call "the RSS-types") around them practice. But the Arabs, no. With them its always "Let me now wash. Then I will bray. Then I will eat. Then I will *art, facing away from the site of the Pilgrimage. Then I will sleep. Then I will wake up.

Muslim Riot is not about Tasleema, It is about Hindu civilization
11/23/2007 2:53:50 AM Kalyanaraman
Muslim riot in Kolkata is not about Tasleema, it is about hindu civilization; it is about hindu civilization's response to the festering muslim problem
CPI-M's muslim appeasement has led to the situation of cries in the city of joy.
CPI-M has created a monster and has no clue on how to contain it
The killing fields of Nandigram will not go away. Every raped child crying there will come to haunt the marxists and Antonia who has acquiesed in the killings of Nandigram by marxist criminals called cadre.
Shahjahan Laskar and Selim Laskar of such a cadre in Nandigram, do not represent the muslim face of the marxists. They just represent the criminal gangs (imported, paid goons, mercenaries and) engaged as the party cadre to seek revenge against the 'others'. After all, Buddha has clearly shown who are 'ours' in his lexicon; the 'ours' are CPI-M members. Rest are lumpen to be criminally assaulted by criminals as the state law enforcement apparatus is kept aside as silent idiots, mere paid servants of the state party combine, where the distinction between the party dada and the state authority operating under the figleaf of the idiot 'law', which is an ass, is totally erased. Constitution? It is scrap in the marxist book.
The next step is for Buddha to quit and yield power to the chosen few among the muslim bandhu, like the All-India Minorities Forum, Maulana Toha Siddiqui of Furfurasharif Muzaddedia Anath Foundation, Qaumi Awaz Welfare Society, Milli Ittehad Parishad, Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind or even the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen's MLAs of distant Hyderabad who tried to attack Tasleema, whose self-appointed role as guardians of islam is what will dictate their priority issues and the CPI-M's ideological subservience to the shariat.
When the lumpen rule, the lumpen call the shots using Buddha's of the world as blundering idiots falling deeper and deeper into chaos losing the fig-leaf of the so-called power won in the ballot.
Remember history. West Bengal is broken off from Bangladesh -- both are bangla-bhaashi. The area where the city of joy started weeping and held in terror requiring army marches is full of voters from Bangladesh who are captive vote-bank for the marxists.
Where Buddhas and Karats goofed up is in not realising that 46% of the population of Nandigram was muslim and many Nandigrami-s including muslims, were thrown out of their homes.
Muslim problem will continue to haunt Bharatam. None of the politico-s have any clue as to how to resolve the impossible problem of many ongoing attempts at positing islamic nation vis-a-vis democratic bharatam.
Will the Buddha start telling the muslims crying for Tasleema's expulsion that both Tasleema and criers are descendants of hindu pitr-s? Yes, pitr-s who existed much before the Prophet (PBUH)? Even Pakistan proudly claims in archaeological circles that it has a 5000 year history from Mohenjodaro (not mentioning that it was part of Sarasvati Hindu civilization). Of course, a fatwa may be issued on those who claim that muslims had a history before PBUH. Is there a way to transport the muslim psyche beyond the Prophet chronology into the mists of history where all were hindu?
Once the muslims realise that they have common bonds with the hindu though of a lineage running back into more than jnaati or 7 seven generations, that the people of Bangladesh and West Bengal, for instance, speak the same sonar Bangla language, maybe there is hope? If hopes are dupes, fears are liars. Maybe, a civilization has to restore its identity based on some hope. The problem will not go away, by thinking it will cease to exist by just turning a Nelson's eye to it.

It is the unscrupulous so-called secular politicians who are responsible for creating 'the monster'.Today,some jihadi allegedly 'admitted' to planning the kidnap of Rahul Gandhi,after garlanding him with grenades! This may be a ploy to win 'sympathy' for the'heir-apparent', and also to give him special protection at the tax-payers' expense!That whole family of Italian Sonia are enjoying VVIP status at the cost of the Indian tax-payer.Let Sonia pay for the 'security' for her children and son-in-law. Otherwise let them face the jihadis, who are the products of the 'minority communal politics' of Sonia and her ilk.While 'overtly' supporting muslims, Sonia 'covertly' promotes Christians, with the ultimate aim of christianizing India.Poor Taslima is only an excuse for jihadis wanting to show off their clout with the spineless politicians.

Yes, Secular India has deveolped a monster - the monster of muslim aggressive assertiveness. Hindus are helpless spectators of this development. If and when some of the Hindus raise even their little finger in resistance, that finger
(and more) would be cut off by the print and broadcast media. The feeling Hindus are too few and too disunited to put up any effective fight against the rise and spread of vicious Muslim communalism.I am not optimistic about the fate of Hindus even in India.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--><b>City court to scrutinise CBI request to close 1984 anti-Sikh pogrom case </b>
Staff Reporter | New Delhi
Tough times loom ahead for former Union Minister Jagdish Tytler as the CBI decision to close the case of the 1984 anti-Sikh pogrom against him is likely to be scrutinised by a city court.
<b>The court on Thursday sought the address of a crucial witness, declared 'untraceable' by the CBI, for possible deposition</b>.
The CBI in its chargesheet on September 29 had claimed that Jasbir Singh, who had allegedly heard Tytler inciting a mob to kill Sikhs, could not be examined as he was currently settled in the USA, and his whereabouts were not known.
On October 4, the Delhi Gurdwara Management Committee and November '84 Carnage Justice Committee had moved an application seeking a copy of the said chargesheet, so as to aid them in filing a petition against the agency's claim.
<b>Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (ACMM) Sanjeev Jain directed senior counsel H S Phoolka, representing the Sikh bodies to furnish Singh's address as he claimed that the witness had expressed a desire to record his testimony in the case.</b>
"As I understand, you rely upon the testimony of Jasbir Singh. Give me his address and I would direct the CBI to trace him," the ACMM said, while directing the counsel to furnish the address on December 6. However, The court expressed doubt as to whether Singh's attendance could be ensured.
To this, the counsel said that the witness had expressed his desire to present himself before the court, and hence there was no ground for any apprehension.
<b>According to the chargesheet filed by the CBI, Singh in his affidavit to the Nanavati Commission on August 31, 2000 had averred that he had overheard Tytler rebuking his men on the night of November 3, 1984 ... For nominal killing of Sikhs in his constituency. </b>
The court, however, did not accede to the request of the counsel for copy of the chargesheet. It had issued a notice to the agency on application of counsel. The CBI raised its objections submitting there was no provision in law, which entitled a third party such copies.
"I am not inclined to accede to the counsel's plea (seeking a copy of the chargesheet). The counsel had sufficient time to inspect the file between October 4 and today...," the judge said.
The CBI, in its reply filed also said that the investigation in the case was conducted after taking into account all aspects, including the conspiracy angle.
The case relates to an incident on November 1, 1984 in the aftermath of the assassination of then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, when a mob had set on fire Gurdwara Pulbangash, killing three persons.
As per the agency's chargesheet, while the incident left three persons dead, Sardar Thakur Singh, Badal Singh and Gurcharan Singh, the bodies of two of them were found in burnt conditions and were subjected to a post-mortem.
The case, which was registered on the basis of affidavits filed before the Nanavati Commission of Inquiry, involved Congress leader Jagdish Tytler.

RAJEEV PI
Posted online: Wednesday, April 26, 2006 at 0000 hrs IST
KOCHI, APRIL 25
The judicial commission probing Keralaâs worst communal massacre in Marad in 2003 has severely indicted almost every arm of the Congress-led United Democratic Front Government: politicians, police officers and top bureaucrats.
It has also found that the massacre was a planned conspiracy involving extremist organizations, including those funded from abroad, organisations, it said, successive state governments have used to cultivate âvote banks.â
<b>And that at least one senior politician belonging to the Muslim League, part of the ruling Congress-led front, had advance knowledge of the conspiracy.</b>
The report of the commission, set up in 2004 and headed by District Judge Thomas P Joseph, has been kept under wraps by the state government which received it two months ago. It has been accessed by The Indian Express.
The report asks the state governmentâwhich declined to allow a CBI probeâto hand over the investigation to a special investigation team. Its reason: the state police not only botched up investigation, it planted false leads and avoided looking at the wider conspiracy.
Marad, a sleepy fishing village off Kozhikode, hit headlines on January 3, 2002 when Hindu and Muslim extremist elements were quick to hijack what began as a trivial altercation over drinking water at the public tap.
A couple of Hindus and three Muslims lay dead the morning after.
This was the first communal eruption in this village of 275 Hindu and 191 Muslim families. The police did round up a few men, almost all were found to belong to mainstream political groups, Congress, CPI(M), BJP and the Muslim League. Police later found several had a dual identity as members of a rash of extremist outfits.
No chargesheet was filed for a year and a halfâ until after Marad erupted again, much more violently, at sunset on May 2, 2003. Armed men chopped and hacked eight Hindu fishermen to death on the beach. One assailant was reportedly hacked by mistake in the melee. The killers then escaped into the local Juma Masjid.
The commissionâs report notes the submission of then Kozhikode Police Commissioner T K Vinod Kumar that hundreds of local Muslim women converged on the mosque to prevent the police from entering it to catch the killers.
While the police tried to reason with them, a nearly 300-strong armed Hindu mob gathered as well threatening to attack the cops if they didnât catch the killers.
Driven to the wall, the cops opened fire after lathicharges and teargassing failed, injuring one man. Vinod Kumarâs deposition asserts that ââthe conspiracy was hatched in the Marad Juma Masjid and other places.ââ
The cops later confiscated a huge cache of arms from this mosque, including explosives.
By then, the communal rift in Marad was total. The Sangh Parivar had driven away all Muslim families from the village, not allowing them to return and rapidly converting Marad into a saffron bastion.
So much so that even then chief minister A K Antony had to plead with the Sangh leadership to be allowed into Marad after the incident.
Local Muslim families, all 191 of them, had to live in exile in relief camps or with relatives elsewhere, for over a year. The Antony Government did not dare to help them get back to their homes.
The Muslim League, meanwhile, vehemently opposed demands to have the Marad massacre probed by the CBI. Though Antony said his Government would consider a ââpartial CBI probe,ââ the Government later submitted to the commission that it decided not to have a CBI probe since a partial probe was not ââprocedurally possible.ââ
The commission, however, dismisses this Government view saying it would not stand legal scrutiny. Its report cites a Supreme Court order asserting that such a probe was indeed possible, and adds that the Governmentâs stubborn unwillingness to have the CBI look into the massacre was ââmysteriousââ.
But the commissionâs documents are more revealing. One is the deposition of N P Rajendran, president of the Calicut Press Club, which the Government sought to help restore peace in Marad. Rajendran told the commission that Muslim League state secretary and then state Industries Minister P K Kunhalikutty had asked him while he was at the Chief Ministerâs residence for the Marad meeting: âWhereâs the guarantee that the CBI, if allowed to probe the incident, will not arrest me or Panakkad Syed Mohammed Ali Shihab Thangal (Muslim League supremo)?â The commissionâs report also says a senior Muslim League leader knew about the conspiracy that later led to the killings.
Its other key findings:
⢠Coming in for strong indictment is then Kozhikode District Collector T O Sooraj, currently director of Industries. The commission has observed that allegations that the Collector was a communalist cannot be dismissed as untrue.
The Collector had taken custody of the mosque from where the police had seized lethal weapons. But, the commission noted, he allowed Muslim League leader E Ahmed, then an MP and now Minister of State for External Affairs, to enter the mosque and offer prayers, even as an explosive situation prevailed in the area.
⢠The commission dismissed as ââuntrueââ the Collectorâs deposition that intelligence officials had not alerted him about the possibility of violence.
⢠The commission has taken a serious note of the deposition of state DGP K J Joseph, that the then Assistant Commissioner of Police (Kozhikode) Abdul Rahim âfailed to investigate and take prompt action in Marad.ââ The DGP deposed that Rahim not only ââhid the truth from his superior officersââ but also tried to establish that the key accused in the massacre on the beach on May 2, 2003 were not guilty.
⢠The report talks about the presence of extremist outfits with foreign links operating in Kerala, and slams the current and previous state Governments for their failure to take any effective action against these elements, being ââinterested only in the vote banks.ââ
The commission has asserted that there was a much larger conspiracy than what the police crime branch has revealed in Marad, and it must be probed.
What happened in sleepy Marad
⢠On Jan 3, 2002 a couple of Hindus and 3 Muslims were killed after a trivial altercation over drinking water.
⢠No chargesheet filed for over a year
⢠On May 2, 2003, 8 Hindu fishermen hacked to death, killers escape into mosque
⢠All 191 Muslim families driven out of the village by Sangh Parivar
⢠Cong ally Muslim League opposed CBI probe, Govt agreed
⢠Then Kozhikode district collector T O Sooraj indicted for bias in favour of Muslim League
⢠The commission dismissed as ââuntrueââ Soorajâs deposition that he had no intelligence alert
⢠State DGP said ACP âhid truthâ from superior officers.
⢠The report talks about the presence of extremist outfits with foreign links operating in Kerala
