IAC Hyderabad Chapter Vows to Support Anna Hazare

The Hyderabad chapter of India Against Corruption (IAC) has decided to show full support for the proposed fast by Anna Hazare from December 11 for a strong Lokpal bill. P Rama Krishna, member of IAC Hyderabad and founder of an NGO 'It's Time to Make a Difference', said "We have decided to hold a dharna on December 11 and 12 in support of Anna Hazare at Dharna Chowk (Indira Park) in Hyderabad, where the previous dharna was held in August."

In an e-mail waiting to be sent to members of the IAC, Manali, an active coordinator in Hyderabad, has called for large-scale mobilisation of people by roping in colony associations, NGOs and colleges. The organisation also plans to raise awareness on the Jan Lokpal bill over the next few days to ensure volunteers and participants at the dharna remain fully informed. On December 1, a Jan Lokpal awareness programme will be held at MVSR College, Saroornagar followed by another awareness programme at Malla Reddy Institute of Management, Kompally on December 2. There will also be an awareness programme and volunteers' meeting at Madhusudhan Nagar community hall on December 4.

Although the decision on whether to fast or not will be decided only upon receiving a proper plan of action from Delhi, Rama Krishna said that similar to the earlier dharna, at least four to five people are expected to fast daily at the venue. "We have applied for permission for a peaceful protest, though the timings may be restricted to between 9 am and 5 pm", he added.
 

Modi Is Not Our PM: Owaisi

MIM is a recognized state political party based in the Indian state of Telangana, with its head office in the old city of Hyderabad, which has its roots in the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen founded in 1927. Unlike most of the regional and national level parties, MIM party leaders ‘fight’ only for the well-being of Muslims, whereas no other party has such communal feelings. In their each and every speech, MIM leaders speak only about Muslims. If these leaders are here to fight for Muslims, then why there are no development works are happening in old city area for decades. Akbaruddin Owaisi faced criticism for making hate remarks on Narendra Modi and Hindus. Recently, his elder brother Asaduddin Owaisi made some notorious annotations. In a one-on-one debate between BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra and Asaduddin Owaisi on the topic of demonetization in a popular Hindi channel, the former left no stone unturned in exposing the latter’s communal designs. Owaisi claimed how most of the Muslim community still remains unbanked and that demonetization has caused severe inconvenience to Muslims. He even went on to say that ATM’s in Muslim-dominated areas weren’t fed enough money. He indirectly alleged that the Modi government hadn’t done anything for Muslims. Even after being pressurized Owaisi didn’t call Narendra Modi as his Prime Minister. He went on said, “Your Prime Minister…” On the other hand, Sambit spoke wisely and called Owaisi a leader of small stature because he talked only of Muslims. He said that no area was Muslim or Hindu and that all areas belonged to India. Owaisi was constantly quoting an RBI report, to which Sambit challenged him to show where the RBI had used the word ‘Muslim’. Sambit even said that if a Muslim leader speaks of Muslims it’s not an issue, but the moment a VHP leader speaks of Hindus people go crazy accusing them of imposing the Hindutva ideology. The most amazing of his counters was to Owaisi’s claims of Muslims not having been brought into the banking system. Sambit said that when banks or ATMs are to be opened in Muslim areas leaders like Owaisi shout that banking is un-Islamic and that Muslims should refrain from it! This video of debate between Sambit Patra and Asaduddin Owaisi is going viral in social media.
