Both, though, claimed that he had been severely tortured before his death. "I last saw him in 1985. The body resembles that of my father and brother. But it is in a horrible condition. They have really tortured him", alleged his niece Deepa Rao.


Kishenji, alias Mallojula Koteshwar Rao, was killed on Thursday in the Kushboni forests near Jhargram during anti-Maoist operations by the joint forces. Officials said the body of the 58-year-old Left ultra was identified by his AK 47. He had been in hiding for over three decades. His mother though cried foul, alleging that he was killed in a fake encounter.

The activist has now demanded for a case of culpable homicide to be registered over the Maoist leader's death. Kishenji's body will now be flown to Hyderabad. From there, he will be taken to his home in Pedapalli in Karimnagar district of Telangana region where his ailing brother and mother, Madhuramma, have expressed their wish to see the body.The final rites will also be performed there with his family members, relatives, friends and comrades present, Ms Rao said.

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.
