Terrorism revival plan foiled

By -
Barnala police have reportedly foiled an attempt to revive terrorism in the state with the arrest of Surinder Singh Thikriwal. Two pistols, one of .32 bore and a .315 bore, along with cartridges, provocative literature and a diary containing local and international phone numbers have been recovered from him, the police claim.

SP (headquarter) Narinder Kaushal and SP (detective) Swaran Singh Khanna said that the CIA staff arrested Thikriwal on the charges of plotting terrorist activities in collusion with Satnam Singh, a main operator of Babbar Khalsa. Satnam was recently arrested by the Fatehgarh Sahib police.

During preliminary interrogation, Surinder Singh Thikriwal has admitted that he was in touch with Daljit Singh Bittu, Baba Bakshish Singh Najamani Wala, Jassa Mankiwala, Gurpreet Singh Mullanpur, all accused in the Shingar Cinema Blast case of 2007, Mandeep Singh of Sahnewal shooting incident over tearing up of a religious text, Jagtar Singh Hawara, Navtej Singh Batala Phoola Singh Nihang, Balbir Singh Bhotna, all facing trial for terrorism.

Thikriwal, 31, has been previously booked on similar charges two times. In June 2010, he was arrested with copies of an inflammatory speech 'Sant Kehnde Rahe', the text version of a speech of Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, Sant Kehnde Rahe. Police recovered 25 copies of the said booklet.
Police asserted that some parts of the leaflet were highly objectionable, as it promoted extremism. However, Rajdev Singh Khalsa, advocate of Thikriwal claimed that Thikriwal was being implicated in false and baseless similar cases time and again.

Thikriwal has been booked under Sections 124-A (sedition), 153-A (promoting enmity between classes) and other sections of IPC, Unlawful Activities (Prevention Act), and Arms Act at Barnala. He has remanded in police custody for two days.

However, the police are yet to make public relevant information in the case like the details of the funds transferred through a money transfer company, the international numbers found and the literature seized during the arrest.

How a cyber attack hampered Hong Kong protesters

Massive public protests taking place in Hong Kong over the past week are aimed at a new extradition law, known as the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance , that would see accused criminals extradited to mainland China to face prosecution. Hongkongers feel the law could be used to legalise the kidnapping of people who express views, and act in ways, that are not popular with the Chinese government . The same law could also be used to extradite tourists and visitors to China who are arrested on suspicion of having committed these crimes. Protesters want the bill scrapped. For now, debate of the legislation has been postponed . Organisers say one million people turned out for the protests, while police estimate the number was around 240,000. Either way, it was a significant number of Hong Kong’s 7.5 million population. Commentators on Twitter remarked on how well organised the protesters were. So, how did they do it? Protesters across the world are using n

Islam Has Massacred Over 669+ Million Non-Muslims Since 622AD

In fact, no ideology has been as genocidal as Islam… Islam has killed more than 5 times the number of people killed by communism. In the total numbers we have updated over 80 million Christians killed by Muslims in 500 years in the Balkan states, Hungary, Ukraine, Russia. Then we have India. The official estimate number of Muslim slaughters of Hindus is 80 million. However, Muslim historian Firistha (b. 1570) wrote (in either Tarikh-i Firishta or  the Gulshan-i Ibrahim) that Muslims slaughtered over 400 million Hindus up to the peak of Islamic rule of India, bringing the Hindu population down from 600 mil to 200 million at the time. With these new additions the Muslim genocide of non-Muslims since the birth of Mohammed would be  over 669 million murders. Islam: The Religion of Genocide Perspective:   Think the Spanish inquisition was bad? More people are killed by Islamists each year than in all 350 years of the Spanish Inquisition* combined.
