Sectarian Violence Leaves Dozens Dead in N. India

Posted by feww on September 9, 2013

Curfew enforced in riot-hit Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh, India

Curfew remained in force in riot-hit areas of Muzaffarnagar on Monday amid sectarian violence which has left at least 28 people dead and 60 others injured in northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh (UP).

At least 200 people have been arrested and complaints registered against 1000 others, including four Members of Legislative Assembly from India’s Bharatiya Janata Party and a former Indian National Congress MP, said a report.

the violence started on August 27 when three people were killed in Kawal town of Muzaffarnagar over an incident of “eve-teasing,” the UP Governor has said.

[Eve-teasing is a euphemism used in India, Pakistan, Nepal and Bhutan for public sexual molestation of women by men, with the word “Eve” referring to the biblical first woman. Editor]

UP, India’s most populous and politically crucial state, was at the heart of some of India’s worst communal clashes in 1992 following destruction of the Babri mosque in Ayodhya.

It was destroyed after a political rally developed into a riot involving about 200,000 people. Up to 3,000 people were killed in ensuing riots in India’s major cities including Delhi and Mumbai.

Iraq Carnage: 110 People Killed in 36 Hrs

1 Policeman was beheaded, 14 people killed by gunfire, including 7 family members, 15 murdered by IEDs, and 80 were killed in 18 bomb explosions over the past 36 hours.

The monthly death toll for August so far stands at 823 civilians killed, and as many as 2,000 others wounded.

The latest killings bloodied the cities of Baghdad, Mosul, Latifiya, Falluja, Baiji, Qayyara and Jalawla, according to reports.

Saudis, Qataris and other Arab regimes that help perpetuate the sectarian slaughter in Iraq and Syria must realize that they will NOT escape the global “de-Islamization” unscathed.

Communication companies help surveillance: Former CIA official

“According to UK newspaper, the Guardian, Snowden has only released part of the intelligence he has. During his revelations of the US surveillance program, Snowden says the US government and US communication companies are involved.

“Although related companies like Google and Microsoft are trying to exclude themselves from the scandal, a former CIA official says communication companies are accomplices in the surveillance.”

Ray McGovern, a former CIA official, told CNTV News:

“What’s happened here is the U.S. companies have become joined in a way with United States Government in such a way that you have the corporations, the government, the media and the congress and judiciary all pretty much joined in a complicit attempt to circumvent the constitution of the United States. There’s zero concern on the part of the communication companies to violate the law. They know that they’ll be protected, even if it’s ex post facto…”
