Cuckoldry of the highest order. There is no ganga jamuna tehzib only a way to trick gulible hindus.
Interesting. For the intro, sarvana marathi mahit naahi.
But. BJP and Modi are not responsible for India's booming economy. Factors like young population, low crude prices, expanding real estate helped more than two dozen developing countries see extremely high growth rates. Comparing different policies, BJP is no different from the previous govt and have often backtracked on the promises made in 2014. Almost every ministry has been very mediocre.
Oppose India, accept pension
Hurriyat hawk Syed Ali Shah Geelani's close aide Ghulam Nabi Sumji bats for Pakistan as a separatist but has no qualms about seeking Indian doles.
Sumji, a former MLA, has written to the Mehbooba Mufti government requesting a hike in his pension and release of his arrears, citing an amendment earlier this year to the Jammu and Kashmir State Legislature Act through which the pensions of former legislators were revised. Sources said the revisions were being done on a case-to-case basis and Sumji's appeal was approved by the government on Tuesday.
Although nothing legally bars former legislators of all hues from receiving pension, separatists are bitterly opposed to elections to the Assembly and Parliament and call elected representatives "Indian puppets". Ethical questions abound when somebody espousing azadi or Kashmir's accession with Pakistan accepts such doles, more so when the recipient is a close lieutenant of Geelani who never shies away from taking the moral high ground and is believed to be among the frontrunners to succeed the ailing hawk.
"Sir, with due respect I beg to submit that pension of ex-MLAs has been revised and the arrear dues have been released by the Act," Sumji wrote in the letter addressed to the secretary of the state Assembly. "It is therefore prayed that my increased pension along with arrear dues be released in my favour," the letter, sent earlier this year, added. The letter was mistakenly dated 2015.
The sources said the Assembly had approved the hike and communicated the decision to Sumji. Sumji admitted that he receives the pension and had applied for a revision citing the recent amendment.
"Yes I had applied for the revision some two to three months ago and it has been approved," he told The Telegraph. Sumji said he accepted the pension as a matter of right, "being a former MLA".
"If you look at it (from the standpoint of a separatist), then (accepting) the pension is wrong. But at the same time I have a right over it," he said. The former MLA, who is now a general secretary of the Geelani-led Hurriyat Conference, said his pension had been revised to Rs 47,000 per month.
Sumji had served as a member of the Assembly from 1987 to 1989. He was one of the four representatives of the Muslim United Front (MUF), a group that had challenged the National Conference-Congress alliance in the 1987 elections which were believed to have been rigged. Sumji allegedly played a key role in the rise of militancy two years later.
Sumji won the election from Bijebehara, which is now represented by chief minister Mehbooba. Three of the four MLAs, including Sumji, resigned in 1989, bowing to an unprecedented surge in separatist sentiments. But all of them, including Geelani, continued to accept the pensions, though quietly.
Of the four, three - Geelani, Sumji and Mohammad Sayeed Shah - supported or joined the separatist movement. Abdul Razzak Mir, who refused to resign as MLA, was killed by suspected militants. Geelani stopped taking the pension when he was confronted by journalists at a news conference over a decade ago.
Sumji said the families of Shah and Mir also received the pension, but added he did not know if they had applied for the revised amount. Sources said Sumji was one of several former MLAs who had applied for the revision.

Oppose India, accept pension
A very rare kind. I wish other doctors get inspired by him as well.
Very very long read. I stopped at "Modi And Conversions"
With lifestyles getting extremely hard and tough - emotionally, mentally, economically, physical health wise and energetically, people all over the world are looking for answers to their miseries. Almost all are rising above religious practices and trying to understand the "cause" of their situations - sorrows and miseries. The west specifically are looking for answers, not just prayers. This is leading them to spiritual awakening and awareness.
They are looking at their constrained freedom and healing these dis-ease - emotional, mental, physical and energetic.
The games played by the evangelicals will be very short lived. Ignorant people get trapped in such deceptions. Finally the ability for every human being to think discriminately will lead them to discard all these rituals and bondage, liberating their spirit to connect with the supreme.

Sheila Rashid has reached the tipping point of her desperation; this night walker does not get any more attention and business, and so in order to attract back her promoters, she has gone overboard and lost her mental balance.

Instant talaq victims grace Union minister Mukhtar Naqvi’s iftar
Congress hosted Iftar parties for “political engineering” while BJP does it for “social engineering” to give dignity to the minority community, Union minister Mukhtar Naqvi said on Wednesday.
Speaking on the sidelines of the Iftar party hosted by him and coinciding with the one held by Congress chief Rahul Gandhi, Naqvi said he had invited nearly 300 women from the community — some of them victims of Triple Talaq — to make give them the dignity they deserve.
Naqvi also said his ministry will hold state-wise ‘Progress Panchayats’ for women to give them a platform to discuss their grievances and address their concerns.
Emphasising that though the community was in regular touch with his ministry, the iftar had also served as a platform for women to connect with him to speak about other concerns.
Naqvi said, “We talk about development and dignity, but the Congress’s Iftar is for political engineering. No one has ever tried to organise an Iftar for social engineering. We have done it, especially when we are talking about Muslim women, triple talaq and other issues related to their empowerment.”
The minister had announced an Iftar party a day after the Congress said it would host one of its own on Wednesday. Interacting with the Muslim women, the minister said that it was only the BJP government that had made it possible for them to go on Haj without male companions. “For the first time after Independence, Muslim officers would be posted in Saudi Arabia for Haj duty. A woman officer is also being deployed to help the women who will travel alone,” Naqvi said.
NDA ministers who attended Naqvi’s programme included Ravi Shankar Prasad, Prakash Javadekar, Smriti Irani, Jitendra Singh, and M J Akbar.
