Aakar Patel the former head of Amnesty India has called for harassment of EAM S Jaishankars family members

Published

Former Amnesty India head Aakar Patel threatened the family of India’s Foreign Minister Dr. S Jaishankar by inciting anti-Indian groups in the US to act against his brother for not criticizing the Modi government.

Aakar Patel, a well-known anti-India propagandist, said on Twitter that the BJP is ‘aided’ by Dr. S Jaishankar’s family’s immunity to what he does to Indians.

Aakar Patel targeted Dr. Jaishankar’s brother, claiming that he is a professor ‘preaching’ liberalism in California and that he is under no obligation to speak out against what his family is “doing to Muslims in India.”

This must change, according to the far-left anti-India propagandist. Jaishankar’s brother has agency, he says, and he must be made to use it.

In essence, Aakar Patel urged his supporters and fellow anti-India propagandists to band together to push Sanjay Subramanyam to speak out against his brother, Dr. Jaishankar, and the Indian government for alleged atrocities against Muslims. Aakar Patel directly threatened the family of Jaishankar, saying that they must be forced to come out against the government.

A claimed Congress follower named Peter Friedrich, a renowned Pakistan sympathizer, to take note of Aakar Patel’s request just hours after advocating for action against Jaishankar’s family. Friedrick, who has a track record of meddling in India’s domestic affairs and spreading anti-India propaganda, inquired about Dr. Jaishankar’s brother.

According to another Indian citizen, Bhupinder Singh, Jaishankar’s brother is Sanjay Subramanyam, a historian who teaches at UCLA in California.

The Pakistani establishment’s dangerous intervention in India’s internal affairs elicited a furious reaction in India. Threats against Foreign Minister Dr. S Jaishankar and his family were promptly identified on social media, prompting the Home Ministry to take strong action against Aakar Patel and others for threatening a sitting cabinet minister.

Another commenter said that doxing is when someone’s identity is revealed and demanded that Friedrich and Patel be prosecuted.

Aakar Patel has already spewed hatred on the ruling BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Aakar Patel is known for spreading misinformation about India and waging a hate campaign against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP.

Patel has been leveling insinuations and baseless claims against PM Modi and the BJP since they came to power in 2014 to stoke public anger with the Modi government. Since PM Modi’s historic victory in the 2019 General Elections, he has stepped up his efforts.

Patel most recently had to shoulder the brunt of his hate campaign against the Modi government when his Twitter account was suspended for inciting Muslims and Dalits to take up guns against the government, similar to the current protests in the United States.

For publishing insulting comments against the Ghanchi community in Gujarat, he was detained in 2020 and later released on bail. Later in 2021, Aakar Patel launched an unjustified and defamatory tirade against the Supreme Court of India, comparing its judges to ‘eunuchs’ and implying that they were not manly enough to defend the judiciary.

The City’s Sanitation Suffers As More Than 8,000 NMMC Contract Workers Go On An Indefinite Strike

Over 8,000 NMMC Contract Workers Go on Indefinite Strike, City’s Sanitation Hit

The Workers

More than 8,050 contractual workers of the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) have launched an indefinite strike, bringing garbage collection and other civic services to a standstill. The workers are demanding equal pay for equal work, citing a policy adopted by NMMC in 2007.

The protest stems from wage disparities between contractual and permanent employees. Workers are demanding salaries on par with fourth-class permanent staff, along with benefits such as gratuity, earned leave, medical leave, provident fund, and uniforms.

Union leader Mangesh Ladh stated that despite years of legal battles, committee reports, and government assurances, no final decision has been implemented. A 2022 committee found that equal pay for contractual workers would cost the NMMC an additional ₹20.43 crore annually. However, proposals sent to the state government have not been acted upon.

Protesting workers have accused the administration of prioritizing other projects over their rightful wages. They point out that while newly hired permanent employees in 2024 receive significantly higher salaries, many contractual workers with over 29 years of service remain underpaid.

The strike is expected to severely impact sanitation, garbage collection, vector control, and public garden maintenance, raising public health concerns.

“Road sweeping, garbage collection, and sewage complaints will be unattended if the strike continues. I hope the NMMC Commissioner resolves the issue soon,” former corporator Divya Vaibhav Gaikwad said.

Workers have vowed to continue their protest until they receive a written assurance from the authorities.

The Teams

Mumbai police have set up 10 squads to locate and arrest the suspects involved in the murder of 45-year-old IT specialist Shivkumar Roshanlal Sharma in Kharghar, Navi Mumbai. Sharma was attacked on February 2 while returning home from Vashi on his two-wheeler.

According to reports, two helmeted assailants on a motorcycle stopped Sharma near Utsav Chowk, accusing him of reckless overtaking. A confrontation ensued, during which one suspect, dressed in a black kurta-pajama, held Sharma while the other, wearing a green kurta-pajama, repeatedly struck his head with a helmet. The attackers fled the scene.

Sharma managed to reach the police station to file a complaint but collapsed moments later. He was rushed to a private hospital, where doctors declared him dead.

Authorities are analyzing technological evidence to track the suspects and are awaiting a lab report on blurry images of the attackers’ vehicle registration number. CCTV footage has captured their movements at a toll booth in Navi Mumbai.

Senior Inspector Deepak Surve confirmed that Sharma worked as a project manager at an IT firm in Real Tech Park, near Vashi railway station. A murder case has been filed, and a manhunt is underway.

Meanwhile, BJP leaders Nitesh Rane and Kirit Somaiya visited Sharma’s family, assuring them of swift justice. Somaiya stated that police had promised to arrest the accused within two days, condemning the brutality of the attack.

NMMC Promises To Take Action On Demands And Urges Contract Workers To End Their Strike Over The Demand For Equal Pay

NMMC urges contract workers to end Illegal strike, cites ongoing efforts.

The Actions

The Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) has urged contract workers to call off their indefinite strike, calling it unlawful and unnecessary. Despite the administration’s steps to address their concerns, the Samaj Samata Kamgar Sangh (Navi Mumbai) began the strike on Monday.

NMMC clarified that contract workers have been employed through contractors since its inception and are paid as per the Minimum Wages Act, not entitled to “equal pay for equal work” per a 2013 Supreme Court ruling. The corporation assured that wages, allowances, and bonuses are being regularly disbursed.

To resolve the issue, NMMC sought guidance from the state government in 2022 and 2023. In September 2024, the government advised the corporation to evaluate its financial capacity and decide accordingly. A committee found that implementing “equal pay for equal work” would lower wages below the minimum wage. This was conveyed to labor unions in meetings on December 27, 2024, and January 16, 2025.

A high-level meeting on January 3, chaired by NMMC Commissioner Dr. Kailas Shinde, led to the formation of a special committee under a retired Additional Chief Secretary to reassess the issue. The panel’s first meeting is scheduled for February 12, 2025.

Despite these steps, workers accuse NMMC of submitting incorrect reports and ignoring the Chief Minister’s directives. NMMC has urged unions to await the committee’s report and warned that disrupting civic services through an unlawful strike would harm citizens.
