Has Kejriwal a Pakistan Connection ?
Ram Kumar Ohri, IPS (Retd)
Delhi Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal, has been waging a jihad against the Prime Minister Narendra Modi. At the drop of a hat he and his flunkeys drag Prime Minister’s name in every episode even where any legitimate legal action is taken against his team mates. In the history of post independence Indian politics never ever was a Prime Minister pilloried in such a crude manner as Kejri has been doing. What could be the possible reason for such gross animosity of Kejriwal against the elected chief executive of the Indian state ? Deductive logic tells us that Kejri is waging this jihad against the Hindutava icon at the behest of some anti-India group or country.
Kejri owes his political debut to the financing of his NGOs by Ford Foundation (read CIA). But that alone cannot be the raison d’etre for his targeting the Prime Minister day in and day out. The reason for his jihad against Narendra Modi must be found elsewhere.
If we trace the rise of Kejriwal in the mainstream media through crude publicity one finds that the Delhi Chief Minister has the dubious support of some radical Islamic groups based in Pakistan, USA and Pak-occupied Kashmir. It is public knowledge that on December 7, 2014, King Kejri was felicitated by a Dubai-based shadowy organization, ‘World Brands Summit’ with great fanfare. He was flown in Business Class courtesy his friendship with Dubai-based money bags. While the Indian media latched on to the gross impropriety of a self-proclaimed representative of the ‘aam aadmi’ travelling in Business Class, they failed to read the tea leaves of his Dubai connection. Nor did they probe the mystery of his subsequent gallop from Dubai to the USA. The inexplicable association of the Aam Aadmi Party with fundamentalist Muslim groups, embedded in Pakistan and POK, was totally ignored by the leaders of the BJP.
Has Suspected Islamists As Allies ?
The proof of pudding, as they say, is in eating thereof. An advertisement by the Association of Indian Muslims of America appeared in the 1-15 February, 2014, issue of Milli Gazette, New Delhi, calling upon Muslims to vote for the Aam Aadmi Party in the forthcoming elections.1
The advertisement issued by the Association of Indian Muslims of America ran as follows:
“An Appeal to Indian Muslim citizens and voters to support Aam Aadmi Party to remove the ills of corruption, influence peddling, abuse of religion and caste, money power, denial of justice, police brutality, from the society at large in the country. These ills have resulted from gross abuses by most political parties. The majority of Muslims being deprived people are hurt more than others from these ills. Hence, Muslims in large numbers should support AAP that is comprised of good people, and that is trying to cleanse the national political and governance system. We appeal to all to campaign for AAP, raise funds for them and vote for AAP candidates in the upcoming parliamentary elections.”
Apart from the party symbol ‘Jhaadu’, the advertisement carried a photograph of the skullcapped AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal, with his shoulders draped in a keffiyah-printed muffler, interacting with Muslim leaders. The advertisement further urged the minority voters to ‘Join the Revolution’ – a description taken perhaps from official website of AAP.
Interestingly the Association of Indian Muslims of America is an organization whose many members have been connected with Dr. Ghulam Nabi Fai of Kashmiri American Council – a spy planted by the Inter-Services Intelligence of Pakistan in the USA. He was arrested in July 2011 by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and sent up for trial on charge of running an espionage racket to promote a lobby for supporting secession of Kashmir from India. Investigations by the FBI revealed that Dr. Fai had received approximatey $4 million from his ISI handlers in Pakistan. Investigations by the FBI revealed that he was receiving instructions from Brigadier Javed Aziz Khan of the ISI.
Qayyum Endian Applauds Kejriwal as Jaychand
In an interesting article posted on the website of ‘Covert Wires’ on November 17, 2013, two researchers Somiksha C Mohanta and Nazia Murtad had drawn attention to the fact that the Kashmiri separatists were running online donation campaigns for Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party.2 They claimed that the leader of the Aam Aadmi Party was not a visionless man. He has a far-sighted vision which enables him to get a kind of proper sense of winning elections. He knows the clever ways to get funding for the AAP from outside India. It is a known fact that Kejriwal has constantly claimed that the AAP was getting clean money from NRIs through its website’s donation section. Once AAP had boasted that it has received a huge sum of INR 5 million from an NRI based in East Asia which donation lacked transparency. But the catch, according to the two authors, was that one can never prove whether some foreign agencies were channelizing funds through the NRIs located abroad having stakes in those agencies.
The article penned by Somiksha Mohanta and Nazia Murtad on the website of covert wires highlighted that many Pakistani online forums were campaigning for making donations to the AAP. The posts on Internet showed a screen shot of the donation process invented by a man who works in the Gulf for Pakistan. Also there was a recorded instance where an anti-India resident of India had donated his two months’ salary for AAP. Claiming to be one Qayyum (probably, his pseudo name), the 47 years old Indian, who called himself as Qayyum Endian had donated INR 45,000 to AAP and taken screenshots of the form filling showing the payment process and receiving the Transaction ID. His post on Internet, according to the two journalists, was inspiring Pakistanis to donate at least INR 100 to AAP. The reason for so doing was explicit in his hope and prayer while sacrificing his two months’ salary to AAP. His message to the Muslims could be seen in the remarks box and it read thus : مجھے یکین ہے کی آپ لوگ ہندوستان مے اسلامی ھقمت قیام کروگے The message in Urdu proclaimed, “Mujhe Yakeen Hai Aaplog India Mein Islami Huqumat Qayam Karogey” (I am sure you guys will establish the Islamic rule in India).3
The pro-Kejri online activist, Qayyum Endian, had described the situation created by AAP as a historical turning point. He hailed Kejriwal as the new Jaychand who will initiate the second phase of Islamization of India. Qayyum Endian further asked Kejriwal to provide assistance to Muslims. His message posted in the online campaigns clarified that the citizenship filter is a deliberate security breach and that anyone could sign as Indian citizen in the form checkbox. Qayyum Endian suggested that it was a nice way to shoot two targets with a single arrow, managing to create a public perception that they were receiving no foreign funding, but were getting only NRI money. Thus one could still make a donation to them. When a person successfully makes the payment through credit/debit card, he will receive a Transaction ID like Qayyum did.
Thereafter he urged the public to assist AAP according to his/her capability because, “Allah said that the dust you face in the battle, will return as fragrance and then help you invest in the cause of Allah, will be returned to you 700 times more” Qayyum asserts. According to the two researchers, this post supporting Kejri’s AAP was first found on a Facebook page titled, “Our Kashmir Our Concern” running from Muzaffarabad in Pakistan-Occupied-Kashmir. It aimed at promoting the separatist causes in Kashmir and supporting the Pakistani Army. The two authors, Somiksha Mohanta and Nazia Murad, had also provided the link to the pro-Islamic post on the website https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=232217923619106. Subsequently the post gradually found its way to other separatist and Pakistani pages on Internet.3 [Ibid]. Thus, prima facie AAP appears to have got lots of funds from anti-Indian operatives located in Pakistan, Pakistan Occupied Kashmir and also from Gulf-based doubtful entities.
The authors of the seminally researched column posted on the website of covert wires, rightly asked the important question whether the founder the Aam Aadmi Party, Arvind Kejriwal, truly deserves the title of Jaychand bestowed on him by Qayyum “Endian” ?
One more critical question needs to be answered is whether AAP really aims at promoting the cause of the “Indian Muslims” by Islamicising India – as claimed in the message of Qayyum “Endian”?
For facility of ready reference a copy of the facsimile of the payment made through IDBI Bank, posted by Qayyum showing his donation of 45,000 INR to AAP and instigating other like-minded supporters of Kejriwal’s party to donate money and further promote the donation process is reproduced below. It has been taken from Covert Wires website of November 17, 2013, and can be accessed on their website.4
The avowed admirer of Arvind Kejriwal, Qayyum Endian, had cited several reasons owing to which the AAP must be supported by all Pakistani and Indian Muslims and even “Good Hindus”, i.e. perhaps the secularism-swearing fellow travellers. One of the reasons cited by Qayyum was that AAP was the most bold critic of the BJP which is an important nationalist Indian party and therefore the most anti-Pakistan outfit. Qayyum Endian argued that Aam Aadmi Party definitely fulfils the criteria suiting the Muslims because it has excellently fooled the Indian masses who believe every rubbish which the AAP spits out. For instance, the AAP quickly blamed Narendra Modi and Amit Shah for provoking communal riots in Muzaffarnagar in Uttar Pradesh, India without any proof. And that qualifies AAP to get funds from Pakistanis and “Endians” like Qayyum.
Yet another fascmile about online donations shown in the aforesaid article posted on the website of Covert Wires is reproduced below.
Unfortunately the highly revealing article of Somiksha Mohanta and Nazia Murtad appears to have missed the attention of Indian intelligence agencies. It can still be accessed on the website of covert wires. The use of a cleverly invented nomenclature “Endian” by Qayyum remains a puzzle. Could it signify that his aim was to put an ‘END’ to the Indian nation by ensuring the support of Indian Muslims to Kejriwal ?
Thus, prima facie AAP appears to have got lots of funds from anti-Indian operatives based in Pakistan, Pakistan Occupied Kashmir and also from Gulf-based doubtful entities. Incidentally the aforesaid article was also posted on the website of asansolnews, http://asansolnews.wordpress.com. That lends greater credibility to the facts enumerated by the two authors in their narrative. Despite these open allegations made on two websites there was no response from King Kejri. Nor did he sue the authors for defaming him by branding him as Jaichand reborn.
Interestingly neither India’s “unpaid media” nor the voluble “paid media” tried to unravel the truth about AAP having enlisted the powerful support of anti-Indian groups operating in Pakistan, Pak-Occupied Kashmir and Sheikhdoms of West Asia.
Expose` of Kejriwal in Afghanistan Times
A well researched article written by a Baloch journalist, Aamna Shahwani, and published in The Afghanistan Times, Kabul, on March 4, 2014, brought to light Kejriwal’s shadowy Pakistan connection. The author highlighted the following facts :
- After Kejriwal’s Aam Admi Party won 28 seats out of 70 seats in the Delhi Assembly elections of 2013, the Pakistani media was full of praise for AAP. Although the Bharatiya Janata Party had won a few seats moe than the AAP, the well known Pakistani newspaper, Dawn, totally ignored this fact and emphasized the AAP victory by frontpaging the news. The Pakistani media also started praising Kejriwal for his spectacular success. No one knows why suddenly Kejriwal became a darling of the Pakistani media and chatterati?
- There were celebrations in different cities of Pakistan, especially in the Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, heralding the AAP victory. Prima facie there was no explanation available for the jubilation of the jihadi tribe over the AAP’s impressive political debut in Delhi Assembly elections ?
- There was a big spurt in the online donations from Pakistanis to AAP. According to Aamna Shahwani more support was likely come to AAP from Pakistan because the ISI wanted to have a puppet regime in New Delhil The sudden surge in online donations for AAP from Pakistan needed to be explained to the Indian masses ?
- In February 2014 some Pakistani journalists and media groups interviewed Kejriwal. Even the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Nawaz Sharif, proclaimed that the victory of Kejri will help in resolving the Kashmir dispute. It needs to be explained what suddenly made Kejriwal a darling of the Pakistani politicians?
- Prima facie one important reason for Pakistan’s love for Kejri and Aam Aadmi Party was the AAP’s anti-India stand on Kashmir dispute. The Baloch columnist pointed out that at least 3 members of AAP had openly delivered anti-India and pro-secessionist statements on Kashmir favouring a referendum or plebiscite, publicly voiced by Prashant Bhushan.
- It needs to be observed that AAP has many members who had pleaded for sparing the life of Ajmal Kasab who was convicted for attacking the Indian Parliament. Kejri must explain why did AAP leaders have a soft corner for Ajmal Kasab?
- Aamna Shahwani further alleged that no attempt was made by Kejriwal during his regime to recover the long pending electricity bills running into several lakh rupees from the Shahi Imam of Jama Masjid? Apparently the soft corner of Kejriwal towards Shahi Imam of Jama Masjid was occasioned by the latter’s proximity to radical Islamists ?
Kejriwal’s pronouncedly pro-Muslim policy had been exposed earlier when before the Delhi Assembly elections when he had a 2 hours long meeting with Maulana Tauqueer Raza Barelvi in November, 2013. The Maulana is a well known radical Muslim. During the visit of US President George Bush to India in March, 2006, Kejriwal’s friend and benefactor, Maulana Tauqueer Raza, had announced a reward of Rs one crore to anyone who killed the US Presaident. Later on in the year 2007 the fundamentalist Maulana had announced a reward of Rs 10 lakhs for killing Taslima Nasreen, the well known author of the book ‘Lajja’.
The foregoing facts clearly explain why Kejri has been carrying on a vitriolic verbal jihad against the Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The matter certainly needs an indepth investigation by intelligence agencies, especially because of the claim made by Qayyum Endian that Kejriwal is Jaichand reborn who will establish an Islamic government in India.
