This reminds me the vulgar joke of the monkey & elephant. Many of the readers may be aware of the the adult joke. If we are to accept that it rained because of the Nehru maidan prayer, it should have rained whe the imam lowered his hand which he raised in prayer. On all occasions of this kind of prayers that was how the rains showered.ask your Aalims not Zaalims whether this is true.

ALHAMDULLILLAH...
Dont claim any appreciation for the prayer in NM only ... ALLAH is all powerful and all wise...
Even Non Believers in ALLAH are a creation of ALLAH.
and there are many Non believers made prayer for RAIN as well... the only thing is they dont recognise the true GOD...

But ALLAH is excessively MERCIFUL and Most compasionate, He answers the sincere hearts not just muslims

ALL Praise and thanks to the giver of RAIN .... Alhamdullillah

Some brothers have mocked and said just plant the trees.
The God said, do your required duty and leave the rest on me.
The duty covers our required efforts and prayers.
Only the efforts without prayer does not suffice alone.
The intellectuals have sign here to understand.

Remember Islam is for all.

Davangere, Jul 19: A 9-year-old sniffer dog ran 12 km in the night to trace a murder accused and helped the police arrest him in Karnataka's Davangere rural area, an official said on Sunday.

"Doberman Pincher Tunga ran 12 km non-stop from the crime spot at Basavapattana in the city to a house at Kashipur in the rural where murder accused Chethan, 25, was hiding and helped us arrest him on July 17," Davangere Police Superintendent Hanumantha Rai said on phone.

Davangere is 260 km northwest of Bengaluru.

"Though Chethan allegedly shot dead his friend Chandra Nayak with a stolen service revolver on July 10 over sharing the booty (gold ornaments) of the theft they had committed recently with two others. We took female dog Tunga to the crime spot on July 16. She led the sleuths to the area where Chethan was hiding with two accomplices," Rai recalled.

While trained sniffer dogs normally run 4-5 km from a crime spot, Tunga could track the accused 12 km away.

When Tunga's handler (Head Constable Prakash) took her to the crime scene at 9.30 pm, she sniffed around and ran 12 km non-stop to Kashipur. She halted at a wine shop and went to a food joint later. Then she stopped at a house nearby at 12.30 am.

The prime accused (Chethan) was present in the house of his relative. He was arrested after he confessed to the theft and the murder.

The police are on the hunt to trace Chethan's two accomplices who fled from the house they were hiding in.

Karnataka Additional Director General of Police (law and order) Amar Kumar Pandey felicitated Tunga on July 17 at a function here for cracking the murder case with its exceptional sniffing traits.

Amidst heightened border tensions between Indian and China, senior BJP leader and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan's two year old tweet comparing his party with Communist Party of China started going viral. 

The tweet, dated 26 June, 2016 reads: "Communist Party of China & BJP have done numerous works in social field. This way, there is tremendous similarities between the two parties." (sic)

Twitterati dug up this tweet after over 20 Indian Army personnel, including a colonel, were killed in a clash with Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley in eastern Ladakh earlier this week.

Soon after Chouhan's tweet went viral, netizens took to the micro-blogging site and slammed BJP. One user said, "Interesting comment by Hindutva ITSELF to recognise how similar they are with China. No doubt. Both believe in Dragon Throne .... and brutal absolute control." Another user said, "No wonder the BJP & China both agree that PLA never crossed into Indian territory."
