Rape-accused Hindu godman Gurmeet's frustrated bhakts threaten mass conversion to Islam

Agencies

Chandigarh, Oct 3: The frustrated followers of rape accused Hindu godman Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh have threatened mass conversions to Islam in an apparent bid to divert attention from the charges of mass rapes and killings. 

The controversial Sirsa-based Dera Sacha Sauda chief's followers claim that their chief - Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh - was jailed because he is a Hindu and that Hindu organisations are easy targets.

The latest allegation and the threat of conversion surfaced on social media in a video which is being anchored by none other than the Dera spokesperson Sandeep Mishra himself. In the video, he can be seen in conversation with a Dera follower whose face is masked. The video, as claimed by Mishra himself, was shot in Sirsa. In the video, Mishra claims that the Dera followers are in touch with AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi and Shahi Imam Syed Ahmad Bukhari, the 13th Shahi Imam of the Jama Masjid, Delhi.

"If you love Hindustan... it will bring tears to your eyes that being a Hindu is a crime in our own country Hindustan. When faith is under attack, why not to convert? I am being joined by people with a similar mindset," says Sandeep Mishra in the video.

The person on the other side, whose face has been masked, says converting to Islam will be beneficial for them as nobody touches Muslims even when they throw stones. "We face bullets even when we are empty-handed. Our leader is in touch with Muslim leaders and we will convert when one lakh followers give their consent," says the Dera follower who says they will live in India after converting to Islam.

In the video, Sandeep Mishra is also heard saying that those who are followers of Ram get punished while those who pledge their allegiance to Rahim are allowed to go scot free. The follower also claims that all Dera followers will convert to Islam in batches of one lakh followers. He also says that Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh paid the price for being a Hindu.

But, sources say, Mishra is not the brain behind this fresh controversy. Sources say that Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh - the Dera chief who knows how to play the religion card well - himself is the brain behind the controversy. Sources have revealed that despite being behind bars, the controversial Dera chief is managing the sect and is guiding his aides on their next course of action from inside the jail.

Sources say besides the well wishers in the BJP-led state government, Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh also has friends in the police and bureaucracy who could possibly be helping him manage the affairs of the Dera from the jail itself.

Sources and former Dera followers allege that when the police can give a free hand to the fugitive Honeypreet and Dr Aditya Insan who have continued to evade the police for the last five weeks, they may also be helping their jailed boss by offering internet or social media access. The jail authorities have, however, denied these allegations.

Interestingly, both the mobile phone numbers that Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh provided - of himself and of Honeypreet - could not be verified by the jail authorities as both the numbers were switched off.

"Gurmeet Ram Rahim is not able to speak to anybody in the Dera as the numbers provided by him were not verified. The allegations are not based on facts," says DGP Prisons, Haryana, Dr KP Singh.

Former Dera followers like Gurdas Singh Toor and Gurmeet Ram Rahim's relative Bhupinder Singh Gora say the jailed sect chief knows how to misuse and exploit religion to divert attention when things go against him.

"He is a clever fox and knows the power of religion. He used to change the names of Hindu followers to Muslim names just to prove that Muslims are also his followers," says Gurdas Singh Toor.

Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim's relative Bhupinder Singh Gora has demanded a probe into the mass conversion threat raised by Sandeep Mishra in the video.

Some right wing organisations have also taken a serious note of the threat. Chandigarh-based Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader Vijay Bhardwaj has criticised Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh for using the religion card to divert public attention.

"The claims made by him that he has crores of followers are false. He has a few lakh supporters who are non-Hindus as they had joined the Dera. The society will disown the Dera chief and his followers as they are accused of exploiting innocent female followers," says Vijay Bhardwaj.

Interestingly, Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh - the controversial Dera Sacha Sauda Chief who added Ram and Rahim to his name saying that it would send out the message that the Dera is a confluence of all religions - is now accused of himself disturbing communal harmony between the two religions.

First of all everyone need to understand that ISLAM is not just limited to any group, faction.

It has come as guidance to all. It does not need to bribe anyone or put any condtions to accept.

 

Muslims are just requied to pass the message of Islam to everyone and leave it for them to accept or refuse.

therefore Muslims are not allowed to forcefully convert nor allowed to bribe anyone to accept Islam.

It is very clear.

 

Because it is not the religion of man, it is the command of 1 and only 1SINGLE  almighty GOD.

 

In this case, Islam does not need conditional acceptance or conversion. It is upto them whether to accept Islam or not.

 

But if they accept Islam,  Muslims can not reject or refuse them. Only the GOD knows what is their heart true conversion or hyprocracy.  This is clear.

Simply converting to Islam for revenge means what?? did they study Islam?do They know Islam? Converting means not only changing the names. He should follow it. He should completely surrunder to Allah. He should not tell lies, harm any human being, and all other creatures. Should ask forgiveness from Allah and leave all bad habits. Islam means only peace and help others how much can possible for you.

Hubballi, Apr 20: Dejected over failure to get alcohol for almost one month, a forty-five year old man and his sister died after consuming hand sanitizer in Kalghatgi taluk of Dharwad district on Sunday.

The deceased persons, identified as Basavaraj Venkappa Kuruvinkoppa and Jambavva Kattimani (50) of little hamlet Gambyapur, died at Karnataka Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS).

The wife of the deceased person has lodged a complaint at Kalghatgi police station stating that her husband had been addicted to alcohol since the last 10-12 years.

Basavaraj and his sister have reportedly consumed hand sanitizer several times since the last 2-3 days, severely deteriorating their health as they felt it is replacement for liquor and has high levels of spirit content.

They were admitted to KIMS only by Sunday early morning after complaining of serious pain in the stomach. The KIMS director Dr Ramalingappa Anthartani said that the deceased appears to have consumed too much sanitizer and the doctors couldn't save their life as they approached the hospital very late.

He also claimed that he is awaiting the postmortem report to know how much quantity of hand sanitizer the deceased had consumed.

"Condition of the patients was very critical when they were admitted to KIMS hospital. It seems that they had drunk too much hand sanitizer for non-availability of liquor. Consumption of hand sanitizer could prove fatal as it has high chemical contents" KIMS director Dr Ramalingappa Anthartani said

The Karnataka government has prohibited the sale of liquor ever since the Centre declared lockdown to control the spread of Coronavirus. This has prompted the alcohol addicts to buy liquor by paying hefty prices in the black market.

But, many poor people in villages have started consuming cheaper hooch and this trade has recently flourished in the rural areas.

Hooch trade has also prompted officials of the excise department to conduct raids in several villages of North Karnataka region. The many theft cases of liquor shops are reported in Karnataka as drunkards have become desperate to get alcohol.

The Karnataka government was planning to allow the sale of liquor after the end of the first phase of lockdown. But, the rising cases of Corona positive cases has prompted it to extend the ban on liquor sale until May 3.

With an aim to provide water to stray animals in Mangaluru, an animal activist announced a project 'Jal' under which free water bowls will be distributed to the people across the city.

Tauseef Ahmed believes many animals and birds do not find source to drink water which leads to death.
"Finding clean and safe drinking water has been a major issue in a lot of places. We humans when we face some scarcity we manage by taking the water out from the well," Ahmed told ANI.

"Unfortunately, that's not the case with when it comes to animals and birds. They do not find sources for water to drink so they eventually end up drinking sewage water and they fall sick. In some cases, even that is not available and due to dehydration, they die," he added.

Under the "Jal" project, Ahmed will distribute free water bowls to the people and expects them to make equal efforts in saving the lives of the animals.

"So, this project "Jal" will be providing 100 free water bowls all over Mangaluru. We are distributing it free of cost. All you have to do is keep the bowls outside in the garden or any places where animals frequently visit. Every day, we just have to fill the bowls with water for the animals. It will help a lot of animals to survive in the harsh weather of summers," Ahmed highlighted.

"We have used cement to make the bowls which will keep the eater really cool. We are spending close to 74 rs per bowl. We have made around 100 bowls and will continue making it. We are trying to cover as many animals as we can," he said.
