Sarwar Chishti, the Secretary of Anjuman Committee of Ajmer Sharif Dargah made a controversial statement on June 14. He said, “We will take two eyes to the police, we will stare and we will also dare. We will not sit quiet. We will shake Hindustan.” Is Chishti devising an 'Anti-Modi' plan?

Evidence found so far clearly shows that Umesh Kolhe was murdered by radical Islamists for extending support to former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma, who had made a blasphemous remark against Prophet Mohammad. Kolhe had forwarded a supporter’s message on the WhatsApp group.
According to the news published in the media, a terrorist caught in Jammu was the chief of the BJP's IT cell. What is their collusion with terrorists, he questioned and urged the agency to probe the matter.
The beheading of tailor Kanhaiya Lal in Udaipur and the fatal stabbing of Umesh Kolhe in Amaravati were allegedly carried out by the people who wanted to take “revenge” on the victims for supporting now-removed BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma after her controversial comments on Prophet Mohammed.
Kanhaiya Lal was murdered at his shop in Rajasthan's Udaipur city on June 28, while Kolhe was killed in Amravati on June 21.
Umesh Prahladrao Kolhe's killing is linked to certain posts that he had shared in WhatsApp groups, supporting Nupur Sharma's comments about Prophet Mohammad, police said.
The curfew was imposed across the state in the wake of the killing of a tailor Kanhaiya Lal on June 28 (Tuesday) over a social media post supporting suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma. It also triggered communal tension in the city.
"Udaipur has been a very peaceful city and no such hate crimes have happened. This is a setback not only for Udaipur but for entire Rajasthan where tourism is a key industry," Sanjay Kaushik, secretary of Rajasthan Association of Tour Operators, said in Jaipur.
The killing in Amravati has similarities to tailor Kanhaiya Lal's beheading in Rajasthan's Udaipur, as he was also killed for supporting Nupur Sharma.
After the gruesome killing of Kanhaiya Lal, Mohammad Riyaz and Ghaus Mohammad sent the same message to their handlers in Pakistan. A new CCTV footage has emerged in which one of the accused, Ghaus Mohammad, is seen changing his blood-stained clothes on a moving bike.
Kanhaiya Lal was hacked to death on Tuesday afternoon by two cleaver-wielding men, who posted online a grisly video of the crime saying they were avenging an insult to Islam. The killing has sparked widespread outrage.
Amravati Umesh Kolhe Murder: Just like Udaipur, another incident came to light in Amravati, Maharashtra. The police of the Aghadi government kept telling the murder in Amravati as road rout, now that the government is no more, it has come to know that a chemist was killed in the same way as Kanhaiyalal's murder was murdered in Udaipur.
Riaz Akhtari and Ghouse Mohammad were arrested on the same day of the murder, hours after they allegedly hacked the tailor to death with a cleaver at his shop for extending support to now suspended BJP leader Nupur Sharma, and posted videos online saying they are avenging an insult to Islam.
The point to note is that all these caustic remarks by the bench are not part of the brief four-line order in which the petitioner was allowed to withdraw her petition. It means that Nupur Sharma can approach high courts and trial courts for relief. The sharp observations made by the vacation bench are however surprising.
