On Goa political debut, Hindu Mahasabha promises boycott spree
Panaji: Ahead of the 2017 Goa assembly polls, the Hindu Mahasabha has plans to woo voters with issues like rejection of Mahatma Gandhi’s principles of non-violence and satyagraha, ban on halal meat and a promise of whole range of boycotts.
It will call for boycott of anti-national TV news channels, television debates, Shobha De and Shahrukh Khan.
Speaking at the launch of the Goa unit of the Hindu Mahasabha here on Friday, on the death anniversary of Hindutva pioneer Veer Savarkar, the party’s interim president Anup Sardesai also accused the BJP of minority appeasement.
“Hindu Mahasabha is a strong believer in the Savarkar ideology of ‘Neeti and Anushashan’ (policy and discipline). This country has seen the Gandhian ideology of ‘Ahimsa and Satyagraha’ for 70 years which has resulted in the crime rate reaching alarming proportions,” Sardesai said.
He said in the name of satyagraha, anarchist and anti-social activities like ‘Bharat Bandh’, strikes and road blocks cause immense hardships to countrymen.
Sardesai also claimed that the party, whose national wing was headed by Savarkar during the-independence era, would contest in all 40 legislative assembly seats in Goa.
The party would “start a social media campaign urging people to boycott films, books, etc. of anti-national and anti-Hindu celebrities like Shobha De, Aamir Khan, Shahrukh Khan”.
Incidentally, Sardesai, who recently authored a book on Nathuran Godse a month ago, also credited the social media for a gradual increase in the party’s membership.
Sardesai also said that he party would campaign to make Indian languages a compulsory medium of instruction in schools and crackdown on errant schools run by minority institutions.

What monkey fled with a bag containing evidence in it: Read full story
The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.
In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).
The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.
The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.
Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.
In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.
The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
