A repeat of Vastraharan.

"At least seven Indian political leaders, TMC's Mahua Moitra, Shiv Sena UBT's Priyanka Chaturvedi, Congress's Shashi Tharoor and its Chairman of Media & Publicity have said that they received alerts from Apple warning them about 'state-sponsored attackers' targeting their iPhone. They took to social media to share screenshots of the alerts they received from Apple." BT. In a shameless lie, "Minister of State Rajeev Chandrashekhar said that Union Minister Piyush Goyal also received the message, which suggested that Apple's message about hacking was kosher. The claim turned out to be a lie and the media outlet dropped the 'exclusive' claim," wrote Suhit K Sen. Mahua Moitra is a special target because she dared to ask questions of Prime Minister Narendra Modi who has been elevated to a god by his party, the BJP. "On Twitter, Moitra has asked Modi why India's 'athlete betis (daughters)' can't be protected from 'powerful BJP predators' and why the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) can't finish Adani's investigation within the Supreme Court time frame, which is two months." ETV Bharat. This relates to a report from Hindenburg Research which said that "Indian conglomerate Adani Group has engaged in a brazen stock manipulation and accounting fraud scheme over the course of decades." Gautam Adani is from Gujarat and is reported to be close to Modi. wikipedia. Moitra had to be silenced somehow. Suddenly, "BJP Lok Sabha MP Nishikant Dubey...leveled massive allegations against Trinamool MP Mahua Moitra that she took cash and gifts from businessman Darshan Hirandani to 'ask questions in Parliament'. Mahua Moitra responded to the allegations and said CBI is welcome to investigate 'right after they finish investigating Adani's offshore money trail, over-invoicing, benami (alias) account." HT. So Moitra was called to answer questions in front of the Parliamentary Ethics Panel. BS. Moitra and opposition members of the panel "stormed" out of the meeting alleging "personal and unethical questions". "Unethical, sordid, and prejudiced behavior meted out to me at hearing of ethics committee by chairman. I've been subjected to the proverbial 'vastraharan' by him in the presence of all members," said Moitra. "Vastraharan" in Mahabharata was the attempted disrobing of Queen Draupadi after she was gambled away by her husband, probably the worst abuse of a woman in Hindu mythology. Pratha. The Chairperson BJP MP Vinod Kumar Sonkar asked her "Who do you talk to at night, how many times?" "Have you been to a hotel with X...have you stayed there?" "You call so and so a dear friend, does his wife know about this...what is going on?" DH. This is truly personal, irrelevant, insulting, intrusive, disgusting and barbaric. No objection from women MPs of the BJP to this brutish patriarchy. "Alongside the clandestine spying, there has been a tactic, now perfected by a psychotically authoritarian and sectarian regime, of using law-enforcement authorities to target the Opposition on trumped-up charges at convenient times - usually in the run-up to elections or when opposition parties are engaged in programs of mass mobilisation." DH. Adolf Hitler and Brother Number One Pol Pot (Britannica) turned their peoples into murderers. But Germany and Cambodia are relatively homogeneous nations whereas India has 122 major languages (wikipedia). How have the enormously diverse people of this great nation turned into zombie stormtroopers for the regime? It really is a tragedy.
