Sir
1 The Wire chief editor issued a statement yesterday that she as a
journalist will not support Arnab Goswami whole he is being framed charges
after charges with the brutal attacks because of sharad pawar behind. Who
is that chief editor of wire and how related to CaA agitations in Jan 2020
can be seen here:
"Journalist Arfa Khanum’s speech on CAA shared with distorted
interpretation by BJP office-bearers
*“The Islamists want CAA (citizenship {amendment}act) protests to be
‘inclusive’ only till the time you, the non Muslims, start accepting their
religious identity, beliefs and supremacist slogans as gospel,”*
tweeted BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya
while sharing a video of journalist Arfa Khanum.
In the 42 second clip, Khanum can be heard saying, *“A common opinion
should be developed at least among the people here that until we become an
ideal society where our religious identity, our religious beliefs and our
slogans are accepted, we should carry out an inclusive protest. This
protest is also taking us to a society where everybody will be included. So
we aren’t compromising our ideology, I want to reiterate this. We are not
compromising out ideology but changing our strategy.”*
[Translated from: *“**यहाँ* *पर* *एक* *आम* *राय* *कम* *से* *कम* *जितने*

The video was also tweeted by BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra who took it up
a notch and claimed that Khanum disclosed the strategy to develop an
‘Islamic Caliphate’.* “Hindus will be required only till the time an
Islamic society is not created. (**हिंदुओं* *की* *आवश्यकता* *केवल** “**तब*
*तक**” **ही* *है* *जब* *तक* *इस्लामिक* *Society **का* *निर्माण* *न* *हो*
*जाए**)**,” *wrote Patra.
Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri also tweeted the video along similar lines –
*“Islamic
Caliphate Chief strategist @khanumarfa explains how to fool people with
words like ‘inclusive’ in order to establish an ideal Islamic Society in
India.”*

The complete speech delivered by journalist Arfa Khanum at Aligarh Muslim
University (AMU) was uploaded by *The Wire *on January 24, 2020. It is
titled as, *“The language of anti-CAA movement shouldn’t be Muslim but
secular.” *Khanum is a senior editor at *The Wire. *
Nearly half-way into her speech, the journalist congratulates the women of
AMU who shaped the protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). At
14:42, Khanum says, *“However, it is important to understand how we want to
protest.”* She expresses solidarity with those who feel that their
Muslimness is being attacked however urges the audience that the protests
need to have an ‘inclusive’ shape and should not turn into a ‘Muslim-only’
agitation.
“*If only Muslims protest in this country. If only 20 crore people protest,
will the rest of the 100 crore want to be a part if you raise religious
slogans? …What I want to say is make the protests more inclusive…You are a
Muslim, there are no doubts about that and I have no objection to accepting
the fact that you are being attacked. But understand that these protests
are for India’s secularism and its Constitution,” *she says.
The part of her speech that has been clipped and presented on social media
starts from 17:15 minutes <https://youtu.be/yGZgVvoGeLk?t=1037>. In fact,
this portion, even when heard independently, does not translate to Khanum
promoting the establishment of an ‘Islamic Caliphate/ society’. *“This
protest is also taking us to a society where everybody will be included. So
we aren’t compromising our ideology, I want to reiterate this. We are not
compromising out ideology but changing our strategy,” *she states. Here,
the word ‘strategy’ implies adhering to a form of protest where religious
slogans are shunned and a secular movement is embraced.
*“On January 12th, I was invited to AMU to speak on a program on the CAA.
Activist Medha Patkar, historian Prof Irfan Habib, and student activist
Ayesha Renne were my co-panellists. Many students were insisting that they
wanted to protest as Muslims because the attack is on their Muslim
identity. To counter that, I argued that although in an ideal society,
everyone should be welcome to join the protests with their own beliefs and
slogans, including religious ones if they feel motivated by them, we are
far from being an ideal society, and this is a larger fight to save the
Indian Constitution and its secular character. Hence, we should allow only
secular slogans in the protests. Since these protests should eventually
take us toward a society that is truly inclusive, the protests too should
be inclusive,”* said Khanum speaking with Alt News.
The journalist has expressed similar views in the past as well. In a
December 30 tweet thread, she wrote, *“While it’s perfectly fine for
Muslims to draw strength from their religious beliefs, it’ll end up
alienating a lot of non-Muslim allies…we live in an extremely polarised
polity that runs high on propaganda. Here optics matter. Religious slogans
on secular protests are bad optics.” *
That Khanum was advocating for inclusive and secular protests was also
explained by journalist Marya Shakil.
A speech delivered by Arfa Khanum at Aligarh Muslim University was clipped
and misrepresented on social media by BJP officer-bearers and supporters of
the party. They claimed that the journalist was promoting the establishment
of Islamic society and urging protesters to maintain a pretence of support
to non-Muslims until such a society is created. However, Khanum was stating
the complete opposite. She urged protesters to not use religious slogans to
maintain the secular character of the movement.
An old student of AMU and chief editor of WIRE magazine, says that she will
not support Arnab Goswami as it is not a case of a journalist. 81120"

3 What people here do not know is, the USA is governed by more powerful
senators than the President and USA interests lean more on India more than
China and Pakistan, since Russian threat and Arab threat can be balanced
only by India. Pl wait and see. KR IRS
