The same people who demanded ban on kashmir files and kerala story will now say "it's just a movie, if you don't like it don't watch"

[mitzm]

The question is how many Hindus have unsubscribed from Netflix so far?

[muralip]

Hindus need to unite to protest heavily once, then they can't dare to think so

[debimukherjee]

Why people watch these people's work. Nasiruddin in that series, what do you expect??? I didn't watched the trailer.
Ban Netflix.

[ramanagvr]

Is it Netflix conditions or overaction of the Director or Script writer? These people do not have fear on Hindus like they fear Muslims?

*2 lakh Muslim children disappeared overnight from Uttarakhand*

Then the dreadful truth came to the light, even Modi was surprised to see it!

*Devendra Gupta, Advocate High Court Prayagraj writes these findings.*

Recently, former V.O. Hamid Ansari said that there is a feeling of restlessness and insecurity among the Muslims of the country. A very sensational news coming out just now has proved why people like Hamid Ansari have a feeling of insecurity. It is reported that about 2 lakh Muslim children studying in Madrasas in Uttarakhand have disappeared overnight. Knowing the whole news, the ground will slip under your feet too.

In fact, for the last 50-60 years, children studying in Madrasas were being given scholarships by the Government every month. But as soon as the Uttarakhand government asked to link the bank accounts of these children with the AADHAAR number, 1, 95, 360 children disappeared instantly. How? Till now, in the name of these non-existent students, the government was distributing scholarships of about Rs 14.5 crores every year, only in Uttarakhand. Which is now reduced to only 2 crores.. You can image the scale of corruption throughout the country that has been going on for the last 50-60 yrs!!!

*what is the whole matter..??*

In fact, these 1, 95, 360 missing children never existed, money was being taken from the government by Madrasas on the basis of false names of children. Since years Congress government has been obviously looting the money and the commission money form Madarsas have been distributed from bottom to top, otherwise how could it be that the Congress government did not even know about this scam and BJP found out as soon as it came.

*So why are Muslims insecure?*

This is a matter of Uttarakhand alone, now you can understand for yourself that why so much ruckus was created when Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath ji asked Madrasas to get themselves registered in Uttar Pradesh. This has proved why Muslims are feeling insecure after coming to the BJP government. Because they have not been paying taxes not contributing to the economy and also were looting the tax money paid by honest citizens.

Till financial year 2014-15, nearly. 2, 21, 800 Muslim students were getting government scholarships in Uttarakhand. As soon as they were linked with AADHAAR, their number fell to only 26, 440 and the number of Muslim students decreased by 88%. This is the scholarship which is given to the students of BPL i.e. Below Poverty Line and very poor families. The government also brought a provision for those students who do not have AADHAAR, such students are also getting the benefit of scholarship, but for this it is necessary for them to get the verification done by the District Magistrate. But how can there be verification, when they are not physically existing.

*Fake Madrasas, fake students, and loot of public money!!*

People's money was being looted for years on the basis of fake names. This is nothing, and listen. Leave aside the students, here even many Madrasas were running only on paper. In reality, there were not many Madrasas and neither did any students study in them. They were simply getting government funds comfortably by sending names of fake students.

Surprisingly, in 6 out of 13 districts of Uttarakhand, not a single Muslim student came to take the scholarship. The maximum loot was going on in Haridwar district. After this the numbers of Udhamsinghnagar, Dehradun and Nainital districts came into light.

*More children registered than the collective population of the district?*

Shocking.. in some districts, till now as many Muslim students were being given scholarship, whose collective number was more than even the total population of those districts. Congress was allowing all this to happen for decades and got their huge share.

After the BJP government came to power, crackdown was started on this scam, then immediately the persons like Hamid Ansari started feeling insecure. However, now the district administration has been ordered to prepare a list of the culprits of this scam and take action against them. The arrest of the Madrasas robbers has started, it is feared that not only will they be punished, as well as the money looted from them will also be recovered.

That's why all the problems are being created in

There is much more going on in Uttar Pradesh. Government money is being looted in many such ways, as well as intelligence agencies have also alerted that radical education is also being given to children in many Madrasas. In view of such disturbances, Chief Minister Shri Yogi ji has made registration of all Madrasas mandatory. Many Madrasas are running in the state without registration, no one has any idea about where the funds are being spent.

The government has no control over what is being taught in these Madrasas. Whereas such students continue to get all the benefits under minority welfare schemes. The Government of Uttar Pradesh spends Rs 4000 crores annually on about 800 madrasas running in the state, out of which hardly 8-10% Madarsas exist physically and only 12% of students in these Madarsas physically exist, the rest are fake names to loot tax money. That is why corrupt people are getting upset due to this crack down.

After reading it completely, kindly forward to all the group so that everyone knows how corruption is being tackled by BJP and that is why congress is restless and trying to create chaos in every possible manner by spreading fake news and calling for farmer protest, Shaheen bagh protest etc
