40-Minute Class, Training for Suicidal Bombing! 5,000 Women Join Jaish to Become Fidayeen, Shocking Revelations in Report

A shocking revelation has recently come to light regarding the women’s wing of Jaish-e-Mohammed, called Jamaat-ul-Mominat. According to Masood Azhar’s claims, around 5,000 women have joined the group in the past few weeks. These women are being trained for suicidal bombing. According to NDTV, a training programme named Tufatul Mominat is conducted to connect women with jihadi and extremist ideology, where they are trained for suicide attacks. For this training, each person is required to donate 500 Pakistani rupees. The duration of each class is 40 minutes. These classes are being conducted by the wife of terrorist Umar Farooq, who was involved in planning the Pulwama attack.

It is worth noting that during Operation Sindoor, several family members of Jaish commander Masood Azhar were killed. Since then, he has been furious and is continuously planning attacks. On one hand, Pakistan claims on international platforms that it follows the rules of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), but on the other hand, it provides training for terrorist attacks.

Temple–Dargah Clash: Despite Court Order, Devotees Not Allowed to Light Lamps at Madurai Temple; Violence During Karthigai Deepam Sparks Tension

In Tamil Nadu’s Madurai district, devotees were not allowed to perform Deepadan (lamp lighting) at the Lord Subramanya Swamy Temple on the Tirupparankunram hill, even after a previous order by the court permitting it during the Karthigai Deepam festival. People near the Dargah, located close to the temple, staged a massive protest. During this time, tension escalated between Hindu Munnani workers and members of the Muslim community.

The issue arises because the Sikandar Badshah Dargah is situated near the Lord Subramanya Swamy Temple on the Tirupparankunram hill. After a petition, devotees had been allowed to light lamps on the ancient pillar under the security cover of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF). However, despite this directive, the ritual was not allowed.

According to reports, violent clashes broke out between the protesters and the police. Following the unrest, the Madurai Collector imposed Section 163 (earlier Section 144) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita to control the situation.

Karthigai Deepam is an ancient festival celebrated every year with great enthusiasm and grandeur. It is also considered a symbol of the victory of light over darkness.

“Mosque Near Runway Obstructs Safe Operations,” Says BJP, Calling for Removal of Bankra Mosque from Kolkata Airport

A mosque located inside Kolkata’s Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport has once again triggered a major controversy. BJP leaders have renewed their demand to remove the Bankra Mosque from the airport premises, stating that it poses serious safety and security risks.

The Ministry of Civil Aviation recently confirmed that the mosque’s position near the secondary runway affects safe aircraft operations and restricts emergency runway use. Despite several efforts over the decades to relocate the structure, resistance from the local community has prevented any movement. With increasing passenger traffic and ongoing expansion requirements, BJP leaders maintain that passenger safety cannot be compromised.
