ED files money laundering case against Tablighi Jamaat leader Maulana Saad

Updated: Apr 16, 2020, 10:35 PM IST

It is alleged that the money received by Saad for the Tablighi Jamaat came through hawala.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday filed a money laundering case against Tablighi Jamaat leader Maulana Saad Kandhalvi and other accused persons. The case was filed under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), based on a predicate offence registered by Delhi Police, reports said.


It is alleged that the money received by Saad for the Tablighi Jamaat came through hawala, and it will be investigated by the ED.

The Crime Branch of Delhi Police will also question Nizamuddin Markaz chief Kandhalvi in connection with the FIR against him and his outfit for violating government's lockdown orders that banned gatherings.

As per the reports, Crime Branch had earlier interrogated three sons of Maulana Saad. Saad has so far evaded arrest and put himself in home-quarantine. He was earlier issued notices in connection with the gathering organised in Delhi.

Including Saad, at least 17 people have been charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder for holding a gathering in the Nizamuddin Markaz last month that authorities say led to a big jump in coronavirus infections in India.

The congregation of the Tablighi Jamaat in Nizamuddin became an epicentre of coronavirus spread after several attendees the event tested positive and infected hundreds across the country.

The headquarters of the Jamaat in Delhi were sealed and thousands of followers, including foreigners, were taken into quarantine.

Initially, a case was registered against Muhammad Saad Kandhalvi, the chief of the centre, for violating a ban on big gatherings but later invoked the law against culpable homicide. “Delhi police had filed a first information report earlier against the Tablighi chief, now section 304 has been added," the officer informed.

‘Look To Tirupur, Not China For PPE Suits’

Shanmugam has drawn the attention of officials from the Union Ministry of Textiles in this regard

CHENNAI: The Central government’s decision to procure millions of Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) suits from China has not gone down well with the Tirupur garment cluster in Tamil Nadu, which manufactures textile worth Rs 60,000 crore a year for exports and domestic markets.

The textile manufacturers and exporters in Tirupur, who are facing tough times due to massive cancellation of export orders, strongly feel that the Centre, instead of importing PPE kits from China, should support them in mass manufacturing of kits and masks. The units are capable of producing PPE kits and masks at par with Chinese products, but all they need is a little support from the government in the form of technical know-how and guidance on the standard operating procedures, they feel.

“The move will serve multiple purposes as the government will get PPE suits timely and at economical prices. At the same time, the manufacturing units in Tirupur, which are struggling for survival, will get some business as well. This will help Tirupur to get exposure on medical textile sector,” said Raja M Shanmugam, president of Tirupur Exporters’ Association (TEA).

Shanmugam has drawn the attention of officials from the Union Ministry of Textiles in this regard.

Over 100 manufacturing units in Tirupur have started manufacturing masks and PPE kits and are supplying it to different state governments. They started on humanitarian grounds initially, supplying to the local administration. But now, the units have started selling it commercially, following the huge demand.

“With hand-holding from the government, the Tirupur cluster can transform itself into a medical textile hub and it is much-needed at the moment as the battle against coronavirus is going to be a long one. We need millions of different grades of PPE suits, as everyone from doctors to sanitary workers need it. We cannot depend on China, as importing the products from that country will consume more time,” added Shanmugam.

From now on Paki mercenary pigs will be burnt at the stake. No handing over bodies of dead terrorists due to the pandemic. This should now be the norm for at least the next two years.

Sir is it official ? Has the Govt changed the policy of handing over dead bodies of terrorists back to family?

India stings Pakistan over its minority record at IMF meet for $1.4 bn aid


At the IMF meeting, Surjit Bhalla pointed to reports to show that minorities such as the Hindus, Sikhs, Christians and Ahmadiyya communities are treated with disadvantage in Covid-19 relief


Bhalla pointed to reports to show that minorities such as the Hindus, Sikhs, Christians and Ahmadiyya communities - the most vulnerable in Pakistan’s society - are treated with disadvantage in mitigation response by the federal and provincial government authorities, people familiar with the proceedings of the IMF meeting told Hindustan Times.

The Indian economist also asked Pakistan to carry out effective and targeted disbursement of social sector spending that focuses on the most vulnerable category and not undeserving beneficiaries.
The jab at Pakistan for its treatment of its minorities is seen to be linked to Prime Minister Imran Khan’s criticism of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging that the move to scrap Jammu and Kashmir’s special status and the enactment of the Citizenship Amendment Act was an effort to target Muslims.

It is beyond comprehension as to why India is falling over itself to buy PPE kits from China in spite of many countries dumping them being far below standard. Now DRDO has also tested these kits and found them to be substandard, And yet we are going ahead. Is it to placate China?

Sir is it official ? Has the Govt changed the policy of handing over dead bodies of terrorists back to family?

Yep! But the caveat is: till the COVID threat is over which needs to be declared officially by the govt. I guess it would not be before Sept 2020. Now after that, such unwritten policies may change keeping the 'sentiments' of the Kashmiris in view.

Do note that there may be instances where injured terrorists may escape and later succumb to their injuries which we would be unaware of. Such terrorists especially the local ones would be given a janaza that would be difficult to stop. And there lies the danger of the COVID spread.

Can't they invest via Hong Kong route. I mean they can always create a subsidiary company in another country and that subsidiary company would be able to invest in India via direct route. Still something is better than nothing .

HK, Mauritius, Seychelles et al the old money trail is closely watched these days. But I guess they can always make new ways of facilitating acquisitions. It will be difficult now because a lot of countries is putting up laws to guard against Chinese money. Difficult not impossible.

Commie presstitutes are same everywhere on earth.

CNN publishes Chinese propaganda praising China, degrading the US Navy

I don't get CNN.


The production company of CNN is WarnerMedia News & Sports.

WarnerMedia News & Sports is in turn a division of the multinational mass media and entertainment conglomerate Warner Media, LLC

In turn, Warner Media , LLC is s subsidiary of AT&T Inc, the world's largest telecommunications company.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNN

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WarnerMedia#WarnerMedia_News_&_Sports

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT&T



AT&T is reported to voluntarily(?) offer its customer data to the CIA for a competitive price.

https://www.businessinsider.com/cia-pays-att-phone-records-2013-11?r=US&IR=T


AT&T is also the global communications network of choice for the US military,in the Pacific region.

https://about.att.com/story/att_selected_by_defense_information_systems_agency.html


Just looking at this (all freely available in the public domain) , most people here might suspect that CNN is in all likelihood the propaganda arm of the US military-industrial complex. No?

Are stories like this designed to give an impression that CNN is completely truthful, to the extent that it might be prepared to go against America's interests, in the search of a good story? Do they also offer the. illusion of debate and a way of getting the American(and international) public engaged in relatively trivial left wing-right wing arguments ,while the big stories involving the US go unreported?

And when CNN or any other major Western news outfit get criticised for not doing serious coverage of the long-term strategic aims of America or big controversial stories about US military operations , they can always point out their balance, with their favourable coverage of the left or America's adversaries in little pieces like this.

If this is correct , it's all a very sophisticated form of information control. I'm not sure how anyone can go about challenging it.

Yeah, the concept of "social distancing" must be pretty alien to working sailors inside a warship or submarine.

If one person gets it , a good proportion of people in the vessel are going to get it.
