A Qadri class feat now in India as well
Guru in Indian ashram stand-off accused of treason
Indian authorities have accused a Hindu religious leader of treason after a deadly stand-off at an ashram where the guru surrounded himself with thousands of followers in an attempt to resist arrest on murder charges.

Police in the north Indian state of Haryana said they found four bodies after they stormed the ashram of the self-styled Sant Rampalji Maharaj on Wednesday, a day after fighting pitched battles with the 63-year-old religious leader’s armed militiamen. Two more people, including a baby, later died in hospital.
Authorities on Wednesday said they had evacuated as many as 15,000 people, many of whom claimed they’d been kept inside the fortified compound against their will, as food and supplies dwindled.

“The godman was using his devotees as a human shield,” S.N. Vaisht, a senior police officer, told reporters.

Police finally arrested the sect leader on Wednesday night and he was expected to appear in court on Thursday. Police said he would be charged with treason. Postmortem examinations are being carried out on the bodies found inside the compound, which authorities said bore no visible wounds or injury marks.

Rampal Singh Jatin was a junior engineer with the Haryana Irrigation Department until he resigned in 1995 and set up shop as a charismatic, sharp-tongued preacher.

Rampal proclaims his devotion to Kabir, a 15th century mystic, peace-loving poet and saint, who rejected the rigid Hindu caste system and idol worship. But in contrast to the poetry of his guru, Baba Rampal adopted caustic and aggressive language that antagonised more orthodox Hindus.

The murder charges against the cult leader stem from a 2006 pitched battle in Haryana, where one person was killed and 59 injured, when Rampal’s supporters clashed with disciples of a well-established, reformist Hindu sect, the Arya Samaj, after he allegedly denigrated its 19th century founder.

After the 2006 violence, authorities in Haryana seized Rampal’s ashram, and he spent nearly two years in jail. After his release, he set up in a different ashram, and refused to attend court hearings in the continuing murder case, prompting the court to issue a warrant for his arrest.

Rampal is not the only Hindu sect leader – or “godman” as they are popularly known in the Indian media – to run into legal trouble with the authorities.

Last year, Indian police launched a manhunt for Asaram Bapu, a hugely popular septuagenarian preacher, after a teenage girl accused him of sexually molesting her. He was finally arrested in a midnight raid in one of his ashrams in Rajasthan.

But with their huge numbers of followers, charismatic Hindu preachers also wield tremendous political clout. This week, India’s new government decided to provide the highest-level government security – at taxpayer expense – to Baba Ramdev, a yoga guru who campaigned heavily for Prime Minister Narendra Modi during this year’s elections.

Baba Ramdev, who believes yoga can cure HIV/Aids and cancer, will now have a round-the-clock squad of 70 paramilitary personnel dedicated to his personal protection.
Stupid comparison !
No one knows this RAMDev fully even in india?
While TUQ is famous all around the world?
Specially making Ganjas bowing down to his feets?
Can't say word against him now a days why?
 
People that follow Qadri need to really wonder if they have mental freedom and the ability to think for themselves. Correct me if mistake, but most present qualities of brainwashed cultists who will do anything to defend their "leader".

Your hatred seems totally biased, be more specific in your claim or else it proves you are another brainwashed madrasa child.
 
PAT to relaunch protest campaign on 17th

LAHORE: In a bid to seek justice in the Model Town case, the Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) is going to re-launch its protest campaign against the PML-N government.

A decision taken a couple of days ago was announced here on Tuesday. The first rally in this respect will be held in Lahore on Jan 17 where schedule for the next phase will be announced.

Interestingly, the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI), a partner of the PAT in the Islamabad sit-it, is also going to announce on Jan 18 the next phase of its protest to seek a fair probe into alleged rigging in the 2013 general elections.

A PAT spokesman, however, said resumption of protests by both parties was a “mere coincidence”.

“Ours is just a re-scheduling of the Dec 17 rally that was to be taken out to mark six months of the Model Town incident and was postponed in the wake of the Peshawar school attack,” Muhammad Nurullah said, negating the impression the two “cousins-in-protest” were out for another ‘joint venture’. The party was likely to raise four demands at the rally, venue for which was yet to be finalised.

It would also seek making public the judicial commission report in the Model Town incident, disbanding of the Joint Investigation Team (JIT), which according to the PAT was formed by the government without consulting it, and referral of the case to a military court, said party President Dr Raheeq Abbasi.

He said so far they were planning to gather workers outside the Lahore Press Club. The venue could change if a bigger event was planned and requested Chairman Dr Tahirul Qadri to address protesters through video link from Canada.

Families of the Model Town victims would initiate a signature campaign against former principal secretary to the Punjab chief minister Dr Tauqir Shah, one of the accused in the Model Town case, at the PAT Secretariat on Wednesday (today). The petition along with a brief description of his alleged role in the incident would be sent to the World Trade Organisation secretariat in Geneva where Dr Shah had been nominated for its Pakistan representative, Dr Abbasi said.

He lamented that the government was forcing them to take to the streets as it was not making public the report of the judicial commission let alone prosecuting the suspects.

“To get the commission’s report we had to approach the high court but to everyone’s surprise, the home secretary has not yet sent it to the court despite strict orders. In the presence of this government we don’t believe we can get justice.”

He reiterated his party’s stance that Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif should resign before any inquiry commission started its investigation. The PAT, which refused to join proceedings of the present JIT, would fully cooperate if investigators were nominated after consulting the party, he added.
