Days after the Missionary of Charity ‘baby-on sale’ scandal was brought to light creating much of a turbulence, the Jharkhand police swooped down on 88 Christian missionary-operated non-governmental organizations (NGOs), on grievous charges of misusing foreign funds for forceful religious conversion of tribals and political subversion, as exclusively reported by MyNation.

As confirmed by the Jharkhand police as many as 33 NGO’s have already been raided and rest of the task would be completed soon. These NGOs have been reported to have received in excess of Rs 250 crore funding between 2013 and 2016 under the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA).

A ‘CID report’ accessed by MyNation, makes grave charges against the Christian Missionary operated NGOs’ running ‘hospitals, schools, shelter homes’ saying that these organizations “train tribal women as nurses and sends them abroad. They also pressurize them to convert to Christianity.” It also mentions that many of these institutions were indulging in political subversion and anti-State activities. “Many of these institutions, especially the missionary NGOs, misuse funds received under FCRA to foment anti-State rallies and protests,” the report noted.

Mostly all of these organizations have received funds running in crores, with the top 11 receiving funds between Rs 7.5 crore and Rs 39 crore. Name of few with the annual break-up of funds received from 2013-2016 are listed below:

JAMMU, June 22: The case of a BJP worker from Rajasthan posing as Dr Jitendra Singh, a well known Jammu based BJP leader and a nationally known Diabetologist, has been reported from Bharatpur in Rajasthan.

This man, who is a namesake of Dr Jitendra Singh and whose full name is Dr Jitendra Singh “Faujdar”, had also unsuccessfully contested the Rajasthan Assembly election in 2003 from Nadbai, Bharatpur constituency as a BJP candidate.

The most interesting part is that when Jammu based Dr Jitendra Singh was nominated to BJP National Executive Committee for the second consecutive term in March this year by the BJP National President Rajnath Singh, this Bharatpur based Dr Jitendra Singh sent out a fictitious press hand-out to this effect as if he had been appointed. What is more, this man also arranged felicitation functions for himself in and around Bharatpur hailing his nomination as BJP National Executive Committee (NEC) Member by displaying the name in the list of BJP NEC members which was actually the name of Jammu based Dr Jitendra Singh. He has also been reportedly going around throwing his weight in local administrative circles as BJP National Executive member.

The case of this imposter has now been brought to the notice of BJP Party High Command and a formal complaint regarding this has been filed by former BJP district President of Bharatpur Rajvir Singh who has produced local newspaper clippings of felicitation functions held in the honour of this imposter and also released to the Rajasthan press the photographs of real NEC member Dr Jitendra Singh who is presently based at Jammu. In his complaint to Party High Command, Rajvir Singh writes that this imposter is not only misusing the name of BJP but also making a laughing stock of the BJP workers.

The ordeal of children illegally adopted from a maternity home in Mysuru by childless couples is far from over.

Four months after a city court gave interim custody of three children to couples who had adopted them illegally by paying money, the order has been recalled. This follows an appeal filed by the Mysuru district Child Welfare Committee (CWC).

The Principal Senior Chief Judicial Magistrate’s court in Mysuru has directed the caregivers to hand over custody of the children to the CWC. Two of the children are girls, aged six and seven, while one is a boy aged less than three.

Notice to caregivers

Based on the court order dated August 4, CWC has issued notices to the caregivers to immediately hand over custody of the children. While the six-year-old girl is with her caregivers in Thrissur in Kerala, the boy is with his caregivers in Dakshina Kannada. The seven-year-old girl is in Mysuru.

Guwahati: The Assam State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (ASCPCR) is conducting an inquiry into the alleged sexual assault on three inmates of the SOS Children's Village here at Borjhar.

On a cold afternoon in 2017, I was fighting off the urge for a nap when a message popped up on Facebook:

Ms. Demick. You contacted me a long time ago? Are you still interested in talking with me? If so, my family and I are interested.

I was the New York correspondent for the Los Angeles Times and was exhausted from covering the aftermath of the presidential inauguration. I tapped out a curt reply, saying I didn’t know who he was.

My mom adopted a little Chinese girl years ago … and it appears like she has a twin sister still in China.

I bolted upright. Of course I hadn’t forgotten.

Recently the Bombay high court reunited a 14-year-old Hindu girl with the four-member Muslim family that brought her up ever since her biological mother abandoned her.

Justice Gautam Patel of Bombay high court ignored the biological mother’s plea for her custody primarily on the ground that the woman was involved in some immoral activity.

The girl was handed over the foster family on July 24.

The Muslim family filed a Petition in the high court, seeking guardianship of the girl. They contended that she had been living with them and has been taken care of as a family member since her biological mother abandoned her and moved to Kanpur.

The Petitioner Family complained that the biological mother returned to Mumbai and demanded the girl’s custody. They said the biological mother and one of her male friends had forcibly taken away the girl. The girl was brought back only after the petitioners approached the Child Welfare Committee.

Hyderabad: The Golconda Police on Monday rescued 36 children, including 30 boys and six girls, from an unregistered orphanage in Rajendranagar, and handed them over to the Women and Child Welfare department.

The owners of home, Esther Rani and Ramesh, used to force the children to beg at public places such as Golconda Fort in the name of raising funds,” police said.

A case was booked against them, after which they were arrested and produced in court. They were remanded in judicial custody.
