Second woman leader from Congress linked to Delhi riots

With the arrest of the National Students Union of India (NSU) lady leader Safoora Zargar, one more link has been established for the Delhi riots with the Congress party. The Delhi Police Special Cell on Saturday night arrested Jamia Millia University MPhil student Safoora Zargar (27) for arranging a flash protest of Muslim women and kids in Jaffrabad in Delhi on the night of February 22, which ultimately led to the Delhi riots, with 53 persons killed and hundreds injured. The Sociology student from Kashmir is active in Congress and its student wing NSU. She was the office bearer of NSU and was involved in many NSU meetings. Off late, she was her hiding her Congress links and was calling herself a Jamia Coordination Committee Member and Media Coordinator. Fancy sounding titles.

The two photos shown below are from her Twitter profile (@SafooraZargar) exposes her NSU links.





Keeping her NSU links, she was actively involved in Shaheen Bagh protests and in taking a hardline Islamic stance with an and anti-Indian line. In January she was seen shouting Azadi slogans in Jamia and went up to sloganeering Azadi for Bihar, Azadi for Kashmir, Azadi for Bihar and even Azadi for Kerala too.



The graphic below shows the pathetic attempt by Congress worker to erase his tracks. Safoora had retweeted too!



In January Safoora Zargar was involved in engineering violent protests against Gulberga also. She was also actively involved in many flash mob protests and seen in Naxal student wing AISA’s protest stages too. Once she brought Mani Shankar Aiyar to the Jamia University when she was the NSU General Secretary in the campus.

New set of cheerleaders for RaGa/ PriVa?

Interestingly many AISA leaders like Sandeep Singh are now seen with Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Vadra’s coteries as highly paid staffers. Sign of new set of sycophants? More trenchant display of rioting in future?

Role of foreign NGOs

Interestingly Safoora was featured in an inveterate anti-Indian US website The Polis Project. In her interview with one Aaquib Khan, a Mumbai-based journalist she talks about Jamia protests, Kashmir’s Article 370 scrapping etc. This shows that Safoora Zargar is involved in professional protesting backed by foreign NGOs[1]. Another interesting thing is that Aaquib Khan is also associated with a big German NGO – Robert Bosch Stiftung Gmbh. This NGO is involved in funding many protests across the world and is a major shareholder of the big multinational firm Robert Bosch.

“The Robert Bosch Stiftung GmbH is one of Europe’s largest foundations associated with a private company. In its charitable work, it addresses social issues at an early stage and develops exemplary solutions. For this purpose, it plans and implements its own projects. Additionally, it supports third-party initiatives that have similar goals. The Robert Bosch Stiftung is active in the areas of health, science and research, education, active citizenship, as well as international understanding and cooperation,” claims the NGO’s Mission.

This goes to show the role of foreign NGOs ranging from Germany to the United States in the anti-CAA protests across India, creating unrest from December 2019 to March 2020.

Interestingly, according to investigators, Safoora Zargar was always in touch with terrorist supporter Salman Nizami, who is a Congress Spokesperson from Kashmir. PGurus has reported the dubious activities of Salman Nizami in engineering protests in JNU a few years ago[2]. Nizami is mostly seen with controversial Congress leader Digvijaya Singh and is now actively involved in social media campaigning for Rahul Gandhi as the next Prime Minister.

According to Delhi Police Safoora Zargar was the arranger and conductor of flash mob of 100s of women and children at Jaffrabad on the late night of February 22. This unexpected road blocking started just 36 hours before US President Donald Trump landed India on February 24. Jaffrabad protest is the fountainhead of Delhi riots which led to the killing of 53 people. Earlier Delhi Police arrested a Mahila Congress leader Ishrat Jahan for instigating violence. Now with the arrest of NSU leader Safoora Zargar, the role of Congress leaders in Delhi riots is becoming more apparent.
