we know he is not innocent, I hope strict action is taken against him.” Specialinvestigations are going against Babu Bajrangi who is claimed to have stabbed apregnant woman 41 times, ripped open her womb and threw the unborn child on

convinced by the proof collected between February 27 2002 and January 2010,and believes that Modi should be punished and should step down from Chief

Minister ship.

‘Justice shall be served’1st January 2010; the commission has gathered again to discuss solutions and serve justice to those

sacrificed in the name of religion.

The second day of the commission began with the discussion of all that took place in thepast eight years. By the time the commission sat down to discuss possible solutions, many

more incidents had occurred. Many more were killed, raped, beheaded; children weretorn away from their parents all because of intolerant, narrow-minded people.Since theburning of the S6 coach, many more events have followed. Buildings have been burnt,

families uprooted and more citizens have been killed, but the worst post-Godhra incidentwas the Naroda-Patiya Massacre. A mob of 5000 pro-Hindu bhakts had attacked

member of the Muslim community, looting, raping and killing over a hundred people. Asof 2004, the Supreme Court has intervened and has prosecuted those involved in the

riots. This resulted in hundreds of convictions. The Bharatiya Janta Partytried to suppressthe investigations which only lead to more suspicions. In 2005, the U.S imposed a visa ban

on Modi for his role in fueling the riots and giving security to extreme Hindu mobmembers. The most controversial accusation was however not this, but the Tehalka

incident in 2007. A weekly magazine, Tehalka, secretly videotaped senior police officersand politicians boasting about their role in the riots that shook Gujarat in 2002. ‘’Eight

years ago we searched for evidence, now we have it.’’ These were the words of Setalvadwho accused Modi of hiding Babu Bajrangi, an extremist. According to his FIR, he rippedopen a pregnant Muslim woman’s womb and stabbed her forty-one times. He later flungthe baby away with a sword. Bajrangi also confessed calling the Home Minister Jaldeep

Patel. ‘’We felt like Maharana Pratap’’ said Babu after killing Muslims.‘’Mr. Modi is not aninnocent man.’’, ’’There is a criminal amongst us’’.He gave shelter to those who killedwithout mercy, he played an indirect yet major role in fueling the mobs. Years have

passed yet those who had been sacrificed have not been brought to justice. The committeeawaits a solution, justice for those who aided in killing of citizens based on their religion.

A mockery in the name of the Constitution.

NANAVATI- MEHTA COMMISSION

By Navya Mathur

‘Capable or not?’1st January 2010; conference reveals the truthThe Press Conference began with a round of

questions directed towards the commission.

The first question was regarding the number of causalities till 2010, inclusive of the GodhraTrain burning incident. The total number of casualties reported was 1103 including those

who had been killed on 27thFebruary 2002. The question seemed to have made an impacton the committee as it served as a reminder of the lives lost in the name of religion. Mr.

Narendra Modi believes that he is “capable of running a state” albeit the others disagree.The Chairperson of the Human Rights Council argued that “after the incidents of the Gujarat

riots… (If) anyone believes he is capable of running a state, no one should live in thatstate”. Upon asking the committee if they believe he is fit for running a government, most

agreed with a few exceptions. The committee had not come to a particular conclusion, but itwas widely agreed upon that Narendra Modi was unfit to run a government. Mr. Teesta

Setalvad, when asked if there are any possible solutions, came up with one. He stated thathe has made a petition to place Modi behind bars and he resign as soon as the petition is

signed. Although no one has actually signed the petition, it seems to have many supporters.Farooq Bhana, Bilal Hussain Kalota, CHRC strongly support Mr. Setalvad’s petition.When he

was questioned about his capability he answered with confidence, but his insecurityovertook. “I think there are a lot…less, less proofs and fact now that I am the culprit, thereare more culprits”This was said by Modi when ask about his capability. Does this prove hisinnocence? No! Rather it aggravates the accusation so wrongly thrown on him.The CHRC

stated that there have been many Human Rights Violations since the beginning of the riots.Article 21 has been violated along with Article 15. When the CHRC stated this Modi did

nothing to counter. This only shows his incapability in running a government and treatingpeople as equals. Those in charge should view all citizens as equals regardless of their

religious identity.

Do-Says and Don't-Says Spilling the secrets of the secret service 

There’s a lot of suspicion being raised about the secrets

being kept and the secrets being spilled in the secret

service. The slip ups, a few representatives almost

revealing information and being ushered to stop. The

suspicion that the secret service may be hiding something

DRASTIC is on the edge of our minds. But as the recent

trend says, spill the tea. Following the news about the

sudden death of Andrei Sakharov, a respected gentleman

against the ideals of communism, there were a few

speculations in the Five Eyes that this death was staged by

the Soviet Union. When asked to express their views about

why they thought this was staged, almost all of them

replied saying that Andrei was an open critic of the Soviet

Union and the USSR knew that he would be of value to the

secret service and therefore, they staged his death to

distract the secret service from other upcoming

scenes. The representative of ASIS had also mentioned

that she would send in highly trained spies to protest, as

protesters were already getting arrested. She stated that

the spies would have some kind of weapons with them

when they get arrested. Tell me, wouldn’t the people

arresting them check them for weapons first before taking

them to the gulag camps where they were being

imprisoned? ASIS suggested that the spies going out on

the field should carry weapons that “can be hid with their

body parts.” Needless to say, this comment got snickers

from the rest of the secret service. She also mentioned

that the spies should carry small weapons to pick locks so

that the spies could escape with the prisoners but my

question is, if the gulag camps are in USSR territory, where

would they go? Where would they escape without being

under the surveillance of the Soviet Union? During her

answer to this question, ASIS engrossed in answering it,

she accidently spilled too much information before

someone nudged her to stop talking. What does this

mean? What is the secret service hiding? And what is its

value?

Threats from CommunismDiscussion to put an end to a war provoking threat  

The situation in the Five Eyes is getting more intense as we

speak. Information has been received as to how Uranium

extraction has been doubled by SDAG Wismut in Ore

Mountains near Dresden in East Germany. Protestors are

being taken to work there. The Soviet government has

printed threats in their newspaper saying that they will

create the biggest man-made bomb ever. It has been

assumed that there is a possibility that the Uranium

extracted in East Germany will be taken to USSR for

creating that bomb. Andre Sakharov has been claimed

dead. His last words were “Big Ivan and Stingray are

coming. Always be prepared.” Stingray is the nickname of

the first intercontinental ballistic missile for submarines.

Big Ivan is the nickname of ‘Tsar Bomba’, the biggest

bomb to be ever detonate. A lot of discussions were taken

place in the committee regarding this situation. Delegates

had opinions which were polar opposites. Delegates like

the delegate of Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and

the delegate of National Security Agency (NSA) believed

that the threats which the Soviet government released is a

big hoax. As per them, nobody would be that foolish to

print the threats. On the other hand, delegates like the

delegate of Government Communications Headquarter

(GCHQ), and the delegate of Australian Security

Intelligence Organization (ASIO), took this threat by the

Soviet government very seriously and thought immediate

measures needed to be taken at all costs. Later, it was

informed that the Chief of CIA (Central Intelligence

Agency) told the Five Eyes that they had had an

information breach, where the plan to nab Andre Sakharov

was known to the KGB. Director presumed that there were

KGB agents in the embassy if USSR in DC. Thus, the

government thought it was fit to expel the high

commissioner, the Soviets. Many countries like Canada

and New Zealand have condemned the action saying it

could amount to war. There is also received information

that SDGA has started transportation of Uranium in the

direction of USSR. In conclusion, we hope that Five Eyes

finds an efficient and rational solution to put an end to all

of this.

Solutions to Hong Kong protests2019, 18th January 2020: Solutions to the ongoing crisis in Hong Kong were

discussed in the United Nations Security Council. 

The extradition bill introduced in Hong Kong has led to violent protests and

unrest among the people who felt their autonomy was threatened. Several

incidents of police brutality and vandalization of public property were

observed. Several accusations were thrown the previous day on the western

powers and their interference as well as the autocratic Chinese government.

Today, finally the committee decided to put an end to the blame game and

discuss solutions to the problem. The delegate of Philippines started off by

pointing out the flaw in the ‘one country, two systems’ policy which upsets both

Beijing and Hong Kong. The delegate said that appointing the same Chief

Executive to preside over both Hon Kong and Beijing was similar to having the

same lawyer defend both parties involved in a dispute.The delegate of

Indonesia urged the police and the protestors to maintain peace by backing

down.China maintained its stance on exercising control over Hong Kong and

clarified that the extradition bill wouldn’t be used for this purpose. China also

rejected all the demands made to withdraw the bill. The delegate of Russia

suggested that Hong Kong must accept being a part of China and that the US

withdraw its forces at least 2000 kms away from the territory of Hong

Kong. Thus, the proceedings were finally productive wherein delegations

actually made suggestions.

ONE COUNTRY, TWO SYSTEMSOn the 18thof January 2020, the UN’s security Council gathered once more to discuss the

situation of Hong Kong and China, and possible solutions to this issue.

Since 1997, Hong Kong and china have co-existed under a policy known as “one country, twosystems”. This guaranteed the Hong Kong territory, a higher degree of autonomy. The region wasalso assured a mini constitution of sorts referred to as ‘Basic Law’, which expires in 2047. The basiclaw has been weakened several times, being under the stifling thumb of China’s ruling party, The

Communist Party. This law, however, ensures that Chinese authorities cannot suppress dissent withan iron fist, as they do to other territories under their power. This has forced Beijing to find otherinstitutions and methods to chip away at the independence of Hong Kong, such as the extradition

bill. The extradition bill made the public seethe with unrest and fear for the uncertainty of the stateof their collective futures. The public began to protest, but these uprisings took a violent and

malevolent turn, causing the police force to retaliate with strength just as brutal. The committeecontinued to discuss the situation and continued to play this evidently perpetual “blame game”.

China admitted to getting tired of playing and even stated that they were going to attempt to find asolution the problem instead. The representative claimed that through the extradition bill, they

would not try to yield full control or intervene strongly in political matters. US continued to blameChina for the whole situation and even accused China of abusing economic power. Hong Kong made

the revelation that they held a meeting with the protestors and came to a mutual understanding.Hong Kong agreed to fulfill 3 of the 5 of their demands including the suspension of the bill and the

granting of amnesty to those arrested, on the grounds that they ceased protesting. The delegate alsoadmitted to arresting people who did not commit any crimes, but also claimed that no one under theage of 18 was detained. After this admission, the conversation segued towards possible solutions tothe problem. Philippines reiterated that China does not wish to affect the autonomy of Hong Kongbut clarifies that it would in fact like to help it grow. France declared that the only way to solve this

problem would be to fulfill the demands of the protestors, restore the people’s trust in thegovernment, and give them universal suffrage. Most representatives agreed that the only solution to

this problem is establishing trust between the people and government, and that the only results ofsetting each other ablaze and refusing to admit it, is sooty fingers and unforgiving remorse.

A BEGINNING OR END OF WAR17 January 2020 ,10:33 BEGGINING OF WORLD WAR 3 OR

BEGGINING OF THE END OF WAR . 

The invasion of Iraq was the most controversial and momentous

foreign policy decision in recent memory. Compared with other wars,

there appears to be an especially radical cleavage between the

justifications for the war advanced by its proponents—Iraqi weapons

of mass destruction (WMDs)—which proved to be hollow, along with

the actual motives and causes. Since the war, the deception practiced

by the Bush administration has been exposed; but even before it was

clear to ex-weapons inspectors and Iraq specialists that Saddam had

no serious WMD capability and certainly not one capable of

threatening the US. US purposes was the overweening ambition of the

Bush administration to dominate and overthrow any regime it

disliked.As we concluded earlier that USA had no real reason for their

invasion except their extreme need of dominance as we also got to

know with USA's another bully action by invading Sudan in the

crisis. As we started today with Unmod, we saw USA worried about

trying to gather its allies which are rather confused. USA give its allies

a "pep talk" and says 'in my every radical plan support me' and names

his enemies like china and DPRK. As the committee proceeds we get

some twisted information as Iraq announces 'our plan is to move the

president to Syria and his safety is at risk from USA at its coalition' and

with this announcement USA puts forward a contrary announcement

'we are going suspicious of Suddam Hussein ,we will confirm his

position and investigation will take place'. But Syria confirms that it do

not trust the coalition and we also suspect the presidents safety so we

are happy to provide asylum to Suddam Hussein. After these strong

announcements from IRAQ and USA we get know some spicy

information; like, US has killed 20, 000 ISES and they are supplying

chemical weapons to IRAQ in the Iran-Iraq war, an accusation to USA

didn't have any answer. Next as Poland and Albania are both relieved

that USA and Sudan solved its differences and encourage Iraq to not

use chemical weapons or any mass destruction weapons in the

future,They just want peace but Poland says a strong statement by

saying 'Suddam Hssein should be on trial 'And Iraq puts forward a

comeback by saying 'invasion of Iraq is a massive crime attempted by

USA and the president of USA should be on trial and we request UN to

come to our aid and set up camps, rebuild or destroyed country and

help our innocent people who are suffering because of the BULLY who

destroyed their homes' As after this we expected to move to solutions

some shocking updates came our way.POLAND, UK AND USA HAVE

SEND THEIR TROOPS IN IRAQ TO SUPPORT USA WHILE FINLAND AND

TURKEY HAVE SEND THEIR TROOPS IN IRAQ TO SUPPORT IRAQ. As

this committee took a unexpected turn it is hard to say that will this

war will get solved or this the beginning of World War 3. At last many

countries show their will to solve this conflict or begin World War 3

with non-peaceful ways as this seems the last resort to them.’

Behind the scenesA update on the perspective of the alliances of USA and

Iraq

Committee begins with a sudden announcement by the

Iraqi delegate, stating that the president of Iraq is

currently present in Syria as a step of protection since the

president was in danger of being attacked by USA and its

coalition. Only 2 to 3 aids are aware of the president’s

position and the government is informed immediately in

case of important events. This fact was declared true with

the confirmation of the presence of the president of Iraq

in Syria by the Syrian delegate.After this revelation,

Albania went forward and gave a speech about its

unwavering devotion for USA and its constant support in

the form of money and troops against the Iraqi

government. This led to another shocking revelation

revolving around the murder of 20,000 ISIS members by

USA and the confirmation of the fact that Iraq was

supplied with chemical weapons by USA during the

Iraq Iran war.Post this Syria revealed several interesting

fact about his country. He said, “We are already allies with

Russia, however we realize the military might of USA and

will not take any military action unless the security of

Syria itself is threatened by USA or any of its allies.” He

then continued voicing his thoughts by saying, “The

contradictions made by the members of the coalition

prove that their internal command structure is lacking

and also shows their collective incompetence as nations

to properly deal with situations in another manner than

war.”Albania on the other hand was a little more

supportive in its alliance and was vocal about their

personal thoughts. Albania said, “We don’t believe in

harming people of whatever race as a reaction of

disagreement between governments, because no matter

what people are p lives are imperative. We are sorry of the

loss Iraq has suffered through despite their brutality

towards my citizens. However, we are still supportive of

our true alliances and support USA no matter what

happens.”On a lighter note, UK has withdrawn to its

earlier alliance and is supporting USA in the exploitation

of Iraq. In agreement with their foreign policy.
