Congress leader and Lok Sabha MP Manickam Tagore has criticized Digvijay Singh’s statement about RSS organization. He even compared Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh with terrorist organization Al Qaeda. Manickam has called it a ‘famous self goal’.

Manickam Tagore said, ‘RSS is an organization which is built on hatred. It spreads hatred. There is nothing to be learned from hatred. Can you learn something from al-Qaeda? Al-Qaeda is an organization of hatred. He hates others. What is there to learn from that organization?’

What did Digvijay Singh say?

Digvijay Singh had shared a black and white photo from the 1990s. In this picture, young Narendra Modi is seen sitting on the ground near senior BJP leader LK Advani at an event in Gujarat. Along with this photo, he wrote, ‘People who once worked at the grassroots level can rise up in the organizational hierarchy and become Chief Ministers and eventually Prime Ministers.’

In this post Digvijay Singh called it the power of organization. He also tagged senior Congress leaders including Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge, MPs Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Jairam Ramesh, PM Modi and the official handle of the Congress in the post.

He wrote in his post, ‘I found this picture on Quora site. This is very impressive. How did grassroots volunteers of RSS and workers of Jan Sangh @BJP4India become the Chief Minister of the state and the Prime Minister of the country by sitting on the ground near the feet of the leaders? This is the strength of organization. Hail Siya Ram. @INCIndia @INCMP @kharge @RahulGandhi @priyankagandhi @Jairam_Ramesh @narendramodi.

There is an uproar over this post of Digvijay Singh. While BJP is cornering Congress and Rahul Gandhi after his post, Congress leaders are divided into two factions. On this, Manickam Tagore said that one should learn from an organization like Congress. This organization brought people together. Mahatma Gandhi transformed the Congress Party into a mass movement. Should organizations learn from organizations that spread hate?

Rahul Gandhi with the people: Tagore

He said, ‘Rahul Gandhi is completely with the people. Fighting for the people against the arbitrariness of the government. We should support them. Such a statement does not help Rahul ji’s struggle.

He said, ‘There is nothing to be learned from Godse’s organization except hatred. 140 year old Congress is still young. Fights hatred.

Digvijay Singh’s clarification after controversy

After the controversy over the statement increased, he also gave a clarification. On this he had said that he had praised the organizational structure of RSS, not its ideology. He remains an opponent of RSS and PM Modi.

BJP targeted

BJP also took a dig at Digvijay’s statement. Party national spokesperson CR Kesavan said that these comments have exposed the dictatorial and undemocratic work of the Congress leadership. Will Rahul Gandhi show courage? Will they react to the shocking truth bomb dropped by Digvijay Singh’s tweet? This has completely exposed how the first family of Congress runs the party in a dictatorial manner. How dictatorial and undemocratic is this Congress leadership?

Once again worrying news has emerged from the West African country Mali. According to security sources, terrorists associated with Al Qaeda have kidnapped five Indian citizens near Kobri in the western region of Mali. All these Indians were employees of a private company working on an electrification project.

The incident took place on Thursday when armed terrorists surrounded their vehicle and abducted everyone. A company representative told French news agency AFP that the remaining Indian employees were immediately evacuated to the capital Bamako for security reasons. Although till now no terrorist organization has taken responsibility for this incident, but suspicion is being raised on the networks associated with Al Qaeda and ISIS.

Indians were also kidnapped in July

This is not the first case. Also in July 2025, three Indians were kidnapped, including citizens of Rajasthan, Odisha and Telangana. Responsibility for that incident was taken by Jamaat Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimeen (JNIM), an organization associated with Al Qaeda. JNIM has claimed responsibility for several violent attacks in Mali in the last few years.

More than 400 Indians are working in Mali

According to government figures, about 400 Indian citizens currently live and work in Mali. Most of these are related to construction, mining and infrastructure sectors. Due to continuously increasing terrorist attacks and kidnapping incidents, serious questions are now being raised on their security.

Mali becomes a bastion of ransom and kidnapping

Mali’s Sahel region (which includes Niger and Burkina Faso) has long been a center of terrorist activities. Violence here has been continuously increasing since the 2012 coup and military conflicts. In September 2024, JNIM jihadists kidnapped two Emirati and an Iranian citizen, who were later released after paying a ransom of $50 million.

Sahel becoming terrorist center of the world

According to the Global Terrorism Index (GTI), the Sahel region has now become the new epicenter of terrorism in the world. The report says that more than half of the deaths due to terrorism worldwide occur in this region.

Indian government monitoring

The Indian Foreign Ministry has not yet given an official statement on this incident, but according to sources, the Indian Embassy is in constant touch with the local administration. Efforts have been intensified for the safe release of the kidnapped Indians.

Osama bin Laden’s terrorist group Al-Qaeda is now trying to achieve a goal which it has never done before. In fact, Islamic terrorist organization Al-Qaeda is trying to rule the West African country Mali with the help of its ally Jamaat Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimeen (JNIM).

In Mali, Al Qaeda’s ally JNIM is strengthening its hold over large parts of the country and is threatening to capture the capital Bamako. Security analysts have warned that Mali could be the first country in Al Qaeda’s 40-year history to fall completely under its control.

Al Qaeda terrorists besieging the country’s capital

In fact, for the last several months, terrorist groups have been moving rapidly towards the southern part of the West African country Mali and are encircling the capital. Along with this, many major supply routes are also being blocked. Due to this, the prices of everyday items are skyrocketing in the capital Bamako. Apart from this, there is shortage of fuel and blockade on food items also continues in Bamako. There is a shortage of essential commodities in the local markets.

Due to terrorist siege, trucks carrying essential goods are not able to reach the city. The reason behind this is said to be that terrorists have made many checkpoints on the roads. Experts call it a shadow government from where terrorists collect taxes and have even set up makeshift courts in rural areas.

Mali’s army’s morale is declining, people are losing confidence in the military government

Mali’s military junta is now struggling to maintain order in the country, which took power through a coup in 2020 and 2021. In fact, isolation from Western allies and dependence on foreign mercenaries has made Mali weak and extremely stressed. The morale of Mali’s army is completely weakened and it lacks resources. Additionally, due to the continued advance of militants and the collapse of infrastructure, people’s trust in the government is eroding.

Everyone still remembers the 9/11 terrorist attack in New York City, the world’s most powerful country, America. This major terrorist attack on the Twin Towers of America’s World Trade Center was carried out by Osama Bin Laden, the founder of Al-Qaeda. Regarding which now a former officer of the American intelligence agency CIA has made a surprising claim.

Former CIA officer John Kiriakou revealed that after the 9/11 attacks in America, Al-Qaeda founder and notorious terrorist Osama bin Laden had fled through the Tora Bora mountains of Afghanistan wearing women’s clothes.

Bin Laden was hiding in the mountains of Afghanistan

John Kiriakou served in the US intelligence agency CIA for 15 years and has also led anti-terrorism operations in Pakistan. In an exclusive interview given to news agency ANI, John Kiriakou claimed that the US military believed that they had targeted Osama bin Laden along with many other leaders of Al-Qaeda in October 2001.

US Al-Qaeda’s secret terrorist was sitting in the central command of

However, he had no knowledge that the translator of the Commander of the Central Command was in reality a member of the terrorist organization Al-Qaeda. The US military, based on their belief that they had surrounded Bin Laden, ordered him to descend the mountain. But through his translator hidden in the American Army, he talked about the safe evacuation of women and children before his surrender and asked for time till morning.

American official John Kiriakou said, ‘We asked him to come down the mountain, then he asked us through a translator, can you give us time till morning? We want to evacuate our women and children safely and then come down and surrender. But what happened after this was that Bin Laden dressed in women’s clothes and took advantage of the darkness of the night and fled to Pakistan in the back of a pickup truck.

He said, ‘After the morning, when the American army came to know that Bin Laden and other terrorists had escaped from Tora Bora mountain, after this the American army launched its operation in Pakistan.’

Former American intelligence agency CIA officer John Kiriakou has revealed that India and Pakistan were very close to war in 2002. This situation was created during the Parliament attack in December 2001 and Operation Parakram that started thereafter. He told that the American intelligence system felt such a serious threat at that time that the families of American officers posted in Islamabad were immediately evacuated.

In an exclusive interview to ANI, Kiriakou said, “We had assumed that India and Pakistan were going to war. We had evacuated our families from Islamabad. We were completely sure that India and Pakistan were going to war.” He said that the situation was so tense that the US Deputy Secretary of State at that time had to constantly go back and forth between Delhi and Islamabad, so that an agreement could be reached between the two countries and war could be averted. According to Kiriakou, after 9/11, America was completely focused on Al-Qaeda and Afghanistan. For this reason India’s security interests were not taken that seriously.

Kiriakou made this big revelation

He said, “We were so busy with Al-Qaeda that we did not even think twice about India.” Kiriakou further said that during the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, American intelligence agencies had correctly guessed that Pakistan-backed Kashmiri terrorist organizations were behind it. He said, “I don’t think it was the work of Al-Qaeda. It was completely a conspiracy by Pakistani-backed Kashmiri groups and that proved to be true.” He also said that the biggest problem was that Pakistan continued to spread terrorism in India, but the international community never took strict steps.

He further said, “Pakistan was allowing terrorism into India and no one was doing anything,” Kiriakou said, adding that India’s policy within the CIA was called ‘strategic patience’. He said, “India showed restraint after the Parliament attack and Mumbai attacks, but now the time has come when India will have to keep in mind that its restraint should not be considered a weakness.”

What did Kiriak say on the war between India and Pakistan?

Kiriakou warned that if there was a conventional war between India and Pakistan, then Pakistan would definitely have to face defeat. He said, “If there is a real war, Pakistan will lose. I am not talking about a nuclear war, only in a conventional war its defeat is certain.” He said that India’s military power and strategic capabilities are far ahead of Pakistan.

He further said, “Pakistan will not get any benefit by provoking India. They will lose. This much is clear.” Referring to India’s recent military actions, Kiriakou said that India has made it clear through steps like 2016 surgical strike, 2019 Balakot airstrike and 2025 Operation Vermillion that it is not a country afraid of cross-border terrorism or nuclear threat. He said, “India has shown time and again that it will not tolerate terror and blackmail.”

White House refused to take action

When he was asked why America did not take action against Pakistan despite so much evidence, he said, “This was the decision of the White House. At that time, relations with Pakistan were more important for America than India. We needed Pakistan, they did not need us.”

Who is John Kiriakou?

John Kiriakou served in the CIA for 15 years. He was first an analyst and later became the head of Counter Terrorism Operations in Pakistan after 9/11. They tracked al-Qaeda operatives in Peshawar, Karachi, Lahore, Faisalabad and Quetta. In 2007, he appeared on the American media and revealed that the CIA was using torture during interrogations and that information was being taken from prisoners through techniques such as waterboarding. After this he was jailed for 23 months, but even today he says, “I have no regrets. Whatever I did, I did it for the truth.”
