Sulli Deals 2.0: Muslim women being auctioned once again on 'Bulli Balli' website, beginning New Year with Fear and disgust'

Bulli Bai is an application similar to Sulli Deals that were created and used on GitHub. Hundreds of Muslim women photographs were uploaded for auction by an unidentified group of people on January 1, 2022.

Earlier in July 2021, the same incident happened when an unidentified group of users created an application named, ‘Sulli Deals.’ The photographs of Muslim women were used and being sold. Two FIRs were filed by Delhi and Uttar Pradesh police but no consolidated action were taken so far.

As soon as the news went viral, Delhi police immediately took action against it. They have asked the concerned officials to look into the matter and take possible actions against the same.

Here are the recent tweets, which show their disquietude towards the matter.

A female journalist has expressed her concern about the matter. She tweeted that she was very sad to hear that Muslim women had to start their new year with a sense of fear and disgust. She is not the only one who is being targeted on the ‘Bulli Bai’ app, but also her friend is being involved. She received a screenshot of her friend in the morning who is also being victimized.

Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi has also conveyed her thoughts for Muslim women and asked the centre to take appropriate action against Bulli Bai developers. She demanded that the culprits should be punished and arrested as soon as possible. She tweeted that she had repeatedly asked the Honourable IT Minister, Ashwini Vaishnav to take serious action against the matter that targets the Muslim women through Sulli deals platforms. It is so shameful that it is still being ignored.

While Kishanganj’s MP, Dr Md Jawaid also requested Union Home Minister, Amit Shah to take action against Sulli Deals’ culprits. He said a new platform is now being emerged, ‘Bulli Bai’ which is a duplicate of Sulli Deals. Immediate actions should be taken against both platforms, Bulli Bai and Sulli Deals, and those who have no fear of the law.

An author, Hussain Haidry is also not far behind to express his anxiety against ‘Sulli Deals 2.0.’ He said that about 100 Muslim women having a strong vocal presence on Twitter who are being identified with their handles were forwarded as ‘Bulli Bai.’ He further said that this is Sulli Deals 2.0 because it is even worse than the previous case.

Reacting to the matter, the Mumbai Police said that they have taken apprehension of the matter. The concerned officials will be taking action for the same. Also, cyber police have initiated scrutiny with the objectionable content of Bulli Bai.

International Criminal Court issues arrest warrant against Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu over war crimes

The International Criminal Court (ICC) today issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant over alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity.

The court accused Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defence Minister Gallant of crimes against humanity, including murder, persecution, inhumane acts, and the war crime of starvation as a method of warfare. The leaders allegedly restricted essential supplies such as food, water, and medical aid to civilians in Gaza, resulting in severe humanitarian crises and deaths, including among children.

Last year in October, Israel had launched attacks on Gaza in retaliation for the surprise attack by Hamas. The Israel-Hamas war has led to the death of thousands of civilians, while lakhs have been displaced. The major infrastructures in Gaza, including hospitals and schools, were also destroyed as Israel vowed to wipe out Hamas.

The International Criminal Court stated that it found reasonable grounds to believe the accused intentionally targeted civilians and limited medical supplies, forcing unsafe medical procedures, which caused immense suffering. This ruling was based on the findings from at least October 8, 2023 until at least May 20, 2024.

The court remarked that it has assessed that there are reasonable grounds to believe that PM Netanyahu and Defence Minister Gallant bear criminal responsibility as civilian superiors for the war crime of intentionally directing attacks against the civilian population of Gaza.

Furthermore, it also noted that the lack of food, water, electricity and fuel, and medical supplies created conditions of life calculated to bring about the destruction of part of the civilian population in Gaza, leading to death of civilians, including children due to malnutrition and dehydration.

Additionally, the International Criminal Court dismissed two challenges by Israel against its jurisdiction in the situation in the State of Palestine.

Notably, Israel had contested the ICC’s jurisdiction, claiming it could not be exercised without Israel’s consent. Nonetheless, the Chamber ruled that the Court has jurisdiction based on Palestine’s territorial scope, including Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem. It further noted that Israel’s objections were premature, as jurisdictional challenges under the Rome Statute can only be made after an arrest warrant is issued.

Reportedly, Israel had also requested a fresh notification regarding the investigation, started in 2021. Denying the request, the court stated that Israel had earlier declined to request a deferral, making additional notifications unnecessary.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday accorded a tax-free status to ‘The Sabarmati Report’ film, based on the train burning incident at Godhra in Gujarat in 2002, in the state.

The announcement was made after Chief Minister Adityanath attended the screening of Vikrant Massey and Raashii Khanna-starrer ‘The Sabarmati Report’ in Lucknow with the film’s cast.  

Speaking to reporters, actor Vikrant Massey thanked the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister for making ‘The Sabarmati Report’ film tax-free in the state. “I want to thank Yogi Adityanath ji. This is an important film and I appeal to everyone to go and watch this film,” he said.

Chief Minister Adityanath along with many of his cabinet colleagues watched the film ‘The Sabarmati Report’ under a special screening at a cinema hall in the capital, said a spokesperson of the state government.

Several people associated with the film unit were also present on the occasion. Later the chief minister announced to make this film tax-free in UP.

The BJP-ruled states have been praising the makers of The Sabarmati Report, claiming the team has tried to bring out this truth in front of the people of the country through the film.

The saffron party is appealing to people to watch this film and try to get closer to the truth of Godhra.

Uttar Pradesh becomes the sixth BJP-ruled state after Haryana, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat to declare lead actors Vikrant Massey and Raashii Khanna’s film tax-free.

Adityanath said along with identifying the faces of those who are conspiring against the country for political gains, there is also a need to expose them. The film team has discharged its responsibilities to expose the truth, he said, adding an attempt has been made to bring the real truth in front of the country in a big way through the film.

The Sabarmati Report is said to be based on the incident of setting fire to a train full of ‘karsevaks’ in Godhra on February 27, 2002, killing 90 devotees. After this incident, communal riots broke out in Gujarat. Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah have also praised this film.
