On Monday, 8 December, 2104 an overwhelming crowd of the Faisalabad city blew away the myth of the incumbent PMLN government that they can force away PTI men and women in the country, specially in the province of Punjab, with the aggression of their own supporters.

In fact, the PTI men and women of steel, showed to the world that they can’t even be cowed down by the bullets, what to talk of any other repressive actions.

Just one PTI tigress Ms Lubna Malik, displayed unimaginable courage and bravery, in front of the hundreds and hundreds of PMLN supporters, who were attacking and chasing her shamelessly, but failed miserably, in their nefarious designs.

This one incident proved to be the turning point of the PTI movement, like the Tiananmen Square incident in China, where a lone person stood in front of a full military tanks column and stopped the tanks movement.

Now, the government must ponder on the level of the motivation of the PTI supporters that just one PTI tigress can hold back hundreds of PMLN charging workers.

As such, how can the government face the millions of charged up PTI tigresses and tigers all over the country?

Actually, Faisalabad not only blasted the myth of the PMLN’s street power, but it also took out the air from the ballon of the facade of any public support with the government.

It looks PTI has really won the game, set and match by just puncturing the ballon of the PMLN’s falsely created impression, of any worthwhile public support.

Now, no way PTI can be defeated and stopped in achieving its objectives, which seems to be just a matter of time, only.

Yesterday, PMLN not only lost its myth but prestige and reputation as well, by devising a wrong strategy of mishandling a political issue with non political methods; the blame for which, squarely lies on the top leadership of the PMLN.

Good Salespeople Build Strong Internal Networks

Certain behaviors differentiate the most successful salespeople. Regardless of what you are selling, who you are selling it to, or where you happen to be in the world, success in selling is highly correlated with access to customers, experts, and senior leaders. If you want to improve your performance, here’s what you should work on:
Spending enough time with customers and prospects. Increase the amount of face time you spend with customers—but not by too much.
Developing a strong network within your organization. Buyers want someone who understands their needs and can address their questions quickly. So you need to be able to get the right people with the right expertise at the right time.
Building a relationship with your manager and other senior leaders inside your organization. You have to know how to get a deal approved internally, which means having access to management when needed.

RSS ‘re-converts’ 200 Agra Muslims, says more in line

A Times of India news published today.

AGRA: Members of at least 57 Muslim families were converted to Hinduism at a ceremony called ‘Purkhon ki ghar vapsi’, a mass conversion jointly organized by Dharma Jagran Samanvay Vibhag, an offshoot of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), and Bajrang Dal in Agra on Monday.

RSS regional head Rajeshwar Singh said more than 200 Muslims were “brought back to Hinduism” in the mass event held in Madhunagar area of the city.

According to organizers, the converts will soon be given new names.

Talking to TOI, Singh claimed that around 5,000 more Muslims and Christians will be “brought back into Hindu fold” in Aligarh on this Christmas. “The grand event will be held at Maheshwari College in Aligarh,” he said, daring anyone to stop it.

With saffron flags hoisted on rooftops of makeshift houses in this slum cluster, and matras being recited by priests, members of as many as 57 Muslim families washed feet of Hindu idols to mark their return to the religion. Long vermillion marks were put on their foreheads and they were given Prasad to eat.

Later, RSS and Bajrang Dal activists gave them a ‘mantra’ to chant the whole day and prepared a list of all the ‘converts’, to get their voter IDs and Aadhaar cards made, with their new names.

Sharifa, 40, was seen debating the right way of performing an aarti with her daughter-in-law, Afsha, in a small temple that has been erected by RSS men in the slum in Madhunagar. An idol of goddess Kali has also been placed in the temple, as majority of people living in the area hail from West Bengal.

Sufia Begum,76, who is the oldest woman among the converts, told TOI: “I read Quran and offered namaz five times a day. Now at this age, I will read Ganesh aarti. I don’t find any major difference in the teachings of the two religions.”

“The RSS people assured us that they will provide us better place to live, better food and schooling for my grandsons. I don’t mind change of religion, as religion doesn’t give us food to eat.”

Rajeshwar Singh told TOI that RSS spends Rs 50 lakh every month on conversion of an average 1,000 families. “It spends Rs 8-10 lakh per month on fuel costs alone in west UP,” he added.

“We have re-converted 2.73 lakh Muslims and Christians in Braj region that includes Agra, Fatehpur Sikri, Mathura, Firozabad, Etah, Meerut, Mainpuri and Uttarakhand since 2003. The upcoming mass re-conversion event in which some 5,000 Muslims and Christians will be brought back into Hindu fold will be headed by Yogi Adityanath on December 25 in Aligarh,” Singh said.

Singh also claimed that RSS has taken possession of as many as 60 churches across the state, where no Christians worship now, “as they have all been re-converted to Hinduism”.

“Ek din in girijagharo ki deewarein bhi gir jayengi aur hamara desh sirf hinduon ka hoga (one day these churches will crumble and our country will belong to the Hindus alone),” he added.

Ajju Chauhan, the Bajrang Dal leader who zeroed in on the slum in Madhunagar and organized the mass re-conversion event, was overwhelmed after the puja. More than three dozen RSS and Bajrang Dal members were guarding the pandal to avoid any untoward incident.

Talking to TOI, Aslam Qureishi, prominent Sunni leader of the city, said, “This is just a tactic of the RSS to misguide Muslims.”
