NECESSITY AND PREVENTION OF RELIGIOUS CIVIL STRIFE IN FIJI |  |
The RFMF cannot and must NOT stand by and watch Indo-Fijian MUSLIMS and INDO-FIJIAN CHRISTIANS victimized by extremist INDO-FIJIAN HINDUS, supported by HINDUPOST from INDIA

LIU MURI: NFP Hindu leader went on to betray Fijileaks and its Editor by denying that he was in secret talks with PAAPI Sitiveni Rabuka

The founding philosophy of HinduPost is Satyamev Jayate NaAnritam, i.e. "Truth Alone Triumphs, Not Untruth. Truth will emerge from the darkness of lies and distortion all around us, only if we express ourselves, in unison and with courage."
* Critics allege that [Frank] Bainimarama gave Khaiyum a free hand in return for the victory, and [Aiyaz] Khaiyum turned all his attention against the Hindu population in Fiji. Not only temple attacks became more frequent, but also Hindu intellectuals are regularly picked up by the police and slapped with false cases.
Three Indo-Fijian HINDUS singled out as victims of Aiyaz Khaiyum are
BIMAN PRASAD, SHARVADA SHARMA and DR NEIL SHARMA.
Fijileaks to HINDUPOST:
*BIMAN PRASAD is a HINDU TRAITOR who is campaigning for the 1987 Coupist, Racist and Rapist SITIVENI RABUKA to become Prime Minister |  |
*DR NEIL SHARMA was SACKED after |  |
Radio New Zealand International, 11 April 2015
Dr Sharma, a former Health Minister, was at the centre of corruption allegations posted on the blog site Fijileaks.

From Fijileaks Archive, 2015:
*SHARVADA SHARMA (KARMA) was responsible for drafting all the anti-human rights DECREES for the current FFP government that has led to the arrests of many Opposition leaders, trade unionists etc, etc, etc
The untruthful, full of lies, pro right-wing propaganda HinduPost article:
Fijian Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama, the 8th and current Prime Minister of Fiji came to power in 2007 through a coup. He gave the impression that he intended to unite Fiji. However, the attacks against Hindu Fijians have not stopped. In recent years it has assumed monstrous proportions. Hindu Fijians claim that the latest round of persecutions is being headed by Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum. He is the Fijian attorney general and Minister for Economy, Civil Service and Communications.
Prior to his appointment as a cabinet minister following Bainimarama’s party FijiFirst’s general election victory in September 2014, he was the Fijian attorney general and the Minister for Justice, Anti-Corruption, Public Enterprises, Communications, Civil Aviation, and the Minister responsible for Elections under the Bainimarama Government. According to The Economist, the daily functioning of the Fijian government is run by Sayed-Khaiyum. The South China Morning Post describes him as one of South Pacific’s ‘most powerful men’.
But what stands out as the force behind Sayed-Khaiyum is not the blessings of Bainimarama, who handed over power to him temporarily, while he was recovering from heart attack, but a nation far away, Bharat’s neighbor Pakistan. Such is the involvement of Pakistan, that the 2017 elections in Fiji was conducted by a Pakistani company NADRA which is the Pakistan’s National Database Registration Authority. The same company is now being accused of ballot stuffing and election fraud.
Khaiyum engaged NADRA, a Pakistani company, to manage Fiji’s 2018 election system. This is the same company, as reported by the Pakistan Inter Services Intelligence, whose top ranking officers helped terrorists and other miscreants obtain fake Pakistan national identity cards [1,2].
Their officials allegedly issued ID cards to militants, including some linked to al Qaeda, in return for bribes as small as US$100. So why did Khaiyum recruit them for their services? There does not seem to have been any public tender issued for such a service. So how was NADRA awarded the contract? And what are the terms of the contract? With all this secrecy, it is feared that dirty tactics and vote rigging were involved in the 2018 elections. This helped Bainimarama to remain in power, despite serious accusations of rigging and fraud.
Critics allege that Bainimarama gave Khaiyum a free hand in return for the victory, and Khaiyum turned all his attention against the Hindu population in Fiji. Not only temple attacks became more frequent, but also Hindu intellectuals are regularly picked up by the police and slapped with false cases.
A recent case in point is a prominent intellectual and National Federation Party Leader, Professor Biman Prasad. He was recently picked up by the police and slapped with false cases. Looking closely at the persecution of Hindus since 2016, the Hindu American Foundation has pointed out several incidents where Hindus were regularly targeted [3,4]. Another prominent case is that of Sharvada Sharma.
Sharvada Sharma, in his capacity as the Solicitor-General for 10 years, loyally served Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum. Yes, 10 years. When Khaiyum lost the initial court case that he brought against former SODELPA MP Niko Nawaikula, he blamed it on Sharvada.
Critics believe that Khaiyum then made the following plan: First he used PM Bainimarama to demand Sharvada should resign. Sharvada refused to resign and resisted the bullying attempt. Next Khaiyum used Elections Supervisor Mohammed Saneem to lodge a complaint against Sharvada which got him dismissed. With links to Pakistan, people in Fiji see this as a case of the Islamist brotherhood ganging up against a Hindu.
Sharvada was given the dismissal letter on Diwali day in 2021 last year when he was about to do his main pooja in the evening. Sharvada felt deeply humiliated being given the dismissal letter by Khaiyum’s men when he was about to do Diwali Pooja. Although Sharvada has filed a court case, the judiciary is seen as dragging the case continuously, which is against the 2013 constitution.
Under the 2013 constitution, only the Chief Justice and President can dismiss the Solicitor-General but in this case Khaiyum and Saneem got rid of a top devout Hindu like Sharvada. Critics claim that judiciary and justice system have all been weakened by Khaiyum and his cabal.
Dr. Neil Sharma diligently served as one of the top Health Ministers in the Bainimarama Government from 2009-2014. After winning his seat in the 2014 elections, Dr. Sharma was not included in the cabinet by Khaiyum. Sources claim that Khaiyum was influenced by top FijiFirst donors not to give the health portfolio again to Dr. Sharma because he was strict when it came to food production and its quality.
Khaiyum is alleged to have a single point agenda, which is not to let Hindu intellectuals have any say in the Government, even if it goes against the nation’s interest. With Bainimarama echoing him regularly, it shows who is running Fiji. A case to highlight is what happened in 2015.
In 2015, NFP Leader Dr. Biman Prasad brought a motion to Parliament whereby he called for an increase in health budget to address the rising Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD) cases in the country. It was a very good motion and as former Health Minister, Dr. Sharma knew its importance and so voted in favour of the NFP motion. Then Leader of the House, Pio Tikoduadua (now NFP President) sorted this issue out with Bainimarama and all was okay since Dr. Sharma was asked to vote along party lines next time. But Khaiyum got angry and wanted Dr. Sharma out.
Bainimarama had no option but to listen to Khaiyum and on his demand, forced Dr. Sharma to resign. Feeling humiliated at his intervention being ignored, Pio Tikoduadua also resigned. Hence, it is believed that because of Khaiyum’s arrogance, FijiFirst lost 2 good and capable people like Tikoduadua and Dr. Sharma.
In a nation where the government holds a big sway, many believe that temple attacks cannot happen easily without involvement of some central authorities. A few cases of temple attacks highlight the precarious situation facing Hindus in Fiji:
September 2019 — A man broke into a temple in Suva and stole several religious items. (U.S. Department of State, 2020)
August 2019 — The temple door and windows at the Kaliamman Temple of Vomo St, Lautoka were broken by vandals. (Chaudhary, 2019)
July 2019 — At least two temples – the Sita Ram Mandir of Calia, Navua and the Hindu Temple at Malolo, Nadi were broken into and donation collections were stolen. (Gopal, 2019; Chaudhary, 2019)
January 2018 — At least one temple near Suva was vandalized, while others in Suva were reportedly also broken into in previous months. (Radio New Zealand, 2018)
December 2017 — The Tirath Dham temple in Nadi was vandalized with racially motivated graffiti, donation boxes were stolen, and murtis (statues of deities) were desecrated with paint poured on them. (Radio New Zealand, 2018)
June 2016 — The Lovu Sangam School on the outskirts of Lautoka and an adjacent Hindu temple were vandalized multiple times, and Hindu symbols and sacred items desecrated. The vandals also wrote messages taunting the school that serves 500 Bharatiya students. (Citizens’ Constitutional Forum, 2016)
In the last few years Hindu activities have been curtailed and Hindu activists have attracted false cases. The public shaming of Hindus who rose to prominence adds to the low morale of Hindus in Fiji where conversion is rampant. Also, the involvement of Pakistan and thereby its ally China calls for much concern in the Pacific nation. It not just endangers the interest of Bharat, United States but also Hindus across the world and Fiji itself.
The Fijian Hindus whose forefathers mostly went to Fiji in the late 19th Century from Bharat, have been under constant attack. While 45% Fijians called themselves Hindus in the 1976 Census, only 27.9 % people are Hindus according to the 2007 census. Most of the Hindu population has strong ties to Bharat and thus an effort is made by Bharat’s enemies in collusion with the Church to convert the Hindus and stop Hindus from staying organized. A series of coups in the last few decades have further moved the nation that direction.
With the elections to be held by January 2023, the Hindus who can vote need to organize themselves to stop the intervention of civilizational enemies threatening the existence of the community. A strong Hindu community in Fiji is not just in the interest of Bharat but Fiji as well. How they vote will decide the civilizational existence of the community in the Pacific.

Update
Nov 15, 1 PM: Minor edits have been made to the article to improve readability and correct some typos.
Fijileaks: The above is still full of factual errors.
Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama is in deep concern regarding a fake article that he says is an attempt by those who have an agenda against his government.
Bainimarama says the article made horrible and false allegations of religious strife in Fiji and yet no political party has come out to criticise it.
The article is on the HinduPost, which is an online digital platform that says it aims to provide the correct perspective on issues concerning Hindu society around the world.
In the article, it is claimed that Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum is engaging in war against the Hindus in Fiji through the patronage of the Fijian government and Pakistan.
The article does not have the name of the author who penned the story, and questions sent to HinduPost remain unanswered.
Prime Minister Bainimarama has strongly condemned the article and the attempt to poison Fiji with lies.
“The Fiji I lead does not tolerate antagonism against any faith. Christians, Hindus, and Muslims are all loved, accepted and protected in Fiji, that is the character of our country, that is the security provided by our constitution.”
Bainimarama says Fijians live together, worship in peace, openly celebrate religious festivals, and work together to build the country.
The Prime Minister also raises concern about those who continue to share the fake article knowing that it is all lies.
He adds that what is even more concerning is that people in politics are not standing up for the truth.
“What is really quite sad is that no other politician has condemned this nonsense for what it is, even though they know it is a lie. Ordinary Fijians know exactly who is most responsible for the communal and religious division that nearly tore our country apart in the 1980s and 1990s. “These same people want to drag us back to the darkness.”
Bainimarama says the truth is that in Fiji today, any Fijians of any faith, any ethnicity, any gender, any province, and any physical ability—rich or poor—can rise in this country as far as their talents and ambitions can carry them.
He says that this is his promise to all Fijians and that he has seen it fulfilled during his tenure as Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister also promised to keep his word.
The idea of HinduPost emerged at a media conference conducted by the Hindu Media Forum (HMF) during the inaugural World Hindu Congress 2014.
It was conceptualized and launched in January 2016 by the Hindu Media Forum (HMF). HMF is a forum for elements advocating the interests of the Hindu community, both in the traditional as well as the emerging forms of media, to come together on one platform.
Its site is filled with anti-muslim articles and has rising anti-Muslim sentiments instigated by ultra-right Hindu actors.
We have also sent questions to the Indian High Commission. Source: FBC News
