As usual Indian media who are lackeys of the Indian govt are going to sweep this under the rug. An ordinary Indian, although raging inside, is scared of repercussions from this authoritarian govt. When this govt finally falls, it would have sucked all national resources dry.

Update from inside - Ashutosh Ranka and others have been at the police station since morning. They are still being held, and now the police are citing medical examination as the reason for keeping them there. Meanwhile, our talented team inspected the police station washroom. I have been told that condition is disgusting - foul smell, non-functional flushes and poor hygiene. #AssamPoliceStationThikKaro pls. @Cockroachisback @AshutoshRanka

The accusations against Gyanesh Kumar are that he compromised democracy and acted against the constitution. Why would Hindu organisations hold a march in support of such a person? This is very fishy. This doubles down on the accusations against him that he was communal.

On Tuesday, the Election Commission said all was well: The 14 objections by two of its three members were "suggestions," every decision was "unanimous." With in 48 hours, on Saturday, it issued NINE decisions. Read them against the 14 notes. It's a U-TURN, not in what it says, but in what it does. And it still leaves some hard Qs unanswered. Stay with me. (1/10) 🧵

Will there be any remembrance like the below after Modi dies? Respect is earned not commanded or PR-ed.
Remembering our former Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh ji, on his birth anniversary. A visionary statesman and brilliant economist, he will always be remembered for his historic financial reforms.

This is the reality for much of the IT workforce in India, the golden goose from which every sector in India - FMCG, real estate, automotive and the government extracted tax and sales from. When that section is currently reeling under unemployment, the illiterate PM is here.

"IF NOT MODI WHO?" What kind of fucking stupid question is that? As if one of the greatest civilisations on earth depends on a semiliterate compromised coward like Modi for its survival and progress! In fact the earlier he gets lost, the quicker we will move into 21st century.

111 MPs and MLAs switched parties since 2022. 99/111 joined the BJP or its allies. After dismantling regional forces with the ECI’s and court’s help, the BJP is creating proxy parties to manufacture pseudo-regional alternatives, forces that appear regional but ultimately serve the BJP’s interests. Shinde Sena, NCP (AP), NCPI are the best examples. m.economictimes.com/news/pol…

🚨IMPORTANT NEWS🚨 Since Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar is in the news, I have some very important but sad news to share about a Supreme Court judge. Supreme Court judge Justice Satish Chandra Sharma. Just two months away from retirement. If you remember, the Allahabad High Court had imposed a penalty on Medha Roopam, the DM of Noida and daughter of Gyanesh Kumar with a fine of five lakh rupees for irrationally issuing NSA order against a student Activist for Noida labour protest. That order was challenged before the Supreme Court of India. Live Law, the news portal, reported that Gyanesh’s daughter’s case was listed before Justice Satish Chandra Sharma out of turn and in violation of the Supreme Court roster and rules and convention. The challenge ought to have gone before Justice Nagarathna’s bench, known to be an independent upright judge. Two days back, when the matter was listed for hearing, Justice Sharma‘s bench switched off the audio of the Supreme Court proceeding, which is highly unusual and almost never done. ALARMING. There was no explanation from the judge’s side as to why this extraordinary favour was done for Gyanesh’s daughter. In any case the fine and the adverse remarks of the Allahabad High Court were stayed by Justice Sharma immediately. Same day, in another case related to Gyanesh Kumar—the constitutional challenge that was filed against the 2023 law on election commissioners of India was finally decided by a two judge bench of which Justice Sharma was a part of. Under challenge was the appointments procedure where the leader of opposition today holds only an ornamental seat in the Three-member selection committee that selects Election commissioner of India. The other two are PM and his Cabinet Minister. Justice Sharma dissented which led to a split verdict and the case has now been sent before the Chief Justice of India for constituting a larger bench. This has delayed the case by years probably. This split verdict itself came after three years. This is how the Supreme Court refuses to hear most important cases that affect our lives and the country. A separate blanket immunity granted to past and present election commissioners of India by Modi’s government is also pending for last 9 months before CJI Surya Kant. Today, the Chief Election Commissioner has been exposed for gross illegalities and for stealing votes and elections at the behest of powers that be. Any sane, sorted, neutral, just person can see that the selection process of ECIs is not independent and tilted in govt’s favour. But not Justice Sharma. And here’s the big news: his son holds not one, not two, but four big, plum government counsel panels, including income, tax department, GST, customs, and excise, and a Madhya Pradesh government lawyer panel. I need not explain the great perks and influence that come along when you hold such plum government panels. Read my Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma report where I exposed the same thing. I am withholding the name of the son for now. The important question is: how can a judge be expected to do impartial and fair Justice in politically sensitive cases if his family members serve at the pleasure of the government? The judge is also retiring two months later, and several lawyers have informed me that there are vacancies in NCLAT and other search plum tribunals. I’M SORRY TO SAY such a system of judiciary does not inspire confidence in its ability to do impartial justice. There is a reason why the ethics code for judges require them to maintain a sense of aloofness and not do anything which can harm the their image and that of the judiciary. Both in Justice Swarna Kanta’s case and several other judges case, including that of the Supreme Court, it is TRAGIC to notice the complete capture of the institution of the Indian judiciary. Can the judiciary go on like this?
