Pannun claims SFJ is funding CJP protests as part of a “fifth-generation warfare” campaign to topple PM Modi’s government
Speaking in Edmonton, Canada, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun outlined support for anti-government movements and urged foreign investors to withdraw from India
He also called on Sikh youth worldwide to undergo firearms training, describing it as lawful community defence
The funding claim remains unverified

Only the politically naive or compromised will consider these to be isolated and non-serious. Time to wake up.

And, then we ask why OCI card has been denied? Also explains why Mama has been rooting for the #CJP in India. The patterns emerging are not to be missed.
In Union Square today, an amazing rally of solidarity with @CJP_for_India organised by @Hindus4HR

Instead of trying to set records straight - why don’t you first get help to sort out your fractured sensibilities. Being a “Bose” doesn’t place any onus on you to be an expert in all things - politics, history, sociology, theology and now mythology. Happy #DurgaPuja

A big shout out for @letsblinkit. Early morning today at 6.00 AM during preparation for Sondhi Puja in our housing society - the ladies discovered we were running short of the 108 Lotus Flowers for the worship. Blinkit came to our rescue - delivering 20 lotuses neatly packed in separate plastic covers.
For those who don’t know the legend behind the Puja - Shri Ram went to pray to the Goddess Durga for strength and to win in the war against Ravan. He was told to offer her 108 lotuses. He went all over and found 108 lotuses and started the puja. While the puja was on, Mother Durga decided to test Ram’s devotion. So She hid one lotus. When Ram came to 107…he did not know what to do. Ram who is called the lotus eyed God took a knife and was about the take out his eyes to offer the mother when she stopped him and gave him the boon of victory and he was able to finish his prayers with the 108th lotus.
If only there was #Blinkit then - the entire crisis could have been averted.
(Don’t miss the lotuses in the image below). #DurgaPuja2026

A primer on the fundamental difference between the 2 nomenclatures - “government change” and “regime change” for those who are Idiotsplaining what @pbhushan1 meant by the latter.
“In standard political science, a distinction exists between a change of government and a regime change. The former occurs routinely within democratic frameworks: one party loses an election, another wins, and authority transfers peacefully according to rules established by the constitution. The state structure, foundational legal framework, and basic norms of governance remain intact.
“Regime change,” by contrast, refers to the total replacement of a political system, its core institutions, or its constitutional order—often via extra-constitutional, coercive, or foreign-backed means.”.

The #Pakistan and #Bangladesh connivance was always known. Just that some in India chose to deliberately look the other way. That these people see a messiah in a character like #DhruvRathee speaks volumes about their mindset and objective.
Interesing to note that several Pakistani journalists were seen at this protest, as were Pakistan and Bangladesh flags.

Congratulations @sanjeevsanyal for winning the prestigious @thecaravanindia prize 🏆 for rattling the leftist cabal (btw that’s a great picture - he looks like revolutionary hero of Bollywood films. Surely @smitabarooah will approve 😀)
To dignify Sanjeev Sanyal with an answer is to accord him an importance him he will never deserve.

France's riots show how fast peaceful protest can turn into mayhem. So why are critics of the Jantar Mantar decision so sure India's protests would have stayed calm? On selective outrage and the limits of protest. My Substack post: substack.com/@ghosespot/note…

Thanks @naomi2009 for saying this. Any such suggestion (about someone else being behind it) is “phoo-phoo”-ed in India. #Paris
This scale of rioting is abnormal. This is not about schools or even cost of living. There is something else/someone else behind this.

This is why Jantar-Mantar and Parliament Street had to be put out of bounds.
It is always such a pleasure to spar with intellectually honest and erudite people. When Hon Justice (Retd) Sanjib Banerjee stated on @BDUTT’s @themojostory that there is a perception that elections in West Bengal were “stolen” - I said there were similar accusations for the last 40 years. He was gracious enough to concede that saying - earlier accusations were against political parties and this time it’s against the EC. I didn’t extend the argument by questioning the role of the police and state administration in the past. Here’s the clip - but watch the full show on @YouTube #CJP #JantarMantar

So this is what you wanted to see at Jantar-Mantar @IndiaToday !! #Paris
Washington protests outside the White House
London protests in Parliament Square
Every democracy has an address for dissent… close to centres of power where discontent is visible
Ours is Burari !
