@narendramodi, yesterday Delhi saw two protests: one against your vote-chori partner Gyanesh Kumar, another against gangrape and sexual assault. And what did you do? Bhajan Clubbing. Priorities much? Don’t worry, your vote-chori partner and the culture of protecting rapists won’t be spared by the Gen Z.
Bhajan Clubbing in Delhi. Spectacular!

The freedom struggle was waged for self-rule, so that Indians could choose their government. And now, you -- @ECISVEEP and the fucks on top -- have tried to take that right away. You deserve the very worst life can offer. Yours, with rage and loathing. PS: You too, Rajeev Kumar

On 28 September, I have to go to the ECI office to prove that I am an Indian and have the right to vote in my own country. On 8 November 2016, I had to prove that I did not have black money by surrendering my ₹500 and ₹1000 currencies. For how long will ordinary Indians be made to prove their identity, their integrity, their honesty, their patriotism, their loyalty…? How long?

It's a backhand compliment to my colleagues at @reporters_co that a Rs 450 crore annual revenue newspaper @htTweets, in order to fill its page 1, has to plagiarise a story from a tiny newsroom run on citizens' donations. Read the original story: reporters-collective.in/trc/… Donate to support journalists at The Reporters' Collective, who help Hindustan Times pretend once in a while to have a spine: reporters-collective.in/supp…
Great story by @himansshhi and Saloni Bhatia in HT. Frontpage this time! @sunetrac

Are you aware that voters are being bracketed into ‘general’ and ‘VIP’ voters in the Delhi SIR? Our investigation cracked the BLOApp’s code to find that ECI has switched on a feature called “Mark VIP” which treats VIPs differently than ordinary citizens. reporters-collective.in/trc/…

A state against its own people. This is in Arunachal Pradesh where brute police force is used to stamp down on democratic protests. In solidarity with the villagers opposing the Siang Dam.
Arunachal lands are being taken by chinese army and our govt, governor and PM is in denial mode as they are scared to have direct confrontation yet look how they are flexing at villagers.

"The cause that I represent may prosper more by my suffering than by my remaining free." BG Tilak at the Bombay High Court after being sentenced to six years of transportation. Today is six years since #UmarKhalid was detained and his trial has not yet commenced. Justice Davar who sentenced Tilak had earlier been his lawyer. His judgment did not stand the trial of history.

No Indian Media channel reports this. Activists are protesting the Adani Group over its planned $10B mega-port on Great Nicobar Island. The project threatens ancient rainforests, millions of trees, and the survival of the indigenous Shompen and Nicobarese tribes. From coal mines to mega-ports, communities worldwide are standing up for environmental justice and Indigenous rights.
