Samserganj, Murshidabad.
I invite the Election Commission of India to come meet its victims and see, on the ground, what this so called “voter purification” exercise is doing to the poorest citizens of this country who also happen to be Muslims.
I have covered wars, communal violence, and mass movements. I have never seen anything like this before.

Frontline's reporter @Vedaant_Lakhera was forcibly removed by @DelhiPolice because he asked them for names and badge numbers. He was dragged to the road and then released. We take strong objection to this high-handedness by the police.

Our dearest @DelhiPolice tried to forcibly remove and detain me today. Many of them are not wearing their name tags. can delhi police tell me which SOP allows officials to not wear badges.
Asking questions leads to being detained. No wonder we are 157 in press freedom.

The writing is on the wall and it’s screaming from everywhere.
It’s not just time for the furor to go.
It’s time for him to go and to go in complete disgrace.

A war criminal giving lessons on morality is the last thing the world needs..
#WATCH | New York | Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says, "...Mr. Mamdani, you try to stop me from coming here. You tried to silence me. Well, you can't silence me. You can't silence the truth..."
"Mr. Mamdani, since you were elected mayor of this city, many Jews no longer feel safe in New York. They talk to me. They tell me, “This isn't the city we remember. It changed so quickly.” You praise criminals convicted of supporting Hamas. You count as friends people like Hasan Piker, who said America deserved 9/11. “America deserved 9/11.” Some friends you have. You invited to your home a Palestinian journalist who filmed Hamas terrorists beating and torturing Israeli hostages, and later admitted that he refused to publish the videos in order to protect, you guessed it, the terrorists. Your wife liked a post praising the October 7 massacre. She liked another post saying Tel Aviv shouldn't exist. You refuse to condemn any of that. You falsely and repeatedly accuse Israel of genocide. Mr. Mamdani, you try to stop me from coming here. You tried to silence me. Well, you can't silence me. You can't silence the truth. And here's the simple truth. Here's a simple truth: Israel didn't commit genocide; Israel prevented genocide"

Shame on all those journalists, especially the senior ones who will put out stories today on how the ECI has denied the story by @RitikaChopra__. You could not do the work she did, at least stop being govt’s puppet for a day. Instead ask for accountability. Millions suffering

If the Supreme Court were really functioning as the guardian of the Constitution, it would sack the Chief Election Commissioner and immediately stop the SIR after The Indian Express revelations.
If this isn’t enough to trigger judicial action, what is?

This is why @the_hindu is a unique newspaper and I am proud of my association with it. Publications of its size have many, many moving parts and mistakes can sometimes occur. What matters is the promptness and sensitivity with which a media house responds, and The Hindu has been stellar in this regard.
The Hindu has decided not to raise a bill for the publication on September 12 of the offensive front-page advertisement titled “What is Dera Sacha Sauda? (Facts vs Fiction)” in the newspaper’s Delhi, Mohali, and North India editions.

This is why no one in Uttar Pradesh dares to question the government.
Look what they did to the one journalist who dared to ask questions.
Journalism is not a crime!
This is the same woman who questioned Yogi.
Just two hours after asking her question, she was reportedly fired from her job. Then, some BJP leaders allegedly threatened her, saying a bulldozer would be sent to her home.
And now, BJP supporters are abusing her and attacking her character simply because she dared to question the government.
Think about it: her only “mistake” was asking a question to an elected Chief Minister — in a country that claims to be the world’s largest democracy.
It is genuinely heartbreaking to see how far we have come. There was a time when even the Prime Minister regularly faced the press and answered tough questions. Today, simply asking a question can make you a target.
Shame.

‘Ganga Aarti’ not on Ganga river but Thames river.
Does it make any sense ? Or does it not have to make sense?
#Watch | Thousands gathered on the banks of the River Thames on Sunday (September 13, 2026) for the first-ever Ganga Aarti, a ceremony of light and thanksgiving, in London.

Two grown ass men on high chairs and the woman seated on the ground. This shithole country will never become any super power or whatever the government keeps chest thumping about, unless we have these troglodyte generation and it's enablers wiped off. India needs a rationalist, atheist revolution.
Deepinder Goyal, entrepreneur and founder of Zomato, visited the Art of Living International Center in Bengaluru and met @Gurudev, seeking His blessings.
A moment of connection, reflection and grace.
