Whether it is or isn’t a red to Balogun is now irrelevant. Government interference is a violation of FIFA Article 2 & 15, and the punishment is disqualification and suspension. #FIFAWorldCup
Mr. @prasoonjoshi_
Can you please enlighten us on why 127 cuts were recommended for the film Panjab '95?
The same film, now renamed ‘Satluj’, has been taken down from an OTT platform in less than two days. The CBFC has no jurisdiction over OTT platforms or international releases.
Panjab '95 tells the story of Jaswant Singh Khalra, a man who exposed documented human rights abuses and paid for it with his life. If a film based on documented facts cannot be seen by Indian audiences, then the public deserves to know why.
This sends a very direct message to filmmakers and production companies: if you're paying homage to a great personality from a minority community, you'll have to face the CBFC.
Journalists should be asking the people running this censor board some hard questions. Why are some politically insensitive films able to pass with ease while others spend years in limbo?
A red carpet for Kashmir Files, Bengal Files, and Kerala Story. Roses for Dhurandar 1 & 2, a fictional documentary/explainer for the unthinkable and the unexplainable.
How does it feel to feast on four years of a director's career?
In Nehru's India, this would have been litigated in court. If filmmakers cannot tell the stories of people who stood up for justice without years of obstruction, what kind of cinema are we encouraging them to make?
Jaswant Singh Khalra Abducted again,
This time by the CBFC
Totally horrifying💔🥹
>A 13-year-old girl was kidnapped by an e-rickshaw driver in Rajasthan.
>She was held for 5 days and assaulted by 32 men.
>The girl was forced to drink alcohol.
>Police rescued her on June 22.
>12 people, including the driver, have been arrested.
>All involved hotels have been demolished.
Can our "so-called" constitution and judiciary actually deliver justice, or is this just another mockery of the system?
The silence surrounding the brutal five-day gang-rape of an innocent 13-year-old girl by 30 men in Ganganagar is absolutely deafening.
There are no protests, no mainstream news broadcasts and no trending topics on X for an act so monstrous.
It raises a disturbing question: is the public and media look the other way purely because this happened under a BJP administration?
Everything is allowed under BJP watch?
Hello @nytimes@guardian@lemondefr@BBCWorld@AJEnglish@FT please watch how police in Indian state of Bengal watch complicit as PM Modi’s ruling BJP goons in a lynch mob attack an Opposition MP’s premises & keep her confined for 4 hours.
Indian telecom Reliance is sabotaging access to Telegram for millions of users OUTSIDE India (including the UAE) via a rogue method called BGP hijacking.
The sabotage seems intentional, as Reliance has ignored multiple reports.
This may be part of a competitive war, as Reliance is partially owned by Meta — the company behind WhatsApp.
Network operators are advised to reject unauthorized BGP announcements from Reliance (AS18101) to prevent route hijacks and ensure stable Internet access for their users.
Such abuse of global Internet routing is alarming. I wouldn’t be surprised if Reliance/WhatsApp were also behind the recent lobbying effort to ban Telegram in India.
India’s IT ministry banned Telegram for one week because some users shared leaked exam questions.
This punishes 150M+ ordinary Telegram users in India — not the insiders who leaked the exam materials.
And the ban hasn't stopped anything. The leaks just moved to other apps.
अन्तर्राष्ट्रीय जल में तीन दिन में तीन जहाज़ों पर अमेरिकी हमलों में तीन भारतीयों की मृत्यु हो गई। और हमारे Compromised PM? एक शब्द तक नहीं।
जब कोई विदेशी ताकत किसी भारतीय की हत्या करे, तो प्रधानमंत्री को बोलना पड़ता है। लेकिन मजाल है जो ये एक शब्द बोल जाएं।
अगले हफ्ते G7 में, हमारे नाविकों की हत्या के बस चंद दिनों बाद, मोदी जी मुस्कुराएंगे, गले मिलेंगे और समझौते करेंगे - मगर, उन तीन भारतीयों के लिए उनके पास एक शब्द भी नहीं होगा।
Compromised PM भारत माता के बेटों की रक्षा नहीं कर सकते, क्योंकि जिन्होंने उन बेटों की जान ली उन्हें नाराज़ करने की इनमें न हिम्मत है, न ताकत।
PM Modi is saying 'thank you' to Trump.
Thank you for exactly what? For attacking ships with Indians on board and killing Indian nationals? The situation has become hopelessly embarrassing for our country now.
Modi ji has completely surrendered India's sovereignty, pride and the lives of its citizens to Trump. India needs a strong Prime Minister. Trump cannot be allowed to do whatever he pleases with our country and our people.
