Irrespective of one's political views, Madhu Kishwar's latest attack on PM Modi is nothing but malice with no proof. She's also giving a free pass to the killers/rapists of the Kathua minor. These are all men who have been convicted. Don't share this toxic rubbish.

By attacking Iran directly the US has thrown the world into the kind of terminal chaos known as WW3 most likely - they can’t win unless they put boots on the ground. So misery and death will reign supreme - oh , and trump has made sure Iran will pummel Israel endlessly .
Congrats. Trump and Netenyahu - and neo cons and liberals - you saw a genocide did nothing you knew Netenyahu was clearly a madman - and he dragged you into WW3 -
The same madmen who brought you Iraq - and you followed - obeyed and carried the big lies - you’ve assured the genocide will continue AND Israel will be under attack as long as Iran has a pulse - congrats ! PS - You can be guaranteed Iran will now attain nuclear bombs - long live death !

Our statement on the reason for not participating in #ExitPolls

Voters have cast their votes and their verdict has been secured.

The results will be out on 4th June. Prior to that, we do not see any reason to indulge in speculation and slugfest for TRP.

The Indian National Congress will not participate in the debates on #ExitPolls.

The purpose of any debate should be to inform the people. We will happily partake in debates from 4th June onwards.

प्रिय कार्यकर्ताओं, पदाधिकारियों और प्रत्याशियों

मैं आज आपसे एक बेहद ज़रूरी अपील कर रहा हूँ। आप सब कल वोटिंग के दौरान भी और वोटिंग के बाद के दिनों में भी, मतगणना ख़त्म होने और जीत का सर्टिफिकेट मिलने तक पूरी तरह से सजग, सतर्क, सचेत और सावधान रहिएगा और किसी भी प्रकार के भाजपाई बहकावे में न आइएगा।

दरअसल ये अपील हम इसलिए कर रहे हैं क्योंकि भाजपावालों ने ये योजना बनायी है कि कल शाम को चुनाव ख़त्म होते ही, वो अपनी ‘मीडिया मंडली’ से विभिन्न चैनलों पर ये कहलवाना शुरू करेंगे कि भाजपा को लगभग 300 सीटों के आसपास बढ़त मिली हुई है, जो कि पूरी तरह से झूठ है। ऐसे में आपके मन में ये सवाल उठेगा कि भाजपा को इस दो-तीन दिन का झूठ बोलने से क्या मिलेगा, जबकि ‘इंडिया गठबंधन’ की सरकार बनने जा रही है। इसके जवाब में हम आपको बता दें कि ऐसा झूठ फैलाकर भाजपा वाले आप सबका मनोबल गिराना चाहते हैं, जिससे आपका उत्साह कम हो जाए और आप लोग मतगणना के दिन सावधान और सक्रिय न रहें, जिसका फ़ायदा उठाते हुए भाजपा कुछ भ्रष्ट अधिकारियों की मिलीभगत से मतगणना में धांधली कर सके। ध्यान रहे जो भाजपाई चंडीगढ़ के मेयर के चुनाव में कोर्ट द्वारा लगवाए गये कैमरों के सामने धांधली करने का बेशर्म दुस्साहस कर सकते हैं, वो चुनाव जीतने के लिए कोई भी घपला-घोटाला करने के लिए उतारू हो सकते हैं, इसीलिए ये सजगता ज़रूरी है।

इसीलिए आप लोगों से ये विशेष अपील है कि आप लोग किसी भी भाजपाई ‘एक्जिट पोल’ के बहकावे में नहीं आएं और पूरी तरह से चौकन्ना रहते हुए, अपना आत्मविश्वास बनाए रखते हुए डटे रहें और जीत के अपने मूल-मंत्र ‘मतदान भी सावधान भी’ को याद रखते हुए, जीत का प्रमाण-पत्र लेकर ही संविधान, लोकतंत्र और देश की जनता की जीत का उत्सव मनाएं।

आपका
अखिलेश

तानाशाह की असली 'सूरत’ एक बार फिर देश के सामने है!

जनता से अपना नेता चुनने का अधिकार छीन लेना बाबा साहेब अंबेडकर के संविधान को खत्म करने की तरफ बढ़ाया एक और कदम है।

मैं एक बार फिर कह रहा हूं - यह सिर्फ सरकार बनाने का चुनाव नहीं है, यह देश को बचाने का चुनाव है, संविधान की रक्षा का चुनाव है।

On Iran’s strike:

At Stanford, I attended a masterclass on military strategy led by a person with decades of experience, including serving at the highest levels in the military and government.

One lesson he thought that I always remember was this:

He asked us:

“Say the US decided to attack Iraq with a new stealth jet it hadn’t used before that evaded all radars? The attack was a success. Was it strategic?”

Many in the class raised their hands to say “yes, it achieved its goal”. But the professor said: “It may not have been”.

Why?

“Because now your adversaries know your capabilities and it’s a matter of time before they find ways around them. If this attack could be done with conventional weapons, it’s better to keep your top weapons until you need them. Using them creates a disadvantage.”

My analysis is that the scale of Iran’s attack, the diversity of locations it targeted, and weapons it used, forced Israel to uncover the majority of anti-missile technologies the US and it have across the region.

The Iranians did not use any weapons Israel didn’t know it had, it just used a lot of them. But the Iranians likely now have almost a full map of what Israel’s missile defence system looks like, as well as where in Jordan and the Gulf the US has installations. It also knows how long it takes to prepare them, how Israeli society responds…etc

This is a huge strategic cost to Israel, while Arab regimes now are being blasted by their peoples, particularly the Jordanian monarchy, for not doing anything to protect Gazans but then going all out to protect Israel.

Crucially, Iran can now reverse engineer all the intel gathered from this attack to make a much more deadly one credible. While the US and Israel will have to re-design away from their current model which has been compromised. Its success in stopping this choreographed attack is thus still very costly.

Moreover, with the threat of a regional war that neither the US nor the Arab regimes want feeling nearer, it’s likely their pressure on Israel to back down will increase, making a ceasefire more feasible.

Anyone assuming this is just theatrics is missing the context of how militaries assess strategy versus tactics. Theatre is an important factor, but gathering intelligence of the “enemy’s” posture is more valuable, especially if one believes they’re in a long war of attrition.

Netanyahu and the Israel government prefer a quick hot and urgent war where they can pull in America. The Iranians prefer a longer war of attrition that bleeds Israel of its deterrence capabilities and makes it an ally for Arabs and the US that’s too costly to have.

Lastly, if you are a person who hates war, if you want peace, the best and only way to get there in the region is to support the Palestinian struggle for freedom, justice and dignity.

There is no sustainable peace possible as long as Palestinians live under an oppressive system of apartheid.

जो BJP मेयर चुनाव में पूरी दुनिया के सामने लोकतंत्र की हत्या कर सकती है, वो दिल्ली की सत्ता में बने रहने के लिए क्या करेगी यह कल्पना से परे है।

वर्षों पहले आज ही के दिन गोडसे ने गांधी जी की हत्या की थी और आज ही गोडसेवादियों ने उनके आदर्शों और संवैधानिक मूल्यों की बलि चढ़ा दी।
