What are #Atanuchakraborty's personal values and ethics? Making innuendoes while resigning from a responsible job and creating a run on banks' shares during a war? He should clearly state what were the happenings and practices in #HDFCBank, if there are any.
Totally shaken by the SC ordered Electoral bonds expose, Modi has lost the plot & is desperately flailing around. Having got used to ‘Modi’s wish is the law’; the tough order of SC, quashing the bonds & ordering release of Bond data (which shows BJP taking bribes of 1000s of Crs), unsettled him enough to tweet in support of a pathetic letter by BJP lawyers seeking to pressure CJI to back off from tough orders. The arrest of Kejriwal & the increasingly aggressive acts of IT & ED against opposition shows his desperation to be seen in control. All this is enraging the people who will no doubt inflict a historic on the BJP
It is ironic that the ED which has been involved in the extortion of money from corporates through electoral bonds for its BJP bosses & whose officers must be investigated and prosecuted, has arrested Kejriwal last night without a shred of documentary evidence against him, on the eve of elections. Shocking & condemnable!
VIDEO | Here's what senior advocate Prashant Bhushan (@pbhushan1) said on SBI moving Supreme Court on electoral bonds.
"This is totally malafide. SBI filed this application one day before they were supposed to give this information to the EC. For three days, they did nothing, and now they seek an extension till June 30 beyond the elections. Why? Because the government has made them file this application."

The judge of Calcutta HC who gave several judgements against the TMC, resigns & openly joins BJP, saying it is only party which can take on TMC! Who will trust his judgements now? It makes mincemeat of the code of conduct for judges
Saibaba Aquited , but after how long ? Who will give back his health to him? The courts ? Shame . How many others have to wait for bail? Who pays the price of loss of liberty without authority of law ?
This Clown show by both Countries at the Attari-Wagah Border really needs to Stop. Such Buffoonery should be left to some 3rd Grade Bollywood Movies, not Armed Forces
Umar Khalid continues to be in jail without trial or bail for 3 years, 4 months, and 14 days. Despite Justice AS Bopanna-led bench's assurance that the case would take "one or two minutes" to decide, over 6 months have elapsed since then.
The bail petition, in contravention of Supreme Court rules and convention, has shifted from one bench to another. From Bopanna J.'s bench, it moved to Justice Aniruddha Bose and ultimately to Justice Bela Trivedi's bench. The questionable manner in which the case was transferred, as I had reported in December (pinned tweet on my profile) to Trivedi-led bench by the master of the roster raises concerns about the impartiality of the process.
Now, despite Trivedi J.'s readiness to hear the case, Khalid's counsels have sought repeated adjournments and rightly so.
Even with the reportage exposing irregularities, the narrative has been conveniently manipulated to suggest a controversy over the "listing" of cases according to a lawyer's preference, which was never the actual issue. The master of the roster lacks the authority to shift cases from a senior judge's bench to that of a junior judge.
As Justice Trivedi retains control over Khalid's case despite noticing no confidence in her justice from his counsels, it is crucial to note the role of the master of the roster. The prolonged incarceration of an activist with a weak case is not solely the fault of the Indian state; the Supreme Court shares responsibility for failing to deliver justice. This collective inaction has a chilling effect on civil society.
In the face of such blatant foul play, the highest court in the land should be a bastion of justice. When confronted with evidence of such foul play in its own home, it is incumbent upon any learned judge to take corrective measures rather than attempting to manipulate the narrative.
All cricketers & Celebs came in support of Black lives matter
None came in support of Sakshi Malik and Bajrang Punia.
It's easy to speak on foreign matters, not on Govt's matter.
Must read @pbmehta on the comprehensive Constitutional collapse that we see today: Amidst emasculation of Liberty & throttling of Parliament, the CJI is reduced to giving lectures on Const morality, even as the SC loses any will to stand up for it.
Former Army chief Naravane’s says that Agnipath plan took all 3 Armed Forces by surprise. It reveals that PMO decides critical Defence issues — not the Armed Forces!
Neither PM not his PMO lackeys have ever faced a bullet or fought wars.

If he were alive, George Orwell would be in shock seeing the dystopian state of the world way beyond what he had imagined it to be.
Democracies are crumbling, leaders have turned despotic, freedom and human rights do not exist, police states and 24x7 surveillance have become a norm, citizens are divided into humans and non-humans, elections are rigged, fake news has enveloped the planet, armies are brutalìzing innocents, ethnic supremacy rules, religion has become a tool and majority of people have turned into servile, heartless, soulless slaves.
The person bowing down in front of the Supreme Leader is the Vice President of India.
Have you seen such a scene before "New India" started in 2014?
And they keep saying India is the "mother of democracy" under Aadarniya Pradhan Sevak!
