Order withdrawn last night, no cause of action remaining, but the show must go on and the headlines must be tweeted.

A 10/10 performance by K. Parameshwar here, Oscar-worthy stuff.

“because the woman’s word is treated as inherently insufficient, some object in the room is elevated into a proxy for her truthfulness. Once upon a time it was the state of her clothing, then it was injuries, then it was the promptness of the complaint, and now it is a lift door”

There is an event going on in Bharat mandapam where somebody has revealed my info to display their AI tool.

How was this allowed?

Notice the timing of the Diary Entry at Parliament Street P.S- it was filed at 1.24 am on July 22, two days after the July 20 incident and hours after The Hindu reported that RAF used pellet guns at protestors. RAF made sure to document that it was done on the directions of Delhi Police.
Also, Following the July 20 incident, the RAF withdrew shock batons, electric shields, pump-action guns, and the anti-riot guns, which fire pellets, from personnel deployed at Jantar Mantar. A review by RAF I-G General also highlighted “serious deficiencies” in RAF behaviour during the march, in violation of its principle of “sensitive policing”.

This is insanity. The Supreme Court has no such powers. I hope responsible legislators, chief ministers, newspaper editors, and other citizens speak out against the Chief Justice behaving in such a despotic manner, going far beyond the powers vested under the Constitution.

Tomorrow, the bail appeals of nine activists in the 2020 Delhi Riots cases are listed before the SC.

This is the fourth occasion - in five years - that a court will consider these bail applications. The previous three have resulted in gross miscarriage of justice. A thread. 👇

You notice how in this country, despite all the state repression and nameless faceless trolls, it is ordinary citizens who are willing to stand up, with their names and faces in a press conference, to fight for all of our right to a free and fair election?

[Gautam Bhatia @gautambhatia88]

One of the worst judicial injustices in recent times, now perpetuated for indefinitely longer.

The cases against these people are built on foundations of smoke; to justify their imprisonment without trial for 5+ years, on each occasion, court judgments lack all reason. See:👇

Kafka himself could not have dreamed up something like the penultimate paragraph of this judgment.

This is a stunning piece of accidental confession to explain the news media playbook last few years. It’s a simple three step process (already mastered by WhatsApp uncles over the years):

1. Label yourself as ‘apolitical’/‘observer’.
2. Start framing every issue into a govt vs opposition conflict.
3. Black out the uncomfortable issues under the pretext of being apolitical.

Stories of public concern (mob lynchings, ethnic violence, sexual assault allegations against people in power, or even much widespread old-school issues of rising unemployment etc) have been systemically ignored under the horribly shameful pretext of ‘not our job to discuss politics’. Every inconvenience faced by the common citizen has been dubbed as the ‘opposition’ and hence ‘not our job to side with them’.

And to top all that, constant pushing of communal, divisive, and provocative narratives has been normalised as a job of media. So somehow - talking about a tunnel collapse is political side-taking but branding an entire religion as anti-national every night through shrieking anchors is being a ‘neutral observer’.

They own the house - let that sink in. An Indian Muslim family are being preventing from living in a house they lawfully own.

The state has stopped protecting their property rights here - this is apartheid.

[Aditi Agrawal @Aditi_muses]

Point 2 is the most important one here.

The question is raises it that how was previously breached data (presumably non CoWin data) linked with details specific to CoWin database (like place of vaccination, ID used, people linked to the same number)?

That can only happen if

Brij Bhushan stalked, abused, targeted us: FIRs detail 12 instances of sexual assault. “My daughter is a young wrestler. At the beginning of her career she could not muster the courage to face a sexual predator like Brij Bhushan,” says the minor’s father. https://t.co/JqTuVNKGvh

Wrestling's world governing body has issued its first statement about the protests by the Indian wrestlers.

[Lavanya 🎙️🎥👩🏻‍💻 @lav_narayanan]

Wrestlers full statement. For those who can't read Hindi:
You all saw what happened with us on 28 May, you saw the way the police behaved with us. The urgency with which we were arrested when we were peacefully demonstrating. 1/n
