Holy shit.
Maradona in 2018 on the day the World Cup 2026 was awarded to USA, Mexico and Canada, goes on saying:
“They will do 4 quarters of the game instead of two halves so to put commercials, you’ll see”
CPI(M) General Secretary M A Baby and senior leader Brinda Karat visited Jantar Mantar today and extended their solidarity with the ongoing student-youth movement demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and accountability for the NEET Paper Leak and the complete failure of the education system. They were accompanied by SFI Joint Secretary Aishe Ghosh and other student leaders.
Comrade Baby and Comrade Brinda met Abhijeet Dipke, Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka of the Cockroach Janta Party and environmentalist and educator Sonam Wangchuk, who is on a hunger strike seeking justice for students and calling for the Minister’s resignation. They expressed their whole-hearted support for the movement and assured the students and youth that the CPI(M) will stand with them in their fight for justice.
A UN Commission of Inquiry chaired by Justice S. Muralidhar has found that Israeli forces have killed 20,000 Palestinian children and injured 44,000 since October 2023.
This is the genocidal regime our Prime Minister Narendra Modi shook hands with, referring to Israel as the fatherland and India the motherland.
Israel Deliberately Killed Palestinian Children & Destroyed Their Childhood, Committed War Crimes : UN Inquiry Commission.
As per the report, more than 20,000 Palestinian children have been killed and over 44,000 injured since Oct 7, 2023.
The Commission is chaired by Dr. S Muralidhar, former High Court Chief Justice who is presently a Senior Advocate at the Supreme Court of India.

One Indian, genuinely respected by the world, engages with the big issue of this age. The genocide of children in Gaza by Israel. Justice Muralitharan, who was so strategically shunted out of Delhi high court, some years ago, has his say on global platform. Stay with spine erect, do not bend and cower and the world will stand by you.
Iran has changed the world order. A nation that faced economic sanctions for decades stood, its spine erect.
Message for India: Not standing up to a bully that mistreat you means diminishing world status.
Trying to find higher status by aligning with a doctrine of hate promoted by Netanyahu earns no respect. Israel has lost not just in theatre of war but world public opinion.
Have some shame @nytimes . Your half baked report destroyed lives. People dependent on Newsclick for their bread and butter are still without jobs . Your frivolous report made "Newsclick" a stigma on their CVs and no one would hire them .
• Jurgen, what’s your take on that Mexico vs South Africa game where the referee had to hold the players during the cooling break because FOX was still airing commercials?
🚨🗣️ 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Jurgen Klopp: “This is football being held hostage by suits in air-conditioned offices. These so-called ‘cooling breaks’ were sold to us as a shield for player welfare, a noble sword against the heat. But in reality? It’s nothing but a golden cage built for the advertisers.
When I saw players standing around during a cooling break while television schedules dictated the rhythm of the match, I couldn’t help but wonder: who is the World Cup really serving? The fans? The players? Or the advertisers?
A World Cup match should flow like a river. Instead, we’re building dams in the middle of it so commercials can pass through. That’s dangerous for the spirit of the game. Football was once the main event; now it risks becoming the background music to an advertising show.
We’re told these breaks are about player welfare, and of course player health matters. But when the game starts bending its knee to television timing, people are going to ask questions. The ball is supposed to be the star. Not a commercial break.
The World Cup is football’s cathedral. Yet sometimes it feels like we’ve turned it into a shopping mall where the cash register gets more respect than the match itself.
If this is the future, then football isn’t being interrupted by advertisements anymore. Football is becoming the interruption between advertisements.”

The fringes,liberals, ultras can all debate how to protest or start/debate their revolution on social media. While,the fact remains that it is SFI which is fighting on the streets, resisting RSS and their diktats!
Newsclick shut down, journalists lost their jobs - young reporters were called suspects. There should be an enquiry against the delhi police and ED officers in charge and should be made to pay damages
🇸🇴 Nunca vi algo así. En Somalia hoy se llenó un estadio para recibir como héroe nacional a Omar Artan, el árbitro al que Estados Unidos le negó la entrada al Mundial. Increíble.
The @FIFAcom World Cup in the United States must be cancelled.
No one should go see any of the matches.
Tickets should be burned in public, like draft cards.
It is difficult travelling in sleeper of @RailMinIndia,even if one has a confirmed ticket. One can't blame the crowd that filled the coach,most of whom gave a competitive paper which may get leaked.The govt.would neither run more passenger trains nor increase sleeper coaches.
Delhi: While media attention has been focused on the takeover of the grounds of the elite Gymkhana Club, the notices of eviction to hundreds of working class families living in nearby slums have largely been ignored. Today, Delhi CPI(M) leaders Asha Sharma, Aman Saini, Virender Gaur and others met the residents and extended support to their demand for resettlement in nearby areas. The residents said no other political party had come forward to help them. Further meetings are planned.
Farmers have been conducting a continuous agitation for around 443 days against the acquisition of nearly 9,600 acres of agricultural land in the Bidadi region for a proposed township/residential development project. The protest is being led by Karnataka Prantha Raitha Sangha.
