Dear fellow Indians,

The news coming in is very disturbing and I am hoping it's wrong.

Mohd Junaid, our hero, who has been selflessly serving food and water to the protestors at Jantar Mantar is being harrassed by Sanghis.

UP Police has raided Junaid’s house and taken his father and minor brother into custody.

Please raise your voice. We can't let this happen.

This is pure Sanghi vileness and desperation.

वित्त मंत्री निर्मला जी पेपर लीक के फायदे गिना रही हैं

“पेपर लीक होने से बच्चों को पढ़ने का और ज़्यादा वक़्त मिल गया जिससे वह बेहतर कर सके”

चलिए मैडम, अब लगे हाथ जिन 22 बच्चों ने अपनी जान दे दी उसके फ़ायदे भी गिना दीजिए

हद होती है - How brazenly insensitive are you?

On the night the gas came, twenty three railway men at Bhopal station were already dead, including his own boss. He was choking, his eyes were burning, and he did not know yet what was in the air.

He stayed on the platform anyway, and he did not leave it for the rest of the night.

His name was Ghulam Dastagir.

He was the deputy station superintendent at Bhopal Junction. On the night of 2 December 1984, around forty tons of methyl isocyanate escaped from the Union Carbide pesticide plant and moved across the sleeping city. It is still the worst industrial disaster the world has ever seen.

He had been working late on paperwork. At about one in the morning he stepped onto the platform to check an incoming train, and felt his eyes burn and his throat close.

Understand what a railway station is on a night like that. It is the one place in the city that keeps delivering people into the poison, train after train, hundreds at a time, all of them stepping out onto a platform that will kill them.

He worked out what that meant faster than almost anyone in Bhopal did.

The Gorakhpur Express was standing at the platform with twenty minutes still to go before departure. He ignored the timetable and every rule that governed it, and sent that train out of the city early. Everyone on board lived.

Then he sent word up and down the line, to Vidisha, to Itarsi, to every station he could reach, and told them to stop all traffic into Bhopal. Do not send us any more people.

He could have run. His colleagues were lying dead around him and the platform was filling with people who were gasping and vomiting and weeping. He stayed. He moved from platform to platform through the night, helping people, and sent an emergency call to every railway office within reach until ambulances and doctors finally arrived.

Thousands of people are alive because a middle ranking railway official refused to leave his post.

He paid the full price. The gas stayed in his lungs. He spent nineteen years in and out of hospitals and died in 2003, and the illness that killed him was the one he breathed in that night.

In 2023 a series was made about that night, and the character based on him was given a different name. So even the people who watched it and cried never learned who he actually was.

His name was Ghulam Dastagir, and the reason the death toll at Bhopal was not far higher is that one man decided the trains were his responsibility.

Margaret, 90, had gotten outside twice before her son Keith installed cameras. He expected to find footage of the problem.
He found something else. Every single night for nine months their golden retriever Flynn had already been at the front door before Margaret reached the hallway.
Blocking. Redirecting. Taking her sleeve and guiding her back to bed. Thirty-seven documented nights. Not once had she made it outside. Margaret's neurologist watched the recording and said: "I have worked in memory care for twenty-three years. Flynn is performing structured redirection. He built every component of it on his own." Keith said: "He figured it out the first night."

Good grief! She is astounding! Respect 👏👏❤️❤️

"Their owner passed away alone in his apartment. Nobody found him for three days. The dogs waited the whole time." When animal control finally arrived, Max and Buddy were sitting by the front door. Not destructive. Not panicked. Just sitting. Waiting. Doing what he had always taught them to do. They came to our shelter with nothing. No records. No vet history. No family contact. Just each other. And one old tennis ball that somebody thought to grab on the way out. That was eleven days ago. Every morning they sit at the kennel door and wait. Every time they hear footsteps they both stand up. Every time those footsteps pass — they go back and lie down together. They don't know he's not coming. They just know he always came back before. Max is 6. Buddy is 5. Both healthy. Both gentle. Both heartbreakingly good dogs. Neither one will do well separated. They have never spent a night apart. They were somebody's whole world. Now they need somebody to be theirs. If you are in the USA and you have room in your home and your heart — please share this until it reaches the right person. They've already waited long enough. Drop a ❤️ for Max and Buddy. And please — SHARE. One share could be everything.

The whole education system is being destroyed systematically. Please tell me how this is not worse than anything Zia did to Pakistan's education system. Colonial rulers would be proud of what the BJP is doing to finish India's worth as a knowledge centre.

Rahul is fighting a battle neither Indira nor Rajiv had to fight.

Government agencies, media, leftist, rightist, centrists and even former allies have lined up against him.

Yet he continues to stand his ground without compromising before power.

That’s why I want RaGa as PM.

THIS 18-YEAR-OLD DID NOT BLINK 🔥

RAJDEEP: CBSE says TCS quoted around ₹951 crore, Coempt Edutech around ₹384 crore. Lowest bidder wins, so rules were followed.

SARTHAK 🎯: My question is not whether CBSE followed the rules. My question is why CBSE changed the rules.

RAJDEEP: People say you are batting for the opposition.

SARTHAK 🔥: In a democracy, opposition parties are pressure groups. If someone supports me, I am thankful. If someone ignores me, I do not care.

बेरोज़गार युवाओं को 'कॉक्रोच' समझने वाले भारत के मुख्य न्यायाधीश इस समय क्या कर रहे हैं - मालूम है? मी लॉर्ड इस समय लंडन की खूबसूरत फिज़ाओं में बैडमिंटन का टूर्नामेंट खेल रहे हैं.

जून का महीना चल रहा है. देश में भयंकर उमस और गर्मी है तो मी लॉर्ड महोदय यहां कैसे खेलते? पसीना निकलता. कहीं बेहोश हो जाते तो? मी लॉर्ड के मनोरंजन में कहीं कोई कमी न रह जाये इसलिये मोदी जी के कानून मंत्री किरण रिजिजू ने खुद आगे बढ़कर लंडन में टूर्नामेंट कराने का इंतज़ाम कराया.

भारत का कानून मंत्रालय मी लॉर्ड और उनके चेले-चमचों का खेल स्पॉन्सर कर रहा है.

बैडमिंटन तो अकेले खेला नहीं जाता इसलिये मुख्य न्यायाधीश का साथ देने देश कानून मंत्री भी लंडन पहुंचे हुये हैं. उन्होंने और मी लॉर्ड ने मिलकर बैडमिंटन टूर्नामेंट का उद्घाटन किया. पांच लाख का इनाम भी रखा है. 1000 रुपये एंट्री फीस. सूर्यकांत और रिजिजू के अलावा भारत के 150 जज और वकील इस वक्त लंडन में बैडमिंटन टूर्नामेंट खेल रहे हैं.

कितना सुंदर दृश्य होगा! भारत का मुख्य न्यायाधीश जो युवाओं को 'कॉक्रोच' समझता है और युवाओं को 'कॉक्रोच' बनाने वाली सरकार का कानून मंत्री एक साथ बैडमिंटन खेल रहे हैं. एक से बढ़कर एक शॉट्स मार रहे हैं. चेले-चमटे तालियां बजा रहे हैं. दमकते-महकते माहौल में बियर, व्हिस्की परोसी जा रही है.

मी लॉर्ड और माननीय मंत्री जब खेल रहे होंगे तब उनके हाथ में रैकेट होगा. जब नहीं खेल रहे होंगे तो हाथ में बियर या व्हिस्की का ग्लास होगा. बैडमिंटन की बारिकियों के अलावा तब दोनों लोग, चुस्कियां लेते हुये, भारत को विश्वगुरु बनाने गंभीर चर्चा करते होंगे.

ब्रिटेन की राजधानी में, ब्रिटेन के गुलाम भारत की न्यायपालिका और कार्यपालिका का ऐसा मिलन अब तक कम से कम मैंने नहीं देखा या पढ़ा था.

मोदी जी चाहते हैं कि जनता सोना न खरीदे, बैलगाड़ी से चले, शादी-ब्याह का आयोजन न करे ,पैसा बचाये ताकि उनकी असफलताओं को ढंका जा सके. लेकिन इस देश का इलीट क्लास, देश को चूसकर भी लंडन में मौज कर रहा है. पर मोदी जी कुछ नहीं बोलते.

ABD’de bir aile, sahiplendikleri köpeğin yeni evine alışamadığını düşünmüştü çünkü köpek, üst üste üç gece evden kaçıp eski barınağına geri döndü.

Aile, üçüncü gece onu takip etti. Köpek barınağa girer girmez eski kafesine gitmek yerine doğrudan büyük bir köpeğin kafesine koştu.

Barınak çalışanları, iki köpeğin burada çok yakın arkadaş olduğunu anlattı. Karşılıklı kafeslerde kalan ikili, her gece birbirlerine bakarak uyuyordu.

Aile bunun üzerine köpeğin aslında eski hayatını özlemediğini, barınaktaki en yakın arkadaşını yalnız bırakmak istemediğini fark etti.

Hikâyeden etkilenen aile, sonunda büyük köpeği de sahiplenerek iki dostu yeniden bir araya getirdi.

Dün akşam bizim sitede oturan genç bir kızın peşine iki serseri takılmış; lâf atarak, taciz ederek sitenin önüne kadar gelmişler. Dışarıdaki gürültüyü duyunca balkona çıktım; bir de baktım ki, sitemizde yaşayan beyaz köpek Bulut adamlardan birinin bacağını ısırmış, ikisi de bağırarak kaçıyorlar.
Bulut bir sokak köpeği idi, uzun zaman önce kendiliğinden sitemize gelip yerleşti. Bir kulübe yaptırdık, çip taktırdık, bizim köpeğimiz oldu.
Bulut sitedeki herkesi tanır. İlköğretimde okuyan çocuklar kışın sabahın karanlığında servis aracını beklerken, o da onların yanında bekler. Yaşlı komşularımız bir sokak ötedeki markete giderken, o da onlarla beraber gidip gelir. Yaşadığımız yerde yaban domuzları var, gece sabaha kadar etrafı kolaçan edip domuzları siteye yaklaştırmaz. Dün akşam da sitedeki genç kızı korumuş.
Hayatım boyunca insanlara çok iyilik yaptım, karşılığında hep nankörlük ve düşmanlık gördüm. Köpeğin sahip olduğu vefa duygusu insanda yok.
Resimde Bulut'u sitenin önünde bekçilik yaparken görüyorsunuz.

Starvation crushed his tiny body, yet he still wagged his tail and begged us not to leave 💔
The little dog was rushed to the emergency vet and given the name Sugar Snap.

For days, he fought for his life. Sepsis, anemia, blood transfusions, and endless setbacks nearly took him away. But even lying on the hospital floor with tubes attached to his tiny body, Sugar Snap still wagged his tail whenever someone showed him kindness. The light in his eyes never disappeared.

Today, Sugar Snap is no longer fighting just to survive. He’s finally living the beautiful life he always deserved.

This is so amazing how the animals love their carers. It's almost heartbreaking.

IF NOT NOW, WHEN !
I will be joining the CJP members in Delhi on 6th June if nothing changes by 5th June. Any self respecting Minister should resign if things go so wrong... Not to mention the effect on millions of young lives and in fact the future of India.
