Is the football World Cup losing its sanctity because of FIFA.. it’s starting to look rigged

🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Thierry Henry on the VAR controversy in Argentina vs Egypt:

🗣️ "Let's explain this calmly, because everyone is shouting, but not everyone is looking at the same incident."

"I've watched the replay several times, and I understand why Egypt feel frustrated. I also understand why Argentina believe the officials got the key decisions right. That's exactly why this debate has become so intense."

"The biggest issue isn't that people disagree. Football has always been full of disagreements. The real issue is consistency."

"When Egypt scored, VAR carried out a detailed review before the goal was eventually ruled out. Whether you agree with that decision or not, the process was thorough."

"The problem is that later in the match, Egypt had penalty appeals that many people expected to receive the same level of scrutiny. Instead, those moments appeared to be resolved much more quickly, and that's where supporters begin asking questions."

"Modern football has accepted VAR because it promises one thing above everything else: consistency. Fans don't expect perfection. Referees are human. But they do expect the same standard to be applied to every team, in every decisive moment."

"If one incident receives an exhaustive review, supporters naturally expect another equally important incident to receive exactly the same attention. When that doesn't happen, controversy becomes inevitable."

"None of this should take away from Argentina's mentality. They showed tremendous character to come back in such a difficult match. That deserves praise."

"At the same time, Egypt also deserve enormous respect. They played with courage, organisation and belief. For long periods they looked capable of producing one of the biggest surprises of the tournament."

"This is why football supporters are still debating the match. Not because Argentina completed a comeback—that happens in football. They're debating whether every decisive incident was judged with the same level of care."

"In the end, the result will remain in the history books. Argentina go through. Egypt go home."

"But the discussion surrounding VAR will continue, because whenever fans believe consistency is missing, the conversation stops being about football and starts being about officiating."

"And that's something nobody wants, because the players—not the referees—should always be the biggest story after a World Cup match."

This is Trinamool Congress leader Jahangir Khan, from the Falta constituency in South 24 Parganas, West Bengal.

He is being paraded barefoot, in shorts, with a rope tied around his waist, while being made to apologise to the public.

The Calcutta High Court has questioned the practice of parading accused persons in humiliating conditions, observing that such treatment undermines their dignity and constitutional rights. This is how the BJP seeks to rule the state.

On the other hand, the TMC is notorious for extortion. That is why, overnight, a majority of MLAs and MPs rush to the BJP’s ‘washing machine’ to escape such public humiliations and parades.

What @KirenRijiju means is that let our men harass, beat, bulldoze and kill Muslims and Christians, but do not talk about it. It does not sound good. Get killed silently.

He lies, as is the habit of the RSS folks. The first ban on RSS by HM Patel was lifted after the RSS promised good behaviour. It did not keep the promise, though, as is evident from its history. Courts never lifted any ban. Political powers did.

Meta has suspended the Instagram account of Indian human rights activist @MujtabaAasif, reportedly citing violations of its community guidelines. The account was taken down without an immediate public explanation of the specific content that led to the action.

Who is Aasif Mujtaba?

Aasif Mujtaba is an Indian human rights activist, researcher, and environmentalist. He is widely known for his work related to communal violence survivors, rehabilitation efforts, and grassroots humanitarian support in India.

He came into national prominence during the anti-CAA (Citizenship Amendment Act) protests at Shaheen Bagh in Delhi. The protests became a major civil rights movement, led largely by women, opposing the Citizenship Amendment Act.

Mujtaba is the founder and CEO of the Miles2Smile Foundation, a non-profit organisation that works on immediate relief, legal aid, and long-term rehabilitation for victims of communal violence, lynchings, and eviction or demolition drives. The organisation focuses on supporting affected families through both emergency help and long-term recovery.

He is also associated with Sunrise Public School, where he serves as Director. The school is focused on providing affordable or free education to children affected by displacement, including those impacted by communal violence such as the 2020 Delhi riots.

In addition, Mujtaba serves as Vice President of the Indian Muslim Association of NGOs (IMAN), a network that connects various Muslim-led civil society organisations working on social issues and community support across India.

Aasif Mujtaba is an alumnus of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi, where he studied Environmental Engineering. He also completed his senior secondary education at Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), one of India’s prominent educational institutions.

Very few visuals capture the state of Indian democratic decline better than Opposition leaders--even former MLAs--being paraded, often in their underwear, by the police as part of a humiliation ritual.

There increasingly seems to be little difference bw the mob and the state.

[Meer Faisal @meerfaisal001]

For the third time, a former MLA is being paraded in public, made to perform humiliating punishments, and reportedly forced to apologise to Hindus.

Would a non-Muslim ex-MLA be subjected to this kind of repeated public humiliation? Has any former elected representative from the majority community ever been treated this way?

@Kamru_Choudhury This will be a check and mate to the rebel group

[Dr Maira @MairaP_SpeakS]

Around 20 Muslim families in Maharashtra have decided to leave their ancestral village to protect their lives after alleging years of harassment, repeated mob attacks and discriminatory policing by supporters of Hindu extremist groups.

This might be just a news for some of you but it is a real life happening of Indian Muslims 😭

मीनाक्षी नटराजन का राज्यसभा नामांकन पत्र निरस्त होने के बाद मध्यप्रदेश कांग्रेस के वरिष्ठ नेता पूरी रात धरने पर बैठे रहे। वहीं दिल्ली में चुनाव आयोग कार्यालय के बाहर कांग्रेस के वरिष्ठ नेताओं ने भी विरोध प्रदर्शन किया।

कांग्रेस का आरोप है कि भाजपा के इशारे पर चुनाव आयोग ने मीनाक्षी नटराजन का नामांकन रद्द कर लोकतांत्रिक प्रक्रिया को कमजोर किया है और राज्यसभा सीट की "दिनदहाड़े चोरी" की है।

They are young brave Muslims not cockroaches. These Muslims are abused every day , killed every day, their house shops & Masjids bulldozed everyday. But here they are, brave, fighting and helping the needy.

BIG BREAKING | Surya Chauhan Murder Case.

According to locals, Surya had been repeatedly harassing and molesting Asad’s sister despite multiple warnings.

The family even shifted houses to escape the torment, but the harassment continued. In a tragic escalation of this long-standing dispute, Asad allegedly took matters into his own hands.
