Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah has criticised the BJP, calling it a “bloody lying party”, while expressing support for students protesting at the Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute (SRFTI) in Kolkata. In a video message, Shah accused the party of targeting people who oppose its beliefs and policies and alleged that students demanding accountability had faced show cause notices, surveillance, threats and orders to vacate hostels. Students have been staging an indefinite sit-in since October 12, demanding the resignation of Vice-Chancellor Santosh Ajmera over incidents of campus violence. Shah urged citizens to support the students, saying they would help tell the truth about the country’s future.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s interaction with a holographic version of late spiritual leader Swami Chinmayananda at an event in New Delhi on October 23 has sparked debate on social media. During the interaction at the Chinmaya Amrit Mahotsav Global Summit, the hologram recalled Modi’s meeting with the spiritual leader in 1993 and told him, “India is with you, Narendra.” While some praised the use of technology, others criticised the recreation of the late guru using AI, with several users mocking the interaction online. Chinmayananda, founder of the Chinmaya Mission, died in August 1993.

Female students at Jamia Millia Islamia have continued to participate strongly in protests demanding the restoration of student union elections, with supporters praising their unity and courage. The agitation began on October 12, when students launched an indefinite hunger strike over the absence of elected student representation since 2006. The university has formed committees to examine the issue, but protests have continued amid rising tensions on campus. On Saturday, the administration announced that classes would shift online and condemned the defacement of campus walls and alleged attacks on security personnel. Heavy police deployment was reported outside the university as the standoff continued.
