@zoo_bear Why a subversive version propagated. Without acknowledging weaknesses, strength cannot be achieved.

[The Public Reason @ThePublicReason]

@zoo_bear The US political spectrum are right now focussed on the MoU which is expected to be signed this week. Literally zero coverage to this interaction.
Unfortunately not much concern to the loss of precious lives of the seafarers in the Persian Gulf.

नीट पेपर लीक, 12वीं की सीबीएसई परीक्षाओं में धांधली के जिम्मेदार, सरकार में बैठे लोगों को दंडित करने की मांग को लेकर आज कुरुक्षेत्र में मेरे साथ हजारों युवाओं ने शांतिपूर्ण विरोध प्रदर्शन किया।

लेकिन, अपराधियों को बचाने वाली खर्चा पर्चा सरकार ने मुझे और मेरे साथियों को टारगेट करके वाटर कैनन का प्रयोग किया। उस वक्त का वीडिओ देखकर ये बात स्पष्ट हो जाती है कि हम एक इंच भी हटे नहीं, डटे रहे।

मैं सरकार को चेतावनी देना चाहता हूँ कि प्रदेश और देश का युवा आर-पार की लड़ाई के मूड में है। 12 जून को सरकार पानीपत में आकर देख ले, इससे भी बड़ा प्रदर्शन होगा।

The doctor’s name is Dr. P.K. Chaturvedi. He originally demanded ₹25,000 for the surgery. Although the mother had secured orders from the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) for free treatment due to extreme poverty… Still the hospital staff forced her to pay ₹8000. Even though The 14-year-old victim, who is reportedly mentally unwell and speech-impaired during a follow-up check-up, the doctor forcibly bent and fractured the already-joined bone again.

@zoo_bear Freebie culture needs to be curtailed, it will bring economic doom if it continues at this pace.

@Nher_who "Biryani" is as Hindustani a word as one can be derived from "birinj" which is Persian. Same with "pulao" derived from "pilaf". Both the words are swadeshi.

हर दिन ऐसी ख़बरों से सामना है। बीजेपी के मुस्लिम नेताओं और प्रवक्ताओं को देखना चाहिए। उन्हें देख कर लगता है सब ठीक है। कभी देखा नहीं कि बीजेपी के मुस्लिम प्रवक्ता ऐसे मसलों पर लिखने की हिम्मत कर पा रहे हैं। गोदी मीडिया के बक्से में बंद रह कर कुछ भी सपोर्ट करने से अच्छा है ऐसी घटनाओं का संज्ञान लें। सरकार और प्रशासन से बात करें। बीजेपी में ही नेता अपनी जाति के पक्ष में खड़ा होता ही है। बीजेपी के मुस्लिम नेता भी बोल सकते हैं। अगर यह सब दिखाई देता है और साहस है तो। मीडिया में ख़बर छपने और ट्वीट करने से कुछ असर नहीं हो रहा है। हर दिन ऐसी घटनाओं को देखना भी हताशा और शर्म से गुजरना हो गया है।

Note that the UK Government just banned entry of two American citizens -- @cenkuygur and @hasanthehun -- not because they criticized or worked against the interests of the UK.

It was solely because they criticize and oppose the one country deemed sacred and off-limits in the UK and so many other wester countires: Israel.

The UK under Labour is also regularly arresting its own citizens for peacefully protesting Israel's genocide in Gaza (including old British ladies and countless Jewish activists at these protests, though they remain free to protest *in favor* of Israel or against any other country).

This is all driven by the same dynamic that caused the Trump Admin -- as one of its very earliest top priorities last year -- to force US universities to expel American students protesting Israel, to deport others who merely criticized Israel, and to implement aggressive speech codes to protect Israel from common criticisms (even though one is free to say all the same things about any other country, including the US).

Why does this one small country command such special, elevated, supreme status and attention in so many western countries? It's way past time to give that question the attention it deserves and to finally put and end to it.

Sharp Edge: A North Eastern man is murdered by bigots; Christians are assaulted for celebrating Christmas; a birthday party is disrupted for ‘love jehad’; a migrant worker is killed by teenagers.
This is the season of violence, bloodshed & hate. What’s happening to India?

"Bajrang Dal is not enough, Hindus should make ISIS like organisations."

While Home Minister Shah is too busy in his Bengal Election Campaign, a man in Delhi-NCR is asking for an ISIS-like outfit.

Dainik Jagran's Communal Reporting: The Bareilly Incident:

Dainik Jagran is one of India's biggest newspapers. But look at how they reported the Bareilly cafe incident:

Their headlines said:
- "One Muslim youth detained, second Muslim youth absconded"
- Made it sound like one girl was alone with two Muslim boys

The actual truth:
- It was a birthday party with 16 students
- Only 2 out of 16 were Muslims
- They didn't mention the religion of the other 14 students.

Why only mention "Muslim youth" in the headline? Why not mention everyone else's religion?

This is not news reporting. This is communal propaganda.

They took a simple birthday party and made it sound like something suspicious by only focusing on the Muslim students.

Would they write "Hindu youth detained" if the situation was reversed? Never.

Dainik Jagran has crores of readers. With such huge reach comes responsibility. But instead of fair reporting, they're spreading communal bias.

This is dangerous journalism. It creates hatred and divides people.

I am dead against bulldozer justice. But the fake toughness and bulldozer action of UP Police will never happen against Bareilly Bajrang Dal perpetrators. Either Yogi govt is weak, or complicit.

Third Indian who has been killed in one week over accusation of being an ‘outsider’. We must outrage over the killings in Bangladesh but we must stay quiet on those being killed on our own soil

Ban the Bajrang Dal. Third rate thugs thriving on VHP & RSS patronage.
