NYT quotes @LiveLawIndia story on Delhi HC proceedings reported by @TripathiGee

The allegations levelled against Advocate Rohin Bhatt are extremely serious. It is brave of Raghavi to come forward publicly against him. Since this came to light, several others have also spoken up, not only in solidarity, but by sharing their own “personal experiences” and by saying how “unsurprised” they are by these allegations. This points to a disturbing pattern of behaviour on Bhatt’s part, which makes Raghavi’s claims even more serious and credible.

Bhatt’s behaviour is unacceptable in any civilised society, MORE SO given his public posturing as a flag-bearer of queer rights. I am sorry for what Raghavi has to go through. No one should ever have been subjected to this.

At the same time, Bhatt must respond. In any case, regardless of what he says, the safety and dignity of every human being, not just those belonging to the queer community, remains our shared responsibility. The least one expects is a fellow member treats their own with respect and care. Bhatt has failed on these very basic grounds. I hope he reflects seriously on his behaviour and repents.

It’s not for classicist mockery, it’s for seeking accountability for allegations of intentional lying on election affidavit which amounts to an electoral offence - and that too by the highest elected official of the land. Anish completely lost the plot here.

[Anish Gawande @anishgawande]

The education of a PM - or indeed any elected official - has little to do with how well they govern.

Calls for PM Modi to show his degree are rooted in a conception of politics that is inherently classist. Disagree with him on his ideology, his failed policies - not his degree.

[Anjali Bhardwaj @AnjaliB_]

Even before the Data Protection Act has been notified, it is being used to deny information related to PM Modi’s degree. Is this why the RTI law was amended through the Data Protection Act? Destroying people’s right to know in the name of data protection! #DelhiUniversity

This will harm the state’s autonomy to prioritise federal grants to fund research that is more suitable to local rather than national interests/issues

The #NITIAayog has recommended that the Department of Science and Technology cut its ‘core grant support’ for State Science and Technology Councils and pare them down to ‘project-based support,’ @neutranino ✍️

@Jerry_Ratcliffe I am generally against the practice of awarding “best article” - can’t think of any fair metrics for the same
