CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke has questioned the police action against protesting job aspirants in Jharkhand, asking why students and youth face tear gas and lathicharge while political leaders often do not.

Weeks after the CJP stir, the hounding of women protesters continues to raise disturbing questions.

While they were singled out, doxxed & threatened by Right-wing handles, 'star' anchors on TV joined the persecution. @shinjineemjmdr @onkeyta_ @prantik_ali

'Public is watching everything. I had chest pain after my vehicle was attacked, couldn't speak for 2 days. My convoy was attacked with large bricks. Even today, police came to our TMC bhawan & tortured people,' says Mamata Banerjee.

SADDENED: Having covered Parliament since the early 1990s, I am deeply disappointed to see these images of a near-fracas between ruling party and opposition MPs in the Parliament precincts.
This is what happens when:
1.Politics becomes hyper-polarised and hyper-partisan.
2.Central Hall — once a wonderful space for genuine inter-party conversation — is shut down. A crazy Covid-era decision that should be revoked ASAP.
3.The ruling party treats Parliament as a notice board, while the Opposition treats the House as its only forum to vent.
4.MPs cross from one side to the other with total impunity, simply to remain on the right side of power.
5.Too few MPs are willing to do the hard grind of parliamentary work.
6.Senior MPs and ministers fail to lead by example. Many of them don’t even come to the House as often as they should.
7. Those in the Chair, whose first duty should be to uphold the dignity and neutrality of the House, often fail to show even a modicum of impartiality.

Parliament is not just about shouting across the aisle. It is also about talking across it.
How one misses the likes of Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Somnath Chatterjee and Jaipal Reddy — stellar parliamentarians who relished the cut and thrust of debate, but also understood that political opponents need not be personal enemies.
We are losing something far more valuable than parliamentary decorum: the culture of Parliament itself. VERY VERY TROUBLING in the 80th year of Independence. 🙏

'तुमच्याकडे अधिकाररूपी तलवार आहे, पण तुम्ही त्याचा वापर केवळ डास मारण्यासाठी करता. हीच खरी समस्या आहे,' अशा अत्यंत कडक शब्दांत मुंबई उच्च न्यायालयाने अन्न व औषध प्रशासनाची (FDA) कानउघाडणी केली आहे. कॅडिला फार्मास्युटिकल्स या नामांकित औषध कंपनीवर एफडीएने केलेल्या अचानक जप्ती आणि विक्री बंदीच्या कारवाईवरून उच्च न्यायालयाने तीव्र नाराजी व्यक्त केली असून, एफडीए केवळ आपल्या अधिकारांचे प्रदर्शन करत असल्याचे खडेबोल सुनावले.

Salute to these kids who are fighting for their future!

All they are asking for is a road to their school. Is that too much to ask after nearly 80 years of Independence? This should have been done decades ago.

This 15th August, let’s pledge to work for the children and schools of rural India. 🇮🇳

क्या वाकई 12 साल में पहली बार युवाओं ने मोदी सरकार के खिलाफ आंदोलन किया? क्या हम रोहित वेमुला, उमर खालिद, नजीब को भूल गए?

11 अगस्त को जब उमर खालिद का जन्मदिन है, तब वरिष्ठ पत्रकार और सामाजिक कार्यकर्ता तीस्ता सीतलवाड से बात कर आपको बताने की कोशिश की है कि कैसे JNU से लेकर हैदराबाद तक, दिल्ली यूनिवर्सिटी से लेकर FTII तक, हर जगह आंदोलन हुए और खासतौर पर मुस्लिम छात्रों और दलितों को सबसे ज़्यादा झेलना पड़ा.. इस वीडियो के ज़रिए हमने आपकी याददाश्त को ताज़ा करने के साथ ही मोदि सरकार छात्रों और यूनिवर्सिटी में किस तरह से अपना पकड�� बनाना चाहती है, यह बताने की कोशिश की है

This is an extremely concerning practice in Parliament that has somehow been normalised!

How can legislation of such institutional importance be passed in barely 2 to 3 minutes? If Parliament will not debate how good or bad a Bill is, scrutinise its safeguards, question its consequences, and demand answers from the government that is making it, then what exactly is Parliament for ? This National Tribunals Commission will have a role in appointments to important tribunals dealing with matters ranging from taxation, protecting honest officers, to the environment. Yet there was NO parliamentary discussion on the architecture being created, the people who will exercise these powers, or the safeguards necessary to protect the integrity and independence of the process. And that’s exactly the problem. Tomorrow, when appointments made through this system come under scrutiny, a question mark will inevitably hang over this selection commission itself because Parliament did not scrutinise the system that it produced.

This is not just about this one Bill. This is about the frightening normalisation of legislation without deliberation!

And then we wonder why our institutions fail us. Why paper leaks remain unresolved, why environmental crises worsen, why pollution becomes an everyday catastrophe, and why accountability disappears.

People harping on about “good governance” must know that it does not begin after a law is passed but begins with HOW that law is made!
