"Tired of going to the Supreme Court again and again, I don't feel there is any use of going to the Supreme Court, I have lost trust,"- Sr Adv Kapil Sibal.
"We go to the Court, but I don't know if we will get any relief. The people of the country feel that this Government should go. If anybody can save the Constitution in these times, it is the Supreme Court of India. But I am tired of keeping on going to the Supreme Court. I am speaking for myself. I don't think there is any use of going there. I don't have much trust in the Supreme Court of India. Whatever has to happen, will happen."
"We told the Supreme Court many times that the voters' names are being wrongly deleted and wrongly included, we argued for months. The evidence is before the public. And the appellate tribunals now say 93% of the voters were wrongly removed. So the Supreme Court must have known. But no relief was given. So I am speaking for myslef, I don't have [faith]" - @KapilSibal says.
Release Detained Youth Protesters in India: Asif Mahmud
It is deeply disappointing that the Indian government has chosen to suppress and demean the voices of young people fighting for transparency and accountability.
I strongly condemn the arrests of young protesters ahead of the demonstration, including youth icon @dhruv_rathee and Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder @abhijeet_dipke .
Reports also suggest that the Indian government has taken several measures to obstruct the protest, including cancelling hundreds of train schedules, suspending buses, blocking internet access, and barricading protest areas. Such actions raise serious concerns about the state of democratic freedoms and the right to peaceful assembly.
I urge the Indian government to immediately release all detainees and respect the fundamental rights of young people to assemble and protest peacefully.
I also call upon young people around the world to stand in solidarity with the youth of India at this critical moment, as they face government crackdowns while fighting for the just cause of transparency and accountability.

STATEMENT OF SOLIDARITY WITH THE YOUTH OF INDIA
Dhaka, Bangladesh | 10 October 2026
To the youth and democratic forces of India,
We stand in firm solidarity with the young people of India demanding electoral accountability and defending their democratic rights. Recent detentions of peaceful protesters, organizers, and journalists in New Delhi, alongside internet suspensions and restrictions at Jantar Mantar, directly threaten fundamental freedoms. Concerns regarding electoral integrity and institutional independence require transparent answers, not barricades and censorship.
This struggle is not yours alone. From Dhaka, we stand with you as friends bound by a common demand for accountable power, democratic institutions, and human dignity.
We know this struggle intimately, because we have lived it. In July 2024, our student led movement against recruitment quotas transformed into a nationwide uprising against 15 years of authoritarian rule. The state responded with live ammunition. The United Nations later estimated that as many as 1,400 people were killed during the uprising and its suppression. We deeply remember and honor the solidarity shown by Indian students, writers, and independent voices during our uprising.
We recognize India's rich traditions of democratic resistance. The women of Shaheen Bagh defended equal citizenship through a Delhi winter, while generations of students at JNU and Jadavpur University have sustained organised dissent. These remain invaluable democratic inheritances. Today, we once again see the courage of young Indian women on the streets. In Bangladesh, women were also at the forefront of the July Revolution; their courage and sacrifices helped secure our victory.
Hindutva majoritarianism, fascism, and every form of religious supremacy must not define the future of South Asia. We reject authoritarianism, communal hatred, and political intolerance in India just as we reject them in Bangladesh. Our shared future must rest on communal harmony and social justice, irrespective of religion, caste, gender, or class. No society is truly democratic while minorities live in fear, dissent is criminalized, and citizenship is conditional on identity.
We call upon Indian authorities to respect the right to peaceful assembly, disclose the whereabouts and legal grounds for detaining protest organizers, immediately release those held for exercising their rights, and ensure journalists can report without intimidation or equipment seizure.
Today, many young leaders have been unjustly detained. Sharjeel Imam and Umar Khalid continue to be kept behind bars for years without trial. We regard all of India's young protesters and prisoners of conscience as comrades. Their courage inspires young people across South Asia.
Our struggles are interconnected, extending to unresolved issues of border killings, water sharing, environmental protection, and national sovereignty. We seek a South Asia where nations treat each other as equals, governments remain accountable, and sovereignty is never an excuse for domination.
To the democratic people of India: from Dhaka, and from the unfinished democratic aspirations of our July generation, we stand with you. Stand firm, protect one another, reject communal hatred, and refuse to surrender the future of South Asia to fascism and division.
Inqilab Zindabad.
अमित शाह की दिल्ली पुलिस खुद तो गुंडागर्दी पर उतर ही आई - RSS-BJP के असली गुंडों को भी महिलाओं और युवाओं पर हिंसा करने की खुली छूट और बढ़ावा दे रही है।
जैसा मैंने कहा था, Mogambo Modi और उसकी सरकार जितना दबाएगी, Gen Z और छात्रों का गुस्सा उतना ही बढ़ेगा।
सोमवार, 12 अक्टूबर को कांग्रेस, पूरा INDIA गठबंधन और देश के युवा बड़ी संख्या में एक बार फिर सड़कों पर उतरेंगे। और इस बार भी आवाज़ पूरे देश में गूंजेगी - पहले से कहीं ज़्यादा।
@AmitShah, जितनी पुलिस लानी है, 10 हज़ार, 20 हज़ार, 40 हज़ार, ले आइए। BJP-RSS के जितने गुंडे बुलाने हैं, बुला लीजिए।
हम डरने वाले नहीं हैं। पीछे हटने वाले नहीं हैं। ये लड़ाई अब रुकने वाली नहीं है!
सोमवार को हम मुख्य न्यायाधीश से भी मिलेंगे और मांग करेंगे कि जब दिल्ली की सड़कों पर संविधान को तार-तार किया जा रहा है और लोकतंत्र को कुचला जा रहा है, तब कानून के संरक्षक आंखों पर पट्टी डाल कर नहीं बैठ सकते।
संविधान की धज्जियां उड़ेंगी और हम चुप बैठेंगे? ऐसा हरगिज़ नहीं होगा। जवाबदेही तय करवाकर रहेंगे!
#India: We are concerned by reports of mass detentions of demonstrators, protest leaders, members of civil society organisations, lawyers and journalists, before and during today’s large-scale demonstrations in Delhi.
We call on the authorities to ensure that the right to peaceful assembly is fully respected and fulfilled.

Pees out ✊🏽
The Election Commission of India is under fire like never before.
The SIR has struck 13 crore names off draft rolls, putting the EC at the centre of intense public debate over its role in deciding who gets to vote — and who doesn’t.
HOWEVER, what nobody knew: through that same period, some of the sharpest questions were being asked from inside.
Out today, after months of work. Our #ExpressInvestigation 🧵

"Umar Khalid has been behind bars for more than six years and the trial has not even started. What about his right to liberty? What about his right to speedy trial? The Supreme Court, in a later decision, has itself questioned the validity of the judgment in Khalid's case." - Justice Deepak Gupta
