This is democracy. He has resigned. We have two more demands. We won't go like this.

Dharmendra Pradhan has resigned. But the families of the children who committed suicide should receive compensation of one crore rupees. They should get it.
One crore rupees compensation to all those families.
And second, these police goons who acted on the 20th.
Action must be taken against the police officers for that.

Remember, do not mess with cockroach

It shows how Prime Minister Modi spends crores of public money to polish his own image, while the people end up paying the price for everything

A Government awarded (Padmasri) herbalist quack is "challenging me" because I exposed her "herbal cures" scam.

Here is her video link (also below): https://t.co/XAbkJub87A and here is mine exposing her: https://t.co/49BEeaHzWr

I am ready to sit at a table right across her on National TV for a LIVE debate (not online, but in person) and expose her quackery. If any media wants to do it, they can and I will comply and travel to any city. But it will be just me and her. No moderator. Just the broadcast and camera crew and the public watching us LIVE.

[TheLiverDoc™ @theliverdoc]

The Indian government awarded, Padmasree winning herbalist quack's account with 2 million followers has been suspended in India to prevent public health danger. This is how it should be. Fight against quackery.

@theliverdoc @rashtrapatibhvn @PMOIndia One of my professor was treated by her. He had lymphoma. Now he died a few months ago

[TheLiverDoc™ @theliverdoc]

Requesting the Government of India - honorable President @rashtrapatibhvn, @PMOIndia to withdraw the fourth highest civilian award bestowed on this quack - to maintain credibility and sanctity of such awards. This is shameful and atrocious. This woman's social media accounts are now being witheld because of legal demands in India due to cognizance of the public health danger she promotes.

In her Padma Award citation, the red-lined sections mentions "claims of" cure of serious illnesses and chronic diseases - this is an outright violation of Drugs and Magic Remedies Act. This woman should be chargesheeted and these "wild" claims investigated. Show some respect to the public you serve @PadmaAwards

Indian public in general maybe 'blind' health illiterates, but not all are! @arunachaltimes_

[Internet Freedom Foundation (IFF) @internetfreedom]

Statement : Shutting down Telegram is a band aid solution and is a disproportionate answer to exam fraud

The Internet Freedom Foundation objects to the directions announced today in the National Testing Agency's press release on action against the Telegram platform. On the NTA's recommendation, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has, under Section 69A of the Information Technology Act, 2000, restricted access to the whole of Telegram in India until 22 June 2026, and has separately ordered the platform to switch off message-editing for every Indian user until 30 June 2026. This is a blunt, nationwide measure aimed at the conduct of rampant fraud rackets, and on the Government's own admission is constitutionally incompatible.

At the outset it is important to note that Section 69A and the Blocking Rules of 2009 framed under it allow the Government to block access to specific “information” on a computer resource. They do not extend to switching off an entire intermediary, still less to ordering a company to redesign its product by removing a feature for a whole country. In Shreya Singhal v Union of India, the Supreme Court upheld Section 69A because it is narrow and hedged with procedural safeguards. Reading it to authorise shutting down a platform that lakhs use is an overbroad restriction by the NTAs own admission. For the message-editing direction the release identifies no source of power at all. If one exists, the order must say so.

The release argues against itself

A restriction on access has to be the least intrusive measure that achieves its aim as per the constitutional test of proportionality laid down in Justice K.S. Puttaswamy v. Union of India (2017) and applied in Anuradha Bhasin v. Union of India (2020). The NTA's own narration shows the block fails its nodal agency, the release says, “has secured the prompt take-down of a substantial number of Telegram channels, groups and bots”, and this targeted work “is the reason the harm caused by these rackets has been contained to the extent it has”. If channel level takedown contained the harm, the case for a blanket block collapses and hence the Government has reached for a heavier tool while conceding that a lighter one was working. The collateral cost sits on the record too as noted in the press release. The block, the NTA accepts, “affects lakhs of citizens who use the Telegram platform for legitimate personal, educational, professional and informational purposes”. The release also says there is "no such paper available outside the secured examination chain" and that “the security of the examination is unaffected by the action taken”. If the exam is secure and no leak exists, what is being suppressed is rumour, and rumour cannot justify closing a platform when specific blocking and criminal prosecution remain available.

Students use of Telegram

The block of telegram is reactive and ineffective and will punish ordinary users instead of addressing the systemic source of exam leaks. This blocking comes in the final days of NEET preparation, when thousands of students depend on Telegram for study groups, doubt-clearing, and shared resources. Also, it is important to consider that the source of exam papers leak will occur from inside the system, among insiders and across the printing and logistics chain, with the platform being the most downstream channel for distribution. Hence, switching off Telegram, is merely a deflection from the repeated failures that will continue while media attention is directed towards this Telegram ban.

Lack of transparency

At present only a press release from the NTA has been provided, which recommended the block but the reasoned order of MeitY, the authority that issued it, has not been released. The Anuradha Bhasin decision requires that orders restricting access be published so they can be tested in court. Here the order, and the reasoning of the committee behind it, stay out of view, and we do not know whether Telegram was heard at all. An announcement of a block is no substitute for an order the affected party can challenge.
Blunt to enforce and very easy to evade
Usually, app-level blocks run through IS-level DNS and IP filtering. They are over inclusive, sweeping in lawful use, yet simple to evade as a determined exam leak racket moves to a VPN or a mirror within minutes while ordinary users lose the service for a week.

We ask the Government to:

1) Publish the MeitY Section 69A order and the NTA recommendation behind it, with reasons;
2) State the legal basis for the message editing direction, or withdraw it;
3) Confirm whether Telegram was given a hearing under the Blocking Rules, and place the committee's record before any court that hears a challenge; and
4) Lift the platform-wide restriction and rely on the targeted takedowns the NTA itself credits with containing the harm.

We emphasise that the NEET (UG) 2026 re-examination is worth protecting and it concerns the future of lakhs of aspirants. It requires securing the entire process of examination rather than reaching for purported band aid solutions that instead cause more harm. The State cannot switch off a service used by lakhs to answer the wrongdoing of a few, and cannot do it through an order no one affected is allowed to read. On its own facts, the Government has done both.

A guy was ready to drop $1,500 on a new OLED TV because his 3-year-old Smart TV was freezing up and took 5 seconds just to respond to the remote.

He unplugged it. Deleted old apps. Cleared the cache. The lag kept coming back.

He went to Best Buy to get a replacement.

The home theater installer in the blue shirt stopped him: "Before you spend a grand, let me show you something."

He grabbed a remote and shook his head.

"There are 8 hidden tracking settings throttling your TV's processor right now. Manufacturers turn them all on by default. Nobody tells you they exist. Let's fix this."

Here's what he showed him in the next 8 minutes. 🧵

The Slovakian President stopped just short of the Yoga mat, but Modi went ahead and stood on it.

He was probably thinking they had spread out a green carpet for him to stand on.

Consequently, the Yoga instructor (seen from 0.15s onwards) had no mat left for herself.
