WHEN IN POWER, IT WAS COMMON SENSE. OUT OF POWER, IT’S VOTE CHORI!
Here’s Kapil Sibal in the Rajya Sabha in 2010, under a Congress government, crisply explaining the circumstances in which names can be deleted from electoral rolls.
That is precisely the exercise the EC is undertaking today.
The rules haven’t changed, just the goal posts!
The battle line has been drawn. It is Dimagi Naxals Vs Patriotic Indians. Between those who believe in the Constitution of India Vs Anarchists.
अब लड़ाई भारत-विरोधी ताकतों और उन देशभक्त भारतीयों के बीच है जो भारत की रक्षा करना चाहते हैं।

TN Seshan CEC,was given ticket from Gandhinagar by Congress.
MS Gill served as Minister in Sonia Govt.
Navin Chawla was appointed CEC by Sonia Gandhi..on what grounds?
Clear biased was visible still they preach neutrality.
VS Sampath had multiple dissent notes against him..So?
I don't like Kapil Sibal as he is always found to be protecting the corrupt, extremists & anti social elements.
For the first time, I like him because he has exposed the bogus vote chori drama of Congress party through his old speech in Parliament as Law Minister!!

@gomechanicindia@GoMechanic — Urgent post-service safety concern. My VW Polo serviced at GoMechanic Order ID 202609215679054), developed issues immediately after service: jerking/dragging in 2nd gear, poor engine performance, AC blower issues, and the car stalled on the road.
Javed Akhtar claims Sholay's temple scene where Lord Shiva and Hinduism were mocked can't be screened in today's India.
Wrong, Javed saab. You can screen it even today, just that in today's India, Hindus will ask you why you never had the guts to mock Allah or Islam similarly.
THE SYSTEM WILL MUZZLE INDIA’S FOOD POLICEMAN – TUKARAM MUNDHE. DON’T LET IT.
Tukaram Mundhe stands between us and a silently bubbling health crisis.
Had Tukaram Mundhe not stood up to the powerful 5-star, celebrity restaurant, corporate food chain and dark store lobby, we wouldn’t have known just how much unsafe and adulterated food can enter the food chain.
In case you’re wondering, Mundhe is the Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in Maharashtra. Over the past few weeks, his relentless drive against unhygienic food vendors has led to raids on restaurants, major food chains and 86 quick-commerce hubs. The raids have uncovered serious hygiene and food-safety violations. Four Domino’s and one Pizza Hut outlet were shut after FDA inspections found, among other things, grease residue, insect infestations and food products without proper expiry information.
Then came the dark stores. The FDA suspended 14 food licences linked to Blinkit, Zepto and Instamart outlets after inspections found violations including cockroaches and expired food.
In Maharashtra’s crackdown on milk adulteration, FDA inspections detected the dilution of milk with water and the manufacture of synthetic milk using urea, detergents and formalin.
In Pune, FDA raids seized suspected adulterated khoya, paneer, cheese analogue and ghee worth ₹47.36 lakh, with 35 samples sent for laboratory testing.
The food being delivered to your home for your kids can be sitting in a warehouse where cockroaches and rodents have access to it or might even be chemical food.
This is why what Tukaram Mundhe is doing matters.
But Mundhe is doing what Mundhe does best.
This 2005-batch Indian Administrative Service officer of the Maharashtra cadre, widely known as a strict, fearless and anti-corruption bureaucrat, is often dubbed a real-life “Singham”. This is a testament to his rigid adherence to rules, zero-tolerance approach to corruption and willingness to confront the system. But he has paid a big price.
Mundhe has been transferred 25 times in 21 years of service.
And there is now an apprehension that he might be muzzled once again.
Because the pushback has begun.
The courts have questioned the proportionality and procedure of some of the FDA’s actions. The Bombay High Court recently criticised the FDA over action against Cadila Pharmaceuticals, observing that it had effectively used a “sword to kill a mosquito” after the agency seized medicines worth ₹2.4 crore without prior notice. The FDA subsequently agreed to withdraw its orders and issue show-cause notices, allowing the company an opportunity to be heard.
In another case, the Bombay High Court directed the FDA to pay ₹5 lakh to a Pune dairy and sweet shop after its licence remained suspended despite the establishment subsequently achieving 98% compliance with food-safety requirements.
The courts are right to insist that regulators follow due process.
But here is the question the rest of us must ask:
Does due process mean going soft on food-safety violations?
Mundhe should not be above the law. But neither should the food industry. Don’t curb the man because he has had the temerity to enforce the law.
Instead, stand up for him because he is standing up for us.
