I am the brother of Vedant and I am appalled by seeing how people are calling us Pakistani yes Vedant did not had twitter because he was busy studying instead of tweeting and we made this account for tweeting his genuine issues because we could not apply for reevaluation

Supreme Court just declined a plea against the Adani project in Singrauli because of a "delay" in filing. So now, 6-7 LAKH TREES 🌴 will be chopped down just because of a technical time-limit rule?!
Are we seriously putting bureaucratic deadlines over the life of our planet? No one seems to understand what happens when nature becomes just as reluctant to support us.Our future generations will pay the ultimate price for these bloody, human-made rules. Devastating.

* FIR directed to be registered by the Magistrate on 22 April

* No stay on this order as on date (Delhi HC has, on 20 May, set aside the stay granted by the Revision Court on 4 May). But no FIR yet.

CNN admits it was the US not Israel that killed 150 Iranian school girls on the first day of the war. It was a double tap, they also killed their parents who were trying to rescue them.

• Justice Subramonium Prasad
• Harish Vaidyanathan Shankar

These are the 2 judges of the Delhi High Court who granted bail after suspending the life imprisonment of rapist and former BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar.

Every woman should remember these two faces.

By allowing for the complete destruction of public education in India, the rich assumed they would bypass the outcome of their withdrawal by sending their children abroad. How is the panning out?

A pilot commented on my post that apparently Indigo had reduced salaries of all pilots saying work hours will be less due to guidelines implementation. And now they are going back to older workhours at the same reduced salaries. Man, this company is all kinds of evil.

#CJISuryaKant, who was sworn in as India's 53rd top judge, inherits pending cases, judicial vacancies across constitutional courts and tribunals, and has the task of regaining the public's trust in the institution.

So, this is where India is today. Speaking the language of paranoid autocracies.

[Saurav Das @SauravDassss]

There are Bhima Koregaon accused still languishing in jail for 6 long years now. When Justice Sundresh’s bench is called upon to decide their bail, it does not take the view that it has so quickly taken in this case to grant bail to an ED officer!

Instead, Justice Sundresh gives a date after 3-4 months, like in Surendra Gadling’s case. Call it the jurisprudence of vibe and whim!

In moments like these, silence can be seen as complicity in normalising gender discrimination.

We in the NWMI also think it is unfortunate that the male journalists who attended the event do not appear to have questioned the fact that their female colleagues were excluded from the press conference, with even those who arrived at the venue denied entry.
