Naseeruddin Shah on Modi’s Fake Tears and Bogus Medals

[Sheikh Imran @imrankehwah]

Punishing an entire family for one person's actions isn't justice—it’s state-sponsored tyranny. Bulldozing innocent homes destroys humanity, not crime. Kashmir demands real law, not collective cruelty. Stop weaponizing justice! ✊

Pellets guns are now not limited to kashmir only now whole india is witnessing “LIMITED DAMAGE” caused by them
@ajaydevgn

[The DeshBhakt 🇮🇳 @TheDeshBhakt]

Dark days indeed for India.
@ajaydevgn's upcoming film 'Chauhan' described blinding injuries caused by pellet guns in Kashmir - as 'limited damage'.
People cheered - another Dhurandar in the making!
Now students in Delhi are seeing the devastating impact of pellet guns - RAF just brought the Kashmir experience into the MIDDLE of the national capital.
Bootlicking sarkari trolls harassed @the_hindu's @vijaita after she tweeted the newsbreak. Asked her to delete this report - such depravity was hard to believe.
@DelhiPolice even cleverly issued an official denial (yes it was never the DP - it was RAF that fired - the report said it clearly - but RAF works under the command of DP)
Instead of backing down @ButaniAshna has now found ANOTHER victim of pellet gun injury...a 19 year old Sahil who now has 1% chance of regaining his right eye vision.

Atleast we can now say that the Modi Govt dosent discriminate between Kashmir and Delhi....

[Office of Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi @Office_ASRM]

One gunman killed a Kashmiri policeman. So the state has detained 2,500+ Kashmiris.

We are watching 2,500+ young men picked up in 24 hours under a phrase, "detained for questioning", that appears in no statute and carries no safeguard.

And in the night, two homes were blown up.

One of them had been demolished last year, rebuilt, and lived in for barely a few months.

The Supreme Court has held punitive demolition without due process unconstitutional.

“I think a large part of this Bollywood caving in has got to do with fear.”

Indian journalist @SreenivasanJain and @mehdirhasan discuss why Bollywood stars are spineless when it comes to standing up to Modi.

Frustrated NDTV reporter forgot to switch off the mic on Marya Shakil's show and said “Pahle kahenge update do.. update do.. fir fake news chalwa ke kahenge fake kyu diya”

By the time he realized it was too late. 🥲

It is very unfortunate that an Indian Ministry has to resort to cheap abuse tactics, threats and harassment, instead of proving me wrong.

The Government, through the National Commission for Homeopathy HAS THREATENED ME WITH CIVIL AND CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS if I do not apologize for calling out Homeopathy as quackery/ fraud and delete my content on Homeopathy.

This is also the SAME Government who taxes me and other citizens like me, to FUND HOMEOPATHY and pay salary of these people in Homeopathy Public Institutes who have written this atrocious letter to me.

Dear @ForHomeopathy @moayush @secymoayush
Please find your conditions and my responses below, in public:

National Council for Homeopathy says: Therefore, for the first and last time, you are hereby called upon to:

i. Remove/Delete all the content uploaded by you on every Social Media Platforms which criticizes the Homeopathy Medicine or any other alternative medicine

My response: No I will not. My content are factual and science based. It follows Article 51A(h) of the Indian Constitution which outlines one of the Fundamental Duties for every citizen - "to develop the scientific temper, humanism and the spirit of inquiry and reform." In this regard, my content is based on my Constitutional Rights and against an pseudoscientific and unscientific practice like Homeopathy and is fully backed by evidence and facts. If you can prove all of those evidences wrong, I will remove all of my content on Homeopathy.

Homeopathy has been called many things before and I have only borrowed what has been highlighted in public domain and medical literature. Some of the sources for my online content is given below for your reference:

Homeopathy is pseudoscience: https://t.co/KKF1UZqrmu
Homeopathy is fraud and quackery: https://t.co/ehx1a7CsC9
Homeopathy is unscientific: https://t.co/dcrUlnqkFf
Homeopathy is witchcraft: https://t.co/rYbblwI5pC and https://t.co/8j53wwXIkv
If you can remove these sources, I will remove my content.

ii. Stop making, circulating or disseminating any further derogatory, defamatory remarks in future against Homeopathy and its practitioners

My Response: I cannot guarantee this. As doctors and scientists, it is our right to correct healthcare misinformation. Any further publicizing of unverified claims from the Homeopathy community - whether the Ministry, the practitioners or the industry, will be dealt with strong and aggressive corrective measures from the scientific community including me. For me to stop doing this, Homeopathy practitioners must stop claiming benefits of therapy and stop making misleading content online. Homeopathy community must keep quite and disappear to a corner, and then the scientific community will keep quite and let you be invisible in that corner. Homeopathy graduates on Instagram and Facebook keep creating content that they can cure cancer, treat chronic skin disorders, mental health conditions, diabetes and thyroid diseases and autoimmune conditions. First, ask them to stop that - then come to lecture me.

iii. Issue a public apology and clarification, through the same platforms on which the offending posts were uploaded, acknowledging deep regret for the use of defamatory expressions

My Response: First, The National Commission for Homeopathy and the Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy, Ministry of AYUSH, New Delhi, India MUST issue a issue a public apology and clarification, through all social media platforms , acknowledging deep regret for wasting public money on a fraudulent Homeopathy study which was RETRACTED for scientific fraud. See here: https://t.co/oDTf9JE58B and here https://t.co/bkgffy9VA9. Once your apology is in place, then I may consider an apology, after you prove me wrong, like I proved the scientific fraud in your retracted Homeopathy paper. It was a national disgrace.

iv. Furnish a written undertaking that you shall refrain from repeating such acts in future.

My Response: I am sorry, I wont be able to do that - because as a clinical doctor and medical scientist and medical teacher in India, as long as Article 51A(h) of the Indian Constitution is alive, I will repeat my education on unscientific practices for the benefit of the public.

This is my first and last time, calling upon the National Commission for Homeopathy and the Homeopathy community:

i. Refrain from sending me these hollow threats, first prove me wrong on all my points raised in my contents online (example: why is cockroach used to treat asthma - what is the pathogenetic basis and pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of it)

ii. Prove to the public that Homeopathy is not a pseudoscience or quackery by removing the original sources I have used to describe Homeopathy (links above) and all such sources which I will use in the future.

iii. Apologize to the Indian public PUBLICLY for wasting public funds that are used to publish scientific fraud

iv. PROVIDE A RESPONSE TO OUR PUBLIC INTEREST LITIGATION IN THE SUPREME COURT'S ORDER TO YOU - https://t.co/9Q4XYG7JrM - about why Homeopathy was used on population level scale that led to harm to public, wasting public money.

v: Send me an apology letter for wasting my time which could have been used to diagnose and treat patients at my place of work.

Do not try to gag voices that improve scientific temperament in this country, because you are anyway not doing anything to promote science in India.

🇮🇳 The 'half-widows' of Indian-administered Kashmir

In Indian-administered Kashmir, the wives of missing men are known as "half-widows" -- unable to mourn fully until they know their husbands are dead.

[Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor]

Bulldozing 38 out of 40 buildings of Mohd Ali Jauhar University, in a state with a dearth of quality institutions of higher education, is a perverse decision. If construction was illegal, find other punishments — fines, other punitive measures, even government takeover — but do not destroy a functioning University that UP needs!

[Dr Mohammad Momin Khan @DrMohammadMomin]

Sincerely thank @JmuKmrPolice, @BaramullaPolice,@hussain_imtiyaz Sb & @DCBaramulla especially the SHO Sb Baramulla and all police officials for the prompt registration of FIR No. 0105 in connection with the alleged assault on doctors and paramedical staff at GMC Baramulla

[🍉gimo @gimoxtweet]

The CJP protest exists only because Hindus are affected. If it were really about students or education, it would've started long ago. In December 2025, Hindus forcefully shut down a medical college in Kashmir simply because 42 of its 50 students were Muslim.

[KOH-E-MAHRAN @KoshurAwaaz]

Our daughters & sisters R being harassed in broad daylight, yet many choose to stay silent. Silence only emboldens such people. Respect to the man who stood up instead of looking away. We need action not excuses @JmuKmrPolice @Womenactivismjk @IltijaMufti_
#ZeroTolerance

[Rumuz E Bekhudi @CallMeIneffable]

We Kashmiri's were known for courage and bravery but now we are witnessing our sisters being harassed by these people day in and out and we simply walk away with it. Mad respect to this man for not being a mute spectator.

[Aditya Gupta @DrAditya2935]

Private college like Manipal with amazing facilities has a fees of 70L, even John’s Hopkins fees is 2 Crores (again private and for profit) and a GMC in Timbuktu with no labs and dysfunctional hostels is spending 2 Crore.

Yeh chooran kisi aur ko btao.

Kya sahi brainwash kiya govt ne - to shift the onus from themselves for building good hospitals onto doctors by repeating this lie a thousand times - that they spend crores.

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

Insha Malik was 14-years-old when shotgun pellets fired by Indian forces blinded her in Kashmir.

Years later, she is speaking out against a Bollywood film she says downplays the devastating impact of pellet guns.

Remember this GMC Baramulla JR exam?
One of the most unusual rank jumps was by Samah SHAHDHAR, who ranked 530th among 574 in the SKIMS JR exam and then got Rank 3 in the GMC-B JR exam just 20 days later.

She is related (reportedly a niece) to Principal GMC-B, Dr. Majid SHAHDHAR.

[Aditya Gupta @DrAditya2935]

Don’t understand the need for increase in MBBS seats.

We have achieved the stipulated 1:1000.

India doesn’t suffer from shortage of doctors- it suffers from concentration of them in dense pockets.

Improve infrastructure in Teir 2/3 towns - not just of hospitals but cities in general - would solve the so called shortages.

Anyhow - all this would fall on deaf ears.

Waise bhi Mujhe kya - PG platforms ke toh maze hi hain.
