Modi, as PM, is an embarrassment to India.

Never has this country seen a bigger coward and bully.

#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.

Dear Prime Minister Ambani,

Please accept my humble apologies for not realizing that you are the real boss of India.

Naturally, you would prefer to maintain your monopolistic exploitation of the great people of India, but would you nonetheless consider allowing Starlink to compete?

There are many areas of India, as there are in all countries, with no Internet access, which denies children the opportunity for education and for small businesses the opportunity to sell their goods to a global market. Starlink would change their lives for the better.

Thank you 🙏

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Starlink is licensed in over 165 countries and has spent five years complying with every single law and requirement of the government of India, so why still no license?

Is Ambani the real boss of India?

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Thank you, Rahul.

This is indeed troubling.

My salute to the Indian pilot Captain Smit Machchhar for his extraordinary bravery.

Despite being stabbed and seriously injured, he fought back, resisted, opened the cockpit door, and enabled passengers and crew to overpower the attacker — preventing a catastrophic mid-air disaster.

He saved the lives of 174 people, including Israeli citizens and other nationals.

I wish Captain Machchhar a speedy and full recovery.

He is a true hero.

Let’s cut through the noise and talk facts, once again: I have never met or known Disha Salian.
Linking my name to this tragic case constantly is a deliberate, evidence-free attempt at character assassination by a few individuals with clear political and personal motives, for almost 6 years.

The relentless smear campaign run by vested interests without a single shred of evidence and truth is highly unfortunate. Loud TV debates and media trials do not change the facts.
Let the official re-investigation proceed without malicious distractions and character assassination for political motives.

Once again, for those few, thinking that such malicious attempts being used politically, will hold us back from fighting for the truth, and for fellow citizens, is a failed strategy. We always will, stand by the truth, and fight for it.

अफवांचा धुरळा उडवणं बंद करण्यासाठी पुन्हा एकदा फक्त आणि फक्त तथ्य सांगतो!

मी दिशा सालियन ह्यांना कधीही भेटलेलो नाही किंवा त्यांच्याशी माझी ओळखही नव्हती.
राजकीय हेतूने, वैयक्तिक द्वेषापायी, चारित्र्यहनन करण्याच्या हेतूने काही लोकांकडून गेल्या ६ वर्षांपासून वारंवार ह्या दुर्दैवी घटनेशी कुठलाही पुरावा वा संबंध नसतानाही माझं नाव जोडण्याचा हेतुपुरस्सर प्रयत्न सुरु आहे.

कुठलंही तथ्य आणि सत्य नसलेलं हे सततचं खोटं कॅंपेन दुर्दैवी आहे. बोंबाबोंब करुन केल्या जाणाऱ्या टिव्ही चॅनल्सवरच्या खोट्या चर्चा आणि मिडिया ट्रायल्स सत्य बदलू शकत नाहीत.
अधिकृत यंत्रणांना कुठल्याही व्यत्ययाशिवाय, राजकीय हस्तक्षेपाशिवाय, चारित्र्यहननाशिवाय आणि निःपक्षपातीपणे पुन्हा एकदा नव्याने ही चौकशी करु द्या.

परत ��कदा सांगतो, ज्यांना वाटत असेल की अश्या चारित्र्यहननाच्या आणि खोट्या प्रचाराच्या मार्गाने तुम्ही आम्हाला शांत बसवू शकाल तर तो तुमचा भ्रम आहे.

सत्यासाठी, अन्यायाविरुद्ध, देशवासीयांना सोबत घेऊन आमचा लढा सुरुच राहील!

[Tukaram Mundhe @Tukaram_IndIAS]

The most expensive part of a hospital bill may never touch the hospital at all.

A patient admitted for care has no way of knowing whether the price on a medical consumable reflects its actual cost or a markup fixed long before it ever reached the ward. That gap in information is, at its core, a public health issue.

A survey of hospital consumables in Maharashtra found an IV infusion set with a trade price of ₹11.05 carrying a printed MRP of ₹325 ; a markup of 2,841%. A syringe procured at ₹6.75 carried an MRP of ₹57.20. A catheter procured at ₹29.41 carried an MRP of ₹310.

These are not elective purchases. Patients cannot compare prices, seek alternatives, or question a number printed on a box while receiving care and the MRP itself is often fixed upstream by manufacturers and distributors, disconnected from the trade price by a wide, unexplained margin. The result is a system where the party bearing the cost has the least information to evaluate it.

The regulatory gap is structural: scheduled medicines are capped under the Drugs (Prices Control) Order, 2013. Most medical devices and consumables are not leaving both the pricing and the information around it almost entirely unmonitored.

A review of these findings and clear guidelines on the permissible gap between trade procurement price and declared MRP have been recommended to the Department of Pharmaceuticals and the NPPA ; a step toward closing not just a pricing gap, but the information gap patients are left to bear alone.

Grazie, caro @narendramodi, per le tue parole e per la tua amicizia.
Il rapporto tra Italia e India è oggi più forte che mai 🇮🇹🇮🇳

Il Partenariato Strategico Speciale che abbiamo lanciato durante il nostro ultimo incontro è il riconoscimento dell’importanza di questo legame e della volontà di unire le competenze delle nostre Nazioni per creare nuove occasioni di crescita, cogliendo le straordinarie opportunità di collaborazione che abbiamo davanti a noi.

Sono certa che Italia e India, insieme, continueranno a rafforzare anche il legame tra i nostri Continenti, lavorando fianco a fianco anche per sviluppare il Corridoio economico India-Medio Oriente-Europa.

मुख्यमंत्री @Dev_Fadnavis जी,

महाराष्ट्र के अनेक आदिवासी छात्र 10 दिनों से अधिक से अपने अधिकारों के लिए भूख हड़ताल पर हैं।

पुणे में 'छात्रों की गूंज' के दौरान छात्राओं ने बताया कि छात्रावासों में 30 वर्ष की अनावश्यक उम्र सीमा, अपमानजनक नियम, असुरक्षित सुविधाएं और महिलाओं के लिए गर्भावस्था जांच जैसे अमानवीय प्रावधान लागू हैं।

सुदूर गांवों-क���्बों से आने वाले ये छात्र कोई दान नहीं, अपना अधिकार मांग रहे हैं। अपेक्षा है कि आप उनसे व्यक्तिगत रूप से मिलकर उनकी समस्याओं का तत्काल समाधान करेंगे।

@Swiggy I ordered Veg Nikku Singh Burger × 3 from Burger Singh, but received non-veg chicken burgers instead.

My Swiggy order clearly shows the veg burgers, while the restaurant’s receipt says “2pcs Chicken Kurkure Burger” and the packaging is marked “NON-VEG.”
