In Kolkata, met prominent journalist Mr. R. Rajagopal, who has been subjected to a terrible ordeal due to the blatantly unconstitutional SIR process - which has led to a denial of his passport renewal.
Mr. Rajagopal’s name has been in the electoral rolls of Kolkata since 2010, but since 2002 was taken as the base year and an inconsequential error in his 10th marksheet, his name was excluded in this SIR.
While the appeal to his exclusion is pending, the passport authorities have rejected his passport renewal - despite him holding a passport since 2005, renewing it in 2015.
The police called him to the police station and demanded seeing his voter ID card, and then withheld his passport renewal without conducting any home visit.
On the one hand, BJP-supported candidates like Mr. Parimal Nathwani get away with glaring errors in their election affidavits, but ordinary citizens like Mr. Rajagopal are punished for minor errors in their 10th marksheets.
This is pure vendetta politics, and he is being targeted because he is a true journalist who writes without fear. They are setting a dangerous precedent - where first they exclude you from the electoral rolls using SIR, and then snatch away your citizenship by denying you important documents one by one.
The poor PDS beneficiaries are also being meted out with similar injustice - where deletion from electoral rolls is leading to denial of ration benefits by the WB State Government.
Mr. Rajapopal is an honest Indian citizen, and denying him his passport renewal is against the Constitution of India.
Entire countries are deleting Google from their governments. Here's what they're replacing it with and how to do the same.
France banned all American tech from 2.5 million government computers. Germany moved 30,000 PCs off Windows. Denmark dumped Microsoft Office. The reason: the US CLOUD Act lets American authorities access your data from any US company anywhere in the world.
Here are the free replacements for every app you use:
“East is East and West is West, but India is Best” is an empty slogan. Nations don’t become great through slogans - they become great through clean streets, quality education, scientific thinking, strong institutions, accountability, and opportunity for all. Real progress speaks for itself.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) is worse than a national disgrace: given its repeated, egregious failure to root out corruption and fraud in the conduct of common entrance examinations, it is a clear and present danger to the well-being, especially the mental health, of millions of young men and women. As The Hindu’s editorial comments: “It would be a crime to allow the NTA to continue with its inept conduct of common entrance exams…NEET [National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test] was introduced as a measure to bring into play a single, standardised, and transparent entrance exam for medical admissions. But the transparency that it has so far shown is of an entirely different kind: leaks and breaches of confidentiality.” https://t.co/GIbzXp91RM
मोदी जी, आप शर्म की बात करते हो? शर्म की बात मैं आपको बताता हूं।
Epstein files में आपका, आपके मंत्री और आपके मित्र का साथ में नाम आना, ऐसे घिनौने अपराधी के साथ आपका नाम जुड़ा होना - ये शर्म की बात है।
आपने अमेरिका के साथ जो Trade deal की है, जिसमें आपने देश को बेच दिया - ये शर्म की बात है।
हमारे देश का डेटा दे दिया।
किसानों को खत्म कर दिया।
टेक्सटाइल इंडस्ट्री बर्बाद कर दिया - ये शर्म की बात है।
पूरा देश जानता है, अडानी पर अमेरिका में चल रहे केस ने आपकी रातों की नींद उड़ा रखी है - क्योंकि वो BJP और आपके फाइनेंशियल आर्किटेक्चर पर केस है। 14 महीनों से उसपर कोई कार्रवाई नहीं हुई - ये शर्म की बात है।
मोदी जी, आप अपने मित्रों अनिल अंबानी, अडानी और अपने लिए जो उचित समझें, वो कीजिए।
मैं और कांग्रेस पार्टी के बब्बर शेर देश की रक्षा करते रहेंगे - एक इंच पीछे नहीं हटेंगे।
Only a teacher who thinks – who reads widely, doubts openly, and reflects deeply – can invite students into that intellectual life. Such teachers do not manufacture obedient learners. They nurture responsible citizens.
