“We asked for make in India”
“You gave us leak in India”
Surprisingly well organised at jantar mantar. Extremely cordial cops. Permission granted to Dipke. Chants of “godi media hay hay” and “Bharat mata ki jai” by the 100 odd people at this point.

but they claimed cjp has 94% pakistani followers🤪🤪

‘Itni dalaal media duniya main kahin nahin hogi jitni bharat main hai…’

Have to listen to this lady describe how some in the media are covering this protest. What sort of questions they are asking. Brilliant byte by @anmolpritamND @nlhindi

[Parth MN @parthpunter]

The Cockroach Janta party is a bit like a temperature check that has quantified public anger against Modi government.

It was traditionally the job of the media to echo public sentiment. But they're now in the business of criminalising dissent.

At a time political opposition has been systematically weakened, media is bought and institutions are compromised, it is quite creditable to mount a protest in any form.

The CJP has rallied around an extremely important issue of educational corruption, which concerns a range of young people in India.

Many common people that I've spoken to are kinda surprised with the response to CJP but it has also emboldened them to express dissent.

And that counts for something.

Have been writing this for a while, but worth reiteration:

Maharashtra is the country’s most polarised, dangerous communal tinderbox right now.

These visuals you see are a result of a careful, orchestrated campaign, led by BJP leaders.

IMPORTANT: Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh (Dera Sacha Sauda chief) granted parole once again, this time for 30 days. It’s the 16th time he has been out on parole since his conviction in August 2017.
He is serving a 20-year sentence for rape. Meanwhile likes of Umar Khaled have stayed in jail for almost 6 years without even a trial commencing. Yeh hai JUSTICE system: Wonder what our Lordships would pontificate on next! 🙏

जब मोदी जी इटली में टॉफी खिलाते हुए reels बना रहे थे - पेपर लीक से त्रस्त भारत के युवा सड़कों पर न्याय मांग रहे थे।

क्योंकि NEET Paper Leak ने लाखों छात्रों का भविष्य बर्बाद कर दिया। कई बच्चों ने तो अपनी जान तक गंवा दी।

और मोदी जी ने न ज़िम्मेदारी ली, न धर्मेंद्र प्रधान को हटाया, न एक शब्द कहा।

अब जब छात्र, NSUI और INC के कार्यकर्ता न्याय की आवाज़ उठा रहे हैं - BJP की प्रदेश सरकारें उन पर लाठियाँ बरसा रही हैं।

जो सरकार छात्रों के सवालों का जवाब लाठी से देती है, वो जवाबदेही से नहीं - डर से चलती है।

पर हम डरने वाले नहीं हैं।

हम तब तक नहीं रुकेंगे जब तक धर्मेंद्र प्रधान इस्तीफ़ा नहीं देते और देश में पेपर लीक रोकने के लिए एक मज़बूत और सुरक्षित सिस्टम नहीं बनता।

यह लड़ाई हर उस छात्र के लिए है जिसका भविष्य इस नाकाम सरकार ने चुराया।

This is a classic example of Conflict of Interest .
I have taught conflict of interest in many govt. training institutions .

Same govt that didn’t even stand by Iran when it was getting bombed btw

[Sandeep Manudhane @sandeep_PT]

Iran is speaking up for India, against Trump's ugly jibes. But Modi govt is dead silent. No concept of diplomatic redlines at all. Total subjugation.

Hello @narendramodi ji your Phraand Trump just called India a “hell hole” and all Indians “gangsters with laptops”. Are you going to protest or are you just going to Khi Khi your way to your next poll rally in Bengal?

[Manish Tewari @ManishTewari]

There is some part of the human anatomy that seems to have gone missing in that response. 👇

At least have the gumption to stand up and say we are a 5000 year old civilisational continuum and not a hell hole .

How difficult is it say that ?

[Gilles Verniers @GillesVerniers]

I cannot think of another instance where a functioning election body covered itself with such shame.

talking about women empowerment when that entire party is full of rapists you genuinely can’t make this up

Hardeep Puri was the Vice President of the organization that Jeffrey Epstein used to lure young girls.

How is this man still holding his ministerial position?

Start with apologising the athletes who fought for justice and you stripped them of dignity on roads, nakedly paraded w of Manipur, all the sexual assault victims of your party members.
Let alone being a Prime Minister, you’re a pathetic vile human.

[Mohammed Zubair @zoo_bear]

Will PM Modi address the nation at 8:30 P.M about current situation in Manipur.
