What a clip it is, ceremonial parade Dec 2018. I am the one drawing out the Sword, after having taken command of the parade and entering the Parade Ground.
Many of us having come back from the brink of disenfranchisement, the mindless SIR process has created deepest apprehensions in the minds of citizens. And now this dissension within the ECI! What does all this mean?
The Election Commission of India is under fire like never before.
The SIR has struck 13 crore names off draft rolls, putting the EC at the centre of intense public debate over its role in deciding who gets to vote — and who doesn’t.
HOWEVER, what nobody knew: through that same period, some of the sharpest questions were being asked from inside.
Out today, after months of work. Our #ExpressInvestigation 🧵

No, Mr. President. We should not “annihilate” the people of Iran.
That is a war crime. That is barbarism. And it is something the United States must never be associated with.
Let’s be clear: Trump’s war in Iran is illegal and unconstitutional. Congress must end it NOW.
Vote chori is a crime against the Indian people and a direct attack on our constitution.
The BJP, RSS and EC who organised it have committed an act of treason.
Justice will be served.
Interesting day to get a notice the entire family seems to have failed SIR!
Also the local official says that Passport plus PAN plus Adhaar is still not sufficient to prove that we can vote. He says other documents will be required - such as school leaving certificates!
Is this common? I’m not sure how most people will get through this process.
In a true democracy the courts would take suo motu notice of the exposé in @IndianExpress about the way the Election Commission of India is being run and would have stopped the #SIR till such time the objections raised by the two election commissioners were not clarified.
Most middle class people say this is taxation without representation. Even if they have Aadhaar cards, PAN cards &
Passports they still don’t have a right to vote.
The fact that so many of us have received notices from the EC proves that the govt & its stooges believe that when it comes to robbing us blind with taxes the government regards us as Indians
But when it comes to choosing politicians at elections we are foreigners until we prove otherwise.
And then passports, PAN cards & Aadhar cards are suddenly not enough to prove we are Indian.
The BJP is right to be upset. A smart leader like the PM knows that politicians should expect to be attacked. But when they become figures of fun and are regularly lampooned it becomes much more difficult to recover
It’s taken Rahul Gandhi a decade to win back his stature & credibility
Narendra Modi knows that jokes are the Opposition’s most powerful weapon

Two grown ass men on high chairs and the woman seated on the ground. This shithole country will never become any super power or whatever the government keeps chest thumping about, unless we have these troglodyte generation and it's enablers wiped off. India needs a rationalist, atheist revolution.
@shilpa_cn Let your immortal voice remind us about your short life and times - heard this 6 years late . Remain eternally in soulful melody and music in Heaven. 💐🙏
SAVE TRIBAL KIDS OF BALAGHAT
I am still in Balaghat, meeting the families of the KIDS who have died.
What I am hearing from locals is deeply disturbing. They say the actual number of deaths is much higher than what is being officially reported (36).
86 children have been hospitalised recently after the tribals’ protest.
I have also been told that children are being cremated without postmortems, and in some cases, even in absence of parents. SDM is the one who is behind all this.
These children could’ve been saved had they received treatment on time.
Is this a responsible way, and why did the local military authority not interject as it also investigating this incident- why show these weapons and equipment @IaSouthern@dprohyd
Democracy is the rule of the majority, but majoritarianism, where the voice of the other side is not heard, is anathema to democracy. Unfortunately, courts at all levels are moving towards majoritarianism.
