Meet B. Srilatha

> Junior assistant working in the Revenue/Tax wing at Borabanda, Hyderabad
> She was caught accepting a bribe of 1 lakh
> She had demanded 5 lakhs in total for issuing house construction permission
> Money was recovered
> Police have arrested her and investigation is ongoing

Why are so many officials corrupt in our country?

Imagine how much money she must be making if she takes 5 lakhs to issue permission for one house.

Will she lose her job or get a transfer and promotion?

@Tejasvi_Surya You now don't twist the statements dear kid @Tejasvi_Surya
Come and give an unconditional apology to our state and our martyrs

[H Shashanth @HShashanth]

Hon’ble Speaker @ombirlakota ji, I state clearly: this is not a request for consideration. You must intervene and expunge Shri Tejasvi Surya’s remarks comparing Telangana’s formation to the Partition from parliamentary records without delay.
#JaiTelangana

[Roshan Rai @RoshanKrRaii]

Tejasvi Surya has damaged BJP beyond repair in Telangana with just one speech.

Huge anger in the state, people are literally out on the streets.

What is interesting is ANI, which generally ignores such protests against BJP leaders , is covering it and giving full attention 😉

It seems their payment is delayed.

[H Shashanth @HShashanth]

@Tejasvi_Surya comparing Telangana’s birth to the Partition is disgusting & ignorant Partition was a colonial tragedy.
Telangana was a democratic victory earned through decades of struggle & martyrs’ sacrifice. Withdraw ur remark & apologise to 4 crore Telanganites #JaiTelangana

[H Shashanth @HShashanth]

Shameful, @Tejasvi_Surya Telangana wasn’t born from Partition’s bloodbath. It was born from decades of people’s struggle and sacrifice. Don’t insult our martyrs. Withdraw and apologise unconditionally.
#JaiTelangana

[H Shashanth @HShashanth]

@Tejasvi_Surya , you’ve wounded Telangana’s soul. Our state was forged by sacrifice, not by Partition’s horrors. This insults our martyrs and self-respect. Take back your words and apologise to Telangana now.

Congress party unequivocally supports Women’s Reservation. Parliament unanimously passed the bill in 2023, it is already part of our Constitution.

What the government is proposing now has nothing to do with women’s reservation. This amendment is an attempted power grab using delimitation and gerrymandering.

We will not allow ‘Hissa Chori’ from OBC, Dalit and Adivasi communities by ignoring the caste census data. We will also not allow Southern, North Eastern, North Western and smaller states to be treated unfairly.

[Ankit Mayank @mr_mayank]

BREAKING : Rahul Gandhi launched surgical strike against delimitation

“We will not allow Southern, North Eastern, North Western & smaller states to be treated unfairly” 🔥

Farms laws, caste census & now this. Mark my words, RaGa will force Modi to take U-Turn again 🫡

[Rahul Gandhi @RahulGandhi]

One of the BJP's dangerous plans is to “gerrymander” all Lok Sabha seats to its advantage for the 2029 elections

The proposed Bills remove all Constitutional safeguards on delimitation, giving full power to the Delimitation Commission which the govt itself will appoint and direct.

We have seen how BJP does this - it hijacked delimitation in Assam and Jammu and Kashmir, where it split up anti-BJP regions and communities for electoral advantage. As a result,
- some seats have 25 lakh voters, while some have only 8 lakh
- some seats have 12 Vidhan Sabha segments, while some have only 6
- ⁠some seats are broken into pieces without connection, sometimes divided by rivers or mountains

Having captured the Election Commission, PM Modi is confident that he can capture the Delimitation Commission too. The Congress will not allow this to happen.

Delimitation should be based on a transparent policy framework, developed after wide consultations with a consensus. Indians of all communities and States should feel confident that they will be represented and their voices will be heard.

This is the only way forward to protect and strengthen our democracy.

That's the notice. Pls read the 2nd paragraph in the 12th page.

Public Interest:
A practising paediatrician commenting on products sold alongside ORS in the pharmacies , which may be purchased by caregivers of sick children, is exercising her professional duty and constitutional right to free speech on a matter of Public health. This is squarely within the 'fair comment' exception to defamation under Indian law.
Saying that a doctor doesn't have the expertise to understand the regulatory framework and the scientific risk assessment is condescending and irrelevant. A law firm telling a practicing paediatrician that she lacks the expertise to comment on whether a product marketed in the health care space is safe for children! A practicing paediatrician has every professional and ethical obligation to voice concerns about products that may be confused with therapeutic agents at the point of sale, particularly in the pharmacies.

On FSSAI orders
The FSSAI's October 14th and 15th 2025 orders confirm the regulatory concern that the original ORSL branding was misleading. This criticism predated and was vindicated by the regulators own action. The rebranding to ERZL and the re-stickering process(old ORSL packs with ERZL stickers pasted over them!) is itself a ground-level consumer confusion issue that a healthcare professional is entitled to document and report.
The notice repeatedly cites the Delhi High Court's November 12, 2025 order stating the product is "not adulterated or unsafe for use". This is a weak argument. My criticism (from what the notice itself reproduces) was about the misbranding and not that the liquid inside was adulterated.

On Sucralose
The WHO'S 2023 guideline on non-sugar sweeteners is a legitimate peer-reviewed, systematic-review-based recommendation from world's apex health body. Citing it is not "unscientific ". The EFSA 2026 affirmation pertains to currently authorized uses and ADOIlevels-it does not contradict the WHO'S broader conditional recommendation regarding long-term metabolic effects. Science involves ongoing debate;characterizing a doctor's reference to WHO guidelines as "malicious" is itself a misrepresentation.
The notice cherry picks regulatory approvals(FSSAI, Codex, FDA, and the February EFSA reaffirmation) while completely ignoring the WHO'S own 2023 guidelines conditionally recommending against the use of non-sugar sweeteners (including Sucralose) for weight control and flagging potential long term risks including type 2 Diabetes and cardiovascular disease with long term use. The WHO guidelines explicitly state that this applies to everyone except those with pre existing diabetes.

On Trademark
Nominative fair use permits naming a product for purposes of criticism, commentary, or review. No authorization is required to discuss a commercially available product in a non-commercial, public -interest context.

On the demands
The demands to take down all posts, provide a list for corporate review, and refrain from future commentary amount to prior restraint of speech- something Indian constitutional law views with deep suspicion. The Supreme Court of India has held that prior restraint on speech is permissible only in the narrowest of circumstances.

Implicit Threat
The notice should be recognized for what it is- a corporate attempt to silence a health care professional using litigation costs as a weapon. The doctor reserves her own right to bring this notice to public attention as an example of corporate intimidation of health advocates and to seek appropriate legal remedies if harassment continues

'Commercial benefit' accusation?!
This is an outrageous accusation that some one who is striving hard for public health advocacy has commercial motives! So, any doctor, who gains a following for evidence based health communication is commercially motivated and should be silenced?! The party actually benefitting commercially from the product is the company Kenvue/J&J!

[Dr.Sivaranjini @dr_sivaranjani]

How dare you send me a notice @jnjhealthequity @kenvue that I am maligning the names of ORSL and ERZL for my own commercial benefits and for increasing the number of followers for my page, and that you will drag me to the court?!
My stance is predated and vindicated by the FSSAI order of October 14th and 15th. Delhi High Court clearly refused to give a stay.
Saying ERZL is the new form of ORSL is a clear violation of the ban order and is misleading those people who still believe ORSL is ORS.
Your notice is being processed by our lawyers and they will deal with it.

[Nalini Unagar @NalinisKitchen]

This is Dr. Sivaranjini Santosh. She fought an 8-year-long battle to raise issues about the misuse of the name ORS (a medical product used for dehydration) in many sugary products.

- The court banned all products that do not using WHO recommended formula but still use the term ORS.
- The company went to court to sell its existing stock. The court initially gave permission, but after social media outrage, it refused.
- The company has now rebranded those products from ORSL to ERZL.
- Dr. Sivaranjini also raised concerns about these newly marketed products, saying they are misleading people.

Now the company has sent her a legal notice, claiming she is making false, misleading, and defamatory remarks about their products.

This is how voices are suppressed with legal pressure.

WOWOWOW.

[Hate Detector 🔍 @HateDetectors]

Hyderabad-based paediatrician Sivaranjani Santosh, whose eight-year battle led to a key regulatory shift on ORS labelling, is now facing legal trouble after pharma majors issued a notice accusing her of making false, misleading, disparaging and defamatory remarks about their products.

The development comes after the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), in an order issued in October 2025, stated that no food brand may use the term ‘Oral Rehydration Salts’ or ‘ORS’ unless the formulation strictly adheres to standards recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO).

A cease and desist notice dated March 16 alleges that Dr. Santosh made defamatory statements on social media about products, including ORSL and its rebranded version ERZL.

The notice states that the companies are science-based and compliant with the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, and asserts that their claims are backed by scientific evidence and regulatory approvals. Referring to ongoing regulatory and legal developments, the notice cites proceedings before the Delhi High Court, stating that the court had observed that the products in question were ‘not adulterated or unsafe for use’ and that the dispute was limited to branding aspects.

The notice denies claims that erstwhile ORSL products continue to be sold or that ERZL is being marketed as an ORS substitute, stating that distributors have been instructed to return or relabel older stock in compliance with FSSAI directions.

The companies have demanded that Dr. Santosh immediately remove all allegedly defamatory posts, refrain from making further statements against them or their products, and avoid unauthorised use of their trademarks.

Responding through her Instagram page, Dr. Sivaranjani defended her position and questioned the legal notice. She said her position was consistent with and supported by the FSSAI orders issued on October 14 and 15, 2025 and added that the Delhi High Court had refused to grant a stay. She argued that presenting ERZL as a new form of ORSL would violate the regulatory directive and could confuse parents who previously associated ORSL with ORS.
