Another bombshell from THE INDIAN EXPRESS on the Modi govt's social media crackdown.🚨
Between March and July 2026 nearly 1.95 lakh blocking orders were sent to Instagram, Facebook and YouTube — around 1275 per day.
This Government is so afraid of criticism that it keeps trying to silence the internet.
The ECI’s clarification yesterday raises more questions than it answers.
If Form 6 is a statutory form prescribed under the Registration of Electors Rules, 1960, how can an additional mandatory declaration be introduced through an online portal without amending those Rules?
Also crucial questions remain unanswered:
Were the reported objections of two Election Commissioners to this change true? If so, how were the objections resolved, and was the Commission’s own prescribed decision-making procedure followed?
More importantly, what about citizens who could not even submit Form 6 online because they could not furnish the additional declaration?
And what of orphans, adopted persons, migrant workers, displaced persons and others who may genuinely have no reliable access to their family’s electoral history? Their inability to furnish historical particulars cannot become a barrier to their right to enrol.
The ECI must answer these questions transparently. The right to enrol cannot become hostage to an online condition whose legal basis remains disputed.

पिछले साल राहुल गांधी ने अपनी प्रेस कॉन्फ्रेंस में दावा किया कि राजुरा, महाराष्ट्र में 6800 फर्जी वोट जोड़े गए।
BBC ने इसकी पड़ताल की और पाया कि यह सही है। इसे लेकर जो FIR हुई उसपर कोई कार्रवाई नहीं हुई।
शाही मस्जिद के पेश इमाम से सुनिए मस्जिद 600 से ज्यादा साल पुरानी है।
प्रशासन इसे तोड़ने की मनसा रखता है जबकि मस्जिद के काग़ज़ भी है और आजादी से पहले के कागज़ात है।

One more death from a loud DJ music? Just a few days ago, a 7yr-old girl died after collapsing in her classroom while a loud DJ procession was passing by her school in UP.
Why is @Meta cracking down on reels demanding the resignation of Gyanesh Kumar?
Hundreds of such videos are reportedly being taken down, and several accounts have also been banned on the request of the BJP Government.
This is violation of free speech, @Meta.

In this country a Muslim cop can't grow beard, can't use Islamic expressions in conversation but Hindu cops can dance in religious procession without any issue.
First the CEC steals our Votes!
Then Shah's Police denies us our Right to Protest at Jantar Mantar!
We Ask:
For what reason?
By which law?
On whose Orders?
Tomorrow @pbhushan1@_YogendraYadav@nanditanarans@manojkjhadu@nikhilmkss & I will be going to Parliament Street Police Station at 3 PM to submit an intimation letter for a protest at JM on 2nd October.
BREAKING - on 24/12/2025 WBSC Association controlling body for ERO & BLO level officers wrote to @ECISVEEP highlighting Gyanesh & Seema Khanna’s illegal centralised back end deletion of voters bypassing them. @abhishekaitc@Jairam_Ramesh@Cockroachisback
Questions have surfaced around the ECI's apps and software, and the centralisation of electoral roll management to Delhi.
Has the SIR process curtailed the powers of Electoral Registration Officers?

Hundreds of Muslims have gathered in the Indian city of Ujjain to protest the partial demolition of a mosque they say is more than 600 years old.
The BJP-led state government says the action is needed to widen roads ahead of the 2028 Hindu pilgrimage.
Instagram has restricted this cartoon in India.
I am posting the cartoon again, along with the notice I received from Instagram.
According to the notice, access has been restricted in India “pursuant to a notice from the Government of India / Law Enforcement” and based on local laws.
The cartoon is still visible outside India.
A cartoon about the Election Commission has been stopped from being seen by Indians. When satire gets censored, perhaps the cartoon has made its point. 🇮🇳
