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 🧵
(1/10)
आज की खबर सिर्फ़ यह नहीं कि चुनाव आयुक्तों में SIR को लेकर गंभीर असहमति थी।
बड़ा सवाल यह है कि अगर दोनों चुनाव आयुक्त इन फैसलों को गलत या गैरकानूनी मानते थे, तो उन्हें रोकने के लिए क्या किया? क्या चुपचाप असहमति दर्ज करना पर्याप्त था, या यह भी जवाबदेही का सवाल है?
इस सवाल का पूरा सच अभी सामने आना बाकी है।

Congratulations! The collective struggle has triumphed—a victory of Lok over Tantra.
As we mark this milestone, we reflect on these two crucial lessons and face two pivotal challenges.

A large part of the success of this youth movement which has shaken the ruling establishment, helped shed fear of the government and police, and raised the issue of education reforms in this country, is due to the founder of the Cockroach Janta Party @abhijeet Dipke, its two extraordinary spokesmen @sauravdas and @ashutoshranka, and some of the other extraordinary students like @nehabora who also sat on fast. Of course, the role of Sonam Wangchuk who fasted 26 days and mentored this youth movement has been exemplary. It is due to these extraordinary youth leaders who have a great future in the youth movement of this country, that we have been able to achieve this day. Hats off to all of them. They have led with courage, commitment, fearlessness & above all, great humility. I also salute the lakhs of young people who gathered in Delhi and across the country with patience& non violence, braved enormous hardship, and set a wonderful example of what it is to be a citizen in a diverse multi religious country, our India.
Sonam Wangchuk’s (@Wangchuk66) Gandhian satyagraha awakened an entire nation. Fasting for 26 days for the youth of this country was a pure and supreme sacrifice. It will go down in history as the moral force that united us all against impossible odds.
Words cannot fully express our thanks for your contributions. We love you and are endlessly grateful for your satyagraha.

Gandhi's principles of non-violence and peaceful protest wins again! Huge congratulations to the people of India.
Let’s continue to work together in unity and strive every day to build a greater nation.
Cockroach Janta Party withdraws its nationwide agitation with immediate effect
All demands of the Cockroach Janta Party have been accepted by the government:
1. Maximum possible compensation for families of NEET paper leak-related suicides
2. All FIRs by Central govt and NDA-ruled states will be withdrawn, and no action will be taken against anyone involved in these protests in the future.
3. CJP’s 5-point exam reform charter will be considered by the govt and the CJP will meet with the govt to discuss these reforms further.
If anyone has shown what it means for India to be a Vishwaguru, it is our Gen Z.
They have lived Sanatan Dharma, not preached it. Courage without hate. Strength without violence. Patriotism without blind obedience.
Unlike many of their counterparts across the world, they have shown that you can stand firmly against injustice without burning your own country down.
Maybe it's time the Hindu nationalist party learnt a thing or two from these young Indians about Hinduism, nationalism, and what it truly means to be a Vishwaguru.

IT'S A VICTORY OF DEMOCRACY
direct democracy... straight from the streets.
It's a victory of peace, patience & persévérance.
Congratulations CJP, Gen Z of the nation and thank you all citizens for shedding fear and the fear of fear and rising up from every corner of the nation.
FROM ACCOUNTABILITY, NOW TO REFORMS
🚨FAKE NEWS ALERT!🚨
Hello @DDNewslive, Your Fact Check is False. Stop blindly relying and quoting @DelhiPolice without fact checking it yourself.
Your job is not to put a "FAKE" stamp by blindly and declaring it as "Fake News"..
Here is the full video from yesterday. It took place outside The Imperial on Janpath Road, Connaught Place, Delhi.
We spoke to the protestors present there. We spoke to the the person who shot this video yesterday.
In the video, you can see Delhi Police personnel carrying Baton with nails. In the video you can see Protestors confronting the police officials about the use of batons with nails. The policeman’s name was Vishal Tomar. I am Sharing the metadata ( video 2 and Image 3) as proof. Check the date, Time and place for yourself.

We, the Cockroach Janta Party, thank the Delhi High Court for its favourable verdict today, allowing Sonam Wangchuk Ji to be shifted to Medanta Hospital as per his and his family's choice.
We hope that once he reaches Medanta, he is given unrestricted access to his supporters, doctors, and well-wishers so he can continue guiding our movement for education reform and accountability.
However, our demands do not end here. Sonam Ji has made it clear: he wants to return to Jantar Mantar. Until Sonam Wangchuk Ji is back at Jantar Mantar where he belongs, this cannot be called a victory.
Met the Hon’ble Lok Sabha Speaker today along with MPs of the Opposition.
Our demand is simple: Parliament must have a detailed discussion on the brutality unleashed on students yesterday and on the government’s complete lack of accountability for the examination crisis.
Students were beaten for asking legitimate questions about their own future.
If Parliament cannot discuss the future of India’s youth, what is it for?
The Opposition will not let this be buried. We will ensure that the students’ voice will be heard on the streets, and in Parliament.
