History made in New Delhi, rules rewritten. For the first time, we have India’s topmost IAS, IFS officers & Chiefs of 3 armed forces reporting to an IPS officer. Cabinet Secy, from being ‘clerk of the cabinet,’ is now ‘clerk’ of this Strategic Planning Group under Doval

the case of @mjakbar indicts the entire industry. while it is indeed for Modi to take action today, let's not make it only about modi. for decades he worked in newsrooms where everyone seems to have known and no one seems to have stood up.

Today, Ganga Activist GD Agrawal died after 111 days of fasting.

All he wanted was a clean and protected Ganga river. Just like every Indian.

Will PM Modi have some shame to act on this now? Or will he continue to fool people with Jumlas.

1% polling in Anantnag today. Just above 3% in Kashmir. If this isn't a lesson, what is.

Tax raid on Raghav Bahl: Editors Guild says motivated searches will undermine media freedom

[Shekhar Gupta @ShekharGupta]

I.T raids on @TheQuint offices and its founder @Raghav_Bahl home are cause for serious concern. Taxman has the right to ask all questions, but raids look like intimidation. If there is justification, govt must explain quickly. Or it will be seen as targeting critical media.

Waded through 10 pages of ads before reaching the cover page of the newspaper. I suppose it means that the real news story is consumption? Wouldn’t it be nice if every paper could at least keep real news on the cover page & we can enter the ‘mall’ after that?

Deeply disturbed and anguished to hear the loss of Prof GD Agarwal who has given his life to save Ganga and environment. The criminal silence of the government is deafening.

RafaleScam goes International! "Why did Mr. Modi renegotiate a deal for 36 fighter jets? Why was a company run by members of one of India’s wealthiest families chosen for the deal, despite having no experience building jets?Why did the price jump so much?" https://t.co/EfRiDhIg21

chief of army contingent during Guj violence makes direct allegations against Modi, confirms all suspicions - I met CM at 2 am on the 1st morning. Troops sat on the airfield all through the 1st of March and we got the transport only on the 2nd of March.

TN University confirms to govt that ABVP man Ankiv Baisoya ('elected' as DUSU Pres) did not study at University whose fake certificate he used for admission to DU. Such talent deficit in ABVP that they can't find a better candidate than this for DUSU President?!

This is the ONLY way one should present the news report when farmers get beaten bruised and fired at on Gandhi Jayanti while the PM is busy placing full page advertisements to congratulate himself for his 'green credentials'

Read: The absurd case made by Pune police against Sudha Bharadwaj, one of our finest Human Rights lawyers and activists. All based on a clearly fabricated letter allegedly written by her. Police is using this fabricated letter only to defame and harass her
