16-YEAR-OLD GIRLS TEAR THROUGH GOVT’S “ANTI-NATIONAL” SCRIPT 🔥

REPORTER: What happened here?

KANIKA 😡: We were marching peacefully. Police pushed us, hit us, tore clothes and hurt students. Is this why they have power?

REPORTER: Why did you come?

ANSHIKA 🔥: We skipped school because we care about our future. If fighting for education is wrong, then what is right?

REPORTER: What is your message?

RIYA 🎯: We are 12th-class students. If we stay silent today, this broken system will become our tomorrow. We want education, safety and accountability.

THE MOMENT: These girls did more damage to the “anti-national” narrative than any speech could. They came with school bags and left power exposed.

The most interesting thing about the protest: Almost everybody I spoke to didn't even mention Abhijeet Dipke or CJP or Sonam Wangchuk. All they mentioned was paper leaks, dictatorship and democracy in danger. This protest has taken the form of a huge anti-incumbency protest.

This is the only response this govt is capable of. Brute force.
Dialogue, resolution, responsibility, all this is alien to it.

I went to Jantar Mantar this morning before Lok Sabha. Soon after total internet shut down & brutality started. Any government that attacks non violent student protestors with brute force is on its last legs.

RSS claims it doesn’t seek government funds, so it doesn’t need registration.

Our investigation reveals state-owned ONGC has poured over Rs 670 crore into 20 Sangh-linked organisations that run hospitals and schools since 2013.

Dharmendra Pradhan and Hardeep Singh Puri have been Ministers during the time.

Do read. Do share.

Assam Chief Minister hate speech against Muslims, nothing from Supreme Court. BJP leader Vijay Shah hate speech against colonel Qureshi, nothing. Yogi's bulldozer raj, nothing. Muslim mass disenfranchisement, nothing. Constitution and courts don't exist for Muslims? Sorry state

I have written about this. Awful things happen here in Norway too.
Norway is not a perfect country. The people or the powerful are not perfect either. I never claimed that.

What we do have is press freedom.

This is probably one of the most covered trials of this century.

He is facing four years of prison, which he has appealed. The case is still in the judicial system.

Sharp Edge: The CJP faces obstacles that the Anna movement never had including a govt that resents dissent & regards listening to protesters as weakness
If it is to succeed it must stop demanding visits from Rahul Gandhi & fight for its own identity

[SANJAY HEGDE @sanjayuvacha]

The preambular promises of Liberty, Equality & Fraternity in our Constitution came from the French Revolution. There is a straight line from the Russian revolution to our directive principles of state policy. Removing international historical context which influenced Indian thinking, from our text books, is an invitation to stunted minds and limited vision.

Historic Judgement by Justice Purnendu Singh of the Patna HC. ☺️

So the story is - On Jan 19, 2008, a girl with her father went to Chaya Studio owned by Shri Himanshu Kumar Pathak ji in Amarpur, Bihar for a photograph.

Pathak ji asked her father to remain outside on the pretext that he needed to check the photos on the computer.

He then locked the door from inside and undressed himself.

Pathakji removed her salwar, and forcefully started pressing her chest.

The girl started crying and screaming. Hearing her cries, when her father forced open the door, Pathakji fled.

The Additional Sessions Judge in Banka, Bihar then convicted Pathakji in attempt to r@pe charges.

On this 9 July, the Bench of Justice Purnendu Singh held that attempting to remove a woman’s salwar and pressing her chest does “not unequivocally establish" an attempt to rape and acquitted Shri Himanshu Kumar Pathak ji.

The court said there was no evidence of penetration "even to the slightest extent" to establish attempt to r@pe. ☺️

In a patriarchal society, a woman fought for 18 years. I even cannot imagine the hurdles she faced in her quest for justice and to punish her molester, only to see this day. Can you?

However, according to sources, the judgment has triggered a wave of jubilation among all the existing, potential, and future rapists and molesters in India.

Congratulations. ☺️
