I got a visa to India and was supposed to leave this morning to attend the Bharat Summit in Hyderabad. I had been invited as a panelist and speaker on the future of media and press freedom.
But «orders from above» in the Ministry of Home Affairs have cancelled my visa.
Here is my message for @AmitShah
Dear PM @narendramodi,
Tribal children have been ignored by the system for far too long.
Please fix their schools.
Let every Adivasi home have its “Ashirwad ka Diya” 🪔
IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION ON JHARKHAND ANSHAN…
Some media houses had mistakenly reported yesterday that Devendra Nath Mahato ji had broken his hunger strike after my video call. This is to clarify that he only agreed to take water & salt after my call. His hunger strike continues as before with no food for the 5th day.
Sorry to dissappoint. I could barely get through science in high school. Definetely not a NEET-aspirant. I feel for the students who were let down after all their hard work.
As for me, I just have an increasing interest in India because I’ve gotten to know so many people there & I learn more and more everyday. And some people appreciate me being involved in the discussions so I will.
You’re free to not tag along.
@BeingSalmanKhan But First, You need to marry to have children to feel the pain of those millions of parents and students. Change name from Being Human to Being Puppet in your coffee mug. It's not movie. Rubbish tweet. 💔😢😌
@BeingSalmanKhan Did Amit Shah threaten to ban your next film?
Everyone knows how honourable prime minister's whole govt is just surviving on blackmailing and extortion. Don't worry, the people of India will ensure that you get your freedom of speech back once Modi is gone.
We request @Wangchuk66 sir to end his hunger strike. The country needs him, and his life is far too precious to be put at further risk.
The peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar will continue until our demands are met.
It was such a peaceful movement, feel so sad that it had to take a violent turn. My heart goes out to the students and their families who were hurt. Paper leak is a very serious issue, and I am glad to know n see that the kids of our country have come together for a better educational system, and their parents supported them.
I truly appreciate the stand they have taken, showing dedication, sincerity, and keenness to study hard n make their future and a greater, educated India. This andolan, this protest, is the right way to go abt it, n the students have done this peacefully. So courageous and brave. Driven and motivated towards education, this generation will make India proud.
This issue is between the students and the educational system, it should not be hijacked politically, the credit should only go to the students of our country, and I am sure the government will also give them all the support n make it a stronger educational system. It’s a win-win situation. Hoping n praying for a positive decision. God bless all of you who wanna be educated.
Education should be the next trend and fashion, and should get trendier n more fashionable yr by yr, itna k bahar se log come to India to study and India becomes an educational hub.
Sonam Wangchuk is trying hard to see you all! Just submitted a letter to the hospital as his health is good and they claim he is not in detention. So why the restrictions?
The mother of democracy chooses this style over conversations and giving the protesters the answers they seek.
Let’s hope the children of democracy do not take notes.
WHEN WILL I END THE FAST….!
Not withstanding my health my fast continues till after the Sansad Chalo March, and will be broken only under the following circumstances…
