Sir, some journalists did work to bring issues to the forefront. An example: (1) How "inclusion of illegal immigrants" in the electoral rolls is a factor for SIR.(June 25) (2) how BLOs were saying this is an impossible task to achieve in 30 days(26) (3) ECI clarified that people can submit enumeration forms without documents at the draft stage--this still remains an issue (June 29) (4) How the commission deleted "foreign illegal immigrants" from subsequent releases in a possible bid to avoid any controversy (July 1) (5)How a union minister said that this indeed was a "citizenship drive". (July 2). Pls read: https://t.co/dHG2rlohId

वीर क्रांतिकारी, महान सेनानी सरदार भगत सिंह की जयंती पर शत शत नमन

“लिख रहा हूं मैं अंजाम जिसका कल आगाज आएगा,
मेरे लहू का हर एक कतरा इंकलाब लाएगा!
मैं रहूं या न रहूं पर ये वादा है मेरा तुमसे कि,
मेरे बाद वतन पर मरने वालों का सैलाब आएगा।”
