This is ABSOLUTE CINEMA 🤣

(MUST Watch Video😂) This is Comedy Pro MAX😂

The "Hindu khatre mein hai" gang called a press conference.

Big speeches. Big claims. Then a journalist asked ONE simple question:

> "Ankita Bhandari was a Hindu too. Where's your outrage for her?"

The leader of the gang:

> "Uh… umm… a… p… p…"
> *starts coughing* 🤣

Think about it for a second.

These are the people who come out on the streets over a movie, a song, a T-shirt, a tweet…

But when a 19-year-old Hindu daughter from Uttarakhand is murdered, and the main convict is the son of a former BJP leader?

> No march.
> No outrage.
> No "Hindu khatre mein".
> Just COUGHING.

Turns out "Hindu khatre mein hai" has an exception clause: unless the accused is from our own party.

Ankita's parents got detained at India Gate. This gang got a sore throat 🗿🔥 https://t.co/It27g174ie

You’ve heard a lot about Umar Khalid through the media. But amid the media witch-hunt against him, there has been very little space for him to speak for himself, especially since he’s spent the last six years in jail.

So I want to tell you a little about my friend Umar, in his own words, as shared with his family and friends.

What a country we have become!

A big shout-out to all the young lawyers who ensure the release of all detainees every evening!

This fight goes on because we do not fight it alone. Journalists reporting the truth despite unlawful repression, lawyers holding the police to the law, lakhs and lakhs of first-time protesters fighting tooth and nail, giving actual blood to keep democracy alive.

From buses, trains, streets and houses the Delhi Police is detaining citizens without any grounds.

First, the complete shutdown of the capital, now the detention and barricading of every citizen in the capital, and those on their way.

They tell you they're not afraid, they tell you the protest will be a flop. The truth is out for all to see.

Jantar Mantar 2.0 is on!

Prashant Kishor says -

An SC notice changes nothing.

Under its nose Bihar saw voter-list errors, rigging and ₹20,000 crore vote-buying and the Court refused to act.

Had it been vigilant, the EC wouldn’t be the ruling party’s extension.

Gyanesh Kumar is irrelevant;

years of voter rolls, MCC and count lapses have already killed people trust on EC.

“By the proper offering of sesamum, rice and barley, māṣa, water, roots and fruits, men’s pitṛ (ancestors) are satisfied for one month.”

dvau māsau matsyamāṃsena trīn māsān hāriṇena tu,
aurabhreṇātha caturaḥ śākunenātha pañca vai.
“For two months by fish-meat; for three months by the meat of deer; for four by that of sheep, and for five by that of birds.”

“For six months by the meat of goat; for seven by that of spotted deer; for eight by that of the black antelope, and for nine by that of the Ruru deer.”

śrāddhe devānpitṝnprārcya khādanmāṃsaṃ na doṣabhāk.
“The use of garlic or onion in food, should be atoned by performing a Cāndrāyaṇa penance. The use of any cooked meat on the occasion of Śrādha ceremony, and after dedicating it to one’s departed pitṛ does not entail any sin.”

Even your scriptures don’t respect your “sentiments.”

[Shailaja Chandra @over2shailaja]

I have been associated with elections right from the nineteen seventies. From Seshan onwards I have known many CECs and ECs well.
I have deliberately kept away from the ECI controversy because almost everything said about it is immediately labelled political and biased. But it has now reached a point where silence seems equally wrong.

Forget for a moment who is accusing whom. All that matters is that the Supreme Court wants to know how certain decisions were taken and who took them. There should be a record—files, notings, minutes, electronic trails. If something that should exist cannot be produced, that too will have to be explained.

What troubles me most is the damage already done. The ECI once carried enormous credibility, including abroad. So did India for conducting elections on an extraordinary scale with an Election Commission trusted to be independent.

Whatever the eventual explanation, that reputation has taken a knock. It took decades to build. I hope we understand what is at stake.

🚨BIG BREAKING : Indian Express just dropped another HYDROGEN BOMB on CEC Gyanesh Kumar🔥🔥

GYANESH KUMAR'S PORTAL EXPOSED : EVEN JUDGES CAN'T GET IN

The Supreme Court set up more than a dozen tribunals in West Bengal to hear SIR appeals, including from 27 lakh deleted voters.

Now Indian Express reports what those judges complained about.
The Election Commission's own IT portal will not let them serve notices.
They can't upload extra documents from voters, can't hold virtual hearings, and can't restore a deleted voter.
Appellants can't even download the order that tells them why their name was cut.

So the Court says hear the people, and the Commission's software says no.

Bro, imagine your father fights a 6-month case to get his name back.
The judge agrees with him.
Then the judge clicks "restore" and the screen says: option not available.

Your vote dies in a dropdown menu.

Gyanesh Kumar ji, you locked the door and handed the judges a key that doesn't fit.
Modi ji, Shah ji, you keep shielding him while 27 lakh people wait outside.
Open the portal.
Restore the voters. Or resign. 🔥🔥🔥

If Gyanesh Kumar doesn’t resign, cockroaches from across India will march to Delhi & protest at Jantar Mantar on October 10.

If Delhi Police tries to stop us, wherever they stop us will become our Jantar Mantar..

Ours will be a peaceful andolan. We will walk on the path shown by Mahatma Gandhi. It is up to the Govt & the Delhi Police whether they respect our right to peaceful protest or repeat the brutality we witnessed on July 20.

This is a fight to save our democracy. Every citizen who wants free & fair elections must join.

[Sincere Dibya @TheSincereDude]

TCS's involvement in ECINet came to light only through the company's own corporate disclosures; not through anything the ECI disclosed.

A private corporation was editing a statutory voter registration form on a government portal, and Parliament was never told.

Under the RP Act 1950, even the ECI cannot alter Form 6 without the Law Ministry; so on whose authority was TCS modifying it?

The ECI owes the country a full audit trail: every change, every timestamp, every name that authorised it.

🚨IMPORTANT NEWS🚨

Since Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar is in the news, I have some very important but sad news to share about a Supreme Court judge.

Supreme Court judge Justice Satish Chandra Sharma. Just two months away from retirement.

If you remember, the Allahabad High Court had imposed a penalty on Medha Roopam, the DM of Noida and daughter of Gyanesh Kumar with a fine of five lakh rupees for irrationally issuing NSA order against a student Activist for Noida labour protest.

That order was challenged before the Supreme Court of India. Live Law, the news portal, reported that Gyanesh’s daughter’s case was listed before Justice Satish Chandra Sharma out of turn and in violation of the Supreme Court roster and rules and convention. The challenge ought to have gone before Justice Nagarathna’s bench, known to be an independent upright judge.

Two days back, when the matter was listed for hearing, Justice Sharma‘s bench switched off the audio of the Supreme Court proceeding, which is highly unusual and almost never done. ALARMING. There was no explanation from the judge’s side as to why this extraordinary favour was done for Gyanesh’s daughter.

In any case the fine and the adverse remarks of the Allahabad High Court were stayed by Justice Sharma immediately.

Same day, in another case related to Gyanesh Kumar—the constitutional challenge that was filed against the 2023 law on election commissioners of India was finally decided by a two judge bench of which Justice Sharma was a part of.

Under challenge was the appointments procedure where the leader of opposition today holds only an ornamental seat in the Three-member selection committee that selects Election commissioner of India. The other two are PM and his Cabinet Minister. Justice Sharma dissented which led to a split verdict and the case has now been sent before the Chief Justice of India for constituting a larger bench. This has delayed the case by years probably. This split verdict itself came after three years. This is how the Supreme Court refuses to hear most important cases that affect our lives and the country.

A separate blanket immunity granted to past and present election commissioners of India by Modi’s government is also pending for last 9 months before CJI Surya Kant. Today, the Chief Election Commissioner has been exposed for gross illegalities and for stealing votes and elections at the behest of powers that be. Any sane, sorted, neutral, just person can see that the selection process of ECIs is not independent and tilted in govt’s favour. But not Justice Sharma.

And here’s the big news: his son holds not one, not two, but four big, plum government counsel panels, including income, tax department, GST, customs, and excise, and a Madhya Pradesh government lawyer panel. I need not explain the great perks and influence that come along when you hold such plum government panels. Read my Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma report where I exposed the same thing.

I am withholding the name of the son for now.

The important question is: how can a judge be expected to do impartial and fair Justice in politically sensitive cases if his family members serve at the pleasure of the government? The judge is also retiring two months later, and several lawyers have informed me that there are vacancies in NCLAT and other search plum tribunals.

I’M SORRY TO SAY such a system of judiciary does not inspire confidence in its ability to do impartial justice. There is a reason why the ethics code for judges require them to maintain a sense of aloofness and not do anything which can harm the their image and that of the judiciary.

Both in Justice Swarna Kanta’s case and several other judges case, including that of the Supreme Court, it is TRAGIC to notice the complete capture of the institution of the Indian judiciary. Can the judiciary go on like this?
