Over the past many years, I have taken a personal stand in support of the NEET examination, arguing that it brought uniformity in student selection across the country and gave students from underprivileged backgrounds a real shot at pursuing their dream of medical education. In the last 5 years, the NEET UG question paper has leaked thrice. Imagine the amount of pressure that it puts on students, who had to go through the examination process yet another time when the system that was supposed to bring in uniformity was failing. Yet there was no accountability, and I believe strongly that it was that moment that brought in a shift in the minds of the students to take to the streets to cry their hearts out.
Protest is a fundamental right in a Democracy. The pertinent question, however, is this: why did the BJP-led Central Government take so long to initiate a dialogue with the protestors? Why was meaningful engagement delayed until the protest had escalated to a flashpoint? What kept you waiting?
The students and the people who are leading them also have a responsibility here. It is natural that when a protest stays on for weeks, people with vested interests will take the stage to air views that are either completely irrelevant to the initial demands of the protests or would try to completely hijack it to serve their agenda. If you remain silent and let these people with vested interests further their agenda, then you are deviating from your core objectives. Please do not let it happen!
I urge the BJP-led Central Government to engage in meaningful dialogue, uphold transparency, and take swift, appropriate action to address the concerns at hand. The strength of any nation lies in the confidence its youth place in its institutions. If our students lose faith in the fairness and credibility of our education system, we are jeopardising the future of our nation.
தம்பி, உனக்கு சம்மந்தம் இல்லாத விஷயத்தில் மூக்கை நுழைக்காதே.
உன் வேலையை பார்த்துட்டு போயிட்டே இரு.
அது நாங்கள் எங்கள் மத குருவுக்கு செய்யும் சேவை என்று நினைக்கிறோம்.
இது மாதிரி குருத்வாராவில் போய் கேட்டு வைக்காதே, விளைவுகள் பயங்கரமா இருக்கும்.
Thank you @AirIndia.
My wife and me today took AI2606 . We have health issues. The courtesies for wheel chair smooth check in, facilities rendered. We appreciate AI staff Suchitra, Rajiv, Subash and others at Thiruvananthapuram airport. Well done.
I donated around 60 litres of breast milk to the government hospital in Hyderabad and Chennai during my first year of post partum!!
Why does it matter? Just 100ml of donor milk can feed a tiny 1kg baby for several days. This donation could potentially support dozens of infants in the NICU. Donating is safe, screened, and desperately needed. Many NICU babies don't have immediate access to their mother's own milk due to medical complications. Donor milk acts as a vital bridge, providing immunity and nutrition during those critical first days.
It serves as a bridge for mothers whose milk may be delayed due to stress, illness,malnutrition or premature birth.
Donor human milk is proven to significantly reduce the incidence of Necrotizing Enterocolitis (a life-threatening gut condition) in premature infants!!!
Check your local govt hospital to see how you can help! #MilkBank #SavingLives #MaternalHealth
@sumanthraman If this is CM’s home, there will be full of police in the street and no one will be allowed inside so that such scenes never happen. Everyone needs privacy.
@johnstanly I would remember a famous statement of your good self in a podcast that the last thing Israel want is an economically stronger Iran, which is what JCPOA enabled, that’s why Israelis are dead opposed to it. But isn’t this war kind of strengthening Iran,atleast by selling more oil?
@johnstanly Counterintuitively,Wouldn’t IRGC be expecting war to continue so that they can sell oil at higher prices compared to pre-war condition, which would again help them build more munitions, leading to destructive action by US, resulting in further blockage of Hormuz? Vicious cycle 🤯
@johnstanly Hi Stan, I am a regular reader of your posts. I have a question : National security is the main reason why gulf nations suck up to US. When the current circumstances irrefutably prove that security cannot be completely guaranteed, why do gulf nations still look up to US?
@DrPraveenwrites@SavukkuOfficial You support the financial fraud Devanathan Yadav? Do you know how many lost their savings because of him? Being in BJP doesn’t mean clean. Adding people like him in the list shows the dearth of talents in TN BJP. @Savukkumedia@SavukkuOfficial
As you look at the horrific pictures of the bombed Iranian school…
Pause for a minute and think..
Indian Air Force and the Army were given 2 and 7 terror targets respectively to hit on the night of May 6-7 in Op Sindoor…
Each was fully destroyed…
On the morning of May 8, the IAF carried out extensive air defence suppression using long-range kamikaze drones…
On May 9-10 the IAF targeted 14 PAF bases or radar stations/missile batteries…
Destructive evidence of almost all these strikes cane up in satellite pictures…
All strikes were carried out by precision munitions from long distances…
Not one missed aim or strayed to harm civilians… no school, no village or city, no hospitals. None…
This despite not having a fraction of the US military weapons, sensors or surveillance ability…
And in a furiously contested air space against near-peer PAF and its Chinese air defences…
Let’s give credit where due. To our armed forces in this case…
