This is Rafiq Hussain Bhattuk. He was a leader in Godhra, owned two petrol pumps, and it was he who arranged the petrol used to burn the Sabarmati train. He remained absconding for 14 years. The Gujarat Intelligence Bureau had kept his relatives and family members under surveillance, with all their phones being monitored. One day, he called his son because he had become a grandfather. The surveillance traced his location to Delhi. He then told his son that he would secretly come to Godhra on a certain date because he wanted to see his grandson.
The police decided it would be better to let him come to Godhra rather than arrest him in Delhi. He arrived in Godhra, where police officers in plain clothes were stationed at the railway station and arrested him.
Yesterday, all of his crimes were proven in court, and he was sentenced to life imprisonment. Remember when Lalu Yadav used to say that the fire on the Sabarmati Express in Godhra had started on its own and that no one had set it? After confessing everything, he told the police that he had spent those 14 years living in Lajpat Rai Market in Old Delhi.
Just think about how vast the ecosystem of these religious terrorists is. Did any journalist report this news?
“India First.”
Jai Shri Ram.
We request Government of India to appoint Shri Tukaram Mundhe sir as CEO of FSSAI.
Whole India deserves safe and unadulterated food and safe drugs not only maharashtra.
Please Retweet so that it reaches to the government.
He's Tukaram Mundhe, a 2005-batch IAS from Maharashtra.
Over the last few weeks, you might have heard his name. That is because he was recently appointed Commissioner of State’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Since taking charge, the FDA has been on an absolute warpath, raiding illegal, fake, synthetic, and adulterated products. From synthetic milk networks and adulterated paneer to illegal gutkha and unhygienic eateries, nothing has escaped his radar.
Mundhe has made it clear that even the most famous names will not get a free pass. His department shocked Mumbai by suspending the food licenses of iconic establishments, such as the 73-year-old Marine Drive ice cream parlor K. Rustom & Co., alongside famous eateries like Shalimar Hospitality, Noor Mohammadi Hotel, and Rahmaniya Restaurant, after surprise inspections uncovered severe hygiene violations, including live pests and expired ingredients.
Such is the fear of his crackdowns that, just two days ago, dairy farmers were caught on video spilling hundreds of liters of synthetic milk after rumors of an impending FDA raid spread.
This is his 25th transfer in a 21-year career, a testament to his refusal to bend to political pressure. It makes you wonder: if just one IAS officer can bring about so much change, where would our country be if every bureaucrat were as uncompromising and proactive as him?
We have launched a campaign against individuals who are availing SC quota benefits while practicing and even preaching Christianity, often through illegal means

Our team went to the village in Muzaffarnagar where a large-scale miracle-healing racket came to light this week
We informed villagers about faith-healing fraud, illegal conversions, UP’s freedom of religion law, phenomenon of crypto-Christians and loss of SC quota after conversion
@sewanyaya is running a most comprehensive program to fight and spread awareness against unlawful conversions on bhoomi: https://t.co/pH0vhYfOGx
This pastor’s son is in police force on quota while he himself holds miracle healing conversion gatherings
When anybody objects, he threatens - “I am from staff!”

Cancer patient was about to die. She pleaded. Her plea has been listed 57 times. The court has still not heard it. Teesta Setalvad was about to be jailed. She pleaded. Her plea was listed out of turn. The court heard it at midnight.
Cancer patient is dead. Teesta is alive.
On the debate sparked by ‘Satluj’, I see many people here asking “why Hindus have never managed to align themselves politically in Punjab?!”.
As a Punjabi Hindu I feel this is because we have never managed to see Sikhs as separate from us. We have never really understood why we have been targeted and killed by Khalistanis.
Disputes over state boundaries, river water sharing, language…were these kind of petty reasons enough to tear the blood bond that Punjabi Hindus and Sikhs shared for centuries and start a lame separatist movement?! Was it not obvious that the country’s only martial community was being weaponised against itself by vested interests?!
Is it fair to blame all Hindus for the heinous crimes of 1984 for which only one political party was responsible?!
Is it fair to bury the thousands of stories of violence and rape by Khalistanis before 1984?!
To me, the widening rift between Hindus and Sikhs is a source of personal anguish.
A Sikh brother once said to me, “Hindus and Sikhs are like a finger and its nail: They are inseparable.”
Praying that all Punjabis can see past their anger, something which they are prone to, to find love and brotherhood again, which they are known for.

A daycare employee at Capgemini's Bengaluru campus couldn't bear the abuse of the kids at the centre.
She reported it to supervisor, but instead of taking action, they fired her. She then became a whistleblower and leaked videos that exposed the abuse.
In the videos, toddlers were made to sit inside the drum of a front-loading washing machine, had water sprayed into their mouths using a toilet jet spray, were locked inside bathrooms, and were forced into narrow, water-filled pipes to frighten them. The videos triggered outrage, forcing authorities to act.
Today, according to media reports, the police have arrested the whistleblower only for allegedly "leaking sensitive videos." Lol! What a system! A poor woman with a clear conscience stood up to the powerful and went public, not for personal gain or with any malicious intent, but solely to protect those children. And she's the one who gets arrested.
दो कौड़ी का वक्तव्य। संघ के चरित्र निर्माण का क्या हुआ? अनिल मिश्रा और चंपत राय जैसे लोग का बैकग्राउंड क्या है? आपके क्षेत्र और प्रांत प्रचारकों की सहमति के बिना ही ट्रस्ट के लोग कार्य कर रहे थे? भर्तियाँ किसके कहने पर हो रही थीं? आपका पूरा ढाँचा कहाँ चला गया जिससे आपको नस-नस का समाचार मिलता है?
राम मंदिर से अधिक यह कलंक संघ पर लगा है। उसको पोंछो और दो कौड़ी के स्टेटमेंट दे कर खाना-पूर्ति बंद करो।
What exactly is an E20-compliant vehicle? By definition, it's a vehicle engineered to safely and reliably run on E20 fuel. That also implies a non-E20-compliant vehicle is not designed for E20. Otherwise, the term "compliant" becomes meaningless.
So my question to Mr. @nitin_gadkari is simple: Why was E20 fuel rolled out nationwide when most vehicles on Indian roads were not E20-compliant?
If the answer is, "Nothing happens. Non-compliant vehicles can also run on E20," then what was the rationale behind mandating manufacturers to produce E20-compliant vehicles in the first place? Either E20 compatibility is technically necessary, in which case introducing E20 before the vehicle fleet was ready was questionable. Or it isn't necessary, in which case the compliance requirement itself appears redundant.
You can't simultaneously argue that E20 compliance is important enough to mandate for new vehicles, yet claim it doesn't matter because older, non-compliant vehicles can run on E20 anyway.
By the same logic, why stop at E20? Why not go full aatm-nirbhar and switch directly to E100? If compatibility doesn't matter, then non-E100-compliant vehicles should run on E100 too. Clearly, that's not how engineering works. So where exactly is the technical justification?
Shri Champat Rai’s defense that he didn’t pocket a single rupee is completely irrelevant. He holds ultimate moral responsibility for the corruption that happened on his watch.
If you excuse Rai because he didn’t personally benefit, then you can never blame Manmohan Singh for the massive scams his ministers pulled under his nose. You cannot claim the authority of the top post but disown the corruption happening right in front of you.
As head of the Trust, Rai's absolute duty was to build a foolproof system to protect every single paisa. The poorest of the poor donate their hard-earned money out of pure faith for Ram Kaaj. Letting that money slip into the pockets of subordinates is a monumental betrayal of public trust.
Hiding behind personal honesty isn't a defense. In a position of supreme trust, a total failure of oversight is just as unforgivable as the theft itself.
रत्ती भर भी लज्जा नहीं आई ये ट्वीट लिखते हुए? कब तक इस पतित को बचाते रहोगे? कौन सी विवशता है सिवाय इस ईगो बैटल के कि जनता के दवाब में तो नहीं हटाऊँगा?
समाज में इस व्यक्ति को ले कर जो भाव हैं, और @narendramodi का जो यह इंडोर्समेंट है, वह बताता है कि इस सरकार ने शिक्षा को अपनी अंतिम प्राथमिकता बना रखा है।
If every taxpayer can be tracked for every rupee he owes the government, why can’t the government show taxpayers where every rupee spent on roads has gone?
The Government has admitted at various points that nearly ₹5,500 crore has been spent on Bengaluru’s roads. Citizens have a right to know where this money has gone and what outcomes it has delivered.
My demand is simple.
Within the next 30 days, the Government must launch a publicly accessible live dashboard for all road infrastructure works in Bengaluru. Every citizen should be able to see:
• Which road is being worked on
• The cost of the project
• The contractor executing it
• The officer responsible
• The timeline for completion
• The maintenance period
• The defect liability period
• The real-time status of the work
This is not a difficult reform. Bengaluru is India’s technology capital. Hundreds of technology professionals would gladly volunteer their expertise to help build such a platform.
Transparency creates accountability. Accountability improves quality. Quality builds public trust.
₹5,500 crore later, Bengaluru deserves answers.
Build the dashboard. Put every road work online. Let citizens see where their money is going.

Temple revenues must be used for the upkeep of temples, not as welfare funds. Thanks to all activists who have been working relentlessly for years towards this, but Temples should ultimately be in the hands of Devotees. -Sg. @CMOTamilnadu
The 1978 Ranga-Billa case involved the brutal kidnapping and murder of teenage siblings Geeta and Sanjay Chopra in Delhi by career criminals Kuljeet Singh (Ranga) and Jasbir Singh (Billa).
The horrific crime shocked the nation, leading to a massive manhunt and the swift conviction of both killers, who were ultimately hanged in 1982.
The investigation was led by Inspector VP Gupta of the Delhi Police, with SI Ram Chander serving on the team. A bystander, who had tried to save the children, and later helped the police identify the killers by providing their descriptions was Babulal. The journalist who covered the case was Prabha Dutt.
Amazon Prime's series Raakh, which is based on this incident, replaces Inspector VP Gupta with SI Jayprakash Jatav, explicitly portrayed as a Dalit officer navigating institutional bias. Furthermore, SI Ram Chander is replaced by SI Javed Murtaza, Babulal by Saleem, and Prabha Dutt by Nisar, while a lazy hawaldar character named Mishra has been added to the narrative.
This isn't creative liberty. Creative liberty is meant to enhance a story, not distort historical facts to fit a specific ideological agenda. Another stark reminder of how easily history can be rewritten in plain sight under the convenient guise of creative freedom.
