🚨URGENT STATEMENT🚨

The interim order passed by the Supreme Court of India in the batch of PILs related to the CJP protest must ring alarm bells across the country. In particular, Direction No. 4, which permits governments to proceed with existing FIRs and carry out investigations, raises extremely serious concerns.

This direction stands in direct contradiction to the solemn assurance and guarantee extended by the Government of India to the youth of this nation on 25 July 2026, namely, that the FIRs would be withdrawn and that no protester would be directly or indirectly targeted for participating in the peaceful movement.

It was on the strength of that solemn assurance, and in complete good faith, that the Cockroach Janta Party called off its nationwide protest.

We now have a credible apprehension that the Government of India and BJP-ruled states may seek to use and weaponise this order of the Bench led by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant to continue FIRs against individual protesters and subject them to great harassment. This was precisely our concern from day one: that courts could be used, directly or indirectly, to achieve political ends by targeting peaceful dissent.

Equally troubling is the fact that the interim order was not opposed by the government's lawyers, despite the Central Government being fully aware that talks/assurances with the CJP had continued until as recently as late last night and that a solemn agreement had already been arrived at on 25 July.

The court's uninformed order is therefore wholly unacceptable.

A solemn public assurance given to thousands of young students and protesters cannot be diluted, undermined, or rendered meaningless through subsequent legal developments, in a surreptitious manner. It only results in breach of public trust.

In any event, nothing in the interim order prevents the Government of India or the concerned BJP/NDA ruled State Governments from withdrawing the FIRs or deciding not to proceed against peaceful protesters, like done by Bihar and Assam governments. The power to withdraw or not pursue such cases continues to rest with the executive. The court has not mandated that governments must definitely continue with the FIRs. That would be a deliberate misreading. The Government must not invoke the Court’s order as a justification for reneging on the commitment it made on 25 July.

We therefore demand that the Government of India and the concerned BJP/NDA State Governments immediately place the terms of this solemn assurance before the Supreme Court in the pending proceedings so that there is complete transparency regarding the commitments already made to the youth of this country and so that the court can withdraw and make an informed order in the future.

The youth of India entered into this understanding in good faith. That good faith must not be betrayed. Institutions of constitutional importance must never be politicised and weaponised to not honour the guarantees.

The deadline for the Government of India to honour its guarantees expires today. We once again call upon it to fulfil every commitment it made: withdraw the FIRs, ensure that no protester is subjected to future punitive action, and honour both the letter and the spirit of the assurance that brought an end to the protest.

Failing this, and as previously declared, the Cockroach Janta Party will have no option but to resume its nationwide protest to protect the students and young protesters who stood up not for themselves alone, but for the future of this nation. A government that breaks its word cannot expect the youth to remain silent. If the guarantees are dishonoured, the streets of India will once again become the voice of its young.

[Saurav Das @SauravDassss]

🚨STATEMENT

We are deeply concerned by multiple reports reaching us of students and other protestors being targeted, detained, or arrested by various state agencies, particularly in Assam, West Bengal, and Bihar.

The Cockroach Janta Party had called off its nationwide protest only after the Government of India assured us that no punitive action would be taken against any protestor, either now or in the future, in any BJP-ruled or NDA-ruled states. The reports emerging from these states are therefore a matter of grave concern.

First, we wish to assure every protestor that our legal team is already coordinating with brilliant lawyers in the concerned states to secure the release of those detained and to extend all possible legal assistance. This has been happening from Day 1.

Second, we call upon the Government of India, particularly @JPNadda ji and @DrJitendraSingh ji, to immediately honour the assurance given to us by ensuring the release of those detained and by directing that no coercive or retaliatory action is taken against any protestor anywhere in the country. The FIRs registered ought to be withdrawn too.

The Government of India is also reminded of its commitment to furnish us the written guarantee in this regard by tomorrow, Tuesday, 28 July 2026.

Our decision to suspend the nationwide protest was taken in good faith and solely on the basis of the government’s assurance that it would stand by its word. Any departure from that assurance would not merely amount to a breach of trust with the Cockroach Janta Party but would also be a breach of public trust with lakhs of young Indians who chose dialogue over protests.

Such breach of trust will be completely unacceptable to the youth.

The Government of India is reminded that it derives credibility not from just making a promise, but from the promises they honour.

To the young protestors we say, hold on. We are with you. The CJP continues to closely monitor the situation and expects the Government of India and all BJP/NDA state governments to act with utmost urgency, responsibility, and good faith that the present circumstances demand. We demand that all detainees/arrestees be released immediately, and in any case by tomorrow, and that all FIRs be withdrawn immediately, failing which we shall take further necessary steps.

I want to tell you about a two-time Nobel Prize winner who figured out why humans get heart disease and almost every other animal does not.

His name was Linus Pauling. He won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1954 and the Nobel Peace Prize in 1962. He is the only person in history to win two unshared Nobel Prizes.

In 1989 he published something that should have changed cardiology forever.

He called it the Unified Theory of Human Cardiovascular Disease.

Nobody listened.

The lost train of Tinsukia.

This is too hilarious.

Remember there was a case of a missing tank in Ahmednagar some years back.

The Indian Railways did one better.....they had a complete train missing for nearly 40 years. This is how it happened:

The Lost Train.

This rake was discovered on on 18th December 2019 lying at a small station about 40 kms short of Tinsukia main.

Tinsukia itself is about 480 kms NE of Guwahati and about 80 kms from the Arunachal border.

Apparently sometime in 1976 or so, the rake had been placed at one of the disused sidings temporarily, as there was no place available along the platforms at the station, which in any case was a very small one.

Railway records show that the train had reached there at 11:08 AM on 16th June 1976. The engine ('power' in railway parlance) was disconnected from the rake and brought back to the station to assist in placing of certain goods wagons.

Heavy rains and flooding took place with effect 11:31 AM, the same day. Enquiries ordered by the Railway Board reveal, at that point of time, the railway staff was totally involved in maintaining traffic continuity, track repairs and tackling the immediate flooding problem; as almost the entire station had been submerged in 5-6 feet of water.

The passengers all had alighted and had made their way to their destinations, obviously with some difficulty. And with some help from the local villagers.

During this period the Station Master too moved out on posting as also some of the staff.

In the meantime people forgot about this rake as it was about 2 kms from the main station, at a limb and in a deserted place.

Slowly vegetation took over the entire area. The remnants of the track leading to the rarely used siding, which had not been washed away in the flood, soon disappeared under bushes, shrubs and weeds. Snakes, birds and wild animals found it an ideal home, much like sunken ships in which marine life abounds.

Time went by. Most of the older lot of railway men retired and others passed away. No one remembered the train. Daniel Smith, the engine driver emigrated to Australia in September 1976.

On 5th December 2019, a satellite picture by one of the NASA satellites which was mapping the forest cover in the Asia-Africa region, captured somewhat obscure, hidden and not too clear pictures of this rake, under a thick forest canopy.

Suspecting it to be the site of an Indian, camouflaged 'rail mobile' ICBM rake, it was forwarded to the Pentagon.

Abnormal activity of a number of satellites over this area was then noted by ISRO, NTRO and Indian intelligence agencies.

In the meantime Russian and Chinese
double agents in the Pentagon informed their handlers, in their mother countries, about the 'ICBM Train' discovered by NASA.
In a bizarre sequence of events, RAW got this information from agents on their payroll in Russia and China.

Now alarm bells started ringing. Could it be a rogue action by an Indian ‘Dr Strangeglove' type of person-- civilian or military?

Inquiries began at the Indian end.

The PMO, DIA (Defence Intelligence Agency), NIA (National Investigation Agency), the MoD (Ministry of Defence) and the CCS
(Cabinet Committee on Security) got involved.

By an internal memo, the IHQ, the Military Space Command and SFC (Strategic Forces Command), all denied the placement of any such train/rake at the location being given.

But subsequent aerial recce and pics taken by own satellites, IAF and the ARC (Aviation Research Center), all confirmed that a well camouflaged rake actually was there.

Ultimately a ground party of SF including MARCOS and GARUD's was sent along with a senior intelligence officer from the NSA's office to the site in an hush-hush operation.

And that is the story of the Lost Train!

Unbelievable!!!!

😂📺 Tammy on “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?”

A blonde lady named Tammy enters the famous TV quiz show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?

Jeremy Clarkson puts her at ease, and somehow she flies through the early questions. Before long, she’s sitting on £500,000 with just one lifeline left — Phone a Friend.

Clarkson says,
“Tammy, you’ve done very well so far — £500,000 and one lifeline left. The next question is for ONE MILLION pounds. But if you get it wrong, you drop back to £32,000. Are you ready?”

Tammy smiles.
“Sure, I’ll have a go!”

Clarkson reads the question:

“Which of the following birds does not build its own nest?

A — Robin
B — Sparrow
C — Cuckoo
D — Thrush

Remember, Tammy, this is worth one million pounds. .”

Tammy hesitates.
“I think I know it… but I’m not 100%. I’d like to phone my best buddy Maggie back home in Birmingham.”

📞 The call connects.

Clarkson explains the situation, and Tammy quickly reads the question.

Maggie responds without hesitation:
“Oh, Tammy, that’s simple — it’s a Cuckoo.”

“You’re sure?” Tammy asks.

“I’m positive.”

Tammy hangs up.

Clarkson asks,
“Do you want to walk away with £500,000, or play for the million?”

Tammy says confidently,
“I’ll play. C — Cuckoo.”

“Is that your final answer?”

“It is.”

Clarkson pauses dramatically…

“Tammy… you are absolutely RIGHT! You’ve just won ONE MILLION POUNDS!” 🎉💰

The crowd goes wild.

Later that evening, Tammy takes her blonde bestie Maggie out for celebratory drinks. As they sip champagne, Tammy asks,

“Tell me, Maggie… how on earth did you know it was the Cuckoo?”

Maggie smiles and says,

“Tammy… everybody knows a Cuckoo lives in a clock!” 🕰️😂

This guy is the stooge of the Patanjali Ayurveda empire in India where they mixed cuttlefish bones inside vegetarian toothpaste and chanted Sanskrit Slokas to improve effectiveness of their proprietary herbal drug called DengueNIL which they claimed to cure dengue (it didn't and it was in zebra fish).

He's always the first author on these studies who has zero clue about the study. He cannot spell DNA even if you show it on a Teleprompter. Some health repeoter should just go and ask him to summarise one among the many studies he has published without his so-called scientist team around. You'll see how much of a Stanford "topper" this guy really is.

All the publications under his name are conducted by their well paid "scientist team" with allegiance to their master manipulator Mr. Ramdev, who funds their third rate zebra fish and fruit fly studies and publishes them in open access journals charging huge fees. This is all just a facade because these frauds have learned how to hijack medical science and scientific terminologies to promote their quackery.

India is predominantly a land of the stupid, highly spiritual and indoctrinated on religion and communalism and happily living solely to pull down other people and communities and harass those who try to educate and inform.

Scientific temper has no value here and traditions and cultural dogmatism are deeply ingrained. In such a place, mediocre and substandard "scientists" like these become the one-eyed king of the land of the blind.
