Dear @crpfindia,

Your faces said it all: you didn't buy the PM's lies.

He called us Naxals.

My challenge stands. Let him debate me on who is anti-national and who is controlled by foreign forces. Any time, any place.

My guarantee: after the debate, the PM won't have the guts to stand in front of a single jawan again.

प्रिय @crpfindia के जवानों,

आपके चेहरों ने सब बता दिया - आपको प्रधानमंत्री के झूठ पर भरोसा नहीं।

उन्होंने हमें नक्सली कहा।

मेरी चुनौती क़ायम है। वो मुझसे बहस करें - देशद्रोही कौन है और विदेशी ताक़तों के इशारे पर कौन चल रहा है। कोई भी समय, किसी भी जगह।

मेरी गारंटी: उस बहस के बाद प्रधानमंत्री में एक भी जवान के सामने खड़े होने की हिम्मत नहीं होगी।

My heart goes out to all those educated Modi Bhakts. Come to think of it, apparently, you’ve studied well to earn your degree, doing well in your career, know of the economic predicament India is facing, and still back this ne'er-do-well to do wonders despite his glaring incompetence.

To add insult to injury, they’ve to even defend his theatrics. Voila! Bringing a dead Swami to life via AI, to praise him and his deeds. Well, how can anyone with a functioning brain defend this shit? Even a high-school kid would be embarrassed by this theatrics by the PM.

In 2011, then Gujarat Chief Minister Thiru @narendramodi avl said that if his hands were not tied, he would have gone to Delhi and waged war against the central government. Thiru Narendra Modi avl made this statement in response to the police crackdown on the peaceful anti-corruption campaign led at Ramlila Maidan, Delhi. In my opinion, what the Hon PM said then was absolutely right, and there is nothing wrong about it.

Today, you could be jailed indefinitely; your surety bonds could be rejected; and, surprisingly, a Special Executive Magistrate will play circles around you when he/ she is empowered to deal with preventive bond cases.

If you question the violation of due process of law in a democracy, you would be called names, and a barrage of attacks would follow, including being labelled a Foreign Agent.

Ever since I asked the Central Government to speak with the protestors during the NEET exam protests, I have faced constant attacks, but I let them pass because I felt it was important to focus on the issues on the ground in Tamil Nadu. I also, in a way, enjoyed this as it would quickly remove the tag of me being a BJP B Team and sent to TN as a Dhurandhar 😍

Yesterday during a press meeting, I questioned the Delhi Police’s methods of detaining protestors of CJP.

Since yesterday, the attacks have resumed, as expected. For some in the BJP, let me make this categorically clear, in case you have selective amnesia: I left the BJP on June 5, 2026.

As I mentioned yesterday, I might not agree with the tactics of the CJP, and I think many of theirs are misguided. But if you ask me whether they have a right to oppose/argue/protest on an issue that they think is important?

I would categorically say - YES.

So, I would like people to ask the questions again, even if it makes some of them uncomfortable, and I wish the Central Government would answer them instead of resorting to whataboutism.

https://t.co/U1VOaaWCLM was Jantar Mantar denotified as a protest site as per a standing order of the Ministry of Home Affairs after a letter was handed over by CJP seeking permission to conduct a protest?

https://t.co/Gn79sPgy7b long can we have a system that gives powers to an Asst Commissioner of Police as a Special Executive Magistrate who rules over whether to keep someone in preventive detention? The ACP of Delhi Police stands over the trial where Delhi Police is the complainant against the accused CJP. Now you know which way the wind will blow.

3.On October 19th, why did the Special Executive Magistrate, aka ACP of Delhi Police, deliberately arrive late for the bail hearing of those who were arrested from Jantar Mantar on October 13th and recuse himself, saying there is a threat to his life? Is this some kind of a joke?

4.Why were 8 sureties rejected, and why was the person who came for surety subjected to cross-examination by the Special Executive Magistrate?

5. Any action taken on pellet gun usage by the Delhi police or other actions on Delhi police who have violated the standard operating procedures against the protesters during the NEET fiasco stir?

Has no BJP karyakarta in Delhi violated any bond conditions during the previous Congress and AAP governments. I trust the same Delhi police were then also when barricades were jumped and orders disobeyed? How were they dealt with then? Like this?

Definitely - NO.

Now I hear that the detained functionaries of CJP were released by SEM after the case reached the High Court.

I also recently saw a cockroach effigy burned as part of the Dusshera celebrations. Out of curiosity, I tried to find out who is giving this free publicity at a National level. No surprises here. It was led by a BJP MLA, Ashok Goel.

My question again is: is the BJP opposing the CJP or giving it free publicity? Does it want the opposition votes to split by making CJP a bigger player? At this rate, the CJP couldn’t have asked for a better PR team, even if it had paid for one! (1/2)

#India: We are concerned by reports of mass detentions of demonstrators, protest leaders, members of civil society organisations, lawyers and journalists, before and during today’s large-scale demonstrations in Delhi.

We call on the authorities to ensure that the right to peaceful assembly is fully respected and fulfilled.

[ಅರುಣ್ ಜಾವಗಲ್ | Arun Javgal @ajavgal]

Malnadkoos is not my wife. She is a relative from my extended family, and our relationship is more like that of cousins, I consider her a cousin sister. In fact, I came to know about her only after seeing her on Twitter 3–4 years ago. 😀

And then, I am not a Tamil Brahmin. My parents are Kannada Iyengars (Hebbar Iyengars) from Karnataka. (Although I believe in God, I am not attached to any caste or religion.)

My family stopped using “Iyengar” as a surname generations ago. Nearly 80 years ago, my grandfather, Narayana Iyengar, chose not to give the Iyengar surname to his children. He named them Gundanna, Srinivas Murthy, Ramanna, Nagaraj (my father), Kamalamma, and Kanakamma, all Kannada names. My father’s name is simply Nagaraj, and even today, my cousins and their children do not have the Iyengar surname. 😀

It is the same on my mother’s side as well. My mother, her brothers, and her sister do not have “Iyengar” in their names or surnames. So, on both sides of my family, the Iyengar surname has not been used for generations.

The generations before me spent more time working on farmland than in temples chanting Tamil shlokas in the Vaishnava tradition. They were more devoted to farming than to religious rituals. They simply believed in “ಕಾಯಕವೇ ಕೈಲಾಸ” work is worship. In a way, they unknowingly followed Kannadiga Basavanna’s philosophy of giving importance to work and everyday life over religious rituals.

Our family has been living in our village near Hassan for at least the last 500 years. Our house was a common meeting place for activities related to our village goddess or any other issues related to our village, bringing together people from all castes. For generations, our family played an active role in the social life of the village and remained deeply connected to the local community and Kannada culture. In a way, I inherited this spirit of social involvement and connection to the Kannada community from my family.

Even though many of my relatives are strong supporters of Hindutva-oriented politics like many Brahmins, neither I nor my family was particularly drawn towards Hindutva or Brahmin-centred politics. From childhood, I and my previous generation were more inclined towards a regionalist outlook, For me, this connection with Kannada and Karnataka is something I inherited from the social environment in which our family lived, rather than from caste or religious identity.

My family and I have no connection with Tamil or Tamil Nadu culturally, linguistically, or through our family roots. Our language, culture, and roots have always been connected to Karnataka and Kannada.

Now let's talk about Kannada Iyengars,

Kannada Iyengars have their own roots in Kannada Nadu. Hebbar Iyengars, in particular, have long-standing roots in regions around Bengaluru, Mysuru, Hassan, and Mandya. majority of Hebbar Iyengars consider Kannada their mother tongue.

For many Kannada Iyengars, the connection to Ramanujacharya is religious, not ethnic or linguistic. Around 1,000 years ago, Ramanujacharya came to Kannada Nadu, and our ancestors became his followers and adopted the Sri Vaishnava tradition.

more over, following the teachings of a spiritual leader born in present-day Tamil Nadu does not make us Tamil. Religious tradition does not determine our language, ethnicity, or regional identity.

Dear @TVMohandasPai,

It’s a pity that after serving the BJP and sangh loyally with your abusive tongue for more than 13 years, Modi hasn't given you a Rajya Sabha ticket.

Should we try to raise this issue more loudly so that Modiji feels pity and offers you an RS seat? We are more than happy to do so.

Yesterday, @IndianExpress reported an unprecedented rupture inside the Election Commission: TWO of its three members objecting on record, 14 times in 10 months, to decisions taken without their knowledge.

Today, the second part of our investigation looks at the concern Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi flagged most often: Who really controls our electoral rolls?

We followed that question to Goa, where we found something deeply concerning.
