I welcome the US court’s decision with humility and deep respect for the judicial process.
Throughout this challenging period, our faith in truth, fairness and the rule of law remained unwavering.
My deepest gratitude to those who never lost faith in us, in the system and in India’s capacity for justice.
We will continue doing what matters: building for our nation, creating value that outlasts us and serving a purpose larger than ourselves.
That is our commitment.
Jai Hind.
@Saurabh_MLAgk From AAP to PAPA — someone got a promotion 👏 congrats on the new portfolio !!
PAPA(in this context ): Permanently Angry Politician, Again. @Mrsinha

@RepRileyMoore : As a lawmaker, the least one expects is that you’ve actually read the FCRA amendments. The bill is religion-agnostic. And where a law is misused, every sovereign nation has the democratic right to amend it through its own parliament. So on this one — sit tight.
Christians have been in India since St. Thomas the Apostle traveled to the Malabar Coast just decades after the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
But despite this long Christian history, India’s Parliament is considering amending Foreign Contribution Regulation Amendment (FCRA) rules to permit government takeovers of churches and religious charities.
This is a clear attack against Christians. If this bill proceeds in this way, it would be a point of major concern in our bilateral relationship with India.
India didn’t tear up the Indus Waters Treaty. It just signed the death certificate on a treaty Pakistan spent 60 years killing.
Sharp piece by Vinay Kwatra, India’s Ambassador to the US:
→ 1960: India gets 20% of the basin’s water, Pakistan 80% — and India honors it for decades anyway.
→ Pakistan’s reply: three wars, an unbroken line of terror from Parliament to Mumbai to Pahalgam, and every Indian hydro project drowned in “dispute resolution.”
→ 2025: a day after Pahalgam, India holds the treaty in abeyance.
The kicker? Pakistan lets ~60% of its own water run to waste before it ever reaches a farm.
Abeyance didn’t break the treaty.
It just named what was already dead. Must read 👇👇👇
India just closed the gap beneath the map.
Great Nicobar Project gives it the strait. This gives it the insurance — so a London underwriting desk can’t decide when Indian oil moves.
Own the chokepoint. Own the paperwork that clears it. Same doctrine, one layer down.
Spain’s Supreme Court ruled this month that migrants intercepted at sea can’t be sent back to Morocco. Result 👇👇👇
Again this is triggered by”social media”posts by migrants who made it through encouraging others to try — especially minors, who know the legal protections in Spain are stronger.
Morocco didn’t send 40,000 of its own people into Ceuta and Melilla all at once, with no food or shelter, by accident.
They are using their people to take over Ceuta and Melilla.
Now they are breaking in homes, looting, and setting fires, while the people living there are helpless.
Pedro Sánchez has still refused to declare an emergency.
Sentiment is not statute. And a press conference is not a court order.
This post gets the law wrong at every step.
https://t.co/2GYv4qc59K government in India can “withdraw an FIR.” The only route is Section 360 BNSS — the Public Prosecutor applies, and the COURT consents. The statute also requires the victim to be heard first. The Centre pleaded 200+ injured police personnel. Those are victims with a statutory right of hearing. No cabinet promise overrides that.
2.State of Kerala v. K. Ajith (2021) is directly on point. The SC refused withdrawal of prosecution against sitting MLAs for damaging Assembly property, holding a legislator has no immunity and destruction of public property is no candidate for withdrawal. Same principle, same facts, different crowd.
3.Lalita Kumari (Constitution Bench, 2013): registration and investigation of a cognizable offence is mandatory, not discretionary. Quashing is a judicial act — Section 528 BNSS, Article 226, tested against Bhajan Lal. It is not a political deliverable.
4.“Cancel bail in their old cases instead” — this is the weakest line in the post. Cancellation under Section 483(3) BNSS operates on the EARLIER case. An offence committed on 20 July is a fresh, distinct offence with its own FIR, its own charge, its own trial. Antecedents aggravate a case. They have never absorbed one. There is no doctrine in Indian criminal law by which yesterday’s record swallows today’s crime.
5.Article 19(1)(b) protects assembly “peacefully and without arms” — that is the constitutional text, not a gloss. 19(3) permits reasonable restriction for public order. The right shields the protest. It has never shielded the offence inside it.
6.Politicised? Today the Court issued notice to the Union AND to Delhi, Maharashtra, Bihar, Assam, West Bengal, MP and UP — across party lines. It ordered a two-sided probe into police excesses AND attacks on police. It ordered CCTV, drone and body-cam footage preserved. That is not weaponisation. That is a court refusing to take anyone’s word for it.
The CJI put it plainly: uninvited guests enter a protest with their own agendas, then take over as hosts. Prosecuting those guests is not a betrayal of the students. Shielding them is.
The Supreme Court cannot be politicised for government’s gains. Its orders cannot be weaponised to achieve those gains. A solemn guarantee was given before the nation. Those ought to be honoured. All FIRs ought to be withdrawn. If criminals roamed, police must apply for cancellation of bail in their old cases. Must also answer why they were roaming so freely in society. But government can’t use this excuse to pursue FIRs so it can later target genuine protesters. If given this leeway, the government will, of course, use it.
The youth will NOT accept this at any cost! We will stand with each and every protester who stood up for each other’s future!
@Cockroachisback
@TheNavroopSingh@AmitShah@DelhiPolice Perfectly Valid point, especially given how many groups keep requesting to protest there. A designated site away from the Delhi Centre would save everyone the recurring gridlock.
Privacy is a fundamental right under Article 21 (Puttaswamy, 2017). It is not absolute.
The Supreme Court itself laid down that any restriction must satisfy:
1. Legality
2. Legitimate aim
3. Proportionality / necessity
Maintaining public order and identifying those who commit violence during a protest is a legitimate state aim under Article 19(3). The right to assemble peaceably does not include the right to stone-pelt, vandalise, or assault police officers.
Delhi Police’s use of cameras / facial recognition at Jantar Mantar is aimed at segregating the violent from the peaceful — exactly what any responsible police force does after riots or disorder. This is not “mass surveillance of dissent.”
It is evidence collection for investigation of specific offences under BNS (unlawful assembly, rioting, assault on public servants, damage to property).
Precedents exist:
• Delhi Police used facial recognition during CAA protests (2019-20) to identify those involved in violence.
• Similar systems are used in many democracies for post-event identification of offenders in crowds (UK, parts of Europe, US law enforcement).
Peaceful protesters have nothing to fear from being recorded. Those who throw stones or attack security forces do.
The State’s duty is to protect both the right to peaceful protest and the right of ordinary citizens and police personnel to safety.
Refusing tools that help distinguish the two is not constitutionalism — it is a demand for selective blindness.
The State does not “arbitrarily decide” who is peaceful. It investigates evidence of violence under the Constitution and criminal law — that is its core duty.
Article 19(1)(b) protects the right to assemble peaceably and without arms. Article 19(3) explicitly allows reasonable restrictions in the interest of public order.
The right is not absolute.
Under BNS:
• Section 189 defines unlawful assembly
• Section 191 covers rioting (use of force/violence by such assembly)
When stone-pelting occurs, police personnel are injured (reports of 50+ on July 20), vehicles are attacked, or public property is damaged, those acts fall outside constitutional protection. Supreme Court has repeatedly held that violent or disorderly demonstrations are not shielded by Article 19 (e.g., observations that stone-throwing and public disturbance are not protected speech or assembly).
Police and the executive assess facts through CCTV, body cams, videos, and investigation — the same process used in every other case of public disorder.
That is not “the government deciding who is peaceful”;
it is the State performing its constitutional obligation to maintain public order while protecting genuine peaceful protesters.
No cases against those who protested peacefully.
Existing FIRs (for violence, rioting, obstruction, damage) proceed on evidence.
“Withdrawal” is not automatic; it depends on the investigation and law.
Demanding blanket immunity for everyone who shows up at a protest, regardless of conduct, is not constitutionalism — it is a demand for selective lawlessness. Peaceful protest is a right. Violence is a crime.
The distinction is the State’s job.

So, does the government decide who were participating “peacefully” and who were not? If so, what’s the point of this promise? There should not be any case against peaceful protest any way.
Also, what about the 11 FIRs already registered? There is no reference to “withdrawal”
CJP started as a joke after the CJI called unemployed youth cockroaches. Two months later it's a sit-in at Jantar Mantar, a march on Parliament, and a claimed million members.
Its core demand is transparency — from exam boards, from ministries, from power.
Good demand. It cuts both ways.
CJP's own line: zero sponsors, zero corporate donors, no fees, no donations. If that's true, it's remarkable. Remarkable things get proven, not asserted.
Four questions:
1. What's the real daily footfall, and who is paying for the food, water and bulk deliveries at the site?
2. How do tents, sound, sanitation and round-the-clock coordination run for weeks on goodwill, with no public ledger?
3. Why stay unregistered and refuse formal donations — when registration and audited accounts are exactly what you're demanding of everyone else?
4. Will organisers publish itemised daily expenses and the source of every bulk order, so "no foreign or political money" can be checked instead of believed?
Open books would end this in a day. Right now the only evidence either way is assertion — CJP's.
If Transparency is CJP’s demand. Lead with it.

Plenty of evidence pointing to external financing and support from the start. It should be common sense that these are not merely student protests. Rather, this is a pathetic attempt at a color revolution which piggybacks on a select few genuine grievances, of which there are millions in any country. It’s a geopolitical and political issue. No protest sustains in the absence of money and political patronage. The “real” grievances are down to FCRA cancellations and the inability to win elections. Students, who have legitimate concerns of their own, are a convenient front to use yet of least importance to these foreign stooges.
Lawyers Collective — co-founded by Indira Jaising & Anand Grover — lost its FCRA licence in 2016 over MHA-alleged irregularities in ₹32.39 cr of foreign funds. CBI FIR filed 2019, raids followed. Seven years on, still unresolved.😡
NED’s own published books show FY24-25 South Asia spend: Bangladesh $3.6m then $2.9m, Nepal $1.7m, Pakistan $3.9m, Sri Lanka $1.3m, plus $2.5m regional. Their congressional testimony names Bangladesh and Nepal as “transitions” they intend to invest in. Their word.
Meanwhile 21,933 NGOs have lost FCRA clearance, over 16,000 of them since 2015. CPR, Oxfam India, the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation among them. The pipe got narrowed.
US wanted to see INC's back for sabotaging US interest in Nuclear Deal which is why you saw Kundakulum Protests on Russian reactors & Roosevelt house is master manupilation of Indian media. INC went too close to China by signing the MoU in 2008 and paid the price.
Same mistake what KP OLI did in Nepal in 2024 by signing up BRI agreement with China and Gen Z movement was engineered by Hami Nepal sponsored by NED & Open Society. Rajapaksa in Sri Lanka was also pro China so same revolution pattern.
Hasina also went to China and then Dhaka happened. Imran Khan went to Moscow and then Donald Lu happened. Modi signed RELOS with Russia giving it basing rights, doubling on Russian Oil and not agreeing to US terms.
RBI suggesting BRICS digital currency & settlement system interlinking & plus FCRA missionaries fund squeeze. So the whole NGO gang of 2010-11 is back in motion this time in the garb of students rights making the pawns in the whole game.
Today Modi is siding with Russian Oil, BRICS settlement system, not willing to sign trade deal on US terms & closing FCRA loophole for American missionaries so he is now target. Specially after Delhi & Bengal wins.
Modi was earlier targeted in Gujarat when Republicans cancelled his VISA as evangelist lobby in America protestes his Anti Conversion bill. R&AW officer B Raman wrote about this in Rediff
Student causes however genuine have been hijacked by Leftists elements who are looking to save their funding forwarding agenda of Washington DC .
It was the Modi Government that suspended Ford Foundation license in 2015 only to restore after Ford agreed to comply with Indian Laws. Wrote about this in my book Niti Shastra as well !
Today he is tightening FCRA laws, where a whole cottage industry that has survived for decades now faces extinction. But natural they will go for jugular to save their assets and its networks that American deep state sponsored.
Honoured to see the spotlight on the Skyroot team in the Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi's address during today’s inaugural Monsoon Session of Parliament.
His mention of our team’s average age—just 28 years—was a powerful reminder of what young Indian engineers can achieve when ambition meets opportunity.
We’ll keep building from India, for the world. 🇮🇳🚀

Some NEET candidates, who did badly, used AI to forge their answer sheets, turning a score of 95 into 522.
Then they took the fakes to protest sites and TV studios and called it a scam by the NTA (National Testing Agency).
A student fails, fabricates proof of a cover-up, and is treated as a whistleblower before anyone checks the document.
Parents go along with it. News channels air a crying student holding a sheet of paper without verifying a thing.
And the honest aspirant pays for it. When fake complaints flood the system, the real grievances get buried under the noise.
