Gianni Infantino en 2017 : « Les supporters et officiels d’une équipe qualifiée pour la Coupe du Monde doivent avoir accès au pays en question, sinon, il ne s’agit pas d’une Coupe du Monde. »
C'est fou comme le discours a changé en quelques années...
Fascists are fascisting in the open. No worries this won’t lose them any votes, in fact might win them a few more votes among their brain dead zombie fans
A leader’s word is final. None have seen devils and demons in his path,he alone knows what is right and what is wrong. Shut your doubts, silence your tongue, and follow the leader without questions.
A Brahmin student being called a 'Pakistani' by Modi Bhakts shocked and rightfully hurt many people across ideological lines, including several from the Right Wing itself. Because suddenly, people realised how dehumanising that label is.
But for years now, countless Indian Muslims especially those who speak up or question the government or criticise the PM are casually branded 'Pakistanis' or 'Bangladeshis' or a 'Rohingya'.
Our loyalty is questioned, our identity is regularly mocked, our citizenship treated as conditional.
And the society has normalised it so much that most people don’t even react anymore.
An insult that rightfully outraged people when used against a Brahmin student is thrown at Muslims every single day without guilt or an outrage, or without any consequences. No Indian should have to constantly prove they belong to their own country.
All thanks to the Media and the Politicians for Normalising this Hate against Indian Muslims.
Dear Sir,
Under Article 81 of the Constitution of India, the allocation of seats in the House of the People has remained frozen based on the 1971 Census. This constitutional freeze is set to end after the first Census conducted post-2026.
Once the freeze is lifted, reapportionment becomes inevitable. Every South Indian state - without exception - stands to lose relative representation compared to the northern states. That is precisely the concern we have consistently raised, and the very imbalance the NDA sought to address through the Delimitation Bill and a proportionate increase in parliamentary seats for all states.
Surely, a distinguished legal mind such as yours is fully aware of this constitutional position. Which raises an important question: why did the Congress party oppose the Delimitation Bill in Parliament? Was it political posturing at the cost of South India’s long-term interests?
The Congress party must answer the simple questions: under Article 81, as it currently stands, what happens after the 2026 Census? Does the South not lose relative representation vis-à-vis the North? If that is indeed the case, why oppose a constitutional mechanism intended to prevent precisely that outcome?
There are places we pass through in life… and there are places that become part of who we are.
Manchester will forever be my home.
To the city, the club, and every supporter, my sincerest thank you. These past four years have been unforgettable, filled with moments my family and I will carry with us for the rest of our lives. There simply aren’t enough words to describe the happiness and warmth we’ve felt here.
Thank you for every cheer, every memory, and for making us feel at home from the very first day.
Forever a Red Devil ❤️
The CJI’s reference to us as “cockroaches” suddenly reminded me of a line I had heard in my history teacher’s lecture on fascism.
“Fascism cannot be stopped by the courts, as the judiciary itself will become the strongest pillar of fascism.”
In the last 10-12 years, we’ve normalised Modi’s grotesque state election campaigning features to an extent where now nobody even questions why the sitting PM is on a boat in Hooghly midst a global crisis, burning Manipur, LPG shortage, migrant crisis, workers’ protest etc. etc.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
We have no right to laugh at Trump or America when this is what is going on in this country.
Trump would’ve loved to have a judiciary like India’s
#BREAKING Election duty officers move Supreme Court saying they themselves are not on West Bengal #SIR List
Se Adv MR Shamshad: These are 65 petitioners who are on election duty. Their duty orders mention EPIC numbers. Now those numbers are deleted. Now the persons conducting elections cannot vote ! This is on the face arbitrary. Many not given reasons.
CJI: Make these arguments before the appellate tribunal. Let the tribunal look into it
Justice Bagchi: Appropriate orders will be passed by the tribunal .. this election yes perhaps they can't vote. The more valuable right to remain on the rolls shall be preserved.
Now that the 131st Amendment Bill failed, allocation of Lok Sabha seats will be based on 2026 census data.
As per current estimates, seven States will likely lose 35 seats: AP (-5), Telangana (-3), TN (-10), Karnataka (-2), Kerala (-7), Odisha (-4), and WB (-4).
Four States will likely gain 34 seats: UP (+12), Bihar (+10), MP (+5), and Rajasthan (+7).
BJP is widely believed to be the potential beneficiary of redistribution of seats to States based on 2026 population.
In a stunning act of self-denial, the NDA government came forward to freeze the current share of States based on the 1971 census data. There could be many reasons for BJP committing to such a freeze - putting the nation above the party, paving the way for expanding their footprint in the South, or avoiding a divisive issue when the nation has to focus on growth and prosperity in the face of global challenges. Whatever be the motivation of BJP, the seven States that lost share of population are offered an unexpected gift. You don't look a gift horse in the mouth!
Surprisingly, the parties which have great stakes in the South and East have scored a spectacular self goal. This is a classic case of cutting the nose to spite the face.
In 2001, as the freeze in seats was expiring, I was deeply involved in persuading the then Vajpayee government to continue the freeze in the number of seats allocated to States for another 25 years. An unwieldy coalition and the economic challenge posed by external sanctions after the Pokharan explosion demanded national unity, and the parties responded with the 84th Amendment. Now again a priceless opportunity arose, and the Opposition squandered it without any strategic thinking.
If political animosity makes you oblivious of your own interest, or larger interests of fostering unity and focusing on growth and harmony, it is a sign of dysfunctional politics.
I appeal to all parties to come together and find a harmonious solution to the thorny problem of seats allocation in the face of demographic imbalances. National unity and our quest for opportunity and prosperity for all demand a fair and swift resolution.
In the long run migration will resolve the imbalances. Already millions of migrant workers are building and sustaining the economies of several States in the South, West and North. That is why, despite low fertility rate, Maharashtra's share of the population is increasing.
In the US, dramatic internal migration changed the demography and representation over the years. People move freely to States where there is growth and jobs are created. In a century, Florida increased its representation in the US Congress from 4 to 28, California from 11 to 52, Texas from 18 to 38, and Washington from 5 to 10. Owing to outward migration, New York lost seats, from 43 to 26, Pennsylvania from 36 to 17, Illinois from 27 to 17, Ohio from 22 to 15, and Missouri from 16 to 8.
We should make it easy for people to migrate to other States and recognize and respect their constitutional rights everywhere and make their life easier and safe. That will resolve our demographic challenges. Most states reached low fertility levels, and Bihar, UP, MP, Rajasthan and Jharkhand too are going to reach there in a few years.
We need a reasoned and pragmatic approach to grow together and become strong. Let us persuade parties to shed inflammatory and divisive rhetoric and focus on quality education and skills and opportunities for all.
On the Women’s Reservation Bill: read the fine print.
The BJP called for a Special Session in the middle of state elections, over two and a half years after the Women’s Reservation Bill was passed in 2023, only to confirm that it cannot be implemented without a Census and delimitation.
Let us be very clear:
We want the Women’s Reservation Bill to be implemented NOW. Tamil Nadu was among the earliest to implement reservation for women in local bodies.
Our concern is with delimitation, which requires careful thought to ensure it is fair, especially for southern states. We asked for consultation, clarity, and consensus. At the very least, the Bill could have been delinked and implemented.
The NDA could have delinked it. They chose not to.
They could have used this time to consult states on delimitation. They chose not to.
They could have addressed these concerns in the Bill. They chose not to.
This is not justice. This is not intent. This is optics.
Women in Tamil Nadu see through this.
Women across India are not a vote bank. They are watching.
The truth is simple: the BJP could have delivered. It chose not to.

மகளிர் இடஒதுக்கீட்டு மசோதாவைப் பொறுத்தவரையில், என்ன நடந்தது என்பதைக் கூர்ந்து கவனியுங்கள்.
“இரண்டரை ஆண்டுகளுக்கு முன்பு நிறைவேற்றப்பட்ட மகளிர் இடஒதுக்கீட்டுச் சட்டம், 2023”-ஐ மக்கள்தொகைக் கணக்கெடுப்பும், தொகுதி மறுவரையறையுமின்றி நிறைவேற்ற முடியாது என்பதை உறுதிசெய்யவே, மாநிலங்களில் தேர்தல் நடைபெறும் நேரத்தில் சிறப்புக் கூட்டத்தொடரைக் கூட்டினார்கள்.
மகளிர் இடஒதுக்கீடு இப்போதே உடனடியாகச் செயல்படுத்தப்பட வேண்டும் என்பதுதான் நமது நிலைப்பாடு. உள்ளாட்சிகளில் மகளிர் இடஒதுக்கீட்டை முன்னோடியாகச் செயல்படுத்தியது தமிழ்நாடுதான்.
எங்களுடைய கவலை என்பது, தென்மாநிலங்களைப் பாதிக்கும் தொகுதி மறுவரையறை மசோதா இத்துடன் உள்நோக்கத்துடன் இணைக்கப்பட்டதுதான். மறுவரையறை என்பது தென்மாநிலங்கள் பாதிப்படையாத வகையில் கவனத்தோடு செய்யப்பட வேண்டியது. அதனால்தான், அனைவரோடும் கலந்து பேசி, கருத்தொற்றுமையுடன் இதனைச் செய்யக் கோரினோம்.
குறைந்தபட்சம், தொகுதி மறுவரையறை மசோதாவையும் மகளிர் இடஒதுக்கீட்டையும் பிரித்திருக்கலாம். ஆனால், பா.ஜ.க. தலைமையிலான ஒன்றிய அரசு அதனைச் செய்யவில்லை.
இதேநேரத்தில், அவர்கள் மாநிலங்களுடன் தொகுதி மறுவரையறை குறித்து ஆலோசித்திருக்கலாம். ஆனால், அதனையும் செய்யவில்லை.
நாம் தெரிவித்த கவலைகளுக்குத் தீர்வு கண்டிருக்கலாம். அதனையும் செய்யவில்லை.
இது நீதியல்ல;
இது உண்மையான நோக்கமல்ல;
இது வெறும் காட்சிப்பிழை!
இதனைத் தமிழ்நாட்டுப் பெண்கள் நன்கு உணர்ந்துள்ளனர்.
இந்தியப் பெண்கள் வாக்கு வங்கி அல்ல. அவர்களும் பா.ஜ.க. நடத்தும் நாடகங்களைப் பார்த்துக்கொண்டுதான் இருக்கின்றனர்.
உண்மை எளிமையானது: பா.ஜ.க. நினைத்திருந்தால் பெண்களுக்கு இடஒதுக்கீட்டை வழங்கியிருக்கலாம். ஆனால், அவர்கள் வழங்கக் கூடாது என முடிவெடுத்துவிட்டனர்.

Sad day for Indian democracy.
Once again, Congress has betrayed the women of this country, like in the past, by their opposition to the Women’s Reservation Bill.
History will record this. And the women of India surely will make the Congress pay for this sin.
