@ReallySwara The difference is those 2 were jailed under NSA (UAPA) laws. Centre can easily claim those laws apply as they want. Then no bail is granted. Courts don’t want to go against executive for fear of being called out for interference. Sab changa si.
Ha ha ha.... Govt informs Parliament that Agriculture Minister of State Bhagirath Choudhary returns subsidy of Rs. 99 lakh he took for his own farm ... Returns subsidy after Indian Express expose 😁https://t.co/mu4w9W0GYK
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 All FIRs ought to be withdrawn.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!

@IndianGems_@KanganaTeam let’s reverse the implication and apply to you. Since you are so beautiful and honest, please go become a homemaker. Stop using your position as a MP for blabbering nonsense.
The RSS claims it needs no government funds since only volunteer donations sustain it.
An investigation by @Sachi_HN, @Jahnavi_R, @anotherayush, & @NeelMadhav___ found 20 Sangh-linked organisations received Rs 668 crore in CSR funds from ONGC, a state-owned oil company, over the last ten years.

Dear @DelhiPolice my person from Team Bharat is at the Parliament Street Police Station.
Your Police refuse to take the letter seeking for permission for the Gaadi March or refuse to give in writing why you won't accept our application for permission ?
You gave others permission, we have been disciplined but you refuse to engage with law abiding citizens!!

Point- Marijuana is illegal in India.
I have been telling you, time and again, that the Ministry of Ayush is the end of public health in India. A disgusting farce.
Ayurveda practitioners were pseudoscience peddlers. Now they are have a future also as drug peddlers.
Great career choice after BAMS degree. Do parents want their children to become these "doctors"?
Crazy excerpts:
"In under a minute, over a call, the ayurvedic doctor, who gave only his first name, prescribed not an over-the-counter medicine, but cannabis gummies, chewable candies infused with cannabis."
"Marketed as ayurvedic medicine and used by youth to get a ‘high’, cannabis products are now a booming business built on loopholes the government wrote into law."
"In India, cannabis prescribed for medical purposes falls under a system overseen by the Ministry of Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy (Ayush), which calls it Vijaya."
Ayurvedic "doctors" could prescribe cannabis products for medical use with no cap on psychotropic THC content in it, and companies could sell them as ayurvedic medicine.
The potency of cannabis sold is much higher than what is permitted in the USA. It sells in a range from Rs 900 to Rs 14,000.

If the harassment of students at the hands of the police continues, the Cockroach Janta Party will respond with a massive peaceful protest soon.
The Govt must stop targeting and witch-hunting students.
🚨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.
@MnshaP@ImAvdheshkumar This is fantastic reporting.
@RahulGandhi as lop, pls don’t let home min off the hook. Too much of gory stuff has been done in the name of law and order that all blood-stained fingers point back to him
@SwarajyaMag@TheJaggi Point well made. It requires also of Modi to come down from his exalted throne and start interacting with people in two-way comms and not one-way mann ki baats.
But your friend @sgurumurthy’s remarks are uncalled for. Why categorize the students as anarchists.
The Collapsed Prem Nagar Bridge in Dehradun:
I ask for accountability & heads to roll. We, the people of #Uttarakhand, should not tolerate this third grade quality of infra construction any more. Join me in asking Chief Minister @pushkardhami to take firm action at the highest levels, not sack some junior level JEs alone.
@prempanicker She was Marie Antoinette before the French had theirs. She was the arch devil before Christ battled his. She was shoorpanaka from the Vedic times.
@tehseenp Tehseen, any investigations around bjp or RSS links to ethanol producers? A prominent South based sugar producer told me that the procurement for blending is majority cornered by the “UP ethanol mafia” who in turn are promoted or benami of ruling party.
@PunsterX Supreme leader is the arch liar and deceiver. Everybody else he relies on is equally capable of the same. They should all be grilled by people non stop with questions until they stare at their own lies and hypocrisy and laugh their evil laughs.
@ndtv@sgurumurthy@ShivAroor Just because you guys won 36% of the vote (and 44% as an alliance) does not mean you become the representative of Hindus. You are criminals, power abusers, serial corrupters, myopic casteists and megalomaniacs.
