Members of right-wing organisations detained after they try to disrupt the Cockroach Janta’s Party’s protest at Jantar Mantar. Peek TV’s co-founder @agarwalvedanta confronts them.
Way back in 2019, I reported extensively about the Globarena Intermediate marks fiasco in Telangana.
In fact, I had run a major campaign on my media company Mojo TV. We were the first TV channel up pick the story too.
23 students died by suicide, I spoke with all their families and it was truly heartbreaking.
I remember one particular case where a single mother who worked as a farm labour was very proud of her bright daughter. The entire village came to support her education, everyone pitched in with books, commute and all expenses. When the Globarena marks mess up happened, she cried the whole night. Her mother told her it is okay, and she can go for reevaluation or write the exam again, morning the mother wakes up to see her daughter hanging in the middle of the house.
I had demanded blacklisting Globarena, arresting the officials. But I guess companies like Globarena are pests that never die, they just transform into something bigger and dangerous and come back to haunt.
Globarena now has become Coempt Edu Teck that messed-up the CBSE evaluation.
Globarena in 2019 messed up results of 9.74 lakh students in Telangana. Out of this total, approximately 3.8 lakh students failed. 23 suicides were reported. Back then too Globarena failed to provide the answer sheets.
After all this, Globarena transforms into Coempt Edu Teck, messes up the future of 18.5 lakh CBSE students across the country.
It is almost like they got rewarded for bad behaviour.
The officials who were giving approvals for CBSE just 74 days prior knew the history of Coempt Edu Teck. They knew the company is incompetent, but still decided to go ahead and give them the tender.
Yes, the Globarena/ Coempt Edu Teck guys are fabulous at landing tenders. The names and associations of Coempt Edu Teck board now seem to run pretty deep in the highest offices.
Unless the rot is burnt right from the root level, this won’t stop. All board members, directors, CEO, investors, government employees that tweaked the system to ensure Coempt Edu Teck got the contract should be dragged to the courts & never should be allowed near any business again.
But in this country that is so much in love with corruption, I doubt if this will ever change. Coempt Edu Teck may soon get the tender for all exams across the country.
PS: To all the students, one exam is not the end. Kudos to your fight. Keep fighting, never ever give up.
And if you are feeling low, speak with friends and family or reach out to any helplines.

🚨 SHOCKING! YouTuber Gulshan Pahuja has been sentenced to 6 months jail by Delhi HC for calling the judiciary "TAANASHAHI" & "MANMARZI" (Dictatorship & arbitrary rule) 🤯
He had openly said he expects "no justice" from the Indian judicial system.
He ran the channel “Fight 4 Judicial Reforms".
If even basic criticism of the judiciary lands you in jail, then let’s be honest, Rest in Peace, Free Speech in India.
Primeminister of India, Narendra Modi, would not take my question, I was not expecting him to.
Norway has the number one spot on the World Press Freedom Index, India is at 157th, competing with Palestine, Emirates & Cuba.
It is our job to question the powers we cooperate with.
🚨#WATCH: Chief Surya Kant’s comments have led to a nationwide outrage. Unfortunately for the institution, this is the not the first time he has made such remarks.
The clarification given today neither conveys regret nor apology.

🚨MUST WATCH: Please watch this video till the end and see what we are witnessing nowadays.
Think about what our kids will end up watching.
In the name of content, people are creating vulgar reels and shorts. The irony is that they are getting millions of views.
Let me just say one thing here - I care more about India’s progress than ENTIRE BJP combined.
One day you will realize this and regret supporting the wrong side. And, just to remind you, if I really cared about money, I would have joined BJP and ironically people like you would be licking my boots if that had happened.
His name is Mohammad Aamir Khan.
On the night of February 20, 1998, his mother asked him to buy medicines from a shop in Old Delhi. He was 18 years old.
He never made it to the shop.
Men in plain clothes stopped him on the street. He did not know they were police officers. They took him to an abandoned building. For seven days, he was held in illegal custody. He was tortured. He was forced to sign blank sheets of paper.
Then the Delhi Police Special Cell produced him in court and charged him with 19 counts of bombing across Delhi, Ghaziabad, Rohtak and Sonepat between December 1996 and October 1997.
He was presented to the media as a terrorist.
His family was never informed. They spent days searching police stations before finding out what had happened.
He spent 14 years in prison. Through torture. Through solitary confinement. He watched case after case fall apart in court as evidence was shown to be fabricated.
In 2012, he was acquitted in 17 of 19 cases. Two cases remain pending. He had already served more time in jail than the maximum sentence he could have received even if convicted on all charges.
He walked out of prison in January 2012.
His father had died while he was inside. His mother had suffered a stroke so severe she no longer recognised him when he walked through the door.
The National Human Rights Commission directed the Delhi government to pay him compensation.
The amount was Rs 5 lakh.
No officer from the Delhi Police Special Cell was charged. No one was suspended. No inquiry was ordered.
He wrote a book about what was done to him. He called it Framed As A Terrorist. My 14 Year Struggle To Prove My Innocence.
He now helps other wrongfully accused prisoners navigate the system that destroyed him.
India gave him Rs 5 lakh and called it justice.

I am saying this again, India is no longer a country for free and fair business, nor a land of creative freedom.
You invest your hard-earned money to build something from scratch, and suddenly 2-rupee Bajrang Dal goons show up at your doorstep to shut it down, just because you try to create a neutral space or say something that doesn’t fit their politics.
The attacks on Piyush Bansal and Namita Thapar will push a whole generation of entrepreneurs to leave India. Economic growth depends on a strong ecosystem, and when people don’t feel safe to build or speak, why would anyone stay?
On one side, Hindutva goons. On the other, what does the government offer? High taxes, constant Income Tax and ED notices, harassment of the very people trying to create jobs and value.
And let’s be clear, this doesn’t happen without political patronage. BJP cannot deny that these mobs are part of the ecosystem that benefits them.
You build something, and one day 100 unemployed goons can walk in and destroy it.
Is this the environment we want for business and innovation?
