Right now, MPs and leaders of the INDIA alliance are peacefully heading to Gandhi Smriti on Tees January Marg.
We go to remember the students we lost - the children driven to take their own lives after the NEET paper leak.
And we go to stand with the students who lie injured today - beaten for peacefully demanding justice and accountability.
India’s students are not alone. The entire Opposition stands with them and their demands.
अभी, INDIA गठबंधन के सांसद और नेता शांतिपूर्ण तरीके से तीस जनवरी मार्ग पर गांधी स्मृति जा रहे हैं।
हम उन छात्रों को याद करने जा रहे हैं जिन्हें हमने खो दिया - वे बच्चे जिन्हें NEET पेपर लीक के बाद अपनी जान देने के लिए मजबूर होना पड़ा।
और हम उन छात्रों के साथ खड़े होने जा रहे हैं जो आज घायल हैं - जिन्हें न्याय और जवाबदेही की शांतिपूर्ण मांग करने पर पीटा गया।
भारत के छात्र अकेले नहीं हैं। पूरा विपक्ष उनके और उनकी मांगों के साथ खड़ा है।
VIDEO | Patna: On the arrest of the main accused in the Bunty Yadav murder case following a police encounter, Patna SSP Kartikey Sharma says, “A few days ago, an abduction case was reported in which the victim’s body was later recovered. Police have been investigating the case, identifying and arresting those involved in the crime. The main accused, Ravish alias Basiya, was also being traced, and raids were being conducted at various locations to apprehend him. During the investigation, police received information that he was coming to Patna to collect money before fleeing to Nepal. We received specific inputs that he was arriving by boat from the Vaishali side and was heading to Patna to collect money and escape to Nepal. Accordingly, police intensified the operation and began checking at the river ghats. When the police vehicle reached the spot, it came face-to-face with him. He opened fire at the police, and a bullet hit the police vehicle. Police asked him to surrender, but he refused and attempted to fire again. In retaliatory action by the police, he sustained a bullet injury to his leg. He is currently undergoing treatment, and a separate case will be registered for this incident, following which further legal action will be taken.”

बिहार के एक अति महत्वपूर्ण ऐतिहासिक स्तूप पर चढ़कर नये साल का जश्न मनाते लोगों को देखकर रोमानियाई मूल के अमेरिकी साहित्यकार एली विज़ेल की बात याद आयी- स्मृति के बिना कोई संस्कृति नहीं होती. स्मृति के बिना कोई सभ्यता नहीं होती, कोई समाज नहीं होता, कोई भविष्य नहीं होता.
दार्शनिक जॉर्ज संताना ने कहा है- बिना स्मृति का देश विक्षिप्तों का देश होता है.
कला इतिहासकार बीएन गोस्वामी कहते थे- इतिहास के बिना कोई देश ऐसा ही है, जैसे बिना स्मृति के व्यक्ति.
फ़िल्मकार लुई बुनुएल ने आत्मकथा में लिखा है- इस अहसास के लिए कि स्मृति ही हमारे जीवन को बनाती है, आपको धीरे-धीरे अपनी स्मृति को खोना होगा. स्मृति के बिना जीवन कुछ नहीं होता, जैसे अभिव्यक्ति की संभावना के बिना बुद्धिमत्ता कोई बुद्धिमत्ता नहीं होती. हमारी स्मृति हमारी संबद्धता है, हमारा तर्क है, हमारी भावना, यहाँ तक कि हमारी सक्रियता है. इसके बिना हम कुछ भी नहीं हैं.
A few years back, In one of the court hearings that I was forced to attend, We saw this old couple doing the rounds at a high court. They carried files and papers of many years. The weight of the files represents the years they spent pleading, begging and seeking justice. Over the years, the burden and weight is such that they pull it along on a wooden trolley. They hold each other's hands tight as they fight another battle, another date, another adjournment, year after year. This is the best example of our justice delivery system which is lax, insensitive and lacks empathy.
For students who want to invest themselves in social change, impact lives whilst perusing a successful career, Law is the best option. Choosing law is choosing to be the voice for people such as this old couple. To fight for justice where injustice reigns. As a lawyer, you don’t just change laws—you change lives. You stand in the gap for the marginalized, protect the vulnerable, and challenge the status quo. Law isn’t just a career; it’s a mission to shape a fairer world, where every individual, no matter their background, has a chance at justice. The ripple effect of your work will touch families, communities, and entire societies. Law gives you the power to leave an indelible mark on humanity's fight for equality.
PS. This picture was taken by colleague of mine when we were at the court.
VIDEO | "The visit of PM Modi is coming at a time when we are probably trying to have a balance between Russia, with whom we are close... and PM was there in July, and United States with whom the Defence Ministry of the country is presently there; and then PM going to Ukraine, signals that India wants to reach out to all the key stakeholders in this matter. Having said that it's important that the war should end, and this regard the PM has made certain statements in which he has specifically said that we want peace, we want conciliation and tranquility, in this regard I believe his visit will also lead to a situation where probably India can be a mediator... because both Russia and Ukraine have a soft corner for India," says BJD MP Sasmit Patra (@sasmitpatra).
Winning and losing happen in life.
I urge everyone to refrain from using derogatory language and being nasty towards Smt. Smriti Irani or any other leader for that matter.
Humiliating and insulting people is a sign of weakness, not strength.
पाँच लाख करोड़ की ज़ब्त हेरोइन ग़ायब !
ये कैसे हो सकता है? धर्म की राजनीति के दौर में हेरोइन का धंधा और नशा कौन कर रहा है? पाँच लाख करोड़ देख कर लगा कि ग़लती से ख़बर छप गई होगी मगर हेडलाइन के बाद ख़बर में भी यही लिखा है। और दूसरी जगहों पर भी ख़बर छपी है।
