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.
Modi deserves to be humiliated everywhere he goes.
He has not given a single press conference in 12 years since he became the Prime Minister. He fails to fulfill the basic transparency and accountability requirements of being a leader.
I would like to encourage foreign journalists from other European countries to ask him questions wherever they see him, just like @HelleLyngSvends did. Embarrass him so much that he is forced to show some accountability in front of people. You will be doing great service for India’s progress.
27 Lakh Voters were deleted in West Bengal.
These were not 'dead people' or 'bangladeshis'. These were real people who had already appealed to get their votes restored. The Supreme court could’ve delayed the West Bengal elections until the tribunals finished hearing the appeals of these voters. But they didn’t. Only around 1607 voters were restored in time by phase 2 of these elections. Almost every appeal that was heard turned out to be a wrongful deletion.
In any functional democracy, this would not count as a free and fair election where a large section of voters have lost their voting rights. I'm not saying that TMC would've won for sure if they were added back, maybe BJP would still win, but the question is about the fairness of these elections.
Free and fair elections are a spectrum. Ever since Delhi-Maharashtra-Bihar-Bengal, this needle has moved more and more towards being unfair. Each time somehow the opposition parties participate as usual in the electoral process thinking that they can still pull of a win despite the compromised EC, ED, CBI etc. and each time they have been proven wrong after 2024 Lok Sabha. The question is, at what point will they feel that the level of unfairness is so unfair that elections should be boycotted?
I personally feel TMC should have refused to participate in these elections until all those 27 lakh appeals were finished being heard.
Happy Iranian Teacher's Day
Iran's education revolution since 1979:
— Adult literacy: 47% → 97%
— Young women literacy: 42% → 98.9%
— ~60% of university students: women
— 70% in medical sciences: women
— Schools: 33,000 → 107,000
Many of you did not trust Sayed Ali Khamenei's wisdom throughout the years and came to regret it after he gave his life away.
Trust Sayed Mojtaba Khamenei's wisdom now.
The statement:
Shi'a Iran is attacking the Sunni Gulf States.
Is a deceptive statement.
The correct statement is:
Shi'a Iran is attacking American bases in Sunni Gulf States that have betrayed the Muslim ummah.
Can someone explain to me how is bombing hospitals, ambulances and schools in Iran is going to free Iran exactly? Unless the goal isn’t “freeing” Iran …
