Our Electoral democracy is compromised in multiple ways:
A lapdog ECI which is selectively removing & adding voters thru a corrupt & non-Transparent SIR.
EVMs which increasingly seem manipulated & ECI refusing to give source code of software in them.
Not counting VVPAT slips.
ECI not putting out voting figures of Form 17C in public domain.
Increasing the Votes declared after polls in next few days before counting.
Not providing CCTV footage of queues outside polling booths.
Arbitrarily rejecting nominations of opposition candidates.
Selectively enforcing model code of conduct only against opposition candidates.
Unfortunately, the Courts, particularly the SC is playing along with the govt & ECI in this throttling of democracy.
Judges should remember that going along with the govt in throttling democracy may secure them a promotion & post retirement jobs, but is creating increasing distrust & anger against them. They will go out in ignominy & will be insulted in public & by posterity. This is exactly what happened to judges who failed to protect democracy & rights in the past. On the other hand, judges who stood up are revered & worshipped. See Justice Khanna & Justice Krishna Iyer as some shining examples
Drop everything and listen in to 9.45 minutes of Leader of Opposition @RahulGandhi ji’s speech delivered at the INDIA bloc meeting on June 8th
“The Congress Party is a resistance movement protecting the idea that all Indians are equal.
If political parties can’t function, what functions? Resistance functions. Resistance works. Wherever we resist, it works.
I have seen it with my own eyes. I have walked 4,000 kilometres across this country - resistance works. You don't need political architecture. You don't need the bureaucracy. You don't need the intelligence agencies. You need the act of resistance — meaning: I will resist. I will not allow injustice. Full stop, the end. It is a spirit. It is not an organisation. It is a way of thinking - that is where we have to go.”
Pune has turned out in even bigger numbers than even Jantar Mantar.
Cockroaches won’t rest until we get justice .
How can transfer of CBSE officials be enough?
If the PM doesn’t sack his Education Minister, we can also transfer him!
पश्चिम बंगाल की एक सरकारी बिल्डिंग में आग लग गई, जिसमें 4,000 EVM जलकर खाक हो गईं।
इन EVMs का इस्तेमाल हाल ही में हुए विधानसभा चुनाव में किया गया था। ये घटना संशय पैदा करती है।
सरकार और चुनाव आयोग को साफ करना चाहिए कि आग कैसे लगी और वह नौवीं-दसवीं मंजिल तक कैसे पहुंच गई?
The Indian National Congress expresses profound grief at the loss of three Indian sailors off the coast of Oman as a consequence of the ongoing U.S. military operations in the region. Our statement :
Madam @navikakumar I’m aware comedy isn’t journalism. We are both funny, in VERY different ways. Here’s a fact, you posted asking people for their take. I responded with mine. Sometimes questions are followed by answers. I empathise, this seems like new territory for you. Anyway….imma bounce 🙏
Year 2012:
2 Italian Marines killed 2 Indian fishermen. They were arrested and brought to Kochi, criminal and terror case were run. India stood up against Italy and EU, case went to international arbitration. Finally in 2020, Indians Supreme Court closed the case as Italy promised to run a criminal case against them and paid ₹10 cr as compensation to the families of fishermen.
Year 2026
3 Indians have been killed by US, Modi remains silent. He is busy thanking Trump and ironically he questioned Congress on Italian marines. India was really a superpower during UPA.
If the Prime Minister is compromised, our foreign policy is compromised. Donald Trump exactly knows what Modi can do and what not.
— Rahul Gandhi Ji
Indians should never forget that when 3 Indians were killed by US missile attack, Narendra Modi was writing love letter to Trump.
Father of Aditya Sharma was once celebrating and saying Kudos to Israel for killing lakhs of innocent people in Gaza including children
Today he is pleading to return his son's dead body who got killed in US Navy attack in Oman
Life is so unpredictable, never celebrate other's loss just because you like one specific political narrative
You never know what is waiting for you in future
RIP Aditya Sharma 🙏
