Asithanthi @Sithanthi

You sick sick lady you defended “power broker” @HardeepSPuri . There is a special place in hell waiting for you Godi anchors who literally sold their souls to the BJP.

Happy Birthday Dear Home Minister @AmitShah, may you live a long and healthy life to enjoy the legal punishment for your miss deeds and crimes in office. #HBDayAmitShah

@ShashiTharoor @SauravDassss What can you @SauravDassss expect from the author of ' Why I am Hindu' and be in today's political life? If the ' vote' is turning saffron, it's a miracle of the non biological political men of India.

Mamata Banerjee’s constituency: 51k votes deleted. She lost by 15k. M.K. Stalin’s constituency: 1 lakh votes deleted. He lost by 9k. Arvind Kejriwal’s constituency: 40k votes deleted. He lost by 4k. Was this the real reason behind the introduction of SIR? x.com/PTI_News/statu…

🚨IMPORTANT NEWS🚨 Since Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar is in the news, I have some very important but sad news to share about a Supreme Court judge. Supreme Court judge Justice Satish Chandra Sharma. Just two months away from retirement. If you remember, the Allahabad High Court had imposed a penalty on Medha Roopam, the DM of Noida and daughter of Gyanesh Kumar with a fine of five lakh rupees for irrationally issuing NSA order against a student Activist for Noida labour protest. That order was challenged before the Supreme Court of India. Live Law, the news portal, reported that Gyanesh’s daughter’s case was listed before Justice Satish Chandra Sharma out of turn and in violation of the Supreme Court roster and rules and convention. The challenge ought to have gone before Justice Nagarathna’s bench, known to be an independent upright judge. Two days back, when the matter was listed for hearing, Justice Sharma‘s bench switched off the audio of the Supreme Court proceeding, which is highly unusual and almost never done. ALARMING. There was no explanation from the judge’s side as to why this extraordinary favour was done for Gyanesh’s daughter. In any case the fine and the adverse remarks of the Allahabad High Court were stayed by Justice Sharma immediately. Same day, in another case related to Gyanesh Kumar—the constitutional challenge that was filed against the 2023 law on election commissioners of India was finally decided by a two judge bench of which Justice Sharma was a part of. Under challenge was the appointments procedure where the leader of opposition today holds only an ornamental seat in the Three-member selection committee that selects Election commissioner of India. The other two are PM and his Cabinet Minister. Justice Sharma dissented which led to a split verdict and the case has now been sent before the Chief Justice of India for constituting a larger bench. This has delayed the case by years probably. This split verdict itself came after three years. This is how the Supreme Court refuses to hear most important cases that affect our lives and the country. A separate blanket immunity granted to past and present election commissioners of India by Modi’s government is also pending for last 9 months before CJI Surya Kant. Today, the Chief Election Commissioner has been exposed for gross illegalities and for stealing votes and elections at the behest of powers that be. Any sane, sorted, neutral, just person can see that the selection process of ECIs is not independent and tilted in govt’s favour. But not Justice Sharma. And here’s the big news: his son holds not one, not two, but four big, plum government counsel panels, including income, tax department, GST, customs, and excise, and a Madhya Pradesh government lawyer panel. I need not explain the great perks and influence that come along when you hold such plum government panels. Read my Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma report where I exposed the same thing. I am withholding the name of the son for now. The important question is: how can a judge be expected to do impartial and fair Justice in politically sensitive cases if his family members serve at the pleasure of the government? The judge is also retiring two months later, and several lawyers have informed me that there are vacancies in NCLAT and other search plum tribunals. I’M SORRY TO SAY such a system of judiciary does not inspire confidence in its ability to do impartial justice. There is a reason why the ethics code for judges require them to maintain a sense of aloofness and not do anything which can harm the their image and that of the judiciary. Both in Justice Swarna Kanta’s case and several other judges case, including that of the Supreme Court, it is TRAGIC to notice the complete capture of the institution of the Indian judiciary. Can the judiciary go on like this?

Modi ji, roll back the UPI tax. Now.

@abhijeet_dipke Probe Ashram schools, who are the people running these schools? Ethnic cleansing are of different forms in our society like forced family planning on aadivasi women and killing them with unsterilized injections.

One guy is looting money by forcing Ethanol Another is land grabbing for his real estate empire One is making money from leaking exam papers Another is looting by selling the Nicobar Island Top to bottom, everything is corrupt and compromised in this Modi govt.

I spent the last two months pursuing the prestigious Chevening South Asia Journalism Fellowship at the University of Westminster, London. I'm so grateful for the lessons, the reflections (both on self and journalism), the camaraderie and for being able to feel hopeful again.

@suhasinih Haha why does the term' Indian tradition' immediately evoke such strong feelings like it means ' sacredness' , Norway PM was making a joke of our tradition, couldn't you all get it? @suhasinih @NorwayPM

How much of the RSS ideology has influenced India's Foreign policy?

He's not wrong. But it is so sad to hear a senior ruling party official make this point appealing to a bunch of Americans, that too in public. India is literally the largest country on earth. Bizarre that the GoI would have this sort of subservient foreign policy.

He should hang his head in shame! If he did have some shame, he would have avoided so much of the unwanted circus in the India US relations. After Namaste Trump only brickbats and sticks for Vishwaguru!
