In Bihar's Araria, a homeguard was made to do sit-ups as punishment and beg for mercy after he stopped an agriculture officer, asked for pass and checked his car. What an honourable way to thank Corona-fighters!

If you are from BJP IT cell, you can spread fake news, boast about it, never rectify your mistake and you will be fine. For anyone else, even falling for fake news can get you booked.
One of the biggest stars in the country is casually inviting more attacks on a woman who is already facing threats/intimidation from the right wing. Just another day in New India.
Dear
@DelhiPolice
, this happened in front of you. Can you explain how this is not a threat or instigation? According to the official list, out of almost 60 dead, most were Muslims. Obviously someone killed them?
Tejasvi Surya was elected from South Bengaluru after an allegation of assault by a woman who later had to delete her account. Why are we surprised that he doesn't respect women?
The reason why I did not feel empathy when he was getting trolled. People like Karan Johar always prefer staying close to the powerful instead of doing what's right.
International organisations must speak up for Zubair. There's no way there would have been any documentation of rising hate in India had
@AltNews
not been there. Be it mob lynchings, calls for genocide or the sophisticated way in which disinformation works in the country.
Salman Khan gets bail the second day. Other people don’t even get dates for hearing this soon. Those who were saying Salman is paying the price of being a star, should now see this privilege of being super wealthy and popular.
Scams during congress became big in public memory because news channels and papers were reporting it. No way for masses to find out now. The landscape has completely shifted.
If
#MunawarFaruqui
can be kept in jail for 24 days for a joke he didn't crack, I can be jailed for an article I didn't write or you can be jailed for a crime you didn't commit. Absolutely mind-boggling how the judiciary is behaving.
The Bihar government officer, Manoj Kumar, who made a home guard personnel do sit-ups and apologise to him for stopping his vehicle in Bihar’s Araria district, has been promoted.

Yesterday I saw Governor Vala walking out during National Anthem, today Yeddyurappa & others did the same. Don’t ever come to me again calling them ‘nationalists’.
#KarnatakaFloorTest
Both these pictures belong to the same person.
First one is of a week ago, second one is of 6 months ago.
He was from Ranchi and worked as a daily wage labourer in Ahmedabad.
He was admitted to a hospital after his video requesting help went viral.
He died on Thursday.
Can we stop calling everything a "Hindu-Muslim fight"? I don't see any Muslims lining up to fight for a mall here. It is a systematic campaign by Hindu extremists against a Muslim business owner.
Pending cases in Supreme Court because of the lockdown
-More than 150 petitions on Citizenship Amendment Act
- Challenge to the abrogation of Article 370
- Use of money bill route
But Arnab Goswami gets an urgent hearing for a stay against the FIRs filed.
So I just found out my Mom also turned off lights and stood near our balcony with a Diya. I tried understanding why she did that and her answer was — everyone in the society was doing it. How can we not? We have to live here.
And this is how such things spread — out of fear!
Umar Khalid arrested for Delhi Riots? May be just issue arrest warrant for everyone who took part in CAA protests and put us all in jail. That's possibly the only logic behind it.
I am not a qualified consultant but if any of the Indian Muslims here would be interested in knowing about the process of Canadian PR, you can ping me. My cousin & friend recently moved out & I did some research for them. Would be happy to share
P.S Consider moving out seriously
Attention: Since last Friday, authorities have started cutting more than 17000 trees in the Talabara forest of Odisha for opening Adani's Coal mine despite protests from local people. There is almost no media attention, Talibara is too far from Delhi or Mumbai.
कोरोना के समय फ़ैसला लिया था, स्टूडियो नहीं फ़ील्ड पर रहूँगी। आज 70 दिन हो गए। ऑफिस के दोस्तों से मिले हुए भी इतने ही दिन। पर खुद को आज़माने का मौक़ा भी है।

You can travel to another country as an Indian with your passport but it isn’t enough to prove your citizenship in your own country. You can get subsidy in your bank account with your Aadhaar but that doesn’t prove you are Indian. How messed up is this?
A few days ago hundreds of accounts on Twitter demanded a "repeat of 1984" anti Sikh riots and no mass disabling was seen on
@Twitter
. Today, they take down a bunch of dissenting voices without any clarification.
So Delhi hospitals are going to return patients if they can't provide residence proof in Delhi at the time of an EMERGENCY? Imagine someone goes to a nearby hospital but doesn't have a document, they will be refused to be treated?
1600 migrant workers, employed by L & T in Telangana, protested against the non-payment of wages. They alleged that the company completely ignored them during the lockdown.
By the way, L&T contributed ₹150 crore to PM-Cares!
Bold of
@ThePrintIndia
to publish this based on just a source, without accessing any documents and checking their legal validity. Must have a lot of trust on that source. Or are they saving the proofs for when

sues them?
I always say this - Aaj Tak is a bigger threat to people's sanity than Republic or Times Now. The latter are at least known to be bigots, Aaj Tak reaches to everyone in a town or a village and discreetly corrupts the mind.
@sonamakapoor
It's not anyone's 'Karma' or past life goodwill to be born where they are born. It's nobody's right to be privileged, some people just are. Do you think people who are born in underprivileged houses have done something wrong to deserve that?
"Khalistani" is one of the top trends in India at this moment, as farmers from Punjab march to Delhi in protest against the controversial farm laws. It takes one moment of asserting your civil rights for minorities to become anti-national in this country.
Work 60 hours, donate on top of the taxes you pay even if you have to sell off your jewellery. But the govt can spend 20 thousand crore on Central Vista and statues.
Today after breakfast at restaurant, I naturally went to pay.
Cashier hesitated to accept money. With great hesitation he accepted after insistence.
I told him that we are from BJP. A party that respects all and protects all. Not DMK to do roll-call even from small businesses.
@anky1912
Unlawful detention is not Karma, Ankita. Just think that the same charges could be used to jail you if you were present at Sushant's residence. Please stop encouraging the witch hunt.
Citing 'Humanitarian grounds'? You wouldn't have kept a pregnant woman in jail under a pandemic if humanitarian grounds mattered to you. You did it under public pressure.

For years a lot of us have criticised
@INCIndia
for not getting it right and for not doing enough. Must say everything since Bharat Jodo Yatra seems like a step in the right direction. And I am not saying this just because of Raghuram Rajan (although count it as a right step)
Jamia attacker went live on Facebook. Announced it to the world in his posts that he is going to Attack Shaheen Bagh. Ended up attacking Jamia and shot at a student. Imagine if Delhi Police took him seriously it could have been prevented. If there was a will..
#JamiaViolence
I am sorry for retweeting this but the kind of slander
#SafooraZargar
is facing must amount to legal proceedings of character assassination. It's as if being pregnant is criminal in this country now
Look at this picture! Look at the pain the family has gone through. And remember
#DrKafeel
was just one of the victims of
#BRDOxygenTragedy
. There are 3 more doctors and 4 clerks who haven’t come out yet. 8 months is a really long time for jail without bail.
#FarmersProtest2024
three more protesting farmers die taking the toll to 10 in 35 days into protests for legal guarantee of

, earlier over 700 farmers had died during previous struggle against

Yes, you can hold private hospitals responsible for profiteering but is anyone holding the govt responsible for the terrible state of hospitals run by them and the deaths due to lack of ICU beds and ventilators? We had ENOUGH time.
Never knew Amarinder Singh had such support among journalists. Not that I have anything against him, but I have grown wary of such open Twitter praises for politicians in the last few years.
Doctor’s association marches in solidarity with
#DrKafeel
and other jailed BRD Doctors seeking justice in the case from last 8 months.

@munawar0018
starts doing online shows. I will be happy to buy tickets for each and every show of his and I am sure many others would too. So tired of this right wing rein of terror and seeing artists give in to that.
You see people like her in every corner of the city and then ask what's the problem in spending 20 thousand crore on renovating parliament. India has millions in need of just food and shelter
I do not think Arnab Goswami is a journalist, but the way layoffs are happening in the media there will be a day when Republic would be the only channel left.
I am not at all surprised. Wish I had made a list of all the abuses and rape threats I get. And I am 100% sure the handles behind those would fall in the same category. One lot has made Twitter unbearable for women
Sunday survey...pick sexual harassers at random on twitter and count how many have "proud Hindu" / "proud Indian" / "hate enemies of country" / "vegetarian" in their bio. Also who their most recent RT is for. I promise interesting results.
Wait a minute! UP CM
@myogiadityanath
still says there oxygen supply was never disrupted & no deaths took place because of that. Then what are doctors doing in jail from last 8 months?
