Also, data collected through RTIs by lawyer @socialjurist Ashok Agarwal shows the Delhi Government has managed to push students out of school in alarming numbers to show better #boardexam results.

Lol my name has been deleted 😭😭
No notice was served, No BLO visited my home. This process at least in Telangana was a real sham.
In the state of Telangana, the procedure and the guidelines of SIR was duly followed and enumeration forms (EFs)were distributed to all electors and filled in EFs were taken back and draft rolls were prepared after excluding the names from whom EFs were not received. The non-returned EFs consisted of persons who have died, permanently shifted, absent, duplicates. Out of total 3,38,26,448 Electors, in state of Telangana, 2,64,87,213 Electors have been included in the draft Roll.
73,39,235 Electors have been moved to ASDD Category, out of which, 57,46,803 Electors are Absent/Shifted, 9,22,229 Electors are in Dead category and 6,70,203 Electors are Duplicate Votes.The same were moved to ASDD Category. This was done only after House-to-House visit and due enquiry by BLOs and not done unilaterally. Also opportunity has been given to left out Electors during the period of Claims and Objections for filing their claims if any. Another opportunity by way of Special Camps on 15th and 16th, October, 2026 was taken up and ensured that *Every Eligible Elector is added and no ineligible elector remain in the Electoral Roll*. The whole process and procedures were duly followed.

The Bombay High Court has put on hold the "Leave India" notice issued to actor Imran Khan for joining protests against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, after the Union government assured the court it would take no coercive action against him.

Will you help me stop proposed rules that could put India's community dogs, wild animals and countless others at risk of painful laboratory experiments? We have less than 10 days to act.
The thought of a trusting dog or a monkey suffering in a laboratory breaks my heart. India is already advancing modern, non-animal science. We must move forward, not backwards.
Please join me. Animals cannot speak up for themselves, but we can speak up for them. ❤️

CJI of an allegedly secular & independence of institutions wala republic doing a Ganesh aarti with the Prime Minister, isspar toh ANI ke do shabd bhi nahi nikle. Nor does anyone question the association of ANI with the ruling party, but here she’ll act like some arbiter of ethics
#WATCH | When asked about his association with CJP leader Saurav Das, in an interview to ANI, Former Judge of the Supreme Court of India, Sanjay Kishan Kaul says, "...This was one year ago...He was a journalist; maybe met me a couple of times. He was insistent that I must come at Diwali time. I was going somewhere else. I said, "Okay, I'll drop in for 10 minutes." I told my wife, "Have a cup of coffee; I'll drop in for 10 minutes, and then we'll go." That's all...I was not mentoring him, but once or twice he met me. I told him that, you know, I'll always tell you to taper down a little in your language. That's my view, because we belong to a generation where talking is in far more civil language when it happens...I think people need to draw a couple of steps back on the language. At least for people of our generation, we are not used to that language. Okay, so it hurts at times...I wouldn't like to advise them in any way. Tomorrow you'll have a news story that I'm advising them..."

There needs to be a trial. Accountability has to be fixed.
Eroding democratic guardrails isn't an "oopsie" kinda mistake.
📺 “We reported events one-sidedly for years”: Serbian TV apologizes to viewers after Vučić's party loses the election
Radio Television of Vojvodina (RTV) opened its news broadcast with footage of celebrations following the Student List's election victory — scenes it had failed to show the previous evening.
“For years, we failed to fulfill our duty. We kept silent, turned a blind eye, reported events one-sidedly, and failed to ask the necessary questions. For that, we owe our viewers an apology,” news anchor Goran Eror said.
Following the controversy, RTV's acting editor-in-chief Nenad Čačić resigned.
A similar incident occurred in Hungary, where state television also apologized to viewers after Viktor Orbán's election defeat.

Lol. Had Rahul Gandhi accepted this 'gift' by @Memeghnad, BJP would have sent 8-10 Spokespersons to give a press conference on the incident. ANI would have reached out to 20-25 BJP leaders for their comments on the video by now. 😂😂

Tata is being criminally destroyed, and no business leader dares say a word.
How long will you stay silent? Until they own you?
Indian business is not Modi and Shah's plaything. You lack courage. We don't. We will ensure justice for these crimes.

दिल्ली के त्रिलोकपुरी में आज SIR को लेकर जनसुनवाई में वोट चोरी के जीते-जागते सबूत देखकर आया हूं।
हैरान रह जाएंगे! सिर्फ़ 4 बूथों पर 416 वोट काट दिए गए। बिना किसी जायज़ कारण के, ग़ैरक़ानूनी तरीके से।
इसीलिए हर बूथ का ऑडिट ज़रूरी है। तभी BJP-EC की वोट चोरी का असली पैमाना सामने आएगा।
ज्ञानेश कुमार जी, जितना छिपना है, छिप लीजिए। जाना तो पड़ेगा ही।

🧵Saw most of the new Musk documentary. You should see it. It is frightening. The woman he was seeing at the time of the 2024 elections with whom he had a child suggests that he suggested he may have done something with Starlink in the US 2024 elections, (beyond bribing people).

This is proof that Modi Govt is giving bulk suspension orders to Instagram.
They are not even bothering to check individual posts, just blindly blocking posts left and right in mass.
Instagram removes the reel posted on LiveLaw's official page about the ECI's affidavit in the #SupremeCourt.
The reel, which was only an explanation of the ECI's version, was removed by Instagram saying, "We received a legal request to restrict this content".
There is no explanation how the reel (instagram.com/reel/De_dnDnOW…) violated any law.
