The truth can never be suppressed for long. This government has spent unprecedented resources on a filthy campaign to malign my brother, to defame him and slap bogus cases on him simply for fearlessly telling the truth. It takes immense courage, tenacity and the perseverance of a true warrior to stand against an onslaught of lies the way he has. One by one the chips will fall. The truth will emerge clear and strong. This is just the beginning.

#Analysis Space sovereignty is national security In my latest for @TheDailyPioneer, I argue that global partnerships must strengthen India’s capabilities, not create strategic dependencies. #ISRO must remain the bedrock; private enterprise, the force multiplier. The door is ours, and so is the key. 🔗 dailypioneer.com/analysis/in… #SpaceSovereignty #NationalSecurity

#WATCH | Assam | Commissioner of Police, Guwahati, Dr. Partha Sarathi Mahanta says, "An unfortunate incident of firing took place today at around 9 p.m. at Hotel Hotel Bilas Inn in the Bora Service area of Guwahati. Six persons sustained gunshot injuries, and unfortunately, five of them succumbed to their injuries. One person is undergoing treatment, and the accused has been apprehended. The weapon used in the incident has also been seized. Interrogation is underway. Based on the preliminary investigation, we suspect that the incident stemmed from a property dispute related to the lease agreement of Hotel Hotel Bilas Inn. The investigation is still at a preliminary stage. The most important thing at this point is that an unfortunate incident of firing has taken place, five persons have succumbed to their injuries, and the accused named Ghanakanta Gogoi was apprehended within an hour of the incident. A scientific and thorough investigation is underway to bring the case to its logical conclusion. We will provide further updates as and when more information becomes available...Four of the five who lost their lives belonged to the same family, while the fifth person was from their village. The injured person is also from the same village... The incident appears to have resulted from a property dispute related to the lease agreement of Hotel Bilas Inn between the owner's side and the person who had taken the hotel on lease...The accused had taken the hotel on lease..."
