Rubio goes to Mumbai. The US DOJ releases a picture of Epstein and Puri. Dear BJP and RSS workers, which anti-national traitor do you think they're blackmailing? रुबियो मुंबई पहुँचे। US DOJ ने एपस्टीन और पुरी की तस्वीर जारी की। प्रिय BJP और RSS कार्यकर्ताओं, आपको क्या लगता है - ये किस देश-विरोधी गद्दार को ब्लैकमेल कर रहे हैं?

Modi did nothing despite knowing fully well about Hardeep Puri's close ties with known international pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Truly disgusted by the latest revelations proving that Puri met Epstein in the same rooms where Epstein carried out his heinous crimes. Modi-Shah's complete silence and inaction on this only points to their criminal indifference to such allegations against their own Cabinet Minister. What can women expect from a Government that shields and nurtures a man with close ties to the worst sexual predator known to human civilisation? There is also an urgent need for PM Modi to speak up on this issue, because US President Donald Trump has also declared that India and US are extremely close to signing a trade deal. Do these revelations have any bearings on the final contours of the deal? Given how lopsided the previous deal was, there is every chance that the Compromised PM will once again surrender India's interests to shield himself and those close to him.

The RSS is an al male anti-constitutional cult that believes women are the property of men. I believe in Shiva-Shakti. That's why it gives me such joy to fight them. What's beautiful is that many of their “own” women are on my side.

Had an in-depth conversation with The New Indian Express on the boiling political situation in our country today. Our democracy is facing an existential crisis. The Vote Chors are out to destroy the Constitution and usurp power by rigging elections. This has enraged the entire country and will be the death knell of this regime. Our fight is genuine, and doors are open for all sincere forces to join together in this battle to save India’s democratic soul.

BJP ने गोवा को अपने हाई-टेक भ्रष्टाचार से Piggy Bank बना कर रख दिया है। इस बार गोवा की जनता इस मॉडल को ज़ोरदार तरीके से तोड़ेगी।

Shocked and stunned at the news of a horrific stampede at a Durga Puja celebration in Kolkata, West Bengal. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. I urge all Congress workers to support the administration in rescue efforts in this time of crisis.

In a functional democracy, the Opposition seeks to replace the regime through institutional mechanisms such as free and fair elections, a free media, and the mobilisation of public opinion. The BJP wants to capture institutions and remain in power forever, as its leaders have declared several times. This is a regime that seeks to defy public opinion and stay in power forever. The people of India will remove this regime from power. The violation of democracy lies not in seeking a change of regime, but in the intent of a regime to stay in power forever by hook or by crook.

Delhi Police is refusing to register an FIR on the assault of our students. Two young women, Athira from Kerala and Ritu from Rajasthan, along with many others, were beaten by Delhi Police. I have spoken to Kerala Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala and Rajasthan PCC President Govind Singh Dotasra. A Zero FIR has already been registered in Kerala. We will pursue every legal route against the officers responsible, in Kerala, in Rajasthan and in the courts. Brutality by Amit Shah's Delhi Police will not go unchecked. In 1930, at Dharasana, Sarojini Naidu led unarmed satyagrahis into police lathis. Not one of them raised a hand. The world watched. Police can break bones. They cannot break a satyagraha. India's youth, especially young women, are fearless, determined and united. They are standing up for our democracy, and I stand with them.

Mr Rubio has summoned his employee to Mumbai. Modi ji, your officials in the External Affairs Ministry are confused about what's going on. You might want to explain. Unless, of course, you want me to.

Gyanu, it’s not enough bro. You must resign and turn approver. The damage you have done under Modi-Shah’s instructions will not be undone by now doing a U-Turn via notification. We have been demanding machine readable voter rolls since 2025. Transparency is the bare minimum, not something that absolves you of past crimes. The massive vote chori that has disenfranchised 13 crore Indians is an act of treason. You must step aside and there must be a wholesale reform in the electoral process, beginning with a reversal of the dubious SIR and a change in the EC’s appointments process. Too little, too late.
Not sure whether the ongoing protests by political parties, students’ organisations and civil societies will culminate in the resignation of CEC Gyanesh Kumar but the impact is already seen in the functioning of the poll body. Changes in SSR 2027: 1. Soft copy of electoral rolls in readable format to political parties. 2. Additions, depletions and modifications lists will also be shared with political parties. 3. Soft copy of electoral rolls in readable format to be shared with contesting candidates. 4. Weekly list of claims and objections will be shared with political parties. Though more needs to be reformed in ECI, this is a first step towards greater transparency in the making of electoral rolls.

Today, the Public Accounts Committee examined the Pre-Matric and Post-Matric Scholarships for SC students. The audit found students waiting up to 48 months for Pre-Matric dues and up to 89 months for Post-Matric dues, with some receiving nothing at all. Income and caste eligibility went unverified, and payments reached non-SC beneficiaries while eligible children waited. The Chief Secretaries of 6 of the poor-performing States were summoned to give oral evidence. None of them appeared. The Committee has taken serious note of this as contempt and will bring it to the notice of the Hon'ble Speaker for action under the privilege rules. For a Dalit child, a scholarship decides whether the classroom stays within reach. The PAC treats the delivery of social justice as a constitutional obligation, and it will hold every State and Ministry accountable until every eligible student receives what is due to them.

Along with Hon’ble INC President Sh. Mallikarjun @kharge ji, LOP Sh. @RahulGandhi ji and Smt. @priyankagandhi ji, met with the brave members of NSUI, IYC and Seva Dal who were at the frontline of our protests against Vote Chori. They are the life and soul of our party who put everything on the line and fought against this fascist regime. As Rahul ji has said, these Babbar Shers are leading the fight to defeat this regime and their fearlessness is an inspiration for many.

पंजाब में नशे के ख़िलाफ़ आवाज़ उठाना अब जानलेवा हो गया है। और यह भगवंत मान की AAP सरकार के राज में हो रहा है। मानसा: 'नशा रोको, रोज़गार दो' अभियान चलाने वाले परविंदर सिंह झोटा को दिनदहाड़े गोली मार दी गई जो एक फ़ेसबुक लाइव पर साफ़ दिखी। संगरूर - मुख्यमंत्री का अपना ज़िला: मज़दूर गुलज़ार सिंह ने मंत्री के सामने गाँव में नशे का सवाल उठाया। परिवार का आरोप है कि उसके बाद उन पर माफ़ी माँगने का दबाव डाला गया। उन्होंने अपनी जान दे दी। संगरूर: नशे के ख़िलाफ़ बोलने वाले मोहनजीत सिंह पर हिरासत में यातना के आरोप - मामला अब हाईकोर्ट में है। और झोटा की कहानी में एक बात और है। जब उन्होंने शिकायत की, तो FIR हुई और पुलिस ने बाद में झोटा को भी बुक कर दिया। जिस सरकार में शिकायत करने वाला भी मुलज़िम बन जाए, वहाँ नशे के सौदागर बेख़ौफ़ क्यों न हों? CM भगवंत मान जवाब दें: नशे के ख़िलाफ़ लड़ने वालों की हिफ़ाज़त कौन करेगा? पंजाब के युवाओं का भविष्य तबाह करने वाले इस नशे के साम्राज्य को ख़त्म किए बिना कांग्रेस चैन से नहीं बैठेगी।

सुबह के 4 बजे। जब दुनिया सो रही थी, तब अंकिता भंडारी के माता-पिता को हिरासत में ले लिया गया। उनका गुनाह? वे इंडिया गेट पर चुपचाप बैठे थे - बोझिल कंधों के साथ, बिना किसी हंगामे के और सिर्फ़ इतना माँग रहे थे कि CBI जाँच पूरी होने तक दुष्यंत गौतम को सिक्किम का राज्यपाल न बनाया जाए। कल मैं और प्रियंका इन माता-पिता से मिले थे। जिस जाँच का नतीजा आया नहीं, उसके पहले ही नियुक्ति की जल्दी और सवाल पूछने वाले माँ-बाप को रात के अंधेरे में उठा लिया गया। इस सरकार की पहचान यही है: पीड़ितों की आवाज़ दबा दो, सवाल करने वालों को हटा दो। पर न्याय की लड़ाई न दबेगी, न रुकेगी। कांग्रेस अंकिता भंडारी के परिवार के साथ खड़ी है, और खड़ी रहेगी - जब तक उन्हें न्याय नहीं मिलता। #JusticeForAnkitaBhandari

BJP se Beti Bachao. That is the real warning for every girl in this country. Today, along with LOP Sh. @RahulGandhi ji and Smt. @priyankagandhi ji, we stood in full solidarity with the family of Ankita Bhandari. The family is in deep pain as it becomes clear that the entire Modi-Shah machinery is in complete support of Dushyant Gautam, the ‘VIP’ who they allege was at the centre of the entire horrific incident. Today, he has been appointed as a Governor and given immunity from prosecution. We urge the Hon’ble President of India to urgently intervene in this decision and avoid this grave insult to Ankita Bhandari’s family from being perpetuated. For 4+ years, the CBI case has also dragged on because the accused involved are high-and-mighty BJP leaders. The women of Uttarakhand and the whole country will punish BJP severely for this. How cruel do you have to be that you reward a person at the heart of a rape scandal by making him a Governor? This is of course a deeply humiliating insult for Ankita Bhandari and her parents. But it is also an insult to the Constitution. Someone so tainted being made a Governor diminishes the stature of the post and the Constitution itself.

Met the brave NSUI girls who were brutally assaulted by Delhi Police at yesterday’s NSUI agitation when they were simply protesting peacefully against Vote Chori. This is the true dastardly face of Amit Shah’s police force, which chooses to meet peaceful Satyagraha with brutal violence. Each wound they have suffered is a mark of Modi-Shah's cowardice, who cannot tolerate a simple peaceful protest in defence of our democracy and the Constitution.
