Arguing that dogs should remain on the streets often ignores who suffers most from dog attacks- children, the elderly, sanitation workers and the urban poor. Not the elites living in gated communities. (1/n) Letting dogs roam free isn’t compassion. Life on the street is brutal with injuries, disease, abuse, and starvation. It’s cruel for humans and for the animals. (2/n)

ये वो लोग हैं जो बिल्किस बानो के आरोपियों को रिहा करवाते हैं,

ये वो लोग हैं जो विश्वविजेता महिलाओं को का शोषण करने वाली चैंपियन पहलवान बेटियों तक पर अत्याचार करने वालों को संरक्षण देते हैं,

ये वो लोग हैं जो हाथरस में बलात्कार पीड़िता के शव का ज़बरदस्ती दाह संस्कार करा देते हैं,… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ये लोग हर विषय को चुनावी राजनीति से जोड़ कर देखते हैं, ये लोग कार्यवाही तक के लिए जनआक्रोश का इंतज़ार करते हैं, इन लोगों में ना संवेदनशीलता है और ना ही दीन और ईमान।

और इनकी सबसे बड़ी ताक़त है मुख्यधारा की मीडिया का संरक्षण जो किसी भी विषय को जनता के बीच मुद्दा ही नहीं बनने देता।

Major changes sweeping through Noida channels as they perceive winds of change. One hate spewing anchor has been sacked and his boss was not given a raise- the only one in the network. This despite the anchor trying to desperately show that he had the support of some powerful… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Also a major Hindi channel that had hired the biggest Bhakts to increase TRPs is now grappling with worse than ever TRPs so a major reshuffle is on the cards there as well. Karnataka elections was the last example of the inability of Noida channels to set narrative and agenda.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

पंजाब में हुई गिरफ्तारी से नोएडा एंकर्स व्यथित हैं!
पर यह वही रास्ता है जो भाजपा ने सरकारों को दिखाया है, कैसे सिद्दीक़ कप्पन जैसे पत्रकारों को महीनों जेल में रखो, स्वतंत्र मीडिया संस्थाओं पर रेड करो, रस्सी को साँप बना कर फर्जी मुकदमे करो और अभिव्यक्ति की आज़ादी को समाप्त कर दो। आज जो भावना के साथ हो रहा है वो देश में ना जाने कितने पत्रकारों के साथ हुआ है। किसी की नौकरी छीन ली गई, किसी को जेल भेजा गया, किसी की जासूसी कि गयी तो किसी को सोशल मीडिया पर निरंतर अपमानित किया गया। सच बोलने की क़ीमत हर पत्रकार चुका रहा है और यह रास्ता भाजपा का ही दिखाया हुआ है।

Devendra Fadnavis says the attempt to blackmail his wife was was a part of a political conspiracy. Some questions for @Dev_Fadnavis ji- Did opposition party leaders force your wife to befriend the daughter of a notorious bookie? The bookie was wanted by the police for several years. The story says your wife befriended her in 2014. You were Chief Minister then. The girl had access to your residence too. Did opposition party leaders make you ignorant of the girl and her father’s antecedents?

No other leader in Indian politics has been trolled, abused and wrongly and deliberately misquoted as Rahul Gandhi. From newsrooms to paid troll armies, a campaign was launched to destroy his reputation & make him a subject of ridicule. Every journalist in Delhi knows this well. You could have an opinion on whether he is or isn’t a good leader or whether he makes for a good politician but the campaign wasn’t just an organic or a spontaneous one but calculated and carefully planned with some top editors playing a starring role.

Some observations on how Noida media has covered @kharge’s election as @INCIndia president and @JPNadda’s selection as BJP president. Kharge is considered a ‘rubber stamp’ because he has never indulged in dissident activities & is staunchly committed to his party & it’s ideology. Nadda was celebrated for being a ‘silent strategist’ and a staunch loyalist with an ‘unflinching commitment to ideology’. No rubber stamp and remote control here of course despite the fact that Nadda wasn’t elected but selected as president…

Since our honourable courts seem to be confused by what defines rape, let me list out some basics.
1) Non consensual sex is rape.
2) Rape isn’t defined by the identity of the rapist- if stranger then rape else not rape. All non consensual sex is rape…. 3) Denial of sexual access can be grounds for divorce. Isn’t justification for rape.
4) Women’s rights over their bodies doesn’t cease with marriage and isn’t signed off to their husbands
5) ‘Legitimate expectation of sex’ as spelled out by the Hon. judge does not mean rape.

The Gorakhpur police brutality should not be seen merely through a BJP vs opposition prism. This is a larger issue with devastating implications for citizens. The last few years have seen legitimising of police brutality in the state.The system is geared towards protecting itself The police version is seen as the only truthful version. There is no presumption of innocent until proven guilty. What happens with this is that citizens are seen as enemies of a powerful state. When a police state is normalised, Gorakhpur type incidents happen…

Uttar Pradesh is definitely Number 1 when it comes to spending money uselessly in advertisements. What else explains billboards every half a kilometre in Delhi? Sometimes, less than half a km distance too. Campaign for UP elections have started in Delhi too!

There are few things as divine as cooking and eating Yakhni at midnight! Simple recipe. Put these whole spices in 1 kg mutton and boil it with salt

In March 2021, the Pathaks cancelled their agreement with the 7 people they had entered into in 2019. The same day they entered into an agreement with Sultan Ansari and Ravi Mohan Tiwari to sell the same land at the 2019 rate- Rs 2 crores. The circle rate was Rs 5.7 crores. Ansari and Tiwari then sold the land within five minutes to the Ram Temple trust for Rs 18.5 crores. Ayodhya Mayor and Ram temple trust member were witnesses to both the transactions. The questions to be asked is the following-

This rich, fragrant Lucknowi qorma is pretty easy to cook! Recipe: Dry roast these

So here is the alleged scam. Sultan Ansari bought land valued at Rs 5.7 crores from Kusum Pathak for Rs 2 crores. Then Ram Mandir Trust bought the same land from Ansari five minutes after he bought it from Kusum for Rs 18.5 crores. The witnesses to the first deal are Anil Mishra, Ram temple trust member and Rishikesh Upadhaya, mayor of Ayodhya. The witnesses to the second deal that happened in minutes are also Mishra and Upadhaya.

Dear @Uppolice. You are so quick to respond and file FIRs on any issue that gives you a bad name. Why haven’t you responded on the shocking scandal of the death of a girl from Thailand? Did you do a post mortem? If not, what were the circumstances of this girl’s death? Who did you hand the body over to? Who is this industrialist who is allegedly involved? How were wild parties happening in the middle of a pandemic and a lockdown?

The latest PMO forward is how states were warned in advance. Perhaps. But then why did you do massive rallies? Why did you gloat about crowds at those rallies? Why did you consistently appear without masks? Why did you encourage super spreader events like Kumbh? When oxygen &medicines are controlled by you, when vaccines are all controlled by the centre, when you keep lashing out at opposition states when they plead with you for more vaccines, when you gobbled up all credit for apparently great management earlier, why blame states today?

दृश्य जरा पलट कर देखते हैं, केंद्र में कांग्रेस की सरकार है, किसान 62 दिनों से सड़कों पर हों, 50 के लगभग मौतें हो चुकी है, फिर एक कांग्रेस का ही कार्यकर्ता लाल क़िले पर झंडा फहरा देता है और पुलिस आधी रात में किसानों पर लाठियाँ बरसाती है और आयोजकों पर ही मुक़दमा कर देती है। अगली सुबह पूरा माहौल ‘राष्ट्रवादी’ है, बैकग्राउंड में ‘मेरे देश की धरती सोना उगले’ गीत के साथ फैंसी ड्रेस प्रतियोगिता चल रही है। बड़ा बड़ा पोस्टर लगा है ‘किसानों के सम्मान में, भाजपा मैदान में’।

भक्त ट्रेंड कर रहे हैं #NationWithFarmers और टीवी पर ऐंकर की आँखों में आँसू हैं।

Those who ask what possess a man to viciously shove an iron rod into a woman to the extent that it damages her lungs after gang raping her should look around them. Notice your environment- on social media & real life. See how everyday violence allows for women to be dehumanised.. Women are devalued to the extent that they are seen as natural recipients of male violence. Crude language, sexual harassment thrown at women whom you don’t agree with. And if you are an actor like @ReallySwara @RichaChadha or a journalist sexual harassment is seen as the norm.

A 19 year old girl was brutally gang raped & murdered in Hathras, Uttar Pradesh. Justice will only be served when the following questions are answered by the UP govt-

1) Who made the call from Lucknow to the @dm_hathras to forcibly cremate the girl against the family’s wishes? 2) Who ran the slander campaign against the victim and her family by floating the bogus honour killing theory? On whose instructions did the usual suspects in the media- Zee, Aaj Tak & Republic incite hate against the victim’s family?

After listening to the distraught wife and daughter of the architect who committed suicide, I have a couple of questions. Did the Mumbai Police investigate it in 2018 when it was first reported? On what basis was the case closed @Dev_Fadnavis ji given the suicide note and email? Does freedom of press include the freedom to ostensibly commit a crime- in this case abetment to suicide- as has been alleged by the family of the deceased? Remember, the allegation and FIR were filed in 2018. Way before Parambir and Arnab decided they disliked one another.

Dear @PrakashJavdekar ji. I am deeply moved again by your commitment to a free press. Just bringing some cases again to your attention for you to strongly raise with your govts. Am sure you would agree a free press is needed in all states and not just Maharashtra...
