Wow! ECI says in its affidavit that “Declaration NOT a part of Form 6” but in its press release of 26.9.2026, it said “The declaration attached to Form 6 for SIR has been upheld by the Hon’ble Supreme Court.” ECI indulging in word play to avoid accountability?!

The BJP govt, Delhi Police & Jamia admin are working tirelessly & brutally to break JMI's resolve. Yesterday students were attacked, today ID card carrying students were prevented from entering their own campus and detained. The only people working harder are Godi media dalaals! But students of JMI remain unshaken! Salute and congratulations to them! Video: aisa_jamia (Instagram)

Manipur’s SoO pact, renegotiated in Sep 2025, has lapsed. Security forces await Centre’s clarity. Finding just 1 of 159 Kuki-Zo militants at a designated camp, they took it over in a rare move with major implications. Plan to audit all camps now. m.rediff.com/amp/news/report…

Are more than 50 right wing goons threatening with violence right outside the mandir marg police station not a "breach of peace" for the Delhi Police? This hooliganism is being enabled while peaceful protestors are being framed as disruptors in the imagination of the people.

Meet Major Mouiz Yaseen, from #India 🇮🇳, who served as Force Ombudsperson & Welfare Officer with the @unmissmedia 🇸🇸. For her, creating a safer environment for peacekeepers starts with making sure everyone can speak up, be heard and seek support without fear. #WomenPeaceSecurity

Replying to @KanwalSibal
@KanwalSibal I have been trolled by two rupee trolls for years. Should I feel privileged to be trolled by a former Foreign Secretary?

As a follow up to @IndianExpress story on ‘CEC vs ECs’, official documents accessed by RTI Activist Commodore Lokesh Batra (Retd) sheds more light on the issue. Election Commissioners Dr Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Dr Vivek Joshi wrote to Union Cabinet Secretary individually on the issue of change in ‘work allocation order’ by Maneesh Garg, Sr Deputy Election Commissioner on July 29. Cabinet Secretariat decided to seek the opinion of the CEC Gyanesh Kumar on Aug 3. (No information on whether CEC responded to the Cabinet Secretariat). Union Cabinet Secretary, TV Somanathan acknowledged the letters of the two ECs Dr SS Sandhu and Dr Vivek Joshi on Aug 5. On Aug 24, Sanjay Kumar, Deputy Election Commissioner was moved out of ECI while the two Election Commissioners complained against Maneesh Garg. Importantly, Sanjay Kumar was handling the ‘Electoral Roll’ division in ECI before he was moved out of ECI. The officer handling the ‘Electoral Roll’ division was moved out of ECI in the middle of SIR’ exercise.
A cracker of a story by @RitikaChopra__ Days after two Elections Commissioners wrote (July 29) to Cabinet Secretary over the functioning of the Commission, two Deputy Election Commissioners moved out of the ECI. Gyanesh Bharti on Aug 10 (Andaman CS) and Sanjay Kumar on Aug 28.
