The fourth pillar of democracy informs citizens, acts as a watchdog, questions those in power, and does not act as the lapdog of those in power

Instead of passing takedown orders, the Modi regime has chosen to pass a kind of unofficial order to Meta to do it on its own. And Meta has done the needful, to use Indian officialese.

The #PublicImpeachment of Gyanesh Kumar was conducted with great seriousness and gravitas. The critics called it a mockery of democracy, but the entire event came across as a compelling exercise of constitutional rights in a democracy where too many avenues for dissent are being blocked. @rahulGandhi’s and @meira_kumar’s concluding speeches were dignified and sober, in keeping with the seriousness and importance of the issues facing the nation. Glad to have witnessed this unprecedented event at close quarters.

🚨MASSIVE BREAKING : Indian Express Just Launches surgical strike on Godi Media🔥 (MUST Read & Share) A news anchor went live and apologised to the nation for years of one-sided reporting. → In Serbia, the state broadcaster RTV opened its news bulletin with an apology. → The anchor said on air: "We remained silent, turned a blind eye, gave one-sided information and reported without criticism. The right questions were not asked, or no questions were asked at all. For that, we apologise to the viewers." → The night before, the channel had not shown people celebrating the Student List's victory. The next day, it opened the news with that same footage. → After that, RTV's acting editor-in-chief resigned. Now connect the dots. Silent. Blind eye. One-sided. No questions. Read those words again. Doesn't it sound exactly like Indian prime-time TV? For 10+ years, our channels have asked the Opposition every question and the government none. Price rise, unemployment, voter list deletions, Manipur. No debate. Hindu-Muslim, Pakistan, Opposition leaders. Debate every night. Serbia's channel at least had the shame to say sorry. Our anchors will get an award instead. Bro, imagine... You hire a security guard for your society. For 10 years, thieves keep breaking in. The guard never stops them, never raises an alarm, and instead shouts at the residents who complain. One day you find out he was getting paid by the thieves all along. That is exactly what a news channel becomes when it stops questioning power. It doesn't protect you. It protects them. That's not journalism. That's PR for the government. Godi Media, when will you apologise to the people of India? Modi ji, when did you last face a real question from a journalist? A channel that only claps for power isn't news. It's propaganda. 🔥🔥🔥

1600 foreigners in 6 states will be something like 0.0001 percent of the total voters. This is so statistically insignificant that the world will laugh at MoShah for creating SIR anarchy across the country wasting public resources and judicial time. This has parallels with demonetisation anarchy where 99% money came back into the banking system. MoShah governance model exemplifies this anti people approach and cruelty.

These are made in India protests. There is no foreign hand writes @cmvohra . Do read.
Neither France nor Bangla inspired nor ‘foreign hand’these shudh desi protests. यह शुद्ध देसी प्रदर्शन है। कोई ‘विदेशी हाथ’ नही। मेरा कॉलम chandermohan.net/2026/10/29/… @punjabkesaridl

IMHO, the real Desh Drohis are the crony capitalists who have allegedly exploited India’s natural resources, amassed enormous wealth, and enriched themselves at the expense of 1.5 billion Indians. When will you return that wealth to the people it rightfully belongs to?

India’s most powerful cronies exploit a dysfunctional legal system, weaponizing defamation laws to shield themselves from scrutiny and suppress free speech. When the law protects the powerful from uncomfortable truths, one must ask: Is India’s entire legal system rigged?

A leaderless students' movement has just defeated Serbia's long-standing strongman, Aleksandar Vucic. Vucic controlled most legacy media outlets, which spent the past two years vilifiying the students by calling them foreign agents plotting a coup. It all came to nought.

चुनाव आयोग के हलफनामे का रितिका चोपड़ा ने पोस्टमार्टम कर दिया है . एक - एक पॉइंट का जवाब दिया है . कल केंचुआ का हलफनामा आते ही सरकारी पत्रकार कूदने लगे थे . अपनी पत्रकारिता को मोदी के दरबार में गिरवी रखने वाले लोग @RitikaChopra__ का जवाब पढ़ें .

Modi has wasted one of the biggest opportunities in modern Indian history. People put him on a pedestal & gave him unprecedented power, trust, and political capital. He could have transformed India. He could have challenged regressive practices, even within Hinduism, and pushed society towards a more progressive and rational future. But instead, he chose to appease the most regressive elements of society, religion and culture. He had the opportunity to change India for the better. Instead, he chose to exploit its worst instincts. What a wasted decade. What a lost opportunity.

अमरीका हरदीप पुरी की एपस्टीन के साथ फोटो रिलीज कर रहा है। वो हमारे मंत्री से कह रहा कि इधर आके मिल हमसे और मंत्री दौड़ के जा रहा उधर। चीन हमारी सीमा के 6-7 किलोमीटर के अंदर आके टेंट गाड़ रहा है। मतलब जूते अमरीका और चीन मार रहे हैं और महामानव कांग्रेस कांग्रेस रो रहा है।

क्या ऐसे नाम हमें साझा करने चाहिए क्या 😐
क्या किसी का नाम “राम ने यादव को मारा” हो सकता है क्या किसी के पिता का नाम B COM हो सकता है? क्या किसी का नाम “इरफ़ान अली ने कहा” हो सकता है? उत्तर प्रदेश के MLC चुनाव की मतदाता सूची में ये सारे नाम शामिल है । इलाहाबाद-झाँसी खंड स्नातक चुनाव के वोटर लिस्ट में ये सारे नाम दर्ज हैं । @ceoup ये सारे नाम सूची में है ना? इसे तो फ़र्ज़ी नहीं कहेंगे ?
