REALITY CHECK: 28 MLC seats, Congress wins ZERO — including the loss of a sitting member’s seat in Karnataka. MLC elections are not a direct reflection of voter mood, but they do offer clues to regional power equations, party organisation and the local level challenges facing Congress. Zero wins across 28 seats is a result the party cannot afford to ignore.🙏

🧵Update on SC hearing against Trans Act 2026: The India branch of a UK-based TERF org, Women's Declaration International, filed a petition in SC to argue that trans women are not women. The petition misreads NALSA & suggests: trans rights come at the cost of (cis)women’s rights.

In India there will never be an apology. They will simply switch sides if the situation arises and move on like nothing wrong happened.
📺 “We reported events one-sidedly for years”: Serbian TV apologizes to viewers after Vučić's party loses the election Radio Television of Vojvodina (RTV) opened its news broadcast with footage of celebrations following the Student List's election victory — scenes it had failed to show the previous evening. “For years, we failed to fulfill our duty. We kept silent, turned a blind eye, reported events one-sidedly, and failed to ask the necessary questions. For that, we owe our viewers an apology,” news anchor Goran Eror said. Following the controversy, RTV's acting editor-in-chief Nenad Čačić resigned. A similar incident occurred in Hungary, where state television also apologized to viewers after Viktor Orbán's election defeat.

Listen to the BJP BLA here — he had filed bulk objections against voters in a Muslim-dominated locality Kichha in Uttarakhand. Says ERO rejected his objections so he straight away emailed the ECI.

Saddam was a starkly pro Indian leader, supporter Delhi on Kashmir but this is now almost "common sense" in Indian Hindutva. Complete American narrative win. Erased Indian foreign policy in just two decades among Indians themselves.
People are shocked to find Mohammed Ali Jinnah displayed in Kerala. But I will show you all something. I’ve been seeing this place since my childhood, and it’s still here even today. This is a small junction in Palakkad, Kerala named Saddam Junction. Communal harmony works only to one particular section
