Remembering Loknayak Jayaprakash Narayan on his birth anniversary. His appeal transcended generations. He inspired people to believe that public life could be an instrument of national renewal. His fearless voice during the Emergency was also noteworthy. Loknayak JP also was passionate about ensuring good governance and reaching those who are at the margins of society. We remain committed to fulfilling his ideals as we work to build a Viksit Bharat.

A prohibitory order under Section 163 BNSS is in force on Bhagwan Das road in front of the #SupremeCourt. Police have put up barricades warning that force may be used if persons violating the order fail to disperse peacefully. #SupremeCourtAdvocate #CECProtest @DelhiPolice

We have seen the OHCHR’s remarks about today’s events in New Delhi. India is the world’s largest democracy, where the right to peaceful assembly is guaranteed by our Constitution and safeguarded by robust institutions, an independent judiciary and a free media. As in every democracy, Indian citizens exercise this right subject to reasonable restrictions in the interest of public order. The authorities, for their part, act in accordance with the law, and our courts remain available to all for redressal of any grievances. The OHCHR’s concerns are therefore misplaced and constitute an unwarranted interference in the internal affairs of India. In this context, OHCHR would also do well to devote comparable attention to large-scale protests elsewhere, consistent with its mandate of impartiality and non-selectivity. @MEAIndia @IndianDiplomacy @PMOIndia @DrSJaishankar @abagchimea

India needs Modi now, more than ever.

#WATCH | On women protestors objecting to male police personnel, Delhi Police DCP Shrishti Pandey says, "Our force is extremely professional. We are highly sensitised right down to the level of constables. It is a very sensitised force; we know exactly how to deal with individuals of different genders. There are strict guidelines in place. When we brief the force on the ground, we give clear instructions that only female police personnel will handle female protesters, while male personnel will deal with male protesters. On allegations levelled against police personnel, the DCP says, "We are present on the ground, and as officers, we ensure that all legal obligations are met and that no illegal or unnecessary actions take place. Therefore, the allegations being circulated on social media are deliberate and used to defame Delhi Police."

Yes I can confirm this was said. I spoke to the same RSS guy and he said that he had told Paranjoy, because Paranjoy would believe any cock and bull story.

🚨URGENT NEWS🚨 The government is planning on arresting me, Abhijeet, Ashutosh, Ratna and other Cockroach Janta Party leaders. If the government thinks that such dictatorial actions will work, then they are mistakened! The young generation has awakened. We appeal to everyone to continue fighting for our rights and future, with or without us. We have always been ready to face the jail or worse. But this will be a big mistake. The young will not tolerate this. The protests must continue. People of India should ensure the biggest mobilisation starting October 10th. @Cockroachisback

An accurate electoral roll is not merely an election requirement. It is a matter of national integrity and, ultimately, national security. India cannot afford electoral rolls compromised by duplicate, ineligible or improperly enrolled names. SIR strengthens the credibility of the democratic process by putting accuracy and verification at the centre. The Election Commission must be allowed to do its constitutional duty without political intimidation. Those demanding stronger national security should have no objection to stronger electoral rolls.

The Indian Express story on the EC was timed to influence Supreme Court. Yesterday, a judgment was pending in the SC. Whether the 2023 law governing the appointment process for the Chief Election Commissioners and Election Commissioners would be sent to a constitutional bench. Timed perfectly, only hours before the judgement, the story dropped. SC then sent the law to be deliberated by the constitution bench. Did the story impact the judgement? One can’t be sure. Is the timing suspect? Absolutely. Most mainstream media reporting today, on the big stories, is to influence the judicial process. Look closely, research, and you’ll see.
