@BasuAshis @KanganaTeam Yeah! After wallowing in all the filth when she was young, she now seems it fit to lecture and attack other women.

@Asankar @KanganaTeam There are no decent words in any language to describe how demented this lady is.

@KanganaTeam has left enough evidence of her “kapade utharne ki azaadi” when she felt it was her body, her marzi. Just because she started draping six yards after becoming a politician doesn’t take away everyone else’s freedom to wear what they choose.

"We're going to beat the fuc*ing sh*t out of them," President Trump told Fox News after Iran launched a surprise attack against U.S. forces. "We'll be hitting them hard."
The President says U.S. strikes overnight against Iran-backed militias in Iraq were coordinated with the Iraqi government.
"We're going to let them keep talking," President Trump said about the possibility of future talks with Iran.

Some celebrities are issuing messages of solidarity for students without PR filters.

This isn’t just about NEET paper leaks. It’s a revolt against feeling generally suppressed in a democracy & the mainstream media’s brainwashing. As a father of two, I know first hand : suppressing & brainwashing today’s youth will never work.

With a midnight selfie video, Prime Minister Narendra Modi finally addressed the nation, promising students swift action, fast-track courts and tougher anti-paper leak laws. The video has since garnered more than 23 million views.
But a tweet and a selfie video that arrived 40 days too late appear to have done little to calm the Gen Z that has been beaten, battered and bruised, but not broken. Modi’s political oratory, social media mastery and carefully cultivated statesmen aura seem to be falling short with a generation demanding accountability, not optics.
If anything, the comments and memes have only grown more ruthless. For more than a decade, the Prime Minister of the world’s largest democracy has rarely taken a difficult question from the press.
Today, he finds himself being held to account by young Indians who refuse to be ignored. Their anger and frustration have risen above the political fortresses the BJP spent years building.

More strict actions against paper leaks to come in tomorrow’s Cabinet!
English

It took weeks for Prime Minister Modi to break his silence on the NEET paper leak and the exam irregularities that shattered the faith of millions of students.“Nothing is more important than the welfare and future of our youth,” he finally tweeted today promising to set up fast track courts to punish the culprits.
Since then, celebrity handles have begun expressing concern for students. They are talking about the future of India’s youth, their dreams, their hope, and how they are the nation’s future. But notice what is missing in their performative sympathies. Not a word about the police brutality unleashed on protesting students. Not a word about the accountability they are demanding.
At least, they are speaking up. Because anyone and everyone who wants a stake in India’s future, be it political parties, celebrities or influencers, now understands that they can no longer stand on the kerb as passive onlookers.
Because for the first time in a long time, it is the students who have seized democracy back into their own hands and forced the country to speak up, collectively.
English

As cockroaches flood the streets of India, celebrities are being compelled to speak out, one by one. But many are choosing their words with extraordinary caution, careful not to offend those in power. Gen Z, however, seems to have no such hesitation. Their posters and memes say exactly what they think.

VIDEO | Delhi: Advocates at the Supreme Court read the Constitution's Preamble in support of the Jantar Mantar protest and against police action.
Advocate Indira Jaising says, "We are here to stand with the students. We are here to stand on the side of justice. We are here to demand justice for the students. We are not here to agitate for ourselves. This is not about us. This concerns the rights of students, and it is the duty of lawyers to stand before the Supreme Court and demand justice for them. The role and function of the Supreme Court of India is to dispense justice. That is why we are here, in the temple of justice, with our demands."

Proud of this kid. He seems amazing. Humbly, It feels like your channel is exploiting him to invalidate other kids. Maybe the next time a bridge collapses you could interview someone who took a longer route to work and got promoted. Instead of engineers or people under it.
