Public Wi-Fi isn’t a luxury anymore. It is essential digital infrastructure. In its comments to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India’s consultation on Public Wi-Fi, IFF argued that meaningful internet access must be treated as part of fundamental rights, especially for those still excluded from India’s digital ecosystem.

Telangana Congress govt has neither taken action any against T Raja for his hate speeches nor arresting the accused in this case.

A reel, a meme, a Parle-G packet, sometimes that’s all it takes to shake political power. As digital spaces become central to how people form opinions, censorship is no longer just about “harmful content.” It’s about controlling narratives.

#SaveKBR Offences alleged by the police in the FIR 1. 126 BNS - wrongful restraint 2. 324 BNS - causing loss or damage of property 3. 351 BNS - Criminal intimidation 4. These are read along with 3(5) BNS which is the common principle intention that holds everyone that committed a crime equally liable @SajjanarVC_IPS @TelanganaDGP @TelanganaCMO

If you are a Muslim in the wrong place at the wrong time, the Constitution means little and the law can be twisted in any manner to imprison you. scroll.in/article/984915… Criminality is irrelevant. It does not matter that you may be a victim, not the perpetrator @samar11 ✍️in this piece from 2021

This #MothersDay, we remember the thousands of Palestinian mothers and children killed by Israel in #Gaza, their love buried beneath the rubble of homes and shelters that could not protect them. Today, we grieve for every mother and child who never got the chance to hold each other again 💔

SK Shareef, the maulana who heads the madrasa, told Scroll that the teachers accompanying the children had Aadhaar cards and consent letters from their parents. “But the police detained the children after producing this.” scroll.in/article/109214… Tabassum Barnagarwala reports

Shame on the mismanagement faced by Indian Haj pilgrims in Makkah! Pilgrims came to perform Haj, not to suffer without basic human facilities. - Building No. 0901, Room 410 – Dar Al Baraka Hostel Cover No: BRF-150-2-0 - No proper transportation/communication facility to reach Haram - No nearby restaurant within 1.5 km - No fan & poor ventilation in overcrowded rooms - Dirty rooms and bathrooms - Pilgrims forced to live in unbearable conditions - Even the promised tiffin/food service in the basement is NOT being properly provided. - Elderly Hajis are being forced to walk long distances just to collect food. This is unacceptable for Haj pilgrims, especially senior citizens. Immediate action is needed for food, cleanliness, ventilation, and transport arrangements. @hcoi_official @MOMAIndia @KirenRijiju @PMOIndia @MEAIndia @IndianEmbRiyadh @cgijeddah @HajMinistry @DrSJaishankar @DelhiStateHajC #Hajj2026 #IndianHajPilgrims #HajCommittee #Makkah

They weren't ordinary criminals who killed Faizan and ran away to some hideout. They were Delhi Police officials who beat him to death, and are likely still working in Delhi. But the CBI, India's top enforcement agency, with the ability to crack complicated crimes across the country, could not find them after 2 years of investigation. @TweetSumedha investigates for @reporters_co reporters-collective.in/trc/faizan-was…

“VPN was my shield for investigative and sensitive reporting” A 28-year-old freelance journalist says she has lost 2 assignments after district admin in J&K banned the VPNs she needs to securely communicate with sources & access international news databases Link below 👇

A new theory of letting Muslims rot in jail has emerged. Hyderabad resident Hasan Mohiuddin Siddiqui was reportedly arrested by Chandigarh Police merely for retweeting a tweet by Madhu Kishwar, while the original poster, Madhu Kishwar, remains free. Reports say he has been sent to 14 days’ remand for the retweet. It is also being reported that Hasan suffers from severe pancreatitis and requires constant medical treatment and care, but his condition is said to be worsening.

In the last one week Pune - A 44 year old Hindu Man Gorakhnath Shinde killed a 29 year old Muslim girl Afreen Pathan. Hyderabad - Son of BJP Leader and Union Minister is accused of raping a minor girl. No FIR filed for 3 months. The rapist is roaming free. Kannauj - A Muslim girl was kidnapped from a Madrassa and raped by Deepu. Mathura - A 62 year old Lakshmikant raped a 10 year old girl in a Temple. But the headlines on Mainstream Media is Nida Khan. This is how the narratives are controlled.

#ReleaseHassan Our brother @HassanSiddiqei has been arrested by the @ChdPol for just reposting the tweet of @madhukishwar. Have you arrested her too? @chandigarh_admn @DgpChdPolice @ssputchandigarh NO🤷 Brother Hassan is a patient, acute problem of pancreatitis;recently he was

@taab_e_sukhan @HassanSiddiqei @ssputchandigarh @madhukishwar This is extremely devastating news

In an unfortunate event our brother @HassanSiddiqei has been arrested by the Chandigarh police @ssputchandigarh For just retweeting the X post by @madhukishwar on 24-4-2026 This is another example of how the judiciary works in India. The main accused is roaming free but a muslim man who retweeted her video has been in remand for 14 days, 100s of km from his home. Hassan is suffering from extreme pancreatitis and needs constant medical care. He fainted in jail day before yesterday and had been throwing up since yesterday. This is the case of extreme negligence by the police. He is extremely poor and naive and may not even fully comprehend the hat he is being accused of. Poor people cannot afford name Brand lawyers and hence the process becomes punishment for them. @asadowaisi tribuneindia.com/news/chandigar…
