All those anchors and TV news channels, who in the last nine and a half years, never dared to ask a single question to the Prime Minister or the government, never asked why ministers are not giving interviews to journalists, are preaching media freedom today!

Last year, we tracked some primetime shows for four months to see what was being 'debated' at a time when India was grappling with rising prices and joblessness. Results were not surprising newslaundry.com/2022/06/25/tv-…

What does it say about India's journalism when the opposition parties' decision to boycott hatemongers gets more attention than the prime minister's refusal to hold a press conference in 10 years?

In 2014, as a challenger to the Congress, Narendra Modi’s biggest political promise was a corruption-free govt. “Na khaunga, na khane dunga” A decade down the line, not only he’s miserably failed to deliver it,now immunity & even protection is being extended to the most corrupt.

You're not safe on a train. You're not safe in the metro. You might not even be safe at home. If you're a minority. That's how bad things have gotten.

There's a communal riot in Haryana, ethnic pogrom in Manipur, and a security officer has killed Muslims on a train in Maharashtra. In the meantime, Prime Minister Modi inaugurating projects and conducting poojas in Pune. At least there's no ambiguity about his priorities

Any society should be worried when men in uniform, who should be there to protect, instead exhibit majoritarian radicalisation, and allegedly take lives in the name of the PM and UP CM.

It’s the cold and deliberate manner in which that armed jawan stood over the bleeding body — like hunter posing with trophy — and pronounced his decree of New India. And the lamb-like silence of his audience in the vestibule. Be alarmed, Indians.

“हमारी गुज़र नहीं हो रही।” Next time you hear “$5tr GDP” or “No 3 economy” or “$ 3.37tr Market Cap” remember the words of this vegetable vendor in the Capital of India. The inequality in today’s India is heartbreaking.

Why do Dalits migrate? The size of #InformalWorkers is the highest among #Dalits at about 84% as against 54% for dominant castes. The average daily #wage earnings of Dalit informal workers was Rs 269, while it was Rs 357 for the Upper castes. scroll.in/article/105153…

Again, regardless of party, for a PM of a nation to promote a controversial movie & equate its critics with terrorists is just shockingly bad form. It demeans the highest elected office of the land and clearly marks the movie itself as propaganda to be used for political ends.
ANI@ANI

#WATCH | 'The Kerala Story' film is based on a terror conspiracy. It shows the ugly truth of terrorism and exposes terrorists' design. Congress is opposing the film made on terrorism and standing with terror tendencies. Congress has shielded terrorism for the vote bank: PM Narendra Modi in Ballari, Karnataka

He has not said a word even as champion women wrestlers of India are on the streets literally begging for justice. It is a moment of great shame for us all. India’s greatness has been diminished by the giant ego of a small man.

Beyond all the marketing magic and hoopla of the new India. Don’t forget the irony of this moment where the PM was indulging in a photo op and pretend asking a young girl of her dreams, in response she asked him for food and he just moved on.

Rahul Kanwal was trying to justify and support Narendra Modi's "Revdi Culture" comment. Tamil Nadu FM @ptrmadurai told both the PM and his boot-licking journalist in unequivocal terms that they should learn to do their job well before preaching to others!

Journalist Siddique Kappan has been refused bail after being in jail almost two years for a story he never wrote. How much more kafkaesque can the system get under the BJP government in UP?
