No war is strait jacket excercise! Regime change is misnomer. US thinks that it will do whatever serves its interest. Iran is not Venezuela. And Cuba will not be cakewalk for @SecRubio . Within three days, more than 555 people killed in Iran, including 159 children.Region tense.
The Washington Post@washingtonpost

Less than 72 hours after the first U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, the conflict had ricocheted well beyond the original targets, threatening some 300 million civilians across more than a dozen nations. wapo.st/4rFyrN2

A public institution that places hurdles in way of citizens to see its functioning & check abuses of its powers, loses legitimacy of its existence. Public institutions are mere means of masses of governance. Effective functioning of institutions demand grater Public scrutiny.

"The SIR has been conducted thirteen times since 1952. Never before has a category like Logical Discrepancy been used to place millions of voters in a state of suspended franchise without a clear, public explanation of what the category means, how it is triggered, or how a voter exits it." "When Alt News attempted to work with the SIR Final Rolls 2026 for two Kolkata constituencies — Bhabanipur (159) and Ballygunge (161) — the obstacles began immediately." Such important piece of work by Ankit Jain and Team on SIR in West Bengal (also why independent platforms like @AltNews need public support) altnews.in/bengal-sir-the…

Disinformation is not always tough to beat. Spot the different logic for the same problem. If it is Petroleum crisis in Pakistan, blame PAK Govt; but when the same problem is in India, blame the STATE Government.

Any public centric media must cover most pressing issues first. West Bengal Assembly elections are underway and millions of voters are under dark over electoral rolls. @AltNews deserves appreciation for doing public service journalism.
Alt News@AltNews

West Bengal's 2026 electoral rolls are 'public' for the record. But they are published as scanned image PDFs, behind CAPTCHAs, with watermarks obscuring voter names. You can't search them. You can't analyse them. And that's not an accident. @Holytripper altnews.in/bengal-sir-the…

@down2earthindia The issue that deserves more deliberations and discussions among whole society, is most neglected one. Will India be a manifestation of extreme rich people living in gated society and others living a sub human lives?

French President @EmmanuelMacronsays candidly, "Look at what happened in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya - we never delivered. Never" "You have to respect the sovereignty of people, if people want to change a regime, they can do so"
Farrukh@implausibleblog

President Macron scolds the US and Israel for attacking Iran, "The day you say I don't like your regime, I consider you threatening your neighbour so I will intervene and bomb you, you open a Pandora's box" "Iran is a very bad regime, no discussion about that. I disagree with on a lot of topics" "But I don't agree we will fix the situation just by bombings or military operations" "Look at what happened in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya - we never delivered. Never" "You have to respect the sovereignty of people, if people want to change a regime, they can do so" "Having an agenda shared by Korea, France, the other Europeans, Canada, Japan, India, Brazil, Australia, you start having a third way" "Those who don't want to be dependent on China, or aligned by definition, on the US"

It was funny scene to see pastors and bishops praised Prez Trump at the White House for Easter prayers. Pastor Paula White-Cain, a spiritual advisor likened Trump's experiences to those of Jesus Christ, saying he too was "betrayed and arrested and falsely accused."
Reuters@Reuters

In recent weeks, US-born Pope Leo has emerged as a sharp critic of the Iran war. He named Trump, for the first time publicly, in a direct appeal urging the president to end the expanding conflict reut.rs/3QhoveL

More than 1,000 international law experts (myself included) warn that U.S. strikes on Iran violate the U.N. Charter (no evidence that Iran posed an imminent threat that could justify a self-defense claim) and may be war crimes (attacks on civilian sites). trib.al/lyTCOJB

India’s founding fathers were visionaries, they had enshrined universal suffrage from the inception. SIRs and Form-7 essentially strips away this basic right and betrays the vision that we inherited.

The Kobeissi Letter@KobeissiLetter

BREAKING: Iran's President Pezeshkian has officially released an "open letter" to the American people. The letter states: 1. Iran harbors "no enmity" toward other nations, including the people of America, Europe, or neighboring countries 2. Recent US actions are "aggression" targeting civilians and infrastructure, setting up for long-term global instability 3. "What Iran has done, and continues to do, is a measured response grounded in legitimate self-defense" 4. The decision to withdraw from the Iran Nuclear Deal was "made by the US government" 5. "Continuing along the path of confrontation is more costly and futile than ever before" Pezeshkian concludes by saying, "the choice between confrontation and engagement is both real and consequential. Throughout its millennia of proud history, Iran has outlasted many aggressors." We now await Trump's address to the US at 9 PM ET.

Using legal loopholes- from preparing electoral list to border manipulations of constituencies to campaigning, polling to counting, and when all the mighty commission is not fair before the public, no miracle can ensure faith in electoral democracy.Equity & fraternity missing.
Al Jazeera English@AJEnglish

Muslims formed the majority in about 35 of the state’s 126 constituencies. Now that is down to about 20 seats. Assam votes on April 9. 🔗: aje.news/t49nuh

India now has the shortest content takedown window of any government in the world: 3 hours. The government is reportedly looking to cut it to 1 hour. Large platforms must also verify whether content is AI-generated before it goes live. No public consultation happened on any of this This Friday, MediaNama is breaking it all down on a briefing call. April 3, 3:30 PM. us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regist…

@Chellaney When some slogans are tested on time, people realise that they are just rhetoric.....sometime garner public sympathy...sometime to catch mere votes. Nothing more.

When Modi’s “Not an Era for War” Mantra Falls Silent The Indian government did not condemn the 2003 U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq, limiting its official position to one of “deep concern.” During the 2011 U.S.-led NATO regime-change war in Libya, India’s response followed a similar pattern: a carefully calibrated “middle path” that again avoided the word “condemn,” expressing only “regret.” Nor did New Delhi condemn Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, rebuffing intense U.S. pressure to pick a side or face economic consequences. Narendra Modi, however, told Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of a multilateral summit at Samarkand in September 2022 that, “This is not an era for war.” Since then, that phrase has become a diplomatic refrain — a cornerstone of India’s messaging across multiple contexts. Against this backdrop, few expected India to openly condemn the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. What has surprised many, however, is New Delhi’s perceptible tilt from the outset toward the aggressors — raising concerns about a possible shift in India’s longstanding policy of neutrality, as well as the attendant risks to its strategic, economic and energy interests. In terms of global impact, the Ukraine conflict pales in comparison to the U.S.-Israeli war of aggression, which has already dimmed India’s economic-growth prospects. Yet, tellingly, Modi has not once invoked his signature refrain, “This is not an era for war.”

There are two immoral and unethical tools that Modi has been using for more than a decade now 1. Unexplainable refusal of accountability by denying press conference 2. Cowardly floating opinions through pliable Godi Media riding on headless sources (#SourceicalStrike)

The 19 kg commercial LPG gas cylinder will become costlier starting today. In Delhi, the price of a 19 kg cylinder has increased by Rs 195.50, and in Kolkata by Rs 218, effective from today, 1 April: Sources
