Ankita is DEAD. Main accused is Pulkit Arya son of senior BJP leader Vinod Arya. Media reports she was killed because she refused fto engage in prostitution at the resort owned by Pulkit Arya.
Are these the options available to the daughters of Uttarakhand?
Disgusted.
Young Ankita Bhandari from a modest home worked in a hotel to help her family. She had been there less than a month before she went missing. Where is Ankita? The right to livelihood and safety of women is zero compromise. Where is Ankita? She could be you.

Call me a bhakt... But these Modi Medical Shops - won't call them anything else are INCREDIBLE!
Sample this - medicine is about 60 rs in a normal shop, here it's 20 Rs.
Cannot even begin to explain what a boon this man is for those suffering.
For me it's no longer Modi hai…
Disgusted. After waiting ten years for justice the SC has acquitted all the accused in the brutal gang rape and murder of Kiran Negi.
Kiran was gang raped, acid was poured into her eyes and empty bottles shoved into her private parts.
But no one raped & killed Kiran.

Just watched Amit Shah's interview with Navika - age difference between Shah and Rahul Gandho is about 5 odd years but the political maturity is decades apart.
Guess that's the difference between starting at the grassroots and being born into politics.
Pathetic...Modi is India's democratically elected PM - whether you personally like him or not is another matter. He represents India and the will of its people via a democratic process.

Bringing a goat into a society with other residents to be slaughtered is NOT civilised. It's violent and traumatic for most people.

The hypocrisy is that a Mahua Moitra an elected MP can say insulting things about the shivling and be called for hot takes on NDTV. Whilst a Nupur Sharma is banished and threatened with death for her statement.

Praise for an "encounter" killing? An encounter is an extra-judicial killing, implies the failure of police to apprehend a suspect, and the failure of the system of law and justice to hold a trial.
Impeccable timing when it comes to propaganda...dropped just as PM Modi visits the White House. My compliments. But it won't fly the scenario Obama describes has already happened and it was called partition. The difference then and now is that India was a puppet in western hands…

A few weeks ago a MP, a senior journalist amongst other worthies tweeted horrible things mocking the shivling. Although it offended people they were not subjected to life threatening threats.
This intimidation cannot be the norm. One can object but not terrorise.
What Pawan Khera said was distasteful and represents the elitism of the Cong. PM Modi is constantly abused by the Congress in the worst terms and no aspect including his mother are spared. The abuse strengthens people respect for his humble beginnings.
Was an arrest necessary?
