The state exists to uphold justice, dignity and equality, not to auction them off to the highest bidder. When governments prioritise profit over people, they betray the very Constitution they swear to protect. Every policy that commodifies education, healthcare or labour erodes

Public resources are the lifeblood of a nation, built and sustained by the collective labour of its people. When these treasures are handed over to private cronies, it is nothing short of betrayal. Each so-called reform that auctions our land, water, minerals or institutions

Privatisation is daylight robbery dressed up as policy reform. It strips the people of their collective wealth and hands it over to those already bloated with power and privilege. What belongs to the nation is being sold to a handful of profiteers while citizens are left paying

The government refuses to backtrack from amending the Bank Nationalisation Act and is strangling recruitment while pushing insecure contractual jobs. Over Rs 14 lakh crore has been written off in the last decade as haircuts while wilful defaulters walk free. This is not reform

What Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer tried on Rishabh Pant was not tough cricket. It was a deliberate, disgusting attack on an injured man. They saw a fractured foot and went for it. They saw pain and added to it. They saw courage and tried to break it. This was not the spirit of the

Deepest condolences on the untimely demise of Diogo Jota, who had been our nemesis for the last few seasons. A gifted footballer gone too soon. Strength to his family, teammates and countless fans. Rest in power. 🕊️⚽ #DiogoJota #GoneTooSoon #FootballFraternityMourns

Will @TheOfficialSBI care to explain this blunder in your newspaper ad yesterday? Who approved breaking "পুরোভাগে" into "পুরো ভাগে"? It’s not just wrong, it's disrespectful. What amount was paid to the agency for this mess? #SBI70

How did @DFS_India appoint Pankaj Dwivedi as ED Union Bank without CVC clearance when sexual harassment and corruption case was pending against him before the Delhi HC? This mockery of institutional integrity deserves public outrage and parliamentary scrutiny @PMOIndia

Consolidation of RRBs is not reform but reckless demolition pushing the poor on the clutches of NBFCs & Microfinance predators who have already ruined countless lives. At what cost, eh? @PMOIndia @nsitharaman @DFS_India

Consolidation of RRBs is not reform. It is organised abandonment. State washing its hands of rural responsibility and handing over the reins to loan sharks in suits. @PMOIndia

Our national assets are being bartered away in the name of reforms. Privatisation is not progress. It is a betrayal of the people and a sellout of our future. We will not allow this country to be auctioned off to corporate cronies. #CivilSocietyMovement

Donald Trump’s preemptive "ceasefire" claim is a blatant insult to India’s sovereignty. We don’t need foreign leaders speaking for us. Strongly condemn this interference from self styled global arbiters. @narendramodi @POTUS
