The @BJP4India–Election Commission nexus is attempting something sinister: 2 crore voters of Bengal will now be dragged into hearings under the so-called 'SIR Process'. Around 30 lakh genuine voters whose records mysteriously “don’t match” old rolls, and another 1.6 crore

So apparently, due to technical glitch, men received ₹10,000 under CM Mahila Rojgar Yojana in Bihar. The money (a gamechanger) was sent to the account of women beneficiaries ahead of Bihar elections. Now, notices are being sent to return the amount. Women claim the government

The Chief Minister has tried to fool Mumbaikars again, especially from Juhu, Andheri and Dahisar when I asked the CM about his promise on their redevelopment before every election for the past decade. His answer is hilarious, and a blatant lie: ⚠️ For High Frequency Radar in

Interesting indeed but it is still disturbing that the narrative can be set at all @JohnBrittas between the seemingly illogical tussle between the @INCKerala and @cpimspeak --and yes national leadership of @INCKerala is so responsible, a PROTO FASCIST majoriatrian party gets a
Yes, Left received a setback in Local Body elections in Kerala. But what’s the reality behind the so-called “watershed” adjective of the PM and “historic performance of BJP” by the CWC member Shashi Tharoor regarding the BJP performance in Thiruvananthapuram Corporation? Lok

A Brahmin uncle is passionately arguing against reservations, saying, "Everything should be purely on merit! No shortcuts! His friend asks, "But uncle, didn't your grandfather get the family priest job because it was passed down in the Brahmin lineage for generations?" Uncle

But How many Hindus spoke up for Bihar’s Nawada? How many felt shame, called it inhuman, demanded justice? Far fewer than those condemning #BondiBeach. The democratic ideal of fraternity has been eroded in India. Condemnation to violence is selective in my country today. the
Every time there is a mass shooting or a terrorist attack, Muslims freak out and check the name of the attackers in dread, and all Sanghis check the same names, in hope. Ki chalo dekhe, saare peacefuls ko gaali dene ka mauka hain yah nahi.

Terrific - for many reasons - the tragi-comedy of our lives captured 👌🏾@anusharizvi It does not shy away from tackling any of the political and social problems that afflict anyone called Shamsuddin. And there is a Garam-Hawa touch - absolutely light - but that is a spoiler

Our PM Narendra Modi is about to visit Ethiopia on an official visit in the second half of December, according to the PM's official calendar. To date, the Adani group has not declared any partnership with that country in its own capacity. Mark this tweet. No more comments ;)
🚨Adani Group eyes Ethiopia for renewable energy, gold mining & infra investments. A potential game-changer in Indo-African economic collaboration.

Shocking. @ECISVEEP Vote Grab? What is beginning in #WestBengal is sinister and must be stopped @MamataOfficial @AITCofficial
Amidst all the #Messi mess, there’s something happening in #Bengal quietly. Y’day evening two people i know - a senior #Muslim journalist in #Kolkata & a Muslim teacher from a reputed university got calls from #ElectionCommission official (could be BLO or someone else) -

Manipulation of headlines to keep the mobs in control happy @timesofindia
The @timesofindia interviewed me about what actually happened in Lyari, which is far from the violent fantasy portrayed in #Dhurandhar. Ironically, it was the marginalisation of Muslims in Delhi that led to my interest in Lyari. Also, I had nothing to do with this awful headline.
