This trial is probably among the most covered trials in Norway of this century and have been covered extensively the last few months in all media outlets in Norway.
In general, critique worthy and awful stuff happen in Norway too. A free press doesn’t equal a perfect country, system or people, but we can report on it.

You boasted about press freedom in your country @HelleLyngSvends but what the fresh hell is this?!

One past mistakes that needs remedying. Any organisation with a 150 crore office in Delhi sprawled across over 3.75 acre with three 13-storey towers and 300 rooms, has to have registrations, accounts and audits. Allowing RSS to be supra-legal is the biggest illegality.

"RSS doesn't need registration, Hindu Dharma doesn't need to be registered. RSS is not secretive , we openly tell people about the Sangh, govt is aware of the RSS & hasn't asked us to register in 100 years" Sarsanghchalak Dr Mohan Bhagwat on RSS registeration debate.

I loathe ISKCON for a variety of reasons including their recent campaign to deprive Indian school children of eggs and also onion garlic.
This disgusting malnutritionist org also has the most annoying & smallest parade in NYC.
These are vile disgusting people!

This gets worse.
So not only did the US Navy fire two missiles and kill three Indian sailors they refused to rescue the 24 Indian crew despite saying they are on fire, the vessel is sinking and that they are an all Indian crew.
The Omanis rescued them.

You're right. Journalism isn't stand up comedy.
The problem is you do neither.

Mr Das, agencies investigated, built the case, and when the case collapsed, that was reported too.
Journalism isn’t stand-up comedy, we don’t improvise facts for applause.
Also, you don’t get to decide when I can or cannot speak on women. The FoS brigade often seems to have a problem with other people’s freedom of speech.
I recommend yoga and meditation for a calmer mind. Also, keep your gyan to yourself.

Notice how men’s rights crusaders and SIFF bots are always conspicuously silent when lower caste men are subjected to caste violence, lynchings and murders at the hands of upper caste men?

This is supposed to be Gadkari’s actual job btw.
Delhi–Mumbai Expressway aka Expressway of Potholes is developing potholes so fast that nearly 25 vehicles suffered tyre punctures.
1 lakh crores spent, yet this is the quality on offer.
Who is accountable?

So Anurag Kashyap, who supports Tarun Tejpal and thinks of Animal as a cinematic masterpiece, has come out with a movie about false rape case against a male celebrity and his media trial. Kudos on giving more ammo to the manosphere crowd, Anurag. Exactly what was needed

A CJP protester at Jantar Mantar said —
The people made a big mistake by electing a 4th-Pass PM.
The time has come to remove him. We don't want our children's future ruined by repeated paper leaks.

But what about the MCD officer who took a bribe to overlook this? The Fire inspector who was blind? And the police who let this, and all the other illegal outlets in Hauz Rani, function under their noses?
Arresting a small-time pahadi cook won't change anything.
#WATCH | Malviya Nagar Hotel fire case: Keshav Negi, a cook of the hotel who has been arrested in the case, was produced before Delhi's Saket Court.
The court sent him to 2 days of police custody. This is the second arrest in this case after Lovekesh Bajaj.

There is a world outside your WA groups. A world where Riyazuddin Mansoori doesn't think about his financial loss & rolls out carpets on roads to save people from fire. Your WA group would make you believe he does love jihad, thook jihad, etc. That world is full of lies. Get out!

Workers of the hotel trying to make a living would be arrested but not the officers who turned a blind eye when illegal construction was going on.
3rd June Malviya Nagar fire tragedy | Delhi Police arrested one more accused - a cook of the hotel. Investigation revealed negligence by the cook to also be a cause of the fire. A few others have also been detained by the Police and are being questioned: Delhi Police

He knows that disaster is inevitable. Now his focus is going to be on making sure that everyone associates the disaster not with the govt's years and years of colossal incompetence, but with war in West Asia. That will be enough to see him over the line in 2029 despite everything

In essence all that has happened is that the price of oil has gone up by 25 percent, If this is enough for “everything to end” there obviously wasn’t much there to begin with

Anushka Sharma left India to live in 4 AQI of London, eats the most unadulterated food items in the world, jogs in clean lanes, lives around the most advanced healthcare system.
Then comes home occasionally and preaches unscientific cures using Homeopathy to Indians who breathe in 400 AQI Air, eat adulterated food and walk in garbage and dirt.

Virat Kohli’s wife, Anushka Sharma is recommending homeopathy to Indians.
Fraud babas are not enough, she is now promoting unscientific fraud medicine to Indians
Give them enough money and they might one day tell people, “Just visit Premanand Maharaj to cure all your diseases.”

The vulgar communalisation of common Hindus. Do not ignore it. Listen to them, note their language, the hatred and filth dripping from their words.
सुनिए सरकार आपकी फैलाई हुई नफरत अब हर जगह बोल रही है। वीडियो देख लीजिए बस , बोले गए शब्द अगर लिख दूँगा तो नोटिस आ जाएगा कि इसको डिलीट करो

People who celebrate 10-minute deliveries as a sign of India’s progress should read this.
During the Malviya Nagar fire incident, locals say fire brigades reached nearly 45 minutes late. Residents had to spread mattresses to rescue people trapped inside, including foreign nationals.
Development is when emergency services arrive in minutes, not when groceries do.

अब तक 10 लोगों की मौत। कुछ गंभीर रूप से घायल।
