Even by the standards of a country ranking 157 of 180 nations in the World Press Freedom Index, the reaction of the authorities to the ‘Cockroach Janata Party’ is beyond extraordinary. The public response to that imaginative prank should have signalled to them a deep discontent, even distress, among young people. Instead, as The Indian Express reported, it was framed as jeopardising the country’s ‘national security’ and ‘posing a threat to the sovereignty of India.’ Decades ago, the Malaysian lawyer and poet Cecil Rajendra wrote this brilliant poem that captures the idiocy of it better than any pompous editorialising could (not that our ‘mainstream’ media would dare do even that much).

This is absolutely 100% correct. I know I will get termed as a congressi for sharing these but the reality is Modi government has destroyed most of the institutions that were checks and balances to mitigate these problems. From artists to traders, all have been betrayed by corruption and incompetence.

I travelled through Great Nicobar today. These are the most extraordinary forests I have ever seen in my life. Trees older than memory. Forests that took generations to grow. The people on this island are equally beautiful - both the adivasi communities and the settlers - but they are being robbed of what is rightfully theirs. The government calls what it is doing here a “Project.” What I have seen is not a project. It is millions of trees marked for the axe. It is 160 square kilometres of rainforest condemned to die. It is communities that have been ignored while their homes have been snatched away. This is not development. This is destruction dressed in development’s language. So I will say it plainly, and I will keep saying it: what is being done in Great Nicobar is one of the biggest scams and gravest crimes against this country’s natural and tribal heritage in our lifetime. It must be stopped. And it can be stopped - if Indians choose to see what I have seen.

Congress party unequivocally supports Women’s Reservation. Parliament unanimously passed the bill in 2023, it is already part of our Constitution. What the government is proposing now has nothing to do with women’s reservation. This amendment is an attempted power grab using delimitation and gerrymandering. We will not allow ‘Hissa Chori’ from OBC, Dalit and Adivasi communities by ignoring the caste census data. We will also not allow Southern, North Eastern, North Western and smaller states to be treated unfairly.

Post-Screening Committee, I attended the important Kerala CEC meeting today at AICC HQ under the leadership of @kharge Ji @INCIndia President, Lop @RahulGandhi Ji, AICC GS @kcvenugopalmp ji with AICC GS In-charge Smt. @DeepaDasmunsi ji, Chairman Shri @MD_Mistry ji, present.

“America is giving permission to India, is this not a surrender?” “You worry about Rahul Gandhi Ji because he has the courage to speak truth.” “You were praising Nehru Ji, you will praise Rahul Gandhi Ji also in future.” — Superb speech by KC Venugopal Ji

Honoured to be part of a historic day in Kollam marking the centenary of the meeting between Sree Narayana Guru and Mahatma Gandhi. The commemoration, organised by the Shivagiri Mutt and inaugurated by @RahulGandhi ji, drew a massive gathering of people & leaders from all faiths.

Participated in a significant meeting in Kollam to organise the centenary of the historic dialogue between Sree Narayana Guru Devan and Mahatma Gandhi, to be held on March 6. This commemoration will reaffirm social justice,harmony,and equality — a true game changer for our times.

Nobody has ever posted such a lengthy, heartfelt message in support of Imran Khan- not even from Pakistani cricketers themselves. Thank you, Sunny bhai, for showing true sportsmanship and humanity. 🫡 #ImranKhan #PTI
