CJP activist alleges torture, dares govt to 'jail me 100 times'
Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) activist Abhijeet Dipke on Sunday levelled serious allegations against the Delhi Police over his treatment in custody, describing it as inhumane and politically motivated
As soon as the Delhi Police received information about the passing away of Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) Founder Abhijeet Dipke's grandmother, officers approached him to convey this sad news and offered all possible assistance. They sensitively asked if he needed help with flights, phone calls, or anything else. They repeatedly asked if he wished to speak to his parents, but he declined,

CJP slams Delhi security clampdown, alleges 'open Emergency' in city
The situation across the country right now mirrors an open Emergency. Such repressive conditions have not been witnessed since the dictatorial regime of 1975,
Even at the exact moment Dipke was being told of her demise, police personnel stood around with cameras and microphones, attempting to turn a moment of personal grief into a spectacle,
Abhijeet’s grandmother passed away yesterday, and the way Delhi Police conducted themselves upon breaking the news was utterly inhuman. It is shameful to see the police force in the nation's capital behave with such insensitivity,

Today will be marked in golden letters as a protest of a magnitude that Delhi has never witnessed."

Protester detentions: India slams UN remarks as unwarranted interference
India rejected the UN Human Rights Office's concerns over protester detentions in New Delhi as 'unwarranted interference'
We call on the authorities to ensure that the right to peaceful assembly is fully respected and fulfilled. Restrictions on peaceful protests must meet strict tests of necessity and proportionality,
The authorities, for their part, act in accordance with the law, and our courts remain available to all for redressal of any grievances,
We have seen the OHCHR’s remarks about today’s events in New Delhi. India is the world’s largest democracy, where the right to peaceful assembly is guaranteed by our Constitution and safeguarded by robust institutions, an independent judiciary and a free media,
The Indian authorities should also ensure law enforcement forces exercise utmost restraint in response to peaceful protesters, consistent with the country’s democratic traditions and human rights obligations. All those arbitrarily detained must be immediately and unconditionally released,
We are concerned by reports of mass detentions in India of demonstrators, protest leaders, members of civil society organisations, lawyers and journalists, before and during today’s large-scale demonstrations in Delhi,
The OHCHR’s concerns are therefore misplaced and constitute an unwarranted interference in the internal affairs of India,
We also urge the authorities to engage in meaningful dialogue to address the broadly held concerns expressed,
In this context, OHCHR would also do well to devote comparable attention to large-scale protests elsewhere, consistent with its mandate of impartiality and non-selectivity,
Maharashtra farm crisis: Fadnavis appeals for unity, water discipline
Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis appeals for unity and water discipline amid a severe farm crisis
Brothers and sisters, this year has brought profound distress to us all. It is a year of severe challenges where we must stand side-by-side and fight this battle against drought together."
During the first two months of the Kharif season, heavy rainfall made the land lush and green, raising hopes for record-breaking crop yields. However, over the following two months, the rains completely vanished. After enduring early floods, the rains disappeared precisely when the crops needed water the most, triggering a major drought. Well water sources, drains, and rivers have dried up, destroying key crops such as cotton, soybean, tur, maize, and sugarcane,
We must maintain drinking water supplies until August, which will require tanker operations on a large scale. I appeal to all villagers: if water is scarce during the Rabi season, do not misuse drinking water reserves for agriculture. Our primary duty is to keep our people and livestock alive through May, June, and July. Our planning must strictly reserve water for human and animal consumption before allocation for any other purpose,
India won't alter security policy for Starlink: BJP MP to Elon Musk
Musk, in turn, slammed arguments against his company as 'absurd hypocrisy' from competitors
First, provide connections to the poor in your own country, America, at affordable rates, and then level accusations; India is a healthy democratic, sovereign nation; it does not change its security policy under pressure or social media,
A post is being circulated in social media regarding the fairness of India’s regulatory framework for satellite communication services and suggesting that it is being applied in a discriminatory manner. The Government has put in place a fair and non-discriminatory authorisation framework for all telecommunication services, including satellite communication services,
In 2013-14, the government of Shri Manmohan Singh ji had informed TRAI about these threats,
As the Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee, our committee has understood the challenges facing the country's security agencies through @elonmusk's Starlink,
