"Happy 60th Birthday to the ultimate King of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan @iamsrk I have to admit I'm finding this "60" number deeply suspicious. A crack team of independent fact-checkers and forensic detectives investigated this "60" claim & concluded: "In the complete and absolute absence of any discernible visual evidencespecifically no non-photoshopped grey hair no undeniable signs of slowing down and a persistent appearance of someone significantly youngerthe claim that Shah Rukh Khan is turning XX cannot be factually confirmed." I suspect the official story is a cover-up & that SRK is"

"The criminalisation of marital rape is an urgent necessity in Indias legal framework. I introduced my Private Members Bill today to amend the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and remove the marital rape exception reaffirming that marriage cannot negate the womans right to grant or deny consent. India must uphold its constitutional values and move from No Means No to Only Yes Means Yes'. Every woman deserves the fundamental right to bodily autonomy and dignity within marriage protections our legal system fails to provide. Marital rape is not about marriage but about violence. The moment for action has"

I only learned about this announcement yesterday in Kerala where I had gone to vote in the local self-government elections. There in Thiruvananthapuram responding to media queries I had clarified that I was neither aware of nor had accepted such an award and it was irresponsible on the part of the organisers to announce my name without my having agreed to receive it. Despite that today in Delhi some media outlets continue to ask the same question."

"Commemorating the 147th Birth Anniversary of the visionary statesman C. Rajagopalachari today. Rajaji's legacy shines through his remarkable synthesis of beliefs: economic liberalism for growth and prosperity democratic pluralism championing liberty and free thought and a profound connection to his civilisational roots (as seen in his retellings of the Ramayana & Mahabharata). As a long-time admirer my Pranaams to a true giant who showed that modernity and tradition could beautifully coexist with intellectual rigour and political courage: an example I seek to follow. #Rajaji #CRajagopalachari"

Against a sanctioned road length of 1421.06 km as much as XXXXXX km nearly XXXX% remains incomplete. Of the XXX roads proposed XXX are yet to be constructed and not a single one of the XX long-span bridges has been built. With the deadline pushed from March 2025 to March 2026 it is imperative that the Centre accelerates implementation clears pending"
