Indian industry has been a mute spectator for a while. Several corporations have been destroyed, monopolies have been created, and policies have been made to favour one or two corporate houses. It took decades to build a brand like Tata. Remember, it could be any of you next.

Tata is being criminally destroyed, and no business leader dares say a word. How long will you stay silent? Until they own you? Indian business is not Modi and Shah's plaything. You lack courage. We don't. We will ensure justice for these crimes.

📺 “We reported events one-sidedly for years”: Serbian TV apologizes to viewers after Vučić's party loses the election Radio Television of Vojvodina (RTV) opened its news broadcast with footage of celebrations following the Student List's election victory — scenes it had failed to show the previous evening. “For years, we failed to fulfill our duty. We kept silent, turned a blind eye, reported events one-sidedly, and failed to ask the necessary questions. For that, we owe our viewers an apology,” news anchor Goran Eror said. Following the controversy, RTV's acting editor-in-chief Nenad Čačić resigned. A similar incident occurred in Hungary, where state television also apologized to viewers after Viktor Orbán's election defeat.

हालिया विधान परिषद के चुनाव की मतदाता सूची में एक अजीबोगरीब नाम “राम ने शर्मा को मारा” भी है। कंप्यूटर/सॉफ्टवेयर जातिवादी नहीं है। हमारे द्वारा गलती किया जाना स्वीकार है लेकिन हमारे सौभाग्य से गलती होते समय भी जाति का भेदभाव नहीं हुआ है। भगवान का यह भी शुक्र है की राम ने किसी अल्पसंख्यक को नहीं मारा है। नहीं तो जातिवादी होने के साथ-साथ सांप्रदायिक होने का इल्ज़ाम भी लगता।

Some of us are old enough to remember Vajpayee slamming Modi for calling then CEC Lyngdoh ‘Italian’ and attacking him over his christian identity.

"Show me the evidence, not the insinuation," says @sardesairajdeep. He further adds, "investigate the foreign hand if there is evidence but don’t use it to deflect questions about the government’s own actions." Should dissenting citizens face labels before their questions receive answers? #ForeignHand #PoliticalDebate #Dissent #Protests #DemocraticNewsroom | @PreetiChoudhry
