Major fire in csd depot Khadki, Just now. @IaSouthern @adgpi

As a veteran of the Sikh Light Infantry, visiting my Regiment Veterans and interacting with them was an experience that filled my heart with immense pride and enthusiasm. The coordination, camaraderie, mutual respect and spirit of brotherhood among all ranks were simply outstanding. जवानों के साथ बैठकर, उनसे मिलकर और उनकी ऊर्जा देखकर सच में मज़ा आ गया : खून बढ़ गया हमारा! यही तो हमारी रेजिमेंट की असली ताकत है। वर्दी भले ही उतर जाए, लेकिन रेजिमेंट दिल से कभी नहीं उतरती। आज जब हम veterans अपने जवानों और JCOs के साथ बैठे, तो लगा कि वही पुराना जोश, वही जज़्बा और वही भाईचारा आज भी हमारे अंदर ज़िंदा है। पीढ़ियाँ बदल सकती हैं, जिम्मेदारियाँ बदल सकती हैं, लेकिन रेजिमेंट की आन, बान और शान कभी नहीं बदलती। हमारी पहचान, हमारा गौरव, हमारा नारा “DEG TEG FATEH!” हम कल भी फौलाद थे, आज भी फौलाद हैं और हमेशा रहेंगे। Serving soldiers हों या veterans, हम सब एक ही परिवार का हिस्सा हैं। हमारा रिश्ता सिर्फ वर्दी का नहीं, बल्कि खून, पसीने, त्याग और रेजिमेंट की मिट्टी से जुड़ा है। एक रेजिमेंट, एक परिवार, एक जज़्बा हमेशा साथ, हमेशा तैयार! जय हिंद! जय हिन्द की सेना! DEG TEG FATEH!! #TheSikhLightInfantry @adgpi #Veterans #indianArmy

May I request @RSSorg to pass orders to all their members to reach the Arunachal pradesh borders & Galwan Area for protection of our land from China!

DIRTY POLITICS AND THE SYSTEMATIC DIVERSION OF PUBLIC PROTEST! Look at how the entire protest has been diverted from its core issue into a confrontation between the police and protesters, with each side now being pitted against the other. This is how politicians strategically divert public attention from the real questions that demand answers! What is deeply disturbing is that the fundamental questions raised by the protesters remain unanswered. Instead, voices are being suppressed, freedom of expression is being undermined, and even the right to sit peacefully and protest appears to be under threat. When institutions fail to uphold their independence and constitutional responsibilities, democracy itself is put at risk. The situation we are witnessing today is truly shocking and demands serious introspection. It may take time to restore what has been lost, but the bigger question is: what is the guarantee that the next government will not follow the same path? If those in power today can misuse authority, engage in corrupt practices, or suppress dissent, what will prevent their successors from doing the same tomorrow? The answer cannot be a change of government alone. The answer must be systemic reform. We need concrete laws, strong accountability mechanisms, and genuinely independent institutions that cannot be manipulated by the political establishment of the day. Law enforcement must remain impartial, and citizens must be able to question those in power without fear of intimidation or retaliation. Otherwise, we will continue moving from one political establishment to another, only to witness the same abuses of power under different faces. Democracy is not merely about electing a government. It is about ensuring that every government remains accountable to the people and bound by the Constitution. Nation First. Constitution Above Politics. Accountability Without Fear. Jai Hind!

AN APPEAL TO OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN THE NORTHEAST, THE YOUTH, AND EVERY INDIAN 🇮🇳 I share the concerns that many Indians have. We will seek the truth, question what needs to be questioned, and expose wrongdoing wherever the evidence leads. But, we will not allow anyone to create divisions among us or weaken our unity. Yes, we know there are realities that must be addressed. But have faith in our Armed Forces and in the young officers and soldiers standing alert on the ground, performing their duties and guarding our borders. Governments come and go, but India is eternal. Hindustan belongs to every Indian. It is nobody's private property. Every inch of our land matters. Every citizen matters. And the dignity, identity, and aspirations of our brothers and sisters in the Northeast matter equally. Let us not fall prey to fake news, propaganda, or attempts to create mistrust. Ask questions, demand accountability, verify facts, and stand united. Our strength lies in our unity. Our trust lies in our soldiers. Our commitment lies in our Constitution and our motherland. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳 Col Amit Kumar Veteran & Advocate

JANTAR MANTAR, THE NATIONAL FLAG AND THE LAW: IS PEACEFUL PATRIOTISM AN OFFENCE? Can unfurling the National Flag at Jantar Mantar be wrong merely because citizens are protesting? The National Flag represents our Constitution, freedom and the sacrifices of countless Indians. It belongs to every citizen, including those who peacefully question the government. Articles 19(1)(a) and 19(1)(b) of the Constitution guarantee freedom of speech and expression and the right to assemble peacefully without arms, subject to constitutionally permissible restrictions. Is Jantar Mantar a “Prohibited Place”? Section 2(8) of the Official Secrets Act, 1923, defines a “prohibited place” by reference to specified defence establishments and other places falling within the statutory definition. Certain other locations require a Central Government notification in the Official Gazette, subject to the applicable statutory conditions. Jantar Mantar does not automatically become a prohibited place under the Official Secrets Act merely because it is a protest venue or because restrictions are imposed on public gatherings. Authorities may regulate protests under other applicable laws or lawful orders. However, regulating a gathering does not, by itself, convert the venue into a “prohibited place” under the Official Secrets Act. What Has the Supreme Court Said? In Mazdoor Kisan Shakti Sangathan v. Union of India (2018), the Supreme Court recognised the importance of peaceful protest and addressed the need to balance protesters’ fundamental rights with the rights of residents and the public. The legal position is clear in principle: peaceful protest is a constitutional right, but it remains subject to lawful and reasonable restrictions. Is Unfurling the Tricolour an Offence? The Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act, 1971, and the Flag Code of India govern the respectful display and use of the National Flag. Unfurling the Tricolour is not, by itself, automatically an offence. Any allegation must be assessed against the applicable law, the circumstances and any specific lawful restriction. If an authority alleges a violation, it should identify the particular law or order and explain how the conduct contravened it. THE CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION If citizens peacefully unfurl the National Flag to express their grievances, the issue is not whether they love their country. The issue is whether their conduct violates a specific, applicable legal restriction. Patriotism and peaceful dissent are not mutually exclusive. Respect for the National Flag must coexist with respect for the Constitution that protects our freedoms. THE TRICOLOUR BELONGS TO THE PEOPLE OF INDIA. PEACEFUL DISSENT IS NOT, BY ITSELF, DISLOYALTY TO THE NATION. Jai Hind! Col Amit Kumar, Veteran

WHEN INSTITUTIONS BOW TO POWER, DEMOCRACY BEGINS TO DIE! It increasingly appears that the heads of our institutions, which are constitutionally expected to function independently and fearlessly, have become mere puppets in the hands of the ruling regime. If institutions meant to uphold the Constitution, protect citizens' rights, and hold those in power accountable begin to appear subservient to the political executive, it raises deeply disturbing questions about the health of our democracy. A democracy cannot survive on elections alone; it survives on independent institutions, fearless dissent, and the rule of law. When institutional independence is compromised, accountability weakens, public trust erodes, and the concentration of power becomes dangerous. The greatest threat to democracy is not merely an authoritarian government, but the gradual weakening of the institutions that are supposed to restrain its authority. A government may change through elections, but if institutions lose their independence, the very spirit of democracy stands endangered.
