BJP lectures the nation on patriotism, while the RSS’s own history of opposing the Tricolour demands answers. The Tricolour belongs to every Indian. Patriotism isn’t your monopoly, and democracy isn’t your private shakha!
#WATCH दुमका, झारखंड: भाजपा सांसद निशिकांत दुबे ने कहा, "पिछले दिनों दिल्ली की सड़के लगातार परेशान रही थीं। 10 से 15 दिनों तक दिल्ली में ऐसा लग रहा था कि वहां कोई नियम और कानून नहीं है... वहां तिरंगे का जिस तरह से प्रयोग किया जा रहा था तो लग रहा था मानो तिरंगे का कोई मान और सम्मान नहीं है। तिरंगा घर में लहराने के लिए भी एक प्रोटोकॉल हुआ करता था... विपक्ष के नेता राहुल गांधी पिछले 10 सालों में कम से कम 270 बार विदेश गए हैं..."

Welcome back brothers @AshutoshRanka @SauravDassss
CJP leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka were released from judicial custody on Wednesday, 21 October, after spending seven days in Tihar Jail. A Special Executive Magistrate (SEM) in Delhi ordered their release after the Delhi Police sought a further three-day extension of their custody. The two were arrested on 14 October for allegedly entering the restricted protest site at Jantar Mantar and violating peace bonds. Initially remanded to five days in judicial custody, their detention was extended by another two days on 19 October. Earlier on Wednesday, the two leaders withdrew their petition before the Delhi High Court challenging the extension of their custody.

Since when does the right to protest come with an age limit? Whether 17, 27 or 37, every citizen has the right to dissent. Democracy must protect the right to protest, not question its legitimacy based on age. Release Ashu and Saurav now! @abhijeet_dipke @Cockroachisback @whattalawyer

A person’s age cannot determine the legitimacy of their dissent. The right to protest is not reserved for Gen Z, nor does it expire at 30. The focus must be on personal liberty and due process, not how old Saurav and Ashutosh are. Release Ashu and Saurav!
INTERESTING: The Delhi High Court judge seemed more interested in the age of Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka than their personal liberty . By the way, Judge Saheb, Saurav is born in Jan 2000 so is very much Gen Z. And Ashutosh is 31. By the way, what difference does age make here is beyond me. 🙏

How does it matter, Hon Delhi High Court? Is standing for democratic ethos of the nation not enough?

🚨 Delhi Police stops AISF and AIYF from burning CEC Gyanesh Kumar’s effigy on the eve of Dussehra! In the national capital, student and youth activists were stopped from protesting against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Is raising your voice against those in power a crime in a democracy? ✊ Barricades cannot silence dissent. Our democratic struggle will continue! #AISF #AIYF #GyaneshKumar #DelhiPolice #StudentProtest

What do you think folks?
This Dussehra, how about a Putla Dahan of dictators and those who are trampling our democracy? Let’s burn the evils of authoritarianism, electoral manipulation, and the erosion of democratic accountability. Defend the Vote. Challenge Dictatorship. Save Democracy! 🇮🇳✊ #ECI #SaveDemocracy #gyaneshkumar

AISF strongly condemns the suspension and rustication of students at Jamia Millia Islamia for demanding the restoration of students’ union elections. Students have been denied elected representation since 2006. Their demand for campus democracy deserves dialogue, not disciplinary action. Restore JMI Students’ Union. Stop victimising protesting students! #AISF #JamiaMilliaIslamia #CampusDemocracy

Reports suggest that @abhijeet_dipke has been granted bail. Awaiting clarity on the conditions if any… The fight isn’t over until Saurav Das, Ashutosh Ranka and all other detained comrades are free. ✊
Why is @abhijeet_dipke’s hearing being delayed? What is causing this continued uncertainty? Every delay raises more questions. We deserve clarity and accountability.

A hearing scheduled for 12 PM, and hours later, there is still no clarity. Delaying the process while people remain detained raises serious concerns about justice and accountability. AISF demands the immediate release of Abhijeet Dipke, Saurav Das, Ashutosh Ranka and all other detainees. Liberty cannot be held hostage to endless delays.
The hearing was supposed to happen at 12PM. It’s 3:38PM and no sign of it. If this isn’t deliberate then what is? Release Saurav, Ashutosh and Abhijeet along with other detainees. You can’t take away people’s liberty by delaying the entire process.
