Wow! ECI says in its affidavit that “Declaration NOT a part of Form 6” but in its press release of 26.9.2026, it said “The declaration attached to Form 6 for SIR has been upheld by the Hon’ble Supreme Court.” ECI indulging in word play to avoid accountability?!

Esto escribía en 2018. “Lula: ‘Cometí el crimen de poner pobres en la universidad, de poner negros en la universidad, pobres comiendo carne, viajando en avión. Por ese crimen me acusan’. Y es verdad. Por eso se lo ama y se lo odia. Lo demás son excusas, operaciones, tácticas y relato”. Hoy Lula vuelve a ser elegido presidente de Brasil, por cuarta vez. Y sigo pensando lo mismo. La clase alta no le perdona que haya distribuido la riqueza y reconocido derechos a quienes siempre quedaron afuera. Por eso mismo el pueblo lo elige, lo sigue y lo defiende. #Lula13

Congratulations to Lula and the people of Brazil on the historic fourth presidential term. Salute to the Workers' Party, PCdoB and other progressive and democratic forces who valiantly fought to make this victory possible. Your remarkable campaign showed the world that the politics of hatred and division can be defeated when the people stand united. This victory offers hope to people's movements everywhere fighting for workers’ rights, social justice and public welfare. The youth who took to the streets to defend democracy will reinvigorate our own youth who are fighting the same battle here. The people have spoken — Brazil is no one’s backyard!

"Voters must "choose a country where the flag is respected," nearly 81 year old Lula said, his raspy voice more hoarse than ever after a tireless campaign. He accused his rival of wanting to "govern with the American flag." thehindu.com/news/internatio…

At least 61,059 Form-7 applications seeking the deletion of names from Karnataka’s electoral rolls were filed by election officials themselves, with not a single application mentioning a reason for the deletion, a mandatory requirement under the Registration of Electors Rules, 1960. ✍️@pon_vasanth and @rishitaakhanna thehindu.com/news/national/k…

EC refusing to name the software used to flag “errors” in voter rolls during SIR, citing “trade secrets n IPR… “ Yet it also claims “no new software has been developed or procured.” So what exactly is the secret tool that flagged crores of voters? In a democracy, tools deciding who stays on the electoral roll cannot be commercial secrets. Other counties like Estonia or Switzerland do disclose the same. And Brazil opens its systems to scrutiny. Our EC hides behind proprietary n confidential pretexts while crores are deleted or flagged. Opacity is not confidence building but it’s evasion or subversion! #SIR #ElectionCommission

Absolutely true. The Delhi police brutally beat up protesters in buses & police stations. They first snatched the phones of the protesters, so that the criminal brutality could not be recorded. Though police stations are required to have CCTVs, police buses don’t.! They must also be required to have CCTVs
