बेगूसराय में दर्ज ये FIR एक पत्रकार के तौर पर मेरे लिए सर्टिफिकेट की तरह है . चुनाव आयोग के ' SIR ' पर खुलासे का ये अंजाम तो होना ही था . इसी पोस्ट के कॉमेंट बॉक्स में मेरा वीडियो है . उस वीडियो में चुनाव आयोग की को खामियां दिख रही हैं , उनका जवाब देने की बजाय मुझ पर FIR कर दी…
Unfortunate to see how an elected Chief Minister is treated by police, under central government, in his own state. No declared emergency but still .....
This is the physical grappling I was subjected to but I am made of sterner stuff & was not to be stopped. I was doing nothing unlawful or illegal. In fact these “protectors of the law” need to explain under what law they were trying to stop us from offering Fatiha

President Trump’s decision to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities, after earlier denouncing U.S. embroilment in foreign wars, introduces another complication for China’s leaders trying to fathom how he might handle conflict over Taiwan. @ChuBailiang nytimes.com/2025/06/26/wor…
I am frozen at that one second, where the little boy — in his cute overalls & cute suitcase — looks back at the man, then looks ahead again. To want to extinguish that innocence, that acceptance. That little light. (Iran’s embassy in Moscow has said the boy is from Afghanistan)
