https://theprint.in/diplomacy/intellexa-leaks-how-a-us-sanctioned-israeli-spyware-was-used-on-pakistanis/2799772/  Intellexa is widely regarded as one of the most notorious “mercenary spyware companies”, a term used by civil society groups and security researchers to describe private firms that develop surveillance tools and market them to governments.

Pakistani military expert and activist Ayesha Siddiqa said Tools like advanced spyware, she warned, would be used “to cow down civil society”, suppress protests and silence political dissent—behaviour she described as characteristic of authoritarian regimes. .. Pakistan on Friday rejected the Amnesty International report, dismissing the findings as unfounded and misleading.

Spyware makers such as NSO Group and Paragon have long insisted that they bear no responsibility for how customers use their tools, claiming they sell only to vetted governments fighting serious crime and terrorism and that they cannot see whom those governments target

A mere ₹200 crore will be squandered on a new state office!

And this is the same Uttar Pradesh—
where hospitals have no beds,
government schools have no teachers,
village roads are in ruins,
youth have no jobs,
and farmers don't see the value of their hard work!

But they want—
👉 Offices with air-conditioned rooms
👉 High-tech war rooms
👉 VIP parking
👉 Interiors worth lakhs
👉 Security worth crores

But the question is, what could have been done for the public with ₹200 crore?

✅ 2,000 homes could have been built for poor families (assuming a cost of 1 lakh per home)

✅ 40 modern government schools could have been built (~5 crore per school)

✅ ICU wards could have been installed in 25 major government hospitals

✅ Free medicine centers could have been established in every major hospital in Lucknow

✅ 20,000 unemployed youth could have been provided training and employment

✅ 500 kilometers of roads could have been built or improved in villages

✅ 20,000 marriages of poor daughters could have taken place

What kind of "Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas" is this?

This is clearly "development of power"!

India’s new data rules put the state above citizens https://idronline.org/article/rights/indias-new-data-rules-put-the-state-above-citizens/

the new rules come eight years after the Supreme Court declared privacy to be a fundamental right. But while they provide immediate powers to the government, they postpone citizens’ rights by 18 months. 

The real substance of privacy—clear consent, the ability to take back permission, the right to correct or delete your data, and enforceable timelines for grievances—will not come into effect until mid-2027. 

there is no independence evident in the institutions that are meant to ensure accountability

"The answer lies in the details – in comparing specific provisions of the old laws with their equivalents in the new codes."

For example: "the most consequential change concerns retrenchment – the permanent termination of workers’ employment"... under the IDA 1947, establishments "employing 100 or more workers were required to obtain permission from the central or state government before laying off, retrenching, or closing down operations." Under the new code, "Companies with up to 300 employees can now retrench staff without any approval."

In its parliament reply, the government did not provide a complete list of all private companies in which LIC has invested and said that providing an "exhaustive, granular list of companies, in which LIC has invested, may not be commercially prudent and could affect LIC’s operational debt interests."  https://thewire.in/government/lic-has-invested-rs-48284-62-crore-in-adani-group-companies-government 

Two months after it was reported that the Narendra Modi government quietly devised a $3.9 billion plan to rescue Gautam Adani’s debt-laden conglomerate by directing money from the state-owned Life Insurance Corporation of India, the government has said in a parliament reply that LIC has invested a total of Rs 48,284.62 crore – Rs 38,658.85 crore in equity and Rs 9,625.77 crore in debt, in Adani Group companies.

ALL the PMs men!

आधी रात इस्तीफा,सरकार में खलबली | Modi के ऑफिस से Rahul को खबर लीक? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E50cQO0idPc  Congress leader Pawan Khera's press conference regarding Hiren Joshi and the late night resignation of Navneet Sehgal, who was serving as the Chairman of Prasar Bharati, are being discussed in political circles. 

POst by India Awakened: https://x.com/IndiaAwakened_/status/1996476525835624811 Dec 04-2025

There is Hiren Joshi. Until yesterday, he was considered the most powerful person in the PMO (Prime Minister's Office). It is said that a major part of his identity was that he was the head of Headlines Management—channels would receive orders from him about what to air, what to suppress, and what to manage! ​Well, after managing news, since yesterday, he himself is the news—the allegation is that he was operating the Mahadev Betting App while sitting in the PMO.  ​Nobody knows where he is now—there's no information! There's chatter that he has quietly slipped away to a country with "safe hands."

​Then there is his associate, Hitesh Jain—he was made a member of the Law Commission just in April. He had a keen interest in laws related to betting. His resignation has been taken, and his bungalow has also been vacated.

​The third is Navneet Sehgal—from our own Uttar Pradesh. Rajnath, Mulayam Ji, Mayawati, Akhilesh, Yogi—no matter who the CM was, he was in everyone's good books: he always received the best postings under every regime. He was currently the director of Prasar Bharati—with a full year left in his term, but he too has resigned and disappeared.

​There is silence in the Godi Media —
​The Print had published the news. The Hindi part is still opening; but if you click to read the English version, it shows 404, meaning it's missing!
​But amidst all this, another bizarre news story is circulating—that an illegal Indian immigrant in Germany was sitting next to the famous actress from Lord of the Rings in the metro and didn't even recognize her! Shocked by this, the entire German media tracked him down and asked why he didn't recognize 'Messi' (the actress). The anonymous man gave a profound philosophical answer that when you don't have a single Euro in your pocket and are traveling illegally, what difference does it make who is sitting next to you! Following this, the newspaper was supposedly so impressed that they immediately gave him a job, and so on!

​All the "warriors" on Indian social media are gushing over this second news story!

​The amazing thing is that nothing like this ever happened in Germany! There is no such news in any of their newspapers. However, this "story" has certainly helped to keep the news about Hiren, Hitesh, and Navneet out of the limelight!
​This country has truly become a nation of zombies!

‘Totally meant for business houses’: Senior advocate Gayatri Singh on new Labour Codes

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXld_51qzho   For 80 years, the World Bank and IMF have fueled displacement, inequality, fossil dependence, and authoritarian regimes—while claiming to fight poverty. The Balance Sheet exposes their legacy and sinister designs, and celebrates global resistance by adivasis, women, and marginalised communities who dared to challenge their exploitative development model.
