It is standard procedure to issue a preliminary report followed by an exhaustive detailed report later. There is precedent where detailed reports have been released up to a year later. Aviation safety is not a Mickey Mouse subject that Bhushan needs to meddle in, one wonders what his interest is. At least he needs to wait as to what the final report says before filing petitions. Also, it seems SC has too much time on its hands looks like.. Also having the regulator is standard practice as well in the enquiry.
Having said that the point about the report leaking before hand is correct. Also one wonders what the point was of including the pilot conversation in the interim report without proper context.

Re: Modi 3.0 - Bharat
The agenda of the Leader of Opposition is crystal clear.
In his so-called “Hydrogen Bomb” press conference, he openly admitted that, as LoP, his role is not to protect democracy but to attack the government.
This exposes his true intention — to create chaos rather than contribute constructively.
Even Yogendra Yadav is echoing the same line, showing how a coordinated malicious information campaign is being run to mislead the public and gain political advantage.
India deserves a Leader of Opposition who respects and upholds our democratic values — not one who undermines them through such behaviour.

'Those Who Claim There Is No God Are Now Giving Classes On Bhagavad Gita': Annamalai Slams Vijayan Over Global Ayyappa Sangamam
https://swarajyamag.com/news-brief/thos ... a-sangamam
Criticising the Left government’s Global Ayyappa Sangamam and Tamil Nadu’s Global Muruga Conference, he remarked, “It was Stalin and his son Udhayanidhi who spoke about eradicating Sanatana Dharma and it was Pinarayi Vijayan who invited Stalin. The Muruga conference was held in Madurai and Pinarayi merely replicated it here in Kerala.”
He took a direct swipe at Vijayan’s public references to Hindu scriptures, stating, “Those who claim there is no god are now giving classes on Bhagavad Gita. If you quote from Chapter 12, at least learn that there are chapters beyond it as well.”
Drawing from Tiruvalluvar’s writings, Annamalai added that betraying citizens and misusing laws was a graver crime than murder.
He linked this to the 2018–19 Sabarimala temple protests, saying, “That is exactly what Pinarayi did at Pandalam during 2018–19. Using the power at his disposal, he caused hardship to lakhs of Ayyappa devotees.”
The event drew a large crowd and featured BJP MP Tejasvi Surya, Union Minister and Kerala BJP chief Rajeev Chandrasekhar, senior leader Kummanam Rajasekharan, and leaders from Hindu organisations.
Organised with support from Sangh Parivar affiliates, it was positioned as a counter to the Travancore Devaswom Board’s Global Ayyappa Sangamam at Pampa two days earlier.

A polite request: if one is putting in links to non English videos, it would be great if you summarize what it is about. I would be interested in what Annamalai says but there is the langauge barrier prevents it. Even a couple of lines is fine…
Re: Modi 3.0 - Bharat
Tanaji added some details that I could find. Usually it's not possible to find the links or complete speech is multiple languages. These are the barrier being exploited. So what we Indians could do is expand our language skills beyond the comfort zone and be truly Multi lingual from Kashmir to Kanyakumari as much as possible as well. Not a request to you alone. But to all BRFites. Especially watching movies do help in bridging that gap.

Shashi Tharoor DESTROYS Tucker Carlson's Colonial Claims on British Raj in India
Shashi Tharoor slams Tucker Carlson’s racist remarks on Britain's colonial legacy in India.
In an episode of the new RT series 'Imperial Receipts', Indian politician and author Dr. Shashi Tharoor takes on the oft-repeated colonial narrative that the British “gave” India civilization through the architecture and infrastructure they left behind.
Responding to American presenter Tucker Carlson’s claim that India has not produced a building as beautiful as the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus since independence, Tharoor calls the remark “fatuous” and historically ignorant.
Tharoor reminds viewers that the British arrived in a land already rich with civilizational grandeur — from the Taj Mahal and Humayun’s Tomb to the Padmanabhaswamy Temple, monuments of breathtaking beauty dotted India's landscape long before the British Raj began.
Drawing sharp comparisons, Tharoor asks why the United States, in over two centuries of independence, has never produced anything remotely close to such marvels.
He also highlights the darker, more destructive side of colonial legacies, citing how British soldiers used the statues of Elephanta Caves as target practice, blowing off noses, ears, and limbs of exquisite carvings.

The letter penned by SCBA President and Senior Advocate Vikas Singh has also highlighted that the present Collegium system of judicial appointment faces structural flaws as it ignores talented lawyers in the Supreme Court Bar for elevation to High Courts.
Further, the letter flags a troubling underrepresentation of women in the higher judiciary.
“As of February 2024, women constituted merely 9.5% of the sanctioned strength in High Courts and a stark 2.94% in the Supreme Court”, the letter reads.
The letter thus demands an urgent correction in the current framework by bringing a fresh Memorandum of Procedure (MoP) that shall have a Permanent and Independent Secretariat, objective criteria for selection and an accountability mechanism.

Gavai’s satisfaction on the judgement against the bulldozer action tells a story of judicial overreach
Seen in conjunction with his reprehensible comments on the Hindus, the above remarks are not as innocent or naive as they sound
this guy is seriously harbouring political ambitions post retirement, and is using the office as a pulpit to preach to his obvious and perceived vote banks
papooze shot his bolt a long time ago and has been dumped by the BIF, khujli preferred cold cash in the black, in addition to his support from the BIF, but he has tanked too, mired in the major train wreck of corruption charges, that have seen him compulsorily take up temporary residence in tihar
it now appears that a new puppet is fast rising, and this guy has prime ministerial ambitions and he will continue to demean his office until his retirement with many more politically rabid comments. (misusing the "stature" of his office, while simultaneously playing the dalit caste card)
In case, a nepal is precipitated in India, this puppet will emerge as a credible alternative, and he is a dalit, as he himself has made amply clear on numerous occasions to push his bandwagon and to clearly underline his stake in the political sweepstakes

India’s democracy threatened by vote-rigging, says Gandhi
Opposition leader’s comments signal collapse of confidence in the electoral commission

Published 5 hours ago
The world’s largest democracy is under siege from systematic vote-rigging by the government of Narendra Modi, the leader of India’s opposition has alleged in an interview with the Financial Times.
Rahul Gandhi, scion of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty that controls the Indian National Congress party, claimed there has been centralised manipulation of the voter rolls to “steal elections”, with the assistance of India’s electoral commission.
His remarks mark a breakdown in a sprawling democracy where there have often been allegations of voting irregularities but all parties have historically accepted the results of elections.
“We’ve been noticing anomalies in our election system as a political party for a long time,” said Gandhi, accusing the prime minister of the country of 1.4bn people of overseeing the alleged vote-rigging. “The guy at the top of the system has to do it,” he said. Modi’s office did not reply to a request for comment.
Gandhi’s comments come ahead of what analysts see as a closely contested state election in Bihar due in November. Opposition parties, including Congress, have been questioning the Election Commission of India’s decision to review the list of eligible voters in the northern state just months before the vote.
Modi’s nationalist Bharatiya Janata party, which performed below expectations and had to rely on allies to form a government following its third consecutive electoral victory last year, has won several state elections — including Haryana, Maharashtra and the capital region, Delhi — during the past year.
Gandhi and the Congress party did not provide evidence to show who was behind the alleged manipulation or that it was on a scale large enough to affect election results.
Gandhi provided what he said was sample evidence from elections in the states of Karnataka and Maharashtra, showing alleged deleted and duplicate voters, invalid addresses and bulk registrations at single locations.
The FT was unable to verify the evidence.
Gandhi’s comments form part of “a political strategy to say that the electoral commission, which is supposed to be a very impartial and neutral body, has steadily been hollowed out in the last 11 years,” said Nilanjan Mukhopadhyay, a political writer and author of Narendra Modi: The Man, The Times.
“Rahul is looking at a short timeline, looking immediately at the impending elections in Bihar, taking on this from a national perspective, therefore focusing on Bihar to thoroughly discredit the Election Commission.”
According to a survey published last month by the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies, a New Delhi-based research institution, confidence in India’s electoral body has dropped since the 2019 general election in all the six states surveyed. Overall, over half of respondents believed the election commission to be “working under pressure from the central government”.
The BJP and the Election Commission have both denied the rigging accusations. The commission said in a statement on Thursday that Gandhi’s claims about it were “incorrect and baseless”.
This week, at a political rally in Bihar, one of India’s most impoverished states, India’s home minister and Modi’s closest ally, Amit Shah, hit out at Gandhi, accusing him of spreading a “false narrative”.
Anurag Thakur, a member of parliament with the BJP, told reporters that it had “become a habit of Rahul Gandhi to make incorrect and baseless allegations”. He added: “The Congress party has lost approximately 90 elections under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi. His frustration is increasing day by day.”
Milan Vaishnav, director of the South Asia programme at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said the vulnerabilities of Indian elections should not be overhyped, but “pretty serious cracks” were appearing in their conduct.
“The credibility of the election commission, which is widely seen as one of the most powerful elections bodies in the world, has really eroded, in part because they no longer appear to be truly independent,” Vaishnav said.
Indian politics was dominated by Congress and the Nehru-Gandhi clan for much of its post-independence history.
But the party and India’s broader centre left has been seen as a waning force in recent years, with some critics asserting that the family’s dominance of Congress was an obstacle to its progress and an easy target for the populist BJP because of its dynastic heritage.
The Congress party has also faced allegations of election fraud in the past.
In 1975, the late former prime minister Indira Gandhi, Rahul’s grandmother, was convicted of electoral malpractice during the general election four years before.
She then imposed a state of emergency under which civil liberties were suspended and political opponents jailed. India’s Supreme Court later overturned the malpractice verdict against her.
Gandhi said his party’s strategy is to challenge the integrity of India’s electoral system by building public pressure.
“We are playing the game of mass mobilisation. That’s the only way we have,” he said. “It is going to end there because there are huge parts of this country that, simply, will not accept a rigged election.”
