Overwhelmed at this recognition by the Danish Siddiqui Journalism Award by Danish Siddiqui Foundation. Danish embodied the unyielding spirit of journalism till his last breath, so to be named in the same sentence as him is a privilege. The jury saw value in my series "All In The Family", which tracked the family lineages of over 700 sitting high court and Supreme Court judges. The series isn't merely about bloodlines or legacies. It is a piece that I think tells several stories all at once: stories of representation, of who shapes the people who shape our justice, and most importantly, of transparency in the appointment process. Which is why it was good to see that soon after this article, for the first time ever, the Supreme Court released the list of judges appointed in recent years, with detailed disclosure on caste, gender and family lineages. This story wouldn't have been born without my editors at ThePrintIndia, Shekhar Gupta and DK Singh, and without the support of my family. It does take a village and I'm happy to have found mine. Also, do check out the other winning entries because I came back home feeling extremely inspired.

During the funeral of an Afghan official in Kabul, a speaker addressing the gathering claimed that Aafia Siddiqui is being tortured due to what he described as oppression by Pakistan. He further said that Aafia Siddiqui is imprisoned in what he called a “prison of infidels,” while, according to him, people remain silent. In his speech, he also addressed the Afghan Taliban, stating that, in his view, jihad against Pakistan is obligatory for all.

“Male journalists should Boycott the rest of his visit” - senior journalist Padma Rao Sundarji has this sharp response to women journalists being kept out the Taliban press meet. The Taliban FM Amir Khan Muttaqi is in Delhi in a dramatic reset of relations between India and Afghanistan. While the foreign ministry has been asked by the political opposition and women in the media as to why it did not intervene and stop this from happening; Padma says the silence of male colleagues who did not even ask a single question of the Taliban on the absent women, is just as galling. In a statement just out the MEA has said it had nothing to do with the decision - the embassy grounds are technically the property of the country concerned - however the controversy reminds the world and India that while geopolitics will always have its own hard logic, engaging the Taliban, even if it to send a much needed message to Trump and Pakistan and secure India’s national security interest, will come with its own challenges.

Journalists- women and men- walking into the #Afghanistan embassy in Delhi for another press conference by Taliban Min Muttaqi following the last presser row. The original Afghan flag still flutters at the embassy with the Taliban and their black and white flag yet to be recognised. Cannot have gender discriminated press conferences in India- a needed course correction and precedent set for future engagement between Taliban 2.0 and New Delhi.

Taliban Foreign Minister Calls Recent Dispute with Pakistan a Problem with “Pakistan’s Military Circles” Mullah Amir Khan Muttaqi, the Taliban’s Foreign Minister, says that the recent dispute between the group and Pakistan is a problem between the Taliban and the military circles of the Pakistani government. Mullah Muttaqi claims that over the past four years, Pakistan has committed violations of Afghanistan’s territory. The Foreign Minister also alleges that ISIS fighters are being trained on Pakistani soil. He adds that one of Pakistan’s demands is the relocation of TTP fighters into Afghan territory, which, according to him, is not feasible. #aamajnews

We Support the Boycott of the Cricket Team : Despite the severe restrictions on sports, the systematic enforcement of gender apartheid, and widespread human rights violations by the Taliban, the Afghanistan cricket team has failed to take any steps in support of the Afghanistan people—especially women—over the past three years. Instead, they have directly or indirectly contributed to legitimizing and whitewashing the self-proclaimed Taliban regime. Such actions have tarnished the national identity of the team, leading many Afghanistan citizens to refer to it as the “Taliban Cricket Team.” While the achievements and reputation of the national cricket team are a national asset belonging to the citizens of Afghanistan, the team has been systematically exploited by the Taliban to advance their illegitimate and sinister objectives. This betrayal of national interests not only undermines the people of Afghanistan but also strengthens the Taliban's oppressive policies. We call for increased pressure and the imposition of comprehensive and meaningful sanctions on all parties and individuals lobbying for the Taliban or otherwise contributing to the whitewashing of this group. We firmly believe that the national interests of Afghanistan cannot be served through engagement with the Taliban or by legitimizing them. Instead, the true national interest lies in the overthrow of the Taliban’s self-imposed and illegitimate regime and the liberation of the Afghanistan people—especially women, vulnerable ethnic groups, and religious minorities—from their oppression. Therefore, we, as female athletes inside Afghanistan, support the boycott of the Afghanistan cricket team. We urge the International Cricket Council (ICC) and its members to take decisive and firm actions to prevent the Taliban from using this team as a tool for propaganda and to strengthen their political and media presence. We call upon all international organizations, sports institutions, and countries that uphold human values and justice to impose strong and comprehensive pressure on the Taliban and their supporters and to refrain from recognizing the self-declared Taliban regime. We emphasize that the Taliban are neither reformable nor capable of meaningful dialogue with the Afghanistan people. Any opportunity granted to this group amounts to endorsing systemic oppression and committing a grave injustice against the Afghanistan people. #Right_Justice_Freedom Committee for Health and Sports the purple Saturdays Movement Date: January 18, 2025

So it turns out Ahmed Patel - acting on instructions of those who were rattled by the idea of PM Narendra Modi ji (then Gujarat CM) being interviewed by Shahid Siddiqui for his magazine. The result? Siddiqui was summarily expelled from the Samajwadi Party simply for publishing an interview. And these very same Congress and SP leaders love to lecture the nation on “freedom of expression”.

It is deeply tragic to see the Taliban brutally beat #Afghanistan women simply for participating in protests to demand their most basic rights. It is equally concerning that #India 🇮🇳 , the world’s largest democracy, few weeks ago, invited the Taliban regime’s foreign minister despite its record of oppressing women and gender apartheid and legitimate the regime oppression against the women of Afghanistan.

I met with Denmark’s Minister for Industry, Business and Financial Affairs Morten Bødskov. Before our conversation, I accepted the letters of credence from the new Danish Ambassador to Ukraine, Thomas Lund-Sørensen, and congratulated him on the start of his diplomatic mission. We recently visited Copenhagen, and I am grateful to Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, the government, and the entire Danish people for their unwavering support for Ukraine since the first days of the full-scale invasion. Today, the minister and I discussed the continuation of our defense cooperation, the participation of Danish companies in Ukraine’s reconstruction, and the development of joint projects. The Danish model has helped boost the production of our drones and missiles, ensuring a real contribution to our resilience. Thank you, Denmark. We look forward to continuing such productive relations.

#TTP in Afghanistan! A newly found cemetery in Paktika exposes the hidden nexus between the Afghan Taliban and TTP. All of those buried there , presented as TTP militants , are in fact Afghan Taliban militants who exported by the Taliban regime to fought and died in Pakistan between March and August of this year and as u see, buried with the #TTP flag even. The Taliban regime in Paktika built graves for them, openly honoring militants who are anti-Pakistan and killing the Pakistani children under the name of so-called JIHAD. THIS IS EXACTLY WHY PAKISTAN NEEDS TO COLLABORATE WITHT THE ANTI TALIBAN RESISTANCE TO COUNTER THE TTP AND THE TALIBAN TO CHANGE CURRENT TERRORIST REGIME IN #AFGHANISTAN. #Afghanistan #Pakistan

Today, Local Taliban officials in Paktika, escorted the bodies of several TTP slain militants in Ranger vehicles for burial in Barmal district of the province. This not only exposes the true face of the Taliban and their false claims regarding the TTP’s presence in Afghanistan, but also clearly violates one of the provisions of the Doha Agreement, which stipulates that Afghanistan must not be turned into a safe haven for terrorists. The Taliban have revealed their deception and lies, breaking the devil’s horn in the process.
