Propaganda can shape perceptions—but it cannot rewrite history. For years, a relentless political campaign has sought to portray the Gandhi family as the embodiment of corruption and anti-nationalism. Repetition of allegations, however, is not the same as proof. In this clip, Priyanka Gandhi does not respond with personal attacks.... She asks a simple democratic question: Where is the evidence? She urges Parliament to debate unemployment, inflation, paper leaks, and the everyday struggles of ordinary Indians instead of recycling political propaganda. Every political family in India has faced criticism, and the Emergency imposed by Indira Gandhi remains a serious and legitimate subject of historical debate. But beyond that chapter, the contributions of the Nehru-Gandhi family to India's freedom movement and nation-building are substantial and well documented. Jawaharlal Nehru spent years in British prisons during the freedom struggle, and under his leadership institutions such as the IITs, AIIMS, DRDO, and major public sector enterprises were established—institutions that continue to serve the nation today. Democracy demands that citizens distinguish between verified facts and sustained political messaging. Patriotism is not determined by slogans or propaganda; it is measured by sacrifice, public service, and commitment to the Republic. A mature democracy deserves debates based on evidence—not narratives repeated until they are mistaken for truth.show more

The speaker argues that the current student protests over exam paper leaks should not be limited to demanding the resignation of the Education Minister. Instead, he claims the root cause lies with the central government, alleging that institutions such as the Election Commission and the electoral system have been compromised. Key themes include: Criticism of the Prime Minister, the BJP, RSS, and the Union government. Allegations that repeated exam paper leaks reflect systemic governance failures. Calls for a broader political movement rather than a single-issue protest. Strong criticism of EVMs and advocacy for a return to paper ballots. Claims that democratic institutions have been weakened. Criticism of India's foreign policy, particularly regarding the US, Israel, Iran, China, and oil imports. Appeals for youth and citizens to participate in peaceful, sustained democratic movements. The video primarily expresses political opinions and allegations, many of which are disputed or not established as fact. For example: Claims that elections cannot be won unless permitted by the Prime Minister are political assertions, not proven facts. Statements about the Election Commission being completely controlled or elections being predetermined remain matters of political debate rather than judicially established conclusions. References to exam paper leaks are grounded in real incidents, but the attribution of responsibility to specific political actors is the speaker's interpretation. This video is less a news report and more a political speech. It mixes genuine public concerns—such as exam paper leaks, unemployment, and institutional accountability—with strong political accusations and personal opinions. Some criticisms are based on real events, while many broader conclusions are contested and should not be accepted as established facts without independent evidence. A healthy democracy allows criticism of governments, but it also requires citizens to distinguish between verified facts, political opinion, and rhetorical claims.

#WATCH | Delhi: On Congress MP Imran Masood's statement, Chairperson, Delhi State Haj Committee Kausar Jahan says, "Whether it is Rahul Gandhi or Priyanka Gandhi, they are not even capable of winning a couple of seats in the states, let alone becoming Prime Minister... The country has chosen a strong leader in Narendra Modi as Prime Minister, and there is no vacancy for this position for many years to come. Imran Masood's statements certainly reveal that all is not well between the Congress party and the Gandhi family. Separate power centres have emerged within the family and the party, and Rahul and Priyanka, the brother and sister, are pursuing different agendas. The Congress party is in a coma and desperately needs serious political treatment."

Listen to Salman Khurshid ji as he reads out CPP Chairperson Smt. Sonia Gandhi ji's message. 👇 "The Constitution of India is more than a legal charter. It is the moral foundation of our democracy, built on Justice, Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity. It was shaped through the sacrifices and vision of the Indian National Congress. Even before Independence, the Congress party imagined a constitution by Indians, for Indians. From the Nehru Report 1928 to the demand for a Constituent Assembly in 1934. Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru laid the groundwork, and Dr B R Ambedkar, as Chairman of the Drafting Committee, gave form to these ideals. He warned that without social and economic justice, political democracy would be just a top dressing. The Congress recognised this and acted on it, expanding rights, strengthening institutions, and upholding dignity and inclusion. Today, the constitution is under siege. The BJP-RSS, which never fought for freedom or upheld equality, now uses its power to dismantle the very framework it long opposed. Their ideological forebears glorified Manusmriti, rejected the tricolour, and envisioned a Hindu Rashtra, where democracy is hollow and discrimination is the law. In power, they've eroded institutions, criminalised dissent, targeted minorities and betrayed Dalits, Adivasis, OBCs and the working poor. Now they seek to erase socialism and secularism, pillars of Ambedkar's vision of equal citizenship. This is not reform, but an ideological coup replacing our democratic republic with a theocratic corporate state serving the powerful few. India yearns for the inclusive, just and democratic nation envisaged by our freedom fighters and constitution makers. That is what the Congress party stands and fights for. We will oppose every attempt to undermine the constitution, in parliament, in courts, and on the streets. This is not just political, it is our ideological commitment to defend every Indian's dignity. I commend Dr. Abhishek Manu Singhvi and his team for reigniting this vital conversation. Our mission is clear - to reclaim the republic and protect the rights of each and every person."

In the last press conference, it was asked what to do when the democratic structure is not working. What we are doing is making it absolutely clear to the people of India what has happened. We are informing the people that the Prime Minister and the Home Minister are not legitimately in government. Similarly, the CM of Haryana is not legitimately in government because it has been stolen. It's the same with the government of Maharashtra. India's Gen Z and the youth have the power to restore democracy with Satya and Ahimsa—by expressing their desire for a democratic India, by fighting for a democratic India and by resisting this wholesale theft and murder of the Constitution and democracy. : LoP Shri Rahul Gandhi 📍Delhi

It is inevitable that such a monumental figure (Pt. Nehru) will have his life and work analysed and critiqued — and that is indeed as it should be. Although the temptation to divorce him from his times, the challenges he had to face, and to look at him devoid of the historical context in which he functioned has become quite widespread. Yet, while we welcome ongoing analysis of his contributions, what is not acceptable is the systematic attempt being made to denigrate, distort, demean, and defame him. The sole objective of this is not only to diminish him as a personality and undermine his universally recognised role in India's independence struggle and his leadership in the early decades of an independent nation grappling with unprecedented problems, but also to demolish his multifaceted legacy in a crude and self-serving attempt to rewrite history. Analysis is one thing, but deliberate mischief with what he said, what he wrote, and what he did is quite another — and totally unacceptable. And who are the forces that have launched this project? We all know that they have worked for years and years—for decades—and finally, here they are. They belong to an ideology that had no role whatsoever in our freedom movement, that had no role whatsoever in the making of our Constitution. In fact, they even burnt it and were totally against it. It is an ideology that long ago fanned an atmosphere of hate that ultimately led to the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi ji. His killers today continue to be glorified by its adherents. It is an ideology that has consistently rejected the ideals of our founding fathers. It is an ideology with a bigoted and viciously communal outlook. Its approach to nationhood is based on stoking prejudices of all kinds. Let there be no doubt whatsoever that the project to vilify Jawaharlal Nehru ji is the main objective of the ruling establishment today. Their goal is not just to erase him; it is actually to destroy the social, political, and economic foundations on which our nation has been founded and built. The road ahead is not easy. But there is simply no option but for each one of us, individually and collectively, to stand up and confront this project. We not only owe it to the memory of Jawaharlal Nehru ji and his comrades—we owe it to ourselves, and even more to the coming generations. : CPP Chairperson Smt.

The Obidient Movement remains an organic movement driven by the self-sacrifice, commitment, and collective determination of Nigerians who believe that a New Nigeria is Possible. We align strongly with the ideas and principles of His Excellency, Mr. Peter Obi, who has consistently demonstrated a different approach to politics by challenging the dominance of a money-driven political system. While resources are important in politics, the excessive influence of money has caused significant harm to Nigeria's democratic development and the well-being of its people. As believers in democratic values, we are concerned about the deregistration of political parties such as ADC, AA, ZLP and APP. A vibrant democracy thrives on inclusiveness, political participation, and the availability of diverse platforms through which citizens can freely express their aspirations and choices. The future of Nigeria's democracy must be built on fairness, inclusion, credible institutions, and the active participation of citizens. The Obidient Movement will continue to advocate for good governance, accountability, and a democratic culture that empowers the people rather than wealth and political influence. — Dr. Yunusa Tanko National Coordinator, Obidient Movement

It is a pleasure to be with you this evening to celebrate the memory and contribution of our first Prime Minister, Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru. He was the prime architect of the modern Indian nation-state. His was a life anchored firmly in parliamentary democracy. He had a steadfast belief in planned economic growth and a profound commitment to the development of scientific temper alongside the development of scientific and technological capabilities. To him, secularism — in which he firmly believed — meant the celebration of India’s many diversities while strengthening its fundamental unity. His legacy continues to shape our everyday lives. Decades have gone by since his time, but he continues to serve as a beacon of light to millions of our countrymen and women. It is inevitable that such a monumental figure will have his life and work analysed and critiqued — and that is indeed as it should be. Although the temptation to divorce him from his times and the challenges that he had to face and to look at him, devoid of the historical context in which he functioned has become quite widespread.

We not only owe it to the memory of Jawaharlal Nehru ji and his comrades—we owe it to ourselves, and even more to the coming generations. The unapologetic and fierce defence of the Nehruvian legacy is not an act of nostalgia. It is a commitment to restoring India's constitutional promise, to safeguarding reason in the face of propaganda, and to ensuring that our republic remains modern and forward-looking. If we succeed, it will not only honour Jawaharlal Nehru ji's memory; it will ensure that the India he envisioned remains a reality. At a time when tolerance in public life is shrinking, when dissent is painted as disloyalty, and history is reduced to partisan combat, Nehru ji's example becomes even more vital. He taught us that disagreement is not a threat but a democratic necessity—that unity does not demand uniformity; that a confident nation need not fear the truth about its past. Friends, there is some reason for hope. Last month, the Jawaharlal Nehru Memorial Fund also launched an archive which can be accessed at The archive is an easily searchable and freely downloadable digital archive—also, by the way, accessible on your smartphone. At present, it covers the hundred published volumes of his selected works, covering the period from 1903 till the day before he died. The archive will continue to expand. So, there it will be for you all to access any time you want to know something about what he said, what he wrote, or what he did. Sandeep Dixit's initiative, which has brought all of us here this evening, is another sincere attempt to take on this challenge of rescuing Nehru ji from the web of deception. And we need many, many more such initiatives across the length and breadth of our country. I will end by congratulating Sandeep and his team and wishing him and his colleagues the very best in their endeavours. Jai Hind! : CPP Chairperson Smt.

Did Gandhi and Nehru really divide India? Or were the real culprits someone else? For today’s political narratives, Gandhi and Nehru are often blamed for the creation of Pakistan. But the truth of history is very different. The Two-Nation Theory was first put forward by Savarkar and the Hindu Mahasabha. Jinnah and the Muslim League strongly demanded a separate nation. Mountbatten’s haste finally led to the Partition. In this video, IIT Professor Dr. Ram Puniyani Dr Ram Puniyani exposes how fake history spread through WhatsApp blames Gandhi and Nehru, while the real responsibility lies elsewhere.

The strengthening of democracy is not rooted in rigid doctrines but in the rhythms of everyday actions, behaviours, and practices of individual societies. Differences in opinions and approaches are inevitable; that is the beauty of democracy. It evolves with the needs of a people. Differences of political opinion or party aside, a common purpose unites us all - the aspiration to build a free, democratic, egalitarian, and humane Bangladesh. In the wake of the student-led and public uprising that toppled the previous autocratic regime, a rare and transformative opportunity has emerged to realise that common purpose. However, this opportunity is fragile. It must not be undermined by the schemes of exiled autocrats and their allies or by unnecessary divisions within the democratic forces dedicated to the nation’s progress. Vigilance and unity are imperative to safeguard this moment of potential. We need to continue putting the country's needs ahead of any personal or political gain. Establishing democratic norms won't be an easy path but I have full faith in the people of Bangladesh and their will to realise that norm.

What sacrifice has any leader of the BJP-RSS ever done for the nation? They did not even participate in the National Movement. For elections, Modi ji is lying to the people that their Mangalsutra shall not be safe. Congress governed this country for 55 years. Has that even happened once? Smt. Indira Gandhi donated her jewellery in the 1962 War. Pandit Motilal Nehru and Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru donated their home for Freedom Movement as Anand Bhawan in Allahabad. Our leaders have lived and sacrificed their life-blood for the nation.

The Gandhi family has played a defining role in my political journey, not merely through leadership, but through the faith they placed in me at different stages of my life. I often reflect on Shri Rajiv Gandhi avaru, who saw potential in a young worker even before I could see it in myself. His encouragement gave me the confidence to dream bigger and dedicate myself to public service. The greatest leaders are those who identify possibilities in others and inspire them to rise beyond their own expectations. Rajiv Gandhi did exactly that for me. Smt. Sonia Gandhi avaru taught me another important lesson in leadership. True leaders do not stand by you only during moments of success; they stand beside you during your most difficult times, offering strength, encouragement and unwavering support. Her faith in me during challenging phases of my journey is something I will always cherish. Shri Rahul Gandhi avaru has been a constant source of guidance and inspiration. His willingness to listen, his conviction in democratic values, and his vision for a more inclusive and compassionate India continue to motivate leaders like me. His support has been a strong pillar throughout my public life. Smt. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra avaru has always been approachable, warm and encouraging. She has treated every worker with respect and dignity, reminding us that politics is ultimately about connecting with people and understanding their aspirations. Her guidance and encouragement have always been deeply valued. For me, the Gandhi family represents different dimensions of leadership recognizing potential, standing by people in difficult times, listening with empathy, and inspiring others through conviction and service. As someone who began as a grassroots worker and has been entrusted today with the responsibility of leading Karnataka, I remain profoundly grateful for their trust and encouragement. Under their leadership and with the blessings of the people of Karnataka, I will continue to work with sincerity and commitment to build a progressive, inclusive and prosperous Karnataka that reflects the values we collectively stand for.

For me, the Gandhi family represents different dimensions of leadership recognizing potential, standing by people in difficult times, listening with empathy, and inspiring others through conviction and service. As someone who began as a grassroots worker and has been entrusted today with the responsibility of leading Karnataka, I remain profoundly grateful for their trust and encouragement. Under their leadership and with the blessings of the people of Karnataka, I will continue to work with sincerity and commitment to build a progressive, inclusive and prosperous Karnataka that reflects the values we collectively stand for.

[WATCH] We must raise an uncomfortable but necessary issue: the rise of unethical behaviour within sections of the media, and the corrosive impact it is having on South Africa’s democracy. The African National Congress is gravely concerned by the growing pattern of what can only be described as captured journalism; a disturbing phenomenon where certain journalists are no longer reporting the news, but are actively involved in shaping political agendas, settling scores, and waging battles on behalf of those they align with or represent. This is not journalism; it is political warfare waged under the banner of the Fourth Estate. We respect media freedom, we fought for it but that freedom must never be confused with impunity. The South African public has a right to expect truth, balance, and accountability from its media; not scripted propaganda manufactured in the corridors of political handlers. #ThePeoplesMovement

His greatest "crime" is rejecting nepotism and advocating for freedom and democracy for all… His greatest "crime" is believing in the freedom of speech and political expression. The government of Uganda is responsible for ensuring his health, safety, and immediate release. East Africa should not be stained with the pleasure of bathing and swimming in the blood, tears, and sweat of the oppressed citizens. Every person is born free and has the right to express themselves and be treated with dignity. The right to freedom, protection of dignity, privacy, and personal security is not a political favor or a privilege granted by leadership—it is a fundamental right. It is imperative to act responsibly… Kizza Besigye must be treated humanely, and the oppression against him must stop immediately.

When a national address feels like a political speech, it raises serious questions. In the last 24 hours, Narendra Modi’s national address has drawn significant attention and criticism. Many viewers felt that instead of focusing on key national issues like delimitation, the speech leaned more toward political messaging, with repeated references to the opposition and women’s reservation. A national address is not a party rally. It is a moment meant to speak to the entire country. That is why such platforms are expected to remain balanced, focused, and above political lines. This is the same platform that has previously been used during critical moments, such as the COVID period or major national security updates, where the messaging was clear and unified. The concern here is about perception and timing. When expectations are high, any mismatch in tone or content becomes noticeable and can lead to public dissatisfaction. Constructive criticism plays an important role in a democracy. Support does not mean silence. In fact, honest feedback helps leadership stay grounded and effective. The larger point is simple. National platforms should remain national in spirit, not political in tone. Jai Hind. Jai Bharat. 🇮🇳

Respected Members of Parliament, distinguished leaders, and fellow citizens of India, I stand before you with humility and a deep sense of responsibility as a candidate for the office of the Vice-President of our great republic. India’s democracy was built on the supreme sacrifices of our freedom fighters and nurtured for decades by their vision. Today, as that democratic space shrinks and citizens’ rights come under strain, it is our duty to defend the soul of our democratic republic. My candidature is not at all a personal aspiration but a collective effort to protect and strengthen our democratic fabric. Our first Vice-President reminded us, “Democracy is not merely a form of government; it is essentially an attitude of respect and reverence towards our fellow men.” It is these words that inspire my resolve to carry forward a noble tradition. I bring decades of experience in public service. I understand both the spirit and functioning of our democracy. This experience equips me to serve as an impartial and dignified custodian of parliamentary traditions. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru once said, “The strongest bond of unity is the common affection that we hold for our country.” This bond has guided me in every stage of my journey and continues to motivate me to serve as an impartial custodian of our democracy. The Vice-President, as Chairperson of the Rajya Sabha, must embody this balance, wisdom, and neutrality—principles I have always upheld by giving respect to every voice, across party lines. If elected, I will strive to make the Rajya Sabha a true forum of reasoned debate and constructive dialogue. Following the example set by our first Vice-President, Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan, I pledge to ensure that it remains a chamber of thoughtful deliberation in the national interest instead of avoidable discord. Democracy thrives on cooperation, not confrontation, and my strength lies in listening, mediating, and building consensus. In my vision, the Rajya Sabha must be a chamber where national interests are upheld above partisan concerns. As Babasaheb said, “Democracy is essentially a mode of associated living, of conjoint communicated experience.” And I take inspiration from this vision that democracy must be a shared, collective journey. I have witnessed first-hand the challenges India faces—economic reforms, social justice, climate change, and ensuring opportunities for our youth. The Vice-President’s office provides a platform to guide discussions on these issues with dignity and decorum, steering the Upper House toward policies that truly benefit citizens of this great nation, India, that is, Bharat. By ensuring fairness, I hope to elevate the quality of our lawmaking. Pandit ji, in his historic “Tryst with Destiny” speech, envisioned a nation where “freedom and opportunity” would reach every Indian. As Chair of the Rajya Sabha, I will work to align our debates with that dream. A key priority will be to keep parliamentary practices transparent, inclusive, and participatory so that disruptions don’t overshadow deliberations. Our first Vice-President warned that disorderly conduct erodes public faith. Taking his caution to heart, I will strive to restore an environment where disagreement is expressed with respect and dignity. It should always be reciprocal. I also see the Rajya Sabha as a body that represents the long-term interests of the nation, free from immediate political compulsions. It reflects the idea of federalism and is known as the Council of States. As its Chair, I will encourage detailed discussions on reforms in education, healthcare, digital governance, and environmental sustainability. Dr. Ambedkar often reminded us that political democracy must be matched by social and economic democracy. It is this holistic approach that I wish to strengthen in our parliamentary functioning. Another area where I intend to contribute is in strengthening parliamentary committees. Committees are the backbone of effective lawmaking, and their reports often shape the final outcome of legislation. I will ensure that these committees, referred to by Pandit ji as “the workshops of Parliament”, function with seriousness, independence, and a spirit of consensus-building. I will ensure that these committees do not become shops but function away from the glare of immediate political pressures. India’s parliamentary democracy has stood as a beacon to the world, but it demands continuous nurturing. I will strive to preserve its sanctity by upholding constitutional conventions and morality, ensuring neutrality in proceedings, and protecting the dignity of every member of the House, irrespective of their party affiliations. My role will be to guard the sanctity of the proceedings and not just interpret the rules of procedure. After all, democracy means dialogue, discussion and dissent. Babasaheb’s warning during the Constituent Assembly rings true: “Democracy in India is only a top-dressing on an Indian soil which is essentially undemocratic.” This especially resonates after our experience with the regime that has favoured a few at the cost of crores of citizens of India—Dalits, tribals, backward communities, women, minorities, and youth—who are increasingly being pushed to the margins. It is our duty to prove that democracy in India lives not just in emblematic institutions but in spirit. As Vice-President, I will dedicate myself to preserving the sanctity of our parliamentary system by ensuring absolute neutrality in proceedings and protecting the dignity of each and every member. Honourable Members, I seek your support not for myself, but for the values that define us as a sovereign democratic republic. In this election, there is no party whip, and the ballot is secret. It is not loyalty to any political party, but love for the country that must guide your choice. Each one of you carries the moral responsibility to preserve the conscience, the soul of our beloved nation. By entrusting me with this office, you will be choosing to defend parliamentary traditions, to restore dignity to debate, and to ensure that the Rajya Sabha stands as a true temple of democracy. This is not just a vote to elect your Vice-President—it is a vote for the spirit of India itself. Together, let us strengthen our republic and create a legacy that future generations will be proud to inherit. Now, it is for the people of India to decide. : Opposition parties' vice presidential candidate, former Supreme Court Judge, Shri B. Sudershan Reddy

#WATCH | Hyderabad: On the Opposition parties' joint letter to the CJI on the SIR process of the ECI and other election-related issues, BJP State President N Ramchander Rao says, “Congress is trying to drag the constitutional and statutory bodies like the Supreme Court and the Election Commission of India into political controversies. The representation to the CJI by some political parties is unwarranted and not in good taste in democracy…it is surprising that the political parties are seeking the intervention of the Supreme Court without any application and only as a representation and a political demand…the democratic society will not appreciate such an attempt…”

Mrs. Priyanka Gandhi, teaching students about the Emergency imposed by your grandmother Indira Gandhi is not ideology, it's a constitutional duty. Every student has the right to know how democracy was strangled & fundamental rights were suspended during one of the darkest chapters of independent India. And Congress should be the last party to lecture anyone on ideology in education. For decades, it reshaped textbooks to glorify the Mughals while downplaying India's civilisational heritage.

#WATCH | Delhi | Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson Sonia Gandhi says, "...While we welcome ongoing analysis of his (former PM Jawaharlal Nehru) contributions, what is not acceptable is the systematic attempt being made to denigrate, distort, demean and defame him. The sole objective of this is not only to diminish him as a personality, his universally recognised role in India's independence struggle and his early decades as a leader of an independent nation challenged by unprecedented problems, but it is also to demolish his multifaceted legacy in a self-serving attempt to rewrite history. Analysis is one thing, but deliberate mischief with what he said, what he wrote and what he did is another thing and totally unacceptable. Who are the forces that have launched this project?...They belong to the ideology that had no role in our freedom movement, the making of our Constitution. In fact, they even burnt it and were totally against it." (05.12)
