Udhayanidhi Stalin’s double entendre purportedly directed at CM Vijay’s friend, Trisha, was in bad taste. It’s unbecoming of an LoP. His arrest was, however, heavy-handed overkill. Vijay must develop a thick skin and learn to use power with maturity. Tamil Nadu can’t return to the Jayalalithaa-Karunanidhi era of bitter animosities.
Using AI to discredit and put a 15-year-old on trial for abusing PM Modi is a new low for India
A 15-year-old was put on trial online for abusing PM Modi. Her face was dissected with AI analysis; a sister was invented to discredit her. She and her mother were compelled to flee home amid rape and acid attack threats. This is toxic vigilantism and a new low for India.
Self-styled ‘pro sanatan’ vigilantes hunt down women protesters. ThePrint’s story exposes their criminality
Chilling how self-styled ‘pro sanatan’ vigilantes have unleashed an organised machinery to dox Jantar Mantar’s women protesters, track their movements, turn up at their doors and coerce public apologies. This is criminal and amounts to stalking, intimidation and harassment. ThePrint’s story has exposed this coordinated campaign that demands criminal action.
ThePrint’s blatantly partisan and ridiculously one-sided reportage of the student protests and it’s aftermath has disgusted even it’s most hard-core well wishers.
It did not bother to speak a word on the utter filth and vitriol directed at Modi, his ministers and their family members. Rather, such acts were hailed as freedom of expression. Shekhar Gupta even shamelessly accepted and welcomed such abuses as ‘normal nowadays in our society’.
Maybe Shekhar Gupta and team will have the wisdom to course correct. If not, ThePrint will end up being a cheap copy of TheQuint or TheWire.
Have zero respect for a man who does not respect women.
