\"\"<\/picture><\/div>\n

Not every movement wants to become a political party. After grabbing national attention during the NEET-UG paper leak protests, the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has decided to stay outside electoral politics, choosing instead to build itself as a citizens’ pressure group.<\/p>\n

Founder Abhijeet Dipke says India needs a stronger public movement than another political outfit. As CJP plans its next phase, it is also pushing for the withdrawal of cases against student protesters and preparing to expand its nationwide network. READ MORE<\/p>\n

The row over how global tech platforms moderate content has now reached the highest level. After facing sharp questions from the Indian government, Meta has apologised over the removal of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Facebook post and admitted lapses in tackling CSAM, deepfake content and content moderation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/picture><\/div>\n

The apology followed a government summons, with senior Meta executives meeting Union IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw and IT Secretary S. Krishnan. The episode has renewed scrutiny of how social media platforms balance content moderation with accountability, and whether stricter oversight could follow. READ MORE<\/p>\n

Terrorist claims India killed 30+ Lashkar men in Pakistan<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/picture><\/div>\n

A rare public admission from a Lashkar-e-Taiba operative has revived questions about a series of mysterious killings inside Pakistan. In a viral video, Rizwan Hanif claims that more than 30 LeT members have been killed since 2020, thrusting the so-called ‘unknown gunman’ model back into the spotlight.<\/p>\n

The claim is significant because militant groups seldom acknowledge such losses publicly. Security experts say the message could reflect growing anxiety within the organisation, though it has also fuelled fresh debate over who is behind the killings and why the issue has resurfaced now.

SC says listen to youth, show restraint to prevent protest violence<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/picture><\/div>\n

Listening, not force, may be the best way to prevent protests from turning violent. Hearing petitions linked to the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) demonstrations, the Supreme Court said the police should exercise restraint and described listening to young protesters as the “most powerful tool” for defusing tense situations.<\/p>\n

The court’s remarks came while examining petitions over the July 20 ‘Parliament March’. The observations are likely to shape the wider debate on how authorities respond to student-led protests and public demonstrations. READ MORE<\/p>\n
