Conflating constitutional rights w/ "freebies" is dangerous. 📉 Denying means of existence & granting it only for votes risks converting rights into incentives. Ppl's right to work shouldn't be contingent on political gains. #Citizenship #ConstitutionalRights

In Purulia, thousands of applications submitted, esp. by women awaiting MGNREGA work for upcoming Durga Puja. 😔 SC's intervention & HC's reiteration offer new hope, but questions linger on Centre's reluctance & state's counter-schemes. #EconomicJustice #SocialWelfare

Centre's petition challenging the HC order was dismissed, highlighting the need for rural poor to not suffer due to ongoing corruption inquiries. 🚫 Work was supposed to resume Aug 1, but Centre filed SLP July 31. HC reiterated order Nov 7. 🏛️ #RuralDevelopment #WorkersRights

Key sticking point: healthcare subsidies for lower-income Americans via ACA! 🏥 Democrats demanded extension, but GOP offered no guarantee, only a Dec vote. This angered Dem caucus. 😠 #ACA #Healthcare #Democrats

While total typhoon numbers aren't rising, the frequency of INTENSE storms & rapid intensification HAS increased. 📈 This is linked to warmer oceans & greater atmospheric instability. Expect more powerful storms. 💨 #ClimateScience

Warmer sea surface temps 🌊 in the Pacific & South China Sea pack more "fuel" into cyclones, increasing intensity & precipitation 🌧️. Human-caused global warming is the primary driver. 🌍 #GlobalWarming #ExtremeWeather

India lags in women's political representation (~13.6% in Lok Sabha). 📉 While reservations are coming, true representation requires safe & enabling environments within parties. Without recourse, women face harassment, silence, or withdrawal.

Apprehensions of misuse are unfounded; POSH Act has safeguards. 🛡️ Excluding parties based on fear of misuse undermines the law's intent & ignores existing protections. Other institutions like courts & corporations operate under POSH.

Political parties claim voluntary, unremunerated work exempts them from POSH Act regs. 🚫 But the Act defines "employee" to include volunteers & "workplace" to include work-related locations. Thousands of women in crucial party roles deserve protection, regardless of payslips.
