My point is simply this: if people label themselves as cockroaches, and we say the gutter is their home, why should they be offended? I certainly don’t consider myself a cockroach. If someone were to say I live in a gutter, I would deny it. But if someone claims to be a cockroach, then naturally, they would live in a gutter. Where else? But to claim …

‘Nobody takes her seriously’: War of words escalates between Kangana and CJP after BJP MP’s ‘Generation Gutter’ remark

Responding to actor-turned-BJP MP Kangana Ranaut’s remarks describing Gen Z as “Generation Gutter”, the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) on Tuesday said that even her own party, the BJP, does not take her seriously.

(ANI Photo) CJP spokesperson Saurav Das said, “Even members of her own party don’t pay much heed to Kangana Ranaut or take her seriously, so why should we?

India’s next pace generation gets its audition in Zimbabwe | Cricket News

5 min readJul 22, 2026 08:31 PM IST When India announced their squad for the three-match T20I series against Zimbabwe, the biggest talking point wasn’t who had been rested. Arshdeep Singh was given a breather with the upcoming series starting a few days after a long Ireland and England tour, while Jasprit Bumrah’s workload is increasingly being managed, with the selectors likely to use him selectively in T20Is while prioritising ODIs. Instead, the spotlight fell on a pace attack that offered a glimpse into India’s future. Mayank Yadav made a comeback to the national setup after a gap of almost two years, while Ashok Sharma and Yash Thakur earned their maiden call-ups. Collectively, the trio represented the next layer of India’s fast-bowling reserves, one that the selectors and team management will hope can eventually ease the burden on Bumrah and Arshdeep. That makes the Zimbabwe series more than a routine tour: India’s first real chance to assess whether the next generation of pacers are ready to bridge the gap from domestic cricket and the IPL …
