Example sentence(s):

  • यकीनन उन्होंने अपनी सरकार के तथाकथित “वृद्धि” और “सशक्तिकरण” के रिकार्ड का ढोल पीटने से परहेज नहीं किया, जबकि देश विस्फोटक आर्थिक संकट के बोझ तले लड़खड़ा रहा है, और बढ़ती दमनकारी व दखलंदाज राजसत्ता लोकतंत्र को रोज-ब-रोज छलपूर्वक लूट रही है. - Shramik Solidarity  
  • विंसेंट और कैट अपने जीवन में दोबारा सामान्यपन लाने के लिये झगड़ा करते हैं, यहाँ तक कि राक्षसी मनुष्य को उपहार देने की धमकी भी दी जाती है। इसी दौरान, टेस विंसेंट को एक दखलंदाज पत्रकार से बचाने के लिये बहुत बड़ा जोखिम उठाती है। - primevideo.com
