    Looking forward to Germany, that continues to buy 53% of its coal, 32% of its gas, and 34% of its oil from Russia, lecturing India, that buys 1.9% of its coal, 0.2 % of its gas, and 0.9% of its oil from Russia, on morality and ethics.

    Thank you, CM and Tamil Nadu govt for stepping up and sending life saving drugs, 750 kg milk powder, other essentials, and 40,000 tonnes of rice to Sri Lanka over & above the Centre’s aid package. A friend needed our help and you have obliged. Hope other States follow.

    Management of the Gyanvapi mosque built atop the demolished Kashi Vishwanath now says it won’t allow videography despite a court directive. Legit. After all, Darul Uloom Deoband, the most influential body for Indian Muslims has on record stated that “Shariat is above ALL laws”.

    No Congress leader was ever sent to Kala Pani. They never faced the inhuman torture that Savarkar did. Those who ridicule & mock him should be reminded of the Nabha jail incident where Jawaharlal Nehru’s father pleaded with the Viceroy for his son to be released. -

    Relentless hounding. Rajasthan police have registered multiple FIRs against and charged him under the draconian 295A (offending religious sensibilities) and, worse, under 124A (Sedition). Hope he is safe. I stand with Aman.

    Turns out the Gorakhnath attacker Mohd Murtaza had been wire-transferring equivalent of a million odd rupees to ISIS subsidiaries based in Europe. His father is a legal eagle, his uncle is a neurosurgeon, his grandfather is a judge and he is from the IIT. You can't do anything.

    Slogans of Khalistan Zindabad being raised by a sword-wielding mob in broad daylight in Patiala. Nothing to worry. Punjab police will swing into action once it completes the vital job of finalising the SIT report on objectionable tweets against Kejriwal.

    A heavily pregnant woman is rushed to JNM Hospital in Kalyani, Bengal, for a cesarean. “I don’t know Bengali,” she tells the doctor. “If you don’t know Bengali, then go to Bihar for treatment,” the doctor tells her. Are we really one India? Did Sardar Patel really unite us?

    Crazy. Trying to project Elon Musk stifling free speech like the tinpot dictator Idi Amin when he is the exact opposite and trying to rid twitter of Idi Amins, this is not propaganda anymore, this is psychopathy. No one has ruined Laxman's legacy like the newspaper he drew for.
