Why is @IndianExpress totally silent on its own detailed report of Jan 23, 1988 on #INSViraat "performing various duties in connection with the holiday" while Naval personnel "looked after the needs" of the group that included 8 foreigners?

Or does it believe this was fake news?
The rest of the detailed report by @IndianExpress on the Gandhi family's Lakshadweep holiday, in the year the Bofors scandal broke. (h/t @akkadbakkad1)
P.s. I was emailed the image in the first tweet by an IE journalist disappointed with her newspaper's silence. Journalism of (hidden) courage. WDTT

“Old and SENILE men like Periyar deserve a place more in a lunatic asylum than in public life. It is HIGH time Periyar and his followers were BANISHED from this land.” - Jawaharlal Nehru

Dare you to say Pt Nehru was an idiot to have said this for Periyar. Don’t run away. WDTT
Shifting goalposts and slinking away from answering straight can work on twitter but I’m afraid the ED and CBI won’t fall for such tricks. Was about to suggest you get some interrogation training but then I remembered you’ve been home-schooled at this.

Have a nice Sunday 😊WDTT
Ha ha, If only you were able to shift your wealth as smoothly as you do goalposts, you’d be safe. Now pay attention, double O six. Fascism was when you went crying to your dad in 2012 and got a man arrested for his harmless tweet. It is you who pines for that past. Bye now. WDTT

This is unacceptable and OUTRAGEOUS. ⁦@Twitter⁩ has indefinitely blocked journalist ⁦@AartiTikoo⁩ for this tweet, where she is looking out for her brother ⁦@TikooSahil_⁩ whose life is being threatened by terrorists. Twitter are you mad? Unblock Aarti. RIGHT NOW. Image
Bravo, @AartiTikoo. BRAVO. Never bow down to these terror apologists at @Twitter.

Dear @Rajeev_GoI. Please take note of this ridiculous and bizarre situation. A sister is being punished for protecting her brother. Never seen anything like it. Image
Laton ke bhoot baton se nahin mante. Aarti takes @Twitter to court for acting against her when all she was trying to do was protect her brother @TikooSahil_ from terrorists.

More power to you, @AartiTikoo. Sahil must be so proud to have a sis like you. And shame on you, @paraga. Image

All those still blaming Diwali for Delhi's air quality, let me give you some perspective.

This past fortnight an area of 17,900 sqmi or 12 times the size of Delhi, has been CONTINUOUSLY on fire RIGHT NEXT to Delhi. 35 MILLION TONS of stubble has been burnt. Clear hai?

My views:
You know what is REALLY scary? That we are outraging only because Delhi is being affected by stubble burning.

98 million tonnes of stubble is burnt every year ALL OVER India, ALL YEAR round. UP 22%, Punjab 21%, Haryana 9%, AP 5%, WB 5%, TN 3%, Guj 4%.

WHEN WILL MILORDS WAKE UP?
Every year India burns 98 MT of stubble, releasing 149 MT CO₂ [T1: *sqkm; 25,900; 17 times]

CO₂ emission from ALL Indian transport: 270 MT
CO₂ emission from ALL Indian stubble-burning: 149 MT

The latter is TOTALLY avoidable. But vote-bank > your life. Situation right now 👇

Hope PM @narendramodi's laudable Panchamrit - of 500 GW by 2030 - majorly includes Nuclear. A single nuclear plant powers 700,000 homes while emitting less CO₂ than a hybrid car.

Climate Change is REAL. But activism MUST be rescued from the talons of the IDIOTIC Left. #COP26
(Nuclear plants) & Nuclear power as share of total power consumed:

France (58): 71.7%
Sweden (8): 40.3%
Switzerland (5): 37.7%
USA (99): 19.3%
Russia (37): 17.9%
UK (15): 17.7%
China (46): 4.2%

India (22): 3.0%.

3.0% is pitiful. We MUST make it 30% by 2030, @narendramodi.
Power generation is the SINGLE LARGEST contributor (~30%) to global emissions.

Nuclear power as share of total power consumed:
France: 71.7%
India: 3.0%

Carbon footprint as share of total world footprint:
France: 1% (292 MMT)
India: 7% (2076 MMT)

It's a NO CONTEST. #COP26

Reinforcing?! Gosh. Are you saying you have read the holy book and are a bigot? Are you condemning the words of Allah? That's blasphemy.

Delete your tweet or there'd be a fatwa against you and I don't want the 'sar tun se juda' brigade to hound you. WDTT
That's why I asked @_sayema to delete her tweet. What she said is blasphemous.

In case she doesn't know: Those who abuse Allah & His Messenger, Allah has cursed them in this world & the Hereafter & prepared for them a humiliating punishment. 33:57 WDTT

With respect sir, such language is unacceptable. Is this a threat? Later on in the thread you warn @BharadwajSpeaks again by writing: "Do nothing to disturb peace and tranquility in the country."

He has stated historical facts, with references. Do historical facts scare you?
The tragedy of our nation. This man should have been inducted in the Education Ministry years ago. Instead he is hounded and threatened by those, Right or Left, who fear the past.

The fools don't understand: Nations that fear their past fear their future.
WTF. @BharadwajSpeaks was neither spreading hatred against the Mizos, nor was he creating disaffection. The thread is FACTUAL and carries historical citations.

It was a mistake to be polite to this man. He is drunk on allusions of power and past glory.
