This man's hypocrisy is UNTAMABLE.

In his 2012 book Pax Indica, @ShashiTharoor said there are some 20 million illegal Bangladeshis in India. He wrote about them disparagingly, as though they were termites that had "disappeared into the Indian woodwork". Now he remembers Tagore. Image
In 2005, it was Tharoor's govt, the UPA, that proposed urgency in the drafting and the updating of the NRC in Assam.

The UPA Home Minister said he feared Assam could one day have a Bangladeshi chief minister. PM Manmohan Singh chaired the meeting. timesnownews.com/india/article/…
Also in 2005, Mamata Banerjee, outraging today, threw papers at the speaker, demanding a discussion on the scourge of illegal Bangladeshi migration.

She even resigned but her resignation was poorly drafted and misdirected and therefore wasn't accepted. indiatoday.in/india/story/wh…
For the agenda-driven journalists:

The #NRC is a Supreme Court-mandated and strictly monitored exercise.

As many as 300 tribunals have been set up and the 1.9 million whose names are missing can approach these in the next 4 months, after which they can appeal to the High Court.
For all its bluster & tough-talk on illegal immigration, the @narendramodi govt found only 1822 illegal Bangladeshi nationals to deport in the last four years, LESS than what the UPA managed in a single year.

Numbers do not lie. And these are GOI numbers. pib.gov.in/newsite/PrintR… Image
Separating fact from fiction in the NRC debate. #NRCScamExpose
I applaud the #CitizenshipAmendmentBill2019. Here is why.

My views on @TimesNow with @RShivshankar on INDIA UPFRONT.
While I approve of, and applaud, both, the CAB and the NRC - and believe them to be disconnected exercises, here I explain on @TimesNow, a scenario where they are used in combination. Do watch.
#CAB_FactsVsDistortion. Exposing the shameless hypocrisy of the Communists and the equally shameless lies of the Congress, on @TimesNow with @RShivshankar. Do watch.
We will either have a divided India or a destroyed India, said Jinnah on Direct Action Day.

We must NEVER allow Jinnah's ghost to return. My view on @TimesNow, with @RShivshankar. #IndiaAgainstViolence
Enough is enough. India, open your eyes and see through this vile game being played by the gangrenous, feeding on crumbs, fake-news peddling, agenda-driven anti-CAA lobby.

My view, on @TimesNow, with @RShivshankar. #ProtestYaPolitics
On the CAA and the NRC. Do read. Thanks. Image
BRILLIANT and DEFINITIVE piece on the CAA and NRC by @KartikeyaTanna.

Very glad also that the wonderful suggestions of @mumbaikerr and @UnabashedCritic - see my tweet above - have been incorporated by Kartikeya.

A must-read. The last stop on this matter. opindia.com/2019/12/caa-nr… Image
Understand the Congress psyche. They can go to ANY length. For them the CAA has become the proverbial Big Tree, and they want to make it fall; they want the earth to shake again.

My view on @TimesNow, with @navikakumar. #StopIncitingMuslims
The Congress is a master at deception, while the BJP is a disaster at perception.

Separating fact from fiction on the NPR, the CAA, and the NRC issue. My view on @TimesNow, with @RShivshankar. #NPRIsHere
Not only is Arundhati Roy smoking good weed, she is also consuming the meat of an animal grazing on even better weed.

My views on Arundhati's call to anarchy, on @TimesNow with @RShivshankar.

#LutyensSabotageNPRPlot
The Congress thrust the religious on to the roads and now they are openly asserting their identity through supremacist chants, and abusing the nervous Congress.

A stone once picked bears no name.

My views on @TimesNow with @RShivshankar #HinduRashtraRow
The journalists & activists who incited the poor and the impressionable Muslims to brave biting cold on the roads, are busy frolicking now in Paris & New York. Ye hai inke rishte ki asliyat!

My views on @TimesNow with @RShivshankar. #CAAAntiModiConspiracy
The anti-CAA protests are politically and religiously motivated and bereft of any logic or rationale. The people of India have seen through this charade.

My views on @TimesNow, with @navikakumar.
#ShaheenBaghCracks
Hinduphobic chants; kids being incited; census women being attacked; livelihoods of pro-CAA people being threatened - it is almost as though Direct Action Day 2.0 has been unleashed.

But they will NEVER succeed.

My views on @TimesNow. #TukdeTukdeAgain
Shaheen Bagh is a horror film that continues to be played even though it has flopped badly.

My views on @TimesNow with @navikakumar. #ShaheenAntiIndiaRant
Didn't know donning a burkha, for going undercover or simply wanting to feel safe in a mainly burkha-clad gathering, was a crime. Esp as one has witnessed in Shaheen Bagh mobs chasing female reporters from channels the protestors hate.

Stay safe, @gunjakapoor. We are with you.
Shaheen Bagh. What started as a small illegal sit-in has turned into a small island nation, with its own economy, its own defence, and its own ethno-ideological immigration policy.

My views on @TimesNow with @RShivshankar. #ShaheenGunmanTruth
NO cause is bigger than the life of a child who doesn’t even know what the cause is.

"Peace will come when they begin to love their children more than they hate us."

My views on @TimesNow, on the terrible, preventable tragedy at Shaheen Bagh. #SCVsShaheenBagh
Disappointed with the hon'ble Supreme court order for mediation, for something that the court itself considers illegal. The right to protest is NOT the right to prevent.

My views on @TimesNow, with @navikakumar. #ShaheenEndGame
The Shaheen bagh mediation process has turned into a complete farce, especially after the involvement of Teesta Setalvad - the Magna Carta of lies and fraud.

My view on @TimesNow
with @navikakumar. #TeestaTutorsShaheen
Shaheen bagh is throwing up anarchists galore.

Imagine Arundhati Roy trapped in a man's body, where the man is Rahul Gandhi. That's Harsh Mander for you.

My views on @TimesNow with @RShivshankar.
#ShaheenSadakShocker
This Tharoor and Sibal combo should be marketed in a bottle as shampoo and conditioner. Head & Shoulders above the rest in hypocrisy.

Exposing their lies on the CAA and the NPR, on @TimesNow with @navikakumar. #CongCAAConfession
The protesters of Shaheen Bagh are least bothered about kudrati corona. They are not bound by any man-made law. And their handlers, the useful idiots, don't get this.

My views on @TimesNow with @navikakumar. #ShaheenBlocksCoronaWar
To battle an epidemic you need sanity more than sanitiser. It is insane that Shaheen Bagh is being allowed and thousands of lives are being put at risk.

My views on @TimesNow with @navikakumar. #IndiaFightsShaheenMocks
On the arrests of Shaheen bagh and Jamia activists under the UAPA, and the shameless hypocrisy of the Congress and the Left outraging against this charge.

My views on @TimesNow with @navikakumar. #DelhiRiotPlottersTracked
Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

To allow Shaheen bagh to be resurrected on the same illegal protest site would be a grave dereliction of duty by the State.

My views on @TimesNow with @RShivshankar. #ShaheenBaghGetsReady
Hate pays, but only for the shepherds; the lambs proceed to the slaughter house.

My views on @TimesNow with @RShivshankar, on the Shaheen Bagh protests leading to the Delhi riots, for which the court has admitted the charges.
Delay in CAA implementation is unacceptable. Hope the Centre is not thinking of dropping the CAA altogether just because bigots and Islamists pushed it into a corner.

CAA, as I explain here, is our MORAL OBLIGATION. My views on @TimesNow, on #CAADelay.
In wanting to resurrect and stir massive Shaheen Bagh-like protests in UP, Owaisi has picked the wrong man. One can almost imagine Yogi Adityanath calling him up and whispering: Tu aayega na, darega toh nahin?

My views on Owasi’s CAA dare, on @TimesNow.

Hindus in Hindu Rashtra: Victims of State-sanctioned Apartheid.

My talk expounding on eight reasons why Hindus have been reduced to not just second-class citizens but, rather, eighth-class citizens in their own country.

Reason 1: State control of Hindu temples
Hindus in Hindu Rashtra: Victims of State-sanctioned Apartheid. Eight reasons why Hindus have been reduced to not just second-class citizens but, rather, eighth-class citizens in their own country.

Reason 2: The injustice towards Kashmiri Hindus
Eight reasons why Hindus have been reduced to not just second-class citizens but, rather, eighth-class citizens in their own country.

How can a 1500-year-old Tamil Nadu temple be adjudged by Waqf to be on Islamic land when Islam is only 1300 years old?

Reason 3: The Waqf Act

The only way stubble burning can be banned is if we call it Parali Dahan, a Hindu festival wherein according to the Atharva veda, lord Vishnu burnt demon king Paralisura when he enslaved Maruts and storm king Rudra. Only then will it be banned.

My views:
For those blaming Diwali for the state of Delhi air, here's some perspective: An area of 17,900 sqkm, or 12 times the size of Delhi, is on fire, right now, right next to Delhi. 35 million tonnes of stubble is being burnt.

This is the current situation in Punjab. Absolute MURDER. Image
We are outraging only because Delhi is affected by farm fires. 98 million tonnes of stubble is burnt every year in India, ALL YEAR round.

Punjab recorded a crazy 1842 farm fires yesterday. Forget politicians, there ought to be a class action suit against Supreme court judges. Image

“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

Exact opposite happened. Govt provided choice on APMC, gave option on contract farming, amended ECA promised by INC, even decriminalised farm fires; while the other side pillaged, raped, murdered, blocked highways.

Do you hire cartoonists or propagandists, @timesofindia? WDTT Image
UNREAL blend of Hindu hatred and Scientific ignorance: 1. Suggesting that evolution is incomplete if you don't convert into Abrahamic religions; 2. Claiming that religions that contradict evolution complete evolution.

Do you hire cartoonists or propagandists, @News9Tweets? WDTT Image
@timesofindia 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. Image
