The FM is live and this press conference might be exciting. Notes in the thread.

FM says that medical warriors get a 50 lakh insurance coverage for the next three months. Good.
1.7 lakh crore being deployed under the Prime Minister Gareen Kalyan scheme to be used for food security and direct bank transfers.

Good but need to know more details such as quantum and frequency of DBT.
80 crore poor (2/3rd of our population) will get 10 kgs rice or wheat per person for free for the next three months and 1 kg of any pulse like moong, urad per household. These can be taken in two instalments each month.

After watching events in #India for many months now, it is obvious that Hindus are in a peculiar situation and will need central govt's help. Islamists and secularists are anti-Hindu and are adept at their games. Islamists attack, kill, & rape #Hindus yet manage to portray /1
....themselves as victims. Secularists have been attacking Hindu culture in courts and society yet portray Hindus as fascists and terrorists.
The thing that makes it hard for Hindus is that the media aids and abets the anti-Hindu attacks of all parties involved /2
.... incl Islamists, leftists, and secularists. The media NEVER shows attacks against Hindus which means that the public does not come to know about those attacks. They do however loudly broadcast any little harm that happens to Muslims and even broadcast outright lies, /3

Former J&K CM Mehbooba Mufti's daughter Iltija Mufti on Friday asked whether J&K was an integral part of #India or a colony.

J&K is not a colony. It is an integral part of #India. It is #Kashmir based parties who treated India as their colony by playing the separatist card.
Iltija Mufti also said that that #Article370 had nothing to do with development.

Only a person who lives outside the state can afford to be so ignorant. Iltija Mufti lives in Chennai and enjoys all the facilities which are not available here in #Kashmir.
#Article370 and 35A were responsible for J&K's backwardness while only benefiting a select few like the separatists, politicians of mainstream political parties of #Kashmir and their families.
