This country is not an event management company. The people of India are humans who too have dreams & hopes. Don’t reduce our lives to gimmicks of 9 mins, @PMOIndia. We wanted to know what aid states will get & what relief the poor will receive

Instead we got some new drama[1/n]
This tube-light idea was truly unique. As lakhs of hungry, poor & homeless migrants across India WALK to their homes, I've to ask: where is the light @PMOIndia?

I know you only want #positivevibes & don’t want us to raise some issues but WHERE is the light? [2/n]
Your lawyers in SC say that 1/3rd of these migrants maybe carrying the infection while your Health Ministry says there is no proof of community transmission in India

Where is the light, @PMOIndia? [3/n]

An unplanned lockdown has meant more & more suffering to the poorest. You have left them to the charity of rich & the limited economic abilities of states. When CMs ask you for financial relief, you ask them to switch off their lights?

[4/n]
What about darkness enveloping banking sector @PMOIndia? Our growing NPA problem isn't going away Your pre-corona looming economic crisis will now become an impending financial disaster. What will happen to our savings? What'll happen to the banks? [5/n] livemint.com/news/india/bew…
SHED SOME LIGHT on what your lakhs, crores of “relief” will mean for 90% of India’s workers who work in the unorganised sector will go without ANY TARGETED RELIEF. thehindubusinessline.com/opinion/pm-gar… [6/6]

THREAD: UIDAI did not follow due procedure & abused its powers. The result was (understandable) panic among people

First, @UIDAI has no power to verify citizenship. It has few powers to look into some cases of Aadhaar being granted incorrectly (rules 27 & 28)
The Deputy Director in this case made it about verifying citizenship - which they aren’t empowered to do

The identical notices don’t even provide any specific findings of the preliminary inquiry that has to be made

Notices don’t even say what these “false pretences” were
Which police officer provided you with this information? @UIDAI Can @TelanganaDGP confirm if they shared a list of 127 names with UIDAI? Can they tell us on what grounds? Since UIDAI has now shifted the responsibility to @TeanganaPolice it is their responsibility to clear the air

THREAD: On the day #Gandhiji was killed, we must remember his life’s lessons but not forget the ideology that took him away from the Independent India that he’d fought for

Remember,many disagreed with Gandhi throughout his life. Only Hindutva’s foot soldiers killed him for it
We mustn’t forget that the conspiracy to kill Gandhi was made because of the terrorists’ hatred for Muslims & in their view Gandhi was a little too pro-Muslim

The message to Indian Muslims was: your allies, even if they’re Gandhiji, will have to risk their lives to support you
Gandhi had, after all, fasted for safety of Muslims & their places of worship in Delhi. His fast had resulted in Sikhs & Hindus taking a pledge for Muslims’ safety

Mentored by “Veer” Savarkar, terrorists wanted to blame Muslims for it.

NPR is first step of the National Register of Indian Citizens, which is the other name of nation-wide NRC.

It’s important to understand the link between NPR & NRC [1/n]
NPR is a collation of all ‘usual residents’ living in India. Under the Citizenship Rules, 2003, a National Register of Indian Citizens is to be produced after filtering citizens from non-citizens

How is this filtering done? [2/n]
First a local officer “verifies” the list & issues notice to “doubtful citizens” from list of local residents. These “doubtfuls” must now prove their citizenship.

Following this, a draft list is published.

If you think your inclusion in the draft list is enough, it’s not [3/n]

COVID19

#India It’s only a thousand cases & just over 30 deaths. This is probably because of testing not being adequate, similar to what happened in the early stage of the epidemic in US, as well, where it suddenly catches fire in some population, and then it really takes off.
#India
And we’ve got a lot of compounding problems
-health-system capacity is weak
-hospital beds remarkably low
-population w/TB & respiratory issues, pneumonia, high rates of smoking & air pollution.
1/3 of India's adults are hypertensive
1/10 are diabetic
But, certainly, the conditions for a rapid spread of the disease are all there in the urban areas. And, without question, it’s likely that it will just rip through the population

How do we understand the editorial ideology of a magazine like #TheEconomist ? A thread that raises some questions to the magazine. I recently read articles from the below 6 editions with some observations. You can read & decide if same questions hit your mind. @TVMohandasPai
@TheEconomist takes note of major economic reforms but choses to overshadow those by “Hindu nationalist goals” like Kashmir lockdown. Hindu-Nationalist ? I don’t see Chinese nationalist or English nationalist being used. So how does patriotism in India becomes Hindu nationalism?
#TheEconomist says #Modi achieved “unusual unity amongst Hindus” & his victory has “settled the debate in favor of Hindutva”. In a 80% Hindu country, what’s wrong with “unity amongst Hindus” ? You want to see us divided as before?

Long thread on Budget FY-2020: How difficult is finance minister’s job in #India. If you’re amongst those who think the budget doesn’t do much for people, you need to understand this in detail. Why do we struggle to solve national problems? #Budget2020 #NirmalaSitharaman
Let me simplify things for the readers as to how the budget looks like & what the numbers mean. Below is the graphic that I have created for the revenue & expense heads for govt of India.Left side is govt INCOME & right side is how it SPENDS for the year. Size Rs 27.8 lac crores
Income of govt:
1) Taxes & non-tax revenue is 61% & 10% respectively. Additionally, another 4% comes by selling govt shares in PSUs. All this adds to 75%.
2) Borrowings forms the balance 25% of Income. This is our govt borrowing money to spend which of-course carries interest.

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.
