Please do not believe, or retweet on reflex, tweets of Chinese journalists working in Indian media organisations.

This is NOT the India of '62. And China and their stooges in india better know this.

My views on @TimesNow with @navikakumar. #ChinaMustPay

The Chinese have crossed a line, both literally and figuratively. The martyrdom of twenty of our bravest soldiers CANNOT go in vain.

Beyond military response, India must reflect on these numbers:

Indian exports to China: $ 18 billion.
Chinese exports to India: $ 73 billion.

Ambushed with clubs wrapped in barbed wire, pelted with stones, attacked with iron rods, withstanding hand-to-hand combat, they held their ground, until they fell into the darkness, swallowed by the freezing Galwan river.

How can one sleep knowing they will never wake up?

Today, a grateful nation salutes the man not the rank.

Martyr Kundan Kumar's father: "My son sacrificed his life for the nation. I have two grandsons; I will send them, too."

Those who love India never need to be forced to love her. And those who don't, no amount of force will make them love her.

China does not recognise Kashmir as part of India. China has usurped 38,000 sqkm of Kashmir. China supports Pakistan on Kashmir.

Despite this, India refuses to have diplomatic relations with Taiwan. India does not even recognise Taiwan as a country.

Time to #JunkOneChinaPolicy

We all carry a burden today; the realisation that twenty men died protecting us. They did not know us. And yet they gave up their lives for us. It is too heavy a burden.

My views on @TimesNow.

What I really want to know is, who has Rahul Gandhi signed an agreement with, that he comes unarmed with facts on a daily basis?

My views on @TimesNow with @navikakumar, on Rahul Gandhi's ignorance of the 1996 Indo-China agreement. #CongBetraysBraves

To understand the behaviour of the Congress, including wishing tukde-tukde of Ladakh, one must recount its historical subservience to China, beginning with the expose by Dr Ambedkar in 1951.

My views on @TimesNow with @RShivshankar. #IndiaFirstNotForCong

Journalists turning into Inspector Clouseaues without realising the Galwan stand-off isn't an issue of corruption or of politics but of national security.

Every single word uttered by Modi would have been vetted by the Army, mindful of the ground situation & future implications.

Those who shine seldom wait
Whisked away by power great
But said He in unsure voice
How I wish I had the choice
How I wish that you were late.

One of the SIX HUNDRED Chinese incursions between 2010 and 2013 during the UPA, was a lightning raid on June 17, 2013 at Chumar, an incursion the UPA did not disclose for THREE WEEKS for fear of public anger forcing cancellation of the Defence Minister’s visit to China. SHAME.

Perhaps the PM and EAM should have made their statements in Italian and not in Hindi or English so that those with Bangur cement inbetween their ears would have comprehended them correctly.

My views on @TimesNow with @navikakumar. #IndiaDrawsTheLine

Because of our brave soldiers not an inch of our territory is in the hands of the Chinese. Their supreme sacrifice can NEVER be forgotten.

My views on @TimesNow with @RShivshankar. #IndiaPushesBackChina

It is pointless, harmful, and demoralising for our Armed Forces, for journalists to behave like Inspector Clouseau and splash in the ocean of "source"-based counter narratives.

My views on @TimesNow with @navikakumar. #CongChinaGate

The Congress must disclose its MoU and agreement with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and so should the BJP that met the CCP at least four times in the last decade.

My views on @TimesNow with @RShivshankar. #CongSurrenderAdmission

The Chinese have have just annexed huge tracts of Nepal at 11 locations, destroyed boundary demarcations, taken over Nepalese villages.

But those who were using Nepal as a stick to beat India are totally silent. Why?

सांप को दूध पिलाना बंद करो।

My view on @TimesNow.

The ban on Chinese apps is not because of privacy or cyber security fears but as a negotiating tactic in the border standoff.

Finally, India has begun to overtly use trade sanctions as a legitimate weapon of war.

My views on @TimesNow with @navikakumar.

The clock is ticking and tocking for China. This, essentially a step taken as a negotiating tactic viz the border standoff, should be just the beginning in our eventual economic disengagement with China.

My views on @TimesNow with @RShivshankar.

PM's rousing speech reminded us that our Galwan martyrs were not terracotta warriors of some middle kindgom. They didn't crumble to dust. And they can never be excavated. Because they can NEVER be forgotten.

My views on @TimesNow with @navikakumar.

The dragon has agreed to retreat with its tail between its crippled legs. As Modi said the other day: Peace can never be won by the weak; bravery is the precondition for peace.

My views on @TimesNow with @RShivshankar. #ChinaPushedBack

No amount of satellite and visual evidence of a Chinese retreat will convince these lobbyists. Theirs is the hand that rocks the cradle, with Rahul Gandhi in it.

My views on @TimesNow with @navikakumar. #ChinaAdmitsPushback

We thwarted their nefarious designs last night at Pangong Tso but they will be back.

Long and tense night ahead. Our bravest jawans are in our thoughts.

Their sacrifices are a burden all of us carry. Forever.

When China occupies 5 dominating mountain positions: "Have we been sleeping? Modi should resign. We are cowards."

When we occupy 30 dominating mountain positions: "Neeche utro salon, kahan chadh gaye. You want a war?"

China says it does not recognise the Union Territory of Ladakh.

While India refuses to have diplomatic relations with Taiwan. PM Modi did not even deem it fit to respond to the warm birthday wishes of the Taiwanese President.

A lesson not given, is a lesson not learnt.

Happy #TaiwanNationalDay.

I stand with Taiwan 🇹🇼

China crossed the line in more ways than one. It must pay for ruining the world economy. As for India, it must begin to slowly to decouple economically from China.

My views on @TimesNow with @RShivshankar. #AtmanirbhartaTruth

Where else should the Prime minister celebrate Diwali - in Thailand?

My views on @TimesNow with @madhavgk, on the shameless politicisation of Modi's decision to celebrate Diwali with our jawans. #ModiDiwaliWithForces

There will be a condolence meeting at noon (at Mount Road, Chennai, and Parliament street, Delhi) in memory of the Chinese soldiers who laid down their lives protecting the motherland from Indian aggression.

Indian journalists working for China are requested to attend. Thanks.

SHAME on those who doubted the supreme valour and sacrifice of our Jawans.

As for China, SHAME on it to have not accepted or announced the martyrdom of its own soldiers for almost a year.
