We are not only the world's largest but also the most vibrant #democracy. And do we need certification from some western organization?
We live in a noisy vibrant democracy. @PMOIndia/Govt are being criticized openly & freely on issues on TV, in print, on digital & social media.
India has strong & free courts of law. India has constitutional bodies & a vibrant press.
India does not & should not need certification on freedom. Vested interests may try to pull India down, but India must constantly work to strengthen economy, society, military & stand tall.
We must remain a democracy & not descend into chaos & anarchy.
Calling for breaking a country is not democracy but an attempt to create anarchy. The law must step in & take its own course.
Farmers forced the government to bring about multiple amendment & rightfully so. #democracy
Every day @PMOIndia & Govt are criticised left, right & centre. TV, Newspapers, digital media fill hours & column spaces with opposition attacks, protests, court observations. Social media is argumentative. All signs of a vibrant & noisy democracy. Vested interests at play here?

1 China pulls back from Southern Pangong Tso
2 China retreats beyond Finger 8.
In Pangong Tso Apr 2020 situation being restored.
3 Now waiting for clarity on other friction points in Ladakh.
4 Depsang predates April 2020.
5 China occupies 40000+ sqkm of Ind territory since 1950s
Veterans on social media can enlighten us better but I am told:
1. Indian post was at Finger 3 (Dhan Singh Thapa post) itself
2. We tried to patrol till our claim line Finger 8. There was resistance by PLA.
3. PLA tried to patrol till Finger 4 own Tps went from 3 & stopped them.
Indian Army checkmated China at Kailash ranges & has other aces up its sleeve. China has realized India will no longer permit Chinese transgressions.
Temp halt in patrolling is to calm the situation down.
India China stand off/tensions will continue either in Ladakh or elsewhere

India has an edge in Eastern Ladakh: @rajnathsingh in Rajya Sabha. Solution on 3 principles
1. Respect LAC
2. No unilateral change of status quo at LAC
3. Full compliance by both sides of a agreements.
China withdraws beyond Finger 8.
India to Maj Dhan Singh Thapa at Finger 3.
India has not lost any territory insists RM @rajnathsingh in Rajya Sabha. Both India & China to withdraw to pre April 2020 status both North & South of Pangong Tso. Withdrawal in next 48 hours. Mutual & verifiable. Then Mil commanders meet again to sort out other friction points.
And RM @rajnathsingh also sets the record straight on approx 40,000 sqkm territory illegally occupied by China earlier (incl 5,180 sqkm illegally ceded by Pakistan) & Chinese claims on 90,000 sqkm of Indian territory (Arunachal Pradesh). Praises valour & determination of soldiers

1. Farmers are not Khalistanis but there are elements fanning the separatist fire.
2. No sane person would call peaceful farmers terrorists but there were elements brandishing Swords & using tractors to ram through police barricades & attempt to run over cops. Facts Vs propaganda
3. No Indian is worried about a tweet by @rihanna @GretaThunberg or @miakhalifa but the toolkit which @DelhiPolice says was prepared by pro #Khalistan elements is a cause for concern.
4. It is for influencers to come clean on how their actions are in sync with pro Khalistan chaps
5. Farmers have been protesting peacefully but it remains a fact that tractors were used as a weapon in the violence & vandalism on Delhi streets.
6. Farmers are non violent but police probing farm leaders for saying take hostages to negotiate with govt.
7. 500+ cops are injured.

Dissent in Democracy?
Or Anarchy?
Farmers Protests or are 'farmers' an excuse to disrupt law & order.
Mobile towers: Do they not help with online education?
Communication?
Telemedicine?
Banking?
Who is disrupting India again & again?
Violation of law is totally unacceptable
As of now is there any evidence to suggest MSP will go?
APMCs will go?
Any threat to farmers land?
Are vested interests indulging in fear mongering?
Is that fear mongering causing genuine & real harm to India's growth story where data & communications play a key role
#IndiaFirst
What will damaging mobile towers achieve? 27 petrol pumps in Delhi's border belt have complained of zero business in past 30 days. Factories are complaining of losses & salary/job cuts. So fears of farmers due to fear mongering by netas leads to real losses on ground to industry?

Gurdwara #RakabGanj is where the dismembered body of Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib was consigned to flames after Mughal emperor Aurangzeb had him beheaded. Guru Tegh Bahadur protecting Hindus did not convert to Islam on Aurangzeb's orders.The 9th Sikh Guru is hailed as 'Hind Di Chadar'
Aurangzeb ordered that Guru Tegh Bahadur's body will not be removed. There was a massive dust storm & taking advantage of it 2 followers: Bhai Jaita took Guru Tegh Bahadur's head to Anandpur Sahib & Bhai Lakhi Shah hid Guru Sahib's body under bales of cotton & got it to Rakabganj
Had he cremated Guru Tegh Bahadur's body it would have aroused the suspicion of the Mughal army so Bhai Lakhi Shah set his house on fire. At that exact spot is Gurdwara Rakabganj. If Hindus are able to follow our religion & beliefs it is due to the sacrifice of Guru Tegh Bahadur.
