Here’s a #Thread on the most foul-mouthed Spokesperson in the opposition to show you the level of Indian opposition.
1/n - Supriya Shrinate of Congress calling Sambit Patra as “Naali Ka Keeda” Live on Aaj Tak. (2021). She was once an anchor on NDTV.
2/n - Surpriya Shrinate of Congress is a repeat offender must say. When points of rebuttal are finished, she brings out “Non Sensical” and “Shut Up” to counter !! (2020)
3/n - Ragini Nayak of Congress calling Gaurav Bhatia "sadakchhaap", "totle aadmi", "thali ke baingan", “Badtameez Aadmi” on Aaj Tak (2021). She was once the DUSU President !! Look at the level of arrogance, discourse and frustration.
Finally watched the most talked about movie right now #TheKashmirFiles by @vivekagnihotri and here is my “one word” review about different aspects of the movie, the actors and our experience !! Please bear with this #thread ..
The movie #TheKashmirFiles - a “Watershed”. I couldn’t think of a better word to express the anger this movie leaves one with. It’ll be unjust to call it stories, but these are facts & truths that couldn’t have been told in any better way & craftily than this. Let this be a start
Director @vivekagnihotri - “Courageous”. It truly takes courage to fight against all odds in an industry known for its biases, hypocrisies & sugar coating and then pick up “not a fairy tale” but facts and present those truths with an everlasting impact. He’s gutsy & genius.
