So why did they delete tweet? Are foreign missions hoarding oxygen? NZ High Commission @NZinIndia
must make public statement if any NZ diplomat or NZ staff posted in Delhi is down with @COVID19 and @MEAIndia did not respond.
In absence of statement we must assume it is hoarding.
But for whom is @NZinIndia trying to "arrange for oxygen cylinders urgently"? Who needs them?
Was @MEAIndia contacted?
Did @NZinIndia open its gates? The New Zealand High Commission must tell 1. Whom did they ask the oxygen for? 2. Did they contact MEA prior to public appeal? 3. If yes, what was MEA response?
[I won't even ask where are IYC folks getting O2 in Delhi even as ICUs are running dry.]
So does @NZinIndia High Commission have a "critically ill" patient on its premises? Is the person a #COVID19 patient?
Unless the New Zealand High Commission clarifies, confirms or denies, we must presume this was an SOS call aimed at hoarding oxygen.
Official statement by MEA @MEAIndia on oxygen issue viz foreign missions in Delhi. Please see last sentence:

“राम मंदिर निर्माण की यह प्रक्रिया राष्ट्र को जोड़ने का उपक्रम है। यह महोत्सव है… नर को नारायण से जोड़ने का, लोगों को आस्था से जोड़ने का, अतीत को वर्तमान से जोड़ने का, और, स्व को संस्कार से जोड़ने का।”
~ प्रधान मंत्री @narendramodi
One of the phrases used by some of us ESP during the #Ayodhya Movement was:
‘Past imperfect, future tense.’
How would one translate the popular slogan, heard everywhere during the #Ayodhya Movement, ‘Garv se kaho hum Hindu hain’ into English for the benefit of the ESP and the grammar nazis who read The Statesman?
What is the real nature of the recovery of #India 's economy laid low by the #COVID19 pandemic? Where does #Bharat stand in the post-pandemic world? Are carping critics and Cassandras right? Or should they simply zip their lips and sit tight?
Here is a🧵on the latest State Bank of India Research Report, Debunking K-Shaped Recovery, released on 8 January 2024.
[Text is directly quoted from the report.}
E1
>Consumption of the bottom 90% of the population has increased by Rs 8.2 trillion post-pandemic;
>Income inequality has declined significantly from 0.472 TO 0.402 during FY14-FY22;
>36.3% of taxpayers has moved from lower income to higher income tax bracket;
>This has resulted in 21.3% additional income;
>19.5% of small firms have transitioned into larger firms through MSME value chain integration;
>15% are women taxpayers:
>20 million urban family members are consuming food through Zomato from semi-urban area.
E2.
❑The oft repeated conundrum debating a K-shaped recovery post-pandemic seems at best flawed, incomplete, ill-concocted analysis and fanning interests of select quarters to whom India’s remarkable ascendance, signaling more the renaissance of the new global south, is perhaps unpalatable.

It was stupid of Congress to think its terrible record of handling issues pertaining to North-East would not be recalled during Opposition’s #NoConfidenceMotion against Modi Government.
Unless, of course, Rahul Gandhi, Mamata Banerjee, et al were blissfully ignorant.
n1
For example, PM @narendramodi , in his reply to the #NoConfidenceMotion mentioned how Indira Gandhi had ordered IAF to strafe and bomb Mizo villages in undivided Assam in March 1966. The ostensible reason was to put down a Mizo ‘rebellion’. That was only a quarter story.
n2
There was terrible famine and hunger in Mizo areas following ‘Mautam’ — flowering of bamboo and invasion by rats every 50-odd years — in 1958-59.
PM Nehru was too busy windbagging on global issues and with China to notice hunger and starvation deaths at home in Mizo villages.
