All those who were crying Modi is fascist are today silent as Bengal burns. They probably think Sitaram Yechury, outraging at the violence and bloodletting, is also a Sanghi.

My views on @TimesNow with @RShivshankar.
#DemocracyDoubtersExposed
What is happening in Bengal right now happened in Kashmir 30 years ago. Are we going to allow Indians to become refugees in their own land again?

My views on @TimesNow with @navikakumar. #BengalExodusReport
Blood-curdling affidavits by victims of Bengal Violence are being ignored by those who claim they speak truth to power; media is shitting bricks; judges are recusing; and the Roys and Setalvads? They wake up only when victims are not Hindu women.

And you ask what is Fascism.
Spine-chilling ground report and victim testimonies of Bengal violence, meticulously documented by @azad_nishant.

The horror stays with you long after you have read this piece. But it must be read. By the State that is blind and the Centre that is asleep. organiser.org/Encyc/2021/6/2…
"Even minor girls were not spared." These & other observations by the High Court on Bengal violence are damning beyond measure.

Doubtless, had the UPA been at the Centre, and had these unspeakable crimes been committed on Congress workers, Bengal would be under President's Rule. Image
A month ago the SC issued a notice to the Centre to appear before it in the Bengal Violence petition.

Today the court was informed that the Centre hasn't even bothered to represent itself through a counsel yet. Matter was adjourned.

Explain this SHAMEFUL act, Mr @KirenRijiju.
You want to stop Punjab & Chhattisgarh CMs from visiting UP, fine. What stopped the CMs of 12 BJP States from visiting Bengal to stand with victims of post-poll violence? I ask this of the BJP.

The response: Our CMs didn't visit Bengal as we didn't want to spread unrest there.
How many out of the 12 BJP Chief ministers visited Bengal to take stock of the violence, to express solidarity with the BJP workers?

BJP's response: Our CMs didn't visit Bengal because we didn't want to spread unrest & violence there. Besides, ask this question to Mamata not us.

Reinforcing?! Gosh. Are you saying you have read the holy book and are a bigot? Are you condemning the words of Allah? That's blasphemy.

Delete your tweet or there'd be a fatwa against you and I don't want the 'sar tun se juda' brigade to hound you. WDTT
That's why I asked @_sayema to delete her tweet. What she said is blasphemous.

In case she doesn't know: Those who abuse Allah & His Messenger, Allah has cursed them in this world & the Hereafter & prepared for them a humiliating punishment. 33:57 WDTT

With respect sir, such language is unacceptable. Is this a threat? Later on in the thread you warn @BharadwajSpeaks again by writing: "Do nothing to disturb peace and tranquility in the country."

He has stated historical facts, with references. Do historical facts scare you?
The tragedy of our nation. This man should have been inducted in the Education Ministry years ago. Instead he is hounded and threatened by those, Right or Left, who fear the past.

The fools don't understand: Nations that fear their past fear their future.
WTF. @BharadwajSpeaks was neither spreading hatred against the Mizos, nor was he creating disaffection. The thread is FACTUAL and carries historical citations.

It was a mistake to be polite to this man. He is drunk on allusions of power and past glory.

Spine always grows in the back that is against the wall.

To hell with America. Bharat Biotech has already sourced all its raw materials for COVAXIN locally, with Indian manufacturers rushing in to help; and I am sure SII will follow suit.

We stand alone; but WE stand together.
Bharat Biotech has already eliminated dependency on US imports needed for COVAXIN, that has an 81% efficacy, a 99.9% success rate against post-vaccination CoVID, and is equally effective against B.1.617 mutant.

America, if YOU need our help, let us know.

Why are Indian politicians and bureaucrats hailing the US IP/Patent waiver as though it is a godsend for us? All these vaccine technologies are decades old, and our indigenous pipeline is already multi-platform - whole virus; adeno; DNA; RNA; subunit.

Stop being Uncle Toms.

1. Unrelenting abuse since yesterday. Because journalist @atti_cus deliberately misconstrued my tweet that countered his outrage at the fake news that India was exporting Medical Oxygen.

But Instead of apologising he now gets politicians to amplify his lie. These guys are vile.
2. Subsequent to my pointing out that India was exporting not Medical but Industrial Oxygen, and that too just 9200 tons or 0.4% of its 2.19 million tons yearly output, one news portal - the genesis of the fake outrage - withdrew its report & apologised. But @atti_cus never did.
3. @atti_cus triggered thousands to abuse me, to hide his own culpability in spreading fake news of Medical Oxygen export.

I know he will never apologise, and neither will @OmarAbdullah and @Shehla_Rashid, but for those who still go by facts, truth, and objectivity know better.

Dear @PMOIndia. 20,100 Indians have died of CoVID since the beginning of the second wave. Please provide data as to how many of them had been vaccinated.

The USA has provided this data: Out of 75 million vaccinated, only 5800 contracted CoVID, and only 75 of them died.
Data just made public by the govt: Of the 11 crore Indians who got vaccinated (first dose) ONLY 21,353, or 0.019%, later became CoVID positive. The figure would be even lower if you exclude frontline workers.

This is stunning. The vaccines work spectacularly.

Get the jab. NOW. Image
Dear @PMOIndia. We MUST put second dose on hold, or at least increase the gap from 4 weeks to 12 like the UK has, so we can vaccinate as many as possible.

Lancet Covishield study: 81% efficacy if gap between doses is 12 weeks, 55% if gap < 6 weeks.

Save lives. AND Vaccines.

India needs immediate economic as well as structural reforms. We need to cut down on the fiscal deficit, move our labour force away from agriculture; invest more in healthcare and education. We need large scale privatisation.

Let's hope Chief justice Bobde delivers. #Budget2021
It took a pandemic for us to realise that the Health of a nation overrides every other necessity. 137% increase in the Health budget is phenomenal. Fantastic news, this.

The motto of #Budget2021: HEALTH IS WEALTH.
LIC IPO; Disinvestment target of 1.7 lac crore; PSU banks, BPCL, IDBI, GIC to be disinvested in. This is already a dream #Budget2021.

[A gentle reminder, though: Disinvestment, a PSU buying a sick PSU, is not privatisation. Not a single PSU has been privatised since 2003.]
