#RememberingRajivGandhi:

There seems to be a "whitewashing" of history, when it comes to the so called "fairest" of Indian Prime Ministers - Rajiv Gandhi. So while we are remembering him today let us also learn some facts.
•1984 Anti-Sikh Riots: Rajiv's party presided over the biggest pogrom in India's history - 8000 Sikhs were murdered right around the national capital as a vengeance for the assassination of his mother - Indira Gandhi. This is 10x the size of 2002 riots.
• Bhopal Gas Tragedy: 'Govt, Union Carbide struck secret deal post leak': He was the Prime Minister when Bhopal Gas tragedy (world's worst industrial disaster) struck. He had the chief of Union Carbide in India. But, Rajiv traded the life of 17k people and let him go.
• Shah Bano: Rajiv overruled the court both HC & SC verdict & took away the basic rights of a 60yr old Muslim women Shah Bano who was seeking Rs. 200/m from her husband, for supporting her 5 children after the lawyer husband deserted her. He betrayed her only to appease muzzies.
• Bofors Scandal: Sonia Gandhi and her Italian contacts allegedly led to India's biggest scam of the time - Bofors scandal [Ms. Gandhi then broke her own record in the 2004-14 regime with 2G]. It involved getting large kickbacks in buying guns from a Swedish firm Bofors.
• Rigging elections in Kashmir leading to terrorism: It is agreed that the Congress rigged that elections to favor its ally - National Conference. The people were so disappointed that it brought the rise of Mujahideen in the valley and marked the start of its violent phase.
• Indian Peace Keeping Force: Rajiv sent 100,000 armed men to Sri Lanka that was widely hated as an occupying force and thrown out in ignominy. Overall 1200 armed men died and plenty more of both Tamils & Sinhalese lost lives and soured our relations with Sri Lanka.

THREAD: Covid & Congress Toolkit

When India is fighting the worst pandemic which has crumbled the entire world on its feet this is how Congress is busy in making the toolkit to gain political benefits over it.

Have a look below..

#CongressToolkitExposed
• WHO never mentioned "Indian" strain in their reports. But Congress volunteers were asked to use the word "Indian Strain" in the tool kit.

Is it a coincidence that NDTV and The Hindu followed the same orders?
* As per the tool kit celebrities donating to PMCARES fund were to be aggressively questioned by the volunteers in order to create distress among the masses.

A few days ago, WHO praised UP for dealing Covid19 cases, especially in rural areas. WHO said that the large-scale testing and extensive contact tracing by the UP govt in rural areas prevented the cases from exploding in the villages of UP, which is highly populated.

1/3
Yesterday, UP conducted close to 3 lakh tests in a single day and there were about 10,000 new cases. This means that the positivity rate of Uttar Pradesh is just 3.8%, close to the recommended 3-5% by WHO. On the other hand, the national test positivity rate is > 15%.

2/3
Unfortunately, these are the news which you won't hear. While PR machinery and darbari media would tirelessly sing praises of Maharashtra (which has remained the worst effected state ever since the pandemic), there would be pin-drop silence over work done by the UP government.
