1 Thread on how @Twitter & @TwitterIndia violated their own @Policy terms of service to push a political agenda. The case refers to Shehla Rashid Shora & how twitter management broke the rules for her. Important that @rsprasad@HMOIndia & @DelhiPolice take note
2 how do we know this original account @shehlarashid was hers? Because the soon to be Chief of twitter India as well as several blue tick handles had tagged her & actively interacted with her including @CSR_India & @AJStream
3 note how the @CSR_India link leads directly to a photo of her & quotes of her, on decreasing the age of consent while Raheel’s tagging of her is to do with an @AJEnglish programme on the Nirbhaya Rape case protests.
4 yet despite the ban on her account sometime in august 2013, @TwitterIndia miraculously allows her to activate a new account immediately. 18 months later @verified proceeds to give her a blue tick days after the Tukde-Tukde protests at JNU in February 2016 (Umar Khalid currently
5 in jail on UAPA was also blue ticked almost simultaneously) the funny thing is, that at this point of time, you could only get blue ticked if you knew someone at twitter. Their public verification was announced only in July 2016
6 Think about what happened. Twitter officials knew about & interacted with her previous account, allowed her to circumvent the ban, & within days of the Feb 9th terrorist OGW protests at JNU gave her account (already in violation of their ban evasion policy) a blue tick.
7 mind you, even as per the latest revision of @Twitter@Policy her new account @Shehla_Rashid remains is absolute violation of the rules - note specifically the language “regardless of when the other account was created”
8 forget the laws of India - @Twitter@TwitterIndia & @Policy don’t even enforce their own policies when it’s suits their political agenda. Clearest case of corporate malfeasance, collusion & politicking there is.

Calls all day from BJP supporters that local BJP leaders have abandoned them. They are being subjected to a targeted pogrom “ukun baacha” (get rid of the lice) NOT ONE bjp leader is helping, turned off phones & run away. Great leadership @BJP4Bengal@KailashOnline@narendramodi
.These are some of the videos - people who were ever heard saying “Joy Sree Ram” are being targetted. - homes shops everything
THREAD: 1n the state has browbeaten this “philanthropic gesture” out of him. But different pricing slabs were & are a sure fire market distorter. Why? There are 2 accepted pricing structures
2n the former ensures stability - the latter does not. But where does a variegated pricing structure fit in India? Even in OECD countries these are prone to heavy manipulation - but in a 3rd world country with notoriously corrupt babus, this is an open licence to bribe & distort
3n What happens is SII sells its 50% quote to the states at Rs 300 - but bribes babus and leaders to stall/delay supply. Meanwhile demand only gets more - so the Rs600 vaccines are the only ones keeping pace with demand. Consequently black marketing also sets in. Mind you it’s
1n A quick thread on Oxygen supply. We produce a huge amount of oxygen in this country - enough for both the COVID surge and Industry. The problem is the oxygen supply is co-located with steel plants in Bihar-Jharkhand (Tatas), Odisha & Bellary (Jindals). The problem is a
2n shortage of transport and supply infrastructure- large tanks to carry liquefied oxygen (LOX)outside the production-consumption triangle. While the production may be enough for both, the transportation & storage infrastructure is not. That’s why Industry needs to be shut/scaled
3n down and compensated for losses, while using their transport infrastructure for supplying LOX to tier 1 & 2 distribution hubs. That’s the big failing in the response so far - the transport and storage. Second failure is that plans to build oxygen production plants in tier 2
1n I knew Supreme Court judges seem economically illiterate, but I’m aghast to discover the extraordinary superficiality & outright nonsense history spewed by an allegedly “scholarly” judge. His history classes seem to be from 1921 not 2021. A thread on the inaccuracies here
2n First up Ptolemy did not start Egyptian royal consanguinity. It begins with the first dynasty, lasts through the old, middle & new kingdoms. Tutankhamen was perhaps the most famous product of incest with severe inherited diseases
3n the joke of Shakespeare as a historical source aside 1) Egypt was already a Roman vassal 2) it was cleopatra’s atrocious choices, interfering in Roman politics that got her killed 3) clearly never heard of Hatshepsut - a far greater regnant Queen who achieved much more
1 As usual this government has failed miserably in busting the “navreet shot” narrative, just like it did with CAA. Let’s just look at the visuals. First the “entry wounds” (they could also be exit wounds). I suspect it’s on this basis that the guardian concluded 2 bullets
2 now notice there is no charring - which would be the case if the bullets were fired close range. If they weren’t fired close range, the question is how did these two wounds get so close to each other? Physically impossible shooting skills you’d only see in fantasy movies. Let’s
3 now examine the “single bullet” theory that the forensic expert peddles. That begs the question where did the second hole come from & what did it come from? As we’ve seen the 2 bullet theory is out, but the single bullet theory implies impossible ballistics or a secondary wound
Thread on the #ArnabGate#WhatsAppLeaks. Alleged Journos are outraging how Arnab knew a retaliatory strike for #PulwamaAttack was imminent days before. Well here’s a list of people who knew beforehand 1. @htTweets because the PM said so on 23rd FEB
2. The @IndianExpress knew because the reported Sambit’s speech TK this effect
3. @IndianExpress had been reporting @ImranKhanPTI saying this a full 6 days before the attack. Did Modi call and inform Khan as well?
