"A fair and inclusive Covid vaccine access strategy should have been in place by now. But there are still no signs of it." - @RahulGandhi on 27th August 2020
"No free vaccines for 18-45 yr olds. Middlemen brought in without price controls. No vaccine guarantee for weaker sections." - @RahulGandhi on 20th-April-2021
"...intervene immediately and reverse this ill considered decision. The nation's goal must be to ensure that everyone over 18 years is given the vaccine, regardless of their economic circumstances."
Joint Letter to Prime Minister by Major Opposition Parties led by @INCIndia.
Demanding:
1. Procure vaccines centrally from all available sources - global and domestic. 2. Immediately begin a free, universal mass vaccination campaign across the country.
"GOI's vaccine policy is compounding the problem. Vaccine purchase should be centralised and distribution decentralised." - @RahulGandhi on 14th May 2021

The Covid-19 pandemic in our country has assumed unprecedented dimensions of a human catastrophe.
We have repeatedly in the past drawn your attention, independently and jointly, to the various measures that are absolutely imperative for the Central government to undertake and implement. Unfortunately, your government has either ignored or refused all these suggestions.
This only compounded the situation to reach such an apocalyptic human tragedy.
Without going into all the acts of commission and omission by the Central government that have brought the country to such a tragic pass, we are of the firm opinion that the following...

...from his bunker. In the course of the next few hours, Hitler along with his girlfriend committed suicide. Some say he chew on cyanide after giving the same to Eva Braun & Some say he shot himself but one thing is certain that Hitler did what he...2/6
...did because of the fate his former friend in Italy met 2 days ago.

Police has unleashed brutal indiscriminate lathicharge on protesting farmers at Baghpat, Delhi-Sahranpur Highway. Farmer leaders on site arrested and taken to undisclosed location. #BoycottBJP

RAW got to know about this 'deal' & promptly shared the information with the government & army. India government ordered 300 artic-weather gears...2/n
...double of what Pakistanis had ordered from the same company. RAW ensured that delivery of the gears to Pakistan was delayed & we got it right on time, Which gave the Indian army tactical head-start & Army planned an operation to occupy the glacier by 13 April 1984...3/n
We all know about the Bonhomie between Narendra Modi and Xi Jinping, Lets now look at the connection between

Few pertinent questions raised by @PChidambaram_IN Ji in the PC.
1. PM said there is no Chinese in Indian territory. If this is true, what was the fuss about May 5-6? Why was there a fight between troops on June 16-17? Why did India lose 20 lives? #ModiSurrendersToChina
1/5
2. If there was no intrusion by Chinese troops at all, what did the Corps Commanders talk about on June 6? Was it about the weather?
3. If no Chinese troops had crossed the LAC into Indian territory, why did Foreign Minister Jaishankarโs statement refer to โrestoration of status quo anteโ?
