Gets worse by the day.
@TwitterIndia does not have a local resident grievance officer as required by law in #India
An address in San Francisco and a US email address is 'local' for @jack but not for Government of India where sovereign laws and not Jack Company rules apply.
Meanwhile, after apologising and correcting distorted map of India previously @Twitter cocks a snook again. It shows #Ladakh as part of #China ; #JammuAndKashmir as separate country.
This is no mistake. This is deliberate distortion by @jack Company to dare Government of #India
Actually, @Twitter is a habitual and serial offender. It continues to compound its offences while hiding behind bumkum on #FreeSpeech
No worries, @TwitterIndia can run but it cannot hide.
Not the first time @Twitter is forced to clean up its act. Nor shall it be the last time either. An intentional offence does not lose its intent just because you have removed the grossly distorted map of #India
Offence does not lose intent if @Twitter tries to scrub off evidence.
@TwitterIndia hastily removed an intentionally distorted map of #India when called out. A repeat offender has violated the sovereign laws of India once again.
And yet another case against @Twitter and @TwitterIndia which have chosen to cease being an intermediary platform and have defiantly refused to comply with the sovereign laws of #India . Let’s see how @jack Company responds.

In guise of angst, anything goes.
Removal of Article 370 was first demanded by Bharatiya Jana Sangh; SP Mookerji died for it. It has been a constant in BJS and later BJP manifesto.
Ram Mandir was a VHP issue in 1987-88. BJP adopted it via Palampur Resolution in 1989.
#KnowFacts
What would angsters have done had they been around when #BJP was down to 2 MPs in Lok Sabha?
Or even earlier when BJS was decimated and party lost nearly all legislators in Rajasthan after Bhairon Singh declared support for zamindari abolition?
Or when a young LK Advani spurned a (then) promising alliance with Ram Rajya Parishad because Swami Karpatri Maharaj openly advocated casteism and untouchability?
Or, when a nascent BJS bravely confronted the powerful Swami Narayan sect over temple entry?

My father passed away this morning. He was #COVID positive.

नैनं छिन्दन्ति शस्त्राणि नैनं दहति पावकः। न चैनं क्लेदयन्त्यापो न शोषयति मारुतः॥
ॐ शान्ति।। 🙏
His last days were on a hospital bed, on oxygen.
He spent his working life setting up oxygen units at hospitals. His work at PGIMR Chandigarh in mid-1960s drew attention of Tatas. He shifted to Jamshedpur where he set up O2 unit at TMH and other hospitals. It was his passion.
My father was rarely home. My early memories of him were of endless tours of outstation hospitals to install, check, repair O2 lines. He and his labour gang would rush out at odd hours to attend to leaks and blocks. The phone at home would usually receive urgent calls from TMH.

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. Image
But for whom is @NZinIndia trying to "arrange for oxygen cylinders urgently"? Who needs them?
Was @MEAIndia contacted? Image
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.] Image

Point of departure between Indira Gandhi and AB Vajpayee was Jana Sangh’s demand for immediate recognition of Provisional Govt of Bangladesh.
ABV and BJS fully acknowledged Indira Gandhi’s role in liberation of #Bangladesh. So did PM @narendramodi in Dhaka. Read
#ModiInBangladesh
India’s support to Mukti Bahini was covert. India took in 10 million refugees fleeing Pakistan Army genocide. Indira Gandhi launched a global campaign. India’s military intervention began Dec 3 and ended Dec 16 1971. #India immediately recognised #Bangladesh.
#ModiInBangladesh
Untold story of 1971 is how #USSR dilly-dallied over backing #India on #Bangladesh Liberation War. Kremlin and CPSU were split. There was great hesitation in Moscow as many did not want to upset US-Soviet detente. #US was backing #Pakistan and ignored genocide.

'Academics' just don't realise that the Internet has radically changed the world and 'knowledge' is no longer their preserve, privilege and prerogative.

Do share freely.
#ModiInBangladesh
PM @narendramodi mentions his participation in Bharatiya Jana Sangh rally of 25 May 1971 in support of recognising #Bangladesh in a book be wrote in 1978. 'Scholarship' is slightly more than copy-pasting from sarkari archives or regurgitating known stuff.
#ModiInBangladesh
'Scholarship' is not about turning up your nose at documents that exist beyond your charmed little circle of know-alls. Govt of #Bangladesh in this citation acknowledged the role of Atal Bihari Vajpayee as president of Jana Sangh in supporting #Liberation War.
