Recently, @theskindoctor13 handle was suspended by twitter following mass reporting by those opposed to the ideology he represents; unlike previous occasions in similar cases, @theskindoctor13 's handle was back within days. What changed? Why is twitter being so reasonable now?
Only few hours ago we saw this tweet by @LawBeatInd telling us about @Twitter informing Delhi HC in plea seeking action against @RahulGandhi for sharing info abt rape victim- so what changed? Why twitter-doyen of newleft acting so reasonable- what changed?
How come a company i.e. @Twitter, was accusing Indian govt as a threat to freedom of speech from every roof-top during peak summers of May saw all its aggression washed down the Yamuna during monsoons...what changed?
I wonder where is that "what is BJP govt with 303 seats doing" brigade of Twitter? Why cant they take note of the "gaayab" act of all the aggression and the bravado of twitter was - just a few months ago!

Have you seen a single usual suspect who used to mock Goi talk of this?
So my dear friends, at the cost of being sounded a 2 rupees IT Celliya, let me tell you something- governments have a way of doing things.....you need to give them time and trust them of doing the right thing at the opportune time- like this meity.gov.in/content/notifi…
But for all the initial bravado that the new doyen of the new left tried to show via those press releases (pic 1) and all PR campaign - Pic 2 is the new reality as of yesterday techcrunch.com/2021/08/10/twi…
Dear friends, trust is the key, so is patience- even black robes had no choice but to aid the govt, as govt acted with clinical precision & kudos to @narendramodi govt and @GoI_MeitY for this act of bringing twitter down to its knees- even CNN said that edition.cnn.com/2021/07/09/tec…
While round 1 of this battle to impose and comprehensively establish the sovereignty of Indian system over foreign cos like Twitter operating in India has gone to Government; we must not lose sight of the bigger war that GOI is fighting and hence our support is important!
For now - let us celebrate this victory of @narendramodi govt over bigTech as it is a victory indeed-

from this in.mashable.com/tech/22549/twi… (Pic 1)

BTW for this @KanoongoPriyank headed @NCPCR_ deserves credit - but then whose agency NCPCR is - this is exactly the way to deal with this problem

Everything in Afghan is redux of the late 80s & early '90s or most importantly the phase that ended with the capture of Kabul by the Taliban in Sep 96. Now as Afghanistan & world is staring at a similar fall of Kabul to Taliban,it is important to put things in proper perspective!
While genesis of much of Afghan's probs lay in series of Anglo-Afghan wars- 2nd(1878-1880) followed by Treaty of Gandamak of 1879, Durand Line agreement of 1893 & 3rd Anglo Afghan War that finally culminated in Rawalpindi Treaty of 1919 & Treaty of 1921
But let us keep the historical perspective of those wars aside for the time being (although fact is that just like Kashmir, Afghanistan represents an all-important unfinished agenda and outcome of the majority of the games played by Britishers in the sub-continent ).....

The retired IPS turned Hindutva certifying agency @MNageswarRaoIPS may have been executing contract to do someone’s bidding but truth has a way of coming out -so here it goes MNR Garu- your lies won’t hold & certainly not until I’m here to demolish ur propaganda-thread follows ImageImage
“In 2008, the Congress government had made the plan and took the land from DDA.” And that plan was duly executed by AAP in Jan 2018. @MNageswarRaoIPS Rao saheb was busy enjoying his stint at CBI then and his Hindu certification agency contract wasn’t on!

hindustantimes.com/delhi-news/del… ImageImage
Completely unknown to Ex-CBI chief turned Hindutva certification rights holder , it was BJP that was protesting against this Haj house project not this Twitter warriors issuing Hindutva sermons from his handle or clubhouse diatribes ImageImage

Thanks to my views on several contentious topics,I have earned fee badges of honour & often face abuse as well from folks on our side. My fault is that I try to reason basis my understanding of working of govt, gained while working at CM office b/w 2017-21-as official/volunteer.
But for that working, I would have been same and had joined the chorus and outraging at the top of my voice on say Bengal or in a recent case of Ashwini Upadhya etc. However it is imp to document few things to prove that governance & politics is more than a game of arithmetic.
Let me add everything point by point to set the record straight.
1. Govt working: every Govt has to operate as per constitution & follow rules/established procedures that tend to become a law either by an act or by convention / practise. Another reality of Govt is Establishment!

3 days after the election results, BJPs party president was in Bengal to meet the victims - but then this doesn’t matter to online warriors simply because it doesn’t suit the narrative they are promoting
Bengal is a case of violence being perpetrated on the party and party’s president was in Bengal 3 days after that; clearly party is retaliating also. At Govt level, govt’s representative in the state- Governor- is making daily noise but then what people want is - PM to spk 1/2
This obsession about hearing for words instead of making sense of the actions being taken is not a new thing in the behavioural pattern of online warriors- Bengal, at least since 1970s has always seen massive political violence in the form of retaliation by party in power…

Often u must have heard an argument abt Modi Govt spending Rs 24,000 crs on minority scholarships to further the narrative that BJP and RSS are engaged in some sort of minority appeasement, being spread by the gang that hails Owaisi ally as most dharmic leader> Thread follows!
The genesis of this claim by the particular gang is this Dec 19 @SwarajyaMag report filed by @haryannvi swarajyamag.com/ideas/seculari… - what this gang never tells you is that the amt of Rs 24K crores was spent during 6 years on 26 schemes run by Minority affairs ministry
Here is spreadsheet from @SwarajyaMag report to set the matters straight. Rs 24,000 crores over 6 years makes is Rs 4000 cr per year on an average....big deal well...for this gang hell-bent on furthering their narrative it must be so..but reality is lot different- lets examnine

How many of u remember taulayi kutayi of a Hockey umpire by Indian team in Dhaka in 1984 -if I’m not wrong it included Mervyn Fernandes, Joaquim Carvallaho and others
I remember watching 1982 Asiad match where Mullah brothers - Salimullah and Kalimullah along with Hasan Sardar played havoc with Indian defences :)
I think everyone of us who grew up in 80s were all essentially hockey fans as well- followed it with similar intensity as cricket -one match I still remember listening to was Champions trophy match with Germany when Pargat Singh last min brilliance helped Ind make it 5-5 from 2-5
