My humble tribute to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose on his 125th birth anniversary. His contribution to the freedom struggle is incomparable. Independent #India 🇮🇳 owes him an immense debt of gratitude.
🙏🏼 1/4
The decision to install a magnificent statue of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose under the canopy at India Gate, where once stood the statue of King George V, King Emperor of colonial British India, is a fitting tribute to a national hero. 2/4
Prime Minister @narendramodi will inaugurate a hologram of Netaji’s statue today, marking his 125th birth anniversary, pending the installation of the granite statue.
It will also mark the formal start of Republic Day celebrations. 3/4
After 7 decades of mumbo-jumbo from craven beneficiaries of colonial/post-colonial White patrons, #India 🇮🇳 is at last witnessing decolonisation through action.
Netaji towering over Lutyens’s Delhi is only the start. #ParakramDiwas #AzadiKaAmritMahotsav #ModiHaiTohMumkinHai 4/4

Massive crackdown by #India on #Pakistan-based and ISI-directed #FakeNews factories
35 @YouTube channels and 2 websites blocked by Ministry of Information & Broadcasting for spreading anti-India fake news.
Crackdown will continue. No place for fake news aimed at harming India.
n1
The 35 @YouTube channels and 2 websites banned by #India were involved in spreading anti-India #FakeNews in a coordinated manner over digital media. The now blocked YouTube accounts had a total subscriber base of over 1.2 crore, and their videos had over 130 crore views.
n2
Along with the 35 @YoutTube channels and 2 websites, Government of #India has also blocked two @Twitter accounts, two @instagram accounts, and one @Meta / Facebook account for being involved in spreading coordinated anti-India disinformation.

The canopy at India Gate housed a statue of King George V. it was installed in 1938 to honour India’s ‘King Emperor’.
n1
In 1968 the statue of King George V was removed from the canopy at India Gate and installed at Coronation Park. Since then the canopy has remained empty. It was to be replaced by the statue of a national hero. Like Vienna Congress, there were deliberations, but no conclusion.
n2
PM @narendramodi has taken the empty anti-colonial rhetoric of 7 decades to a splendid conclusion: The India Gate canopy will now house a grand granite statue of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, honouring the great national hero on his 125th birth anniversary.

A lot of ill-informed, media-driven misinformation is circulating regarding the flame of the 'Amar Jawan Jyoti'.
The flame of the 'Amar Jawan Jyoti' is NOT being extinguished. It is being MERGED with the eternal flame which honours fallen soldiers at National War Memorial.
n1
The flame at India Gate paid homage to martyrs of 1971 and other wars but none of their names is inscribed there.
Names inscribed on India Gate are of only some martyrs who fought for the British in World War I and Anglo Afghan War. It was a symbol of India's colonial past.
n2
The names of all Indian martyrs from all the wars, including 1971 and wars before and after, are housed at the National War Memorial. Hence it would be a true shraddhanjali to have the flame paying tribute to our fallen soldiers there.
n3
An Indian politician travels abroad frequently. His destination, itinerary, meetings, expenses are kept a closely guarded secret.
The same politician’s venal stooges merrily disclose the top secret security and travel details of the PM of #India , compromising PM’s security.
n1
Nation must be told details about this Opposition politician’s foreign travels, especially his meetings and foreign expenses.
The breach in PM of #India’s security coincides with one such secret foreign visit.
PM’s security is a national issue. People have the right to know.
n2
Per law, this Opposition politician, elected MP, is a ‘public servant’. He cannot hide behind ‘privacy’, not when one of his undisclosed foreign visits coincides with a hideous breach in the security of the PM. There is enough evidence his party was complicit in this breach.
n3
On 5 Jan 2022 morning PM @narendramodi landed at Bathinda from where he was to go to the National Martyrs Memorial at Hussainiwala by helicopter. Due to rain and poor visibility, the Prime Minister waited for about 20 minutes for the weather to clear out.
PM Security Lapse 1
Due to bad weather, it was decided that PM @narendramodi would visit National Marytrs Memorial via road, which would take more than two hours. He proceeded to travel by road after confirmation of necessary security arrangements by DGP Punjab Police.
PM Security Lapse 2
30 km away from National Martyrs Memorial in Hussainiwala, when PM @narendramodi ’s convoy reached a flyover, it was found that the road was blocked by some protestors.
PM was stuck on the flyover for 15-20 minutes. This was a major lapse in PM's security.
PM Security Lapse 3
Stay calm and get #vaccinated
Do NOT trust bogus media reports claiming 'expired vaccines' are being administered in #India
As usual, such reports are false and malicious, aimed at creating vaccine hesitancy so media can harvest #COVID19 horror stories and profit from them.
n1
Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO), Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of #India, had earlier approved extension of shelf life of Covaxin and Covishield vaccines to 12 months and 9 months, respectively.
n2
The extension of shelf life of Covaxin and Covishield was widely publicised in 2021. It has been common knowledge.
Yet, some misleading reports have appeared, falsely alleging expired vaccines are being administered in #India under its national vaccination programme.
