Claims made by Rahul Gandhi in Lok Sabha and Facts.

1. Claim: Modi brought Pakistan and China together.

Fact: Shaksgam Valley was ceded by Pakistan to China in 1963, in Nehru's lifetime.
Earlier, Nehru had lost parts of Kashmir to Pak in 1948 & from Ladakh to China in 1962. 1/5

Claims made by @RahulGandhi in Lok Sabha and Facts.

3. Claim: Constitution of India says India is NOT a Nation.

Fact: Preamble of Constitution itself clarifies whether India is a nation or not. Rahul's claim that India is NOT a nation is false and dangerously misleading. 3/5

Some people are replying by saying "what about inflation"?

Inflation is factored in every year. Where? In salary increases.

For government employees 7th Pay Commission implemented in 2017 and DA over and above. It is currently at 31%.

Similar structure in private industry.
Some additional information since many people, either erroneously or motivated, are making observations.

Take the case of educational loans (that middle class tales) and the savings that accrue.

A saving of 2.6 lakhs on a 10 lakh educational loan with tenure of 5 years!

SC today dismissed plea filed by Devas Multimedia against NCLAT order, which had ruled that Devas was incorporated with a fraudulent motive to collude and connive with the then officials of Antrix Corporation.

Want is then?
2005.
Under Manmohan Singh-Sonia Gandhi rule.
1/5
The mind-boggling nature of the Devas deal, under the loot and plunder era of UPA from 2004-14, is such that it has few parallels.

The deal was signed in 2005.

Till 2010 the Space Commission was not even aware vital national resources had been fraudulently given away. 2/5
When the 2G scam broke, the UPA, to save skin cancelled the deal. But its fraud did not stop.

1) UPA did not invoke National Security clause to annul, thereby leaving a door open for Devas to appeal.

2) UPA lied that S-band was not given to Devas.2005 agreement (pic): 3/5

As India crosses the milestone of $100 billion digital transactions by value in Oct 2021, fitting to recall the condescending tone of Mr. @PChidambaram_IN on India's digital payments ambitions.

"What will the poor lady do" asked the Congress stalwart? 1/5

(9th Feb, 2017)
Other stalwarts.
@supriya_sule:"How is digital going to work in all of India?"
@ShashiTharoor:"we are not a society in which digital transactions can be done without impediments"
@RahulGandhi:"You cannot force cashless on poor"
@INCIndia:Cashless will benefit foreign powers"
2/5
The entire opposition mocked India's poor and the enterprising ability of India's youth.

From the 'know-it-all" attitude of @PChidambaram_IN to the absurdity of Congress and @RahulGandhi to the eloquent nothingness of @ShashiTharoor.

Not in some ancient era but in 2017. 3/5

There is much debate in certain sections around the phrase "Mother of Democracy" that Prime Minister Modi used to describe India as, during his recent USA visit.

A brief thread on democratic institutions in India much before Greeks in BC era and before Magna Carta in AD era. 1/5
More than 2500 years ago, almost 200 before the Greeks, Republic of Licchavis in present day Bihar was was governed by elected representatives in city assemblies. This elected assembly elected its own leaders and had a shared Constitution like code.

Moraraji Desai on same. 2/5
Or take the Buddhist institution of Sangha-a form of governing assembly.

Buddhists who used to follow the practice of discussion, debate & voting to make collective decisions and for a significant period of Indian history this was the norm. Much before anywhere in the world. 3/5

Rapid Taliban takeover of Afghanistan offers many lessons for India.

Although the situation is still fluid, yet the fact that Taliban has, at least for the foreseeable future, taken control and has at the same time amassed a group of global apologists does offer lessons. 1/10
First, oversized value that some place in India to every word spoken by Western press and Think Tanks must now be consigned to the dustbin.

The old regime and its acolytes behave as if our very existence depends on what some obscure non-entity writes about us in a rag sheet.2/10
An intern in a one-bathroom outfit somewhere in Scandinavia would rate our democracy and we go apocalyptic with self pity.

A hitman would asses our COVID response while his own country is going through fourth wave with almost a million dead and we wallow in endless shame. 3/10

Here is what happened. #ModiSpeech

India's Vaccination policy from 16th Jan-30th April was progressing as per scientific advice.

But entire opposition demanded that States be given more purchasing powers.
@RahulGandhi, @AnandSharmaINC, @MamataOfficial & @ArvindKejriwal.
1/5
GOI, in tune with cooperative federalism spirit, and also because Health is primarily a state subject, liberalized vaccination administration from 1st May.

States could now directly but 25% of stocks.

Result - immediate U-turn by EXACT same Opposition. 2/5 #ModiSpeech
U-turns not limited to just decentralization process alone.

Multiple states announced FREE vaccination drive in all grandeur but then turned to GOI to get that promise fulfilled!

In reality, the Opposition states were JUST DOING abysmal and low-level politics. 3/5
