When the issue of #GurugramNamazRow was going, @yasirerkus from Turkey contacted me for an interview.

Since he didn’t publish my views, I’m putting out the questions and answers myself.
(EVERY SINGLE WORD)

Note: Sharing this chat with his approval (refer third picture)

1/9
I responded to all his questions and even requested to share the article with me and tag me on Twitter while putting it here.

But then, @yasirerkus had more questions.

2/9
Since a foreign journalist @yasirerkus was asking about my country and also questioning about my #Hindu identity, I felt it important to respond.

(I’ve written his questions first and then responded)

3/9
Now @yasirerkus asked me specifically about #Gurugram.

So I gave him the real picture.

4/9
After this, @yasirerkus shifted the goal post and equated #Namaz with #Holi and #Diwali. So I cleared the air.

Then he bluntly asked me if I am angry with public prayers.

5/9
Then unexpectedly, @yasirerkus gave his verdict that 🇮🇳 is treating Muslîms unfairly.

Had to rebut him with facts.

He then asked me if I wish to be quoted for my opinions.

I said yes.

6/9
I was shocked when @yasirerkus actually started justifying terrorîsm. Like seriously dude?!

Have responded to him on that which was very much required.

7/9
But @yasirerkus continued with his justification.

And I ended the interview with Namaste 🙏

8/9
Today after 2 months, I asked @yasirerkus if he published the article

He told me that he did publish the article but didn’t put my views

For a Hindu majority 🇮🇳,
he quoted @ziyaussalam who he referred as
“Muslim Indian Journalist” but didn’t quote a “Hindu Nationalist”

Lol
9/9

Over 2 Lakh students in schools run by MCD doesn’t have Books to read.

Delhi High Court shocked to see Delhi govt being ignorant about students not going to school or having textbooks.

“You are putting children as a trading point, they are not a trading commodity for us."

1/9 Image
Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj through govt lawyer submitted:

- Standing Committee of MCD in not there.

- Delegating more powers to an appropriate authority would require the consent of the Chief Minister.

- Chief Minister @ArvindKejriwal is presently in custody.

2/9 Image
Delhi High Court:
Because there is a vaccum does not mean students can be allowed to study without textbooks.

Delhi High Court further said:
@Saurabh_MLAgk had turned a blind eye to the plight of students and is shedding crocodile tears.

Tagging @NCPCR_ & @EduMinOfIndia

1951: Congress under Nehru boycotted Somnath Mandir.

2024: Congress under Nehru family boycotted #AyodhyaRamMandir.

#AntiHinduCongress

1/5 Image
First President of 🇮🇳 Dr Rajendra Prasad was invited for the inauguration of #SomnathMandir.

Jawahar Lal Nehru as Prime Minister of 🇮🇳 asked him not to go to Gujarat in strong words.

#AntiHinduCongress was against the idea of Hindu revival.

2/5 Image
To, Dr Rajendra Prasad-
“I confess- I don’t like idea of your association with a spectacular opening of the #SomnathMandir. This is not merely visiting a temple, which can certainly be done by u but participating in significant function which unfortunately has implications.”

There are few who claims-
- BJP has nothing to do with #RamMandirAyodhya
- Mandir has come after Supreme Court judgment.

My take:
Those people don’t know how court functions.

REALITY:

Issue came to Supreme Court.

CJI led 5-Judge constitutional bench was formed for it.

1/5 Image
Congress’ @KapilSibal wanted Supreme Court to adjourn the matter of #RamMandirAyodhya to a later dated and not hear it.

But govt of @narendramodi took a firm stand in SC that hearing must commence & be completed as per provisions.

Also assured against any mishap in 🇮🇳

2/5 Image
As per Article 348(1) of Indian Constitution, language of Supreme Court is English.

1.5+ Lakhs docs needed for hearing of #RamMandirCase.

They were in languages including Sanskrit, Hindi, Awadhi, Pali & certain foreign languages.

Translating them to English required time.

1/5
Another Hinduphobic teacher Shweta Sharma got in stage and criticised student for greeting each-other with “Jai Shri Ram”.

Remember that this is happening during the Navratri Festival.

2/5
After huge criticism, Hinduphobic teacher came on camera.

But rather than apologising, she defended herself while threatening to take legal action against anyone questioning her.
