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

It was a wonderful meeting with Finance Minister @nsitharaman ji.

We had a very fruitful discussion on multiple socio-political issues.

I’m touched by her clarity of thought and listen-to-all attitude.

My fav ministers under @narendramodi government:

@KirenRijiju: Absolutely in awe with him. He is unconventional leader with pro-active approach.

Having held various positions, his solution orientated initiatives, down to earth approach & mainstreaming North East is amazing

+
@AmitShah:Article 370 & 35A gone under his tenure as Home Minister. Dual citizenship in J&K gone under him.

From 🇮🇳 at Lal Chowk to Kashmiri raising 🇮🇳 at international forums are because of him.

This issue had played a very large impact:
locally, nationally and globally

+
@nitin_gadkari: The most basic need of any nation are proper roads.

India always faced the issue of road connectivity.

We had faced the issue of bad roads in places with roads.

His efforts have actually connected Kashmir to Kanyakumari,
Kutch to Cuttack,
North East,
And 🇮🇳

Everyone wants #CBIForPalgharLynching

Many people in good faith have suggested me to get an FIR registered in Uttar Pradesh as family of deseased lives in UP & then persuade UP govt to recommend #CBIForPalghar on the line of #SSRDeathCase

This thread on why I'm not doing it.
Few have suggested me to get an FIR registered in Uttar Pradesh as sadhus belonged to Dashami Akhada, thus an FIR could be lodged there. Also the family members of deceased lives in Uttar Pradesh.

Moreover, @myogiadityanath ji is a strict administrator. So it could be helpful.
This theory is mostly based on the #SSRDeathCase.
After the FIR was lodged in Bihar by the family of @itsSSR against #RheaChakraborthy due to them living in Bihar, @NitishKumar referred #CBIForSSR to @HMOIndia due to hurdles created by Maharashtra in the case.
