Hitting out at the BJP, Nationalist Congress Party chief @PawarSpeaks accused it of creating a "poisonous atmosphere" in the country by spreading "false propaganda" about the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the valley through #TheKashmirFiles.

@PawarSpeaks "Such a film should not have been cleared for screening. But it is given tax concessions and those responsible for keeping the country united are encouraging people to watch the film that stokes anger among people," Pawar said.
thewire.in/politics/shara…
@PawarSpeaks "Pakistan-based terror groups were responsible for the attacks on Kashmiri Pandits and Muslims," he added.
thewire.in/politics/shara…
@PawarSpeaks The former Union minister said if the Narendra Modi government really cares about Kashmiri Pandits, it should make every effort for their rehabilitation and not stoke anger in their mind about minorities.
thewire.in/politics/shara…
@PawarSpeaks The NCP chief also hit out at the BJP for dragging Jawaharlal Nehru, the first prime minister of the country, into the debate, while pointing out that the Kashmiri Pandits had to leave the valley when Vishwanath Pratap Singh was the PM.
thewire.in/politics/shara…
@PawarSpeaks "The V.P. Singh government was backed by the BJP. Mufti Mohammad Sayeed was the home minister and Jagmohan, who later contested the Lok Sabha polls from Delhi as a BJP candidate, was the governor of Jammu and Kashmir," he said.
thewire.in/politics/shara…
@PawarSpeaks Pawar said the then Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Farooq Abdullah had quit following differences with Jagmohan and it was the governor who facilitated the departure of Kashmiri Pandits from the valley.

@PawarSpeaks He also slammed the BJP for targeting Delhi chief minister @ArvindKejriwal over his remarks on #TheKashmirFiles.
thewire.in/politics/shara…
@PawarSpeaks @ArvindKejriwal "Political agitations are welcome, but Kejriwal was criticised for speaking up for minorities. The BJP is taking the country on a different path. It is destroying the unity of the country," Pawar said.

The age of inflation is upon us. | Kaushal Shroff
#RussiaUkraineConflict
thewire.in/energy/a-perfe…
Fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), consumer durables, cars, two-wheelers, fuel, fertilisers, steel, nickel, semi-conductors and many other finished products as well as raw materials have witnessed a steep price hike in the last few months.
thewire.in/energy/a-perfe…
Another weighty addition to the painfully long list of inflated commodities – one that will further erode the common man's earnings in the form of second-round effects – is coal.

Hours after @narendramodi acted to oust Alok Verma from his post as head of CBI at midnight on October 23, 2018, an unidentified Indian agency known to be a user of #Pegasus made a note of 3 telephone numbers registered in his name. | @svaradarajan
#Replug

@narendramodi @svaradarajan The blow the Modi govt gave that night was accompanied by a second sucker punch: someone with the keys to India's hush-hush spyware deployment system received authorisation to add Verma's numbers to a list of persons of interest selected for surveillance.

@narendramodi @svaradarajan .@thewire_in investigated several hundred India numbers from a leaked database comprising 50,000 numbers believed to be linked to probable targets of #Pegasus.

3 years after he was removed as director of CBI by a High Powered Committee (HPC) headed by @narendramodi, Alok Kumar Verma is still struggling to obtain information through the RTI Act, pertaining to the corruption cases filed against him. | @gaurav5173
thewire.in/rights/alok-ve…
@narendramodi @gaurav5173 Verma's case is yet another example of how officers who run foul of the government find it tough to get justice or even information through various institutions.
thewire.in/rights/alok-ve…
@narendramodi @gaurav5173 Two applications filed by him with the Central Information Commission (CIC) have revealed how after his career was brought to an abrupt end, the government forfeited his entire past service.

As I approached the venue of the Expo 2020 Dubai, the intricately woven, carbon-fibre latticed entrance gate, created by the London-based Asif Khan Studio, took my breath away, writes R. Nagesh.
#DubaiExpo2020
thewire.in/government/ind…
The Japan pavilion facade, which made one think joyously of origami art, was an exquisite demonstration of the theme of connecting minds – its distinct three-dimensional lattice work sought to combine traditional Japanese and Arab patterns.
thewire.in/government/ind…
I was eager to visit the India pavilion. As far back as the 1960s India had made a name for itself at the Montreal, Sao Paulo, New York and Osaka world fairs by setting up remarkable pavilions with cutting edge architecture and design.

Pakistan summoned a senior US diplomat and lodged a strong protest over America's alleged "interference" in its internal affairs, according to media reports on Friday.

In a live address to the nation, @ImranKhanPTI discussed a 'threat letter' and termed it as part of a foreign conspiracy to remove him as he was not acceptable for following an independent foreign policy.
thewire.in/south-asia/pak…
@ImranKhanPTI He named US as the country behind the threat letter in what appeared to be a slip of tongue.

"Hold your tongue, I have your entire janampatri," Prime Minister @narendramodi had warned the Congress in a 2017 election rally, using a Hindi word that refers to both a person's horoscope and to his past. | P. Raman
thewire.in/law/modis-raid…
@narendramodi Modi's blunt threat came during the assembly elections in February 2017, months before his Israel visit which reportedly led to India acquiring the spyware Pegasus.
#Pegasus
thewire.in/law/modis-raid…
@narendramodi Modi gave top priority to setting up an effective surveillance system to tire out his political rivals. The word 'janampatri' is an accurate euphemism for this system.
