1. The BJP is not against #ValentinesDay, at least not officially. But almost all the people in India who oppose the day of love will also be found to be supporters of or associated with BJP. Is there a relation? Obviously! For people whose only calling in life is spread of hate
2. coming to terms with love cannot come easy
Love demolishes all boundaries, but when one's favourite pastime is to discover Jihad even in Love, any day will just be a doom's day. Hatred guides the cadre of Bajrang Dal, Sri Ram Sena, Karni Sena, some of the vigilante groups one
3. can associate with trouble making on V-day. Most of them are affiliated to Sangh. Why so much hate guys?
What are their problems with V-day?
a. Western culture
b. Love Jihad
c. Against Hindu culture
d. Women cannot express love in public
e. Vulgar display
f. commoditisation
4. It's dangerous to call BS as BS. But then even if you've some BS problems with people celebrating & expressing love, the way to protest is not by harassing couples in public. With BJP gov in most states, you'll generally see a muted police against hooligans from Bajrang Dal
5. We're creating our own army of anti-love Talibanis. & they're voters of BJP
Nationalism matters to you. So does religion. But should you also not stand up against public harassment of consenting adults? Is dragging women by hair & publicly flogging men a part of Hindu Sanskar?
6. Then why are you silent on such crimes? Why do you not raise objection to your BJP representatives, MLAs or MPs?
Mughal-e-Azam made 1960s India swoon to 'Jab Pyaar kiya to Darna kya'. Why not in 2023? A vitriolic debate over a corporate conman is politics. Acceptable. But
7. stopping the young & the old to express in open their love is not what an opinionated nation should be indulging in
All the 'pyaar ke dushmans' on road are sidekicks of BJP MPs & MLAs. You know who to TELL to put an end to this nonsense. Let not a Sanghi spoil you day of Love
8. Adding this tweet as the reminder to what you’ve voted yourself into India! About time, you stop kissing the cobra. Because only if you can celebrate love without malice, can you live without anguish

1. BJP has United India like never before. Correction, BJP has once again United India with same fervour as was witnessed during India’s National Movement for Independence against colonial regime. The similarity in both cases, BJP (& erstwhile Hindu Mahasabha) was against INDIA!
2. The stage at Ramlila Ground at Delhi did not just bring leaders representing various political parties. It was the voice for India’s rich diversity of hope, aspirations, cultures & ideologies. It was coming together of India again & against a tyrant suppressing democracy.
3. BJPs tyranny against India is absolute. Politically, it desires to end all political opposition in India marking an end of democracy. A strong opp keeps the gov in check. With no opposition, people relinquish their power over gov & that’s the ultimate aim of Modi Sarkar.
1. The fear that BJP has whenever #RahulGandhi walks on the streets! Law Minister of India attempts to slander RG by talking about “generally”. Generally, the government governs rather than become the PR Executive to the PM. & the drama that Rimini refers to is actually the PC by
2. Sambit Patra where he asks 4 Questions to #RahulGandhi taking 16:30 min of repetition of “jale mein ghee & kate par namak.” Mind you, this chap is the national spokesperson of the BJP. Of the 4Qs, 2 are about OBC insult. Any person in their sanity will never believe that Rahul
3. had insulted the OBC community. Neither the content of his speech nor any of his past actions make him fall into that category. Because the judgement is faulty, has the Congress appealed & Rahul never apologised. The maximum sentence was not just excessive but also with the
That’s the biggest concern the PM has when he meets officers from the Armed Forces! @SupriyaShrinate you hammered the beetle 🌰 back in his mouth by showing him all the instances of failure of RajDharma under him
2. What is the obsession of the PM with his image? & why should India suffer if the image of the PM crumbles under the heaviness of his inflated ego? Do not we deserve better? Do not we deserve answers?
Answers? We never get. Because the media is way too scared to question the PM
3. Because instead of listening to the voices of the opposition, media indulges in slander which is worse than even the BJP trolls.
Who suffers? YOU! In the last 9yrs, if you don’t recollect times when media questioned any move of the gov, there are reasons for you to worry.
1. #BharatJodoYatra imparted the Congress with an important lesson - that of “triumph of love over hate.” Nafrat ke Bazaar mein Mohabbat ki Dukaan was the single most important takeaway for everyone in the Congress & the opposition. It worked. & it should have continued. How?
2. Rahul Gandhi should have led a Ram Navami procession in Amethi. & so should’ve Congress leaders & cadres across the length & breath of India. It has a symbolic connection to the Exile. Congress led Ram Navami processions would’ve signified the victory of love over hate.
3. The last few days, my twitter timeline was abuzz with all the hatred in the name of Ram. My liberal & fiercely secular friends were posting imagery of hate speeches & vandalism that accompanied the ‘celebrations’. The anguish was justified. But it was hate against hate.
देखिए ना
कहाँ खो गया विकास
खो गया या सो गया
छोड़ दे जो बुझ गया
छोड़ दे वो आश
ढूँढते हैं
चक्षु मेरे
नौकरी छुप रही यहाँ
छुप रही या चुप रही
कोई तो पूछो कहाँ
2.
कीर्तन थे जो
आज गर्ज़न बन पड़े
ख़ुशियों के चौराहों पड़
क्यों आग बारूद चल पड़े
डूबता है देश मेरा
सूर्यास्त प्रेम का हो रहा
जल रहा मकान तेरा
मानुष हृदय सो रहा
3.
भूल की जो
भुजंग की माला
हमने ली पहन
मन में लेके क्रोधशाला
चैन त्रास उजड़ा चमन
खून क्यों खौलता मेरा
जब आते होली और दशहरा
रंगों को बांध बेड़े
रंगहीन क्यों नयन मेरे
कभी गुजिया कभी शेवैया
खाते थे जो कभी
गालियों का बेराग भैया
उस मुख से निकलती है अभी
1. India has become a Fool’s Paradise
Those who “dare” to speak the truth are persecuted & mocked upon. Those who spread propaganda laced with falsehood & lies live through a govt sponsored programme of Rewards & Recognition.
In the studios of news channels, each day is a sorry
2. demise of journalism. Stories of state oppression, big corporate cons, farmers’ protest marchs, criminal mismanagement of pandemic are blacked out. Not one ‘journalist’ has the courage to ask the govt for facts & question its actions.
What you instead see are Hate Stories &
3. only Hate Stories.
A fool’s paradise is a living hell. It’s a place where if the gov says, there is no lack of water, LPG, electricity, jobs, you better believe it & put up a beaming face for the photo-op. ‘Coz your voice if heard will be bulldozed through either the media or
