Thursday morning every newspaper of the "godi media" stable blared out loud headlines that certain Asle Toje,
Dy Leader of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, had said that Modi was a big contender for this year's Nobel Peace Prize.
And why di he say that because of what Modi had said the Russian President "that is not an era of war"

Mr.Asle Toje was asked if he had made the statement.
He said, "A fake news tweet was sent out and I think we should treat it as fake news.
It's fake.

Let's not discuss it, give it energy or oxygen.

I categorically deny that I said anything resembling what was in that tweet."
Now, none of those media houses that "splashed" with a cheer that their Modi was about to be awarded a Nobel Peace Prize now lack the guts to carry the story that it was fake.
None of them has the courage to say that whatever they published in the morning edition was nothing but a piece of fake news, true to Modi's legacy of everything false and fake.

Balesh Dhankhar of Indian origin was accused of raping 5 Korean women in Sydney - 5 Korean women were allegedly drugged and raped by Balesh, a prominent member of the Indian community in Sydney after he lured them with a phony job post.
He operated according to a “very specific modus operandi” in which he would entice the women to the Sydney Hilton Hotel bar near his flat, spike their drinks with Rohypnol or other sleeping pills, and then rape them there.
Using a covert camera he purchased on eBay, he also recorded himself raping these women.

Balesh Dhankar was prominent in organizing the Sydney reception of Prime Minister Modi when the PM visited Australia in 2014.

In the morning, I went to Parliament and spoke with the Speaker (Lok Sabha) that I want to speak.
Four ministers of the govt had put allegations against me so I have a right to keep my views in the house.
I'm hopeful that I will be allowed to Speak in Parliament tomorrow. Image
A few days ago, I gave a speech in the house raising questions on Modiji & Adaniji, that speech was expunged. There wasn't anything in the speech that I didn't take out from public records.

The Govt and PM are scared of the Adani issue & that's why they prepared this 'tamasha'.
I feel I won't be allowed to speak in Parliament.
The main question is what's the relation between Modiji & Adaniji.

As the allegations have been made in Parliament, it is my democratic right to have the opportunity to speak.

Latest from Adani's train wreck

The last 3 days have been the "up" part of the roller coaster for Adani, because of GQG Fund management that bought nearly $2b worth of Adani stock in a "block trade".
What's a "block trade"? It's a negotiated off-market deal between a large buyer and a seller. And it's perfectly legal.
The buyer in this case was GQG, a $90b AUM (assets under management) fund based out of Florida and run by Rajiv Jain.
So he has literally bet 5% of his EM portfolio into Adani
The seller is Adani Family Trust.
GQG bought shares in four Adani firms at discounts ranging from 4.2%-12.2% to Thursday’s closing price, according to a statement from the Indian conglomerate and exchange filings.
