In a departure from the usual formal meeting between two heads of government, Prime Minister @narendramodi and Prime Minister @kishida230 of Japan went for a stroll in Buddha Jayanti Park, New Delhi, Monday afternoon.

PM Modi and PM Kishida stopped at a gol-gappa stall which had all the trappings of Delhi’s famous pani puris — including the ‘green pani’ and ‘imli chatni’.

This what happened next.
PM Modi later said “My friend PM Fumio Kishida enjoyed the gol-gappas.”
He clearly did!
n3
Gol-gappas done, PM Modi and PM Ishida rounded off their afternoon out with chai pe charcha. The adrak wali chai was served in earthen kulhars.

That was quite an afternoon, underscoring the special relationship between #India and #Japan .

Why Congress MP Rahul Gandhi faces 'immediate disqualification' as per landmark Supreme Court judgement of 10 July 2013:
Trial court has held Rahul Gandhi guilty of criminal defamation; sentenced him to 2 years jail. SC has said this should lead to immediate disqualification.
n1
In Lily Thomas vs Union of India judgement of 10 July 2013, Supreme Court of India ruled that 'any MP, MLA or MLC who is convicted of a crime and given a minimum of 2 years' jail, loses membership of the House with immediate effect'.
n2
Supreme Court of India's 10 July 2013 judgement negates previous position which allowed convicted MPs, MLAs, MLCs to retain their seats until they had exhausted all judicial remedy in lower, state and Supreme Court of India.

'Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing in the Art and Antiquities Market' report by Financial Action Task Force, global money laundering and terrorist financing watchdog, cites case of Yes Bank CMD Rana Kapoor purchasing painting from Priyanka Gandhi at inflated price.
n1
Here is how #FATF presents ED's case on Kapoor buying painting from Priyanka Gandhi as an example of 'Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing':
"The below case, for example, takes advantage of the price volatility of some cultural objects."
n2
"This can be done with art of no or little value, together with false sales/false auction, or under/over-pricing. The case revealed that the suspect bought art of no actual value at a price of $264000 from a close associate of a corrupt politician in order to pay kickbacks."

Hello @Independent your correspondent @miss_rai1 has no clue which piece in @nytimes elicited the sharp response from I&B Minister @ianuragthakur Yet she has peddled a false report reeking of bias and you’ve published it without fact-checking.
White West media is truly shameless.
Among agenda-driven White West media @Independent outshines others in peddling fiction out of #India
This leftie paper once (in)famously reported Indian Army jawans were draping themselves in white sheets and descending on Kashmir villages at night as ‘ghosts’ to scare Kashmiris.
Such is the credibility of @Independent and its so-called journalists like @miss_rai1 who are high on fiction and low on facts. They don’t even care to across-check before filing ‘reports’; the paper doesn’t bother with fact-checking before publishing bilious bilge.

As recently as 14 Feb 2023 @Forbes was promoting #SiliconValleyBank as one of America’s “best banks”.
This is just one of innumerable examples of how White West media wilfully cuts corners with the truth and brazenly collaborates with scamsters to shield and protect them.
n1
Now compare @Forbes promoting a failing, collapsing American bank #SiliconVallyBank as one of the ‘Best American Banks”, with their report on #India economy over New Year’s weekend. Trillion became billion and world’s fastest growing big economy became an object of ridicule.
n2
The anti-India agenda, bias and bigotry of White West media is now a given. From @Forbes to @nytimes to @washingtonpost to @WSJ to @BBCWorld to @dw to @CNN to every rag and channel from White West media stables — they are the same: pervert the truth when it comes to #India.

Rahul Gandhi’s baseless claim that Opposition is silenced in India’s Parliament is to cover his own tardy performance as MP and exceptionally low participation in proceedings.
His attendance is way lower than Kerala average; way way lower than national average.
n1
There have been entire sessions of Parliament of India when Congress leader and Wayanad MP Rahul Gandhi has scored Zero Attendance.
n2
On an average, Members of Parliament of India have participated in 68 debates.
Congress leader and Wayanad MP Rahul Gandhi’s score is a pitiable 6.
