What PM Narendra Modi actually said...

"Speaking at Bellary, PM Modi said, “The movie ‘The Kerala story’ is trying to expose the consequences of terrorism in a society, especially in a state like Kerala which is beautiful land of hardworking,

talented and intellectual people.

The Congress party is now trying to ban the film and support the terror elements.

It only knows to ban things and completely ignore development.

The party even has a problem with me chanting ‘Jai Bajarang Bali’ “
"He also lauded the film and told that it tried to expose the new form of terrorism in the society.

“Terrorism has taken a new form now. Apart from using weapons and bombs, they are working towards making the society hollow from inside out."
"The Kerala Story' movie has exposed this new face of terrorism.

The Congress has kneeled down before the terror outfits when in power.

We have suffered because of the violence for very long and the Congress never protected this country from terrorism"
How is Narendra Modi "turning Bollywood against Muslims" with his remarks as alleged by The Economist?

His principal lament was against Congress seeking ban of a film on ISIS terror.

The Economist allegation against Prime Minister Modi is "defamatory"
& violative of Clause 1 of the Editor's Code of practice of IPSO, UK.

#WhatShouldWeDo
Until India becomes a developed nation in 2047 there will be something or the other for a Rahul Gandhi or Atishi Marlena to criticise. No matter what, they themselves or their parties have achieved.

So what should be our attitude?
opindia.com/2023/06/atishi…
1. Openly accept criticisms which are true.
Explain the context & what is being done to tackle them?

2. Explain the facts, to the institutions, groups, nations concerned, if falsehoods are being cited by our own people.
3. If the tone of these criticisms abroad is not to contribute to understanding & improvement, but to denigrate the Govt. before audiences, who have no context except what these people provide - then let the public show their displeasure
a) By denying them votes .

#ToxicChina
Instead of expanding & proudly claiming to be from China, #XiJinping regime has made #China, one of the most toxic brands in history. Even Chinese companies are severing all connections with #China.

"As relations between the United States and China turn increasingly rocky, some of China’s most entrepreneurial brands have taken steps to distance themselves from their home country."
"Beijing has detained and harassed top tech executives, and foreign consulting firms.

And its draconian lockdowns during the pandemic made clear to businesses that they operate in China at the mercy of the government"

What @mkstalin said about @senthilbalaji when he was in the @AIADMKOfficial

• There is a Minister from this District (Karur) Senthil Balaji

• There is no need to talk about him.

• When the Cabinet was re-shuffled 15 times
• He alone will not be changed
• He had so much prominence in the Cabinet.

• Senior Ministers portfolios were shuffled when the Cabinet was re-shuffled 15 times but this junior Minister was not changed.

• When Amma (Smt.Jslayalalitha) was sent to jail
• he was also in the list of probables for the post of CM

• Not only Senthil Balaji, even his brother is controlling the entire District of Karur.

• Control by means of corruption, collection and looting.

#FourThreeTwo
From Quad to AUKUS to INDUS ...India and US are inching closer, in a more realistic, slow-paced but durable long-term embrace. indianarrative.com/opinion-news/p…
@KanwalSibal gives a very concise picture of the coming event which signifies a turning point in history.

The quiet surface excitement, masks the rumbles of a massive subterranean change taking place in world geopolitics.
This Biden-Modi meeting to my mind, kind of seals the twin failures of Chinese foreign policy.

* A significant break in the American relationship which marked it's rise over the last 40+ years.

* It's bumbling inability to prevent the coming together of an

#GameChangingUSVisit
@narendramodi's visit to USA is clearly expected to be a game-changer!

Somewhere along the way, the CCP leadership miscalculated the willingness of India to forgive and sacrifice, and believed that the overall relationship with India could be kept within limits safe for the Chinese side even while Beijing
ceaselessly damaged Indian interests domestically and externally.

Indian TV should be contributing to:

a) Clean entertainment

b) News to help us know factually what's going on in the world.

c) Sensible debates to help unravel the nitty-gritty of policies, events etc national & international
d) Anything which unites us all in productive, innovative action.

What we have instead is an addictive daily political & communal slugfest with shrill anchors contributing to a digital blood sport.

It does nothing:

* To unite India

* To reform our society or religions
* Teach our children to debate or even normal good behaviour

* Teach science/ innovation to prepare us for fast transforming tech world.

* To enthuse us all to strive for development goals.

* There are 100's of exciting & profitable programs which can be done.
