PM Narendra Modi recently made a remark about Katchatheevu Island being handed over to Sri Lanka by Indira Gandhi Govt.

Here is a #thread 🧵 on how the Island was a part of India and Congress gave it to Sri Lanka. (1/9)

Katchatheevu stands as a small, uninhabited island situated within the Palk Strait, serving as a link between the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea.

The Island was traditionally shared by fishermen from both countries. (2/9)

In 1921, both Sri Lanka and India claimed this piece of land for fishing and the dispute remained unsettled.

The 285-acre land was jointly administered by India and Sri Lanka during British rule.

But in 1974, the Indira Gandhi govt handed over the island to Sri Lanka. (3/9)

The Indo-Sri Lankan Maritime Agreement under Indira Gandhi's leadership handed over Katchatheevu Island to Sri Lanka, triggering disputes.

The Congress's role in this decision raises questions about safeguarding India's interests and sovereignty. (4/9)

During the LTTE era, Sri Lanka curtailed the movement of its own fishermen due to military concerns.

In 2009, heightened maritime security measures were introduced in the Palk Strait to prevent the re-entry of Tamil insurgents. (5/9)

This shift led to unintended opportunities for Indian fishermen. However, as the conflict ended in 2010, Sri Lankan fishermen regained their movement in the Palk Bay.

A complex interplay of security, insurgency, and territorial rights unfolded in this maritime domain. (6/9)

A 1991 resolution in Tamil Nadu Assembly and subsequent legal battles underscore the persistent efforts to reclaim Katchatheevu Island. (7/9)

In 2008, the former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Jayalalithaa, took the matter to the Supreme Court, urging the annulment of Katchatheevu agreements.

Citing unconstitutionality, she contested the validity of the treaties that relinquished Katchatheevu to Sri Lanka. (8/9)

Congress's decisions continue to be a topic of debate with numerous incidents highlighting the party compromising sovereignty of India.

PM Modi rightly slammed Congress when he said, “Wasn’t that part of Maa Bharati there?” (9/9)

Rahul Gandhi is desperate to discuss an unpublished book.

But as MP Nishikant Dubey said in the House today,

Rahul Gandhi should also discuss the books that are already published.

Like these books, exposing the policy blunders of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty #Thread

This book is a compilation of Congress’s historical blunders, including Kashmir, handling of China, & economy.

This book exposed the "gigantic mess" that Indira Gandhi & Congress made in Punjab, leading to Operation Blue Star

3. Mrs. Gandhi’s Second Reign by Arun Shourie

A detailed documentation of the decline of institutions under Indira Gandhi.

It explains how the Congress party transitioned into a one-woman show, where loyalty to the Gandhi family mattered more than national interest.

1/ The opposition has recently started attacking the Governors of their states.

They say the Governor is not reading the speech handed to them in the Assembly.

Let us understand how things work. #Thread

2/ In the state Assembly, the state govt gives the Governor a speech to read.

It has been a tradition that the speech consists of welfare work done by the state govt for the people.

Every government, irrespective of party or ideology, has followed this.

3/ But recently, the opposition has started giving Governors speeches that directly attack the central government.

Over the years, no CM or state government has ever done this.

1/ Today is 23rd January, the day we remember one of the greatest sons of Bharat Mata, Subhas Chandra Bose Ji, on his birth anniversary. Don't miss this #Thread.

While remembering him, we must also not forget how he was systematically targeted by Nehru.

Nehru's actions against Netaji show a long pattern of hostility, jealousy, and hatred that continued even after Netaji's reported death.

2/In 1939, after Bose defeated Nehru-backed candidate Pattabhi Sitaramayya and was re-elected Congress President, Nehru openly orchestrated the mass resignation of 12 Congress Working Committee members.

This was done to paralyse Bose and force him out.

3/Bose later wrote to his nephew Amiya Nath Bose, that no one had HARMED him more than Nehru.

He accused Nehru of using Congress machinery & ministries to work against him. Soon after, Bose was stripped of power, pushed out of Congress, and politically isolated.

#Thread Our Somnath Mandir is about to complete 1000 years since it was first attacked & desecrated by Mahmud Ghazni.

It was rebuilt through the struggles & sacrifices of our forefathers, but not without facing strong opposition from the “visionary” Nehru, who opposed the reconstruction with all his might.

Read what Nehru wrote in his letters to oppose the reconstruction-

1- Letter to Liaquat Ali Khan (PM of Pakistan), 21 April 1951

Nehru wrote to Liaquat Ali Khan, addressed him as “Dear Nawabzada” and downplayed the Somnath reconstruction.

He said the Somnath narrative was “completely false” and reassured Pakistan instead of defending India.

2- Letter to R. R. Diwaker (Minister of Information & Broadcasting), 28 April 1951

Nehru asked him to reduce the media coverage of the consecration ceremony. He called the ceremony “pompous” and said it was harming India’s image in the world.

Throughout 2025, Congress IT cell and its ecosystem tried their best to project Rahul Gandhi as jan-nayak.

But in reality, he is nothing more than a spoiled brat full of arrogance.

Here is a thread exposing his arrogance:

1- During his roadshow, Rahul’s car ran over a policeman.

He did not step out. He did not care.

2- Rahul Gandhi was caught on camera pushing away his own Congress karyakarta.

Imagine being a karyakarta, working on the ground 24x7 for a party despite not winning any elections, and still being treated like this by the nepo crown prince of the party.

3- He did not even have the courtesy to bow in respect after the national anthem, while every other leader did so.

What has he achieved to be this arrogant, when even senior leaders like PM Modi, Draupadi Murmu ji, & even his own party prez Kharge folded their hands in respect?
