An explosion near a Kabul school killed at least 30 people and many of the victims were female students.
tolonews.com/afghanistan-17… Students in Kabul donate blood for those injured in the school blast (most victims were school going girls and those images are too graphic to post here).

"MEA never sleeps." ?
EAM Jaishankar could have avoided getting into this.
Should have... in fact. I hope @NZinIndia deleted the tweet because their SOS was addressed and not because they made someone look bad.

Fauci says the US will try to help India deal with its record-breaking Covid surge. "It is a dire situation that we're trying to help in any way we can."

“We have a long standing commitment to India’s public health,” adds a White House rep.

Seems like there’s still some confusion about this. Covishield production not impacted by US exports restrictions. That’s for Covovax.

18 Indian Army soldiers died in an ambush by an outlawed group 5 years ago. This group had received supplies and support from a neighbouring country, and at least some of its leaders are known to be sheltered in this same country.

Guess the country.

(1/n) It’s China.
In June 2015, soldiers of 6 Dogra Regt died in an ambush in Manipur’s Chandel district.
Army’s SF responded by conducted raids on militant camps in Myanmar. The opening scene of Vicky Kaushal’s Uri depicts a cinematic version of that ops, but I digress.

‘Guns are being brandished in the national capital, Rahul Gandhi and Arvind Kejriwal are supporting it.’
For a good half and hour or more @republic TV and their reporter @aishkapoor passed off the shooter as the ‘real face of anti-CAA’ protests. “How much violence do we have to watch and how much inconvenience do people need to keep facing.”
@republic TV anchor portraying the shooter as an anti-CAA protester seeking attention.

"Vajpayee’s statesmanship sustained an ecosystem in which everything 'anti-Indian' passed off as 'Jamhooriyat' (democracy)." - @ahmedalifayyaz "New Delhi shut its eyes not only to the unending flow of funds from overseas, but also to Islamabad’s largesse of MBBS seats every year to each of the separatist leaders in Pakistan’s medical colleges." - @ahmedalifayyaz

Brig Devinder Singh is a hero who was wronged.
Misrepresentation of his battle performance cost him a war medal and possibly led to his being passed over for promotion as Major-General. May have even missed a shot at becoming army chief because of internal politics. (Thread) The Armed Forces Tribunal upheld claims that top commanders (including then GOC 15 Corps, Lt Gen Pal) falsified accounts of battles in the Batalik sector, where Brig Devinder Singh was operating and in command. Here's my report from May 2010 when the order was made public.
