Thread.
It was stupid of Congress to think its terrible record of handling issues pertaining to North-East would not be recalled during Opposition’s #NoConfidenceMotion against Modi Government.
Unless, of course, Rahul Gandhi, Mamata Banerjee, et al were blissfully ignorant.
n1 For example, PM @narendramodi , in his reply to the #NoConfidenceMotion mentioned how Indira Gandhi had ordered IAF to strafe and bomb Mizo villages in undivided Assam in March 1966. The ostensible reason was to put down a Mizo ‘rebellion’. That was only a quarter story.
n2

The #India Infra story as it has unfolded ever since Prime Minister @narendramodi came to office is well known. As is his determination to make connectivity the cornerstone of development.
What is less known is the emphasis to factor in wildlife while planning infra.
A thread:
n1 PM Modi will be in #Chhattisgarh on 7 July to lay the foundation stone for 3 National Highway projects for Chhattisgarh Section of 6-lane greenfield Raipur - Visakhapatnam corridor.
This includes a tunnel, 27 animal passes and 17 monkey canopies in Udanti Wildlife Sanctuary.

On @IndianExpress story about NCERT textbooks, Dinesh Prasad Saklani, Director of NCERT, has said today:
“It's a lie. (Chapters on) Mughals have not been dropped. There was a rationalisation process last year because due to COVID, there was pressure on students everywhere...”

“Expert committees examined the books from std 6-12. They recommended that if this chapter is dropped, it won't affect the knowledge of the children and an unnecessary burden can be removed...”
~ Dinesh Prasad Saklani, Director of NCERT.

Shauchalay ki Story in 4 takes:
In 2014 PM @narendramodi initiated his #SwachhBharat programme, transforming rural life in #India like never before. Individual household toilets have ensured hygiene and dignity. More than 11 crore toilets have been built. Work continues.
n1 In 2013 CM Modi raised the issue of how rural India has cellphones but lacks shauchalayas (toilets).
I recall Congress worthies mocking him — ‘Modi has only toilets to offer’.
It was lost on them that 6 decades after independence, our villages were not open defecation free.
n2

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

*Dedicate and lay foundation stone of various development projects worth more than Rs 1780 crore.
n1 PM Modi will address the One World TB Summit at Rudrakash Convention Centre, #Varanasi, at 10:30 am, 24 March — World Tuberculosis Day.
The summit is being organised by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and Stop TB Partnership. Founded in 2001, the Stop TB Partnership.

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.
n1 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’.

'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."

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.

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

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

Important
On account of Pakistan’s intransigence,
India has issued notice to Pakistan for modification of the Indus Waters Treaty of September 1960. Notice was conveyed on January 25 through respective Commissioners for Indus Waters. This is as per Article XII (3) of IWT.
n1 India has been a steadfast supporter and a responsible partner in implementing IWT in letter and spirit. But Pakistan’s actions have adversely impinged on the provisions of IWT and their implementation, and forced India to issue an appropriate notice for modification of IWT.

Takeaways from @WorldBank 's
'India Development Update: Navigating the Storm' (06.11.22):
World Bank has revised its India GDP forecast for from 6.5% to 6.9% in 2022-23.
"The Indian economy has been remarkably resilient to the deteriorating external environment."~ WB report.
n1 "The persistent headwinds from the global economy are expected to weigh on growth forecasts. Growth in first half of FY22/23 was supported by solid domestic demand and despite a challenging external environment the exports performed better than expected." ~ WB report.

This gulab jamun syrupy-sweet report in @nytimes makes 3 points:
Multiparty democracy in India is threatened because voters have rejected Nehru-Gandhi dynasty;
Congress is entitled to win elections;
Media freedom is curbed because Modi Govt does not splurge money on media.
n1 The @nytimes reporter makes extraordinary effort NOT to mention 3 points:
Massive corruption on Congress’s watch demolished party’s credibility;
Rahul and Sonia Gandhi face huge corruption charges and are out on bail;
New India has rapidly shrinking space for dynasty politics.

Nehru’s disastrous Freight Equalisation Policy which killed industry in east without creating industry elsewhere was in keeping with his deep-seated hate towards Bengalis.
Don’t forget he wanted Hindu Bengali refugees to be sent back and labelled them ‘Permanent Liability’.
n1

https://twitter.com/abhishbanerj/status/1597612808317042689

One of the first executive decisions Nehru took after Partition was to drastically cut West Bengal’s share of funds to ensure Bengal did not have resources to help Hindu Bengali refugees from East Pakistan.
He went on to claim Hindu Bengalis were coming for ‘free food’.
n2

Thread on @IndiaToday 's concern for 'democracy' and ease with which its star journalists mouth cliches like 'authoritarian regime' to show down Modi Govt and paint #India in bleakest colours.
Same India Today justified Emergency and endorsed suspension of Rights.
Archives:
n1 "It seemed incredible that our (India's) people should accept and welcome (Emergency) ... what Western commentators had chosen to describe variously, ranging from "temporary demise of democracy" to the "establishment of dictatorship."

Currency in circulation में बढ़ोतरी भ्रामक है और वास्तविकता से दूर है। इसे Currency-to-GDP ratio के संदर्भ में देखा जाना चाहिए, और Demonetisation के बाद Currency-to-GDP ratio में कमी आई है। (1/n)

Demonetisation के बाद नए भारत के डिजिटल आंदोलन को तेज़ी मिली जिस कारण भारत कोविड-19 महामारी का सामना कर पाया। क्योंकि हमारे पास Faceless transactions के लिए आवश्यक उपकरण मौजूद थे, इसलिए Contact-less transactions करना बहुत आसान हो पाया। (2/n)

Along with the concocted Meta stories, @thewire_in has also taken down its bogus 'Tek Fog' stories based on forged documents.
@andymukherjee70 wrote an entire piece based on the fake 'Tek Fog' stories and Bloomberg @business ran it.
@rpollard was the editor responsible for it.
n1 Not the first hate Modi Govt screed by Bloomberg @business . But what this piece exposes is the business model of #FakeNews manufacturers and malicious #Disinformation peddlers especially on @rpollard 's watch.
@thewire_in manufactures, outlets like Bloomberg retail.
