Lies in this @thewire_in article will take your breath away. Article states that all Venezuelan housewives are receiving state security since 2006. An astonishing lie which has the potential to become a whatsapp forward you will keep receiving from AAPiyas and Congress IT cell Image So whats the truth? State pension for homemakers a long standing demand of Venezuelan feminists would come up during every election. Govt promised things which meant nothing on ground. Even there catchwords would be "above 60", "without contributory capacity" and "state of need" Image

As people are sharing what they were doing as a 21 year old, here is a story I would like to share. I might never have shared this but for the shameless defence of violence, insurrection and treachery, crookedly citing compassion for youthfulness. A classmate of mine was weak in studies. Would sometimes fail in all subjects. Had a tough childhood. From Std V onwards, he and his elder brother would sell ice water on cart (oldies will remember those steel carts) infront of a cinema hall for 25p per glass.

How does it matter that how many on which side died in the aftermath? What matters is who started the violence? Who orchestrated and planned it? How sick one has to be to ignore the primary motive and then keep a tab as to how many died on each side? From Bhagalpur to Mumbai, Gujarat to Muzaffarnagar and Meerut to Kokrajhar, seculars completely ignore the fact that all rioting starts only and only from one community. There get worried only when more numbers of that community get killed in retaliatory violence.

.@khanumarfa and others were defending Jamatis as orthodox but disciplined Muslims of great character who stayed away from materialism. A peek into their characters. "We will pray during Namaz for you to get corona" Jamatis in PRAYAGRAJ to doctors Jamatis in isolation ward at BALRAMPUR throw isolation rules to wind. Keep roaming all through the hospital, spitting everywhere.

Shocking! Judge grants bail to girl arrested for "posting provocative post" on condition she will distribute 5 copies of Quran.Judiciary forcing Sharia compliance? As if radicalised Islamist mobs aint enuf, judges are joining them to intimidate critics! m.timesofindia.com/city/ranchi/co… All that this girl did was respond to Islamist threat that Hindus shouldnt complain if Muslims become terrorist to avenge Tabrez Ansari. She asked why only Muslims think of becoming terrorists? Why dont Hindus, including the ethnically cleansed KPs think of becoming terrorists?

Smriti Irani takes a vow from slain Pradhan's angry son that he wont do anything wrong. "Pyar ki rajneeti" charlatan @RahulGandhi whose cadre is accused of murdering the sarpanch hasnt uttered a word of condemnation so far.Neither has #PidiMedia questioned Rahul over the killing Hello @RahulGandhi have some shame. Divangat Surendra was a village sarpanch from your former constituency. He spent almost all his life as a Gandhi loyalist. Nobody is accusing you of complicity in his murder. But by refusing to condemn the killing what signal are you sending?

Now this is poetic. Javed Akhtar took a pot shot at Savarkar by claiming Savarkar wrote a mercy petition to Britishers to escape Kala Pani. Turns out Akhtar's great grand father Moulvi Fazle Haq Khairabadi did the same. Thanks @DriverRamudu for the input archive.org/stream/MaulviF… "During his trial Maulvi Khairabadi ( @Javedakhtarjadu 's great grandfather) constantly tried a lot to prove him innocent and told to the court that he was never against the British and being charged for the remorse of another person of the same name"

Whatever little respect I had for you is lost today. You are nothing more than an apologist of Islamist terror. Anyone who thinks one man could convince lakhs to leave their ancestral homes is either a loony or a bigot and I know you are not a fool People like @shahid_siddiqui are reason this country has such deep communal divides. Even those touted as moderate Muslims go to the extent of shameless propaganda because Ummah comes first. Not on a single issue will they ever admit Muslims in the wrong
