Twitter is shadow banning/censoring tweets on China even from verified news handles. One the left is a screen grab of the original tweet. On the right is what appears for some users. ImageImage And another example of shadow banning of anti China tweets or India supportive tweets. https://t.co/YfzX07Xhp2

Disagree. (thread tweets) This is not just intel but all around failure. Do you know what a cumbersome task it is to get visas for scholars to attend international conferences? It takes weeks, months at times. cc @samirsaran But Tablighi Jamaat? No problem 250 foreigners attended this Tablighi conference. Let that sink in 250 'scholars' got visas for a conference in Delhi held by a radical organisation weeks after the city had been rocked by Hindu-Muslim riots. Who gave all these foreigners visas to come here for 'conference'

1 doctor per 11,600 Indians, 1 hospital bed per 1,826 Indians. Cant do math on how many ventilators per lakh Indians. Don’t make doctors choose who to put on ventilator, who to ‘let go’, as they had to do in Italy. Spread the word on WhatsApp groups u are on to flatten the curve And we will unfortunately get to stage where ventilators will b needed as there will be critical cases. We have to learn from experience of countries that have gone into that stage. These tweets r not for panic but to make u aware & spread information on criticality of isolation

Not in the 1st or 2nd world wars did as many people get affected with this crisis as with Corona virus. Indians have battled this global pandemic with great fortitude. But in the past few days it seems as if we are safe, but we cannot be complacent : PM Modi I am requesting, I am asking of you. I need your next few weeks. I need your time. Till today, science has not been able to give a solution to defeat coronavirus, there is no vaccine. In such a situation it is natural for everyone to be filled with anxiety (cont): PM Modi

#RepublicDay2019 These pictures of are from India's first Republic Day. India's constitution came into effect on Republic Day, January 26, 1950. We chose this day for ourselves as it was the anniversary of Purna Swaraj Day, which was held on January 26, 1930. #RepublicDay2019 Before the parade begins at Rajpath in central Delhi, the ceremony begins at Amar Jawan Jyoti in India Gate. A reversed rifle on its barrel, crested by a soldier's helmet symbolising the immortal soldier - the ceremony begins with homage to those who died for us

Lemme share an anecdote told to me by a then senior doordarshan employee, who was on duty when Sanjay Gandhi died. Cameramen were sent to major leaders to get their reactions (cont) Mostly the responses were over the top, because well IG was PM and Sanjay was heir apparent and he had died. She was sure to know who said what. Only Morarjee gave an apt response “It is a huge loss to the mother” (cont)
