New Delhi: This hard-hitting question for the Supreme Court by detained PDP leader Mehbooba Mufti – via her daughter Iltija – really deserves an answer from the wise men on the bench.
Glad that activists were able to stop felling of trees at Aarey. One wonders why Kashmiris have been deprived of the very same right to free speech & expression. GOI claims they are now at par with other Indians but truth is they’ve been stripped of even fundamental rights.

The Junior Thackeray’s prayer for justice to prevail in the ‘ecosystem’ of Aarey, Mumbai is ironic, to say the least. Isn’t his party, Shiv Sena, in the coalition government of Maharashtra?
May truth and justice prevail for the ecosystem of Aarey! https://t.co/9ApPpGckJH

BJP leader, Atif Rasheed’s attack on American columnist CJ Werleman after he claimed hate crimes against Muslims had increased 786% under Prime Minister Modi is notable for its use of hard-hitting adjectives…
Some “narrow-minded & intolerant” people like you @cjwerleman and some individuals & organisations have vested interest to malign India’s image and such so-called surveys and study are “ill-minded, biased, fake, fabricated and fudged”. https://t.co/KQ6fOjjrM8

Lt. Governor of Puducherry, Kiran Bedi’s idea that marriage rituals should have wife and man walk ‘hand-in-hand’ maybe apply to political parties too. Right, ma’am?
Attended a wedding of a frd.
Bride still follows d groom holding the veil given by the groom.
He leads with d veil on his shoulder and looks ahead while d bride looks down coyly.
Can we not walk hand in hand & look ahead together?

Shama Mohamed, Congress, has a word of advice for BJP coalition partners. Have you equally sage advice for Congress, ma’am?
BJP leaders out to corner @NitishKumar over waterlogging crisis, say sources
Even though BJP is also in power in Bihar, it wants to make a scapegoat of JDU
This is a lesson for all NDA parties. BJP can throw them under the bus in the blink of an eye!https://t.co/EC5zbZs3Yx

Congress jumped to Rahul Gandhi’s defence over his decision to go abroad for Vipassana. Maybe they’re secretly relieved that he’s not campaigning in Maharashtra and Haryana?
Only biased media would be awed by a photo-op in a Kedarnath cave but take offence when a person goes privately on a spiritual journey. #vipassana Om Mane PadMe Hum.

Why is media so obsessed with @RahulGandhi? Just because you want to divert people’s attention from Modi’s failures, how much will you hound a man who has shown spine in victory & defeat? He is neither general secretary nor party president and is free to travel whenever, wherever

From sarees to hugs, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Sharmistha Mukherjee (Congress) were all dewy-eyed and saccharine sweet after meeting Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
An overdue hug from Sheikh Hasina Ji whom I have been waiting to meet again for a long time. Her strength in overcoming deep personal loss and hardship and fighting for what she believed in with bravery and perseverance is, and always will be a great inspiration for me. pic.twitter.com/ZjRBKl6YZU

And Congress leader Jaiveer Shergill takes pleasure in an old magazine cover featuring a winsome looking boy, 32 years ago. Those were the days, my friend…

However, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari is far less happy with a recent Telegraph report. Does he protest too much?
