New Delhi: PDP leader Mehbooba Mufti displays open disdain for what she calls “curated’’ photo ops. Oops…
Normalcy acrobatics in full swing. Kashmir continues to reel under a crippling internet shutdown & political leaders remain detained. There is massive surveillance & heavy troop presence yet curated photo ops continue https://t.co/uPpRzVPi3W

Congress leader Shashi Tharoor believes that there is something driving the BJP much more than an economy in reverse gear.
Kiran you're right in principle; but that assumes the BJP cares about the economy. 6 years have taught us that vikas was just a mask for them; their real agenda was the social/cultural remaking of India. Investors fleeing India is fine for them so long as Hindu Rashtra arrives. https://t.co/2Yc85ja4Y2

Home Minister Amit Shah had challenged the Opposition to debate the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) with him – now JDU’s Prashant Kishor challenges Amit Shah to implement the controversial law.
Being dismissive of citizens’ dissent couldn’t be the sign of strength of any Govt. @amitshah Ji, if you don’t care for those protesting against #CAA_NRC, why don’t you go ahead and try implementing the CAA & NRC in the chronology that you so audaciously announced to the nation!

Mahatma Gandhi’s great-grandson Tushar Gandhi is an evergreen optimist or else a very sarcastic person – read this comment on the Supreme Court giving the Modi government four weeks to reply to the pleas against the CAA.
Thank You Supreme Court for giving us, common citizens of India 4 more weeks to make our agitation stronger & more vociferous so that it might wake up this arrogant & authoritarian Government. We will fight on for our Constitution & our Democracy. May be You will also hear us.

Looks like Congress leader and lawyer Jaiveer Shergill believes in ‘leading by example’. See why…
All 303 BJP MPs+ MLAs across States should 1st produce their father/mother birth certificate as per NPR2020 before asking 125+ Crore Indians with 65.79% population in rural India to stand in line

Just say when. https://t.co/DTMfLcqWvj

A member of the AAP’s social media team looked up BJP Delhi assembly candidate Tajinder Singh Bagga’s education qualifications… guess what he found?
BJP's candidate @TajinderBagga is a school drop-out. He is not even 12th pass.
He has mentioned that he is doing (god knows) Bachelor Preparatory Programme from IGNOU. It is a course for people who have not completed their schooling. pic.twitter.com/j6GzwT2bFz

Did the World Economic Forum just misquote climate activist Greta Thunberg?
I have never said anything like this, nor will I ever say it. It’s never too late to do as much as we can, every fraction of a degree matters. There are of course no magical “dates” for “saving the world”.
I am only quoting the SR1,5 IPCC report on remaining CO2 budgets. https://t.co/zsvcYeo5tT— Greta Thunberg (@GretaThunberg) January 21, 2020
Now we all know what US presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren’s favorite Indian food is …or do we?
.@ewarren is asked about her favorite Indian food at @vicenews' #BrownandBlack forum:
"It's like big tapioca. And you serve it with daal!" she says.
If you know what she’s referring to, feel free to chime in.

Rules of engagement according to Senate Republicans for Trump’s impeachment trial — are they serious?
House Democrats’ process was a cover-up.
Ours will be transparent.
Their process was blindly partisan.
Ours will be impartial.
Their process was rigged.
Ours will be FAIR. pic.twitter.com/kFcZmQSMfS
