New Delhi: Aroon Purie, Chairman India Today Group, spotted a rather unusual neon billboard in New York’s Times Square: “Stand with Kashmir”, it read. The square has some of the most expensive advertisements in the world, which got Poorie thinking about who could afford this one…
Believe it or not, this is on Times Square, New York. Wonder who's paying for it. Can't be cheap ! #Kashmir pic.twitter.com/re4vcyGojF

Giriraj Singh, Union Minister of Animal Husbandry, says he will not retire till he has ensured the retirement of ‘some others.’ Wonder who he is talking about.

Digvijaya Singh, Congress, raises an important point about the lynchings of the two young boys in Madhya Pradesh.
मोदी जी अमेरिका में स्वच्छ भारत को जनआंदोलन बता रहे हैं। यहाँ गुंडे ‘भगवान का आदेश’ बताकर बच्चों की जान ले रहे हैं। स्वच्छता की मुहिम स्वेच्छाचारिता में बदल गई है! दो बच्चों के हत्या के बाद आरोपी बोला- मुझे भगवान का आदेश हुआ है, धरती से राक्षसों का सर्वनाश कर दो via @PatrikaNews

The twists and turns in the Chinmayanand case have got Akhilesh Yadav, Samawadi Party leader, thinking about BJP’s ‘Beti Bachao’ campaign – and none of it is very complimentary.
भाजपा नेता के ख़िलाफ़ साहस दिखाते हुए आवाज़ उठाने वाली बेटी को ही जेल भेजकर भाजपा ने अपना असली चेहरा दिखा दिया है। आज देश की हर बेटी, बहन और माँ भाजपा के इस शर्मनाक कृत्य से दुखी है और लोग कह रहे हैं “देश में सब अच्छा है” — निंदनीय!
‘बेटी बचाओ’ भी आख़िरकार एक जुमला ही साबित हुआ।

Activist Rahul Easwar adds his two bits to the Modi as “Father of the Nation” debate. Why?
Sri Narendra Modi still has a long way to go to be universally regarded as #FatherOfIndia
But he is on track, after Bapu #MahatmaGandhi Modiji is the most known Indian Face of Leadership globally #ModiFatherFaceOff pic.twitter.com/ekWnZKFP29

Bernie Sanders, Democratic presidential hopeful, knows exactly what he thinks of US President Donald Trump and doesn’t hesitate to say it.
Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in the modern history of this country.

If Prime Minister Modi is the new Elvis Presley, what does that make Congress leader Sanjay Jha? Jennifer Lopez! Psephologist Yashwant Deshmukh is quite struck with the comparisons.
For once I agree.
Regardless of what Elvis thinks. https://t.co/kRfhhP2sEc— Yashwant Deshmukh 🇮🇳 (@YRDeshmukh) September 26, 2019
Journalist Deepal Trivedi clapped back at NewsNation editor Deepak Chaurasia, after he incorrectly identified the flowers on the saree worn by Sheikh Hasina, Prime Minister of Bangladesh. Breaking news?
Resp Deepak ji,you either need an urgent brain scan/or a 5th std text book.What #Bangladesh PM #SheikhHasina is wearing is a saree with water lily woven in it. Its NOT a lotus.Water lily is a national symbol of Bangladesh. It has been so before #BJP or perhaps you also were born. https://t.co/SiooXrFkM1

Kannan Gopinathan demonstrated his principled stand when he resigned from the administrative services to protest the government’s actions in Kashmir. However, at home he’s finding things a little too hot to handle.
In a recent argument with wife, I threw the rule book at her.
That, as per the statue of limitation, things beyond the period of limitation cannot be raised.
In return, she threw the constitution at me.
It was really heavy & it is still hurting! 😂

Climate activist, Greta Thunberg, never minces words, she just chews out her detractors.
It seems they will cross every possible line to avert the focus, since they are so desperate not to talk about the climate and ecological crisis.
Being different is not an illness and the current, best available science is not opinions – it’s facts. ->
