New Delhi: Harsha Bhogle defends ‘his India’, and becomes one of the few voices from the cricketing fraternity to speak up on the turmoil brought on by the Citizenship Amendment Act and a possible nationwide National Register of Citizens (NRC).
No Dennis, my India isn't broken. It is full of vibrant young people doing amazing things too. We are a fully functional, mature democracy. We might voice our dissent, our disappointment at times but we are fiercely Indian. That word you used in comparison…..never. https://t.co/2rTmEJs4dX

Congress’ Sanjay Nirupam says the phrase ‘It’s economics, stupid’ that has gone viral in the US, is applicable to India as well.
It's economics, stupid!
अमेरिकी चुनावों के इस मशहूर नारे को भारत के हाल के चुनावी नतीजों में पहचानना चाहिए।
लोगों के घर-जमीन,रोजी-रोटी,धंधा-पानी,नौकरी ये सब बड़े चुनावी प्रश्न बन गए हैं।
चुनावी लाभांश अर्जित करते रहना है तो नरेटिव इन्हीं प्रश्नों के इर्द-गिर्द बुनना पड़ेगा।

Some Christmas alliteration brought to you by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor.

Wonder who writes such beautiful, welcoming, secular tweets!
Merry Christmas!
We remember, with immense joy, the noble thoughts of Jesus Christ. He epitomised spirit of service and compassion, devoting his life towards alleviating human suffering.
His teachings inspire millions across the world.

BJP’s Amit Malviya makes serious allegations but where’s the proof?
From Mangalore to Aligarh Muslim University, several video evidences conclusively prove that these were not spontaneous expressions of dissent but well planned conspiracy to create chaos. Criminal elements were funded to riot and destroy public property. Will be held to account..

Did Mr Mishra just blame it all on Vajpayee on his birth anniversary?
आज वाजपेयी जी की जयंती हैं
370 ख़तम हो चुकी हैं
राम मंदिर के रास्ते मे पड़े सारे कंकड़ पत्थर हटा दिए गए हैं
बांग्लादेशी और रोहिंग्या घुसपैठियों को वापस भेजने की तैयारियां शुरू हैं
ये ही भारत का सपना वाजपेयी जी ने देखा था, बार बार दोहराया था #AtalBihariVajpayee ?

Why doesn’t BJP’s Priti Gandhi give her brain some winter rest?

Mehbooba Mufti’s daughter, Iltija Mufti, takes a dig at Home Minister Amit Shah for saying there is no connection between the NRC and the NPR. Links it to Article 370.
Just like people of Kashmir were assured Article 370 wouldn’t be scrapped https://t.co/3SsxzIdTSd
