New Delhi: Apart from being excited about his forthcoming rally in Houston, US, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is particularly looking forward to welcoming a very special guest to the event with a “Howdy!”
The special gesture of President @realDonaldTrump to join us in Houston highlights the strength of the relationship and recognition of the contribution of the Indian community to American society and economy. #HowdyModi

And on the subject of language, Congressman Salman Anees Soz has proposed making Kashmiri one of India’s languages.
Proposal: Kashmiri as India’s national language.
Benefits:
-1.3 billion people get to learn a new language.
-Job creation in Kashmir (Modi ji’s goal)
-International master stroke (BJP loves MS)
-the rest of you may finally understand us.— Salman Anees Soz (@SalmanSoz) September 14, 2019
I speak Kashmiri at home. With a Baramulla accent.
Your passive aggressive tweet was cute though ?

We know that Bibek Debroy, Chairman of the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister, knows his economics and his Mahabharat, which he has translated. But he’s also adept at limericks. Here’s one about a Chinese lady who dislocated her jaw. Plot twist: It’s a true story.
Today's Mint Metric in @livemint
A Chinese lady's loud guffaw
Had her dislocate her jaw.
The fun on the train
Needed a dose of procaine,
Mirth must be considerate of the maw.— Bibek Debroy (@bibekdebroy) September 16, 2019
At the Statue of Unity, External Affairs Minister Dr. S Jaishankar admires the floral map and “marvels” at how the world has come to India, without noting that the world in question has Australia upside down and no trace of North America. See for yourself.

Dr. Raman Singh, former chief minister of Chhattisgarh, suddenly showed up this morning with a Monday morning motivation message that we didn’t quite understand.
जीवन में जब हम अपने लक्ष्य की ओर बढ़ते हैं तब बाधाओं का हमारे मार्ग में अवरोधक बन कर सामने आना सामान्य है। इन बाधाओं से भयभीत हुए बिना हमें इनके समाधान पर विचार करना चाहिए, इस प्रकार से अपने कर्मपथ पर गतिशील रहने वाले मनुष्य ही लक्ष्य को प्राप्त करते हैं। #MondayMotivation pic.twitter.com/t416HP0c0a

Nobel laureate and human rights activist, Malala Yousafzai’s tweets on Kashmir have unleashed a Twitter tangle with many people criticising and praising her in equal measure. Take a look!
I wanted to hear directly from girls living in Kashmir right now. It took a lot of work from a lot of people to get their stories because of the communications blackout. Kashmiris are cut off from the world and unable to make their voices heard. #LetKashmirSpeak
— Malala (@Malala) September 14, 2019
Disappointing to see @Malala wade into cliched Pakistan state narrative about #Kashmir when the hard truth is that she can never even return to her own country because she was shot for the rights of girls to go to school.

Shiromani Akali Dal MLA Manjinder Sirsa sent out birthday greetings to a Mrs Gandhi, the Gandhi “we all admire”.
A hint: this Gandhi is in the BJP and isn’t Maneka.
Bday wishes to the Gandhi we all admire ?
Happy Bday @MrsGandhi Ji
