New Delhi: From Kerala to Kashmir, Twitter buzzed with various issues Thursday.
Not everyone found Kerala Tourism’s tweet about a beef delicacy ‘appetising’.

BJP MP Gautam Gambhir criticised Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for wasting taxpayers’ money on advertisements. The Aam Aadmi Party’s response was savage.

Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut was left regretting his words after he alleged that former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi met Karim Lala, an underworld don.

Congress leader Kapil Sibal had a serious question for Home Minister Amit Shah regarding Kashmir.

And finally, a funny encounter between Reuters correspondent Devjyot Ghoshal and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
"Foreign minister, I'm from Reuters," I said, about to launch a question.
