Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi ‘clarified’ his stand on Kashmir — he categorically stated that Kashmir is an internal matter of India and needs no interference from Pakistan or any other country. His tweet comes after Pakistan cited Gandhi’s earlier remarks on Kashmir in its petition to the United Nations.
There is violence in Jammu & Kashmir. There is violence because it is instigated and supported by Pakistan which is known to be the prime supporter of terrorism across the world.

And he had the backing of fellow Congress leaders Shashi Tharoor and Randeep Singh Surjewala, who tweeted out their thoughts on the issue as well. It seems better late than never is not always true!
Spot on, Chief! This is what @INCIndia has insisted all along: J&K is an integral part of India; we opposed the manner in which Art.370 was abrogated because the way it was done assaulted our Constitution& democratic values. No reason for Pak to draw any comfort from our stand https://t.co/iI8HZ6sopU

Let no one in the world be in doubt that JK & Ladakh WERE-ARE-SHALL always remain an integral part of India.
No amount of diabolical deception by Pak shall change this truth.
Shri Rahul Gandhi has been mischievously dragged by Pak to justify their pack of lies.

So US President Donald Trump says he won’t interfere in the matters of Kashmir between India and Pakistan, but other US agencies don’t seem to mind interfering in India’s other internal issues. Read this one on NRC in Assam as a “Religious Test” for Muslims. This was cited by AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi in support of what he called a “man-made humanitarian crisis”.
In Assam, millions of people who've known India as their only home will be rendered without any rights. It’s an avoidable man-made humanitarian crisis.
Despite all the hugs & laughs, US has raised concerns about freedom of religion in India. [1/2]https://t.co/aDlJB5liDh

This is not the India that the world should know about. We should be known for our values of inclusion & coexistence, not for religion/ethnicity-based citizenship tests [2/2]

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s enthusiasm for India’s tourist spots continue as he shares this news about the controversial Statue of Unity in Gujarat.
Excellent news vis-à-vis the ‘Statue of Unity’- it finds a spot in the @TIME 100 greatest places 2019 list.
And, a few days back, a record 34,000 people visited the site in a single day.
Glad that it is emerging as a popular tourist spot!https://t.co/zLSNmwCKyc pic.twitter.com/7xmjWCz9xo

Manish Sisodia, Delhi’s Deputy CM, advocated for ‘Kejriwal-Economics’. With free water, electricity and ride in metros, we think there’s more here than what meets the eye.
This is Kejriwal-Economics!
जिन्हें @ArvindKejriwal की मुफ़्त पानी बिजली योजना से दिक्कत है वे इस ख़बर को ज़रूर देखें –
दिल्ली में 4 साल से लोगों को 20 हज़ार लीटर पानी हर महीने मुफ़्त मिल रहा है. और दिल्ली जल बोर्ड का राजस्य संग्रह 1219 करोड़ से बढ़कर 1819 करोड़ रु हो गया. https://t.co/BquQf1tHzL

BSP president Mayawati is concerned over a new trend — women becoming victims of mob lynchings in Uttar Pradesh.
यूपी में माब लिंचिंग अब अपने नए भयावह रूप में यहाँ की निर्दोष महिलाओं को अपना शिकार बना रहा है। इस सम्बंध में बच्चा चोरी के आरोप में बेगुनाह महिलाओं को प्रताड़ित/हत्या करने से लोगों में दहशत है। राज्य सरकार ऐसे गलत तत्वों के खिलाफ सख्त कानूनी कार्रवाई करे तो बेहतर है।
