New Delhi: After being scolded by the Supreme Court in the Rafale case and advised by BJP Union Minister Shiv Shankar Prasad to `apologise’, Rahul Gandhi replies.
Justice Joseph of the Supreme Court has opened a huge door into investigation of the RAFALE scam.
An investigation must now begin in full earnest. A Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) must also be set up to probe this scam. #BJPLiesOnRafale pic.twitter.com/JsqZ53kZFP

Seems like ‘truth’ and ‘justice’ are the most popular words in the BJP’s vocabulary this week with so many Supreme Court verdicts to celebrate.

And here’s former chief minister of Bihar, Lalu Prasad Yadav, back on Twitter after a long maun vrat, when son Tejashwi Yadav criticised the current CM Nitish Kumar.
राजधर्म के पालनकर्ता को जनता के प्रति नकारात्मक नहीं बल्कि नतमस्तक होना चाहिए।
लेकिन ऐसे व्यक्ति से जनता भी क्या उम्मीद करे जिसने एक झटके में करोड़ों राज्यवासियों के जनादेश को बेच दिया हो। https://t.co/Iks9lhnHRI

Congress MP and wordsmith Shashi Tharoor’s sneak peak of his standup act on `One Mic Stand’ inspired fellow Congressman Milind Deora to boast of his own comic skills.
This looks wickedly funny, Shashi! Self-deprecating politicians make the best comedians ?

Congress’ spokesperson Sanjay Jha has really overdone it with the ‘Sir Ji’, don’t you think?
Now that the Supreme Court has given the #RafaleVerdict , I would like to publicly apologise to the Honourable Shri Anil Ambani Ji for making bogus charges against him on TV shows. Sir Ji, you are a personification of integrity, honesty and transparency.
Sir Ji, please forgive.
— Sanjay Jha (@JhaSanjay) November 14, 2019
Oh, here we were thinking he was serious about that dramatic apology!
So I believe my sardonic, scalding, and sarcastic dig at Shri Ambani Ji on the #RafaleVerdict is being deliberately misconstrued by some BJP cheerleaders masquerading as TV anchors as a real public apology. ROTFL!
Guys, this clarification will hurt. Sorry to spoil your show!

On Jawaharlal Nehru’s birth anniversary, historian Ramachandra Guha quotes Sardar Patel’s comments on Nehru. Wonder what a certain party has to say about this?
Patel on Nehru, 14 November 1949:
"Jawaharlal has gone from strength to strength as a political leader. The sincerity of his convictions, the breadth of his outlook, the clarity of his vision, and the purity of his emotions—these have brought to him the homage of millions". 1/2— Ramachandra Guha (@Ram_Guha) November 14, 2019
Shiv Sena’s Priyanka Chaturvedi probably knows what she is talking about here, since she has close connections with the Congress, her former party.
हमारी खामोशी को हमारी कमजोरी ना समझना। जब बात निकलेगी तो दूर तलक जाएगी !

BJP’s Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga, one of the most active and popular politicians on Twitter, declares ‘Chowkidar pure hai’ following the Supreme Court’s clean chit to the government on the Rafale deal. Did you have your doubts about that, sir?
