National BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra was all sarcastic about feminists and liberals who wrote a letter to PM Modi complaining about lynching incidents. Find out why.
Astonishingly No outrage by the “Liberal-49” group or the so called crusaders of Feminism …इतना सन्नाटा क्यों है भाई? pic.twitter.com/etdCeVU9gH

Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai pleaded for peace in Kashmir.
The people of Kashmir have lived in conflict since I was a child, since my mother and father were children, since my grandparents were young. pic.twitter.com/Qdq0j2hyN9

In a long thread of tweets, JKPM’s Shehla Rashid condemned the lockdown in Kashmir.
Let it be placed on record that people of Kargil oppose the bifurcation of the state. Their voices won't be allowed to reach us. #KargilLockdown #Kashmir #PrayForKashmirhttps://t.co/f5iqgXYf4M

Apart from suggesting that Congress might be batting for Pakistan, Union Minister of Animal Husbandry Giriraj Singh made a comparison between Switzerland and Kashmir. The only similarity we seem to see are the mountains, sir…
कांग्रेसियों की भाषा सुनकर समझना मुश्किल हो जाता है कि कांग्रेसी पाक के शह पर बोल रहे हैं या पाक कांग्रेसी के शह पर ?
पाक और कांग्रेस के मंसूबे कभी कामयाब नहीं होंगे,बालाकोट ना भूले पाक।
370 हटने से कश्मीर को स्विट्जरलैंड की तरह विकसित/सुंदर राज्य बनने की पूरी सम्भावना है। pic.twitter.com/ecrYXJaLDm— Shandilya Giriraj Singh (@girirajsinghbjp) August 8, 2019
Communist Party of India (Marxist) member Mohammed Salim had some dark predictions about Kashmir, and the country too.
Roses are Red,
Democracy is Dead,
Violets are Blue,
Kashmir is under Curfew,
What’s happening here today,
Will happen to you too.Be afraid & concerned, it’ll come for us all. He‘ll quell our dissent and rob our rights with brute force. Via friends of @BraindedIndia pic.twitter.com/nvuZQ6h6NL

Congress National Spokesperson Jaiveer Shergill is clearly not a fan of things being swept under the carpet.
PM promised to give account of demonetization within 50 days but,till date, that day has not come; Now will BJP ever give account of impact of #Art370 revocation on infiltration, terrorism,security forces casualty?Or answerability on this too will be buried in sheath of jingoism?

Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh gave his opinion on the tug-of-war between India and Pakistan after the Modi government’s move on Kashmir.
Kashmir is our internal matter & Pakistan’s decision to downgrade diplomatic ties is a knee-jerk reaction. Both countries must take adequate steps to ensure progress of #KartarpurCorridor isn't jeopardized in light of @pid_gov decision to downgrade diplomatic relations with India

Karnataka Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa asked Defence Minister Rajnath Singh for helicopters to assist in flood rescue. Maybe he should try forming his cabinet first so that there is a minister in charge of relief operations?
Requested Hon’ble Union Defence Minister @rajnathsingh to provide choppers for rescue operations in flood-hit areas. A special rescue and relief operation team likely to reach Belagavi this evening. #KarnatakaFloods

Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad was stopped at Srinagar airport and the party handle was quick to castigate the ruling party for it. BJP’s official handle did not even broach the topic.
If things are normal in Kashmir as the BJP Govt claims, why has the former CM of Jammu and Kashmir Shri Ghulam Nabi Azad been stopped from entering Kashmir? It is flat out illegal and shows that the BJP Govt is lying to the people of India again. https://t.co/7VPDBeIlPL

BJP spokesperson Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga takes a dig at a woman who tried to shame him for his past job choices with this rather interesting tweet.
