New Delhi: From Good Friday wishes to future movie plots on coronavirus — Twitter had a lot to say Friday.
Wheeler-dealers, to wheel-chairs. We can’t quite follow this scuffle between BJP’s Sambit Patra and Congress’ Sanjay Nirupam. Can you?
Wheeler-Dealers affecting Magharastra CM,Deputy CM & Home ministry??
These are indeed serious charges made on Maha Govt by their own members??
Can you please name the Ministers in Maha government who are influenced by wheeler-dealers??
It appears the Maha Govt is on Wheelchair! https://t.co/Q11S3zMYwK— Sambit Patra (@sambitswaraj) April 10, 2020
US President is more fixed on America’s economic crisis rather than it’s mounting Covid-19 death toll.
This week, in only 4 days, we had the biggest Stock Market increase since 1974. We have a great chance for the really big bounce when the Invisible Enemy is gone!

Madhya Pradesh CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan still can’t get over cows. Rather frivolous when his state has the highest coronavirus death rate…
हम तो हमेशा गाय को माता मान कर ही चले है…
लेकिन असली कमाल तो ये है कि जो लोग पहले ‘Guy-Guy’ करते नहीं थकते थे, वो भी अब ‘गाय-गाय’ करने लगे है।
ये सब तो उस गोकुल वाले ग़्वाले की ही लीला हो सकती है…?? ?

Historian Habib Irfan makes a very important appeal to the Muslim community.
Shocking to hear about the irresponsible conduct of few Muslims saying namaz in Chindwara mosque. How can any sane person be so callous towards his own and others health? Allah will help only if you help yourself and use your brain. Can't be fatalistic while facing such crises.

Former IAS officer Kannan Gopinathan just thanked the PM for taking his advice….Sure, Mr Gopinathan.
"The government has exempted imports of personal protection equipment (PPE), Covid-19 test kits, ventilators, face masks and surgical masks from basic customs duty and health cess, with immediate effect."
So you are listening @narendramodi. Good. ???https://t.co/iuR83DMoPv https://t.co/Wlc51CbjvT

Director Shekhar Kapur speculates about what future films on “corona” will look like. Are you planning to make one, Mr Kapur?
What will films be like post Corona? You just have to see the films that came out after the 2nd world war, after Independance. They reflected the new realities. Will our doctors and nurses be our new heroes? I hope so. Will the capitalists that threw out labour be the villains?

Counting days or weeks, Mr Bhogle?

Former union minister Yashwant Sinha attacks the BJP for “politicising” the current coronavirus pandemic.
All politics is forbidden during Corona times. But it does not apply to BJP and it is free to criticize state govts where it is in opposition. As usual, double standards by an unprincipled group of people.

And BJP leader Kapil Mishra announces some “over-ambitious” demands from Pakistan.
India should help Pakistan on these conditions :
1. Handover top terrorists like Hafiz Saeed, Masood Azhar & Dawood
2. Guarantee food & safety to Pakistani Hindus , Sikhs & Christians
3. Give back Pak Occupied J&K
Otherwise, India should not give any help to Pakistan
