Kerala Finance Minister Thomas Isaac just joined all those who have expressed grave concerns about India’s economic slowdown.
Despite US Fed’s rate cut Indian stocks slide. It underlines the grim economic fundamentals and liquidity crunch. Bank write offs continue. NBFCs are jittery. When is India’s Lehman moment going to be?

Samajwadi Party’s Anil Yadav had quite a bit to say about the Thakur men defending ex-BJP legislator Kuldeep Sengar — and none of it was complimentary.
भाजपा के 7 में से 5 ठाकुर सांसदों ने कहा कि #KuldeepSengar का निष्काशन ग़लत, उन्हें फ़साया जा रहा है!

Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah has a major problem with the Valley being put on high alert. He says it has nothing to do with Article 35A or delimitation… Daal mein kuchh kaala hai?
What “on going situation” in Kashmir would require the army AND the Air Force to be put on alert? This isn’t about 35A or delimitation. This sort of alert, if actually issued, would be about something very different. https://t.co/FTYG36F6aD

Union Minister Smirti Irani has been very quiet on the Unnao rape victim’s ordeals but she has found time to shower praise upon a Gujarat police officer for his bravery in saving an infant girl.
मानवता भरा यह कार्य एक बार फिर हमें गुजरात पुलिस एवं गुजरातवासियों की संवेदनशीलता एवं कर्तव्यनिष्ठता का उदाहरण देता है।

Leader of the Opposition in Pakistan Shehbaz Sharif was clearly bitter over the failed no-confidence motion against Senate chairman Sadiq Sanjrani and blamed horse-trading. Is that something we have in common with our neighbours?
Horsing trading won and democracy got undermined again today. It is not just Opposition's loss. We will get down to the bottom of the matter and those who sold their conscience will be exposed.

Meanwhile, Pakistan Peoples Party chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari was denied permission to meet his father and former president Asif Ali Zarfari who is in jail on corruption charges.
Despite being granted permission by the court to visit our father. Both @AseefaBZ & I are not being allowed to see him today. Will consult lawyers as to the possibility of pursing contempt of court.
