New Delhi: Congress MP Shashi Tharoor’s impressive vocabulary just expanded further— he called BJP wallahs ‘P-Nats’, or pseudo nationalists, who have brought ‘P-Nuts’ to the nation.
Indeed the creed of the ruling establishment is #PseudoNationalism. They are the “P-Nats”. And all they have brought to the nation so far? P-Nuts. https://t.co/dPtPQfIrzY

Cricketer-turned-BJP MP from East Delhi, Gautam Gambhir came up with his own tongue twister at the expense of old cricketing rival from Pakistan, Shahid Afridi, after the latter’s remarks on Kashmir.
Guys, in this picture Shahid Afridi is asking Shahid Afridi that what should Shahid Afridi do next to embarrass Shahid Afridi so that’s it’s proven beyond all doubts that Shahid Afridi has refused to mature!!!

Seems Mamata Banerjee, West Bengal chief minister, is looking heavenwards for inspiration — wonder whether this “Bengal is beautiful” image clouds her vision?
Today is National Sports Day, the birth anniversary of the Wizard of Hockey, Dhyan Chand. #Bangla is synonymous with sports. Schools, colleges, clubs, organisations are given financial assistance by our Government for the development of sports infrastructure

BJP leader Subramanian Swamy reminds everyone of post-retirement appointments of judges by the UPA government, in defense of the recent appointment of retired “Justice Gaud’’ (Sunil Gaur) to the PMLA appellate tribunal. But wasn’t BJP meant to be the party with a difference, sir?
Congis are groaning and moaning that Retd HC Judge Sunil Gaud got a post as Chm of PMLA Board. If he judges a crook as a crook does Congi want us to punish him? What about CJIs who got plum posts on retirement during UPA period?

Sharmistha Mukherjee, Congress lashed out at author Arundhati Roy after a 2011 video made the rounds in which she compared the armies of India and Pakistan. Roy has apologised for her remarks but maybe Mukherjee didn’t hear?

Perhaps u were too young then 2 know about the murder, rape, tortures with which Pakistan brutalised its own ‘citizens’ but u r old enuf now 2 learn abt it & refrain from making such utterly irresponsible & disgusting comments https://t.co/fKmeIGtlmF

Congress MP from Kaliabor, Gaurav Gogoi wants to remind everyone that his organisation is a “party of patriots”. Not satisfied with that, on Thursday, he delivered a geography lesson to Union minister Jitendra Singh — read what he said.
No matter how hard the BJP tries to distract the public, it is our patriotic duty to defend the values and principles of the Indian constitution. We are the party of democratic values and constitutional morality. @INCIndia was and will continue to be a party of patriots.

US President Donald Trump has war of words (nothing new for him) with UK’s Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn. Take a look.
I think what the US president is saying, is that Boris Johnson is exactly what he has been looking for, a compliant Prime Minister who will hand Britain's public services and protections over to US corporations in a free trade deal. https://t.co/kcg2jkYi0o

Tejashwi Yadav, RJD leader and former deputy chief minister of Bihar, made a rare Twitter appearance with a jibe at “Bureau Chief Nitish Kumar”.
बिहार में औसतन 50 हत्याएँ हो रही है। प्रशासन सत्ता की हनक और सनक के सामने अपनी कर्तव्यनिष्ठा को सरेंडर कर चुका है।
ब्यूरो चीफ़ नीतीश कुमार विज्ञापन के बदले अपनी मीडिया एडिटिंग के भरोसे बेफिक्र हैं कि जनता को सच्चाई का पता नहीं चलेगा। https://t.co/ExMdMbikxA
