@AnisPFI Respectfully disagree about “a large population”. A fringe is all they are. Even “mainstream” Hindutva has never come close to a majority of the vote. — PolitiTweet.org

With prominent attendees at the Iftar. It says much about Keralites that the Kerala Islamic Centre stands adjacent to the Guruvayurappan Temple, a Catholic Church & an Orthodox Church, in Mayur Vihar. A visible representation of communal harmony. This is the India I cherish. https://t.co/wY2c7TbQpN — PolitiTweet.org

Addressed the Iftar get-together of the Delhi Kerala Muslim Welfare Association &inaugurated their website before the fast was broken. Communal harmony in Kerala has been an example to the rest of the country. Here in Delhi the KeralaMuslim community thrives: turnout 1000+ today! https://t.co/63AJSVgX3Y — PolitiTweet.org

Why would a govt that gave everyone’s first two shots free require poor citizens to pay for a booster? Either being #Covid-free is a public health imperative or it’s not. If it is, don’t make the vulnerable pay; keeping them well is in the public interest! https://t.co/MQ39XYPb7O — PolitiTweet.org

A pleasure to meet handloom activist&actor PoonamKaur w/a group of law students demanding removal of GST on handloom products. I support their demand. The industry is in crisis; weavers can barely make ends meet. Obsolete equipment &high costs compounded by GST will destroy them. https://t.co/CeRhsvTNTY — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

As a Hindu I can say with confidence to Muslim friends that thugs like this do not represent my faith any more than a Daesh extremist represents yours. The vast majority of Hindus reject & disown such elements. They do not speak for us or for Hindus anywhere. Only themselves. — PolitiTweet.org

This is still true of #India, & has been true for much longer. A bunch of belligerent bigots cannot transform the essential character of a country overnight. — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

Hindi controversy is an official language, not India`s national language. Promoting a language that advantages one set of Indians over others is a recipe for division. Uniformity is not unity -- attempts to impose uniformity will undermine India's unity. https://t.co/kIbpjqNo4P — PolitiTweet.org

Quite alarming to see the stark difference between download speeds of mobile ISPs, an industry which demands a fair level playing field, especially with BSNL lagging so far behind. Otherwise we could end up facing the risk of a market dominated by a select few. https://t.co/d2fKSpRTeV — PolitiTweet.org

In the wake of frequent floods in Kerala, careful balance between development interests & ecological concerns is needed. However, as I mentioned to the Minister, we must avoid unfair inclusion of ineligible places like Amboory, Kallikad &Vazhichal in TVM, under ESA restrictions. https://t.co/PmbCVbNcdt — PolitiTweet.org

The power of a Parliament question, I suppose! The Army Welfare Society, as per a letter of 29March, has reversed its deplorable decision to discontinue regional languages in Army Public Schools, contrary to the Minister's original response below: https://t.co/ixeyF3dpm3 https://t.co/A5MDsLaGU6 — PolitiTweet.org

Distressing to see the alarming number of deaths &accidents involving truck drivers, the working cogs of India's engine. These deaths shouldn't just be dismissed as professional hazards, but demand a thorough study of the causes. Such tragedies push their families into poverty! https://t.co/obC6qenYIz — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

The #NoData excuse strikes again! Not maintaining data on incidents of mob lynching reflects GoI's chronic silence on such acts. It has not reacted either to my PrivateMember's Bill against Lynching, which provides protection to victims &punishes both vigilantes & complicit cops! https://t.co/f4bNrtS7xd — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

By admitting that GoI doesn't keep data on vacancies for AYUSH Doctors, it only implies that it is not aware of the total demand for AYUSH treatment in the country. How can we expect the Ministry to allocate adequate resources when such fundamental data collection is lagging? https://t.co/ewYU4PcJms — PolitiTweet.org

MSMEs are the lifelines of our country's economy, employing more than half the population, but having been afflicted by the ravages of the pandemic (&fuel prices now), MSMEs' were expecting some hand-holding & help. But all they got is arm-twisting, with only credit offered! https://t.co/yK9JkCflwN — PolitiTweet.org

Productivity of several pulses, especially in Kharif crops, has been falling. In a country where a significant proportion of the population depends exclusively on pulses for its protein requirements, the alarming trend spells trouble. GoI must act to prevent malnutrition! https://t.co/8T93tgxB3j — PolitiTweet.org

Well, thank God for MGNREGA, or as the PM refers to it, the 'living monument of UPA's failure'! Else rural families would have been left to fend for themselves without the vital income support that MGNREGA provides, evident from the clear uptick in employment demand in 2020-21. https://t.co/sjqp9Dh7SU — PolitiTweet.org
