I have declined media requests for comments since the meeting is confidential. However we urged MEA to issue a more detailed statement than usual. The meeting took place in a constructive spirit & all parties are united in their desire to see our nationals return safely home. — PolitiTweet.org

Excellent meeting of the Consultative Committee on External Affairs this morning on #Ukraine. My thanks to ⁦@DrSJaishankar⁩ & his colleagues for a comprehensive briefing & candid responses to our questions &concerns. This is the spirit in which foreign policy should be run. https://t.co/Y3T3UIrm9z — PolitiTweet.org

Lakshmi Menon, the entrepreneur who made mattresses out of PPE scraps for Covid patients, has come up with a new concept for #InternationalWomensDay, #Toiless. It offers women a sustainable solution to a decades old problem —where to find a clean public toilet when you need one! https://t.co/wZ5b9GZRDg — PolitiTweet.org

Learned I’ve tagged a Parody account of the Maharashtra CM. Should have tagged @OfficeofUT. But then it’s the individual that I intended, not his office (these are not official photographs in his book), so hope the honest mistake will be forgiven! @AUThackeray — PolitiTweet.org

There was a lot of this when the Yugoslav civil war broke out amid scenes of great savagery. “Imagine! Civilised Europe!” When will the continent that gave us two World Wars, countless civil wars, the Holocaust &the Cold War realise that killing is their norm &peace an exception? — PolitiTweet.org

आपकी गलती किसी दूसरे को नीचा दिखा कर नहीं ढकती है। विदेशों में पढ़ने वाले भारतीय बच्चों के लिए सरकार के मंत्री द्वारा दिया गया संवेदनहीन, सतही बयान हमारे बच्चों को नीचा दिखाता है। यह समय यूक्रेन में फंसे हमारे बच्चों को बिना और वक़्त गँवाए सुरक्षित वापस लाने का है। — PolitiTweet.org

Shocked by Minister ⁦@JoshiPralhad⁩’s statement. Our students are forced to study abroad because of an artificial scarcity in medical seats, contrived by vested interests &abetted by over-regulation that disincentivizes their establishment &expansion https://t.co/xlQSWLWN60 — PolitiTweet.org

Ended a long day yesterday with an excellent session at the ⁦@TheQuorumClub⁩ in dialogue with ⁦AnuradhaSengupta. We covered books, politics, #Ukraine, the hijab &ended up signing a lot of copies of #PridePrejudiceAndPunditry! Terrific turnout was a fresh sign of normalcy https://t.co/T4USL3BTSR — PolitiTweet.org

Enjoyed launching Khalid Ansari Sahib’s marvellous, anecdotal & fascinating memoir, It’s a Wonderful World, spanning his decades in journalism, cricket & public life. With cameos from @ravishastri, @cricketwallah & MCd by ⁦@Broacha_Cyrus⁩, it was a lively event! https://t.co/36jMsDM75J — PolitiTweet.org

Good to exchange books with ⁦@AUThackeray⁩ today — #PridePrejudiceAndPunditry for ⁦@UdhavThackeray⁩’s book of photographs of Mumbai. I think on this one I may have got the better of the deal! https://t.co/ziMVlaZYMF — PolitiTweet.org

Pleasant breakfast interaction with @BSKoshyari ji at Raj Bhavan marked by frankness & friendship on both sides. The estimable Governor, a former Parliamentary colleague, is always both courteous & candid, both qualities I admire. — PolitiTweet.org

It seems my morning tweet is lost somewhere in cyberspace. A special #MahaShivaratri greeting since my mother always celebrates this day as my birthday (I was born on MahaShivaratri) rather than the date on the Western calendar. My prayers for all who seek LordShiva’s blessings! https://t.co/Gc4imsAa4E — PolitiTweet.org

This is an awful tragedy. My heart goes out to the family of the victim and the anxious families of all those still stuck in Ukraine. We must do everything possible to get them home. — PolitiTweet.org

I agree. Knowing @ombirlakota he would never have insisted on such crass behaviour. This is over-zealousness married to insensitivity. The errant personnel should be disciplined & trained better. @IndembAbuDhabi @rameshnarayan @skswamy — PolitiTweet.org

ग़लत रणनीति, और दूरदर्शिता की कमी के कारण हमारे हज़ारों बच्चे यूक्रेन में बुरी तरह फंसे हैं। हालात बिगड़ते जा रहे हैं और समय तेजी से निकल रहा है। भारत का नागरिक और उसकी ज़िन्दगी की रक्षा हमारा प्रथम कर्तव्य होना चाहिए। — PolitiTweet.org
