Issues raised by individual petitioners are a major portion of an MP’s caseload. Yesterday they ranged from a request for a Sea Wall to battle coastal erosion, to a legal case of a constituent seeking recognition by her birth parents, to authors presenting their books to me. https://t.co/wwYAEcT98R — PolitiTweet.org

Received a representation from the Kerala Bank Employees’ Federation against the privatisation of public sector banks. Discussed the pros & cons in a constructive spirit. https://t.co/nRDy6HpFcP — PolitiTweet.org

Spent three hours on meeting the public at the MP office in Thiruvananthapuram yesterday. The large number of petitioners suggests a gradual return to normalcy after the height of the Omicron wave. Some 150 people were received between 10.30am and 2 pm Saturday. https://t.co/5cNqH8pBer — PolitiTweet.org

2/2 #SainikSchool was established in Thiruvananthapuram in 1962 to encourage Keralites to join the armed forces. GoI should commit funds in the national interest. Instead the disgraceful failure of theCentre to fulfil its responsibilities means @CMOKerala must help. @rajnathsingh — PolitiTweet.org

1/2 Met the Principal of #SainikSchool Kazhakoottam, Col. DhirendraKumar, &Administrative Officer Lt.Col ShelleyK.Das to discuss the financial crisis facing an invaluable institution. A strike by teachers whose salaries were unpaid was a new low. Scholarships are also inadequate. https://t.co/9kG0jhCcTw — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

My op-Ed in today’s ⁦@the_hindu⁩ argues the case for India to live up to its own millennia-old humanitarian traditions & enact a refugee& asylum law that will be a model of its kind. If ⁦@PMOIndia⁩ claims to be a Vishwaguru, it needs to start behaving like one. https://t.co/xar97HN8VS — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

Excellent piece by ⁦@Barugaru1⁩ on the Singapore imbroglio, with which I am wholly in agreement. This relationship is too important for India to neglect or devalue. We need to make a serious effort to rebuild and strengthen the bridges between us. https://t.co/ShtZA55qfv — PolitiTweet.org

I don't endorse this individual, whom i'd never heard of, but am concerned about the sentiment he conveys, which is sadly shared by many who are friends of India. While accepting @indembkwt's view, I urge GoI not2give ammo to such anti-India elements by condoning misconduct here. — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

@yashchhabra63 on the contrary. I have never done so. — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

Domestic actions have international repercussions. I hear from friends across the Gulf of their dismay at rising Islamophobia in India &the PM’s unwillingness to condemn it, let alone act decisively against it. “We like India.But don’t make it so hard for us to be your friends”. — PolitiTweet.org

@siddtalks . Yes, we believe pride comes from real achievements & not words. Least of all is pride manifested in imagined slights and chips on your shoulder. A proud country is well above that kind of petulant behaviour. — PolitiTweet.org

@Chockalingam_Ra @jameelsjam Striking! — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

We should have handled the matter with a statement saying “we heard with interest the PM’s remarks. But we don’t comment on other countries’ internal matters, nor on debates in foreign Parliaments, & urge everyone to follow the same principle.” Far more effective &less offensive. — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

Most unseemly for MEA to summon the HC of a friendly country like Singapore over some remarks by their PM to their own Parliament: https://t.co/vbHN69YTJa He was making a general (&largely accurate) point. Given the stuff our own pols utter,we must learn to be less thin-skinned! — PolitiTweet.org

Two wickets in the morning session for the unusually-named Eden Apple Tom, on his Ranji Trophy debut at the tender age of 17! His formidable reputation for pace & swing for him a first-class cap at his age, despite not being picked for India Under19. https://t.co/DJbCxA3jlg — PolitiTweet.org

Lit the lamp at the apartment building where I reside, alongside other residents who offered Pongala in the garden. Made sure to give them Prasadam from the Attukal temple, where I prayed after witnessing (as I do every year) the auspicious commencement of the #AttukalPongala. https://t.co/Oy7IaoGGDh — PolitiTweet.org
