With more than 31,000 new Covid cases, it would be irresponsible to go ahead with the Kerala University 4th Semester UG (offline) exams scheduled from Sept 1. I’ve urged @KeralaGovernor to intervene & put all such exams on hold until the situation is under control.@CMOKerala — PolitiTweet.org

On his 168th birth anniversary, I recall &salute the Thiruvananthapuram-born sage Chattampi Swamikal, legendary social reformer whose teaching influenced many social, religious, literary &political movements in Kerala & gave voice to the marginalised, especially women. https://t.co/l6OMq5BeSY — PolitiTweet.org

Inaugurated the Onam celebrations of the Kerala Pradesh Vyapari Vyavasayi Congress with remarks about how traders and entrepreneurs bring the prosperity that we all wish each other to have on Onam. https://t.co/ovRXFQYn8w — PolitiTweet.org

Had a good discussion with ⁦@INTUCnational⁩ leaders from Kerala, Chandrasekhar ji and Prathapan ji, on the importance of the trade union movement to the political fortunes of @incIndia. It’s often forgotten that Congress was, for much of the 20th century, a LabourParty. https://t.co/tilm8SCBq1 — PolitiTweet.org

At my “Meet the Public” session today for 2 hours, I met w/ over sixty constituents who had petitions & issues to raise. This little boy, Ihsan-ul-Haq, lives w/ an insulin pump. His family wants Type I juvenile diabetes to be recognised as a disability by the Central Government. https://t.co/y51LP0AR1w — PolitiTweet.org

@akul_jaiswal @INCTharoorian @dr_farrago_ There are many of these memes going around using the pic of me ritually smashing a coconut. I don’t know who dreams them up by they are often very funny. This one is one of my favourites: https://t.co/yGk0LWz1TR — PolitiTweet.org

What a delight it is to converse with Kerala’s Leader of the Opposition ⁦@vdsatheesan⁩! He is knowledgeable, pleasant, &highly effective, a man who does his homework & approaches his legislative role w/conviction. Under him ⁦@INCKerala⁩ has debated every Bill w/facts. https://t.co/Nqqz6n7eXL — PolitiTweet.org

Called on senior ⁦@INCKerala⁩ leader & former CM ⁦@Oommen_Chandy⁩ for a wide-ranging discussion Monday on various contemporary issues. Great to see him looking & sounding so well & in such a positive frame of mind. https://t.co/0K0yNFGHHD — PolitiTweet.org

"The US must realise that dealing with the influence of China in Afghanistan&Pakistan are a core Indo-Pacific challenge." Excellent piece by @samirsaran on how Washington must realign its vision of our region if it wants India to be part of its efforts: https://t.co/b3yprGORgD — PolitiTweet.org

Participated in the GoverningBody meeting of SainikSchool, Kazhakootam, which has produced many heroic officers for the armed services since 1962. It's deplorable that GoI's financial support has dwindled to a level that questions the very viability of the school. @rajnathsingh — PolitiTweet.org

Addressed the incoming 2021-23 batch of MBA students at D.Y.Patil Vidyapeeth, Pune, in virtual mode this morning & took some smart & thoughtful questions from the students. India needs capable managers who address the problems facing our society & can become leaders of change. — PolitiTweet.org

Addressed a meeting after consecration of a newly reconstructed & renovated Mar Thoma Church in Patoor, Thiruvananthapuram, & released a souvenir to mark the occasion.

At least now, BJP should acknowledge that national assets were created since independence by successive @incIndia govts so that today's BJP goverment can sell them to overcome the financial mess created in last 7 years of their misgovernance! https://t.co/lVJP2Jcnfc — PolitiTweet.org

With the 3rd Test starting tomorrow, I'm a bit alarmed to see commentators like SunilGavaskar predicting a 4-0 rout. I'd dearly want that, but can't forget 2014, where also we drew the 1st Test at Trent Bridge, won the second at Lord's, &then lost the next three by large margins! — PolitiTweet.org

Recalling that amazing moment of triumph fifty years ago when we allowed ourselves to believe for a brief heady moment that we were the WorldChampions of Test cricket (having won a series v WI earlier)! 'I was in a daze. England allout 101 &I had 6 for 38' https://t.co/WkDQCYl0ac — PolitiTweet.org

Communalising history is a deplorable project pursued narrow political ends, but rewriting the past to introduce communal divisions is to create false memories in a people who have been living in amity for generations: https://t.co/UCi6OqlYP0 @ichr_1972 shd be ashamed of itself. — PolitiTweet.org

Delighted to enjoy a stimulating dinner conversation with @KeralaGovernor Arif Mohd Khan Sahib.
