@Drvineetgarg65 @INCTharoorian @jameelsjam Appreciate that. I'm still spending most of the day in bed, working from my laptop. Thanks for your solicitousness. — PolitiTweet.org

"Root had said at the start of the summer that England were aiming to win all seven Tests. Ah well, he probably tweeted worse as a fifteen-year old." @BillPavilionEnd's ruminations on the recent England cricketing disaster vs NewZealand: https://t.co/8NW6gMQcf3 — PolitiTweet.org

Wishing young @AUThackeray a wonderful birthday and a successful year ahead. The future belongs to young leaders & Aditya is one of the brightest — capable, responsive, effective & with a clear-sighted vision that embraces both development and the environment. Many happy returns! — PolitiTweet.org

@HarmonickaMaini . The worry is what that different breed will be — a breed shaped by the bigotry, communalism & intolerance propagated by our current rulers, or a breed of steel forged in the crucible of resistance to their corrosive prejudices? — PolitiTweet.org

In his Sunday column, Karan Thapar labels ⁦@narendramodi⁩ the Artful Dodger (a role I played in the 1968 Campion School production of Dickens’ “Oliver”). He credits the PM not with the Dodger’s specialty, pickpocketing, but w/dodging responsibility: https://t.co/LCnTYmjasO — PolitiTweet.org

Fascinating debate, but i don't believe India's a failed state, just a badly-governed one under BJP Raj: https://t.co/9TkvvfpElx Good piece by @ShoaibDaniyal — PolitiTweet.org

As we near the first anniversary of the #GalwanIncident, disturbing to read that China’s army continues to resist disengagement & troop de-escalation in Ladakh, & wants India to accept the “new” frontier created by its transgressions, as GoI plays ostrich: https://t.co/Vi9fm4QUBo — PolitiTweet.org

Since i am still in bed w/ post-Covid complications, had a good video conversation w/ young Mohd Rashad this evening & met his family "virtually"! Congratulated him & reminded him that language should first of all be used for communication. Wished him good luck in the future. — PolitiTweet.org

Young Plus-1 student Mohammed Rashad recites the third-longest word in the English language (a technical term not found in your dictionary!) & expresses a wish to meet me. I'll be delighted to do so, butfrom this it’s clear i'd be safer speaking to him in Malayalam! https://t.co/DvSUTkqn83 — PolitiTweet.org

@stylistanu Sincere condolences @stylistanu. The loss of a mother is a huge blow & I pray for you to find the strength to bear your grief. Remember she will now always be with you. Om Shanti. — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations, @JindalGlobalUNI, VC RajKumar & @MPNaveenJindal on this recognition. Having visited & addressed JGU several times, i'm impressed by the standards you have achieved. Now the challenge is to maintain them! All the best for continued success. — PolitiTweet.org

Discovered a fascinating @youtube channel on Kerala history, literature & culture run by P. K. Rajasekharan, winner of the Kerala Sahitya Akademi Award for Literary Criticism in 1997. It deserves a far bigger audience. My best wishes to him! https://t.co/6nD9KKUcEo — PolitiTweet.org

As lockdowns have thrown more people out of work, the Chandran Tharoor Foundation contributed to food relief by aiding the Venganoor, Balaramapuram & Athiyanoor Panchayat community kitchens. The battle with Covid is to sustain life in every possible way for those affected. https://t.co/Cn9sykvSaf — PolitiTweet.org

This is an attempt to set an example of progressive law-making in our country, on an issue that affects the well-being of all our citizens. Both the Bill & the process we've tried to embark upon could help transform the way legislation is used to ensure & protect social change. — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

A copy of the Draft Bill will be made public through a website soon. In the meantime, if anyone would like a copy, please write to office[at]https://t.co/sHZev9DyAN. This is only a working draft. Revisions of the Bill based on comments received will also be forwarded to the Govt. — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

That's why I have written to Law Minister of Kerala with a Draft Bill which can be introduced in the State Assembly. I have also urged him & the LoP to initiate a pre-legislative consultation process on this Draft, so that maximum participation of stakeholders can be ensured. — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

This can re-ignite the discourse on the need for a national legislation against discrimination, while also setting up strong frameworks in the states. A central Bill cannot, at any rate, cover subjects that are under the exclusive jurisdiction of the state government. — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

India is one of the few democracies without a robust anti-discrimination law. I had introduced the Anti-Discrimination & Equality Bill, 2016, in the LS. Regrettably it was not considered by the GoI. It is clear that a State should take the first step in enacting such a law. — PolitiTweet.org
