Have written to Kerala's Law Minister P.Rajeeve to consider enacting an anti-discrimination law, as promised in both our parties' manifestoes, that could be a model for the country: https://t.co/umNnyseMd0 — PolitiTweet.org

Glad to be of service to my constituents. The Technopark employs a large number of people working in close proximity. Vaccinating them asap keeps the IT industry humming in Thiruvananthapuram while preventing a large-scale #Covid outbreak. The TEC Hospital paid for its vaccines. https://t.co/jmT5WiIIjL — PolitiTweet.org

Only in India: on June 13, Mamata Banerjee will wed Socialism in a ceremony attended by Leninism & Communism, while Marxism looks on. The ceremony will be presided over by Lenin. The offspring may be named Cubaism. #SMH !! https://t.co/nIFBVNpJbd — PolitiTweet.org

3/3 The sedition case will fail in the courts, since it does not meet basic standards, but she will be made to suffer till then. The process is the punishment. It is a total abuse of the process of law & unworthy of our democracy. The case against Aisha Sultana shld be withdrawn. — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

2/3 I even introduced a Private Member's Bill in Parliament in 2014-15 to "read down" the Sedition Law as to make the SC interpretation clear. Applying the wrong interpretation to charge Aysha Sultana is little more than harassment. — PolitiTweet.org

1/3 In our democracy, criticism of Govt that does not involve incitement to violence is not seditious, a principle the Supreme Court has repeatedly upheld & that various state police forces have more repeatedly ignored. The case should be dropped. — PolitiTweet.org

That anger reveals the contrast between UPA’s tolerance of healthy criticism &the NDA govt’s intolerance towards it. Our attitude came from our understanding of democracy & confidence that our work would answer the critics. Theirs reveals their insecurity & lack of performance. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m told a sentence in my article on defections has been misconstrued as implying that bankers &lawyers have no principles & convictions. I was only referring to political convictions. No one works for a bank because of its ideology. A lawyer will work for any client. That’s all! — PolitiTweet.org

Applause to @virsanghvi for driving home the point that I made yesterday -- a careerist politics in which one can jump to one's ideological opposite is a politics shorn of principles & values, & betrays the nation: https://t.co/xzoa88aywB — PolitiTweet.org

@HardeepSPuri Hardeep, this continuing tirade really doesn't become you. As a former diplomat, surely you remember Talleyrand's classic exhortation, "surtout pas trôp de zèle"?
