1/2 I said four months ago that strongmen leaders would use the excuse of the pandemic to stifle democracy&dissent. The notification for the delayed Parliament session blandly announces there will be no Question Hour. How can this be justified in the name of keeping us safe? — PolitiTweet.org

Remembering #SriNarayanaGuru on his 164th birth anniversary. The great social reformer, preacher & visionary (“one caste, one religion, one God for humankind“) left behind lessons of mutual respect & harmony that India can still learn from. He continues to inspire millions. https://t.co/pgkekHQzAr — PolitiTweet.org

As the bad news on the economy (which began with the folly of demonetisation & continued through the #Covid19 #lockdowns) gets worse by the day, I sang a little parody to myself of a Bollywood song you will all recognise....& have been persuaded to share it with you! https://t.co/ycIoDxZUy3 — PolitiTweet.org

Paid my respects at @CitiznMukherjee's last residence at 10 Rajaji Marg. Huge crowds had gathered. Saw @Abhijit_LS & @Sharmistha_GK, their eyes red with grief above their #Covid19 masks. The nation is united in collective mourning. — PolitiTweet.org

I had committed to launching this brilliant & highly readable book by Avay Shukla at 6.30 pm, weeks ago, & believe the organisers are going ahead despite the tragic news that has just come in. If you miss it, I highly recommend you read the book anyway! https://t.co/ny62xIVbB1 — PolitiTweet.org

The last time I shared a stage with @CitiznMukherjee, our respected Pranab-da, was just a few months ago. He seemed well&spoke at length in his inimitable style.

Celebrated Onam with a sadya for staff and families (a socially-distanced dozen)from the superb Kerala restaurant in Delhi’s Saket, ⁦@mahabelly⁩ (which also helpfully supplied the masks). The authentic taste of home, hygienically packaged, was a small comfort in hard times. https://t.co/pRqT0QoVbw — PolitiTweet.org

It is shocking that one of the disappointed rank-holders, Anu of Thiruvananthapuram, committed suicide in despair, as I tweeted yesterday. Yet PSC officials have banned two critics from even taking PSC exams for 3 years because of their protests on social media. Disgraceful! https://t.co/zn57RDhSg7 — PolitiTweet.org

My young colleague @inckerala GenSec MathewKuzhalnadan is spending Thiruvonam day on hunger-strike to protest the injustice perpetrated by the state PSC against rank-holders denied jobs while contract appointments are blithely made for these posts. I proudly inaugurated his fast. https://t.co/aB6eouf6Md — PolitiTweet.org

What a terrible loss! His luminous intelligence, his grace & courtesy, his affable wit & deep knowledge made him unrivalled company. It was allied to genuine warmth & a remarkable gift for friendship. Shankar Bajpai’s virtues were timeless. He will long be missed. Om Shanti. — PolitiTweet.org

Offended Keralites have responded to this insult to their beloved King Mahabali by trending #HappyOnamKejriwal. Any Keralites who were misguided enough to vote for @AAPDelhi should remember this as they enjoy their Thiruvonam sadyas tomorrow! — PolitiTweet.org
