Confusion in @PMOIndia about the economy. One Economic Adviser to PM says this year GDP could grow 1%, https://t.co/yWg0P6HdJT, while today another Economic Adviser to PM tells Karan Thapar the economy may shrink 5-7%! https://t.co/kqXPHaA6dg No wonder the PM hasn't a clue. — PolitiTweet.org

Embarrassed to admit I missed #NationalLibraryDay, but maybe that's because i've stopped borrowing books.... Still, thank you to @360degreengo for remembering. Whether you borrow or buy your books -- read!! — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

So true. This equation by the PM of the freedom struggle w/ the destruction of the Babri Masjid is a "diminished idea of India" that reduces the Independence Movement "to the level of a violent & vulgar brawl". Powerful and courageous! — PolitiTweet.org

I'm frankly a bit appalled at the willingness of some of my colleagues to violate the strict requirement of confidentiality of ParliamentaryCommittee meetings: https://t.co/hrFfRDq6KY The irony is that other MPs have been denied the right to participate virtually for this reason! — PolitiTweet.org

This matter raised by @JaiveerShergill requires serious consideration, w/due regard to freedom of expression & Article 19 provisions, as well as existing conduct guidelines. Since the subject is currently under discussion in the parl'y cmt, I will seek a report from the Ministry. — PolitiTweet.org

@rahulkanwal . Since when was supporting human rights incompatible with supporting India? For decades Indian democracy was about upholding human rights. Aren’t you embarrassed to admit it no longer is? My Indianness is about diversity, inclusion, rights; I hope so is @KamalaHarris’s. — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks @BhanuDhamija for rising to my defence on the merits of the presidential system. You rightly point out that the present system, which fuses executive&legislative authority in the PMO, & appoints Governors to control states,is far more "dictatorial": https://t.co/kOjDpKm9Gn — PolitiTweet.org

Enjoyable discussion w/ @CNBCTV18News on the historic selection of @KamalaHarris as @JoeBiden's running mate. On India-US relations, i made the point that American politicians who have a liberal agenda of diversity&inclusiveness at home can scarcely support illiberal Govts abroad — PolitiTweet.org

Today is #WorldElephantDay. In 2010, the much-loved elephant was declared India’s national heritage mammal. Elephants are ubiquitous in Kerala, in the wild & in captivity, but not always well-treated. Let us honour elephants, not epxloit them. — PolitiTweet.org

Shocked to learn from @amykazmin that India does not grant re-entry privileges to resident foreign journalists, whose visas are suspended if they leave India. Many Delhi-based foreign correspondents are stranded overseas. Reflects poorly on our democracy & respect for free press. — PolitiTweet.org

Those who incited and perpetrated the #bangaloreriots must be found, arrested & given exemplary punishment. But they are not to be equated with an entire community any more than thugs & vigilantes represent all Hindus. This also happened in Bangalore: — PolitiTweet.org
