Now why can't an enterprising desi do one of CM Narendra Modi interviewing PM Narendra Modi? The challenge, I suppose, is that even if you were trying to edit previous videos, you won’t be able to do this for our PM. You'd need REAL INTERVIEWS for that, & he doesn't do any. — PolitiTweet.org

One more piece along the same lines: https://t.co/oforkROuDQ It is disgraceful that someone's petty politics can force a Minister to overrule the considered judgement of a dozen respected members of the Institute Body, incl his own Secretary, who strongly endorsed the extension — PolitiTweet.org

Kashmir can only be resolved by "working with the Indians of J&K and Ladakh in making democracy and secularism real for them", argues Wajahat Habibullah in this strong & deeply-felt article: https://t.co/6Ar6oNE7Qr — PolitiTweet.org

Might the Zend-Avesta of the Parsis offer a historic case for "cosmopolitan piety": holding your own faith as sacred& true while respecting the sacred truths of other faiths? Fascinating article! https://t.co/GHht0Gx9qY — PolitiTweet.org

Back to Kashmir: a remarkable interview by Karan Thapar with a former Intelligence Bureau official, Avinash Mohananey, argues that it wasn't Art 370 that created separatism, but the trampling of democracy there: https://t.co/rOf0RmoFZ0 — PolitiTweet.org

And to those Muslims who tell me they feel let down by @INCIndia, pl.check what the Holy Quran says in ch.60, verses 8& 9: https://t.co/B4RIeozTvG Who exactly betrayed you? Not those who stand for an inclusive India, who have neither attacked you nor preached hatred against you. — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

To those who insist there is no difference between the political parties in India, I ask: is there is no difference between those who would respectfully have come to an accommodation with the Muslim community on a Ram mandir, & those who, with rage & hate, destroyed the mosque? — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

Some Left-liberal intellectuals are accusing @INCIndia of being BJP-Lite. Yes, many leaders welcomed the Ram temple after the SC judgement. But they did NOT instigate Hindus against Muslims.They did NOT make hate speeches against the Muslim community.They hailed the ideal Ramji. — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

Whatever you feel about today's events, the Masjid's demolition is a blot on our conscience. As @RahulGandhi said in 2007, "My father said to my mother that he would stand in front of Babri Masjid. They would have had to kill him first”. https://t.co/lwzQmfXpSw — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

At the same time it was NOT Rajiv Gandhi who ordered opening of the locks at the masjid, but the district judge of Faizabad who ordered the locks to be opened in 1986‼️ Official link of Supreme Court given below states that clearly on page 476. https://t.co/XKBLnD38nF — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

Let's be clear: @INCIndia was NEVER opposed to the construction of a Ram temple in Ayodhya, but to the criminal demolition of the BabriMasjid. In 1989, Rajiv Gandhiji allowed VHP to do shilanyas on non-disputed land nearby as an alternate site: https://t.co/G7CvshxxHM — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

The universal appeal of Ram & SanatanDharma cannot be commandeered by those who chant either hymns or slogans. He belongs to all humanity. For Hindutva, Ram is a God to be worshipped; for Gandhiji Ram represented ideal qualities that every person should practise &seek to emulate. — PolitiTweet.org
