I passionately believe that our country needs a genuinely liberal party headed by centrist professionals committed to inclusive politics and respectful of India’s pluralism. All who believe in the founding values of the Republic must work to strengthen @INCIndia not undermine it — PolitiTweet.org

An amusing candid paean to the newspaper, that endangered item in our locked-down lives: https://t.co/YJzYuFECpl — PolitiTweet.org

Lovely piece by @DalrympleWill about how India has opened his mind. Can't wait to read his next book, which sounds absolutely fascinating! [Ignore the cliched photo that @NationalGeoPicx chose to illustrate the piece, though] https://t.co/YtnzQ5BJej — PolitiTweet.org

This is a video of the warm reception given by the people of Poonthura to Health Workers today. They also apologized for the unfortunate incident that had occurred earlier. Let’s all move on. https://t.co/kdhaFpnc2H — PolitiTweet.org

Belated birthday wishes to my boyhood hero! No one not following cricket in 1970-71 can possibly understand how much he meant to us. SunilGavaskar widened the horizons of the possible for Indian cricket. He showed us that we could stand up to the mighty on their own turf—&win. https://t.co/jQS4C5xCkc — PolitiTweet.org

Excellent piece by @AdityaNSharma on the plight of foreign students (including many Indians) attending American colleges, who are badly affected by the US administration’s decision to change visa rules in light of some colleges’ decisions to go online for the fall semester. — PolitiTweet.org

Amid a post #Covid19 realignment of supply chains, can India devise a new digital version of the #Atmanirbharta mantra compatible with the latest version of globalisation? @samirsaran & @akhildeo94 think so: https://t.co/W69FiAUWW6 — PolitiTweet.org

The Commies never learn, & i don't give up. @CPIMKerala rag @DBIDaily repeats the same lies their sister channel @TheKairaliTV did. I have sent them a legal notice too (1st& last pages attached). Criminal & civil suits will follow. https://t.co/jLZCuAcc62 — PolitiTweet.org

That's my 5-point plan for the State Govt. I also renew my earlier appeal to the authorities to convert the old airport building in Shankumugham into a #Covid19 facility for the affected people of Poonthura&other nearby coastal villages rather than transporting them to Varkkala. — PolitiTweet.org

3.Compassionate behaviour and supportive approach from the Police 4. Supply of essential items using mobile Maveli Stores during specified timings, including facility for mobile ATMs 5. Distribution of provision kits for people who live on daily subsistence #PeaceForPoonthura — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

My 5-point appeal to State Govt for Poonthura: 1.Segregate the positive cases ward-wise (Poonthura, Manikyavilakom, Beemapalli, Ambalathara etc) 2. Provide proper care for patients according to the #Covid19 protocol. Communicate w/the people effectively to clear misunderstandings — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

Poonthura is in a densely populated area. 1000s of people are isolated there, w/no means to meet their daily needs including for food &medicine. Rather than pointing fingers at those suffering from pandemic restrictions, I appeal to the StateGovt to ensure the following urgently: — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

It is equally wrong to discriminate against or isolate our fellow citizens in Poonthura, mostly fisherfolk who braved their lives to save many during the 2018 Kerala floods. We need to support them in order to help them cope with the stress& pressure of the current situation. — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

I condemn the unpleasant incident that occurred yesterday at Poonthura against our selfless health workers,who are risking their own lives to save others. It is our responsibility as a society to protect them&provide them a safe working environment. What happened was regrettable. — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

This thread deals w/the unfortunate developments in & around Poonthura, a lovely fishing village that has become the centre of a #Covid19 controversy in Thiruvananthapuram district that erupted in a most unfortunate manner yesterday & earlier today. — PolitiTweet.org

2/2 In 2009 and 2014, I started my campaign with his personal blessings. Then we lost him, so in 2019 I visited his graveyard& honoured his memory before beginning my campaign. I truly miss his inspiring presence amidst our lives. #RememberingACharlesMP https://t.co/Lck0GiAWXh — PolitiTweet.org

1/2 On the occasion of becoming the longest serving MP of Thiruvananthapuram, I pay tribute to ACharles, my illustrious predecessor &our only other 3-term MP. He was an invaluable mentor&guide in my political life. His support went beyond words; he proposed my nomination in2014. https://t.co/WsBsknZ05u — PolitiTweet.org
