URGENT:1/2 An chartered flight ex-Basra, coming to India to evacuate Iraqi students, will stop in Kochi on its way to Delhi to drop off evacuees. The organisers have generously donated 30 seats on this sector. Priority will be given to pregnant women, nurses & people in distress. — PolitiTweet.org

It is hard to escape the feeling that those in Govt who prefer to evade parliamentary oversight are behind the refusal to permit "virtual" committee meetings. Amazed that thePM can meet CMs by video but Committee deliberations cannot occur by the same means! Parliament MUST meet. — PolitiTweet.org

So I gave in& convened a physical meeting after domestic flights resumed last week. With two weeks' notice required, it was confirmed for June 10. Just enough MPs confirmed to constitute a quorum. But now DelhiGovt insists on quarantine for anyone arriving here, so MPs won't come — PolitiTweet.org

Agree 100% with MR Madhavan of @PRSLegislative that our Parliament has been missing in action during the #Covid19Pandemic: https://t.co/wlN83mxvEN Seven weeks after i asked for virtual committee meetings, permission has still not been granted, on grounds of confidentiality! — PolitiTweet.org

The crime was so cruel that it has shocked consciences worldwide. I am receiving emails & requests from around the globe to condemn it & punish the evildoers. The outrage is all the more intense because no one ever expected that such a thing would happen to wildlife in Kerala. — PolitiTweet.org
