2/2 If LOT does a Tvm-Warsaw direct flight w/connectivity to all other European cities, it would be a big sell for anyone from southern India going to Europe. Esp since LOT is a full-service airline with a business class, but is significantly cheaper than the competition.Win-win! — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

1/2 Met Polish Ambassador Adam Burakowski who agrees that Trivandrum represents an untapped opportunity for the Polish airline LOT (which starts operations in India with a direct Warsaw-Delhi-Warsaw flight on Sept 12). He’s read one of my novels in Polish translation &visitedTvm! https://t.co/jsFIvCmQeU — PolitiTweet.org

Yes, I did in person. I am sure he was instrumental in arranging this meeting just as he got Kerala MPs together over dinner last month to discuss various issues. Looking forward to @VMBJP putting together more such meetings w/Ministers to sensitize them to Kerala's interests. — PolitiTweet.org

@HardeepSPuri I also urged the Minister to extend the Udaan scheme beyond under-served airports to under-served routes, e.g. there are no flights TRV-CJB, so one's choice is to take a ten hour road or rail journey or fly via Chennai as @KeralaGovernor frequently has to!Also rvw PaxServiceFees. — PolitiTweet.org

@KTSKavi 5/5 I do hope that the Rajasthan Assembly enacts it soon and shows the way for the rest of the States to fight vigilante groups & eliminate lynching. @ashokgehlot51 @SachinPilot Other progressive states should follow Rajasthan's example! — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

@KTSKavi 4/5 The substantive changes were made due to the brilliant efforts of my former legislative aide, Adv.ArvindAbraham, who has since left for Harvard to produce more hard work! I am glad to note that the Rajasthan Protection from Lynching Bill incorporates 90% of our revised Bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

@KTSKavi 3/5 The rights of victims during the trial were strengthened. The revised Bill that Mr Tulsi &I submitted to Parliament even gave 2 mandates to the Govt: to provide accommodation for those displaced &to set up relief camps in the event of mass displacement. — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

@KTSKavi However, we revised the Bill to substantially strengthen it. The term ‘lynching’ was re-defined as a violence perpetrated on specific grounds such as religion, caste, sex, dietary grounds, ethnicity etc. It defined 'hostile environment', 'offensive material' & 'witness' clearly. — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

1/5 Congrats to Rajasthan on its anti-lynching Bill. The fight's been long. In July, 2017, civil society groups produced the MASUKA Bill, which provided a framework to fight the rising menace of mob lynching. @KTSKavi &I planned to submit this Bill in both houses of Parliament, — PolitiTweet.org

The #UnnaoCase is a wake-up call for all political parties. Politics cannot be a safe hiding space for criminals. Parties MUST take stringent action against criminal elements. No criminal shld be allowed membership in any party,let alone be an MLA/MP. Leaders must lead strongly! — PolitiTweet.org

For my critics:A loss of innocence connotes the end of our illusions about the world. A child believes the world is a safe&loving place, because she has that at home. Then she is bullied,attacked,mugged, or raped,&she can no longer trust;she fears people. She loses her innocence. — PolitiTweet.org
