Dear
@Kharge
sir, we are an independent news organisation -
@NEWJplus
covers all stories relevant to our Indian viewers. Here are some additional stories that Al Jazeera conveniently forgot to include in their reporting.
Reliance must explain why they have been funding the fake news via BJP's propaganda page on Facebook.
The deep lies funded by Reliance not only targeted
@INCIndia
&
@RahulGandhi
but also were intended to create communal disharmony in India!
Dear
@LinkedIn
, despite India being your largest market (69M+ users) outside of the US, not one Indian language is supported on LinkedIn?
I'm disappointed to see that while India supports LinkedIn, LinkedIn doesn't seem to be interested in supporting India.

क्षमाशील हो रिपु-समक्ष
तुम हुये विनत जितना ही
दुष्ट कौरवों ने तुमको
कायर समझा उतना ही।
अत्याचार सहन करने का
कुफल यही होता है
पौरुष का आतंक मनुज
कोमल होकर खोता है।
क्षमा शोभती उस भुजंग को
जिसके पास गरल हो
उसको क्या जो दंतहीन
विषरहित, विनीत, सरल हो।
