#ArnabGoswami is not a free speech issue. Free speech is right to have an opinion. Even distasteful ones. But fake facts & inciting violence is not free speech. Muslims were not the lynchers. Sonia Gandhi did not support Sadhus’ murders. Goswami is an assault on every media norm.

India needs to invest in public funded, high quality, affordable health care, education, clean air and water. That is the minimum guarantee poor Indians need to build a proud life for themselves. Neither “basic income” nor #MinimumIncomeGuarantee will ensure either.

#LockdownNow panic rush buying everywhere. Imagine the high level of crowding and contact happening. PM Modi should have announced the protocol for buying medicines & groceries. Emphasising midnight as Lakshman Rekha has triggered panic. And what of those with no money to stock.

My family is down with Covid and I cannot emphasise enough the healing power of steaming. Everyone PLEASE steam even if you’re well. There are many videos about the breathing exercises put out by health professionals. It is really powerful. Please do it. Stay well.

The trolling of @SushmaSwaraj is a wake up call: The BJP IT cell needs a citizen committee inquiry. Should be taken to court. Whistleblowers have spoken out. Victims have complained. Yet nothing happens! How can a government and ruling party run a hate shop and get away with it.

Went to AIIMS yesterday for an emergency. And Pt Madan Mohan Malaviya Hospital in Delhi. A huge salute to government hospitals like this. And the doctors working there. Against all odds. Incredible service. Our public health system needs massive support.

Here’s what Delhi police—Delhi police—said in defence of Kapil Sharma, Parvesh Verma & Anurag Thakur in Court: Gaddar doesn’t refer to any particular section of society. Goli maaron saalon ko is not threat of any unlawful action. Was not a provocation to start a riot. #InsaneWorld

GDP down to 5%. Threat of war next door. A valley draped in silence. And zero political opposition. The story of India today. This is what happens when a country wants to be run by a Homo Deus instead of a PM.

Hope everyone will now stop applauding PM Modi’s style of ruling though spectacle: shutting 1.3 billion down in 4 hours without planning. We needed a step by step, thought through shutdown, not this brutal panic creation. Difficult time for any govt. But he just made it tougher.

This is journalism?A channel gets its facts wrong. Abuses the hardworking journalists who fact check it as a “petty website” with an “agenda against Modi”. And then the anchor abuses his guest for bringing the fact to his notice with a repeated “how dare you”. How dare you indeed

The pushback on gross misuse of CBI & flagrant abuse of Constitution by @BJP4India needed. But @MamataOfficial setting up bad precedents too. How can a top cop sit on a dharna with a CM? Where is the separation of power? Gross impropriety on all sides. Victim: Indian democracy

#JusticeforJayarajAndFenix This horrific story has to be a turning point. Over the last few months we have seen police mercilessly beat people. In this case, a magistrate turned two obviously tortured men back to the police. All of this over downing a shop shutter. Beyond tragic.

6% farmers have had MSP. 94% farmers are already subject to the volatility of the open market. The farm sector needs urgent overhaul. But what shape should that overhaul take? You were clear, concise and convincing @Devinder_Sharma have had wonderful feedback on your interview.

The @BJP4India govt is increasingly making it clear they’re defacto turning India into a religious republic. To offer refuge to only Hindu & Sikh Afghans in a crisis as terrible as the #Taliban takeover is sacrilege. Anti-constitutional & ironically so anti-Hindu too! Shameful!!
