A person named Charan (twitter a/c charan_tweetz - deleted now) has been scamming people - it is estimated that he owes atleast 15 lakhs to tens of people - very hardworking and kind people, who fell for his scam.

You don't fully identify with her pain.
Not with you on this one.
Infact, you also identify with only 1% of the pain, like rest of us.
Plz don't forget the rapists still say it's nirbhaya's fault for being out late.
You don't identify with Asha Maas pain at all.

There's dignity in apologizing. You could have just done that at least. Instead of cooking up a story and peddling lies. Did you really have to pull down women to get a seat?! To get publicity?! Everything you say is negated through all videos available. You make me sad :(

Where is Telangana women's Commission?!
Where is the ONLY body responsible to look into implementation of laws/ policies to safeguard her legal and constitutional Rights?!

Telangana state women's commission
- Has no chairperson since June 2018
- Has more than 56% cases pending
- No annual reports since 2-3 years
- No website
We'd be grateful if you could direct our State to fulfill these basic responsibilities.
Jai Hind.

Dear Sir,
A 17 year old intermediate student was found dead on garimella padu railway track, Kothagudem. Many tweets say that she has been brutally raped and murdered.
Not RTing cuz we're not supposed to share images or the victim's real name.
Manusmriti says:
- women must forever depend only on fathers/ husbands/ sons
- widow women perform Sati/ marry husband's younger brother / austerity
- no one can marry a shudra woman except a shudra man
- wise men should marry women with no bodily defects
#CasteistAgnihotri
(1/n)
Manusmriti (the first Dharmashastra or legal constitution of Bharat) must be taught to every Indian child so that they understand the greatness of Hindu way of thought.
The reason a lot of people aren’t proud of our past is because they don’t know their real roots.
City buses are the safest and cheapest form of transport.
Right?
Unfortunately, not as safe as they should be.
Almost every woman i know who has used a TSRTC bus has either been harassed/ molested or knows someone who has been. >>

- vacant since 16 months
- over 150+ cases pending with WC
- only body responsible for policy recommendations

I know 💯 that it's going to be fun. So much over confidence that I'm prepared for any possible embarrassment.
What if my mum says,
"This feminist daughter is all talk and does no work at home?!" :P
Out of curiosity, sir, does this message apply only to citizens or public representatives also.
Cuz, a certain MLA from Telangana has some questionable content everyday. And, he doesn't spare police either in them.
Just asking, sir.
Be very cautious before posting anything on Social Media. Last night there was violence in Banglore because of such social media post. We will take very firm legal action for any irresponsible post. We can not allow under any circumstances our city to get bad name.
He would always pretend that it was an urgent need, with promises of returning almost immediately, extreme emergency where he cant explain the situation but needs money for life saving purposes, name-dropped famous/ credible people and whatnot.
Do NOT fall for it.
Our team has already completed the
#CallYourMP

"please stay on call"
A line I have heard numerous times, all my life. Heard stories of women pretending to be on call during travel.
Why?! Why should women feel unsafe?!
After this, we'll be asked, stay safe, keep calling.
I ask, what are you doing to make it safer?!!!

Btw, its not to say he did not help anybody. He must have helped a few - but at whose cost? why?
Sad that just beacuse of one person - we now will face more challenges in trusting/ collaborating/ fundraising.
