I voted. I got inked. I did not believe the people who said that indelible ink is washing off. So I tried nail polish remover - and magic - the mark is gone

Important speech by the PM tonight. “We will work for all, even those who did not vote for us”; says “we have to win the trust of minorities”. A statesmanlike speech by

, hopefully the BJP/ RSS cadre listened carefully. We analyse more on ‘The Big Fight’ at 8pm
Requesting
@ravishndtv
to check facts on his assertions on “sale of The Quint to Mr Advani” on
@thewire_in
. For the record: Adani does NOT have ANY ownership in The Quint. Journalistic due diligence was reqd or a google search
So proud of this relentless, strong journalism! The Quint Wins 3 Ramnath Goenka Awards for Excellence in Journalism: Relentless Coverage on Electoral Bonds, Lynchistan documentaries and Muzzafarnagar riots
The Quint turns 6 today. Independent, Innovating, questioning, investigating, fact checking, experimenting with videos, working with Citizen journalists … much done but so much more to do. A very Happy Birthday to all
@TheQuint
. And thank you for the incredible work.
Has
@twitterindia
issued a policy on holding back reports and visuals from the protests so as to not inflame sentiment? Why are visuals of peaceful protest being removed as well?

EC Pulled Down the Votes Polled Data After The Quint Demanded Answers: Mismatch In Votes Polled and Counted In EVM in Multiple Seats. The Quint investigates.
The question is not where the support is being sourced from by
@srinivasiyc
.. the question is why is the center not being able to provide the kind of support that he is.
In solidarity with
@srinivasiyc
. You have all the support and goodwill of the all the people you have touched during this dark time and those who have seen you stand up for the needy.
In support - vagina,vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina, vagina. Clearly people just did NOT get Anarkali of Arah! Or women!
Funny that people cannot get over the fact that a woman said Vagina! Funny that in a 2440 word article making fairly comprehensible arguments they only remember the word Vagina!!! 🙄 So... Vagina vagina vagina vagina vagina vagina...............vagina vagina VAGINA!!!!!
Thank you

ये पार्टी इतनी संवेदनहीन कैसे हो सकती है ? पुलवामा के अगले दिन भी अमित जी शहादत के नाम पर वोट मांग रहे थे । मोदीजी झांसी मे वोट मांग रहे थे । फिर photoshoot Corbett मे। कल surgical strike के बाद जश्न ? मीडिया सवाल पूछेगा नहीं । गज़ब का अहंकार ।
While we are amplifying any requests, SOS messages that we chance upon, can't stop thinking about digitally deprived communities and how they have nobody and nowhere to turn to. Allah rehamn kare, ab bas.

They are signalling the rise of a new Indian Muslim. Not afraid to look Muslim, and not shy of flaunting her nationalism. With a willingness to fight carrying the Constitution, the flag, the anthem, Ambedkar, Gandhi and the chant of ‘Hindustan Zindabad’. “

The real battle is not here on Twitter - it is in those parts of the country where internet has been shut down and where this filter bubble of talk and trolls doesn’t matter

- watched it with my mom. She said sex was not just a "haww" thing back then. That her father was born after his sister had had six children. My Masi's mother-in-law was pregnant when masi got engaged, and had her baby after the time she got married.
NDTV has been sued by Anil Ambani’s Reliance for 10,000 crores in an AHMEDABAD court. For our coverage of Rafale. We will fight this brazen attempt at harassment and intimidation.
Curious - why are most TV channels recycling last evening’s bulletins or feature shows when there are elected leaders under house arrest in J&K. Just surfed from NDTV to India Today to News18!
Remember the viral video of cops making wounded men sing the national anthem? One of them, Faizan (in the blue shirt) has died of his injuries.
Watch the heartbreaking account tonight

@TwitterIndia
we need you to be more transparent on how you deal with online abuse. Consider India’s linguistic diversity so that abuse in mixed language tweets can be detected. Ensure that women are not silenced for sharing their opinion.

Close to three lakh migrant workers in Karnataka have registered for Shramik train services, but less than a third managed to get tickets.
Many others continue the long walk home.

Sanju left me feeling very sad - not for “Baba” but for Hirani. Have had huge respect for him - but sanju’s craft was overstated, there was so much relish in the sexist/ misogynist “jokes”. Hirani has been the master of nuance, subtlety, slipping you a layered msg. What happened?

TMC got 48.5% votes. BJP got 37.4%. Hindu population in Bengal is 70%. Means almost half of Bengal Hindus didn't vote for BJP. But your fear of minorities has no cure.

But but under inspired leadership of Beloved Supreme Leader, India had beaten COVID in January 2021. What need to worry after that. Why can't Uttarakhand state elections 2022 and Hindu vote in other state elections be prioritised?
