Europe continues to buy 45% of its gas from Russia, even after the invasion. Germany: 55% of the natural gas, 52% of the coal & 34% of mineral oil used comes from Russia. But India must think about its place in history books if it buys Russian oil? The West’s hypocrisy stinks.

No isolation for covid +ve patients in the UK. @BorisJohnson scraps all restrictions. Classic populism to save his chair. Had an Asian/African country taken this anti-science step, the West would've pronounced it a danger to the world. In London it's a "moment of pride."

Oil war🧵 EU’s sanctions package on Russia will impact countries like India. EU is capping what other countries can pay for Russian oil. It bans the sale of oil above that price. This applies only to oil transported by sea. Won’t hurt EU members importing Russian oil by pipeline

PM Sheikh Hasina ousted, flees Bangladesh. Army takes over, names an interim govt minus the Awami League. Celebrations/chaos on the streets + the PM’s official residence. How did it come to this? What next for Dhaka? What does this mean for India? Watch Vantage tonight @firstpost

A man in Sweden tore the Quran, stomped on it, wrapped it with bacon and set it on fire. On Eid. In front of a mosque. This is not freedom of expression, it's a hate crime. Imagine something like this happening in India. The West would have been quick to fling labels -

The US Supreme Court has struck down abortion rights for women. #RoeVsWade overturned. At least half of American states are expected to ban abortion. This is a dark day in US history. So much for being the self-appointed global class monitor on human rights!

Can’t believe what just happened in France! A history teacher who recently showed caricatures of Prophet Mohammed in class has been beheaded near Paris. Prosecutors are treating it as a terror case. The terrorist has been shot dead by the police. @WIONews

Jaipur needs the urgent attention of its administrators. For a city which is among India’s most famous tourist hubs with such immense cultural heritage, its state of disrepair is deplorable. We can do better 🙏 @ashokgehlot51 @jdajaipur Ramcharan Bohara @SwachhBharatGov

Just spoke to @AmrullahSaleh2 . He says he was “offered evacuation & chartered flights by friendly countries but refused…because leaving would be disgrace, humiliation & historic shame, I did not want to be part of it.” Says Ghani’s “escape is a stain on the country.” @WIONews

Small things that feel like big wins. I was sent two photos this morning. A #GravitasPlus episode is being shown in a school orientation program. Encourages me and my team to do better, to tell stories that touch people. 🙏

Blockading democracy?! ‘Let me remind you,India will always be there to defend the rights of peaceful protesters.We believe in the process of dialogue. We’ve reached out…to highlight our concerns.This is a moment for all of us to pull together’ Welcome to Canada’s Singhu border

Canadians have the right to protest, to disagree with their government, and to make their voices heard. We’ll always protect that right. But let’s be clear: They don’t have the right to blockade our economy, or our democracy, or our fellow citizens’ daily lives. It has to stop.

This is a scam. A lot of you have shared these posts with me in the last few days. (Thanks for flagging!) My photos are being misused and such fraudulent ads are being circulated on Facebook. Despite complaints, @Meta has not taken action.
