@MrSinha_ At last. What a relief. I was wondering why it was taking so long to find someone else to blame for the tragedy. Now an opposition political party has been found. Next it will be a particular religion. This Mr Sinha is such a predictable genius.

@DrRajeshPatil20 @dr_tushar_mehta @DelhiAirport I was wondering when someone would give a religious angle to this unfortunate episode. Didn’t have to wait long.

@MrSinha_ @Bhupendrapbjp @sanghaviharsh The cruel delight in this tweet & in the comments on it is painful. This pious cheering of the destruction of other people’s supposedly ‘illegal’ homes is sick. But nothing illegal about gated communities occupying public land for parking & other activities I guess.

@patralekha2011 Patralekha, this is spot on. I have been twice to Vietnam & noticed the same things - a willingness to commemorate the past while letting go of it at the same time; a warmth &friendliness consistent with its social development indicators. The best holidaysI had were there.

@ARanganathan72 Never forget, never forget, never forget. This broken LP chap wants us to have elephantine memories, but only for anything that can feed his toxic ecosystem!

@saliltripathi It’s a medieval country we’ve become. Fighting each day over ‘my religion is better than yours’ would be funny if there weren’t real lives and livelihoods at stake. Whataboutery about Bangladesh etc is even more tragic, when we could have been a role model for pluralism & peace.
