Of course the
#FarmerProtest
is political! How else, does a section of aggrieved people put their point across in a democracy ? Protests against any legislation, are inherently political.
Don't they deserve a hearing from the political leadership of the country?
Neeraj Chopra, is a farmer’s son. The Singh-trio of hockey, Dilpreet, Gurjant & Hardik - are all sons of our farmers, and so is Bajrang Punia. As we celebrate these medals, we must not forget the pain of our farmers who are protesting on the borders of New Delhi.

@RahulGandhi
’s speech today, why not do a constructive point by point rebuttal? I’m sure there’s access to lots of data. Unemployment figures. Employment generation figures. Whether Federalism, is operating in letter or in spirit .
It appears that the government has got what it wanted, from day one! It was waiting for an opportunity to show the entire protest in poor light, by design or default. Constant attempts at needling/provoking the protestors; undermining, subverting, debasing the protests. Sad.
With all due respect Sir, wasn't Indira Gandhi the first woman Defence Minister (when as PM she also held that portfolio ) ? Unless

Everything I am today is because of you. Yes, your genes. But more so your upbringing. Always teaching by example. Always leading from the front. .
Also, I'd like my own personal EVM. For souvenir purpose. Since so many replicas are being found in all kinds of places, wonder if I can get one in Chor Bazaar ?
Reallly? You're on Twitter. My husband's flying a plane bringing people back home as I type.💁🏻♀️ Every day for last few days, infact. Exposed to crowded places with no WFH option. Because 'essential' service. Till tonight.
Ended up watching the whole ‘speech’ btw, to get context, (since one is wary of bite sized-snippets).
I suspect the hit job will be counterproductive, as many who watched it out of curiosity will walk away impressed !
#unionofstates
Again.The same script. Single out Punjab. What divisive, dangerous narrative are they trying to set?
As if the protesting farmers of Haryana & UP are invisible. Telecom services in several districts of Haryana ( only voice calls on) have been restricted since the 29th of Jan !!
The protesting so-called 'farmers' are demanding the right to pollute the air, have drained Punjab of its ground water, use tons of chemicals produced by US corporate giants, and think climate threat is a hoax.
It pays to be in school, than out of it to preach flashy bunkum.
Very sad to hear about

Terrible turn of events in Punjab. I hope the perpetrators are apprehended swiftly.
The question remains, WHY??
The manner in which Arnab's case is being handled- circumnavigation of procedure, institutional over reach even some would say .. doesn't augur well.
Not for the press. Not for Maharashtra. Not for us.
Unndesirable precedent.

This is under the Zirakpur flyover, Patiala Road.
Sorry to disappoint you Ma'am.
No such plans.
Not sure about you, but for me not everything is not about politics! Clearly, the honourable PM agrees.
Good day. 🙏

remarks ?
Saw the video?
If yes, and still outraging- it's down to semantics.
If no, and outraging by reading click bait headlines, then you are no better than the propogandists who claim to fight.
#Haryana
Sir, that’s not technically possible . You see, our present Constitution has given us a parliamentary system . Not a presidential one. So the only way to vote for Modi ji is to vote in Varanasi, those who can’t- will need to find best possible candidates in their constituency🙏
Congratulations
@AamAadmiParty
on a fantastic, clean campaign. In the face of grave provocation and polarisation, you stayed the course and fought this election on the basis of the work you did. Bravo 👏.

The chrome though 🤦🏻♀️. This weather here I tell you!
“We cannot justify someone in uniform making a political statement on duty — whatever the provocation. This is a slippery slope, and what the meme makers, stand-up comics, artistes and others fail to realise is that they could also be on the receiving end of violence one day”
" there has been a concerted campaign to create an environment in which anyone who questions the government is immediately branded an anti-national. ..be it the glaring intelligence lapses in Pulwama, the lack of direction in Kashmir .. "

Happy 70th Birthday Papa♥️
Thank you for being my guiding light, and always teaching by example. I couldn’t have had a better role model growing up.
@rwac48
A violent mob marched in & out of a university. The police stood by & let them. Whether the mob comprised of 'leftist: goons or 'rightwing' goons- the utter failure of the law enforcement mechanism is what should really worry us.
The blood of these brave men though, is on the hands of those civilians in decision making positions, sadly.

So, how has the wedding season been treating you all? On line and off like ? 😁
Yesterday, on my way to attend a wedding in Patiala from Fatehgarh Saheb, we crossed 10 wedding set ups!
This is me at one, in our family 🙏
FIRs registered against Farm Union leaders, Look Out Notices issued; Deep Sidhu's name is conspicuous by its absence- despite him boasting of his exploits on social media! Despite him being seen in videos inciting the crowd.
Will the Home Ministry not take cognizance?
It didn’t however start with gas chambers
@raghav_chadha
. It started with concerted attempts by the elected government to demonise disagreeable folks.
And enabled by those who moved to the right, trying to find ‘centre’ in a rightwards shifting political spectrum.😔
Irrefutable evidence has come to fore. This video cleary shows how peaceful protestors were murdered by BJP's 'Laadla Beta.'
In Nazi Germany Jews were exterminated in gas chambers, in India under BJP farmers are mowed down by cars.
That we live in a country where even toddlers aren't safe, fills me with horror. That

But your singling out of Punjab, tells of the agenda and narrative you are attempt to set.

Thank you Sir for breaking ranks & calling out as insane members of your party & its affiliates, that have , since the beginning of the protests, been labelling Silkhs /farmers as Khalistanis /‘separatists’ .
It’s what one expects from one of our finest Generals . 🇮🇳
Gul, No sane person brands Sikh Community as you have said . Some bad elements in all communities tend to bring bad name . Such labelling not expected from an Army Brat except if AAP or political ambitions have brain washed you . Sikh community remains most honoured .
Happy Monday .
Hope your week is off to a flying start.
Mine is. In fact the day started with my son waking me up with “I LOVE YOU MAMA”. Fast forward to reaching my desk by 10.30 AM ( post bathing child, self ;feeding breakfast to child, self. Also feeding and walking dogs 🐕.

Considering I’m leaner and fitter than I have been in years....

@Gen_VKSingh
Sir, our democracy has room to accommodate varying political views, unfair and patronising to assume someone is ‘brainwashed’ for their views, without extending the same argument to one self . 🙏
My respect and regard for you, forbids me from saying more . 🙏
Engaging with those we disagree with, is the only way to broaden one's perspective. And the only way to avoid existing in an echo chamber.
On twitter that translates into following people who hold opinions different, even divergent, from one's own.
Denigrating someone for their profession is not in good taste. Electoral discourse needs to rise above this kind of talk. It needs to about real issues. Not personal attacks and whataboutery.

is coming to an end. We’ve learnt a lot from the perseverance, courage, unity & strength of the farmers.
But they’ve learnt a thing or two, as well. They’ve seen the true colours of our political parties. And know, who really stood with them, and who didn’t.
An important lesson I learnt when contesting the 2014 Lok Sabha from Chandigarh was that it is possible to run an effective campaign that is also a clean and positive – without personal attacks on opponents.
