The Truth! The Strongest Ever against the whole Dreaded British Empire in those times. If only we had a Gandhi today. The world would have been much different. #GandhiJayanthi
I AM BEING DETAINED...
along with 150 padyatris
at Delhi Border, by a police force of 100s some say 1,000.
Many elderly men & women in their 80s and few dozen Army veterans...
Our fate is unknown.
We were on a most peaceful march to Bapu’s Samadhi... in the largest democracy in the world, the mother of democracy...
Hai Ram!

@beemji, I’m a huge fan! Please consider making a film on Karamchedu massacre 1985: 6 deaths, 3 rapes & hundreds displaced. Your storytelling can spark crucial conversations & promote social change. #KaramcheduMassacre#DalitRights#SocialJustice
Dear @IndiGo6E ,
1. What is this 'Cute Fee'? Do you charge users for being cute? Or do you charge because you believe that your aeroplanes are cute?
2. What is this 'User Development Fee'? How do you develop me when I travel in your aeroplane?
3. What is this 'Aviation Security Fee'? Am I not paying taxes to the Government for ensuring my safety when I travel? Or has @MoCA_GoI outsourced aviation security to businesses?
Kindly respond, because ye tum logo ka zyada ho raha hai ab.
Kanpur police arrested 70-year-old Mukhtar for sexually abusing a 7-year-old girl. There is a viral video of him trying to rape the kid. HE DESERVES THE HARSHEST PUNISHMENT.
PASHMINA MARCH ACHIEVES PURPOSE BEFORE IT STARTS...
People of Ladakh have been fasting in protest for the last 32 days. These have happened in the most peaceful ways through prayers & fasts.
The purpose of the Pashmina March was to highlight the plight of the Changpa nomadic tribes who are losing thousands of sq kms of their land due to Chinese incursion in the north and our own corporates in the south.
This purpose seems already fulfilled even before the March began due to the suppression attempts & overreaction of the Government with the imposition of Section 144, curtailment of internet and restrictions on movement by turning Leh into a war-like zone with armed barricades on all roads leading to Leh city.
Under these circumstances chances of violence are very high, which could then be used to lable this peaceful movement anti-national.
In view of these developments and the fact that the whole nation now knows about the reality of our pasturelands at the borders, the leaders of the Apex Body today decided to call off the Pashmina March on 7th April.
The ongoing peaceful fast will however continue. We thank all the leaders and people who came here from different parts of the country.
Apex Body and Sonam Wangchuk

LEH IS BEING TURNED INTO A WAR ZONE
with disproportionate force, barricades, smoke grenades.
Attempts to arrest peaceful youth leaders even singers continue. Seems they want to turn a most peaceful movement violent & then brand Ladakhis as anti-nationals.
Govt seems worried only about Ladakh's effects on their votes and on mining lobbies... not the people here nor even national security.
Let's raise our voice, let's make... #RavivaarRashtraKeNaam #SundaysForTheNation

Do please join Ladakh on Sunday 7th April.
While we do the Changthang Pashmina March to the BORDERS. , you all can do your own Marches to show 'Destruction in the name of Development' in your own areas.

END 21st Day OF MY #CLIMATEFAST
I'll be back...
7000 people gathered today.
It was the end of the 1st leg of my fast. Btw 21 days was the longest fast Gandhi ji kept.
From tomorrow women's groups of Ladakh will take it forward with a 10 Days fast, then the youth, then the monks from monasteries... then me again n so on. The journey has only started.
But we still hope n trust we won't have to do all this. Sooner rather than later a sense of responsible leadership will arise in @narendramodi ji n @AmitShah ji

21st Day OF MY #CLIMATEFAST
350 people slept in - 10 °C. 5000 people in the day here.
But still not a word from the government.
We need statesmen of integrity, farsightedness & wisdom in this country & not just shortsighted characterless politicians. And I very much hope that @narendramodi ji & @AmitShah ji will soon prove that they are statesmen...

END OF DAY 20 OF #CLIMATEFAST

20th Day OF MY #CLIMATEFAST
3000 people fasting with me. But still not a word from the government.
Very unusual for a democracy... when 90% of the population have come out to remind the leaders of their promises and 100s have been on fast some for 20 days.
But we're very impressed by the public support nationwide... making up for the compromised mainstream media.

END OF DAY 19 OF #CLIMATEFAST
Today some 5000 people joined me here at Leh for day long fast and some 300 are sleeping here... for 3 to 10 days fast.
Today all over India, some 40 cities saw Friends of Ladakh events.
Ladakh it's people and its mountains & glaciers will remain ever grateful for this show of solidarity.
