Mr. Musk, yes, no billionaire should dictate a nation’s policy - Indian or American.

India must welcome competition in satellite internet, from Indian and global providers, whoever offers the most practical and affordable last-mile solution for those in remote regions. In countries with lower per-capita incomes, satellite internet must be affordable too. High subscription fees and equipment costs risk putting it beyond the reach of ordinary households. Connectivity must bridge the digital divide, not create a new one.

India knows our networks and spectrum are strategic infrastructure, not merely commercial assets. India’s national security safeguards are non-negotiable.

Every country makes choices based on its own interests. Those in the West cannot preach free markets while practicing protectionism at home. USA imposed 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs to protect its domestic industry, just as India takes measures to protect its own domestic manufacturers. Both India and the US have restricted Huawei over security concerns. One cannot demand a level playing field from others only when it suits its own agenda.

Indians will internally debate, question and address our strengths and shortcomings as a democratic country.

Take BharatNet, India’s programme to bring broadband to village-level local bodies. We will question why, as the CAG’s 2026 audit report found, the programme is struggling to meet its original objectives. Why were only 33.2% of service-ready Gram Panchayats operational, despite ₹39,888 crore being spent? At the same time, we know to appreciate our telecom sector and regulations, which has made internet data among the world’s most affordable, bringing millions online.

India is a democracy, not a colony. We welcome the world, but we, the Indian people, will decide our own future - not Western vested interests, their double standards or any billionaire - Indian or American.

Today, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Thiru @TVKVijayHQ announced in the assembly that the TN Government has decided to cancel the Parandur Airport Project. TN CM mentioned that certain sites are under consideration, but it would have been helpful if he had also proposed a new site for the second airport near Chennai, as the delay in identifying its location has set the state's development back by at least 10 years.

This announcement of the cancellation of the new airport project carries an opportunity cost that the State Government needs to consider carefully. Even if the TN Government chooses to move forward with a second airport instead of Parandur through an administrative decision soon, finding a site, taking approval from the Central Government and statutory bodies, issuing tenders, acquiring land, and securing licenses could take at least ten years before the airport becomes operational. Meanwhile, other States would be advancing, leaving us behind.

We should first accept that the current airport in Chennai is insufficient even by today's standards. Chennai’s airport spans a 1300-acre land parcel; Hyderabad's airport spans approximately 5,500 acres; Bengaluru's spans 4000 acres; Navi Mumbai's is built on 2866 acres; and Delhi airport spans 5100 acres. With such a small space, the current airport in Chennai should ideally offer a better customer experience, but taking local transport from the arrivals area is a nightmare today.

Chennai was once the gateway of South India. Today, Chennai airport ranks 5th in total passenger-handling capacity, with a capacity of 30 million passengers per year. Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad are above Chennai on this table. The present Chennai airport is not classified as a Code F airport due to inadequate taxiways and aerobridges, which make landing large aircraft such as the A380 unsuitable at Chennai. In the South, the Bengaluru and Hyderabad airports can handle large aircraft.

Considering the above, I request the TN Govt to accelerate the process of identifying a suitable location for the 2nd airport in Chennai at the earliest, as delays in site identification could push us well beyond 10 years. Parties may come and go. Governments will change. But 20 years later, when the people of Tamil Nadu look back, they should not feel suffocated by a sick building that we would still call an airport, because the administrators of the day lacked the ability to forecast.

Also, in March this year, news reports stated that the TN Govt had acquired 1,700 acres for the Parandur airport project, out of the 5,746 acres needed. What does the State govt now intend to do with this acquired land?

Perfectly explained on why Chennai needs a new airport, rather than relying on the argument of expanding or developing other airports instead!! ✈️

உயரட்டும் கருப்புக்கொடி!
தமிழ்நாடு போராடும்! தமிழ்நாடு வெல்லும்!

இந்தியாவின் வளர்ச்சிக்காகப் பாடுபட்ட குற்றத்துக்காக தமிழ்நாடு உள்ளிட்ட தென்மாநிலங்களுக்குத் தண்டனையா?

ஒன்றிய பா.ஜ.க. அரசு நாளை நாடாளுமன்றத்தில் கொண்டுவரவுள்ள #Delimitation சட்டத்திருத்தம் தமிழ்நாட்டுக்கும், தென்மாநிலங்களுக்கும் இழைக்கப்படும் “மாபெரும் வரலாற்று அநீதி”!

விந்திய மலைக்குத் தெற்கே உள்ள தென்னிந்தியர் ஒவ்வொருவரும் கொதித்துப் போயிருக்கிறோம். நெருப்போடு விளையாடுகிறது பா.ஜ.க.!

தொகுதி மறுவரையறைக்கு எதிராகத் தமிழ்நாடு முழுவதும் வீடுகளிலும், பொது இடங்களிலும் கருப்புக் கொடி ஏற்றும் போராட்டம் நாளை நடக்கும்.

தமிழ்நாட்டின் குரலை மதித்து ஒன்றிய அரசு பின்வாங்கவில்லை என்றால், அதற்கான விளைவுகளை நீங்கள் சந்திக்க வேண்டி இருக்கும். இதற்காக, மிகப் பெரிய விலையை நீங்கள் கொடுக்க வேண்டி இருக்கும்!

தி.மு.க. தலைவராக, அனைத்துக்கும் மேல் சுயமரியாதையுள்ள தமிழனாக மீண்டும் எச்சரிக்கிறேன்!

Let the black flags rise!
#TNWillFightTNWillWin

🏴 Punishment for contributing to India’s progress? Is this how Tamil Nadu and the southern states are repaid?

🏴 The #Delimitation amendment the Union BJP government plans to bring in Parliament tomorrow is a massive historic injustice against Tamil Nadu and the southern states.

🏴 Every South Indian south of the Vindhyas is seething with anger. The BJP is playing with fire.

🏴 Across Tamil Nadu, black flags will rise from homes and public spaces tomorrow in protest against delimitation.

🏴 If the Union government refuses to respect Tamil Nadu’s voice and step back, you will face the consequences. The price you will pay will be heavy.

🏴 As President of the DMK, and above all as a self respecting Tamil, this is my stern warning.

[M.K.Stalin @mkstalin]

Hon’ble Prime Minister, this is Tamil Nadu’s final warning.

மாண்புமிகு பிரதமர் அவர்களே, இது தமிழ்நாட்டின் இறுதி எச்சரிக்கை!

@tata_cars @MHI_GoI Bought a new Tata Nexon from SGA Tata Motors, Coimbatore, and minutes later, there's a loud noise and oil leak from the front wheel. How does a brandnew vehicle pass inspection with a damaged axle or suspension? Also informed them in Private DM 2 days back there is no response.

🚨 India’s teen sprint star Abhinaya Rajarajan struggles to find sponsors!

At just 18, she holds the U20 100m NR (11.54s), bagged Silver at the Senior Fed Cup & delivered a stunning 3rd leg in the 4x100m relay final at #AsianAthleticsChampionships2025 — helping India clinch silver in her senior international debut!

She's been consistent since 2022 — medals, records, personal bests — yet no sponsor.

Will support only come after the big medal? What about when it’s needed most? 😑
