Received first copy of @IndiasWorld_mag and I am delighted to have subscribed to this brilliant IR journal.
Thanking @HappymonJacob for making it happen. Looking forward to contribute my bit to this brilliant endeavour.

Mohammad Irfan 💔
Hope life is kinder to him. So glad his voice got amplified

[Tushar Gupta @Tushar15]

They have scored a self-goal, and the only way to overcome it is to score big in the Parliament on two key issues. FCRA and the 131st. They have the numbers anyway. Two victories, and all of this will be instantly forgotten.

[Tushar Gupta @Tushar15]

CJP spokespersons on NDTV state that they want to take their movement to the grassroots. More agencies coming, more money for creators. The Instagramification of our politics is here. Obviously, they are going to rebrand AAP, but why see the obvious when you have 24x7 drama?

[Ajeet Bharti @ajeetbharti]

अब मोदी जी इसे जंतर मंतर खाली होते ही अस्वीकार कर दें कि नहीं ले रहा त्यागपत्र!

वैसे, तुम्हारी कब्र UGC के समय खुद गई थी। फिर CBSE ने उसे और गहरा किया। NEET तो उस पर डाली गई मिट्टी है। कितना समझाया था IGC से NEET तक, पर आपने वराहे के सूअर छोड़े मेरे ऊपर, AI से पोस्टरबाजी की, मिला क्या?

@Iyervval @ARanganathan72 @sushantsareen @Tushar15
Bizarre to have given the resignation!
It won’t stop here!

[Cockroach is Back @Cockroachisback]

CJP’s Demand Rooster Has Been Updated:

1. Dharmedra Pradhan must resign - ✅
2. Rs 1 Cr to the families of all students who died by suicide - Pending
3. No action against any of the student protesters - Pending
4. ⁠Public Apology From RAF & Delhi Police - Pending

Jantar Mantar & Entire Country Is Still Waiting On The Rest Of The Demands.

[Mehraj Bhat @TSOA_011]

An absolutely wrong precedent !
Govt gave in to street ( inclusive of anti-state elements)

[Tushar Gupta @Tushar15]

This won’t get the Parliament up and running, if this is what the BJP is hoping. Now, they’ll come for Nitin Gadkari, Amit Shah, and even Narendra Modi. Content creators and the agencies controlling them have been incentivised. It’s early Christmas for everyone. Stupendous!

Do you remember the price we paid for IC-814? Not immediately, but in the subsequent years? This is the exact same thing. Compound interest will accrue over the next few years. Brace yourselves.

[Mehraj Bhat @TSOA_011]

I concede that Govt gave in to the street!
@ajeetbharti was right, if the issue was dealt with, back when the @BJP4India didn’t listen to its own people, this would have never happened!
Now the onus is on @HMOIndia to nab those who had dreams of hurting the nation!
Godspeed!

[ANI @ANI]

Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigns.

"...To ensure that anti-national elements are not benefitted by the situation at Jantar Mantar and across the country, that the nation remains united, students in India do not get tangled in legal complexities and focus on their studies and their career, I have tendered my resignation to the Prime Minister..," reads the letter.

Let’s do a live program on the best memes!

[Mehraj Bhat @TSOA_011]

In the name of catchy titles, write anything on kashmir, @Iyervval @sushantsareen @ManojTiwariMP
“But this isn’t only Kashmir’s problem. The mountains of the wider Himalayan region hold the third-largest amount of frozen freshwater anywhere outside the North and South Poles.”

[The Diplomat @Diplomat_APAC]

Kashmir’s mountains are going to keep getting hotter whether anyone notices or not.

"Bring back the focus to the students"- The CJP Protests Stand at an Inflection Point and here are diverse and excellent perspectives with @YashoAzad @AkshayMarathe @Tushar15 @TSOA_011& Rishabh Shah of @iimunofficial- In full https://t.co/VH8gKPOMRi

[Mehraj Bhat @TSOA_011]

For Govt;
This isn’t IAC moment, (Anna moment)
Delhi CM could have been there initially,
A joint parliamentary delegation could have been sent,
SM is a force multiplier,(Instagram-ification)
What CJP is missing
A leadership,
A cohesive roadmap,
Not linear,
Loosely coordinated,

More strict actions against paper leaks to come in tomorrow’s Cabinet!

[कुशल मेहरा @kushal_mehra]

Good morning everyone. If you are a young kid reading me, I am once again begging you with folded hands to stay away from this street anarchy. Your parents love you a lot, and they invested a lot in your future.

Please do not ruin it for professional anarchists who are milking your emotional vulnerability. You may call me a paid government stooge or a BJP dalal. But trust me when I say this: I am one of the rare Indian content creators who actually takes no money from any political party. And I also know who does what.

I am begging you to stay away from this. Even if 100 of you have your lives ruined because of police action, I feel it is a disaster. So please, this is my third request.

[कुशल मेहरा @kushal_mehra]

India does not have an unemployment crisis. India has an unemployability crisis. The reality no one wants to say because it will hurt sentiments. I say this as a man who ran a business where I hired people for two decades.

[barkha dutt @BDUTT]

"Govt missed the Window for an Olive Branch"- says @RajatSethi86; @barugaru1 calls it "incompetence of leadership"; @AnishGawande says "no good faith off-ramp offered by Govt"; @neerajkumarexcp asks "Why was police put in an this position"- In full here https://t.co/YaIpk5SP9E

[JAVED IQBAL SHAH @JAVED0909]

Forget the bills. Whosesale BJP buy-out manipulation, buy one buy all, has come full circle. Too many Chanakyas have actually ensured that half of today's BJP comprises of flight-risk, opportunist ED, CBI, IT fugitives.

The "glorious isolation" tenet that laid foundation for BJP's evolution was traded by corporate practitioners @AmitShah & @narendramodi to corrode its very essence & character. Reduced it to being the refuge of ultimate non-recyclable political waste from Kashmir to Kanyakumari. @Sanjay_Dixit @Iyervval @AbhinavAgarwal @sushantsareen @AartiTikoo @ruchirsharma_1 @NKapoor2020 @rajnathsingh @nitin_gadkari

[JAVED IQBAL SHAH @JAVED0909]

Unprecedented desperation from @BJP4India as sycophants in party & Govt embarrass beleaguered PM Modi further. Pan-India "protests" by ruling BJP? A party in power protesting against the youth demanding accountability is pure irony? Against youth demanding their rights? Or the Opposition doing their job? A BJP that's on shopping spree buying thugs & thieves Pan-India expects the Opposition to renounce politics & do saintly charity?
