IMPORTANT: Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh (Dera Sacha Sauda chief) granted parole once again, this time for 30 days. It’s the 16th time he has been out on parole since his conviction in August 2017.
He is serving a 20-year sentence for rape. Meanwhile likes of Umar Khaled have stayed in jail for almost 6 years without even a trial commencing. Yeh hai JUSTICE system: Wonder what our Lordships would pontificate on next! 🙏
Sharp Edge: I don’t like Raj era clubs and I will never become a member of one. So whatever happens to the Delhi Gym makes no difference to my life.
And yes it may be unfair to charge only a nominal rent to a club that mostly caters to
retired army officers & civil servants
But if you are talking about unfairness why stop at veterans? Why not throw ministers out of their huge houses? Why not take away their motorcades? Ground their private planes?
Today’s Lutyens elite comprises politicians who have run Lutyens Delhi for a decade and live in those huge Lutyens bungalows.Why pamper the new Lutyens elite and persecute soldiers who
have fought for our country and bureaucrats who gave their lives for India ?
Don’t swallow the propaganda & the lies. Don’t let political dadagiri extend to attacking veterans and retired civil servants while politicians live off honest tax payers

Latest IMF data show Bangladesh’s per capita GDP above India’s. This is shocking given that India used to have a clear lead, & Bangladesh has recently had a lot of turmoil. India must move away from creating slogans & headlines to implementing real policy.

Despite broad political consensus, why Women's Reservation doesn't necesarily help,and internal party reforms that actively seek more women candidates do- my piece from 2010, when another bill went through Parliament (RS), and global comparisons. Do read!

Hello @narendramodi - Your dramebaazi & your Godi media script will not hide truth- women’s reservation already passed in 2023 & notified 2 days ago. NOTHING stops you from implementing it now & giving 1/3 of 543 seats to women the way TMC has done.
This is NOT an issue that warrants the PM to address the nation. If he wanted to talk about it, the PM should have held a press conference, taken questions & put forth his govt’s stance. Not everything is an election speech.

During a night train journey through Punjab earlier in the week, I counted more than 50 instances for farm fires in my limited field of view. I counted 10 instances of farm

Unimaginable suffering in #Afghanistan with yet more earthquakes in Herat.
@WFP is on the ground responding, but funds are stretched thin.
We’ve already had to cut life-saving aid for 10m Afghans, and a bitter winter approaches.
We need help.
Millions of lives are at risk.
Continuing to mark #IDAFLW 🍎 we want to also shine a light on @BiomassTakachar: a #startup we’re supporting!
They produce machines that turn crop waste into fertilizer, putting the *was* into #FoodWaste and making it a thing of the past 🌾🚀 https://t.co/HleOkumdhs
Here's the 3rd idea of #GreenTalks2022. Takachar's patented portable device converts waste into fuel. Reduced logistics costs make it profitable. It helps reduce CO2 emissions too. What a great innovation to make sustainability profitable.

Today, at @AdaniGreenTalks 2022, my confidence in Indian entrepreneurs went up 100x. Five of India's top climate change companies building solutions to help green the world. More unicorns on the way. Celebrating our Indianness.
