@iamadityas @ANI Minus a letterhead and the official stamp of the signatory, this paper has no legal validity.

@free_thinker Um, why are we so concerned about @GitanjaliAngmo? It's not that she's a stand-in for @Wangchuk66, or was even a hotshot at the protest at Jantar Mantar. Her regressiveness is surprising, but immaterial.

@iindrojit Bull. Stop spinning a sob story. You were just driven out to shouts of “Godimedia!” Of which your mediahouse is an exemplar. Suck it in and move on. The godimedia is getting a bollocking across the country. High time. Just suck it in, introspect, and self-repair.

@BJP4India You guys are rank idiots. First, you write a long tweet in Hindi about Bengal. Second, your video mashup is replete with images from outside Bengal. D'you think that this will escape the notice of the ām jonōtā?

@shanaka86 What does not compute about this impressive Hollywoodian fairytale: hundreds of troops and a score aircraft mobilised for an exfiltration best done covertly; the absurdity of landing heavy C-130s on quasidesert terrain; multiple expensive, cutting-edge aircraft pranged.

@jacksonhinkle To Türkiye, an untrustworthy NATO compatriot that is sending Azerbaijani oil to Israel via the Çeyhan port. (Azerbaijan supplies 45% of Israel's oil.) This is not a withdrawal. This is a relocation of US forces from a vulnerable zone to a protected zone—but just as close to Iran.

@Ryanmatta The pattern of the cream on top of the coffee remains the same before he takes a gulp and after.

@grok: How many US personnel have been killed in the ongoing war on Iran so far?

[Kajal Basu @_kajalbasu]

@grok: Did Iranians gather in massive numbers in Tehran chanting “Bibi joon” in support of Netanyahu?

[Kajal Basu @_kajalbasu]

@grok Did Prime Minister @narendramodi say that he, too, had once built a robot?

This is why @realDonaldTrump, a fossil-fuel fossil, attacked Venezuela. @NicolasMaduro being a drug czar is pure faff.

@NasirKhuehami These are not “fringe elements”. These are the state's saffron legionnaires.

[Kajal Basu @_kajalbasu]

@TheSincereDude So, a US citizen receives a US award for plugging a Trump brag. How does this negatively impact the Indian government?

[Kajal Basu @_kajalbasu]

@elonmusk Like Antifa, you're unrealistically influenced by 𝘝 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘝𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘢. A civilwar in the US is far more likely.

@sanjeevsanyal @Grokipedia is, surprisingly, wrong on every single count. Or maybe not so surprisingly. It has no exogenous mechanism to factcheck its effusions. For me, as a journalist, it's still @Wikipedia, warts and all, as an entry window to research.

[Kajal Basu @_kajalbasu]

@shanaka86 AI faff. 😂

[Kajal Basu @_kajalbasu]

On what grounds can @Olacabs charge extra after debiting from the Ola Wallet an amount that they themselves had raised? My Ola Wallet still has a substantial amount in it. The traffic wasn't extra-heavy, the route often taken. And no cancellation charges were overdue.

@chacchachoudhry You really need to phrase your words better. You were cleverly plugging your own book on the back of Amish Tripathi and Francesca Orsini. And managed to mislead a lot of people that you were criticising @authoramish (and quite rightly so). Low play, man.

@NAN_DINI_ Enjoy your Diwali.
