What is wrong in this raid? The former CM and your leader only had told, after his swearing ceremony long back as CM, മടിയിൽ കനമുള്ളവനല്ലേ വഴിയേ ഭയക്കേണ്ടൂ എന്ന്. So if it is certain for you, that former CM is clean, why such fear and protest??!!

Stronglycondemn the brazen ED raids on senior leader and former Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.
This is yet another example of the systematic misuse of central agencies to harass and target political opponents. Such vindictive actions expose the authoritarian mindset.
Com Pinarayi n CPIM not be cowed down by these undemocratic tactics. CPIM fight back resolutely with the support of the people to defend democracy. It is clear that the Congress leadership actively encouraged the ED to target him, just as they did in the case of Arvind Kejriwal.

@BBCWorld Appeasing minorities by repeatedly insulting majority religious sentiments to win their opposition has badly backfired in Kerala. The same element would have happened in west bengal also, coupled with local issues. The article skillfully dodges minority appeasement

Today is #RajivGandhi’s 35th death anniversary. In March 2013 I became the first and till date, the only Indian journalist to visit the bunker of the man who ordered his assassination —  LTTE Chief Velupillai Prabhakaran.
I was then a reporter with @indiatoday magazine & granted rare access to the erstwhile LTTE-controlled northern region where thousands of LTTE fighters and civilians had died in the final phase of Eelam War IV in May 2009. We saw the exact spot, Nanthikadal, where Prabhakaran was gunned down by troops of the Sri Lankan Army’s 53rd division. Prabhakaran lay on his back on a patch of mud-soaked grass, eyes wide, his head blown open by a high-caliber weapon. The Lankan soldiers had shown Prabhakaran as much mercy as he had shown former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi at Sriperumbudur on May 21, 1991. 
For someone who had followed India’s fascinating and bloody entanglement in Sri Lanka through India Today magazine, and the exclusives of @ShekharGupta through the 1980s, this was a dream story. 
How did a print story become a TV exclusive ? I’ll admit to some journalistic sleight-of-hand here. The Sri Lankan authorities had cleared us to report a print story, but we also shot high-res video footage on  DSLR (standard-issue for print photographers). The story eventually played across all India Today group properties— TV, Mail Today and the magazine. 
Five months after our story broke, the Sri Lankan army filled the bunker with explosives and destroyed it. (The Headlines Today story — don’t miss the TV panel at the end moderated by @rahulkanwal— with @Swamy39 and G Parthasarathy).

There are a handful of things to thank the exploitative Dutch VOC (East India Company) for… uncovering these precious 900-yr old Chola Copper plates is one.
In Travancore, it was a young Dutch VOC captain Eustachius Benedictus de Lannoy, captured by the great Marthanda Varma’s army during the Battle of Colachel, went on to become General of the Travancore army. Modernised it, introduced firearms, raised infantry units, supervised fortifications, some of which stand till date…enabled tiny Travancore to resist Tipu’s invasions. One of the few kingdoms untouched by invasion.

Hi @manoramaonline - plagiarism is a crime. You have ripped off a satellite image we used in our report on an Iran AF aircraft at Nur Khan in Pak. The original image (which we edited) had an NDTV logo & a Vantor logo. You have produced an image that has both cropped. On left: your ripped off image. On right: the original. Please note, most satellite images are not hand-me-downs from a press release. Imagery analysis is a skill. But so is basic journalism.@ndtv

Question for all the Pakistan Aviation Enthusiasts - Does Pak currently operate a sand/desert camo C-130 ?

The continued illegal detention of Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Das in Bangladesh for the past eighteen months is deeply concerning. How much longer will he be subjected to such persecution? Is speaking up against attacks on Hindu minorities considered a crime? Is questioning violence and injustice the mistake he committed?

While those responsible for attacks on minorities, destruction of homes, and violence roam free, targeting a peaceful monk with vindictive intent exposes the alarming situation faced by Hindus and minorities in Bangladesh. Every humanitarian who believes in justice, democracy, and human rights must raise their voice against this injustice

If such incident happened to any minority individual in India, the global community would have reacted strongly by now. Even after a change in regime in Bangladesh, the atrocities, persecution, and targeted attacks against Hindu minorities, continue unabated, which is deeply alarming and unacceptable.

I urge the Government of Bangladesh and international human rights organisations to ensure the immediate release of Chinmoy Krishna Das Prabhu and safeguard the rights and dignity of minority communities - @PawanKalyan

[Pawan Kalyan @PawanKalyan]

500+ days in jail.
Bail denied. Again.

Chinmoy Krishna Das Prabhu, a spiritual leader and an ISKCON monk, continues to languish behind bars in Bangladesh while the world watches.

When even his lawyers are intimidated, threatened and silenced in court corridors, what justice are we even talking about?
Is advocating for the rights of the Minority Hindu community a crime? When a saffron-clad soul is treated like a criminal for raising his voice, the world CANNOT remain silent.

I appeal to the Government of Bangladesh to give medical aid and, more importantly, access to fair justice to Chinmoy Krishna Das Prabhu immediately. May he be granted bail at the earliest.

And to all the pseudo-secularists and Selective Human rights Activists around the World who flood timelines overnight, wave watermelons and trend hashtags on cue, your silence can be still heard. Apparently, your humanity has a filter.

For those who can understand the essence of this song 😜. Embarrassing fate of political Keralam !!

Will it be the PVNR decision? Not taking a decision is also a decision ever since last 3 days 😀

[Shiv Aroor @ShivAroor]

VCK decision at 4pm. 😅

[Anil Balakrishnan @akbhere]

Out of 2 seats won by Vijay, only 1 will count. But @TVKVijayHQ did reach SC 😜

[Shiv Aroor @ShivAroor]

Ok, it’s not over yet.

[Anil Balakrishnan @akbhere]

@VMBJP Sir, this triumph will be etched in stone. The effort put on ground, for more than 5 years have translated now to the most honourable representation in the state assembly. Way to go !!

What an extensive study panning geographies, energy lines, logistics ❤️ Great work @richimedhurst

[Richard Medhurst @richimedhurst]

The US are executing a global armed robbery of the world’s energy supply.

I’ve adapted my documentary, "Birth of the Petrogas-Dollar and the Pirate State," into a forensic written investigation. This is the most detailed audit you will find anywhere on current US geostrategy.

Chevron's replacement for Nord Stream, the sabotage of South Pars, and the blockade of the Arctic before the ice has even melted—it’s all in here.
