In India one can abuse a dictator #PMModi, curse #Sanatan & Hindus all the time but making misogynistic remarks on friend of #CMVijay‌ gets you arrested!!.... #Stalin & his blabbering son should have been reprimanded long ago...

[Shiv Aroor @ShivAroor]

Tamil Nadu voted for new politics. Udhayanidhi showed filthy misogyny isn’t dead. Vijay signalled new rules, zero tolerance. But police speeding to a rival’s doorstep also signalled TN’s old political playbook: V for Vendetta.

My take:

[A B @arupneo]

#Spain was the most deserving team of the #FifaWorldCup after beating both finalists of the previous #WorldCup... #Argentina & #France. #Tikitaka supremacy over #Messi & #Mbappé 🇪🇸⚽️🥅🏆

[FIFA World Cup @FIFAWorldCup]

Spain 🤝 Mexico City

After failing to win the #NobelPrize, now #Trump wants to interfere in #FIFAWorldCup2026 !! Asking FIFA to review the Red card decision by the referee is a bizarre misuse of power & makes a mockery of the @POTUS ⚽️🤡

[Sky News @SkyNews]

Donald Trump called FIFA chief Gianni Infantino on Wednesday to ask him to review the ban on U.S. forward Folarin Balogun, according to Sky's U.S. partner network NBC News, citing a source familiar with the phone conversation.

Balogun was due to serve an automatic one-game suspension and was set to miss the Round of 16 match against Belgium.

#UdhayanidhiStalin wanted to eradicate #SanatanDharma & called it dengue, malaria. In the #TamilNadu elections, voters obliterated DMK & CM Stalin. Very impressive victory by debutant #ThalapathyVijay, which no #Exitpoll predicted🤔

[Anand Ranganathan @ARanganathan72]

DMK has been eradicated.

Historic verdict in #WestBengalPolls2026 for #PMModi & BJP as they achieve 2/3rd majority!! Too much Mu$lim appeasement, contempt for Hindus, poor governance & illegal Bangladeshis led to the downfall of #MamataBanerjee. Given she is 71, her political career is almost over🗳️🤔

Ironical that once Tagore wrote "Where the Mind is Without Fear," & now in #WestBengal #AxisMyIndia declines to release the #Exitpoll due to voters' fear & apprehension. This reflects a changing trend in these elections!! 🗳️

[IndiaToday @IndiaToday]

Why has Pradeep Gupta of #AxisMyIndia chosen not to predict or release numbers for the #WestBengal elections—is it caution, strategy, or something more?

Listen in as @PradeepGuptaAMI responds.

@VishalBhargava5 No political party is ideal & in elections, we are supposed to vote the most efficient & least corrupt among the given alternatives. If #TMC is reelected, #Bengal might become like Bangladesh; if BJP comes, it can be like new #UttarPradesh. Appearing nonpartisan won't help 🤔

[A B @arupneo]

#Trump calls India a #Deadeconomy earlier & now refers to it as #Hellhole but still wants to do a #Tradedeal !!....Such gibberish & juvenile slander does not suit @POTUS & his Ambassador should apologize to the World's largest democracy 🇮🇳

[Ambassador Sergio Gor @USAmbIndia]

Great discussion with @AmchamIndia Board to advance U.S.-India trade and investment ties. We are focused on a clear goal: taking U.S.-India trade to $500 billion by 2030. American companies operating in India are driving U.S. exports, expanding trade, attracting investment, and reinforcing the strength of our partnership.

[A B @arupneo]

It was a blunder by #Trump & @WhiteHouse to hold the peace talks in a rogue & terror nation like Pakistan, where a key stakeholder like #Israel couldn't participate. It looks the meeting of #JDVance with Iran leaders was more for optics than resolving the #Hormuz issue 🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷🤔

#IranWar‌ is a religious war between the 3 Abrahamic religions, going on for centuries. Dynast chaprasi @Jairam_Ramesh wants #PMModi to resolve conflict between USA, Iran & Israel rather than look after 1.5 billion Indians...no wonder @INCIndia is trounced by @narendramodi 🤡

[Jairam Ramesh @Jairam_Ramesh]

Why is the PM of India - who claims very special friendship with the US, Israel, Iran, and the Gulf countries and who also holds the BRICS+ Presidency this year - not in the picture at all during the ceasefire negotiations? How and why was India not pivotal during the ceasefire negotiations?

पापा ने वार रुकवा दी का क्या हुआ?

[A B @arupneo]

The superpower stature & aura of invincibility of the USA is over, thanks to the imprudent bravado of #Trump !! The #IranWar‌ turned out to be much more complex, lengthy & exorbitant for the Gulf region, Israel & America 🤔🇺🇸

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

BREAKING: President Trump says the US is in “serious discussions with a new and more reasonable regime to end our military operations in Iran.”

Trump also says that if a deal is not made, the US will “blow up and completely obliterate all of their electric generating plants, oil wells, Kharg Island, and possibly all desalinization plants.”

[A B @arupneo]

Looks like #Trump @POTUS had to yield to the pressure created by Gulf nations, Europe & his domestic voters to announce a temporary ceasefire !!...#IranWar‌ is a classic case of Game Theory in action where USA, UAE & other Arab countries had more to lose than a battered Iran 🤔💹

Absolutely reprehensible conduct by @INCIndia members at #AISummit !!...A dumb dynast like #RahulGandhi & his bootlickers can't contribute anything positively but want to tarnish India's reputation globally. They deserve belt treatment by #Modi @PMOIndia @DelhiPolice 🤡

The scale, impact & quality of #AIImpactSummit has overshadowed marquee events like Fintech Fest & Auto Expo, yet opposition parties & the troll ecosystem are fixated on the #Galgotia fiasco...Such #AISummit should be held across all metro cities in future💻🤖

[Anand Ranganathan @ARanganathan72]

644 AI technologies showcased. 41 CEOs of tech giants attending. A quarter of a million visitors. 326 exhibitors from 37 countries. 3 of India’s own LLMs unveiled. 1 fraud detected and dealt with.

The India AI Impact Summit is being mocked by China, Pakistan, and the Congress.

BREAKING: Trump says US and India agree to trade deal to lower tariffs, with Prime Minister Modi agreeing to spend $500 billion on US products and to stop buying Russian oil

[A B @arupneo]

If a rouge & terrorist country like #Pakistan is a member of the #BoardOfPeace, then the whole organisation is a sham!! All nations lacking self-respect & dependent on the USA have reluctantly joined just to flatter #Trump 🤡👎

[Clash Report @clashreport]

Trump on Board of Peace members:

They are friends of mine — let me see — yes, every one of them is a friend of mine.

Usually, I have a couple — maybe two or three — that I don’t like. But not this time. I actually like this entire group. Every single one of them. Can you believe it?

Usually, there are always two or three that I cannot stand, but I don’t see any of them up here. I like every one of these people.

[A B @arupneo]

Absolutely bizarre & Ironic that self-proclaimed "Peace President" #Trump has invaded #Venezuela & abducted #Maduro primarily to capture oil reserves!! The same USA lectures Russia & India to stop wars, funds a terror nation like Pakistan, & has reduced @UN to a puppet 🇻🇪🤡🛢️

[Visegrád 24 @visegrad24]

BREAKING:

Trump shared an edited video showing footage of the U.S. special operation that captured Maduro in Venezuela, set to the song “Fortunate Son.”
