Hello Hooman

Entangled in the thicket of legal clauses

[ANI @ANI]

Uttar Pradesh | The CM Yogi government has constituted a three-member SIT to investigate the alleged scam involving offerings made at the Ram Mandir. It was constituted by the government following a request from the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir Trust. The committee is to submit its preliminary and final reports as soon as possible.

1. Vijay Vishwas Pant, IAS, Divisional Commissioner, Lucknow
2. Kiran S, IPS, IG (Range)
3. Neel Ratan, Special Secretary, Finance

Deeply shocking to read this official US statement, which contains absolutely no expression of regret or condolence for the loss of innocent Indian lives. How can a “friend” and strategic partner be so deeply insensitive?

Why couldn’t a non-compliant commercial vessel have been stopped using other, non-lethal means? Is it not possible to disable a ship's propulsion or steering without firing missiles targeted to kill civilian crew members?

Practically every merchant ship navigating these crucial waters has Indian crew on board. Are they all considered fair game for US missiles now?

This approach is unacceptable and I hope @DrSJaishankar had said so to @marcorubio.

UN "condemns" attack on Settebello tanker in which Indian seafarers were killed. Spokesman for the UN Secretary-General, Stephane Dujarric:

[Hardeep Singh Puri @HardeepSPuri]

Deeply saddened by the shocking and untimely demise of the legendary shooter and coach Sh Jaspal Rana Ji. 

A prodigal talent, he made his debut at the age of 12 and went on to win numerous Gold medals at CWG, Asian Games and other prestigious international events in his highly successful career. He will be remembered for his immense contribution to Indian sports as a player and a coach.

I offer heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.
Om Shanti.

Baddi, Himachal Pradesh: A Hindu temple was attacked; its sacred idols were burnt and urinated upon by Muslims.

A Muslim child confesses that a Maulvi paid him and other Muslims to burn down all Hindu temples. He also called Hindus "Kafirs" and incited violence against them.

First, Iranian sailors were killed in your water, and you stayed silent, saying it wasn’t your men.

Now, your own sailors have been killed in Iranian water, and you may stay silent again, saying it wasn’t our waters.

A strong govt protects its people wherever they are. A weak government looks for excuses.

Using agencies like ED and CBI to instill fear is easy amongst your own citizens. Showing courage when citizens are harmed is what truly tests leadership.

In 1968

US attacked North Korea sailors

In response,

North Korea eliminated 1 US sailor and held 82 USA sailors hostage for more than 11 months.

Later,

USA formally issued an official apology to North Korea for securing release of 82 soldiers

Just reminding this to @MEAIndia and @DrSJaishankar

Just spoke to Rajesh Sharma, father of Sailor Aditya Sharma. He says, no one from authorities have reached out to them yet.

[Esmaeil Baqaei @IRIMFA_SPOX]

The brutal U.S. attacks on Indian commercial vessels which have killed at least three Indian nationals, stand as clear evidence of America’s ongoing policy of armed robbery and State piracy.

We extend our sympathies to the families and friends of the slain Indian sailors and offer our sincere condolences to the Indian people and government.

The international community must hold the United States accountable for its lawless conduct, which continues to threaten global peace and security while endangering the freedom of navigation.

🚨Exposed - Congress Helped China Snatch a Major Strategic Project from an Indian company.

In September 2024, Jairam Ramesh claimed that protests against the Adani proposal in Kenya could turn into anti-India anger. What actually happened over the next two years has now made one thing crystal clear Congress didn’t just oppose a deal, they actively worked against Indian interests to benefit China.

Hence proved that Congress is Anti-India. (Thread 1/4)

Deeply devastated by the tragic news from the Gulf of Oman. Three innocent Indian civilian seafarers — Patnala Suresh, Shivanand Chaurasiya, and Aditya Sharma — have lost their lives following a targeted US precision military strike on the commercial oil tanker, M/T Settebello.

These men were not combatants. They were civilian mariners doing their jobs, caught in the crossfire of a geopolitical standoff.

I strongly support the Government of India's swift and firm response in calling out this unacceptable overreach. By summoning the US Chargé d'Affaires to lodge a strong protest and forcefully raising the matter at the United Nations, New Delhi has made it clear that Indian lives are not acceptable “collateral damage”.

While the US enforces its maritime blockade, it must cease and desist from targeting commercial civilian infrastructure and crews. A military strike on an engine room, knowing civilians are on board, is unjustifiable.
Global maritime forces have plenty of non-lethal methods to intercept, redirect, or board non-compliant vessels. Resorting to missile strikes that kill civilian crews must stop immediately. Freedom of navigation must apply to the safety of the sailors who power global trade. I hope india firmly demands this of its US interlocutors since practically every ship in those waters carries Indian crew.

Our deepest prayers are with the bereaved families. We stand with you. 🕉️ शांति!

Owaisi attacks Modi Govt over death of 3 Indian sailors in US attack Off Oman Coast.

[Asaduddin Owaisi @asadowaisi]

The Modi government @narendramodi has repeatedly failed to protect the lives of Indians who are working as sailors and operating in international waters. This is the very first duty of the Indian government. It is sad and distressing that the prime minister has time for celebrations but not for condemning the US military for killing Indians.

MEA Spox Randhir Jaiswal says "attacks are coming from US side"; Points, "2 of the vessels are sanctioned ship, one of them non compliant ships"

[Hello Hooman @hello___hooman]

@sidhant What are we doing to make attackers of this ship, that's US, accountable?
