Long Thread

This has not been easy to write. My stint at Newslaundry was one of the worst times of my life. I dreaded going to an office where so many times I would be the only woman working. Heck, the office I worked out of didn't even have a woman's washroom when I was there

Apparently, a uniform set of laws for all citizens is good for Britain but somehow not for India. A very interesting view from @TheEconomist

I always thought Rahul Gandhi was incompetent. Today he demonstrated something uglier: a breathtaking absence of class.

Mock Modi all you want. Attack his policies, his politics, his foreign policy, mercilessly, if you can make the argument. But dragging Giorgia Meloni into a juvenile innuendo and laughing along reduces the Prime Minister of Italy from a serious elected leader to a prop in a cheap boys’ joke.

That isn’t wit. It isn’t political satire. And it certainly isn’t statesmanship.

The most revealing thing about such jokes is not what they say about Modi or Meloni. It is what they reveal about the men making them, their instinctive attitude towards women, their intellectual shallowness and the level to which they are willing to drag political discourse for a few laughs.

India deserves an opposition capable of intellectually dismantling the government when it gets things wrong. Instead, its Leader of Opposition stands on a stage laughing at schoolboy innuendo involving the female Prime Minister of a friendly country.

You cannot manufacture class. Today made that painfully obvious.

Shabana Azmi, chairperson of the British Christian NGO 'ActionAid' in India that receives more than ₹85~₹100 crore in foreign funding every year. Deep State has started fresher notoriety on July 20 - the beginning of monsoon season to actualize regime change plot and push India towards absolute anarchy. Deep State clowns will intensify notoriety as they are mad at Foreign Contributions Regulation Act (FCRA).

I am humbly calling upon Indian media, think-tanks and nationalist forces to raise voice against these foreign mercenaries.

Never thought I’d find this gem.
Arundhati Roy exposing the World Bank, Ford Foundation, Rockefeller, and Arvind Kejriwal.
Fascinating blast from the past.

A shocking and highly volatile video has surfaced from the heart of New Delhi, capturing the exact moment aggressive CJP protesters forcefully broke through heavy police barricades as their high-stakes 'Chalo Sansad' march heads directly toward the Parliament building!

[Vaishali Poddar Singh @PoddarVaishali]

This is the clearest video yet.

It appears that police personnel were being assaulted right in front of Abhijeet Dipke.

The footage suggests that protesters attacked the police first, after which the lathi-charge followed.

[Raja Muneeb @RajaMuneeb]

Another visual of innocent peaceful protestors. See how peacefully they are toppling the police vehicle.

[Aditya Raj Kaul @AdityaRajKaul]

Several Delhi Police vehicles have been vandalised and shattered near CP, Janpath and Jantar Mantar by CJP protestors.

[Forum For IT Employees - FITE @FITEMaharashtra]

As PM Modi suggested Work From Home in his recent speech to help conserve fuel and reduce pressure during the energy crisis, the Central Government should immediately issue an official notification to companies to allow employees to work from home wherever possible.

Simply advising people is not enough, because employees do not have the authority to decide WFH policies — companies do.
A clear directive is needed to make this effective.

The Economist magazine is disappointed that India did not celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Mughal conquest of India. Oh, those ungrateful natives who do not celebrate the gift of civilisation. Who knows, they may even refuse to celebrate the Battle of Plassey. Dangerous trend.....

[meghnad (Nerds ka Parivaar) @Memeghnad]

Gurugram is a city that was primarily designed for the 'apolitical' privileged IT + consultant crowd. They throw money at a problem to make it go away.

So when the city collapses after a few hours of rain, their expensive cars drown and ubers don't come, they get so confused. Even when complaining online they will NEVER ever name or blame a single person in power. EVER.

Tomorrow when the rain stops & things go back to 'normal' they will forget about it.

[SUHEL SETH @Suhelseth]

You have to credit the @DC_Gurugram : as soon as it rains and floods, he tells us it has rained and flooded. Such post facto information is so heartwarming and endearing.

He also tells us to take a holiday the following day. When will they make such great men again? When?

[SUHEL SETH @Suhelseth]

On a serious note: Gurugram is done. Like you can’t imagine. The first bloke to ruin this was @mlkhattar and @NayabSainiBJP just can’t manage this situation. The @BJP4India needs some serious introspection. They’ve been running this state for 11 years now. You can’t blame Nehru.

India actively participated at the 2nd #G20 Anti-Corruption Working Group Meeting held from 09 – 12th June 2025 in Brasília, Brazil — contributing to key discussions on managing confiscated assets and advancing transparency, integrity and accountability in the public sector.

STRATEGIC SOVEREIGNTY VS STRATEGIC DEPENDENCY

Let's wrap up Sindoor and Bunayan Al Marsoos for now.

India is thanking its forces, its system, its economy, its people, and its leaders for engendering a new deterrence and elevating the challenge too costly for Pakistan to dare another adventure.

Pakistan, on the other hand, is thanking ever country and organization except India for "defusing the tension" and ending the blackout in Pakistan.

One is thankful for strategic sovereignty, and the other is indebted to strategic dependency.

[Waleed 007 🇵🇰🇨🇦 @waleedhuyaar07]

If our forces destroyed the Indian S-400 (what they claimed in briefer) then what is this ? This picture was taken recently after the war.
One more false stat burst which was given as lolipop to our innocent people who are celebrating this false victory.
