How ironical is this...making a payment to make a payment, from our pockets😐. Why does a people pro @PMOIndia, @nsitharaman @BJP4India need to do this? Is the govt going business way to replicate profit making services? 'larger good' or 'elite good'? What's motto @narendramodi?

Country heads are not meant to stay mum in external lands. Afterall they are the voice of a country, representing people of a nation beyond creating melodious moments.

[Tara Deshpande @Tara_Deshpande]

The year was 1985. Gorbachev had just been elected. The world didn’t know yet if this meant the end the cold war.
PM Rajiv Gandhi lands in the United States. Still just 40. Only 7 months into office. Critics barking at his door. He faced a US government deeply suspicious of Indo Soviet ties, an American public, contemptuous of socialism and a belligerent press.
Then Rajiv Gandhi did something very rare for a global press event. He took on the world’s press. Completely unscripted. When he was done he had changed the dynamic forever. He gave the world a new modern dynamic India, unafraid of the geopolitical transition the world was in. An India, the world had not seen before. A masterclass in diplomacy - read and be astounded-

Question : Mr. Prime Minister, India claims to be non-aligned, yet your first official trip abroad was to the Soviet Union, and you have consistently supported their positions. Isn't India actually tilted heavily towards Moscow..??

Rajiv Gandhi : We will not be tied to the apron strings of any major power. We do not lean left or right. India always stands up straight. We look at things on their merits. Our friendship with the Soviet Union is time tested. They have stood by us in times of need. But I don't think our friendship with one country should be at the cost of friendship with another.

Question: India has already detonated a nuclear device in 1974. With Pakistan reportedly developing a bomb, can you tell us plainly, does India currently have nuclear weapons, or are you secretly building one..??

Rajiv Gandhi : We do not have a nuclear bomb. We have no intention of making a nuclear bomb. We are a peaceful nation. But let me also make it clear that if we are forced into a corner, and if our security is threatened by a nuclear neighbor, we will have to rethink our options. But we hope it never comes to that point.

Question : India is a poor country that relies heavily on foreign aid. Yet, your government spends vast amounts of money on heavy military equipment and defense. How do you justify this to your citizens..??

Rajiv Gandhi : We do not want to spend a single paisa on defense that could otherwise go into building a school, a hospital, or a road. But look at our neighborhood. When highly sophisticated weapons, far beyond the legitimate defense needs of a country, are pumped into our region, we have no choice but to protect our borders. Security cannot be compromised for development, because without security, there is no development.

Question: In light of the horrific Union Carbide chemical disaster in Bhopal just a few months ago, do you feel American corporations cannot be trusted, and will this hurt US investments in India..??

Rajiv Gandhi : Bhopal was a terrible tragedy, and it showed a gross disregard for safety standards that would never be permitted even in the United States. There must be equal responsibility and accountability for human lives, whether in America or in India. However, this does not mean India is closing its doors to foreign technology. We want American technology and investments, but we also want corporations that respect our laws and our people.

Question : Did you bring any message to Washington from Palestine Liberation Organization leader Yasser Arafat.

Rajiv Gandhi : No, we have not brought any message from Arafat or anyone else. We try not to be messengers." PERIOD

Wrapped up January with a reading trio that hit different notes but sang the same tune: resilience amid chaos. From 80s/90s grit to wartime shadows and existential bugs..happy to start the year with an activity that I love the most 📚✨

[Nikhila Dave @nikhiladave]

This is the what we are breathing in @gupta_rekha @narendramodi @PMOIndia @BJP4Delhi @TOIIndiaNews Unfortunately neither the govt takes any action to make air breathable nor does media brings this health emergency at the forefront to force govt to act responsibly #AQIDelhiNCR

#VantageOnFirstpost: The World Bank had unveiled a $40 billion investment plan for Pakistan, calling it a “country partnership framework.”
This comes after the IMF approved a $1 billion bailout to Pakistan.

@palkisu tells you more.

[Shiv Aroor @ShivAroor]

The IMF, United Nations & IAEA are all sponsors or facilitators of Pakistani terrorism. Either by omission or commission, these global orgs have Indian blood on their hands.

Saying it out loud is a start.

I did on my show today:

[Sajid Yousuf Shah @TheSkandar]

This makes sense! @ShivAroor explained why today’s ceasefire happened beautifully in a quick 90-second video.

[Shiv Aroor @ShivAroor]

From confining the Pak Navy to harbour, to being fully prepped to bomb Karachi, from Pak Army casualties at the LoC to the PAF hiding behind civil airliners as human shields, my 5 big takeaways from today’s armed forces press briefing:

[Sunanda Roy 👑 @SaffronSunanda]

Every single man on earth must watch this video 🙏

This video and more videos like this must go viral globally.

It's our responsibility to tell the truth to the world and burst Pakistan's fake news propaganda narrative.

[ANI @ANI]

#WATCH | Delhi: #OperationSindoor | Vice Admiral AN Pramod says "...This time if Pakistan dares to take any action, Pakistan knows what we are going to do."

[Firstpost @firstpost]

#OperationSindoor: Pakistan was hoping to use the Pahalgam terror attack to trigger communal riots in India. Foreign media appeared to buy the narrative by peddling claims of a religious war between India and Pakistan.

@palkisu tells you more.

[ANI @ANI]

#WATCH | Delhi | Congress leader Sachin Pilot says, "...The Indian armed forces have again shown that they are second to none... The chain of events in the last 24 hours has changed rapidly. We were surprised by the fact that US President Donald Trump announced the ceasefire, it has happened for the first time. What was written in that social media post is noteworthy. This is an attempt to internationalise the Kashmir issue. Congress party has been demanding it for long that a special parliament session be called and we should repeat the resolution of 1994 when all the parties unanimously agreed and passed the resolution that PoJK is an integral part of India and we will take it back..."

[Nikhila Dave @nikhiladave]

@TheSatishDua @WIONews Diplomatic isolation is just a facade by global players when international bodies like @IMFNews grant funding to terrorist-harboring nations like Pakistan to fund military attacks.
