What an astonishing clip…Araghchi, JD Vance, Kushner, Sharif and Munir in one frame -
watch how the camera moves to capture the drama…
Munir grins as he sends forth Sharif… Araghchi says they’re leaving…
Sharif returns and gesticulates frantically…
Munir acts like he’s spotted a Brahmos missile and looks around the room…
Vance strides in to find out why they walked out… cameras continuing to roll.

(Btw can anyone tell what Sharif, JD Vance and Asim Munir ? lip readers?)

JD Vance:

I have joked that I have two very, very important people in my life.

An Indian and a Pakistani.

The Indian is my wife, and the Pakistani is Field Marshal Munir.

If E20 is completely safe, why won't the government release its own report?

- A Mumbai-based banker, Nachiket Deshpande, filed an RTI seeking the actual research studies the Petroleum Ministry itself cited as proof E20 is safe → the ones conducted by IOCL, ARAI, and SIAM. The response: the reports cannot be revealed. The ministry cited the very data it used to justify its own policy, then classified that data when someone asked to see it.

- This isn't the first time this study has caused trouble. A 2014-15 government-funded study by ARAI, the Indian Institute of Petroleum, and Indian Oil Corporation already found up to a 6% decline in fuel economy depending on vehicle type → years before E20 became mandatory nationwide. The government has known about the efficiency hit since before it pushed the policy.

- In Parliament, the government has repeatedly told the Rajya Sabha that E20 causes no significant compatibility issues and no abnormal wear and tear. Outside Parliament, when a citizen asks to actually verify that claim with the underlying data, the answer is confidentiality.

- Millions of vehicle owners have no choice in this. They didn't get a say in the policy, they can't get a say in the data, and they're the ones absorbing the cost → reduced mileage, possible long-term engine wear, parts replacement. Taxpayers fund ARAI and IOCL. The research belongs to the public that paid for it.

This isn't about whether E20 works or doesn't. It's about whether a government that demands compliance from every citizen is willing to be transparent about the evidence behind that demand.

If the data supports your policy, publishing it costs you nothing. Refusing to publish it costs you everything → starting with trust.

🚨 BOMBSHELL! Former Israeli PM Ehud Olmert confirms Iran fully complied with the nuclear deal.

He exposes how Benjamin Netanyahu intentionally manipulated Donald Trump into destroying it.

He admits this Zionist sabotage forced Washington into a disastrous, unprovoked war!

[Commentary Donald J. Trump Truth Social Posts On X @TrumpTruthOnX]

Italian Prime Minister Gigiorgia Meloni asked, over and over, for a picture with me during the G-7 meeting in France. She is doing poorly in Italy with her level of popularity, possibly because she turned down the United States of America, a Country that truly loves and protects Italy, when it came to denying Iran from obtaining or developing a Nuclear Weapon (But so did NATO, for that matter!). She wouldn’t even let us use Italy’s landing strips or runways, a great logistical inconvenience, and this despite the fact the U.S. contributes hundreds of Billions of Dollars a year to protect Italy, and other “so-called” NATO Allies. Now, after the United States defeated Iran militarily, she wants to be friends again in order to get her “numbers up.” No thanks!!! President DJT

Meet my car i20 Sportz 2020 model.

Filled petrol.

Drove just 73 km after refilling!

Mileage: 7.4 km/l

The same car used to return 12–13 km/l in Hyderabad’s bumper-to-bumper traffic.

Nobody gave me a discount on the car.

Nobody reduced my road tax.

Nobody reduced my insurance.

But somehow I’m expected to accept getting significantly less distance from every litre of fuel.

We keep hearing about ethanol blending and how it’s good for the nation.

Simple question:

If car owners need more fuel to travel the same distance, who is paying for that extra fuel?

Because it certainly isn’t the government.

It is the middle class standing at the petrol pump ⛽️

Are you also seeing a drop in mileage, or is it just me?

Ethanol blending should stop immediately and Nitin Gadkari should resign taking responsibility for this blunder!

@Marvellous_MrsG Lovely. The harmonium guy next to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan is his brother Farrukh Fateh Ali Khan, father of Rahat Fateh Ali Khan.

Rahat also appeared as a child vocalist in many of his live sessions later in the early 90’s.
