Had a very pathetic experience with @DelhiPolice official today.
I was doing my usual morning run on the Mayur Vihar 1 <> DND stretch, which I have been doing for more than a decade now.
A DP official posted near the stretch saw me and said "Dubara Mat ana iss taraf". . .
@DelhiPolice@gupta_rekha I request CM @gupta_rekha@CMODelhi to look into this and sensitise officials across ranks how how to behave with citizens, such small gestures will go a long way in ensuring the dignity and image of DP officials which currently is not too good...
Asking my prime minister Jonas Gahr Støre about why Norway refers to India as a democracy when the Indian PM has not had a press conference in 12 years at home. Is not a free press important to democracy anymore? Støre points to India holding elections. He does acknowledge differences in press culture, but also points to Indias large population.
THIS IS PEAK WHATABOUTERY 🔥
REPORTER: Why should Norway trust India when fundamental rights are being violated?
MEA: We have Gandhi, ancient civilisation, and a Constitution that guarantees fundamental rights.
REPORTER 🎯: Exactly. I know India has fundamental rights. That is why I asked about violations.
MEA: If rights are violated, people can go to court. 😐
REPORTER: That’s the point. Why are people forced to go to court for basic rights?
MEA: It’s my press conference. I will decide.
REPORTER: When will PM take free questions from the press?
MEA: Next question.
If you’re trying to reach me on Instagram or Facebook, I would like to let you know I have been suspended from both accounts. I have wanted to respond to as many Indians as possible, but my responses will now be delayed. I hope I will get my accounts back. @Meta
Throughout all day I have struggled to log onto my Instagram account. Now I have been suspended. It is a small prize to pay for press freedom, but I’ve never experienced it before.
Primeminister of India, Narendra Modi, would not take my question, I was not expecting him to.
Norway has the number one spot on the World Press Freedom Index, India is at 157th, competing with Palestine, Emirates & Cuba.
It is our job to question the powers we cooperate with.
FUEL FRIDAY : elections over, all CMs chosen, the ‘inevitable’ Hike in fuel prices is here ; Petrol prices rise from Rs 94.77 to Rs 97.77 per litre, while diesel prices increase from Rs 87.67 to Rs 90.67 per litre. Relatively less in the circumstances you might argue. NET-NET: TIGHTEN YOUR BELT. 🙏
On my personal behalf and on behalf of Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, I sincerely thank President Trump for graciously accepting our request to extend the ceasefire to allow ongoing diplomatic efforts to take their course.
With the trust and confidence reposed in, Pakistan shall continue its earnest efforts for negotiated settlement of conflict.
I sincerely hope that both sides will continue to observe the ceasefire and be able to conclude a comprehensive ‘Peace Deal’ during the second round of talks scheduled at Islamabad for a permanent end to the conflict.
