@azaizamotaz9 It’s probably the first time that I am witnessing human values degrade to an extent that I am convinced if God forbid a million in Palestines are killed; no politician or intellectual in “west” would even mince a word.

Nearly 100 people have been booked or arrested for spreading misinformation about #COVID19 in India but any guesses why ANI chose to show this photo with a name?.

I have never seen a politician go to the Supreme Court at midnight because of your unemployment, hunger, EMIs, farmer suicides, your hospital bills, or getting admission in schools. They wake up only when it suits them. #KarnatakaCMRace #MidnightDramaAtSC #Congress #BJP.

India's ruling BJP just blamed country's first prime minister, who died in 1964, for the migrant worker crisis due to the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020.
These Migrant Workers wouldn't have struggled for Work in 2020 if only former PMs Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi and Super PM, MOTHER Sonia Gandhi had worked for India during their rule. Didn't they only work for the Gandhi Dynasty, Dear @RahulGandhi?. #FIRPeCharchaWithSonia.

One of them is my cousin helping perform the last rites of covid-19 bodies. He has buried/cremated dozens of bodies whose families couldn’t or refused to attend the funerals. Today, he cremated a Hindu woman whose body was kept for hours as neighbours refused to participate.
ये मानवता का रिश्ता है. लखनऊ के एक घर में 8 घण्टे से महिला की बॉडी पड़ी थी. बेटा-बहू अस्पताल में भर्ती थे, रिश्तेदारों ने पल्ला झाड़ लिया था. ऐसे में जीशान, आबिद और मेहंदी आगे आए और महिला का अंतिम संस्कार किया. सुन ओ कपड़ों से पहचानने वाले. ये देश नहीं बंटने वाला.

'Detonate her vest', kind of language used against @IlhanMN for speaking on human rights and press freedom in #Kashmir . As a Muslim, if you speak on Kashmir, this is the kind of vile Islamophobic abuse you tend to receive.
Hoo boy!!! @AartiTikoo is really giving it back in a nice dignified way!!! Forced Sherman to correct the record on “foreign press not allowed in Kashmir” . waiting for Ilhan to detonate her vest anytime now.

Firstly, this isn't happening at RSS HQ, RSS does not mean the entire Nagpur, there around 3 lakh Muslims in city & they have the right to freedom of expression. Not Khan but RSS chief wrote: Muslims & Christians to expect nothing more than 2nd class citizenship in free India.
I am posting this video for you @ImranKhanPTI - This is happening in Nagpur, the headquarter of @RSSorg - the organisation you are scared of. How is this happening 🤷🏻♀️because according to you RSS wants to eradicate Muslims?

Fact Check. Indian Housing Project was a commitment by then PM Dr Manmohan Singh during his visit to Sri Lanka in June 2010. Under this scheme GoI announced to build 50,000 houses in northern & eastern provinces including Jaffna.
When Modi ji visited Sri Lanka, he didn't forget Jaffna. He visited Tamil colonies there & met with Tamil brothers & sisters. He laid foundation stone for providing them houses. Over 50,000 Tamils will get houses & damaged temples will be rejuvenated in Sri Lanka: HM Amit Shah

How conveniently the Indian right-wing gives a communal spin to every incident. Here, falsely claims that a Muslim man was stripped for molesting a Hindu woman. However, this man is a Hindu, local police confirmed to AFP. This is a three-year-old incident.
