First, @DelhiPolice arrest students. Then fabricate confessions. But duffers that they are, don't realise 'confessions' separately made shouldn't use identical language! These 'confessions' then used to drag in @SitaramYechury @Jayati1609, @Apoorvanand__ https://thewire.in/rights/delhi-police-riots-conspiracy-academics-activists

In 2011 the SC ordered CBI to investigate attack on Swami Agnivesh in Sukma and report within 6 months. They submitted a report in 2016 in which they charged some Salwa Judum leaders and SPOs. but CBI never finished its job and with officers like this one can see why https://twitter.com/mnageswarraoips/status/1304450962036158465

Interesting how in the many obituaries on Swami Agnivesh failed to recall the murderous attack on him when he was in Jharkhand in July 2018. Why is this the case?

Very sad to read this tweet by a serving police officer, flaunting such uncivility & communal bias re Swami Agnivesh, a man far taller & better than he will ever be, just after his passing. That he feels he can display his bigotry so brazenly reflects on those who lead the nation https://twitter.com/MNageswarRaoIPS/status/1304450962036158465

How have we come to a point where such a statement can be made by a Senior IPS officer and the former CBI Chief? What a deeply sad day for our country! https://twitter.com/MNageswarRaoIPS/status/1304450962036158465

“The 24 per cent GDP contraction figure is remarkable not only because of its sheer magnitude, but also because it is higher than the contraction being reported in other countries where the pandemic was severe,” writes C.P Chandrasekhar.

Whether you agreed with him or not, Swami Agnivesh was a remarkable man who spent his life in the service of people. And he was murdered. By a mob. RIP Sir. I will fondly remember the time you told me that you didn’t care what people ate as long as every person was fed.

How could the @WorldBank’s #DoingBusiness index have been so off the mark with regard to #Chile and #India? asks @Jayati1609. Although conflicts of interest may be partly to blame, the index's biggest problem is its deeply flawed design. https://bit.ly/32eyWo7

Incredibly grateful this week to doctors, nurses, medical staff who are helping out elderly non-Covid patients.

Most of the medical profession has been under unimaginable stress, and yet they're calm and thoughtful. I wish we had better ways of thanking all of them. 🏥

#MGNREGA has made a huge difference to workers during the post #COVID phase. All the more why important concerns of NREGA workers need Parliament's attention.

It is clear in hindsight that even before the COVID-19 pandemic – when the Centre’s revenues were falling – it had decided to revisit its commitment to compensate the states for shortfalls in GST revenues.
