Statement by over 200 Delhi University Teachers condemning Narendra Modi for his remarks on the late Rajiv Gandhi with actual signatures... Sharing some of them here.
I am a Gujarati from mahatma Gandhi s and Sardar Patel’s soil. I can not believe that our PM Modi is also from the same soil. What is wrong with him? How can he go so low? Is he rattled?
Pls, stop promoting and propagating lies about what
@RahulGandhi
said in
#London
.
Were you there?
Did you see the video?
Do you really know what he said?
In what context?
What was the main message?
#RahulGandhiInLondon
YES. Very few people know this Fact. It was the first patent ever issues on handheld electronic device - now Smart phones & tablets. I had sued in cook county/Chicago courts in Toshiba, Casio, Sharp,HP,TI & Radioshack for patent infringement & they settled immediately.
Thanks,

So Sad to see gandhi's image reduced in size .
What is the purpose to repeat Gandhi's quote with oversize image of Modi? Have some sense pls.
What are we trying to accomplish ?

for their low professionalism and ethical standards as a major TV channel in India.
I stay away from TV interviews with Indian TV channels and never participate on panel discussions at all because I have seen what they show.

I am pained by the selective editing of my views on funding the historic NYAY scheme. My friend and Manifesto Committee Chairman
@PChidambaram_IN
has clearly stated the Congress Party’s position that the middle class will not be burdened in this interview.
For me, every day is a day to remember Rajiv Gandhi. He provided needed political will to develop Telecom & IT institutions, infrastructure, and human capacity to help build new modern India.

So sad to see debate on TV on name

& comments by the

linking it to terror org & east India company. It is a national shame that we have to come to this level of discourse. Have we lost our mind ? What is wrong with us ? Pls have some respect & dignity.Pls.
I have noticed how BJP is again twisting three words from my interview to distort facts, divide us and hide their failures. Sad that they have nothing positive to offer.
Sad to see ministers of the central government openly promoting lies on national TV during prime time without any shame. How low can you get?

I admired the stand taken by courageous teachers on PM modi’s comments on late PM Rajiv Gandhi. Teachers are the guardians of national knowledge,character, values, wisdom and morals. I wish more teachers would rise and speak the truth.
I welcome & appreciate

crisis and the martyrdom of brave Indian soldiers.
You are in politics to serve people with the values you believe in and practice in your own day to day life.
Politics can not be a profession where you constantly look for positions, promotions, perks, and privileges.
For all those who would be voting on May 12 th & 19 th I want to remind that the phones and computers you use is because PM Rajiv Gandhi in mid 1980s provided political will, policies, leadership, wisdom and needed funding to build foundation & platform to connect india.
Misinformation campaign is launched and lies are being propagated about cancellation of Rahul Gandhi’s visit to London and interactions in the parliament.

Today is the 78th birth anniversary of the Former Prime Minister of India, Mr. Rajiv Gandhi. I had the privilege to work closely with him on Initiatives related to Telecom, IT, and Technology missions. To me, he gave meaning to my life.

I welcome Mr. Ramesh, the author of an article on foreign hands in Open magazine, to check his facts. The article is full of lies, misinformation, and errors.

I came to America in 1964. Indian community has come a long way in America in the last 55 years. Thanks to the quality education we all got in India at almost no cost. We are now global contributors.

सैम पित्रोदा, भारत में दूरसंचार क्रांति के जनक हैं. सैम का पूरा नाम सत्यनारायण पित्रोदा हुआ करता था, जो अमेरिका में काम करने के दौरान चेक पर बड़ा नाम होने के चलते बदल कर सैम कर दिया गया.
सैम 1980 में अमेरिका में दुनिया की पहली डिजिटल कंपनियों में से एक…
Today, I had a unique experience to visit the historical site of Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar, Punjab that has inspired generations of Indians and reflect upon sacrifices that brought the dawn of freedom.
Why is the Govt trying to cancel the 56-year old lease of Herald House on specious grounds? Does it find National Herald, Navjivan & Qaumi Awaz inconvenient because they show truth to power? Is their growing print & digital presence undermining their agenda?
#Freedom_Is_In_Peril
Odia marathoner from UK, Madhusmita Jena, who ran Manchester marathon yesterday 16 Apr wearing a Sambalpuri Saree. Running a full marathon of 42.2 km in a sari is a fantastic achievement. She ran the full distance in a respectable time of 4 hr 50 mins. Just Wow!
For clarification pls, note that
@RahulGandhi
basically said the following:
1.Indian Democracy is Global Public Good.
2.The state of democracy in India is of concern.
is an Indian problem, and we will deal with it.

@NewsHtn
Did you increase national debt by about 50%? How does this affect the burden on our future generation? How did Indian RS go to 70 per US dollar? We are lucky that oil was well below $90 a barrel. What would happen if it was at $140?
Pls, read this article carefully. I agree- If u get two years in jail for what
@RahulGandhi
said, hundreds of politicians & television.
Personalities in India should also be in jail.
#RahulGandhiDisqualification
The Real Reason for Banishing Rahul Gandhi
Mr. PM do you know that we are perhaps importing Rs. 82000 chores worth of cooking oil every year? Should we focus on this to create local jobs and improve income of our farmers?
Perception of India changed with a large number of Indian engineers , doctors, scientists and academicians from IITs,IIMs and great Indian universities making substantial contributions to American economy.
I came to America as a student in ‘73 when the perception of India was still mired in the stereotype of snake charmers. I’m glad that I’ve lived long enough to see the perception of India & the bonds between the two nations elevated beyond anyone’s imagination.
It is time for PM Modi to talk about real issues which affect the people of india. Did you create 100 million jobs you promised?
Did you build 100 smart cities you promised? Did you double income of the farmers in 5 years? What did you really deliver on these?
Mr
@RahulGandhi
will be speaking in Cambridge on Monday 23 May. He'll be in conversation with Dr. Shruti Kapila

Tickets are limited to University members but a recording will be available shortly afterward.
Book here:
I have been silently watching lies being spread on Indian Media, at a time to sensationalize news and mis-guide people on a variety of issues.
Some of these lies have resulted in unnecessary court cases and damaged our relationships and our thriving democracy.
In light of the ongoing national conversation on 2024 elections , EVM & VVPAT it is important to remind all of us that ”THE HAND THAT CASTS THE BALLET HOLDS THE DESTINY OF INDIA”. Be careful, concerned, committed and courageous.
He never invited any foreign countries to help.
I was there as an Indian professional with a logical, rational, and open mind, eyes, and ears.
#RahulGandhiInLondon
I am surprised and literally shocked at the nationwide response and associated discussion, debate and dialogue on my ANI interview of 22nd March 2019.
#TRUTH
Why are some people so agitated and ganged up in promoting lies and attacking
@RahulGandhi
all the time? Pls calm down. There are more imp. things to do in India to create jobs, improve the economy, reduce violence, improve environment, education, health services, and lot more.
What is the sense in launching a well-orchestrated and well-organized personal attack based on lies and misinformation through elected leaders in collaboration with the media?
Is this what
#Indian
#democracy
is all about? Is there some decency left in political discourse?
Bringing an Indian perspective to Cambridge
Rahul Gandhi, a leading figure of the Congress Party in India, speaks to Cambridge MBA students at Cambridge Judge Business School on the topic of Learning to Listen in the 21st Century.

Why are national TV media spending so much time, money, and energy on this?
Why are they always quick to jump on
@RahulGandhi
without checking their own facts ?
What are they all trying to accomplish?
Is this fair?

The Pravasi Bharatiya Divas ( PBD) is celebrated this year in Varanasi from Jan 21st - 23rd. The original concept was to always celebrate PBD on Jan 9th the day Father of the nation Gandhiji arrived from South Africa to India. In the past, PBD was always held on Jan 9th.
We need understanding and not misunderstanding. We must unite to take India forward for all the people - especially the poor, hungry, homeless, unemployed, and young.
#RahulGandhiInLondon
May 21st is the death anniversary of Rajiv Gandhi the Prime minister of India who dreamed of proud and inclusive India in the 21st century with growth and prosperity for all.
I worry a lot about India because of growing LIES, MISTRUST, HATE, FEAR, EXCLUSION, UNIFORMITY, CONFIRMITY, VIOLENCE & TOP DOWN APPROACH to DEVELOPMENT.
My heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of
@ahmedpatel
Ahmedabhai Patel, who was a dedicated congress leader for over FOUR decades. I had the privilege of working with him since 1985.
People of India have spoken. We respect the verdict of the people. I compliment BJP and congratulate
