All those who had no problem with @NarendraModi inaugurating an official emblem with (Hindu) prayers, answer this: If Hamid Ansari—as Rajya Sabha chair—had inaugurated the same with (Muslim) prayers, how would you have reacted?
And be honest, for once in your miserable lives!

- Not just another day at the office for @thewire_in after #PegasusProject Policeman arrived today with inane inquiries. 'Who's Vinod Dua?' 'Who's Swara Bhaskar?' 'Can I see your rent agreement?' 'Can I speak to Arfa?' Asked why he'd come: "Routine check for Aug 15" Strange.

- Paris cafe. Waiter wants vaccination proof. I show my certificate from India. He looks at photo printed on it and says disapprovingly, 'But this is not you'. 'Quite right, that's our Dear Leader', I say. 'But why is HIS photo on YOUR certificate?' he asks. I have no answer.
- The Wire team outside the Ahmedabad courts today where Jay Shah did a no show, citing "social work", in his bogus criminal defamation case. First matter I've seen where the complainant is scared to show his face, while the "accused" are happy to smile for the cameras.

- ISRO provided marvellous coverage but failed to show viewers the magical landing because instead of the velocity/distance screen with moon camera feed, it showed Modi's feed with an animated lander. Indians never got to "see" the magical moment when the counter hit 0.0. Tragic.
- This disgusting man was made CBI head by @narendramodi in Oct 2018 and again Jan 2019 and Justice Arun Mishra refused to interfere with his illegal appointment. A casteist, communalist bigot, every case he ever looked during his time at the CBI needs to be re-examined.This post is unavailable.

- Kangana Ranaut did two moronic things. She called for genocide in Bengal. And she reminded her Dear Leader of his Gujarat days to make the point that he is fully capable of unleashing genocide. With bhakts like this, @narendramodi needs no enemies!
- Some genius made this, the future of OTT video once the sarkari/sanskari new rules fully kick in!
