The Vice President of India???

With two women MPs asking to speak as the discussion on the Arms Amendment Bill, 2019 was wrapping up on Tuesday evening, the Rajya Sabha Chairman M. Venkaiah Naidu remarked that he thought women did not need firearms and that others would protect them.

“In my opinion, women don’t need firearms, others will protect you,” he said.

@KayKap @musafir A few equations that I had proposed in a conversation in 2016. I got jumped on from all directions for this.
Trump = Modi - Cow
US = India + Media spine
US - MAGA = India - HKMH (politically speaking)
Trump + Hindi = Modi and Modi + English = Trump

@Samyukth @musafir we are moving akin to the US. Initially esp with the asylum seekers protests were limited to certain quarters. It is only now that members of the admin.../ser vices are coming fwd n impeachment is well under way. We are going 2do the same. Call up our reps harass them if need be. Tell them we r not returning them to parl. But u know we got complacent in the 70 yrs of Congress r freedoms weren't impinge this way. We 4got how 2 protest. We need 2 relearn. We got secure.1/n

We got complacent! We had it good, those of us that were born in Independent India. The left still protested, kept up the practice, the rest of us got soft. We grew depending on the Gov't to keep us safe, free as enshrined in the preamble. India & Indians must reinvent themselves if we want 2 survive & prosper. As a 1st, we look @ link between bans & biz affected by those bans & ownership of those. affected biz & their ownership. We need 2 strike on all fronts now... 2/n

3/n We learnt 2 abide by laws because they protected us. There is much 2 thank congress 4; but there's much to blame 2; Blame it 4 us not needing 2 protest, there4 not knowing how. Blame it 4 progress that got us comfy knowing we would 1 days be a leading economy. Blame it 4 inclusiveness becoz it left BJP with only 1 plank, divisiveness, that its parent learnt 2 well @ British Knees...

We, U & me need 2 get out on the streets protesting, but how many really will?

bjpee didn't have to be TAUGHT divisiveness. They adopted it long ago, in their hatred of Gandhi, Nehru & the rest in varying degrees. Coz they can't stand intellectuals, modern culture, polish. Coz they hate minorities. Coz they prefer to cling on ancient times, that they believe were better.

That they have no grip over modernity is true.

Bottom line is, of course, just how many Asoms & Tripura & Kashmirs will call the bluff!
