Never a judge a book by it's cover, or perhaps never judge a PM by his fake speeches. This U-Turn is just politics.

Today One man has become larger than life, In my eyes his respect is increasing everyday, No doubts because of today's Speech many extremists of one community which is probably "Hindu" become angry with him, and I don't call them Hindu because I believe Hindu can't be extremists. So the Muslims brothers who are doubtful of his speech and raising eyes there is nothing to confuse about, One man is welcoming you all with open heart and opening his both hand for you people, if you can't see the compassion, it is your loss.

Wat he said has deep meaning, it is a challenge to crack down. Like beti bachao beti padhao. Beti goes out to padhne(college or school) beti ko bachao(from rapists). He delivers clear but hidden message in his slogans.

Can anyone ask Geeta how the AMU is NOT a part of the 21st century? Why is the onus on the university, which she calls one of the premier ones in the country, to prove their modernity or progressiveness? This is so patronising and she needs to be called out on this.

Modi say what he wants others to listen, not what he feels. What he says is as per his scheme of things.

Barkha, what happened with you? We can't recognise you who had been all along with migrant workers walking home all over India! Is it a business deal with Modi & company? Why are you taking the responsibility to advertise and promote the habitual false statements of Narendra Modi and his party spokesmen as something meaningful !
