  1. I slept off 🥱😴 trying to read that resignation letter…
    Anyways, he wanted to rant and justify, so be it..

    But this far from over.. what's next..,
    – The compensation to those students who suicided based on the exams leaks.
    – Most importantly, picking up all the videos and evidence of police brutality.

    As we speak, the gov is trying disruptions to disband the protesters,
    – threatening the food delivery people from delivering food.
    – police going through garbage and taking note of restaurants and calling them and threatening them to stop giving food.
    – closing all shop near protest site.
    – people who used to deliver food and water disappeared, and their families and minority communities threatened.
    – the garbage is not picked up..
    – the toilets aren't cleaned for public usage..
    – people who step outside and get food are captured and detained in police stations…

    New levels of lows, the gov in collaboration with police are stooping to..

  4. La oveja sigue al rebaño cristiano que le hace daño. Deja la ignorancia rancia y aprende en la iglesia no enseñan Dios existe. Parece un chiste. Mi verdad audaz que digo en paz es el ateísmo es una falacia lógica que asume Dios es la idea religiosa del creador de la creación y concluye erróneamente ningún creador existe porque una idea particular de Dios no existe. La religión es perdición porque el cristiano tirano no da una mano y se cree santo. ¿Qué pasa cuando en misa te da la risa?, la pena de muerte es amor cristiano y no hacen caso. En la prisión cristiana tienes suerte y evitas la muerte si su duras hasta mañana. El cristianismo ha sido probado más que el comunismo y el resultado es un lavado de cerebro colectivo. Gracias.

  5. మోదీని కాపాడేందుకా రాజీనామా? లేక నిజాన్ని కాపాడేందుకా?क्या उन्होंने मोदी की रक्षा के लिए इस्तीफ़ा दिया, या सच की रक्षा के लिए?Did he resign to protect Modi—or to protect the truth?

  6. Indians need jobs. Indians want to live like people in other developed countries. Indians should not be looking for jobs in other countries. Indian governments first priority must be creating jobs, creating industries to produce. 1.4 billion people has a government with no accountability. Democracy with out a clear cut plan or a leader for creating jobs. No plans to employ youngsters of India. Modi went around the world and hugged world leaders, and it helped him for few years. However truth is there are no jobs in India for youngsters. Create decent jobs for young people of India. Creating a podcast on YouTube is not a job. If you create a platform like Youtube, you deserve credit. But there is no one India who has created an App used by others around the world. Can you name any thing from India used all around the world except for black pepper?Except for Arab countries, the whole world moved from an agrarian economy to an industrial economy and then to Service and Management economies. Indian government is smarter than US and UK, India directly went from agrarian to service economy and started managing the globe through apps given by Google and SAP. This transition happened not because of Modi, but because global IT companies needed young people to do repetitive tasks. Now there is a pause to that requirement. India all of a sudden understanding you can not become a super power with out producing. India has no oil or any natural resources. However Indians import gold and oil daily by burning US dollars. Amazon is selling Chinese products and delivers to each household in India. Youngsters has no job, because Modi only thought about making AI chips not small scale industries to employ youngsters, To get an ASML chip making machine Modi had to personally go to Europe and sign everything Trump asked ASML to get signed by Modi. Also Modi had to buy oil from Venezuela. After all this commitments ASML did not sell Modi a machine to make AI chips. ASML sold a machine to make 10 nm chips which can be use in cars and washing machines. Can Indians make a chair and sell on Amazon instead getting from China? JUST PRODUCE AND EXPORT LIKE CHINA. MITIGATE THE IMPACT OF FOREIGN CURRENCY BURN. INDIAN ECONOMY WILL SURVIVE ONLY BY DOING THIS PRODUCTION AND EXPORT. Do not blame the Apps creating issues among youngsters. There are no JOBS in India for youngsters. India can not survive without producing and exporting. Today is Trump, tomorrow it could be someone else who puts the Tariffs. Just produce and export. Germany is an export economy, USA is an export economy, China is an export economy, Japan is an export economy but India is a Management economy. You can manage only if you produce and export first.
