@Arijit_Dodul @PratitiLikhchi He was mute and incapacitated when he was sent to Bangladesh because he still was too radical for authoritarian India.

@PratitiLikhchi Maybe. But the facts are that he left India and settled in Bangladesh a few months after it was formed. India and Bengal gave him everything in his life but he showed the highest contempt and disrespect towards us the moment he got an opportunity.

If you’re trying to reach me on Instagram or Facebook, I would like to let you know I have been suspended from both accounts. I have wanted to respond to as many Indians as possible, but my responses will now be delayed. I hope I will get my accounts back. @Meta

@ErikSolheim How much did you make Erik for writing this piece of ill-informed crap? Did you know that 6.5 million voters were made intelligible for voting? Do you know that election commissioners were given executive postings by the @BJP4India right after the elections? You know nothing.

In defense of Indian 🇮🇳 democracy! During Prime Minister Narendra Modi most successful visit to Norway a minor incident happened. A Norwegian journalist demanded that the prime minister starts holding press conferences. She claimed that Indian democracy is in bad shape. May be its time to pause? May be its time to be a bit curious to the world’s largest democracy? Two weeks ago five Indian states and territories held elections. The turn out in the battlefield state of West Bengal was 94%. In the last local election in Norway it was 62%, in many European local elections turn out is below 50%. Can voting in massive numbers be a signal Indians trust their democratic process? In the same election BJP won big in Assam and West Bengal. It lost even bigger in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Can this diversity be a signal that Indian democracy is reflecting the will of the people? The journalist referred to a democracy ranking putting India at 157 in the world, behind many dictatorships and deeply troubled states. When a ranking is so obviously contrary to common sense, why not ask critical questions to those making the ranking rather than demand that leaders shall comment on nonsense? I recommend Salvatore Babones book “Dharma democracy”. The book debunks convincingly the flawed methodology of these rankings. It was referred to a ranking claiming it’s very dangerous to be a journalist in India. Reality is that it is more dangerous to be journalist in the US and far more dangerous in the vast majority of other nations in the world. Let’s be real. India is not perfect. Of course there are incidents. India has a population the size of North America, South America and Europe combined. But India is much more peaceful than Europe or the Americas. That’s remarkable - given the ethnic, language and religious diversity of India and the many development challenges. Unless we consider democracy a form of government only suited for some very small, peaceful and homogeneous Western European nations, may be we should commend Indian democracy? India is the only major former UK colony which became and has remained a democracy. Its sometimes claimed that the Brits taught India democracy. If that was the case why isn’t Myanmar or Pakistan or the Gulf kingdoms democracies??? Reality is that Indian democracy is both homegrown and extraordinary successful.

When French President Macron came to Norway, he took questions. Every single head of the nation takes questions. But, Indian PM Modi didn’t. I wanted to highlight that you can’t have your definition of democracy. — Listen to Helle Lyng India is being shamed by Modi…

@HelleLyngSvends @RahulGandhi Keep an eye out on your PM green lighting the Adani group back into your sovereign fund. Modi is there to help his friend get back into Norwegian good books.

@RahulGandhi Hello, would you be available for a phone interview Tuesday Norwegian time. It would be interesting to hear how you view the visit to Norway.

When there is nothing to hide, there is nothing to fear. What happens to India’s image when the world sees a compromised PM panic and run from a few questions?

@Samrend32309381 @AMIT_GUJJU Dasah! Have you been lifted from slavery of the Savarna upper caste? No you haven’t been. That’s why you don’t know how to ask questions of people in authority.

@AMIT_GUJJU "Why should we trust India?". How dared that lady Journalist ? It's ashamed ! Who sent you Ms. Lady with certain agenda ? Have you guts to explain the Kashmere Hundus ? Ms. Lady Journ must trust India !

I’ve never seen a worse journalist till date. First she asked, “Why should we trust India?” and then kept throwing 2–3 more questions. An attention seeker who wanted answers first, that too with full attitude. And when answers were being given, she kept interrupting unnecessarily. When her drama didn’t work, she got up and left in a completely unprofessional manner. She should be ashamed of herself. She’s a disgrace to journalism. She came here with a clear agenda - just to create chaos after taking a contract from Indian opposition leader.

@AMIT_GUJJU Gujju is who you are—from the dhoka oops dhokla dal. Nothing else matters. You make 45k a month doing this, don’t you? And how much does Mommy make doing ‘that’?

@31GL0CK @HelleLyngSvends @jonasgahrstore @NorwayMFA Fucking idiot - you live in the United States and have nothing to do with Norway. Buzz off.

Norwegian journalist Helle Lyng Svends @HelleLyngSvends has become a growing embarrassment for Norway’s citizens and our Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre @jonasgahrstore . What should have been a proud moment for Norway @norwaymfa hosting Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi @PMOIndia @narendramodi for the first time in 43 years, awarding him the country’s highest civilian honor, signing a Green Strategic Partnership with 12 new agreements on clean energy, sustainability, health tech, digital cooperation, and trade was instead hijacked by her personal grandstanding and turned into an international spectacle that makes Norway look rude, entitled, and diplomatically clumsy.This wasn’t a full open press conference. It was a joint statement session with clear protocols. Modi followed standard procedure for such high-level bilateral visits: brief remarks, handshake, and exit. Yet Helle positioned herself as the hero, later tweeting that Modi “would not take my question” while waving the World Press Freedom Index (Norway #1, India #157). She framed it as brave journalism. Most Norwegians see it as embarrassing performative activism that damages our national interests.Norway’s relationship with India matters. We are building real partnerships in the green transition exactly the kind of cooperation Norwegians expect from our government. Billions in potential investments, jobs, technology sharing, and climate goals. Modi’s visit was substantive diplomacy. Instead of highlighting these achievements, the global narrative became “Modi dodges questions in free Norway” thanks to Helle’s viral 16-second clip. This helps no one except her personal brand.Real journalism holds power to account, but there’s a time, place, and manner. Ambushing a foreign head of government during a state visit on Norwegian soil, in front of our own Prime Minister, crosses into disrespect. It signals to the world that Norway cannot host important partners without turning events into awkward confrontations. What message does this send to leaders from Germany, the US, China, or Saudi Arabia? Come to Oslo at your own risk?Helle’s approach reflects poorly on Norwegian citizens who value pragmatism, politeness, and results over viral outrage. Many of us are cringing. We pay taxes for competent foreign policy, not for journalists to chase personal clout at the expense of our Prime Minister’s hard work. Støre stood there politely while our guest was effectively ambushed. This undermines the goodwill built over months of preparation.The World Press Freedom Index she brandished is published by Reporters Without Borders — an NGO with its own biases, selective sourcing, and inconsistencies. India is the world’s largest democracy with a raucous, competitive media landscape. Modi has been elected multiple times by 1.4 billion people. He chooses his communication style Mann Ki Baat, controlled interviews, direct voter outreach and has stuck to it for over a decade. That’s his prerogative as India’s leader. Norway’s press norms do not dictate how foreign elected leaders behave on our soil. By shouting during a joint briefing and then spinning the walk-off as cowardice, Helle ignored the substance: cultural exchanges, economic deals, shared Arctic and Indo-Pacific interests. She made it about “her question.” This self-centered stunt fuels stereotypes of arrogant Europeans lecturing the Global South. India is a rising superpower and vital partner, not some dictatorship to be publicly shamed. Her actions risk harming Norway’s reputation as a serious, respectful actor on the world stage.Norwegians pride ourselves on being practical and solution-oriented. We understand that diplomacy requires tact. Shouting at guests during photo-ops achieves nothing constructive. If Helle has legitimate concerns about press freedom in India, there are better forums: op-eds, interviews with Indian journalists, or private diplomatic channels. Turning a bilateral summit into her personal protest makes Norway look unserious and weakens Støre’s position.This incident highlights a deeper issue with parts of legacy Norwegian media: more activism than balanced reporting. Many citizens already distrust mainstream outlets for prioritizing ideology and clicks over national interests. Helle’s behavior reinforces that skepticism. She is becoming a symbol of why some Norwegians roll their eyes at Dagsavisen commentators more focused on international virtue-signaling than serving Norwegian readers or advancing pragmatic foreign policy. PM Støre deserves better. His government invested time and resources to strengthen ties with India at a time when energy security, green tech, and diversified partnerships are critical. Helle’s grandstanding risks poisoning the atmosphere for future cooperation. Indian officials and citizens noticed. The replies to her post were filled with Indians pointing out the format was never a full Q&A, questioning why a Norwegian journalist feels entitled to hijack their PM’s visit.We should expect more from our journalists. Question leaders yes. But do it professionally, not by turning important state visits into cringe-worthy viral moments that embarrass the host nation. Norway’s citizens want a media that informs, not one that performs. We want a Prime Minister who can deliver results without his events being derailed by ego.Helle Lyng Svends is increasingly becoming an embarrassment not just for herself, but for all of us who value Norway’s reputation as a competent, respectful country. It’s time for reflection in Norwegian media circles: Is this the image we want the world to see? A nation of serious partners or lecturing activists chasing likes? Enough with the stunts. Focus on the deals that actually benefit Norwegians energy, jobs, technology, and a stable world order. Our Prime Minister and our country deserve diplomacy that works, not viral embarrassment.

@mayursejpal @jonasgahrstore @norwayinindia @IndiainNorway Single handedly - maan you can’t even spell.

Single handly destroyed india-norway relationship... @jonasgahrstore Mr. President, you should have invited credible journalists, not street-level propagandists pretending to be journalists. @norwayinindia @IndiainNorway

@eprabhat @HelleLyngSvends @sachinsingh1010 Cow-ard

@HelleLyngSvends @sachinsingh1010 People seating in cold frigid continental Europe, think they can lecture a 5 k year old civilization, where democracy as a system started Smell the coffee, learn about the world reality and Prepare for Putin doing a conference in Norway.

Primeminister of India, Narendra Modi, would not take my question, I was not expecting him to. Norway has the number one spot on the World Press Freedom Index, India is at 157th, competing with Palestine, Emirates & Cuba. It is our job to question the powers we cooperate with.

@HelleLyngSvends @sachinsingh1010 He is a cow pee worshipping moron- won’t get you.

@sachinsingh1010 This was a press conference without questions. Which is not how we usually do it in Norway.

PM did hundreds of roadshows with his 50-car convoy;didn't he know then that there was a Fuel crisis in India? PM only realised abt fuel crisis after election,now he is asking citizens to sacrifice then what is he sitting on the PM chair for? Citizen exposes Modi's Hypocrisy

Modi asked you to eat less oil, skip gold, work from home. Sitharaman told you to eat out less and watch your expenses. BJP IT Cell told you “India is the fastest growing economy.” Meanwhile, Indian Express’s Udit Misra just filed the autopsy report: 🔴 Rupee: ₹86 → ₹96 in ONE year. Quietly. 🔴 Net FDI gone NEGATIVE; Indians building factories abroad because they don’t trust this government’s economy 🔴 BOTH current account AND capital account in deficit; simultaneously. First time. Ever. 🔴 Per capita income = ₹20,000/month. MOST Indians earn below even that. 🔴 Exports? Almost stagnant and flat; after 12 years of “make in India”, And Misra confirmed, the government KNEW this for 2 years. They hid it during elections. The call only came once votes were counted. This isn’t bad luck. This isn’t Iran. This isn’t Trump. This is what 12 years of suit-boot economics, crony capitalism, and GDP optics actually looks like underneath. Rahul Gandhi called it in July 2025: “Indian economy is DEAD.” The Indian Express just put the post-mortem report on the table. They didn’t mismanage the economy. They HID the mismanagement from you; until after you voted. That’s not incompetence. That’s a betrayal. 🇮🇳 💔

As the Founder of the Cockroach Janta Party, I hereby propose a resolution that if the CJP comes in power, no Chief Justice shall be granted a Rajya Sabha seat as a post-retirement reward. All those in favour, say “Aye.”

This is the best video on internet right now. Nobody knows who did it. Even @NetaFlixIndia doesn’t know. But this is absolutely brilliant work. Just the ending deserves an award on its own

@ANI What’s new? I have seen Manohar Parikkar do this when he was the Defence Minister; I have seen @MamataOfficial do this— I have been on same airplanes with them on different occasions- and how does flying economy save fuel?

Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis travels from Pune to Bengaluru by an economy flight of IndiGo Airlines, in line with PM Modi's appeal amid the West Asia Conflict.

This kind of a statement should directly lead to impeachment of the judge. As responsible citizens, we cannot allow judicial standards and ethics to fall to such pits. The dignity of the chair and institution is at stake here. Leader of Opposition @RahulGandhi should condemn this statement and consider moving an impeachment motion against the Chief Justice. Someone should speak up for our courts!

Disenfranchising 10 Crore Indians? #SIR #VoterRights #EveryVoteMatters

A woman was gang-raped in a bus in Delhi, yet no TV news channel even bothering to cover the news. Is this the same India where the media & ppl came together after the Nirbhaya incident and shook the govt? Or have we, as a nation, collectively given up and become dead inside?
