On Friday, Professor @manojkjhadu, in his speech in Parliament, recommended my book, Allahu Akbar, as a must-read for all. I am delighted and honoured by this mention by such a respectable and conscientious parliamentarian on the floor of the House. Thank you, sir! 🙏
I am sure there was a better way to advertise this instead of the VC posing in such a ridiculous manner. Also, perhaps the university needs to think about improving the lot of the students so that they don't feel suicidal.

आप लोग सर्कार के ही लोग हैं न? परिहास करने का प्रयत्न कर तो रहें हैं, लेकिन वह दक्षिणपंथियों की बातों की तरह ही अश्लील और हिंसक है। एक सरकारी handle से निरंतर इस तरह की अशोभनीय टिप्पणियों का आना अत्यंत दुर्भाग्यपूर्ण है।
हालिया विधान परिषद के चुनाव की मतदाता सूची में एक अजीबोगरीब नाम “राम ने शर्मा को मारा” भी है। कंप्यूटर/सॉफ्टवेयर जातिवादी नहीं है। हमारे द्वारा गलती किया जाना स्वीकार है लेकिन हमारे सौभाग्य से गलती होते समय भी जाति का भेदभाव नहीं हुआ है। भगवान का यह भी शुक्र है की राम ने किसी अल्पसंख्यक को नहीं मारा है। नहीं तो जातिवादी होने के साथ-साथ सांप्रदायिक होने का इल्ज़ाम भी लगता।
David Eby called an unnecessary election with two full years of his term still remaining. The result: the BC NDP has been routed today and the Conservative party is forming govt in the province after nearly a century. I have never seen anything more pathetic than this. Really!
Instead, the ITBP DG should have created a fake profile like "Ibn Khaldun Bharati" and said all this in an op-ed for The Print.
I had @CaroleGordonBC of @bctf on my show this morning on the ongoing provincial elections and their potential impact on education. Do hear this chat. #bcpoli #bctf
This morning, I had Solomon Yi-Kieran, the youngest Vancouver City Councillor-Elect representing @COPEVancouver, on my show, and we talked about their fascinating victory. I have known them from UBC where they took a history course that I was team-teaching. #bcpoli #Vancouver

हिन्दू दंगाइयों को ख़बरों का स्रोत बनाएंगे तो ऐसा ही होगा। रोज़ लांछित और अपमानित होना आप लोगों की नियति बन चुकी है। बहुत ही शर्मनाक!
Earlier this month, I got the chance to moderate the Surrey Mayoral Candidates Debate organised by Swift AM 1200 Radio. This the opening part of the two-hour event. We were joined by Mayor Brenda Locke, @MikeStarchuk, @Honveer_R, and Troy Van-Vliet. Voting is underway today.

I had @amboultbee on my show this morning to comment on the controversy involving BC Conservative Party campaign manager Katy Merrifield and Lorne Doerkson's response to a question about her during last night's leadership debate. Do hear what the ex-MLA had to say!
