One of the common misconceptions about the farmer protests against #FarmBills2020 is that the resistance is confined to Punjab, implying that the rest of the country is for the Bills, and the stir is politically motivated. This is a brief thread to counter that propaganda.
The spotlight may be on Punjab, but many states are witnessing agitations and rallies as this @htTweets report explains

A few noteworthy things came out of a legislative committee meeting today.
First, we learned Alberta’s chief electoral officer asked the gov’t for a four-month extension for a complex investigation during the pandemic. The government said no. #ableg

Elections AB won’t say what the case is the timelines suggest it could be the investigation into the UCP leadership race. The office has handed out more than $200,000 in fines connected with election financing irregularities in the 2017 race.
Several people have appealed those fines and findings to the court.
You may also recall leaked documents suggested Jason Kenney and Jeff Callaway’s leadership campaigns shared strategy and information https://t.co/NX91cdQQsN
And the RCMP are investigating. #ableg
The NDP says the government needs to come clean about whether it turned down the chief electoral officer’s application to extend the time to investigate the governing party.

Also at today’s committee meeting, seven independent officers of the legislature had their budgets up for approval. The committee approved six of them.
MLA Brad Rutherford then moved to delay a decision about the auditor general’s budget. He says he wants more information. #ableg

Well said VW. I would like to contribute to your thread. Charity or Dāna as we Sanatanis like to call it is very much a part of our culture but it is quite different from that of Abrahamic faiths.

While the Izl@mic Zakat or xtian Charity is limited to people who adopts their faith the real meaning of Dāna,Dakshina & Bhiksha has all together a different purpose that doesn't come with the baggage of gaining something in return.
Many of our scriptures points out the duty, benefit and purpose of Dāna. Here are a few references from our Sanatani scriptures that attunes to charity.
In Bhagavad Gita, (17:20) Shri Krishna mentions that charity given without the expectation of anything in return is the highest form of Charity & is considered sattvik.
#BhagavadGita
#KrishnaLeela
In the next verse (17:21) Krishna particularly says charity given with any expectation of any reward or return or given with reluctance or grudges is not the highest form of charity thus emphasisg the selfless form of Dāna even more.

New propaganda going on that there is no concept of charity in Hinduism like christianity

Truth -
Christian charity is for conversion only,
Charity is not only part of Hinduism but hindu society is based on Charity.
