Des dizaines d\u2019opposants arr\xeat\xe9s \xe0 Hong Kong. La d\xe9mocratie HK meurt sous nos yeux. Et la priorit\xe9 de nos chers dirigeants europ\xe9ens est de nous vendre leur accord d\u2019investissement avec P\xe9kin... Comment peut-on \xeatre \xe0 ce point \xe0 contre-temps? https://t.co/zy1xaqIYdB

From 🇪🇺: One of the three German politicians vying to lead Merkel’s CDU party became the first major European voice to link today’s mass arrests in Hong Kong with the EU-China investment deal.
Mehr als 50 Oppositionelle wurden in #HongKong festgenommen. Grundlage ist das neue #Sicherheitsgesetz, das #China als Waffe gegen die Demokratie dient. Wenn \U0001f1ea\U0001f1fa ein Abkommen mit \U0001f1e8\U0001f1f3 schlie\xdft, dann darf es dessen Methoden, inklusive Vertragsbruch & Unterdr\xfcckung, nicht ignorieren. https://t.co/VEXeVm1w2Z

2) Also shows that BJ doesn't have a clue about how EU works or simply doesn't care if the CAI-deal really goes through. What BJ is doing in HK will make it even less probable that the EU parliament will ratify CAI.

Very concerned about mass arrests of pro-democracy politicians and activists among other worrying developments in Hong Kong. The exercise of the human rights and freedoms guaranteed under Hong Kong\u2019s Basic Law must be ensured.

Trade does not take place in a vacuum - these actions mark a violation of the spirit of the #EU-#China investment deal sustainability commitments. This is clearly not a basis for constructive cooperation. https://t.co/TZo1MwarbS

➡️ EU Parliament “will never ratify” deal without “proof that the human rights of Hong Kongers, Uyghurs & Tibetans improve”. https://t.co/fXdaQgPhHx
Arrests again show that China is not becoming more open & democratic as a result of international agreements.

EP will never ratify the China Comprehensive Agreement on Investment without commitments & proof that the human rights of Hong Kongers, Uyghurs & Tibetans improve https://t.co/ninBU23bNM
• raising issue at UN Security Council
• sanctioning “at least” Carrie Lam
• providing lifeboat to persecuted democrats on member-state level

The mass arrest of politicians & activists in Hong Kong is a grievous attack on rights and freedoms.

These arrests demonstrate the intended use of the National Security law is to clamp down on dissent and opposing political views.https://t.co/geroW3SENO

Now Suniti was the daughter of a tribal chief while Suruchi was the daughter of a rich king. Hence Suruchi was always favored the most by Raja while Suniti was ignored. But while Suniti was gentle & kind hearted by nature Suruchi was venomous inside.
#KrishnaLeela
The story is of a time when ideally the eldest son of the king becomes the heir to the throne. Hence the sinhasan of the Raja belonged to Dhruva.This is why Suruchi who was the 2nd wife nourished poison in her heart for Dhruva as she knew her son will never get the throne.
One day when Dhruva was just 5 years old he went on to sit on his father's lap. Suruchi, the jealous queen, got enraged and shoved him away from Raja as she never wanted Raja to shower Dhruva with his fatherly affection.
Dhruva protested questioning his step mother "why can't i sit on my own father's lap?" A furious Suruchi berated him saying "only God can allow him that privilege. Go ask him"
