Wish more political leaders would raise such issues and expand our horizons of politics.
I travelled through Great Nicobar today.
These are the most extraordinary forests I have ever seen in my life. Trees older than memory. Forests that took generations to grow.
The people on this island are equally beautiful - both the adivasi communities and the settlers - but they are being robbed of what is rightfully theirs.
The government calls what it is doing here a “Project.” What I have seen is not a project. It is millions of trees marked for the axe. It is 160 square kilometres of rainforest condemned to die. It is communities that have been ignored while their homes have been snatched away.
This is not development. This is destruction dressed in development’s language.
So I will say it plainly, and I will keep saying it: what is being done in Great Nicobar is one of the biggest scams and gravest crimes against this country’s natural and tribal heritage in our lifetime.
It must be stopped. And it can be stopped - if Indians choose to see what I have seen.

Universal Health Coverage and HIV prevention go hand in hand.
Inclusive, affordable health systems mean people can access testing, treatment, & prevention without stigma or cost barriers.
On this #UniversalHealthCoverage Day, @UNAIDS reminds that inclusive, rights-based HIV services are essential to achieving health for all.

Canada has been a strong supporter of @GlobalFund and the fight to end the epidemics of AIDS, TB, and malaria.

At #WHS2025, UNAIDS' @Winnie_Byanyima called for fairer global taxation to fund global health and development.
“A 2% tax on just 3,000 billionaires could raise $1.7 trillion, enough to fund global health, climate adaptation, and education.”

Thankfully stigma of seeking help for mental health is reducing, young ppl r taking my seriously and taking proactive steps. As a mother to an amazing psychotherapist understand how difficult
but very crucial it is to take that first step to seek help. Kudos to therapists!

India has a huge role to play and continue the leadership role it has played over the years by investing in Health and communities. @G_C_T_A @KHPT @MoHFW_INDIA @PMOIndia @ddgtb2017 @TBHDJ @TbDivision
Ahead of the @GlobalFund's Eighth Replenishment, our Board Chair Lady Roslyn Morauta met with Smt. @AnupriyaSPatel, Honourable Union Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare, during high-level discussions in India.
They explored ways to deepen the strategic partnership between India & the Global Fund - building on the country's long-standing leadership in the fight against HIV, TB and malaria, and its role as a vital voice in global health and innovation.
Together, we can #EndEpidemics and build a healthier, safer, fairer future for all.
