Verified: The Indian Express (updated Feb. 12, 2026) reproduces the full wording and says it was written by Hieu Pham in an X post; Hindustan Times independently reports the same wording and attribution. The X URL itself was not retrievable in this tool, but the quote is consistently reported as Pham’s post from February 2026.
