EAM S Jaishankar’s firm defence of India-Russia ties underscores New Delhi’s refusal to abandon a trusted partner under external pressure. His rebuttal to Trump’s false claims on oil imports is factual. It is crystal clear that Russian oil is just a ruse and Trump’s real frustration with India lies elsewhere.
Betting must be legalised in India. It will generate revenue & counter terrorism
There’s a word for ‘online real money gaming’—betting. Even as Parliament has passed a bill to ban online gaming, betting must be legalised. Surrogates such as F&O trading exist and flourish. Legal betting will generate revenue for the state, create jobs and counter shadowy funding of criminal, terrorist activities.
FIR against Siddharth Varadarajan & others is misuse of power. Not everything is a conspiracy
Authorities across states must stay away from misusing power as they indiscriminately file FIRs against people such as Siddharth Varadarajan, Karan Thapar and Sanjay Kumar. There’s a fine line between upholding the law and going overboard with it. Not everything is a conspiracy against the state. Stop this FIR adventurism.
Siddharth Varadarajan and Karan Thapar are repeat offenders. They have maintained a sustained anti-India and anti-Hindu rhetoric all through and their journalism is simply about peddling a narrative – one manufactured by their ideological masters holding distinguished academic position in leading Western universities.
There are quite a few from the same cabal working at The Print itself (e.g. Shailaja Bajpai, Rama Lakshmi, etc.). No wonder The Print is so aggrieved at the FIRs against Siddharth and Karan.
