Trump’s big beautiful bill in Congress will have a deficit disaster and inflation staring at America. He can’t say he will bring down taxes and interest rate and then expect the dollar grow stronger. Economy isn’t run on faith, gut feeling, and bluff and bluster. This is Erdogan-isation of Trump.
Census delay is inexcusable. Political convenience can’t be prioritised over governance
The delay in population census final data is inexcusable. The census process could have easily been expedited, especially because it’s being done digitally. We’ve already lived through a decade of policy planning without updated population count. India is flying blind. Political convenience can’t be prioritised over governance imperatives every time.
Goa taxi owners’ protest against aggregators is about losing monopoly. Govt mustn’t give in
Goa taxi owners’ protest against the possible introduction of app-based aggregators is purely out of fear of losing their monopoly. The self-serving opposition comes after years of opaqueness in fares that have hassled tourists. The government must not give in, even if it assesses concerns about aggregators hurting local jobs.
Hi The Print! Hi Mr. Shekhar Gupta!
We are indeed touched and deeply moved by your concern for Goa tourists.
For a change, why don’t you have an editorial take on the gross injustice meted out to Sharmishtha Panoli by the Kolkata Police. The fact that she got arrested for exercising her freedom of expression, however crude, should make you rant and rail. The vindictive manner in which Kolkata Police handled the case and arrested her swiftly is clearly a case of Muslim appeasement by the TMC government.
To add to it, the accuser Wajahat Khan has hone missing. Police forces from multiple states have been looking for him for objectionable comments on Hindu goddesses and he is untraceable. The fact that a person of such antecedents was allowed to file a case against Ms. Panoli and the Kolkata Police took it so seriously speaks volumes about the oppression and discrimination an average Hindu is being subjected to in the state of West Bengal. It is very clear that Ms. Panoli is being harassed and intimidated in order to please the Islamist votebank of Mamata Banerjee. The very same Islamist jihadis who had killed, raped and plundered Hindus in Murshidabad a few days ago – all under the patronage of the TMC govt.
You guys were prompt in putting out an editorial on the arrest of Ali Khan Mahmudabad. In fact, you took things further and slammed the Supreme Court for it’s observations on Mr. Mahmudabad. Where is your sense of justice and fairness now?
Or is it your case that “freedom of speech” only belongs to Muslims in India?
Public debt on track to hit $ 40 trillion. Interest rates will harden to 5% as the USD loses some of its AAA sheen. An annual interest outgo of $ 2 trillion.
