With the acquittal of the four accused in the Samjhauta train blast case, India loses the moral argument with the world on action against terrorists. The attack on Indian soil killed 70 people, but the failure to prosecute even after 12 years blunts India’s criticism of Pakistani inaction on terror.
Jet Airways bankruptcy process should start now, not after it’s defunct

Modi’s chowkidar chat is just poll gimmick, reflects badly on his 5-year term
PM Modi’s interaction with ‘25 lakh’ chowkidars is a classic election season stunt.

Gimmicks like this reflect poorly on Modi’s five-year record.
Bizarre analogy indeed.
