Supreme Court deserves praise for suo motu cancellation of the FIR accusing an Indore government law college principal of spreading hate by prescribing a “Hinduphobic” book. Criticism of MP government for such absurdities was long time coming. The state government’s misuse of the law for social vigilantism needed this rap.
Modi govt’s most articulate voices are out to calm investors. It’s a key constituency
Modi government is sensible to recognise a vital constituency reeling under politically loaded campaign barbs. Nirmala Sitharaman and S Jaishankar are good choices to calm investors’ election fears. Fund managers are trusted with investors’ money. Prudence demands they buy the India story instead of letting voting preferences cloud their judgement.
PM Modi’s significant shift on Hindu-Muslim politics is repair work after much damage
PM Modi is right that those who play Hindu-Muslim politics are unworthy of public life. It’s a significant shift after his ‘Musalman/Ghuspethiye/those with multiple children’ speech in Rajasthan. This is repair work after much damage. Now, if only his party colleagues take the cue from him and change tack accordingly.
A timely course correction. Much needed. May it draw a line in the sand. For both the election campaign and much that lies beyond it.
