The PM did make a valid point when he criticised the Congress for categorising the entire Muslim community in Karnataka under the Other Backward Classes. It is pure appeasement of Ashraaf Muslims and discriminates against Pasmandas.
Speaking at launch of economist Surjit Bhalla’s book, S Jaishankar also highlights Gen Z’s engagement with ‘reel culture’, which has 'promoted awareness, created interest in many subjects'.
Germany’s erstwhile Christian Democratic Union govt, led by Angela Merkel, prevented sale of small arms to police forces in states they perceived had ‘bad human rights record’.
Yes, the centre would do an excellent job of solving the problem by arresting anyone who says otherwise.
Don’t be daft. If the last few months have shown us anything, it’s that the centre is completely incompetent, and this has been covered in great depth on your website. I actually live in Maharashtra unlike you, and I think the government is doing a passable job. Please back up your statement that the centre should help with an argument. What could the centre help with?
Don’t think it correct to include Gujarat in the list. The numbers of infected are less than 10,000. Ahmadabad is a hotspot since it is also densely populated and has many slums. But then so are Delhi, Banguluru and Channai . Maharashtra takes the cake for the casual manner of tackling the infection. Unless the State governments ask for help, the center will not intervene in any way.
Watched an interview with Lt Gen Hooda in which he said that these face offs are different from what has happened in the past, mainly due to differences in the perception of where the LAC lies and aggressive patrolling by both sides. He feels there is a higher political direction to what the PLA is doing and that it is time now to invoke diplomacy. There is no prospect of local military commanders resolving this issue.
Without getting into the politics of it, it is a fact that both Maharashtra and Gujarat, led by their capital cities, are failing to deal effectively with the medical challenge posed by the coronavirus. Any reopening of the economy and its restoration to normalcy and health requires these two premier industrial and commercial states to be in the forefront. Without differentiating between the two states, the Centre needs to play a mentorship role. Support state governments that are struggling to cope.
I agree. It should be finalised in consultation with the states, take into account their legitimate fears and reservations to opening up, rest on the best medical evaluation of where we are in relation to further spread.
