Since Pakistan PM Imran Khan's announcement to release Indian pilot Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman, some liberals have seemingly gone into an overdrive with their adulation of Imran Khan.
Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan told parliament that captured Indian Air Force Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman will be released Friday ‘as a peace gesture’.
The Indian Air Force targeted terrorist training camps at three locations inside Pakistan early Tuesday, less than a fortnight after the Pulwama attack.
It would be a disservice to the women of Hassan to look at Prajwal Revanna’s alleged abuse of power as a ‘sex scandal’. Allegations against him show what ‘absolute power corrupts absolutely’ actually means.
Air India’s new policy, effective from 2 May, introduces new weight limits for tickets in each of the different 'fare families' — Comfort, Comfort Plus, and Flex.
New Delhi has, in past, too, objected to Chinese construction activities in Shaksgam Valley. Work in this strategic region gathered pace after the 2017 Doklam stand-off.
A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
After watching Cut the Clutter, further doubts arise. It is one thing for the Supreme Court to pass an order on merits. Decide and be damned. So long as the judgment is sound on law, the losing side has no recourse, except come onto the streets in protest, as happened with the Cauvery river award. However, any final order, based on mediation, would incur the wrath of the losing side, which would feel cheated and let down. 2. What precisely is the sanctity of mediation ? Many are questioning the impartiality of Sri Sri, who said there would be bloodshed if the verdict is against the temple. One billion Hindus on one side, 180 million Muslims in the other – to put it in very crude terms – neither will accept the fruit of the endeavours of three men, including two erudite men of law whose names 99.9% of Indians are unfamiliar with. Whom will they talk to, during the course of mediation, apart from the litigants ? 3. I agree with Shri Shekhar Gupta that the apex court has placed a lot of its institutional capital on the outcome very uncertain, if not fruitless, enterprise. Place a hand on your heart and say whether, in today’s India, it is possible that the result of the mediation will uphold the rights of the Muslim community to a piece of hallowed ground on which a place of worship for their community had stood secure for more than 450 years. As a fair minded Hindu, it seems to me that, one way or another, the whole effort will be to beguile, seduce, bully, threaten, coerce – depending on what works best – the Muslim community into acquiescing into the construction of a temple on this site.
This is an example on how court and justice want to pass the buck to future justices. they have no idea of the feelings of people – both Hindu and Muslims, which can again cause a disaster like 6th Dec. Hope we remember that at that time also HC reserved their judgement and came out only after a disaster.
May be court want to exercise all options before providing any judgement but this exercise will not give any result.
Why Sri Sri ? By what qualification?
