In today’s featured cartoon, Kirtish Bhatt draws a cheeky comparison between India and Israel, where massive protests are underway against judicial reforms proposed by the country’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. The cartoon shows a politician telling a journalist that he doesn’t know why other countries don’t take lessons from India on how to live together in peace and harmony.
Pen Pencil Draw takes a dig at the knee-jerk reaction to reports of dog bites and children being attacked or killed by stray canines, as the government’s failure to effectively execute animal birth control (sterilisations) and vaccination takes a backseat in the people vs stray dogs conflict.
Alok Nirantar draws on the government’s decision to levy a fine of Rs 1000 on those who fail to link their PAN with Aadhaar by deadline, yet another task for the common man already bogged down by other such directions.
Satish Acharya takes a dig at the media coverage of convicted UP MP Atiq Ahmed’s movements, including a live news segment where he can be seen relieving himself on the roadside while being transferred to a jail in UP.
Irshad Kaptan too pokes fun at how the media has been tracking Atiq Ahmed’s every move.
