The BJP used Modi to full effect to win the MCD polls. Losing on their home turf will hurt AAP the most and put a question mark on their preparations for Gujarat assembly polls.
RUHI TEWARI & RAJGOPAL SINGH
That the Modi government would actually dismantle the architecture of one of the UPA era’s most significant rural welfare programmes, and remove MK Gandhi’s name, took the Opposition by surprise.
It is argued that India-Israel ties are moving from buyer–seller dynamic to one focused on joint development & manufacturing partnership, a shift 'more durable' than traditional arms sales.
If Pathaan gave both conservatives and liberals room to hide, Dhurandhar extends no such courtesy. Aditya Dhar ripped open that tent of hypocrisy and turned the knife.
An introspection by judiciary is long over due. Almost every activity has a deadline,we are penalized for in almost everything from water bills to income tax for omission of last date. there is no such thing for court cases.
Some judgments have not brought any good name for the judiciary but most unfortunately gives feeling which is scary.
It’s time to tell the Supreme Court what we re telling Modi. You guys are not divinity or special. If you make mistakes, they ll be pointed out. Like you announce judgments, people will sit in judgment of your orders. Saying that all judges must be trusted blindly is the most hilarious thing I ve heard in judiciary. Atleast come up with a better excuse to deny a probe. The Judge Loya case is not about whether SC feels insulted or its ego is hurt or not. They are irrelevant, because they are all alive and cushy even if a tad offended. But Judge Loya has died. I hope you see the difference in the seriousness of the matter. A bunch of Judges annoyed that they were not believed VS a judge who died. Died means does not live anymore. Is not around to feel affronted and act petulant. Has stopped breathing and hence can’t defend himself. This was about Judge Loya. SC loses all credibility with decisions like this and their explanation. I think they can live with being affronted, as against being dead. I hope SC understands how juvenile they look here.
The judiciary is the most sacred institution in a democracy. In fact it is more significant than even the election commission since it is a fair and strong judiciary that gives integrity to every democratic institution in the country. Whenever there is a slight doubt in any incident involving judges be it a threat or an attempt to harm and in the rarest of cases murder , then the whole machinery of the government should move to remove any doubt that will indirectly influence the morale and judgement of judges in the country. Whether there was a conspiracy in the Judges death or not , the damage has been made. The damage is that for now on judges will think twice before producing a judgement against certain people. May be this atmosphere of doubt was what was intended from this whole episode. The sense of safety and security of a judge is not just the right of the judge as a citizen but it is the fundamental requirement for the judge which as the judiciary is an institution.

I read your first line as: The judiciary is the most scared organisations.
There is a risk now that the Congress will press ahead with the impeachment motion.
