Punjab CM Captain Amarinder Singh turned down Pakistan's invitation for Kartarpur corridor ceremony and said, "I will not go to Pakistan till violence stops"....
New books commissioned by Captain Amarinder Singh’s Punjab govt have also been withdrawn, after SAD accused them of insulting Sikh Gurus & many discrepancies.
The Gurdaspur Lok Sabha seat in Punjab and Vengara, an assembly segment in Mallapuram district in Kerala suddenly caught the national imagination Sunday.
The claim that VB-GRAMG provides an employment guarantee is incorrect. The only guarantee is to 'empower' the Centre to allow partial implementation in notified areas alone.
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.
Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
With the army jawan involved in the Bulandshahr violence, it seems that communal disharmony and communal disharmony is slowly creeping into our armed forces. This doubt NEVER was there all this time. The entire nation has been exposed to communal hatred and distrust. How can there be SAB KA VIKAS when there is no SAB KA VISHWAS. Progress will never happen in a country when there is communal stress and disharmony. We all forget, and more so the self proclaimed politicians, that we are first human beings before we are nationals of any country. Religion, culture, food and traditions are all personal provided they do not infringe on the common NATURAL RIGHTS of an individual. We should pledge first to respect and love fellowmen before we brand them as anti national.
Unfortunately our country has so called terrorists classified as Tribal Naxals, and tribal Maoists. Recently a new class of terrorists has been classified as Urban Naxals and Maoists. I am yet to know the reasons for our own countrymen revolting against our own government. Unfortunately any investigation into this matter is considered and termed anti national and citizens with distinguished credentials are arrested and jailed by the authorities under suspicion. Why not ask the “Naxals/Maoists and the “Urban Naxals/Maoists be called for an honourable and fair and open discussion to understand the problems, difficulties, and issues faced by the suspect citizens. Let there be a coming together of sociologists and other academics and the government to resolve issues rather than just accuse, kill and jail our own citizens.
