A 5-member bench led by CJP Saqib Nisar upheld the Islamabad High Court's verdict to set free Sharif, his daughter and son-in-law in the Avenfield corruption case.
While bond yields tend to fall amid low inflation & interest rate cuts, market experts say they’ve been rising due to concerns over tax collections, fiscal deficit & potential impact of US tariffs.
It is one of the most advanced long-range air defence and anti-missile radars. It has been acquired under an about USD 145-million deal signed in 2020.
In its toughest time in decades because of floods, Punjab would’ve expected PM Modi to visit. If he has the time for a Bihar tour, why not a short visit to next-door Punjab?
Anyone who has lived in India, knows the “profile” of a typical BJP voter (or erstwhile Jan Sangh’s). They are “business people” — from small shop keepers to right up the ladder, big business tycoons. Again, anyone who has lived in India, KNOWS that all businessmen, all the time, are making money by SOME sleight of hand or another. 50,000 rupees do not become 80,00,000,00 (80 crores) just like that.
That means, AALL the leaders of the BJP must oversee and overlook the “khane ka kaam” that their voters are doing all the time, otherwise these businessmen-voters will not allow those individuals to become “leaders” in the BJP.
Same holds true for Mr Modi — BY DEFAULT. That, Mr Modi is aware of, despite pious claims, and is OVERSEEING & OVERLOOKING — kaun-kaun kitna-kitna kha raha hai. Period. His high sounding claim of “na khane doonga” is pure balderdash.
As for the first part of his claim — “na khaoonga,” I must say I have my doubts. These doubts have arisen lately when I got to know that he uses a Mont Blanc that costs a lakh of rupees, and other branded items costing similar amounts. His gold-thread suit costed 10 lakhs. Quite possibly these items were not accepted as “gifts” from unknown people, but as the highest officer of the country he was entitled to order the government to buy them for him. That’s possible. But doesn’t it bracket him with people who have a liking for money and things that money can buy?! OSHO used to call himself a saint, but he had 100 Rolce Royces in his garages. (Please correct if my spellings are wrong; I’m talking of that legendary British motorcar.) Then, for indirect “na khaoonga” part of Mr Modi’s claim, someone can argue about the crores spent on his unnecessary photograph in all government ads. and his hundred odd foreign trips, many of them possibly unnecessary. And hello! What about Anil Ambani?! His Rafale dole of 30000 crores, was it ALL going to be spent for some charitable cause?!
Jyoti Malhotra is a senior and seasoned journalist. It is disappointing that this statement of Mr Modi, na khaoonga na khane doonga has passed her journalistic-glower without a comment, and not just that, she has based an entire narrative on it which puts Mr Modi in a benign light. This, when elections are nearing, can be called what?!
Really nice if Modi government is trying to capture and bring these people back to India. Because there is a negative image of Modi government among people about this case. And if government try to capture them it will give a solid response to opposition parties.
Each fugitive who is dragged back, complete with diamond ear studs, to face the legal / judicial system, is good news. That undoes their flight in the first place, attributable to a little carelessness, perhaps. However, at the end of term, it is difficult to recreate the pristine nature of the inauguration. Think of the journey the Ganga essays, from Gaumukh to Sand Heads in the Bay of Bengal. Those who were hoping for some last minute magical transformation are likely to be disappointed. The Budget, itself, added up to just five hundred rupees per month to farm families.
