Dharmendra Pradhan's remarks came after Congress leaders raised doubts on the approval of Bharat Biotech's vaccine, for restricted use, while its 3rd phase trial is still underway.
An Indian Army veteran who joined Skill India writes that Dharmendra Pradhan was not pleased when he was questioned in keeping with rules he had himself laid down.
Without my phone, I wasn't thinking about capturing some beautiful textiles for my ‘inspiration gallery’. I was fully present, taking in the colours and patterns on display.
SEBI probe concluded that purported loans and fund transfers were paid back in full and did not amount to deceptive market practices or unreported related party transactions.

Many really smart people now share the position that playing cricket with Pakistan is politically, strategically and morally wrong. It is just a poor appreciation of competitive sport.
Entertainment unregulated. We the people, since Independence (a reference point as the beginning of Indian polity) have had a staple of controversies of every size, shape, fragrance, colour, feel and flavour. Controversies in diversity are but a natural occurrence. But We the people (including the media) find one in any and everything. The irony is that most of these controversies have been at best more entertaining than delivering any benefit to the “controversial” issues. It has only slowed progress. And then we want the Governments to deliver always and every time. Has this also contributed to India being a laggard democracy? Yes, it sure has.
For instance, in this case of vaccines; these are unprecedented times requiring unprecedented action. Now and then, at least, place full faith in our system. Remember, it is We the people who created this system. I believe a logic has been rightly applied in clearing the vaccines. The different rules for use the two approved vaccines indicate that great thoughts have been applied during consideration for use. My request to media is to encourage in keeping politics away from matters where it is NOT required. Like the ubiquitous potato in every curry, politics need not be an ingredient in every discussion. Opposition also does not mean literally opposing any and every Government action.
It is time We the people (and the media) changed the narrative. Laggards can never catch up.
And you didn’t think your BJP ministers were Mand Buddhi when they were touting cow dung, cow urine as covid miracle cures, and as protection from nuclear radiation?

Science and faith are incompatible. Faith needs unflinching trust while science itself encourages incessant questioning to disprove false ideas.
