The last time this matter flared up was when Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, in a very similar directive in April, called for the relocation of stray dogs in the capital.
Finance ministry says the proposed revamp will focus on structural reforms, rate rationalisation & ease of living, & will be deliberated upon in the coming weeks.
The project is meant to be a ‘protective shield that will keep expanding’, the PM said. It is on the lines of the ‘Golden Dome’ announced by Trump, it is learnt.
Now that both IAF and PAF have made formal claims of having shot down the other’s aircraft in the 87-hour war in May, we can ask a larger question: do such numbers really matter?
Very poorly written article.
Let accept the fact that the State of Kerala needs a huge amount of money for reconstruction. Just do not understand the logic of the author in saying that there is no need to revisit the “Singh doctrine”. So what is the way out?
If the government of India has the financial capacity and willingness to help Kerala, then it is well taken. The current position of the Modi government seems to be that they won’t give money and will not allow Kerala state to accept money from anywhere!!!!
Rupa Subramanya, plz try to understand the situation in Kerala before writing articles. You are just doing harm to the flood victims by spoiling their chance to rebuild life!!!
The author is very ambiguous in her arguments. If Kerala were to say, express your respect by doing A and not B, only then it’s “kind”, will that be fair? With that yard stick, even Indians shouldn’t write checks, instead go do field works in Kerala (of course that is needed). But not all can! Ideological hooliganism commentary on natural disaster should not be appreciated.
If the author believes it so much, she should argue it comprehensively. Not with selective examples and whataboutary.
To be perfectly clear eyed in today’s world, especially when men like Trump write the rules, no one owes anybody anything. The good people of Kerala have no “ right “ to help from UAE. They have contributed much more to Saudi Arabia. So it is extraordinarily magnanimous and gracious of HH Sheikh Mohammed to offer $ 100 million towards the immense reconstruction effort, which would cost at least $ 3 billion. Whether a cheque is the best option or their government should actually participate physically, on the ground, perhaps the Government of Kerala would be the best judge. GoI may be pleased to allow the noble transaction to be consummated.
