Punjab politician Gurdas Singh Badal, who passed away last Friday, made patience the hallmark of his life, both political and personal, writes son Manpreet Singh Badal
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?
Sincere condolences. In my working of 15 years in Punjab with the police services, I never got posted to Malwa region. And had I been, I would for sure have gone to meet him. But have heard enough about him. And it corresponds to what has been narrated by the grateful son. I imagine that my late father had many of the similar qualities especially about earthly wisdom and witticism. Even during the political differences between the writer and his cousin brother, the two elder maintained their cordiality and sociability – at least that is what I understand. This large-heartedness and statesmanship transcends today’s partisanship and nepotism. May God rest his soul in peace.

Great son of a great father
