"The rule of law was sought to be replaced by a politically dangerous principle that Indira Gandhi was indispensable. A situation was created for the party to rally behind her."
In a 2005 Walk The Talk, then RSS chief K.S. Sudarshan praised Indira Gandhi, saying she had a good understanding of the people, their needs, and the country.
The BJP’s line of defence in the K.M. Joseph issue raises two questions. Does the law minister mean that ‘irregular’ appointments are justified because there is precedent?
A. Parthasarathi’s book claims Indira Gandhi received a secret telegram from then Soviet President Brezhnev who pledged military support if she decided to ‘re-take’ PoK.
The world watched aghast as police armed with tasers, tear-gas masks—and in one case backed up by snipers—arrested hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters at universities across the United States.
Germany’s erstwhile Christian Democratic Union govt, led by Angela Merkel, prevented sale of small arms to police forces in states they perceived had ‘bad human rights record’.
A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
Jaitley gave graphic details of emergency. Sadly he is now on the other side with a lot of similarities. Modi is highly popular. He also believes black money is root cause of all problems. So he purged 86% cash overnight. One can write volumes on such escapades. Only hope is he will not impose emergency again.
Poor Mr Arun Jaitley, he has nothing to speak well of himself and therefore is indulging in speaking ill of the dead.
What did he do ad Defence Minister? Delayed the approval of OROP! Refused to grant Non-Functional Upgradation (NFU) and Dynamic Assured Career Progression! Agreed to pay Rs 99 per day as ration money for officers making it worse than the MNREGA amount paid to labourers/unemployed!
What did he do as Fin Min? Gor the Govt to pay for his surgery! Stretched the stressed assets and NPAs! Had his own word thrown back at him about the opposition can stop Parliament from working!
