L. Narasimha Reddy quit COI Tuesday within minutes of being informed about apex court’s reservations over his press briefing about the panel formed to look into power purchases.
If there is bad blood between the CEC and the Opposition leaders, it will shake the people’s faith in election results. It’s the worst thing that could happen to Indian democracy.
Indian toymakers are now exploring new markets, but they want govt to negotiate a trade deal with US soon, introduce incentives and subsidies to make the industry more competitive.
The deal, believed to be paid for by a third nation, will give the Sudanese Armed Forces access to light attack aircraft, engines, armoured fighting vehicles & unmanned aerial vehicles.
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?
Indian journalists are always trying to one -up the judiciary. They are always on the hunt for ex-judges, at times even of sitting judges.
Every single decision taken by the judges, including those in their private lives, are subject to merciless scrutiny by the media. For example, ex-CJI Mr. Ranjan Gogoi was sent to the Rajya Sabha post retirement by the BJP. Every single media outfit, especially the Left-liberal ones, came up with all kinds of quid-pro-quo theories and questioned his integrity and character.
While journalists, self proclaimed fourth pillar of democracy, can join political parties all the time and even hop from one party to another without copping a blow from the media.
Ms. Sagarika Ghose was sent to Rajya Sabha on a TMC ticket but not a single media outlet criticised her decision. Rather, outlets like The Print provided her with a platform to air her views. The message is very simple and clear –
“If you are from the media fraternity, you can do as you please. Nobody would question your decisions, career choices, integrity and character. In short you have a free pass.”
