Mehbooba Mufti, the PDP chief and former Jammu and Kashmir CM, said that India should give proof of Pakistan's link to Pulwama to see what Imran Khan does.
The proposed amendment to the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code aims to reduce timelines and provide for a mechanism that involves minimal interaction with the court. It fails on both counts.
Open to public feedback until 26 November, the revised guidelines, among other changes, give CA firms more flexibility to advertise & promote their services.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
The writer seems to think that everyone should act like RG does, like a “jack in the bo2x, popping up everywhere with half baked opinions and responses. A leader needs to have all the facts anf then respond in a mature way, unlike a boy throwing stones and running like RG.
writer has everything said right about modi. Thats the tactics he always follows.
@Giri When you say ‘A Leader needs to….respond in a mature way,’ That is the exact image Modi wants to portray. It is not ‘mature’ to let violence continue for 3 days leading to 20+ dead. Try to analyse without bias.
Very good article. This author has retained her journalistic balance, unlike some others on THE PRINT who seem to be working under the strong spell of Modi-magic.
What she reminds us about Guna Dalits is something I was reminded of only yesterday. I was shocked to see Modi ji washing the feet of sanitary workers at the Kumbh. Is it the same gentleman, I asked myself, who didn’t utter even a word when those Guna men were thrashed mercilessly and in full public view?! They were not only humiliated, but half-orphaned. By that I mean, they felt so disgusted that they changed their religion and adopted Buddhism. Changing one’s religion is adopting new deities, which is like adopting new “parents” because one’s old parents are dead! More than disgusting, that can be a very SAD experience, as if one had been virtually orphaned, because we indeed look upon our deities as our “mai-baap”.
If only Mr Modi had promptly issued a quick message of disapproval, I’m sure those Guna men would still be Hindus. So much for his Hindutva and his hollow boast of “sabka saath”….
But I must explain more fully why I was “shocked” to see Modi ji washing their feet. I see a very OMINOUS message in this: is he so desperate to win elections??? If Mr Modi is so desperate to win the coming elections, then I must, in all honesty, quote a part of my comment that I had offered to another of THE PRINT’s articles few days back. While working my meagre brains over different scenarios for the Pulwama attack on 14 February, I had worked out the following as the third possibility:
“3) Or, in the complete list of possibilities, remote and not-so-remote, there is one more shrewd arrangement of pawns on the chessboard that cannot be rejected out of hand — the Pulwana blast was unwittingly encouraged by LOCAL SYMPATHIZERS of the present government when they saw it losing ground due to incessant criticisms by the opposition, including about the Rafale, by DELIBERATELY IGNORING THE FACT THAT THE CONVOY MOVEMENT WAS OCCURRING SO CLOSE TO AFZAL GURU’S DEATH ANNIVERSARY, believing that some terror attach will create a surgical strike type possibility which will give the government a nation-uniting narrative, foolishly not realizing that the attack MIGHT TURN OUT TO BE SO HUGE??!!!”
(I was hinting at a deliberate “looking the other way”, or a deliberate “intelligence failure”)
I say the above without malice towards any political party, or as a favor to any other political party, and I pray to my God, as always, to protect me, and to give me strength and wisdom to be impartial.
Narendra Modi’s cunning plans to promote RSS communal divide and also spout humane sentiments has been obvious from day one. Fascist dictator Adolf Hitler practised the same fiendish ploy to unleash his Nazi stormtroopers and violently assault Jews, Romanians & political opponents & later – much later – publicly appeal for an end to violence, however justified !
Mr Aaditya Thackeray has won praise for his words that J & K is an integral part of India, the angst of people over Pulwama is understandable but that it should be directed towards terrorism, not innocent Kashmiris. He followed it up by expelling some party members who had attacked two Kashmiris in Yavatmal, in Vidarbha. Also a great pity that chief secretaries and DGPs now require to be nudged by the apex court to perform their most basic functions.
He maybe culprit of taking time to condemn such incidents but the left-brigade is equally culprit in cooking up stories to implicate him in these incidents! So no one here is holier than thou. Clearly left leaning intellectuals should realise that Modi won’t let them call shots on what he should do or not. If the left-leaning people think beyond their agenda and behave responsibly in a national interest then Modi may listen to them. Otherwise it would be like dogs barking and the elephant ignoring them.

No one is ashamed of bigotry now !!
Why ??
Because hate has found a market or no one is afraid of law of the land
Left is solely responsible for minority extremism terrorism and fundamentalism. They are the generous supporters of these.

The same thing Barrister Owaisi said yesterday at Shivaji Park grand public meeting of Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi.
