Total denial of justice, as in the cases of Naroda Gam, the Jaipur bombings & gangsters like Atiq Ahmed, is why faith in the system has fallen so low. It's what fuels vigilante culture.
Mau constituency, which goes to vote on 7 March, has been gangster-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari’s stronghold since 1996. He has won the seat five consecutive times.
Mukhtar Ansari, Atiq Ahmed, Indra Pratap Tiwari, Gayatri Prajapati…many politicians with a criminal past have been denied tickets by parties, kin chosen to retain support bases.
Hindi news channels spent most of their time following Mukhtar Ansari's journey from Punjab to UP prison. Elsewhere, cameras remain fixated with Amit Shah’s bald pate.
The Uttar Pradesh government, however, said a team of doctors of the Banda Medical College examined Mukhtar Ansari at the jail and no 'immediate' health issues were found by them.
Ansari was taken in an ambulance guarded by a posse of gun-toting security personnel throughout his 900-km journey from Rupnagar to the Uttar Pradesh town in Bundelkhand region.
Afshan, the wife of Mukhtar Ansari, pleaded that the UP MLA should be provided security when he is in Banda jail and during his transportation to court for trial proceedings.
While the commission didn’t mention provisions under which IndiGo's market domination would be examined, Competition Act 2002 prohibits abuse of dominant position by any enterprise.
It is argued that India-Israel ties are moving from buyer–seller dynamic to one focused on joint development & manufacturing partnership, a shift 'more durable' than traditional arms sales.
Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
