When lynching, hate speech and bulldozer politics do not speedily invite the wrath of courts, then something is wrong with the third pillar of governance.
While releasing 'India Employment Report 2024', V Anantha Nageswaran said govt can't solve 'all social, economic challenges'. Congress leader Kharge says CEA protecting 'dear leader'.
In an interview with Gulistan News this week, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said the government would leave law and order to J&K Police and slowly withdraw troops.
The ‘idea’ Kejriwal's politics grew around was a no-holds-barred fight against corruption. That is the reason Modi govt has now tarred him and his entire party with the same paint.
Good peace but, with due apologies, some of your assumptions are driven by either goodness of heart or are simply naive. Probably you do not seem to know that the few Pakistani ‘peaceniks’ you know or may have come across on social media do it as part of their job. They are paid salaries in millions just to pretend to be peaceful, not to mention frequent foreign visits with stay at five-star hotels. I do not know a single Pakistani peacenik who would agree with any of the points you have made in this piece about Hafiz Sayeed or Masood Azhar. Did you see any banner against them at the protests that seem to inspire you so much? You never shall. Finally, lest one forgets, if an intelligence agency can co-opt the services of the likes of Sagarika Bose, don’t you think that it would have done that successfully in the country it runs by hook or crook. Rest I leave to your imagination but do keep up the good work. Best wishes!
I too am a silly romantic like the columnist. Peace is difficult, and at the official level it no longer seems like a priority. Some elements of the media spew out so much venom, some of it is bound to soak into our collective consciousness. 2. The use of terror to change the status quo in Kashmir is hurting Pakistan as much as it is hurting us. The deep state needs to do a cost benefit analysis, move away from this strategy, lest it lead to war.
Finally a sane article from Vij. Don’t become peacenik just for the sake of it. We all want peace but not when our people are being killed slowly.
