The last time this matter flared up was when Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, in a very similar directive in April, called for the relocation of stray dogs in the capital.
Finance ministry says the proposed revamp will focus on structural reforms, rate rationalisation & ease of living, & will be deliberated upon in the coming weeks.
The project is meant to be a ‘protective shield that will keep expanding’, the PM said. It is on the lines of the ‘Golden Dome’ announced by Trump, it is learnt.
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?
The land of a million mutinies did not lose an inch of sovereign territory in living memory. These are the safety valves of democracy. Think of the JP movement. Although one would not commit sacrilege by uttering Anna’s name in the same breath, UPA II had created conditions which required people to be on the streets. Or individual acts like the desecration of Nirbhaya. For that matter, tens of thousands of brave Burmese, in Rangoon and other cities protesting the military coup, handing roses to the soldiers, who dare not fire, lest the world fall upon their brittle junta like a ton of bricks. Democracy is not Utopia, but it is the best we have. Let us make a success of it.
Fresh fruit would be better. Also help our farmers. Please eat apples from Kashmir, not Washington state.
