Disenfranchisement by institutional fiat is profoundly undemocratic. The effect of the ECI's new documentary process in Bihar will tilt the scales in favour of the BJP.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
1. This article provides a good analysis of what happened when BJP was opposition party. All parties have to share blame for disruption of Parliament proceedings. 2. I think there are absolutely no valid reasons for disruptions and therefore they can never be justified. But still we find that Members of Parliament (MPs) disrupt proceedings of both Houses very frequently. 3. Time has come for right-thinking and concerned citizens to come together and write to all MPs an open letter demanding a change in rules of conducting business of both houses of Parliament. Citizens should demand that an MP resorting to disruption of business of Parliament for any reason whatsoever should first be reprimanded for first act of disruption. For every subsequent act of disruption concerned MP would be awarded a ‘punishment’ in the form of his/her suspension from Parliament. 4. New Rules of conducting business of Parliament should be approved so that presiding officers of both houses of Parliament are empowered to suspend any MP /MPs for causing disruption of Parliament’s business. Period of suspension would be longer for frequent disruptions. I know that this is all utopian expectation but still I wish to write about it.
