During Kargil, Vajpayee united the political class to secure national interest. Now, Modi’s BJP is fighting the opposition and PTI’s reporting as China watches.
Cash-strapped and under pressure for poor Covid-handling, Imran Khan government and Pakistan military are using an age-old strategy to shift attention.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh announced that the govt will allow its test facilities to be used by the private industry to meet the standards required for defence manufacturing.
Congress' Rahul Gandhi will be contesting his second Lok Sabha seat from Kerala's Wayanad apart from Amethi where he's in contest with BJP's Smriti Irani.

On 4 November 2025, NCLAT bench, comprising Chairperson Justice Ashok Bhushan and Member Arun Baroka, noted that WhatsApp and Meta are distinct legal entities.
This world is being restructured and redrawn by one man, and what’s his power? It’s not his formidable military. It’s trade. With China, it turned on him.
I think the reporter have got the dues of her views from the commentators. However, if still felt less it must be made clear to her that what she refers to as opposition perhaps does not know that it is writing it’s own obituary through its last badsha with the aid and advice of a group of jesters. It is only a matter of time.
The author should not equate Congress and BJP. One stands for liberal democracy, the other for Hindu fascism. If Sonia said maut ki saudagar, she was right. Modi organised a genocide and should never have been able to contest.
The author is correct ‘We’ve seen this before, of course. The battles at Plassey, Buxar, Seringapatam, to name a few – the country has been littered with the carcasses of Indians fighting Indians rather than the imperial invader — then, the East India Company.’
I see that happening before our eyes – Congress won as our freedom, but the Hindu communalists are disintegrating India by creating internal enemity. The past 6 years was that – lynchings, beating up journalists, students, women, and minorities, and CAA, NRC. Hence, the BJP divided the country as never before after 1947. On top of that Modi has had corrupt deals with Xi, allowing China to make inroads into controlling the Indian economy, in exchange for some investments in Gujarat. He has sold India for Gujarat. I would not be surprised of Xi did not contribute to Modi’s election campaign. Xi knows the amount of money the BJP spends for power, and he knows like the British before, the Hindu character, which can be bribed
rasgolla: People like you are just passive Islamic Jihadis!! For a definition of fascism see Islamic & Muslim history & prese4nt!! As far as congress is concerned we know how they gave Hindu lands to pisslam and cheated the nation & it’ people!!
As citizens we stand together in tough times such as this. A true leader should take everyone together as well. A sign of a thriving democracy is the freedom which the media enjoys. When opposition is weak, media should act as the watchdog of democracy.
The Journalist has been paid by China to publish this article to make it look like an infighting. Yellow journalism at its best. So shameless and bloody coward is The Print and is now shamelessly publishing it just to get readership. Shame on You, The Print. You are a coward and a traitor to India.
Every one knows the truth of Chinese occupation it’s on Google
Blind and biased ignore the truth and call the messenger the traitor
So long as Modi does not condone the corruption, and stop investigating the corrupt, forget about the political unity.
Everyone under the investigation will make his cause with China to somehow hit back at Modi. It is sad day when the learned people want to brush under the carpet the realities. (1) China is not a new problem (2) China is like a bully in the class who will have to be tolerated as gracefully as possible and await your chance to get even. There are adversaries within who will make a common cause the China if that is the only way to survive politically or legally.
So how can a politically united India fight the enemy at the gates if it is divided within?
ONLY ONE WAY: WITHDRAW ALL THE CASES OF CORRUPTION AND STOP THE INVESTIGATION.
THE RESULT OVERNIGHT WILL BE —- MODY, MODY, MODY, MODY form all pillars of democracy
“China has to stop the practice of transgressing and trying to erect structures on the Indian side of the LAC: Indian envoy to China,” Trying to Erect and ERected are not same.Opposition can ask specific questions in Parliament.
As expected, Jyoti is measuring up to her ‘high’ standards as she writes “Today, everyone knows the Chinese have intruded into Indian territory – with Google satellite images one finger click away, there’s no point in hiding the truth. Perhaps, PM Modi should take a deep breath and share the measure of the damage with the country. “. If google can tell you the exact position, why does Jyoti need PM to repeat it? She can believe her eyes and the map!
What is obvious is that she does not know (or want to know) the issue of Indo China border starting from McMohan line to 1962 to LAC to 2013. or difference between border post and patrolling post or ingress and transgress or difference between LOC and LAC. If she knew it, she would not have written this article and instead explained why government officials have to do this kind of tightrope walking on this issue.
Let us accept that the map of India we know is not the territory held by India and agreed by our neighbors. In fact, with China, a huge portion of our claimed territory is gobbled up by China since 1949 onward. LAC is a matter of perception and claims beyond what is physically controlled by us.
Jyoti, please keep cool, take deep breaths and allow PM and the army to their job.
No one gives a rats ass what Rahul Gandhi or his Mother have to say. It is the Englais Media that does. I guess they are not over their colonial mind sets. They think that the only party that has the right to rule is the Congress Party? What this disproportionate coverage to a party that has barely 50 seats?
I am a regular follower of the Print and also watch Shekar regularly. Did he not use the same Satellite images and say there has been no intrusion into Indian side of the LAC? Now we have Jyothi claims that any man with a computer can find out and tell that Chinese have intruded. This is a very strong claim. Does every one in the nation know where our boundary is? They are able to tell among the rugged mountain peaks where that invisible line goes? Come on let us be real. Without a fence I cannot even tell where my property ends, how am I supposed to tell where the borders of the nation are. We need to be a bit more responsible when we write an opinion piece. Most nations where borders are porous do not even care where that line is. Unless it goes through a very distinguishable land mark, one cannot tell. This is not to say Chinese have not intruded into a space that we think is ours. Hell all of that area we claim as ours. There is really no question of Chinese intrusion. It is just a matter of what is ok with us.
Lol ..your ignorance cracks me up ..that’s what we have gps coordinates for ..to tell exactly where borders start and end. And areas that were not even claimed by Chinese a few days ago are now firmly under their control and now they claim they entire Galwan valley which too they have never claimed before. But no keep defending this impotent government and keep saying to yourself “All is well”. Even international papers have reported how the Chinese engineers are manually diverting the Galwan River to claim even more land from India. But anyone in India darescreport this then they risk getting hit with lawsuits and loosing revenue and valued anti-national.
Oh, really? Nice. You paki or paki sympethiser using a hindu name, can you elaborate and explain what new territory has been annexed?

Rahul Gandhi abusing the prime minister and army in the middle of a crisis by saying that we have surrendered was very mature. That’s the leadership Ms. Malhotra likes
PTI being the mouthpiece of China’s communist party was free media and true journalism according to Ms Malhotra.
Indians are pushovers and gullible who would read such articles and believe this nonsense, that’s what Ms Malhotra thinks .
It’s Amazing that every article which criticises the government or Modi has reactions from a paid army of BJP to deny everything and worse criticise and even abuse the author instead.
Reverse is also true.
Every article that critisise o dia has a paki or pakistan sympethiser using a hindu name and supporting it.
I bow before your infinite wisdom . I bow before you for your ability to pretend to be willfully moron .
In true democracies this kind of problems would be there. Till recently the opposition was saying that democracy is in danger with NDA in power. Now it is prooved that democracy is thriving in India.
Excepting for this insignificant opposition the entire country is with the government and majority of countrymen are not influenced by the talks of some dissenting voices, which perhaps Xi Jinping also knows. Jai Hind.
It is a trash of an article with jyoti malhotra not having an iota of an idea what is she writing. Its a wierd concoction of facts by her. It is people like her mindeset that we the people of India understand that what people like her are upto . Therefore the govt is fighting on two fronts external as well as internal perenial Opposers. Because these people are in a habbitual habbit of saying exact opposite of the PM. We know this from the days of surgical strikes and Balakot strike. These people have only one agenda to oppose Mr Modi on everything.
Jyoti Basu was never a member of parliament, how come he’d spar with A. B. Vajpayee within the parliament. Also nobody can claim to have seen Jyoti Basu smiling, so when someone would say about seeing Jyoti Basu laugh, it becomes difficult to trust that report, even if it’s a generally a correct one.
During kargil war sonia indulged in same rant . The same typical allegations of failure of govt and intelligence were labelled on vajpayee govt. The author memory is failing her. Go to archives.
@Jyoti Malhotra Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Jyoti Basu were never been a member of the same legislative assembly or parliament. So the author’s anecdotal story is actually her imagination having a flight of fancy.
The journalist should know that Jyoti Basu was never a Member of Parliament. However, there was a CPM MP by the name Jyotirmoy Basu. In an article like this the facts must be verified.
The article has mentioned Jyotirmoy only. It seems you read the comments but not the article
This is typical Indian communist paid media like @theprint spin tactics!! NOT blaming the traitor Mulla congress party but blaming the BJP!!
I think the reporter have got the dues of her views from the commentators. However, if still felt less it must be made clear to her that what she refers to as opposition perhaps does not know that it is writing it’s own obituary through its last badsha with the aid and advice of a group of jesters.

Thank God! It is just the opinion of the author and not that of The Print!
All Jyotis of print are just the opposite of Jyoti in literal sense.
Articles are of dismal standards, mostly cabals peddled as journalism with ‘liberal bent’.
No fact check, no verification just word of mouth and heresy.
Cut the clutter says no intrusion she says intrusion as a matter of fact.
At this point I at loss of words.
The only thing going for her is she can speak English and creativity with words which is sufficient to qualify her as ‘liberal’.
Hindu communalists always have an inferiority complex about liberals. That is because your heads are filled with gobar.
Print,
Please edit/audit thoroughly before printing an article (even if it is of an author’s’ personal opinion).
Else, credibility will be lost!!!
“China has to stop the practice of transgressing and trying to erect structures on the Indian side of the LAC: Indian envoy to China,” Trying to Erect and ERected are not same.Opposition can ask specific questions in Parliament.
keep looking guys, Who tf asked for this opinion

The PM and army lost land. Are they doing their job ?
We can fight on all fronts simultaneously.

It seems you don’t know difference between Jyoti and Jyotirmoy
So much is not as it should be. Let us only pray there is no war simply to prove a point.
Again anti india
Kitna mila?sorry kitney mei bikhey?
Kab sudrenge re
And whom is your dear congress is fighting with?
However I agree with the general import of the article. Modi is fighting shadows instead of the Chinese.
