As Modi govt revokes Aatish Taseer’s OCI card over his Pakistani roots, here’s what Shekhar Gupta wrote in January 2011 about his politician father Salman Taseer after he was assassinated.
With the assassination of Salman Taseer, Pakistan lost one of its most articulate, modern and fearless liberal leaders who was a genuine Pakistani patriot and a proud Muslim.
While main elements behind terror module have been nabbed, more arrests will take place, including some professors & academicians who were part of the ring, it is learnt.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
Salmaan Taseer infamaously advised India to continue making bollywood movies rather than try PSLV. 4 Years later we were on the moon and he was somewhere else! Wished he was present to see his foot in mouth disease!
Being exception to law in our country a is right for a select few. Particularly when there are friends in high places and with money. Most of the times the friends do not even have to put in a word. It is just enough as long as these friendships are put on public display. The trouble starts when favours get exposed under a regime which does not recognise such privileges. The way out then is by playing a victim card. OCI must be rule based, if requirements are not met it will not be granted. If the authorities are not satisfied there are leagr resources, which are more easily accessible to select few.
Well said! Lie to the govt and then play the victim card when caught. Knowing very well the leftist mainstream press, The Print included, will then mount a shrill campaign since these liberal pseuds (who in fact are most illiberal) believe law does not apply to them.
He is son of Pakistani and Pakistani and terrorist are synonym of each other.

The way Aatish wrote the article in Time was bad.it was sticking a dagger into the image of Modi
So what??
