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?
Cutting a sorry figure on various other fronts, BJP for want of issues, to go in for face saving found this suitable one to utilise as a cover up !
Sans any doubt, a non-issue was projected as an issue worthy of celebrations for scoring browny points !
The act of politicising defence forces in wake of polls drawing near is certainly not a good precedent but on the contrary it reflects hollowness on the part of the ruling dispensation !
The nation is facing the music on a large number of fronts ! That is why this energy and time should have been utilised for addressing and resolving sensitive riddles, subjects and themes troubling and tormenting the nation for pretty long a period !
Sheer frittering away of human resources , time and energies – EXERCISE – to distract public attention from the burning problems of the day !
For how long time can be marked like this escaping harsh realities and complexities of the nation on ground ?
It would have been a good investment to have appointed a first rate professional as Media Advisor at the outset. Also to take a contingent of fifteen or so journalists on each foreign visit. The model of one way communication through Twitter and other similar means could sustain itself only during the honeymoon period. Senior functionaries disdained and disparaged media professionals, although they have been exceptionally courteous and patient. Now, when times have changed, a difficult election looms, issues of contention and controversy have arisen, the communication strategy is being shown up as inadequate.
BJP had no worthwhile achievements to show. Firing from the shoulders of soldiers for whom they have otherwise done nothing. Bloody sad.
