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.
Indira Gandhi did the same during the Emergency, and now Modi is following in her steps. Dictators cannot bear any opposition or criticism, and can be very very vindictive.
1. I can certainly understand why the author of this article, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, feels agitated. He has every right to be critical of NDA government’s policies which in his opinion are a danger to our country’s democracy. 2. However, I think author or his political party, the Congress, have no moral right to talk about dangers to our democracy just because BJP is the ruling party. 3. I wish to remind the author that during many years of the Congress party’s rule, political class joined hands with corrupt bureaucracy and businessmen and made huge money at cost of exchequer, most of which was unaccounted and misused to fund and win elections. Widespread corruption is, let me tell Mr Tharoor, the biggest danger to our democracy and the major culprit in creation of nexus between corrupt bureaucracy and politicians is the Congress party. 4. Incidental observations: (a) the Congress party has no moral right to speak about its record on protection of minorities. (b) As regards poor Muslims the Congress has used them as vote-banks but did nothing to improve their income. (c) As regards the other minority, the Sikhs, we know how the Congress miserably failed to protect innocent Sikh families after assassination of Smt Indira Gandhi. In this context, let me remind the author that even in 2019 many close relatives of Sikh families who were killed in anti-Sikh riots in 1984 have a strong feeling that justice has not been done to them. (d) Perhaps former Congress President Rahul Gandhi is aware of this injustice and that is why he had made in 2019 Lok Sabha election a promise that if Congress party is voted to power his government will give justice to families of victims of anti-Sikh riots. In this connection, let us also not forget an important fact: one of the many accused in 1984 anti-Sikh riots, an influential Congress politician and former MP has been sent to jail in the year, 2019, yes, almost 35 years after the anti-Sikh riots happened.
No you should be one on the list of being falsely arrested for a crime and then have no lawyer because they are in jail!

Activists who have the support of Congress have not done any thing favorable to Indian people. Their primary aim is to get foreign funds for pushing anti India agenda of anti-Hindu Christian missionaries . Now they have been caught by the government and must face the law. Few of these activists thought they are powerful enough to defame the CJI also after defaming the Indian government with the support of foreign media. After Sunanda murder case Shashi tharoor’s credential have gone down drastically and he has lost moral rights to preach others.
You have no clue about the truth. They have been framed with false evidence and sooner or later they will be proved innocent!
>and he has lost moral rights to preach others
you mean “and he has lost the moral right to preach to others”

‘Activists’ should be packed off to North Korea where they will be free to do what ever they want.
