The UP govt had suspended two teachers and a case was registered against Hindi journalist Pawan Jaiswal and the representative of Hinauta village for allegedly maligning the image of the state.
Former Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah and the supporter sought to play it down with the latter describing the former as a father figure and saying he slapped him out of affection.
The last time this matter flared up was when Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, in a very similar directive in April, called for the relocation of stray dogs in the capital.
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?
Bizarrely, the pot-bellied policeman stands idly beside the BJP bitch and allows her to thrash the poor man. Clearly, he knows better than to take up cudgels against a ruling party apparatchik.
If the man did use derogatory language, then he deserves what he got. But if the man did not use bad language, then no matter whatever his mistakes were, he does not deserve this and the lady should be punished.
“If the man did use derogatory language, then he deserves what he got..”
Well, interesting that even educated people like you would want to take the law into their own hands. No wonder there has been a complete breakdown of law and order in the country, indeed worsening under the BJP. An allegation that someone has committed a crime or an offence does not necessarily mean that said event has occurred. And to move from allegations to immediate sentencing is something that strikes at the very roots of democracy.
During the Emergency that PM Indira Gandhi declared and ruled under from 1975 to 1977, precisely the same things happened. People disappeared, were tortured, sterilised against their consent or were locked up without recourse to due judicial processes. And there was one law for the powerful apparatchiks of the Congress and the another for the common man. And you see exactly that happening today under the Modi regime.
But what was interesting then was the attitude of the middle-classes. Indeed, the vast majority of the middle-classes like the autocratic methods of Sanjay Gandhi and his mother. “Democracy is too costly and cumbesrome for India. We need a benevloent dictator” was the phrase often heard in middle-class drawing rooms. And both then, as now, the “Encounter culture” prevailed in the police and laws only applied to the poor. And then as now, the middle-classes supported violence heaped upon the poor. Such as your support of the physical abuse of this hapless man.
Although you add the usual caveat and disclaimer that had the man been innocent, the lady should be punished, let me ask you a question Mr Gopal: Should the lady also get summarily beaten by a slipper or should due process be applied in her case?
Sadly, India’s descent into fascism is aided and abetted by educated people like you Mr Gopal. And one hopes that you don’t get hoisted by your own petard someday.
Chappal khaunga par vote Modi ko doonga. The Phogat sisters are true Ambassadors of BJP.

Welcome to Modistan.

Mr Gopal: You pontificate:
