The reaction of the Supreme Court, rather of one Justice K.M. Joseph, that Right to Information Act cannot be held back because of Official Secrets Act, if it pertains to charges of "corruption and human rights", is a valid point and must be welcomed.

Indian Express has a massive interview of Union Minister Nitin Gadkari in its edition today (March 23, 2019). For those interested in going through the entire interview, one needs to log on to their website. Apparently, the one in print is an abridged version.
But I second-guessed it in time.

As Wing Commander Abhinandan rides an euphoria, let's ground the MiG-21s (Mikoyan-Gurevich) that nearly cost his life and our country a near war.
We are told that Indian Air Force (IAF) still has over 100 MiG and they all would be phased out by 2021-22. Frankly, we can't wait.

In the wake of Kairana elections, and a loss in Noorpur by a whisker, Home Minister Rajnath Singh made a statement that escaped the attention of most political observers: "One has to take two steps backwards for a giant leap," he said.

A section of Indian media is playing a divisive role that could only weaken the country and give rise to extremist--an extremely dangerous trend world over. All the citizens of the world have a duty to be alert to such propagandists and use social media to bring home the truth.

Why Muslims don't want to give up on the Ayodhya issue? Well, Hindu bodies also don't want to do so for obvious reasons but the fear of our large minority needs to be examined closely.

A Michelin-starred chef Atul Kochhar was sacked by his hotel employers in Dubai for his "anti-Islamic tweet" recently. JW Marriott sacked Kochhar on fear of hurting "local" sentiments-and their profits--in the Islamic state. Kochhar's tweet--admonishing actress Priyanka Chopra for ignoring Islamic excesses in India-was honey compared to Faye D' Souza's poison-dipped tweet.

Congress president Rahul Gandhi has promised a Minimum Guarantee Income (MIG) for "for every poor person" in the country and frankly he has bitten more than he or his party can chew without an upset stomach.

Over the last fortnight or so, Indian Express has almost daily pushed this "minority space" agenda on its edit pages. This stems from the fear of "Deep State" that, God forbids, if Muslims--and Dalits--were able to recognize that BJP and Modi are their best friends, the last plank of their survival would sink and take them down too in the vast ocean of human junk and wastefulness.

The present theme in our sick English mainstream media is that Kashmiri students en masse are leaving for home out of fear in the wake of the Pulwama attack.
It seems such a coordinated campaign in our newspapers and its effect-anger on Pulwama being replaced with guilt on Kashmiri students-is evident.

It's only for their own good that Indian National Congress stop shouting hollow the "corruption" charge against Narendra Modi and his ministers in the garb of Rafale. Such charges may get an echo from your very own drummer boys and girls in media but is self-defeating.

I am slightly amused when he sings paeans in praise of Jignesh Mewani; and definitely irked when he distorts history to run down Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) as he did in his edit-piece in the Hindu on Wednesday.

Coincidences do happen. Both Times of India and Hindustan Times took the editorial route to chide HD Kumaraswamy on Tuesday. Next day, an Indian Express edit scolded the Karnataka chief minister. All three hags from the Lutyens' Media were fuming. All three were lecturing HDK to understand the "reality" of coalition. To understand that as a senior party, Congress has a right to be a bull in the china shop. All coincidences.
