It is sad that former Chief Justice of India, Ranjan Gogoi, who retired barely four months back from the Supreme Court, and was nominated to Rajya Sabha by President Ramnath Kovind, was jeered by opposition members as he took oath in the Upper House.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘janata curfew’ call has been well-received, although some concerns have been expressed as to whether it has raised a scare about possible shortage of essential goods, leading to price escalations.
