LOCKDOWNS IN 2020 COULD NOT CONTAIN CRIMES IN INDIA

THERE WAS AN ALARMING RISE IN NUMBER OF NEW CRIMINALS
Dr. Gyan Pathak - 2021-12-14 09:46
Lockdowns and containment measures imposed in 2020 to contain COVID-19 had greatly impacted all sectors of the country except crime which registered and increase. Crime like theft accounted for 76.6 percent of all offences against property, perhaps driven by a pressing need to fill the empty stomachs which the government could not do despite all assurances. Involvement of first timer offender youths is alarmingly high, and also disobedience against authority.

PARLIAMENT’S WINTER SESSION IS HAVING THE SAME FATE AS LAST TWO YEARS

DISCUSSION AND DEBATE ARE THE DRIVING FORCE OF A VIBRANT DEMOCRACY
Kalyani Shankar - 2021-12-14 09:36
Former President Pranab Mukherjee, as leader of the House, vexed with the unruly behaviour of the Opposition (then it was BJP), observed that only three 'Ds'– Discussion, Debate and Dissent – have a place in Parliament and not the 'fourth 'D' -Disruptions. Unfortunately, both the houses today are only indulging in the "disruptions. As it is, the Covid had curtailed the sessions last and this year, and these disruptions have further impacted Parliament's functioning.

POOR CAN HOPE FOR A PIECE OF BREAD, AND THE RICH CRORES

FUNCTIONING OF MODI GOVERNMENT BENEFITS ONLY CORPORATES
Dr. Gyan Pathak - 2021-12-13 11:11
The two pieces of news – first, Modi government made provisions for merely five kilogram cereals for 800 million individuals per month who were not able to even get food on their own during the pandemic, and second, they written off over 2.03 lakh crore rupees of loans during the same fiscal ending March 2021 to business and industries including the wilful defaulter corporate – make us think that poor can hope only some pieces of bread, and the loans worth crores of rupees taken by handful of corporate could be written off under Modi Raj.

RAHUL GANDHI’S POSITIONING AS HINDU AS AGAINST HINDUTVA HAS BEEN TIMED

UNDER PRESSURE TO SHOW RESULTS, CONGRESS LEADER IS NOW IN FULL ACTION
Sushil Kutty - 2021-12-13 09:52
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is not afraid—the ‘Hindu’ in him has taken over, and he is not scared of ‘Hindutva’. Gandhi travelled to Jaipur to clarify this division. Some would call it a “division of Hindu votes”, but Rahul Gandhi was on a larger point—the Gandhi scion isn’t happy that the “back-stabbers” have been in power for eight years and counting. He wants the “Hindu” to return to power though it is the Hindutvadis who hanker for “satta, power.”

INDIA NEEDS STRONG MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURING BASE

FEW COUNTRIES, BARRING RUSSIA, ARE KEEN TO HELP
Nantoo Banerjee - 2021-12-13 09:49
Russia’s continuing support to help India build modern military ware, from guns to fighter jets, missiles and submarines, despite its growing critical defence supplies and technology tie-ups with China, is a clear example of the fact that the Indo-Russian relationship is unshakable by changing global power fulcrum. Trust is the key to the Indo-Russian defence and economic relationships. And, that played a key role in Russia’s fresh commitment to a 10-year military-technical cooperation pact that would see, among others, the manufacturing of AK-203 Kalashnikov rifles in India.
