Poet Kumar Vishwas and politician Alka Lamba should have kept to themselves and not attempted to correct their former comrade in arms and Aam Aadmi Party convener, Arvind Kejriwal, who is no longer just the Chief Minister of Delhi but also inspiration for Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. Besides, Vishwas and Lamba also didn’t get it that AAP now commands a police force, which it didn’t when it conquered Delhi twice in a row.

Noida: Manu Gandas and Amardeep Malik were tied for the third round lead at 15-under 201 at the end of the third and penultimate round of the Delhi-NCR Open at the Noida Golf Course on Thursday.

The month of April has seen a sharp escalation in the attacks on Muslims by the Hindutva forces. Using the nine-day Navaratri festival beginning on April 2 and culminating on Ram Navami day on April 10, the RSS outfits like the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and the Bajrang Dal have in a planned and organised manner utilised the Hindu new year day on April 2 and the Ram Navami processions on April 10 to target the Muslim community.

Nearly two months in, there’s little doubt Russian president Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine has been a colossal strategic blunder.

Two days ago Russian President, Vladimir Putin, had warned the west of “unpredictable consequences” in case of continuing weapons supplies to Ukraine. What appears to be more and more unpredictable is the course of the war and its consequences. Russians are perhaps becoming impatient with Putin’s Ukraine war and voices are speaking out. Putin’s Ukraine war is completing 60 days on April 22, Lenin’s birthday.

The case of the Jahangirpuri demolition drive can be rightly termed a curious case, if only because one of the petitioners, Ganesh Kumar Gupta, whose juice shop was demolished by the North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC), is the best friend of the BJP government at the Centre. Gupta is proof that the Modi Government was being unjustly blamed for targeting only one religious community.

May Day is here again. The central figure of the day, that is proletariat, is engaged in production and also in keeping alive the basic moving force of class divided society, which is its struggle against the capital. In the continuing thread of evolution going through phases which is called by Prof Maurice Dobb as the ‘crucial watershed between the old mode of production and the new’, the Day has its own significance. Among the twists and turns of the historical process of class struggle, the Day with its international significance, stands high replete with the memories of sacrifices and invincibility with which the working class has kept moving ahead.
