Nothing can justify the injustice done to the family of the Hathras case by the police of Uttar Pradesh who denied them to see for the last time the dead body of their own family member. UP police even hurriedly cremated the dead body of the Dalit girl at the midnight. This was the second injustice done to the 19 year old girl.

During a Sep. 23 news conference, when asked about the election outcome, Trump said, “We’re going to have to see what happens,” in response to a question about committing to the results. “You know that I’ve been complaining very strongly about the ballots, and the ballots are a disaster.”

That trade unions saw red when the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha passed by voice vote the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020, and the Code on Social Security, 2020 is understandable. The passage of these crucial bills, welcomed by corporate India, but severely impacting workers, was preceded by only three hours of discussion.
