However NCP too has the same card + the ever shrewd Sharad Pawar, he'll make sure Shiv Sena is wiped out in much of Maharashtra. In a way Sena is going back to its roots - it was Mumbai's local goons union which rode on Atal Bihari Vajpayee & LK Advani's popularity to gain seats across Maharashtra, now it recoiling back into a Mumbai local party that cannot think beyond the next BMC corporation elections.

Every once in a while in this thread people get confused between "Marathis" and "Marathas" and have to be educated. Marathis means all native Marathi-speaking people. Marathas are a caste - like Yadavs in UP. NCP and Cong in MH have a huge Maratha caste votebank, with Sharad Pawar being their tallest leader. Thackerays are not Marathas. Shiv Sena does not have a "Maratha card". They never did. Their "Marathi manus vs. North Indian/South Indian" shtick does not work outside of Mumbai where there are no North and South Indians to contend with.

Doctor In Tamil Nadu Asks Critically Ill Patient To Read Bible Saying 'Only Christ Has Key To Heaven'; Authorities Yet To Take Action Despite Complaint
https://swarajyamag.com/news-brief/doct ... -complaint
A doctor at a private hospital, about 30 km from Chennai in Tamil Nadu asked a critically patient and her son to read the Bible as, according to him, everyone will die one day and “only Jesus Christ has the key to heaven”.

The incident took place early this month when K Ganesh of Pappanchatram in Tamil Nadu's Kanchipuram district took his mother, K Geetha, affected with breast cancer, for a routine check-up at the private hospital in Thandalam.

“We should have gone for the check-up in April. But we didn’t go in view of coronavirus being prevalent everywhere. Also, my mother has high blood pressure and sugar problem. Therefore, we decided to go early this month when the lockdown was relaxed,” Ganesh told Swarajya.

Since they wanted to avail of the benefits under the State Health Insurance Scheme, they were referred to doctor Robert Louis. “We went there with a scan that had already been taken but he did not accept it,” Ganesh said.

Then, the doctor wondered why Geetha was scared of her health condition. “He then said everyone, including him, will die one day. You have to be afraid only to know whether you will go to heaven or hell. I know where I am going because God (Jesus Christ) knows me,” said Ganesh, adding that the doctor made this statement even as he took out two copies of the Bible.

The doctor then went on to ask if Geetha knew Jesus Christ and added “if you need to go to Heaven you need to know Him. Jesus Christ is in heaven and you need to know him to go there. This is like having to know someone in Bangalore if you need to go there”.

The doctor then asked Ganesh to read two verses from the Bible but he said he didn’t want to read them. He asked the latter to read the verses for his mother’s sake so that her fear might be warded off.

Since Ganesh was reluctant, Louis himself began reading the verses before referring him to a surgeon. “We didn’t go to the surgeon because he will not see us without the doctor’s note,” Ganesh said.

Soon after, Ganesh went to the Resident Medical Officer’s office and lodged a complaint on the doctor’s behaviour. Since the hospital authorities did not respond to his complaint, he approached the Thandalam police station and filed a complaint.

(Swarajya has a copy of the doctor's video and the complaint lodged by Ganesh.)

"The next day after I filed the complaint, the hospital authorities called me to come there saying they have finished their enquiry on my complaint and they would want to share the details.

“The Thandalam police told us that the hospital would dismiss the doctor from service but the hospital authorities told me that they had shifted him from the outpatient department,” Ganesh said.

Following this, a higher police official called Ganesh and asked him to delete his posting of the incident on Facebook as the hospital had taken action against the doctor.

However, neither Ganesh nor others, including the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), who took up his case have seen any concrete action against the doctor.

“Police say they have finished enquiring the doctor. There is no concrete evidence of action being taken against him nor any proof that such incidents will not recur at the hospital,” a VHP leader said.

When contacted by Swarajya, Thandalam police said they had not taken any action since the hospital authorities and Ganesh said they were sorting out the issue.

With the lease ending last year, descendants of the Jat King have demanded that the University’s school in Agra be renamed after him and the rest of the land that Singh had given to the AMU be returned to them.

So, a Hindu family living somewhere in the west bring home a puppy, a cute little golden retriever. Like all Hindus everywhere they welcomes the new member of their family with a vermillion tilak and aarti. Most of us with a soul would find the video adorable and be happy that the pet has found a loving, caring family who will treat it right for the rest of its life. However there are some miserable, angry, hinduphobic folks in this world who somehow managed to find offense in such a heartwarming video as well !

Here's tweet no.1 by a 'The Wire' journalist who had to really dig deep into her dark soul to attach "brahminism" and "caste" to the puppy, and if she could identify its gender she would have attached "patriarchy" as well !

OT Alert [On]:- Admins please excuse.

2020 has been a real good year for us. If we dismiss the superficial bad news. The real question everytime you see a negative article is to ask, ' How is this affecting us 5 years in the future? ' The answer in most cases is it is strengthening Dharmic resolve. Here's why I feel grateful:

Anti CAA and S*bagh protests exposed BIF agenda more clearly for rest of the country. Debate has opened up. Slowly I see more and more people questioning the standard answers.
RJB is reigniting Hindu self belief. Laugh as you mady but the recent video of welcoming a puppy is significant.
SSRs death unfortunate as it maybe gives a way into applying danda to Bollywood. Cleaning up the mess there. Keep them off balance. And for the silent to emerge. Fact is we need more people like Milind Soman to confer it if the closet.
The continuous stories of love- jee*@d are making more people aware.
Chinese virus has not affected India badly yet. Be realistic it could have been a disaster. Hard numbers show it isn't. In fact it's also strengthens the argument if rolling out NPR and universal identification toolkits.
Pakistan fumbling with the map is good.
And Uncle 11 Gin Peg has been our Santa Claus. He is reuniting India, forcing the country to take meaningful economic policy decisions, giving Western investment good reason to invest in India and accelerating investment in indigenous MIC. I wish I could buy him a Cadbury Five Starr. He's such a good and obedient boy.

All in all, once we look deeper, 2020 is turning it to be a good year.

Internet is public too.

we should bring facebook, twitter and whatsapp and whatever else apps in social media under the very same regulations.

lets see who is willing to fight the BIF, FFNGOs and the very hand that ensures a cushy post retirement sinecure for all these great anti media warriors, many of whom are reluctant to disclose their assets publicly which is now compulsory under the current regulations.

parliament has the overriding power, not the SC or any other unelected body of opiniated persons who are not democractically representative either in origin or in function. Far too much power has been self appropriated and concenterated over the years in such institutions because the Indian parliament never did stand up to assert its own overarching supremacy as is the case in any other democracy which rightfully has oversight over the judicial appoints after doing its own due dilligiance and such oversight should take primacy over any objections of the judiciary.

remember, even nixon was brought down by the efforts of a very vigilant media which was free to investigate what ever it wanted and that is as it should be.

one wonders what a so called "body of five eminent personages" would have done when confronting a vindictive and vengeful president like tricky dick.

very possibly, all of them would have immediately purchased used cars from him and driven away as fast as they could.

The Centre had on Monday introduced in Parliament the Farmers' Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Bill, 2020, the Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Bill, 2020 and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Bill, 2020 to replace the ordinances promulgated earlier.

Two of the three bills, meant to deregulate the sale of farm produce, were passed in the Lok Sabha on Thursday amid opposition by several farmer organisations, fearing they will lead to the dismantling of the minimum support price (MSP) regime.

In her four-page resignation letter to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Kaur said despite her persistent pleas and repeated efforts from her party, the Central government has not taken farmers on board regarding these bills.

Asserting that every member of her party is a farmer, she said the SAD is merely continuing its age old tradition of being a champion of farmers' interests.

It could not be immediately ascertained if the Prime Minister has accepted her resignation.

the akalis are trying to mobilize a votebank by such spurious means. and "essential commodities" specifies strict stocking limits by wholesalers, rice mill owners and such like black marketeers, hence much money can be made by those willing to look the other way

come the next elections, the akalis will be back with the BJP for sure and will try once again to bull doze them into being the junior partners.

Hope that these akali guys have not played the balasaheb thackeray card once too often. They are an extremely opportunistic lot with their grasping fingers in multitudes of cookie jars

to survive, the akalis need the BJP at the center and in their corner to stave off a whole host of corruption charges that they would otherwise face if they try to leave the cover of the BJP umbrella.

the controls over the coop banks and the APMC racket was actually timed and aimed at guys in MAH and when the "maha" vikas aghadi scuttled all the APMC and coop bank sector changes that were brought about by the fadnavis govt and subsequently started their pogrom of loot and patronage once again. The SS was also somewhat complicit in these matters for long and they could not stomach fadnavis the brahmin, depriving them of their "rightful" share.

this so called "maha" vikas aghadi plan was secretly hatched well before the elections with the major conspirators being SS and the NCP and the pappus pitched in much later to recoup their much depleted war chest.

the mafia led by congis and the powerful peoples are the most affected by this bill. they have all been torn away from the mai-baap infrastructures that they had built and used to control and terrorize much of the rural agricultural votebanks.

effectively, with the RBI taking control of the coop banks and now this bill, these two parties majorly have had the political wind taken out of their sails and their hitherto ready access to black generated cash money very much reduced

no wonder pappu is celebrating Modi's birthday as "unemployment day". He is actually talking about himself being rendered unemployed by the wide spread impact of just these two measures taken by Modi who is taking down the congi edifice as well as the corrupt edifice many opposition parties, slowly and surely, brick by relentless brick. It is a revolt against the rotting edifice that corrupt men from the congis and other parties have built and milked dry over the decades.

A fact-finding committee formed by several Bengaluru based civil society organisation (CSOs) appealed to the Bengaluru City Police to widen the scope of investigation against the alleged Facebook post believed to have led to the same. The committee also alleged inaction by Facebook and the City Police.

"This report brings out several truths. This report is not the end, on its authority, we must inquire into the truth and find out who is behind the violence, and who all failed to act. There are people who profit from the riot as well. We must find out those who are responsible. We must further tolerance," said (Retd.) Justice H.N. Nagmohan Das.

Denying allegations that the mob was communal or political in nature, the team comprising CSOs claimed that lack of substantial evidence to suggest that the mob violence was communal in nature, in that it specifically targeted the Hindu community or that it was premeditated and pre-planned.

"This is a local and spontaneous incident that has been taken advantage of by different political parties for immediate political gains which included the upcoming corporator elections in the state," the committee observed.

Besides this, the report also came down heavily on the several sections of media which have misportrayed the incident in a communal light by spinning conspiracy theories and targeting the Muslim community.

The bigger issue is that impeachment is the ONLY action that you can take on a sitting judge. So either you do nothing or you impeach. There is no other option. Even the law itself has graded form of punishment, starting with fines (smaller and then becoming bigger), then imprisonment (short to long duration) and finally death penalty. Same goes for legislature (chair of the house can suspend for short or long duration or member can then be disqualified, again in graded manner) and government (court can pass strictures against govt employees in a graded manner depending on level of offense).

Even in the executive in the form of bureaucracy is subjected to a graded level of discipline starting from notation in ACR, suspension and going up to dismissal.

So other than judiciary, all other wings of the state have CODIFIED and GRADED level of disciplinary actions to be taken. But the judiciary does not have this. So what does this mean? - Most transgressions by judges do not warrant impeachment. But it does warrant some other stricture (say demotion to a lower court or additional workload or some such punishment). But since the only option available is impeachment and the transgression is not big enough to warrant this, it means the judge goes completely scot free. This needs to be addressed.

. Asserting that every member of her party is a farmer, she said the SAD is merely continuing its age old tradition of being a champion of farmers' interests.

These farmers have bus companies, investments in 7 star resorts, bread companies, electrical goods companies & what not. After squeezing manufacturers out of Punjab they've APMCs as their cash cow. All these so called Akali farmers are local APMC committee members/chairperson etc. I can't think of a single Punjab MLA who does not have a stake in their local mandis. If this bill does what it intends to do, then it is safe to assume that half of Akali Dal will vanish in the next 5 years as good infra will make Punjab most lucrative purchasing place for the private buyers. Opportunity for BJP to gain ground.
