1. Yet Again.
China has yet again blocked India, the US and other nations' bid to list Pakistan-based JeM
chief, Masood Azhar as a global terrorist by the UN. This is for the fourth time that it's doing
so, citing "there's no consensus" within the members of the sanctions committee. The comment
comes as its three-month-old technical hold on a proposal by the US, France and Britain to
list Azhar as a global terrorist, was set to lapse today.
When will it stop blunting India's efforts against terrorism?
2. Kamalahaasan's Utterances.
I admire Kamalahaasan for the powerhouse of an actor that he is. I've also admired him for the
principled stands that he's taken on various social causes over a period of time. But he seems to
have struck a discordant note in his eagerness to join a political outfit. By voicing another's idea,
he seems to have surrendered his originality.
3. Udhav Thackeray's Shenanigans.
Probably, stung by the fact that Modi and the BJP have not placed him on the same pedestal of
importance that his dad had enjoyed, Udhav and the Shiv Sena have been going around saying
negative things about the PM. The latest is his meeting with Mamata Banerjee, voicing
disapproval of demonetisation and GST.
There's nothing wrong in criticising the decisions and being a strong(?) votary against it, but then
have the decency to get off from the coalition and stop masquerading as a partner of the NDA. I'm
sure your own vote bank must be totally bewildered by your opportunism.
4. Against the Mobile-Aadhaar Linking.
Why has there been a defiance among a section of the society against the mobile phone's
link up with Aadhaar? Is it because of a genuine fear that one's personal information will get
compromised or is it the known Indian trait of hiding information to circumvent the law - like
having excess land holdings, more than one gas connection etc...the list is exhaustive? While
the apprehension of a compromise and consequent frauds must be put to rest by the government,
the linking will bring about an overall honesty in the way we do things, I'm sure.
Tailpiece.
I've come across a father - he has two sons - who hates his wife's affection towards their elder son. In fact, he has gone a step ahead by accusing incest between the two. A case of mental illness, I'm sure because how can one nurture hatred towards one's own flesh and blood?
