The election rhetoric.

1. The New Claims.

    After refusing to accept the surgical strikes carried out by the Army and then, the Air Force,
    the Congress had announced that it had carried out three during its tenure in the government.
    Today, it has raised those incursions to six without any crying need to do so and therefore,
    making it yet another claim that cannot be believed. The party had asked for proof while the
    Modi government and the armed forces had informed about the events to the country.

    On that line, will it be giving the proof of its surgical strikes too?

2. Penalty for Bogus Voting.

    The Election Commission has recommended legal action against three Indian Union Muslim
    League workers for alleged bogus voting at two vulnerable booths in Madayi, Kasaragod.
    Mohammed Fias, Abdul Samad and KM Mohammed are the ones who'd entered the booths more
    than once. The complaint against Hashique, the fourth, is yet to be proved.

    Just like the LDF, the UDF seems to have skeletons in their cupboard too! I'm eagerly waiting to
    see as to how the EC tackles this issue comprehensively.


3. CPM Trains Guns on Jamaat-e-Islami.

    Irked by the unconditional support extended by the Jamaat-e-Islami to the UDF, in the just
    concluded Lok Sabha elections, the CPM has heightened the its attack on the organisation,
    describing it as the 'fountainhead of religious extremism' in the country.

    The ease with which the perceptions have been changed, for not batting along is interesting!


Tailpiece.

Got up with the alarm, went through the chores and were ready well in time. Annie fetched up finally - phew! - and the house was back to its gleaming self after she'd finished her work by late evening. By evening, Lekha had developed a swelling on her left leg that reminded me of a similar occurrence, in Sep '10, when Dr. Ramachandran had diagnosed it as the perking up of the dormant SLE. She had to be put on additional medicines for bringing it under control.

Hopefully, the tests of tomorrow would give us the answers and thankfully, we are meeting up with her doctor on the 7th.
