1. Dirty Politics!
It's big news that China has quietly bowed down to the wishes of the majority in the UN Security
Council - after repeated blockages of the resolution - to brand Masood Azhar as an international
terrorist. While the entire world seems to agree that the Indians had achieved a diplomatic coup,
the entire opposition especially, the Congress, has said the following in connection with it:-
(a) It was the Congress that had initiated the process (That it didn't have a sense of urgency
and hence, no meaningful headway could be achieved and they turned out to be a failure.
(b) The Indian government couldn't take credit by itself because it was the Chinese government
that needed to felicitated!
(c) And what about getting Dawood Ibrahim and the likes?
What a sorry plight? Are these guys hostile to the Indian nation? Any country's foreign policy must
have the endorsement of the entire political spectrum because it's a continuation of the past - the posture, the initiatives and the consequent dealings with the foreign countries. But it was the same opposition that needed proof of the surgical strikes and the results of the Balakot strikes!
Have your personal differences with Modi but do not belittle his government's achievements! It's
like congratulating the IAF for the Balakot strikes though rightfully, it should have been for the
Prime Minister who'd taken the decision to go ahead. If it had failed, the very same opposition
would have dumped the entire responsibility on him, which should be, anyways! Double
standards!!
Real sad!
2. The Bogus Voting Saga.
The bogus voting has a large spread, going by the accusations and their counters. Of the three
major fronts, it's only the NDA that doesn't seem to have nothing against it! It would be
interesting to note the antidote prescribed by the Election Commission.
The doubt about how a political party, always, has the upper hand in certain constituencies now
takes a different dimension altogether!
3. A New Dimension.
Almost three decades after he migrated from Kashmir after being shot at and injured in his
wholesale provision store at Gada Kocha in downtown Srinagar, 74-year-old Kashmiri Pandit,
Roshan Lal Mawa, restarted his business amid a tumultous welcome from Muslim traders.
Will we see the return of the Pandits?
Tailpiece.
We'd got up at 4, gone through the chores and were ready to hit the road by 6 but before setting off, we had celebrated Mini's birthday. The cake was cut and the merry making was initiated. We'd set off soon after. The journey was fine and we'd our first breather for breakfast, 8 km short of the town of Alappuzha.
Heard on the FM about the mammoth roadblock at the Palarivattom flyover and hence, took a detour via Edakochi, which was a disaster because the already narrow road was dug up for laying the underground cable and reduced to a miserable stretch of ups and downs!
Short of the Paliyekkara toll plaza, we'd stopped for lunch at the Saravana Bhavan which was good. Immediately after reaching the town of Thrissur, we'd dropped Rema at the Road Transport Corporation bus stand. She was able to board a Coimbatore-bound super fast bus for her onward travel to Palakkad.
We'd continued with our journey, picked up grocery, vegetables and fruits from the National Supermarket and were at 'The Quarterdeck' by about a half past 3. The opening of the house followed by the unpacking took its time. Meanwhile, Rema had called up to say that she had reached her house by teatime.
The boy from the Medicare had dropped a few medicines and the evening was comparatively free. We saw our usual programmes on the television and hit the sack at our usual time of 2300 hrs! It was only while lying down on the bed that one realised as to how tired one was over the course of the day!!
PS.
It's a step in the right direction that the Muslim Education Society has issued regarding the ban of 'burqas'. It's not right to impose a dress code, in fact, the people must have the right to chose their clothes!
