-
Haryana BJP president Subhash Barala and BJP MLA Premlata Singh on the Jat agitation for reservations.
He called them “touts that suck the blood of the poor people”. But even Gandhi had not anticipated Patiala House breed of lawyers.
People see harsh laws being invoked against those who dissent but the ordinary law of the land is either not enforced or done in a way that appears an eye-wash.
The Zee News editor and anchor behind the dodgy footage from JNU that helped incriminate the group of students charged with sedition on how he views news.
Broadcast media’s excessive righteousness in the JNU affair skewed events on the ground
The top BJP leadership has acted so stupidly in the JNU affair that it has allowed the Congress to be seen as champions of the dignity of Afzal Guru and Kashmir
The BJP ought to be pinned down to the ground. Yet the Opposition watches, and waits.
