AAP Ke News #E504

  1. The man has not been yet formally given a ticket by the BJP.

  2. If this is a contest between India and China, this is not a win for New Delhi.

  3. 7 checkpoints, one after the other, in 10 km distance between the Imphal Valley and the hills. Manned by Manipur Police, army, Assam Rifles, ITBP, BSF and CRPF. Final one by local Kuki community. Such is the state of Manipur after Modi's "timely intervention".

  4. Wasn't Manipur CM interviewed by many newspapers a day back to say that there was peace in the state? And of course, Modi's weird claim to an Assamese newspaper a week or so back. This is the reality. Two dead and firing has gone on for 48 hours, as per some media reports.

  5. Vishwaguru stuff.

  6. No ToI, no. They are questioning what Modi has done to Indian democracy. That's a totally different thing from what your headline says.

  7. Meanwhile, ITBP sends a report to the Modi govt that there are 19 places on the LAC that could witness transgression by the Chinese army once snow starts melting during summer. This contradicts the basis of Modi's request to Beijing, as published in Newsweek.

  8. The story says that this division is needed because of the poor internal security situation in Rajouri-Poonch, where reserves have been deployed after a RR force was moved out in 2020. In any case, it is by "save and raise", a model that impinges on army's overall effectiveness.

  9. Great headline (and an even better interview).

  10. The big question is why did the Modi government facilitate the recruitment and employment of these workers to Israel at this time? Was it not aware of the precarious security situation in that country? The lives of Indians can't be that cheap to be risked like this.

  11. उत्तर प्रदेश के जिन युवाओं को 15 अप्रैल को इसराइल की फ्लाइट थी, उनको शनिवार को व्हाट्सऐप के ज़रिए संदेश मिला: 'विदेश मंत्रालय के निर्देशानुसार इसराइल की किसी भी तरह की यात्रा पर फ़िलहाल रोक लगा दी गई है. आप लोग अगली जानकारी मिलने तक का इंतज़ार करें.'

  12. In EIU's Assessing the Best Places to Do Business Report, India is 51st out of 82 countries.

  13. Modi’s ardent supporters identify with Israelis, but #Israel thinks of #Indians only as cheap construction labour, fit to replace the #Palestinians whose work permits have been withdrawn.

  14. Two Kuki village volunteers killed in Manipur.
    Violence again escalated, with heavy cross-firing reported for over two days at the tri-junction of Imphal East, Kangpokpi, and Ukhrul districts.

  15. Why did the ECI not formally respond to Prasar Bharati and only "informally" convey it to Prasar Bharati? Is this how constitutional bodies are meant to function?

  16. Bad economic news always has ready excuse in the headline that promptly absolves the Modi government.

  17. This is pretty interesting.

  18. The state police, acting under the ECI, is saying that the tableau got an FIR "using the religious occasion to serve political interests." And what does Mr Modi do almost everyday that doesn't qualify under this charge, dear ECI?

  19. Will this happen in holy places of other religion too? But even before that, we can now safely bid goodbye to the whole idea of policing and uniform. Ridiculous, preposterous, unprofessional and unconstitutional.

  20. The idea seems to be to deter independent folks from asking tough questions about EVM and VVPAT, particularly wrt the process followed by the ECI.

  21. Food inflation is at 8.52% in March.

  22. Manipur: Fresh violence erupts in Thoubal district, one injured.
    Modi: timely intervention of the Centre and efforts of the state government have led to a “marked improvement in the situation in the state”.
