CONGRESS MUST NOT STALL PARLIAMENT

-

The Congress has stalled Parliament, alleging corruption in the Rafale deal. The party is demanding that the government must make the financial details public. Defence minister Nirmala Sitharaman has refused, saying that it is classified informatio­n. Details suggest that Dassault Aviation, the manufactur­er of Rafale, will be under obligation to transfer technology to India. On the other hand, there is a vast difference between the price that the Congress claims that we are paying, versus what we must pay.

RL Bansal, Kurukshetr­a atmosphere in the country, and spread poison. This divisive politics of hate must cease. I am just returning from my village Pili Mandori, where people from all communitie­s celebrated a religious function in the gaushala with love and harmony. The armed forces, one of the main pillars of the nation, are most secular. As officers, our religion is the religion of our men, and we have a ‘Saravdhara­m Sathal’ in each unit, encompassi­ng a temple, mosque, church etc. Let’s not create unnecessar­y rift.

Colonel RD Singh (retd), killing many young couples in the name of honour. The worthy judges said, “If people decide to marry, they are adults and you are nobody to interfere.” Khaps enjoy political patronage. Many politician­s too are against intercaste and inter-religion marriages. The apex court’s suggestion to neutralise the khaps before they do any further damage should be taken seriously.
