"The Supreme Court overruled the government's decision and quashed the mining leases. It happens in many cases that SC sets aside the decision of the state government, but this does not mean you can hang the chief minister holding him responsible for it," he said, while refusing to clarify if he had named Parrikar in the affidavit. … [Read more...] about Mining Scam: Congress to Seek CBI Probe into Late Manohar Parrikar’s Role as Goa Chief Minister

The only option it had was to target US assets nearby. This is sound military strategy,” Gen … [Read more...] about Qassim Suleimani killing to affect India: Army ex-chief

The Bill is unconstitutional, discriminatory, and against the unity and harmony of the country, apart from being against the secular principles of the JDU.
