Today I heard your discussion in the Rajya Sabha on the Quota Bill. While you were speaking on the subject, you questioned the Women’s Reservation Bill and the Modi government’s intention and work done in India in the past four years.

मुख्य न्यायाधीश तरुण गोगोई की अध्यक्षता वाली तीन जजों की खंडपीठ ने राफेल मामले में अपने निर्णय में साफ़ साफ़ कहा कि न्यायालय के पास इस डील की प्रक्रिया पर संदेह करनेकी कोई वजह नहीं है और न्यायालय इस प्रक्रिया से संतुष्ट है. भाजपा सरकार ने बार बार राफेल डील की पारदर्शिता पर अपना पक्ष स्पष्ट किया है. सरकार ने हर बार यही कहा है छत्तीस राफेल लड़ाकू विमानों की फ्लाई वे स्थिति में खरीदने का फैसला भारतीय वायुसेना की ज़रूरतों को देखते हुए किया गया था.

But at a time like this when the secular fabric of a society remains threatened, it becomes important to go deeper to understand the sinister ploy of the Left government.
At the stroke of midnight on August 15 when the nation erupted in joy to celebrate its 71st Independence Day, the bleakness of the day didn’t escape me. I couldn’t help but reminiscence the historical wrongs that have been systematically erased from our country’s collective memory by a party that has ruled India for the longest time. The horrors of partition continue to haunt me, and I abhor the concerted efforts to present history through rose-tinted glasses.
Post Snowden’s revelations, it was evident that the US Government had informal arrangements with the information intermediaries such as social media firm to compromise their security infrastructure and not to implement strong security protocols to facilitate state surveillance. This revelations of widespread electronic spying by United States Intelligence agencies has prompted foreign states including India to turn to local data storage requirements and prevent data leaving their borders, allegedly into foreign hands. There has been growing consensus among governments that data localization and reliance on domestic infrastructure will safeguard privacy and security of citizens, especially against obtrusive foreign intelligence.
