तीन पूर्व मुख्यमंत्रियों व नेशनल कॉन्फ्रेंस तथा पीडीपी के प्रमुख नेताओं द्वारा बार बार दिए जा रहे भारत विरोधी बयानों व धमकियों के साथ कश्मीर घाटी के बहुसंख्यक मुस्लिम समाज तथा अल्पसंख्यक गैर मुस्लिमों के बीच वैमनष्य पैदा करने के विरुद्ध शिकायत करने विश्व हिन्दू परिषद (विहिप) का एक उच्च स्तरीय प्रतिनिधि मंडल आज चुनाव आयोग से मिला. विहिप के अंतर्राष्ट्रीय कार्याध्यक्ष एडवोकेट आलोक कुमार के नेतृत्व में गए प्रतिनिधि मण्डल ने चुनाव आयोग से कहा है कि जम्मू कश्मीर के पूर्व मुख्यमंत्री फारूक अब्दुल्ला, उमर अब्दुल्ला तथा महबूबा मुफ़्ती ने पाकिस्तान की कठपुतली बन धारा 370 व 35A का विरोध कर लगातार कश्मीर की बहु संख्यक मुस्लिम आबादी का हबाला देते हुए वहां के माहौल को जानबूझकर योजना पूर्वक साम्प्रदायिक बनाने की कुचेष्टा की है. अतः इन नेताओं द्वारा आदर्श चुनाव आचार संहिता के उल्लंघन करने के कारण इनके विर...

जब पुलवामा में हमारे 40 जवान शहीद हुए थे और उसके बाद जब वायुसेना द्वारा एयरस्ट्राइक किया गया तो पूरे देश में उत्साह का माहौल था. लेकिन तब 2 जगह मातम भी मनाया जा रहा था. एक तो पाकिस्तान में और दूसरा सपा-बसपा और कांग्रेस पार्टी के खेमे में. चुनाव आया है तो बहन मायावती कहती हैं कि हम गरीबों के लिए काम करेंगे, लेकिन मैं पूछना चाहता हूँ कि बड़े-बड़े धनपतियों को जो आपने टिकट दिया है वो गरीबों के भले के लिए दिया है क्या? यूपी में सपा-बसपा का गुंडाराज चलता था. पश्चिमी यूपी से लोग पलायन करते थे. आज पलायन कराने वाले पलायन कर गए हैं. एक जमाना था गुंडों से पुलिस डरती थी, आज गुंडे गले में बोर्ड लटकाकर घुमते हैं, ये काम भारतीय जनता पार्टी ने किया है. राहुल बाबा, मायावती जी और अखिलेश जी को जितना रोना है वो रोते रहें, फिर से एक बार मोदी सरकार बनते ही देश भर में से घुसपैठियों को चुन-चुनकर निकालन...

Historical Chandni Chowk in Old Delhi has a street named as Khazanch-Gali having ruins of a grand building of ancient era which was residential palace of treasurer of Mughal Emperor Shahajahan. Even the street is named after Khazanchi which in English means treasurer. Ruins of the grand heritage-building now just having some marble pillars and a pond which earlier used to have fountains speak of the finest architecture of that era, is fast losing its grandness day by day because present owners are not taking care of the building which is now having too many small rented portions. Central or Delhi government should in larger national interest for upkeeping rich heritage and for tourist attraction acquire the building by compensating the owners, and restore glory of the building to make i...

Mega-star Amitabh Bachchan once disclosed at Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Ahmadabad about his not advertising for cola-drinks after a school-student at Jaipur drew his attention about harmful ingredients in cola-drinks. It is significant that cola-companies voluntarily stopped selling cola-drinks in schools worldwide in view of increasing obesity in school-going children. Indian government should also not only ban advertisements but even sale of cola drinks in the country. Earlier also, soft-drink manufacturers were asked to remove an oil from their products which was found to be harmful for health. It is time that Union government, Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI) and soft-drink manufacturers should revive drinks like old and famous rose-flavoured ones, which can n...

Union Ministry of Home Affairs MHA should be complimented to take immediate action against Bangladeshi artist Firdous by instant cancellation of his VISA directing him to immediately return to his country Bangladesh for his canvassing for TMC in West Bengal. If it would have been allowed without action, some separatist or fundamentalist politician would have liberty to invite even some Pakistani personality for canvassing for polls in Kashmir. It is also time that MHA also takes cognizance of hate-speeches parallelly with Election Commission of India ECI under various existing criminal laws. Since such hate-speeches are also there when there are no polls, it otherwise also becomes duty of MHA to curb such tactics in case some state-government fails in its duty to prevent such hate-speec...

World Health Organization WHO has also established that even essential drugs in India with lowest printed Maximum-Retail-Price MRP are exorbitantly priced over manufacturing-cost followed by abnormally high trade-margin between ex-factory price and MRP. National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority NPPA is considering capping of profit-margins of 73 more drugs but leaving out many more again. It is beyond understanding why and how NPPA does not have a profit-formula uniformly for all drugs at a time when even generic medicines considered to be a cheaper version of respective branded medicines have exorbitant trade-margins of several hundred percent. Competition Commission of India CCI and Central Information Commission CIC have taken cognizance of serious issue. There are many medicines whe...

It is observed that many TV serials continue for years after years with even change in generations of the characters shown in such TV serials. It makes viewers TV-addicted with unimaginable number of total man-hours viewing TV-serials only adversely affecting studies of students and proper attention to children by mothers who are victims of such addiction. Already social media has ruined life-style and working-efficiency of all including office-goers. Union Ministry of Information and Broadcasting should regulate maximum number of episodes in a normal TV serial to say 52 (one year). However such a restriction may not be there on epic-serials. Even TV serials with single story in each episode can also be exempted.   MADHU AGRAWAL

It was only after Supreme Court intervened that Election Commission ECI took action, though very mild, against two top politicians of UP banning them to campaign for 48 and 72 hours respectively for alleged hate-speeches. But there is still no news of ECI taking cognizance of sting of about 20 present and former Parliamentarians coming from different political parties as telecast by a newly launched Hindi news-channel on 03.04.2019 despite official complaint made through e-mail to ECI. ECI should have reacted instantly just after first time news broke about an ugly anti-woman comment by another politician Azam Khan of UP. ECI has not even taken instant action against TMC Chief Mamta Banerjee for inducing a Bangladeshi artist in election-campaign. If ECI starts reacting instantly a...
