"All is not well", says Hon’ble Supreme Court of India with reference to failure of Bihar administration to issue arrest warrant of Manju Verma, former minister of Nitish Cabinet. (TOI dated Nov. 01, 2018.).

For quite sometimes, it is seen that the Bihar police picketing along the major roads in Bihar have only two agenda at hand - one is to chase and catch the liquor to earn both quick bucks and also save their skin from administrative wrath and the other, to catch the two-wheeler rider for their missing helmets.

देश के वर्तमान परिपेक्ष में सबसे विश्वसनीय संस्था जो न्यायालय ही बच गयी है उसके एक अंग, एलाहाबाद उच्चतम न्यायालय के लखनौऊ खंडपीठ ने एक समादेश याचिका विचार के लिए स्वीकार कर ली है जिसमे आरोप लगाया गया है कि बहुजन समाज पार्टी के नेता के विरुद्ध भाजपा के एक नेता द्वारा कथित रूप से आपत्तिजनक भाषा के प्रयोग के विरुद्ध बहु. समा.पार्टी द्वारा संगठित विरोध प्रदर्शन में उनके समर्थकों नेअभद्र भाषा का प्रयोग किया जो कानून एवम संविधान के विरुध है.

Lalu and Owaisi are the one among many who have same language, same brand of venom, same quality of shamelessness and selfishness, same type of irresponsible attitude and above all same class of divisive politics - one takes the social castes system to ride and the other leans on religion to further his political ambition.

Emergency of 1975 in this country has many tell-tales. And they say that most authentic documentation of such saga is in the form of the report of Shah Commission. I haven’t read it and no opinion on it therefore. My truth is my own experience of 13 months of jail term in Muzaffarpur.
