MPs have demanded and got many privileges at airports. Public and private airlines have to entertain them and meet their demands. MPs forget they are representatives. They think they are rulers.

AAP is Animal Farm
Those who have read George Orwell’s Animal Farm will know what I mean by AAP is Animal Farm. In that novel beasts of England and Ireland are called to revolt against a man. Beasts of Manor Farm revolt and drive out the man and establish the rule of animals. They change the name of the…
Sexual discrimination
On 4/3/2104 in Sahara Refund case Supreme Court sent Subrata Roy and two male directors, Ravi Shanker Dubey and Ashok Roy Choudhary to judicial custody, but not Vandana Bhargava, a female director. That is sexual discrimination. It is against equal punishment or treatment for equal crime. Many women have escaped jail when justice demanded they…
Death penalty shall continue
On Saturday 7/3/2015 I sent a message to EWTN about an article about opposition to death penalty. It is wrong for Catholics to oppose death penalty and for bishops and publications to campaign against death penalty. Jesus Christ was in favour of death penalty. St. Peter sentenced Ananias and Sapphira to death. Every death penalty prevents…

AAP wins in Delhi
The best laid plans of men and mice go awry. In 2014 AAP plan to quit government and contest and get clear majority in Legislative Assembly went awry. Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung did not dissolve Delhi Legislative Assembly. Consequently there were no elections for Legislative Assembly along with Lok Sabha elections. In 2015 BJP plans…
Freedom of speech and tolerance
There are people who say freedom of speech and expression should be absolute. Freedom with restrictions is not freedom. Some talk of tolerance of differing opinions. Some talk of limits on freedom or self-censorship. Some claim to be liberals open to all ideas and tolerant of contrary views. Tolerance is an illusion. Tolerance is a…
