Parliament is a forum for discussion and debate with dignity and decorum. There is no room for disruption. When any House of Parliament has to be adjourned due to disruption it is a disgrace.

Tyranny of judges
26 June 2015 is a black day in the history of USA and the world. USA’s Supreme Court by 5-4 majority judgment destroyed democracy and upheld same sex marriages. In California people in a referendum had voted to define marriage as union of one man and one woman. In USA marriage is a state subject….
Cricket is not religion
Some say cricket is a religion in India. They are wrong. Cricket is a game followed by many Indians. It is popular. That does not make it a religion. AIR and DD promoted cricket. India did reasonably well in cricket. In other games India lagged far behind. There is no god of cricket. There are…
Prostitution is commercial rape
There has been no talk on any TV channel about how to end prostitution. On the contrary there was talk about making it legal. There is evidence that prostitution has gone up where it was made legal. On 29/1/2014 Gloria Steinem said: “Prostitution involves body invasion and so it is not like any other work….
MPs want free drinks

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…
Justice for Jyoti
4/3/2015 — around 1.30 p.m. — CNN-IBN flashed a number. Kajori Sen said you can call on that number to express your views on a documentary on a rapist. I rang up thrice. The number was ringing but nobody picked it up. I feel calls are pre-recorded and call-in live is a farce. I wanted…
Budget 2015
On 28/2/2015 Arun Jaitley presented India’s budget for 2015-16. Sensex and Nifty went up and down during the day and finally ended up. Looks like some people managed to pull them up. Narendra Modi should replace Arun Jaitley as Finance Minister with someone suitable. Firstly, Finance Minister should be physically fit to read the full…
