to the most respected finance minister. i have a doubt. please find time to answer me.
you say that the venue for a debate is the parliament.
you say that my home minister, amit shah has offered a special session to debate.
you say that if rahul gandhi - the leader of opposition, wants to debate my prime minister, he should come to the parliament.
ma'am, let's start by pointing out some facts.
jul 20 - the parliament session opens. narendra modi, the ever so hon'ble prime minister - addresses the media - outside the parliament. he asks for a fact-based debate.
jul 24 - Amit Shah's National Honour Bill is introduced in Rajya Sabha, by Nityanand Rai, who is MoS for home affairs. Jairam Ramesh asks "Where is the Cabinet Minister". This is present in the RS Transcript.
jul 29 - Rahul Gandhi, the leader of opposition - asks "why is the Home Minister not here today?". This is also present in the LS Transcript.
jul 30 - Rahul Gandhi asks "why Shah is so scared of coming to Parliament"
aug 4 - Amit Shah, is seen in the parliamentary complex. at an NDA Parliamentary Party Meeting. He Doesn't enter the house. as per reporting from Navbharat Live.
aug 6 - Mallikarjun Kharge, in Rajya Sabha, asks "Why is the Prime Minister not coming? Why is the Home Minister not coming?" as Per Kerala Kamudi - this is consistent with the RS transcript.
aug 11 - congress MP Manickam Tagore attacks the absent home minister. as per reporting by the ANI.
aug 12 - Amit Shah says to the media, "have been coming to Parliament regularly since the Session began; I sit in my chamber."
talking to the media, at around 12:30 PM, Amit Shah offered "If the Opposition wrote to the speaker, there would be a debate from 3 PM wednesday (12 aug - the same day) to 3 PM thursday (13 aug - the next day)
this was roughly a 2 hour window to submit the letter.
he further said "I will sit in the House; I will listen to everyone and respond to every point."
Rahul Gandhi said "We are not interested in listening to his lecture, Who shot those students? Who blinded that student? Who ordered the lathi charge?"
this referred to the Pellet Shots fired at the Student, Sahil Lochav. He asked about the Lathi Charge that happened in the protests on July 20th.
The Opposition wanted a statement from Shah about this, Shah wanted them to submit a letter to the speaker, in a window of roughly 2 hours - after not being present for 17 straight settings. with no recorded appearance.
aug 13 - Lok Sabha sits for 4 minutes. 11:00 AM to 11:04 AM. The National Song, Vande Mataram, is played. and then, the house is adjourned sine die. Both ever so honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Shri Amit Shah were present on these days. for the 4 minutes.

Respected Finance Minister Ma'am,
These were the facts I have pointed out. I have not said anything that was my own opinion. I have not framed the facts in a way that support any party. My facts were gathered by scraping Documents from the LS and RS portal, OCR'ing the PDFs, then parsing them and then Aggregating News Sources. - and pointing out facts from them. Cold, Hard, Records.
I have not asked any questions yet - which I will do now.
I am a human. I have evolved Pattern Seeking skills.
I spot a pattern here. I see that for the entirety of the Monsoon Session, Prime Minister Modi, and Home Minister Shah, did not utter a word on the record of the Lok Sabha. They were not present in the house except for the last 4 minutes, on the last day.
Shah says "He was sitting in his cabin",
Ma'am, I don't think debates happen when you sit alone in a cabin. It happens on the floor, where the other side can ask questions too.
I don't see a meaningful debate happening in an environment like the Parliament. I say this with utter disappointment.
If Parliament is the venue for debate, why did the two most senior members of the government not speak there once in 19 sittings? And why was the one offer to debate made to the press on the 18th day, with a deadline of a couple of hours?
Why are there "offers" even? I think it is your responsibility to be in debates because that is your entire job.
As you say, "Demanding answers also carries an obligation to hear them." -- Well, were Amit Shah or Narendra Modi, hearing the Questions being asked? They were not in the house even.
Please Answer my Doubts. I would be very obliged if you do so.
Regards,
Sarthak
Rahul ji, you ask the Prime Minister to choose a venue for a debate. There is already one: Parliament, where you happen to be the LoP.
Just yesterday, Home Minister Shri @AmitShah offered a special session to debate SIR and EVMs. Why not show the same enthusiasm for a debate in Parliament that you show while issuing challenges on social media?
Demanding answers also carries an obligation to hear them.
There have been several occasions when you and your party have walked out of Parliament while the government was responding to your allegations. How do you claim to be so eager for a debate when you don’t even stay to hear the other side?
It doesn’t stop at walkouts. You and the INDI Alliance have repeatedly disrupted proceedings, leading to entire sittings being washed out. If you are so keen on debating, why not allow Parliament to function in the first place?
And then there’s the mock Parliament you recently held at the Congress President’s residence. Frankly, that was more a ‘mockery of Parliament’ than a ‘mock Parliament’. You found the time and enthusiasm for that exercise. Surely, the real Parliament deserves at least as much.
You speak endlessly about protecting democracy and the Constitution. But that respect should also reflect in how you treat the institutions they have established.
As for the issues you frivolously raise, bring specific allegations and evidence to back them up. Simply throwing together a long list of accusations doesn’t make your case any stronger. As LoP, you are expected to show some seriousness and responsibility.
You say, “Daro mat.”
Then bring the facts, face the scrutiny and stay to hear the answers. In the House, uphold the standards of debate you demand from others.

Now we have gone all the way back to Chauri Chaura. Am sure someone will now point out how many Hindu organisations did not take part in the Quit India movement and actually even worked with the Muslim League.
And while all this happens, current issues will be ignored.
Tend to agree with @priyankagandhi - curse Nehru all you want for a few days. Do whatever you wish with him. But please come back to the present after that.
#WATCH | Gorakhpur: UP CM Yogi Adityanath says, "Regarding the current circumstances being created within the country by those who act as 'kingmakers'—and the kind of politics being played out on the streets—Ramdhari Singh Dinkar once wrote: 'Andha chakachaundh ka mara, kya jaane itihas bechara?'... It surprises me that when we speak of the historic Chauri Chaura incident, we must remember that the British sentenced 172 patriots to the gallows there. The Congress party often makes a great fuss, claiming that Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru was a formidable advocate for the nation. But what is the truth? When the historic Chauri Chaura incident took place on February 4, 1922, and the British arrested 172 individuals, farmers, labourers, and traders, sentencing them to death, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru was nowhere to be found. Who, then, stepped forward to provide legal defense? It was Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya. And he presented such a compelling case that he succeeded in saving 151 of these revolutionaries, farmers, labourers, traders, and young men, from the gallows..."
He adds, "Recall how the railway line at Bhopa Bazar had split the area into two. When we visited here on February 4, 2022, the place was plagued by hours-long traffic jams. There was congestion on both sides, hindering movement and creating total disarray. But it was then, when Kamlesh Paswan raised the question, 'Could a bridge be built here?'—Today, I am pleased that, alongside the Chauri Chaura Martyrs' Memorial, an excellent flyover has been constructed to facilitate local movement; a project that was once merely a vision has now become a reality..."

बदलते रिश्ते
क्यों कोई हो जाता है अजनबी सा
क्यों कट जाता कोई किसी से
वज़ह हो होगी कहीं
बात तो होगी कोई
या तो चुभे होंगे कांटे उन राहों पर
या फिर नहीं होंगे पुष्प अब उन राहों पर
वार्ना बेवजह तो कोई नहीं
बदलता है पुरानी राह कभी.

The Election Commission has filed its reply in the Supreme Court to the petition on how the three-member Commission functions.
27 pages, approved by all three members. Its argument: every decision was unanimous, and a Commissioner’s note is a “suggestion,” not a decision.
Here’s what it addresses, and what it doesn’t.

In faceless income tax assessments, Assessing Officers are increasingly seeking extensive and highly detailed information within unreasonably short deadlines.
Complying with such exhaustive requirements is often practically impossible, even with the assistance of advanced accounting software and professional support.
This approach creates unnecessary hardship for taxpayers and places an undue compliance burden on businesses.
Faceless assessment should aim to ensure transparency, fairness and efficiency—not become a source of harassment for the business community.
The matter deserves the urgent attention of higher authorities, particularly the @IncomeTaxIndia @FinMinIndia to ensure that reasonable time is granted for submissions, information requests remain proportionate and relevant and taxpayers are treated fairly throughout the assessment process.

The judicial custody of #AshutoshRanka and #SauravDas must be urgently reviewed and they must be released immediately.
Hoisting the National Flag, even in a prohibited area, should not warrant such prolonged detention. The judiciary and the executive must rise to the occasion to ensure that the youth of this country do not lose faith in the rule of law and constitutional rights.

I don't think it is fully understood what young people are putting on the line in these protests, their courage. They have no rank, money, access, privilege or social media following. Esp. young women who also face the risk of physical harassment. An extraordinary generation.

And I am ashamed of this.
I'm a sad person for last 12 years watching the rot happening in politics, media, religion , judiciary and in the mind of many people.

श्यामल रात सा दुःख
और उदास चाँदनी सा उजास
ख़ामोशी भरा सन्नाटा
और मौन है आवाज
पवन भी है रुकी रुकी
स्तब्ध है शायद किसी सदमे से
दूर कहीं कोई पपीहा बोला
बहुत देर तक
अपनी व्यथा लिए शायद
याद कर रहा वह किसे अब तक
ये रात के पहर है ठहरे से
उदासी को साथ में लिए हुए

More then the media it's the judiciary ( for last many years since 2014 ) which is the main culprit for most of the big mess going in this country.
In my many years I've never seen such a low for them.
These protests are not being shown on any Indian TV news channels.
The rot in which Indian news tv media is quite stinking.

plus so many other.
You are a blot on the journalism.
