A Prime Minister needs better choice of words
The language our PM and some Congress politicians are using during election rallies in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chattisgarh does not befit the office each one of them holds. Some irresponsible Cong MLAs asked sarcastically about the father of PM Modi. This is highly condemnable. But the person who set the use of such language into motion is PM himself. The run up to 2014 elections he had referred to Sonia Gandhi as Jersey cow and Rahul Gandhi as the hybrid calf. Actually none of the Congress leaders have brought down the level of discourse to as worse as Modi did.
This country has seen many PMs starting from Nehru to Manmohan Singh. But nobody had stooped this low. Even Atal Bihari Vajpayee who came from Modi's own party addressed his detractors with great respect and dignity. He would never address anyone in singular figure of speech. Even if he did, he'd immediately express regret for that. But our PM suffers from less education and low research on any topic he'd prefer to speak. So that comes out evidently. He even forgets the fact that he is a PM and uses all sorts of mediocre body language and blatant lies to support his fake arguments. His speeches barely have truths in them.
One wonders whether the PM is even aware of whatever he is doing. On Sunday, speaking at an election campaign in Rajasthan, he said “Congress is exerting pressure on the Supreme Court in the backdrop of 2019 elections”. A PM should not stoop so low to bring down the credibility of the Supreme Court. In actual sense, Congress is not in any position to bring any pressure on Supreme Court with a mere 44 MPs. BJP is in power, with absolute majority. A PM with 56’ chest is representing them. There are allegations that the government is interfering with the judiciary too. BJP rode the Ram Mandir wave and came to power assuring to build Ram Mandir and it couldn’t have been difficult for the party to build the Mandir through an ordinance. But the party chose to remain silent for the last four and a half years, and with just six months to go for Lok Sabha elections BJP is trying to organize Dharma Sabhas in Ayodhya and instigate the Hindus to form a vote bank again.
The Modi government gave probably the worst administration in the term so far and never attempted to solve any problem prevailing in the country. Black money didn’t come into the country in any form, though this was one of the main assurances he had made to people in the run up to the elections. Inflation went unchecked. The cooking gas that was available for Rs 398 in 2014 now costs Rs 1000 now. Banking sector has been ruined. The skirmish between Reserve Bank and Finance ministry is out in the open. Internal squabbles have become the order of the day in CBI. UGC has been uprooted. Planning Commission doesn’t exist anymore. Corporate industrialists have robbed the banks and escaped to other nations with the help of the government. The GauRakshaks are making people’s life miserable, by killing innocent people on mere suspicion. Law and order has collapsed. The PM didn’t break his silence even when Gauri Lankesh was killed or Swami Agnivesh was attacked.
Modi bhakts are busy cancelling even music programs of Carnatic vocalists. People are tired of the ill effects of GST and demonetization. To avoid facing the ire of these people in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, the government is busy dividing them on religious lines and instigating them against the Congress. CBI is being brandished like a weapon to shut the mouth of leaders of other parties. This does not dignify the chair of the PM. Elections come and go, but the main task of every politician is to ensure the constitution is respected and adhered to.
The neighbouring Pakistan that took to military rule is unable to extricate itself to establish a democratic process owing to the misrule of some army generals. But India has upheld its secular credentials and upheld the democracy owing to the fact that our constitution empowers us. If all these are protected, the country will remain strong and safe.

Madhu Kishwar booked over alleged misleading content on social media
Chandigarh (PTI): Academician Madhu Kishwar has been booked on charges of criminal defamation, promoting enmity and other offences by Chandigarh police following a complaint by a resident alleging circulation of forged and misleading content on social media.
A Chandigarh police team on Tuesday served notice to Kishwar in Delhi, asking her to join the investigation in the case.
Sarita Roy, the Station House Officer of Sector-19 police station in Chandigarh, where the FIR was filed, told reporters in the national capital that the notice was issued under Section 35(3) of the BNSS and that Kishwar has been asked to appear and present her side.
Kishwar and some other social media users have been booked under various sections of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, including 196 (criminalises acts that promote enmity, hatred, or ill-will between groups based on religion, race, language), 336 (1) (forgery) and 356 (criminal defamation), and the IT Act, according to the FIR.

They have also been charged under Section 353 (penalises making, publishing, or circulating false information that cause public mischief...) and those related to cheating and forgery under the BNS.
According to a statement by the Chandigarh police, a city-based complainant on April 19 alleged that some forged and misleading social media posts and video clips with obscene text and content were being circulated by various social media users, misidentifying the person in the video.
The complainant alleged that it is a deliberate act of creating a false electronic record using obscene words and phrases, having knowledge and sufficient reason to believe that the posts are misleading and false, with the intent to cause damage or injury.
The video, which circulated with the intent to cause harm to the reputation of a constitutional authority and to disturb public peace and tranquillity, should be investigated, and appropriate action should be taken, the complainant said.
The complainant said the person seen in the video is a travel vlogger whose wife regularly posts updates about their activities on social media. The original video was shared from her social media account.
"As per the statement of the woman, she disclosed that the person in the video shared from her account is her husband. Statements of her husband and another lady in the video have also been recorded during preliminary investigation," said the police statement, adding that further probe is underway.
Meanwhile, Kishwar, in a social media post, said that a Chandigarh police team had visited her late Monday night to serve her notice regarding the FIR registered against her.
"Since the law forbids the police to visit or arrest women after dark and before sunrise, I spoke on phone to the leader of the delegation. She told me that their team has come to serve notice regarding an FIR registered against me in Chandigarh. I insisted that they go by the law and come in the morning," she wrote on X.
