Mr. PM , there isn’t a pinch of sincerity in your body language
An open letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi
Honourable Prime minister ,
I learnt that you are about to overtake all your political opponents with your strident 21 speeches instead 15 as per your earlier itinerary ; assume that this looks coincidental with the invasions of Parashuram round the earth to annihilate all of Kshatriyas
Sir, I’ve been in this country for the past 60 years, but I do not know whether any other prime minister has so frequently visited the state in a single year; hence your repeated visits to the state seem quite historic to me.
Its my wish that the state of Karnataka would benefit to the full extent from your repeated visits ; so sir, I request that the next time you visit Karnataka, do so with a bit more sincerity.
I also ask that you to speak to people along with your followers in a way that brings in respect for you. There is no need to shy away from knowing history and the current situation; Mr. Pm, it looks that there isn’t a pinch of sincerity in your body language.
The rift between the north and south is widening and there are economic , social, cultural and political reasons for this; as you might be aware the inclination towards formation of a separate southern federation of states is increasing day by day. There is no National water policy to resolve the interstate water disputes amicably, if you have any such policy in the works please do share with us.
Among 22 languages recognised constitutionally, 18 are North Indian and only 4 are from the South; 96 regional languages are yet to be recognised and furthermore 79 regional languages are on the verge of extinction. There is an urgent need for a National linguistic policy to retain and develop these dying languages. I request you to also share your vision and mission about the linguistically plural heritage of India
Respected sir , you’ve visited more than 60 foreign countries in the previous year , so now please explain to us how India benefits from frequent foreign visits and remove the skepticism in our minds.
How much of monetary resources had flooded in? How many jobs have been generated? If they’re not at a satisfactory level ,What are the reasons for it? We as citizens of this country understand that all this is necessary for democracy to stay alive.
Sir there is so much I want say to say but enough for now.I would listen to your speech and write to you again ; I am expecting more from your 21 speeches " Pradakshins " of Karnataka , please do not disappoint us
Regards
Dr. Purushothama Bilimale

Allahabad HC orders police protection to married couple apprehending 'honour killing'
Prayagraj (PTI): The Allahabad High Court has granted protection to a married couple who expressed fear that they may be killed by the woman's family.
The order was passed by a division bench comprising Justice JJ Munir and Justice Tarun Saxena on March 25.
"No individual can make an 'honour issue' out of a consenting adult marrying a person of their own choice. It is the state's duty to protect the life, limb, and property of such persons even against their own family members," the bench said.
The court was hearing a petition filed by Prachi Agrawal and her partner, who sought relief in connection with an FIR filed under Section 87 of Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for kidnapping, and abducting or inducing a woman to compel her marriage.
The couple submitted that they married at an Arya Samaj temple and possessed a marriage registration certificate issued under the Uttar Pradesh Marriage Registration Rules, 2017.
The petitioners alleged that the woman's family members were averse to their marriage and lodged a bogus FIR against them.
The couple further submitted a joint affidavit expressing apprehension of an honour killing by the woman's family.
The court said that a prima facie case was made out and issued notice to the private respondent and granted two weeks to file a counter-affidavit.
Meanwhile, as an interim measure, the court granted the petitioners protection from arrest.
The court also explicitly ordered the woman's family members and relatives not to harm the petitioners, enter their matrimonial home, or establish contact with them directly or through any electronic means.
The bench directed the Aligarh senior superintendent of police to ensure that no harm comes to the couple and posted the matter for hearing on April 8.
