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

Trump confronts South African president over killing of white farmers
Washington, May 21 (AP): President Donald Trump used a White House meeting to confront South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, accusing his country of failing to address the killing of white farmers.
“People are fleeing South Africa for their own safety," said Trump, who at one point dimmed the lights in the Oval Office to play a video of a communist politician playing a controversial anti-apartheid song that includes lyrics about killing a farmer. "Their land is being confiscated and in many cases they're being killed."
Ramaphosa pushed back against Trump's accusation. The South African leader had sought to use the meeting to set the record straight and salvage his country's relationship with the United States. The bilateral relationship is at its lowest point since South Africa enforced its apartheid system of racial segregation, which ended in 1994.
“We are completely opposed to that,” Ramaphosa said of the behaviour alleged by Trump in their exchange.
Experts in South Africa say there is no evidence of whites being targeted, although farmers of all races are victims of violent home invasions in a country that suffers from a very high crime rate.
