Not only do we need #NJAC for appointment of judges, we also need #JAC (Judicial Accountability Commission) with a panel headed by an ombudsman to review judges’ performance on an annual basis. Justices are public servants. They must be held accountable to the people they serve.

Two men with a combined age of 160 years will fight the 2024 US presidential election. Whoever a deeply polarised country elects, the problem for America is a lack of young, charismatic leaders in an increasingly fraught global world order. My ⁦Open Magazine⁩ column

Tight well-deserved slap on the wrist of #CJI -led bench which reversed an older #SC order which had found in favour of Reliance (Anil Ambani group) vs Delhi Metro running into Rs 8,000 crore. ⁦Swaminomics⁩ right to castigate SC for opening floodgates for curative petitions

I asked #ChatGPT to project GDP of #US , #China & #India in 2050 at ave annual growth rate of respectively 2%, 3% & 8%.

China: $41.79 trillion.
US: $39.79 trillion.
India: $35.02 trillion.

Beyond the numbers are qualitative caveats. My ⁦BW Businessworld⁩ column

Biden & Trump have a combined age of 160 years. The question: who next? With few young challengers in sight once Biden-Trump are gone after their second-term limit is over, deeply polarised America faces a “democracy deficit”.

#CII chief R Dinesh says India can sustain 8-9% GDP growth over the next few years & hit 10% after FY29 when the full lag effect of govt capex kicks in.

#RaghuramRajan ’s prediction of 5% growth during his chat with ⁦Rahul Gandhi⁩ is a little off-target, deliberately so.

Caught in 2 hours in joint op with #NIA intel — after hiding in multiple Kolkata hotels, unhindered by Kolkata police, for over 22 days.

Bengaluru cafe bombers Mussavir & Abdul hid in Kolkata hotels, ⁦Mamata Banerjee⁩, under the nose of Kolkata police for nearly all of March without being caught⁩.

It took intel from #NIA to locate them in West Bengal’s Digha where they were arrested in a joint NIA-WB op

Why is it that all terrorists head towards the safe haven of #WestBengal like Bengaluru cafe bomb-makers arrested in WB whose police had earlier protected accused rapist & kidnapper #SheikhShahjahan for 55 days?

Dear #CJIChandrachud , the use of vituperative language by an SC Justice calls for a severe reprimand and an unqualified retraction.

SC justices should set standards not lower them as Justice Ahsanuddin Amanullah did, displaying clear bias against the respondents. Please act.

Minhaz Merchant Dainik Bhaskar BJP approach to muslims has worked best in their favor. All programmes are open to them too. If you are eligible you get it. How many are aware 10% EWS reservation helps muslims, not in SC ST OBC list. If muslims decide Nation first, UMMA next, will help them hugely 4/n👍💐

Ratan Sharda 🇮🇳 रतन शारदा Minhaz Merchant Spot on, Indian Muslims are not the real problem, ' secular ' Hindu politicians are using them for votes by spinning stories of Hindutva. Congress does nothing, but only talks about RSS to confuse them. Hope they understand & at least vote real Minority parties, if they want.
