Exceeding authority with impunity


Our PM, while in America, went overboard endorsing Trump with “Aki bar Trump sarkar.” Parliament offered no censure, avoiding meaningful debate on opposition concerns. In Uttar Pradesh, CM Yogi’s “bulldozer justice” is copied by other BJP states until curbed by the Supreme Court.
