Rahul Gandhi gave the right to ask the first question to JNU students who shouted slogans at the campus last night against the Congress’ role in the 1984 Delhi riots. “Let us first give voice to the opposition,” he said (The Hindu, pg 1). Even if that was tokenism, how many politicians would risk that in India? Well done, Rahul.

 The BJP is ready to fight the Haryana elections. Its manifesto is out: The party will ban western music and “indecency in the name of culture”. The next big promise: It will set up a Cow-care Commission, “Gau seva aayog” (The Hindu, pg 5). Cow and Culture. Yessir, that’s what Haryana needs the most. Go, win the elections with that.
