It is astonishing that no one has challenged the MHA order in court, based on which Bengali Muslims are being randomly picked up and detained in several states for citizenship verification even after two months of continued harassment. Is this the new NRC?

Among the hullabaloo of Justice Varma’s corruption case, no attention to daily acts of corruption which has become part of the judicial system; a 500rs there for certified copy, 200rs there for getting date. All paid to court staff. At the end its the poor litigant who suffer.
