Rahul leads oppn march against govt, says ‘murder of democracy’

Rahul Gandhi alleged that the voice of 60 percent of the country has been crushed, humiliated and yesterday in the Rajya Sabha, they (women MPs) were physically beaten. Parliament session is over, but as far as 60 percent of the country is concerned, there has been no Parliament session.

Discordant note

The Republic Day parade itself is an archaic display of military might and grandeur, an anachronism in a modern day democracy, but successive governments have revelled in showcasing it to foreign guests and comparing it to the Bastille Day celebrations in Paris’ Champs Elysee.
