Lol
I am just glad my article is circulating and that people are getting a grip of the gravity of situation.
Thanks buddy!
My own website (the one on which the article in discussion was published) and my twitter account keeps me busy.
Would love to participate in discussions, but I don’t get the time.
Well, it's good you're busy but a visit once or twice every week isn't anything out of the ordinary especially considering you're one of the founding members here. Sorry, if I'm a bit brusque.
If anyone here has come under attack for being a part of this website, and publicly humiliated— it was me.
I don’t know if you know about the incident.
But guys here are very supportive.
Anyways I don’t want to deviate the discussion here.
Ciao!
Humiliated by an idiot? And you consider what you've stood for to be humiliated!! Don't be silly. Won't deviate much either. But speaking on behalf of all veterans ( I hope I'm not exceeding my brief here) , I think you ought to post often.
Pls correct me if I'm wrong.

Delhi riots: Ankit Sharma was stabbed over 400 times for four to six hours, ‘never seen such mutilation in our life,’ say forensic doctors

These protests are diversion, I am no expert but there should be vigil and high alert.
Instead of going offensive on Pakistan now the govt has to manage domestic issues. Clean the mess, and manage the crisis. That's where our resources go waste.
There was Mansoor Pashteen protest going on since months in Pakistan, GoI could have utilized that opportunity. But the ISI played it's game better and they diverted India's attention towards CAA.
And here we are after 3 months.
If you are angry don't beat the guy in your home, go out and vent your anger outside, the guy in home will get the lesson. Indians need to learn it. We are only an embarrassment in the name of Chanakya.
Forget the media narrative. Even Donald trump is not able to handle them.All you need to understand for now is their loyalties are somewhere else.
The biggest takeaway from this ordeal is how powerless/incompetent/underprepared Delhi Police is. It took them 2 days of rioting to come to their senses. Also, shows how competent UP Police has been in controling violence and dealing with the perpetrators even after having much less resources on average and much more population to control. The fact that Ghaziabad police had to cross state boundary to save people inside Delhi should be lauded and praised. Everyone who was involved in encouraging this violence irrespective of which religion they belong to, which party they support, including the toxic social media frenzy, everyone should be punished. Especially the Social Media vultures. The next few days will tell if BJP is really a competent party at its core or not.
I think whatever little case there was to transfer authority to the Delhi State Government of the Delhi Police has now vanished. In fact those laws which stated express permission ought to be taken for prosecution of certain cases from the state government will be rescinded.

Stage set for ''untouchable'' Amulya Patnaik''s grand farewell
New Delhi, Feb 27 (IANS) The stage has been set for an honourable exit for Delhi Police chief Amulya Patnaik,
who came under fire for the police incompetence in handling a spate of violent clashes over the last few months.
According to sources, while bodies of riot victims were being fished out from drains and recovered from lanes of
northeast Delhi, Patnaik was busy in effecting transfer and posting of his favourite officers. A transfer list of fives
officers were released by Patnaik when people were killing each other on the city streets. Another list of lower level
officers are expected before his retirement.
Patnaik, who could not gauge the communal situation in northeast Delhi that led to mayhem, has been expecting a
post-retirement job from the central government. His closeness with a former Gujarat cadre IAS officer, who is
basically from Odisha and is posted at Prime Minister Office (PMO), made him untouchable.
His ties made him invincible in the bureaucratic circle and empowered him to subjugate the Delhi Police officers
who flagged loopholes in the city''s law and order, sources said. Many young officers is said to have opted for the
central deputation because of his alleged ''arrogance'', they added.
He created his own coterie of officers and indulged in the blatant game of transfer and posting, sources said and
added, many transfers were done allegedly on the behest of his predecessor Alok Verma. Even when Verma was
unceremoniously removed from Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Patnaik continued to follow him, they added.
He was about to be shunted out from the force in 2018 when four Intelligence Bureau (IB) officers were humiliated
outside Verma''s residence, but he managed to save his skin due to the retired IAS officer''s blessings, according to
Home Ministry sources.
His batch-mate Prabhat Singh''s name was proposed by the Home Ministry as Patnaik''s replacement, but the move
was was dropped by the PMO at the last minute. The friendship with Verma and the ex-IAS officer and their
bureaucratic circle helped him sail through even when his own force protested against him. For the first time in the
history of any uniformed force in India, the Delhi Police personnel protested against Patnaik and sat on dharna (strike)
in 2019. He was hooted by his own men. But with the "blessing" Patnaik became stronger, the police sources said.
It didn''t matter to him whether his men were beaten up by lawyers or the cops entered Jamia Millia Islamia campus
and wrecked havoc. Amid this, he ensured that his batch-mates S.N. Srivastava and Ajay Kashyap were not transferred
back to the Delhi Police from their deputation postings, sources said.
A spate of incidents pushed the force''s morale to all-time low, but it was overlooked by Patnaik as well as the government.
He ensured his reporting bosses remained happy, for which he was awarded a month''s extension to oversee Delhi Assembly
elections. All this, sources said, made him untouchable. When riots started in Delhi, he was casual and took it as the 2010
peaceful protests during an anti-corruption movement. He didn''t deploy additional forces in riot-hit areas, leading to mob
attacks on DCP Amit Sharma and death of Head Constable Ratan Lal death. All this forced the cops to fend for themselves,
instead of containing the riot.
And Patnaik has ensured that he get a grand farewell On February 29.

Well, now you know who is responsible. His replacement is being trumpeted everywhere while everyone is ignoring that he got
this position partly due Amulya Patnaik itself. A vicious cycle.
