I agree with President Trump about the expletive used by this newly elected Congress women.  I wonder if she will be allowed to use similar words for a ruler or a king in Palestine or in any other Muslim country.  Definitely not.  She will be beheaded within no time.  So, instead of being thankful to  enjoy freedom of speech in this country, people like her misuse the soft tenets of democracy in this country.  Unfortunately, none of any congressman and woman of democratic party has spoken against her unacceptable behavior and use of foul language against the President of this great nation.  I think it is about time to pass a legislation to condemn those who use a foul language against the Office of the President.  One may not like a person sitting in the Oval Office, but as long as he/she is occupying that office, that office demands respect.  Mentally imbalanced people like her do not deserve to be in the Congressional office

Mr. Abdullah's statement about bringing peace in Kashmir is very confusing. He says military is not the solution, When his family's three generations ruled this part of India, their democratic ways did not bring peace in Kashmir either. Hence, democracy is not the solution either. He also blames BJP of creating rift between local Hindu and Muslim community. So, where does the solution lies, Mr. Abdullah? With my limited knowledge of the situation in Kashmir, I think the solution lies with the Pakistani military and ISI only. China does not need to be blamed. China is using Pakistan and its territory to achieve their objective which is to come closer to the Indian border. It will help them in the event of any war situation with India. Coming back to the nexus of Pakistani military/ISI, they will not let the Kashmir situation die because their livelihood is predicated on this. The moment there is a peace in Kashmir, the importance and need to have such a large military in Pakistan will go down. Their survival is at risk. Hence, this Kashmir issue is not going to go away. This can be solved only by one of the three ways- one to live with the status quo, secondly, accept LOC as the international boundary and the last and most difficult one is to have an all out war and the winner takes it all. This needs to be accepted by both countries including the Pakistani nexus cited above. The civilian government in Pakistan never had any say in this situation, it is military nexus which makes the decision. So, Mr. Abdullah ought to arrange his meeting with the Pakistan government and the military establishment to find out what their true intention is in this matter.

Those who keep track of political news know that Obama is a liar.  But the problem is most of the people, especially the milennials and many housewives, in this country are not interested in politics, and do not keep track of political news.  Hence, when Obama tells lies with  a straight face, he convinces all those people very easily which eventually shows its effect at the voting booth.  If, after reading many different articles and listening to some inside stories, my understanding is correct, Obama is not going to be around for a long time.  Pretty soon he will be in a Orange suit. Just for your information, his birth certificate issue is not resolved yet.  If that is proven otherwise along with other pending charges, this country may treat his presidency null and void, and Trump will be the 44th President.

You also sent me a clipping of an interview at the Indian channel about somebody opening a hospital in Telanagana where only Muslim patients will be treated.  Non-Muslims will not be entertained.  I think in the South there are two Owaissi brothers- both anti-India and anti-Hindu.  I will not be surprised if they are behind this move which is, if approved by the State government, will further polarize the society.  I am wondering how Muslim community will feel if the central government declares that in Delhi, no Muslim patient will be treated in the capital. I am also wondering if there is any counter response from the Muslim Organizations/Mullahs in India against the hospital in the south.  Also, I wonder what the Indian Constitution says about this hospital.  Can State government do it on its own without taking permission from the central government?

Prime Minister Imran Khan's gesture and offer to open Hindu temples for Hindus interested in travelling to Pakistan to visit these religious places is a nice and well received gesture. So was the latest opening a Kartarpur corridor to improve relations between the two countries. However, Ms. Mehbooba who sounded like a mouthpiece and spokesperson of Imran Khan should realized that the relations cann't improve unless the civilian government in Islamabad has a final decision making authority in this matter. She is in politics, especially in local politics, for a long time, and one wonders what is it so hard to understand the main stumbling block of deteriorating relations between India and Pakistan. It is not the access to Kartarpur corridor or lack of approval for the Hindus in India to their religious places in Pakistan, it is the hell-bent anti-India mandate and attitude on the part of the Pakistani military establishment. Unless this anti-India attitude is altered, this writer has his apprehension about seeing any improvement in this situation. So, may be Ms. Mehbooba ought to talk to Mr. Imran Khan to look into this bone of contention - altering military's set mind predicated on anti-India ideology- instead of supporting Mr. Khan's toothless and baseless proposals.

Mr. Imran Khan said that he and his party are willing to move forward for peace between India and Pakistan if India takes one step forward with two steps taken by his party. He also said that his party and military in Islamabad are on the same page. I wonder what page is he referring to - page chosen by his party or the page decided by the Pakistani military. Pakistani history tells us that there was never any common ground between the civilian and military establishment in Islamabad as respect to relation with India is concerned. If he really meant what he says then let him take two steps - one to declare openly to stop abetting, aiding all terrorist activities in Pakistan and imprison all those who openly move around in his country raising anti-India slogans. Secondly, hand over all members of D-Company to India. Can he do it or dares to do it? If the answer is yes, then India should initiate a dialogue. One can see from the pictures at the Kartarpur corridor ceremony where Mr. Gopal Chawla - a pro-Khalistani activist is being greeted by the Chief of the Pakistani army that their intention is not good as respects to ameliorating relation between two countries. These political statements, as Mr. Imran Khan is making, are just political to appease the local subjects in the country - nothing else.
