“Or did the government ever tape your phone or follow you, disturb your files or interfere in any way?”
In this month’s state elections, compared with the previous round in 2013, the BJP’s share of the popular vote has declined between four to eight percent in the three states it lost. The decline was even more significant – 14 to 17 percent – if we compare these latest results with the vote share the party had secured in these states in the 2014 parliamentary polls.
“In his book, Howard Blum said that the Justice Department was given a list of Nazi suspects back in 1972. Do you have that list or any other lists?”
133. Much reliance was placed on a judgment of the Supreme Court of Appeal, Chairman, Board on Tariffs and Trade and Others v Brenco Inc and Others 2001 (4) SA 511 SCA, where Zulman JA wrote that “fairness is context dependent”, that there “is no single set of principles for giving effect” to rules of natural justice and that there should be “real flexibility” in determining what would be fair in all the circumstances.
312. None of these named women were staff members or current volunteers or current interns at Equal Education. Two had been connected with EE in the past – ‘KK’ and ‘KS’. The Terms of Reference first required that the Human Resources Subcommittee receive evidence from those persons “spreading the rumours” whether or not there was an EE connection with any of the women named. Yet neither of ‘KR’ or ‘KS’ or any of the other persons included in emails about “rumours” and who received copies of the Human Resources Subcommittee Report and responded thereto in a manner which indicated they were party to the “rumours” ever came forward with anything approaching prima facie evidence as to any such connection. There was no evidence received because the supposed sources of “rumours” did not come forward.
In the last few days, the allies of the BJP, who once ate humble pie and remained in the coalition despite confessing in private that humiliation was a constant element in their relationship with the saffron party, have forced its leadership to come to the negotiating table and agree to the partners’ terms. Recent events within the ruling National Democratic Alliance indicate the changed equations within the saffron fold in comparison to 2014, when almost every party not in ideological opposition to the BJP was eager to be part of the bandwagon, and on the BJP’s terms.
The debate on the law to criminalise triple talaq – passed by the Lok Sabha on Thursday evening – has revolved around a simple question: when marriage is a civil contract and the Supreme Court has already invalidated instant triple talaq, what is the need to punish a man for trying to divorce his wife in a manner not recognised by law.
377. I am of the view that in this area, Achmat might (under less pressure and with less urgency) have thought to direct some attention be given to those leadership concerns raised by Hasson – even though I absolutely accept that the “rumours” had to come first: those “rumours” had to be substantiated by those who created or circulated the “rumours” and be turned into evidence of an Equal Education connection and thereafter an Isaacs connection. Similarly the Human Resources Subcommittee might have chosen to step beyond their Terms of Reference to make such a recommendation that these leadership issues be dealt with. Further, the Board may have given a more general and less personalized consideration to what was reported to them.
I remember from college biology class reading how CO affects the body. The cell membrane has a “chemical staircase” which transfers Oxygen through the cell wall to the interior of the cell. At one of those “steps” CO breaks the process.
Unfortunately, those of us who value religious freedom have been disillusioned by multiple governments once too often. The current BJP-led government has no pretensions about its dislike for the secular idea. Even those governments that proudly flaunt the label of “secularism” have subjected us to their non-secular realpolitik. Take the politics of Rajiv Gandhi, for instance, often touted as a “secular” Prime Minister: his government not only overturned the Shah Bano judgment, but also banned Salman Rushdie’s The Satanic Verses and had the locks of the Babri mosque in Ayodhya opened to Hindus. Every political party, including the Congress and the BJP, has played communal politics with everyone in India — Hindu, Muslim, minorities — in the search for pliable vote banks.
In the past three weeks, scientists have published three significant studies of this ephemeral organ. One gave a detailed analysis of all the genes expressed, or converted into functioning proteins, in the placenta; another experimented with a way to silence that expression when it causes trouble. In the third, researchers created mini-placentas, three-dimensional clusters of cells, or organoids, that mimic the real thing in the lab, and can be used as models for studying it.
