India's aid to Turkiye and Syria a humanitarian strategic initiative.

The earthquake in Turkiye and Syria shook the whole world. Such earthquakes have also stirred many times in neighboring countries like Iran, Afghanistan and Nepal, but in the current earthquake, about 10,000 people have died and lakhs of people have been injured. The number of people rendered homeless is even larger. Let's hope no more shocks come.

Turkey had strongly opposed the steps taken by the Indian government regarding Kashmir. He had also tried to provoke other Muslim countries on the question of Kashmir, while countries like Saudi Arabia had called this issue an internal matter of India, but at this time, the Indian government has opened the doors of humanity by ignoring the religious passion of Turkey.

It has sent about 100 doctors and nurses to Ankara and Istanbul in four charter ships each. It has also dispatched a large number of rescuers who will try to save the lives of those trapped under the debris. Similar help was immediately sent by our governments when there was an earthquake in Japan in 2011 and Nepal in 2015. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had shown the audacity to unilaterally condemn the riots in Delhi, but our government did not differentiate between Hindu-Muslim while helping Turkey. With this, the image of the Modi government will also improve among the minorities of India.

Representatives of India and Turkey have been at loggerheads in the United Nations, but when Modi and Erdogan met at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization conference held in Samarkand in September last year, there was considerable softening in mutual relations. That's why I keep arguing that if we extend our hand to help the distressed people of Pakistan at this time, the relations between the two countries can improve tremendously.

Turkish Ambassador Firat Sunel has said about Indian help that "friend is the one who comes in handy at the time of trouble." India can extend its help if Turkey needs it. He can inspire other prosperous countries to help him. This initiative of his will instill a sense of respect for India in all the Muslim nations of the world. India will also have to learn a lesson from this dreadful earthquake.

PM Modi's editorial after Supreme Court's decision on Article 370, read big things

Narendra Modi.  The Supreme Court gave a historic verdict on the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35-A. In its decision it upheld the sovereignty and integrity of India, which has always been cherished by every Indian. PM Modi wrote, "Today the dreams of the people of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh are not dependent on the past, but on the possibilities of the future" The Supreme Court is absolutely right in saying that the decision taken on 5 August 2019 was taken with the aim of enhancing constitutional integration and not with the aim of disintegration. He also admitted that the nature of Article 370 was not permanent. The beautiful and serene valleys and snow-clad mountains of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh have been mesmerizing every Indian for generations, but for many decades, many places in Jammu and Kashmir have witnessed violence and instability that is unimaginable.  At the time of independence the then political leadership had the option of making a fresh start for national u...

The dispute between the party and the opposition, while remaining within the limits.

The opposition is adamant on its demand that the Home Minister should give a statement in case of breach in the security of Parliament, while the ruling party is underlining that the responsibility of security inside the Parliament lies with the Speaker of the Lok Sabha and in such a situation, the demand for the statement of the Home Minister is justified. No. It would have been better if the parties and the opposition had talked to each other and tried to find a middle path in this matter. It is not right that the opposition's uproar continues regarding the breach in the security of Parliament. Due to this uproar, more than 140 opposition MPs have been suspended from Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. This is a record number. The suspension of such a large number of MPs knowingly or unknowingly sent out the message that the ruling party is not ready to listen and understand the opposition, but the fact cannot be ignored that the MPs of the opposition parties who are demanding Home Minist...
