Stepping Back Against the backdrop of China blocking India’s move to ban JeM chief Masood Azhar at the UN, BJP general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya recently posted a series of tweets asking people to boycott Chinese goods. “Take a pledge with your friends and family members that you will not buy Chinese products nor would promote them. Jai Hind,” he tweeted. But he later deleted all five tweets on the subject and claimed they had been sent out by his office without his consent. WATCH VIDEO: PM Modi To Push For Masood Azhar's Ban With Chinese President Jinping During BRICS Summit Top Secret While the process of appointment of judges through the collegium remains confidential between the judiciary and the government, the unusual secrecy was also the highlight when a PIL on judicial appointments was heard by the Supreme Court on Monday. A bench led by Chief Justice of India T S Thakur, who also heads the collegium in the top court, had an in-chamber hearing on Monday with Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi, representing the Centre. Rohatgi was called inside the chamber of the CJI, where Justice Thakur examined the files relating to judges’ appointments. As the entire proceeding remained completely secret, one of the PIL petitioners, Amar Singh, returned home clueless about the fate of his plea after waiting for long outside Courtroom Number 1. Online Anguish When Delhi BJP leader R P Singh tweeted about a “second Innova car” being stolen from his residence in 10 months, he received many interesting responses. While one person blamed the AAP government for being unable to control crime, even though Delhi Police reports to the Union home ministry, another asked him not to buy an Innova again. Singh, who had tagged the Home Minister and MoS for Home in his tweet, also received a brief response from Delhi Police, asking him to report the matter at his local police station “for necessary action as per law”.
