Tonight on The Buck Stops Here:
Government vs Gandhis: In season of slugfest who is winning?
As the monsoon session of Parliament ends with little business transacted, it's clear that in this season of slugfests, it's the government vs the Gandhis. On The Buck Stops Here, we debate: who is winning this war? Is the government guilty of not engaging with the Opposition, or the Opposition guilty of not willing to engage with the government?
'Last straw' say ex-chiefs on OROP; have our soldiers been forgotten?
For the last 60 days, our veteran soldiers have been protesting on the streets for One Rank One Pension. Today, four former military chiefs have written to the President saying, "One Rank One Pension is merely the last straw that has exhausted the Veterans' patience" and that "the recent developments have not only triggered a process of politicisation of the Indian military, but also served to inflict grave damage on its morale and self-esteem." On The Buck Stops Here, we debate: Will Prime Minister announce OROP on Independence Day? Will 'achche din' finally come for soldiers on August 15th?
