Do you think IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers and COO and Accountable Manager Porqueras will be able to provide satisfactory explanations for the flight disruptions to the DGCA?

Image
The mass flight cancelation in mid-December 2015 was well planned by major aviation player Indigo of India. This mass flight cancellation of flights was timed during the peak marriage and holiday time by cancelling about 1000 or more flights to cause maximum disruptions. It also coincided with visit of Russian President Putin’s visit to New Delhi. Clearly, all international media started bad mouthing about India’s civil aviation mess. The root cause of the problem was shortage of pilots in that airline company. The airline failed to follow the guidelines of fine balance between planes, flights and pilot strength. The pilot shortage was allowed to continue with excess pilot duties until pilots went on strike. The Indigo brand image, share value and reputation plunged. The management begged in front of Indian government to provide them adequate time to recruit additional pilots. The whole incident indicate lack of inventory planning, regulatory guideline non-compliance and casual attitud...

Trump mentioned how the US has been "disrespected, ridiculed, and undermined" at the UN. Do you think this is accurate? If so, why do you think that is?

Image
The real reason the US invaded Venezuela and removed the leader Maduro, goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974. This is actually about the survival of the US dollar itself. Not drugs. Not terrorism. Not democracy. This is about the petrodollar system that has kept America the dominant economic power for 50 years. And Venezuela just threatened to end it. Venezuela has 303 billion barrels of proven oil reserves. The largest on earth and more than Saudi Arabia. But Venezuela was actively selling that oil in Chinese Yuan, not dollars. In 2018, Venezuela announced it would free itself from the dollar. They started accepting Yuan, Euros, Roubles, anything but dollars for oil. Stephen Miller (US homeland security advisor) literally said it out loud sometime back, "American sweat, ingenuity and toil created the oil industry in Venezuela. Its tyrannical expropriation was the largest recorded theft of American wealth and property." He was not hiding it. They...

Is Modi really silent?

Image
Indian PM Modi hits back silently. The year 2025 saw some geopolitical conflicts which can be termed as mini-war. This includes 4 day areal battle between India and Pakistan in May 2025 followed by few days of missile war between Iran and Israel. These wars created insecurity for many countries in the region. Pakistan realised that they cannot rely on Chinese weapons and need support from Saudi Arabia and Turkey. Saudi Arab also felt they need military help from nuclear Pakistan. Hence Saudi and Pakistan made a defence NATO like pact to protect each other in case of conflict. There is rumour that Turkey may also join this security arrangement to make it a Gulf or OIC NATO. Indian PM Modi responded with a similar security pact with UAE that includes nuclear cooperation. With this one agreement, PM Modi weakened the proposed Gulf NATO alignment. Every hostile action has equal and opposite reaction from PM Modi USA President Donald Trump threatened global trade with threat of tariffs whic...

When NCP party was formed in 1999 as breakup group of congress party, Jitendra Awhad was selected the first National President of Youth NCP in 1999. NCP (Nationalist Congress Party) was formed by top congress leaders like Sharad Pawar, PA Sangma along with Tariq Anwar and Praful Patel. They maintained secular principle of congress but refused to accept foreign born Sonia Gandhi as their leader. They left congress mainly on account of foreign origin of Sonia Gandhi.

Do you agree with the Ladakh Congress Unit's statement that arresting Sonam Wangchuk will not restore peace and harmony in the region?

Image
Sonam Wangchuk was arrested under NSA in September 2025, two days after violent clashes between protesters and security forces left four civilians dead and over 90 injured in Leh. The Union Home Ministry has directly blamed Wangchuk, a prominent member of the Leh Apex Body (LAB), for allegedly provoking unrest during the agitation demanding statehood for Ladakh and inclusion under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution. He had been on a fortnight-long hunger strike before the violence started. Violence erupted during a bandh call. Wangchuk denied instigating the crowds, condemning the violence and insisting the movement was peaceful. The 24 September 2025 bandh spiralled out of control when a large group of youth marched towards the BJP office in Leh, vandalising property and clashing with police. Security forces responded with firing, which protesters claim occurred without warning or use of crowd-control measures like tear gas. One has to understand how a naxalite attack happens. It ...
