The Hindu
They include protection from lynching, compulsory teaching of Bhagavad Gita
As many as 153 private members’ Bills were introduced in the Lok Sabha on Friday, including one that seeks protection from lynching and another wants compulsory teaching of the Bhagavad Gita in educational institutions.
The ‘Protection from Lynching Bill’ was introduced by Congress member Shashi Tharoor that provides for effective protection of constitutional rights of vulnerable persons, to punish acts of lynching and to have designated courts for expeditious trial of such offences.
Mr. Tharoor also introduced the data privacy and protection Bill to establish an effective regime to protect the right to protect data privacy.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
