The BJP’s inimical and nauseating ideology of religiously dividing the people for its political gains will never succeed in south India, Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala has said.
Speaking to reporters here on Thursday, he said the BJP, which was whipping religious sentiments of the people over the past few decades ahead of elections for fetching the votes and consequently coming to power, had started doing the dirty politics once again as the party had to face Assembly polls in five States. The BJP, in this line, had created unrest in Karnataka by creating the ‘hijab’ issue in schools and colleges again for political gains.
The fuel price hike, which was being done ritually at regular intervals even though the crude oil price in the international market had crashed to touch all-time low, had been put on hold, again considering the elections to be held in 5 States. The fuel price that had reached all-time high in the country, would go up further once the elections in these States were over, he predicted.
Aasheesh Pittie says birdwatching is not very unlike hunting, except that nothing is killed. “You track… you want to follow the bird… see it,” he says about this activity that he has pursued for nearly fifty years. Pittie, the editor of the ornithological journal Indian Birds, author of many classic reference books about birds and most recently, a collection of bird essays titled The Living Air: Pleasures of Birds and Birdwatching, was speaking at an event organised by the Archives of the National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS).
