Kharge’s Desperate RSS Rant

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge’s latest outburst — demanding a ban on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) — is not just laughably ignorant, but politically suicidal.

Lokpal’s Luxury Lust

When a body born out of a nationwide anti-corruption crusade turns into a caricature of itself, it’s not irony—its tragedy dressed in luxury.
