A nice and comprehensive account. The drama on the floor of the parliament left the regime quite a bit nonplussed. For the first time, the Modi regime had to encounter an LoP. That in itself is a pretty significant difference. And the LoP, to boot, was frankly aggressive and launched a no holds barred attack. On top of that, the *Khangress* leader was repeatedly flaunting an image of the revered Hindu deity Lord Shiva and projecting him as a sort fountainhead of "Hindu" morality. The Hindutva troops were completely unprecedented for that and just didn't know what hit them in the face. Of course, he also displayed the icons of almost all other major religions practised in this land. Of course, he did commit a few slips too. But, in the overall context, hardly mattered. Now, it's time to vigorously pursue the line: *Aap Hindu Ho Hi Nahin!* Not: *Narendra Modi is not all of the Hindu community.* Easier said than done. Afterwards, portions of his speech have been expunged. As has been done also in the case of the opposition leader in the upper house. And, then, the Parliamentary Affairs Minister -- after recovering from the initial shock -- has issued an open threat: < https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/nobody-can-expect-to-escape-kiren-rijiju-on-notice-against-rahul-gandhi-in-lok-sabha-6026999/amp/1 >. As a counter move a Congress leader has also filed a complaint against the Prime Minister before the Speaker (ref.: < https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/act-against-pm-modi-for-making-false-statements-in-lok-sabha-congress-mp-urges-speaker/article68367631.ece/amp/>) who publicly bows before the PM. Let's see how things unfold. In the meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi is in Hathras: <https://youtu.be/TmpntDjXEkU >. And Medha Patkar has been sentenced to five months improvement in a twenty-three-year old defamation case: <https://youtu.be/HbWHN-zG5sM>.
