Politics at its most tasteless - Manoj Joshi, Mail Today
The real problem was the initial response. Mr Sibal could have said: ‘We have seen the cartoon, and understood what it is trying to say - that the Constitution making process needs to be speeded up. There is absolutely nothing derogatory to Babasaheb Ambedkar there, and so there is no need for any action on our part.’ After all what does the cartoon depict - Babasaheb and Pandit Nehru trying to get the constitutional process to move faster.

Verbatim

Shashi Kant Sharma, Defence Secretary, is a surprise appointment as the new Comptroller and Auditor General following the retirement of Vinod Rai. the fact that as a senior officer in the Defence Ministry he had been a vital part of the decision-making process involving the most controversial purchase of Tatra trucks and the Agusta Westland helicopters, it ought to have automatically ruled him out for appointment as CAG. Conversely, the fact that as a bureaucrat he was a party to these deals may be precisely why he was appointed the CAG. He cannot be expected to pick holes in the very deals he had sanctioned as a senior bureaucrat in his new role as the CAG. Simple.

A conscientious citizen has challenged the appointment through a PIL in the Supreme Court.
