“BJP MP Pragya Thakur has been nominated to a 21-member parliamentary consultative committee on defence that will be headed by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh.”

India must be the only country that elects terrorists and then appoints them to defence panels.

The issue of #Aadhaar law being passed as a money bill still remains a fraud on constitution.

Why the Aadhaar Act’s Future Isn’t Set in Stone Yet

While the apex court has left the door open on whether it was actually a money Bill, any change will be contingent on how fast it acts in setting up the seven-judge bench and deciding the review petitions.

Do I really look like a guy with a plan?
I’m like a dog, chasing cars. I wouldn’t know what to do if I caught one.
I just do things...

Reminder that the term #UrbanNaxals was made up by a third-rate filmmaker frightened by free-thinking academia, media & individuals. The HM, frightened by the same things, turns an anti-intellectual smear campaign into national/internal security policy. https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/amit-shah-asks-crpf-to-go-after-urban-naxals/article29990585.ece

@prithul @RP See also the Irish model of Citizens' Assemblies. It's how they managed to wildly shift public opinion on social issues within a generation. I would link to some Irish experts, but unfortunately they are all on the Bird Site.

@gautambhatia @prithul I think Switzerland provides the best model for referendums, I've heard they're frequently conducted there. Their model of having largely independent cantons seems to allow for this, but Swiss opinion on the Brexit mess seems to be that 1. Adequate info was not communicated and 2. That yes/no was extremely reductive for such a complex question.
