US claims to be the biggest democracy and liberal attitude. The ‘Statue of Liberty’ represents the same. But US President Donald Trump has issued orders that refugees from 7 Muslim countries will not be allowed in US. Further, restrictions have been placed on the job seekers from other countries. Where is the liberalism focused in the US Constitution?

Usually there are more complaints against Delhi Police than compliments. But I had a different and pleasant experience yesterday.
Usually I go to the Deshabhimani office in V.P.House from my residence in Atul Grove Road, in the evening to get a copy of the day’s issue of the daily ‘Deshabhimani’ being published from Kerala. It will reach Delhi Office by about 4.00 PM. Yesterday( 27th January 2017) also I went to the office and got a copy of the daily of 25th. (26th was holiday being Republic Day). While walking back to my residence, I had to cross the Asoka Road, which is very busy with traffic continuously moving. I stood at the place where I have to cross having zebra lines. No vehicle was stopping and was going fast without giving a chance to cross. Then all of a sudden, the police constable who was standing on the other side of the road came this side, stopped the traffic and helped me to cross the half portion. Then he stopped the traffic on the other side and helped me to cross the other side also. I could cross the busy road with the assistance of the police constable. When I thanked, he smiled in a way indicating that it is his duty to help persons like me.
I was delighted to have such a nice experience from the Delhi Police. Thank you Delhi Police!

The Reserve Bank of India has granted permission for the functioning of the India Post Payment Bank and it is expected that the same will start functioning before 31 March 2017 as a report in the press indicates.
The RBI was not granting sanction for the Department of Posts to start the payment bank for a long time. Airtel and Paytm was granted permission earlier. It is informed that the facility will be rolled out in 650 using the network facility of 1.54 lakh Post Offices.
The government has appointed A.P.Singh of Indian Postal Service as the interim MD and CEO of IPPB. Is it necessary to have a separate entity for IPPB, when the Department of Posts is there? Is it trying to take away the banking business from the DoP?

“An impression prevails that you want to be seen as India,that criticism of you therefore amounts to criticism of India, tantamount to treason.”

Shri Pranab Mukherjee, President of India, in his Republic Day address, has stated that ” A healthy democracy calls for conformity to the values of tolerance, patience and respect for others.”
Exactly true. But unfortunately, those in power and at the helm of affairs either forget the advice or consciously act against the same. Intolerance and impatience has been the cause for the downfall of many.
